This was Ye Zhongming's first time using a brand new profession, and it would be a lie to say he wasn’t looking forward to it.
No matter how grandly the profession scroll described its capabilities, in the end, it all came down to the actual results. Even if Ye Zhongming felt this profession was very powerful, he still felt a bit anxious until it was proven.
From the moment the sand dance was held in his hand to when it was raised above his head, the process was extremely quick. However, when the ten thousand layers seal blade slash was unleashed, Ye Zhongming clearly felt the knife in his hand pause in mid-air for a moment.
Then, he noticed that beside the sand dance, there was a long shadow of the blade at intervals.
To others, they didn’t even see clearly what actions Ye Zhongming took; a long knife just appeared in his hand. When the long knife cleaved forward, an elongated blade radiance appeared along the blade, resembling a sheath for this blue-grade weapon.
After that, five blade shadows appeared on each side, totaling ten, each spaced about several dozen centimeters apart, all slashing down with the central blade shadow.
These people had seen flashy skills before, but this skill, infused with immense pressure, blinding light, and even a scorching aura, was something they had never witnessed.
Under the gaze of many, these blade shadows neatly descended.
Many people were blocked by those in front and could no longer see what was happening, but they heard the sound of flesh being sliced apart.
For these survivors in the apocalypse, such sounds were not unfamiliar.
After the sound, they noticed the monster group was somewhat chaotic; the previously ferocious and bloodthirsty monsters seemed to hesitate.
Ye Zhongming retracted his war knife, now stained with monster blood, his eyes filled with excitement.
This profession's skill was indeed strong.
The monsters’ bodies were their greatest reliance. Lacking any innate abilities, once they got close to the survivors, it was a nightmare no one wanted to face.
Aside from a few survivors specialized in physical techniques, others were basically doomed to be slaughtered when confronted by monsters of the same level.
This was not hard to comprehend; after all, a monster possessed a physique higher than that of a human survivor by one or even two levels, so how could they not crush them when close?
A level six monster, with a physique comparable to an eight-star evolver, Ye Zhongming had not expected to kill it in one strike. Yet, this creature was split in two under the attack of the ten thousand layers seal blade slash.
As the blade light dimmed, the blade shadows also disappeared, and Ye Zhongming gained immensely.
He discovered that although he could not control the direction of the ten blade shadows, he could control the distance between them. From the initial several dozen centimeters apart, they nearly overlapped when striking the monster.
This was the fundamental reason why this blow could directly cut the monster in half; a one hundred percent attack power sand dance, combined with ten blade shadows carrying fifty percent attack power each, struck the same spot together.
Not only that, Ye Zhongming also found that this skill was incredibly fast. From the moment he struck to when it hit the enemy, the duration was indeed very brief. If it weren't for the blinding brilliance of those blade shadows, one might not have seen the trajectory of the attack at all.
The three imprints on the blade also played their respective roles. The metal character seal, needless to say, was what allowed the sand dance to break through the monster's body, while the mountain character seal slowed the monster’s speed at a critical moment. Finally, the fire seal burned the wound; even if this creature hadn’t been cut in half, it would likely have been poisoned by the fire, incinerating its internal organs.
Didn’t they notice that the two halves of the monster’s body fell to each side without any organs or blood flowing out? That was because the wound had been completely charred.
