Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 388 - 378: Killing Chen Xian, the Mastermind Appears

Chapter 388: Chapter 378: Killing Chen Xian, the Mastermind Appears

The field was silent, only Chen Xian’s bloodthirsty laughter echoed in the dark night.

A sudden anomaly occurred here, causing the panicked county captain and the disciples of the Yang family to stand stiffly as if struck by lightning.

They hadn’t expected, before the Pseudo-God even appeared, that these Mountain Patrol Silver Generals would start an internal conflict, and first a female Silver General was killed.

Lv Qi was full of shock, looking at the long spear in his hand, then at Chen Xian: "Why have you suddenly improved so greatly?"

He was at Inner God Realm Perfection; killing Chen Xian was like picking something out of a bag.

Yet, in just a few days, Chen Xian’s strength had surpassed his.

Layers of Power of Divine Soul surged from Chen Xian’s body, gradually nourishing his flesh.

Upon hearing this, the cruel smile on Chen Xian’s lips intensified.

"The opportunity has come, unstoppable, before killing this brat, I’ll first sacrifice you to my axe!"

At this moment, Chen Xian’s aura had already surpassed Inner God Realm Perfection, approaching Half-Step Unity Realm.

The axe was swung by Chen Xian, carrying the force to break the air, slashing towards Lv Qi’s head.

Lv Qi felt the pressure coming like a mountain, hurriedly raised his spear to block.

"Clang!"

Another clash of metal sounds, sparking and illuminating the surrounding darkness.

Lv Qi was blown back, fiercely planting his spear into the ground, leaving a long scratch before stopping his body.

Blood flowed from the tiger’s mouth, staining the spear shaft bright red.

Lv Qi only felt intense pain in his organs, a mouthful of fresh blood spewed out.

Just one strike, and he was internally injured.

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, pulling Lv Qi from his shock.

"The Divine Soul Refining Body Skill is not achievable in a day." Qin An stepped forward with Cold Star: "You have someone backing you, and it’s someone you’ve met recently."

"Divine Soul Refining Body Skill, what is that?" Lv Qi asked instinctively.

Qin An didn’t answer, continued approaching: "What a pity, one wrong step, and you lose your life."

Chen Xian, hearing Qin An’s calm tone, was enraged: "Brat, even at this time you’re still so arrogant, simply unaware of the danger!"

The anger in his heart was burning; especially Qin An’s current composure reminded him of the humiliation Qin An gave him not long ago, it was as if a knife was still at his neck.

"Die die die, all must die!"

Chen Xian laughed madly, the huge axe in his hand danced like a storm, swinging down towards Qin An.

The terrifying True Essence attached to it, accompanied by the axe striking down, even the surrounding air twisted like a snake.

This axe gathered Chen Xian’s Secret Technique and the terrifying Divine Soul Refining Body Skill.

Even those at Inner God Realm Perfection must avoid its edge.

Lv Qi saw this, lifted his spear and hurriedly came over, shouted: "Mr. Qin, be careful, this person’s strength is several times greater than before!"

Halfway through speaking, Lv Qi stopped.

Because the scene before him surpassed his imagination.

Just heard a clang, the mountain-like heavy axe suddenly halted.

Under the sparks, Cold Star steadily held the axe blade.

Lv Qi hadn’t expected that such a terrifying axe strike could be easily blocked by Qin An.

Chen Xian was also stunned, he seemed to see the thing he most feared in his life, his eyes flashed with terror.

He remembered the humiliation he suffered not long ago, seeing Qin An block the axe, the fear in his heart was expanding.

Qin An’s voice slowly came: "I thought you truly stepped into Half-Step Unity Realm, but didn’t expect it was fake, using Divine Soul Refining Body Skill’s Half-Step Unity, much weaker."

Qin An had battled those in Half-Step Unity Realm, that ancestor of the Qian family indeed very terrifying.

But the current Chen Xian was just a false Half-Step Unity, compared to the Qian family ancestor far inferior.

Just a bit stronger than average Inner God Realm Perfection.

Now, Qin An differs greatly from before, not only has his Heart Method reached Inner God Realm Perfection, his Blade Skill and Martial Techniques as well.

Coupled with the supreme foundation he forged along the way, blocking this axe wasn’t difficult.

"Arrogant!" Chen Xian suppressed the fear in his heart, his expression increasingly mad.

He almost used madness to suppress his fear of Qin An, swinging the axe horizontally.

This time aiming at Qin An’s waist, if struck, Qin An’s waist would be instantly severed.

Yet Qin An was calm, raised his blade to clash with the axe blade.

"Clang!"

Another sound of sparks, Seven-Colored True Essence covered Cold Star.

Seven Stars Ruthlessly Merging Snow Blade, elevated to Inner God Realm Great Success, naturally matched with Seven Types of True Essence, using them to their peak.

"My turn now." Qin An smiled faintly.

Cold Star changed from blocking to piercing, fiercely stabbing at Chen Xian’s chest.

Chen Xian felt the Seven-Colored True Essence like a terrifying beast.

If stabbed in the chest, probably he’d die instantly.

In the moment of danger, he placed the axe horizontally, using the axe face to receive Qin An’s blade.

"Clang!"

A clear sound, a deep pit appeared on the axe face.

Chen Xian retreated rapidly, stepped back dozens of steps before stopping.

He hurriedly held the axe upright, but Qin An’s figure was missing ahead.

Only a fading shadow remained.

From behind came an icy killing intent, causing the hairs on Chen Xian’s back to stand.

Chen Xian shouted, swung the axe horizontally, slashed behind without looking.

A gust of wind sounded, Cold Star was faster, pierced his back before the axe was near.

This strike, Qin An didn’t use Three Blades Unite.

Because Secret Technique was meant for actual Half-Step Unity, not this false Chen Xian.

Intense pain spread, extending throughout his body.

Chen Xian almost couldn’t hold the axe.

He hurriedly lunged forward, allowing Cold Star to be pulled out from his back, after rolling on the ground, only then steadied himself.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" Chen Xian shivered.

The previous madness was now overtaken by fear, restoring a bit of clarity in his mind.

He couldn’t believe, he borrowed from Secret Technique and Divine Soul Refining Body Skill, yet was first injured.

If he hadn’t escaped quickly, the moment the Seven-Colored True Essence exploded, it would’ve claimed his life.

Lv Qi suddenly stood down with his spear, preventing Chen Xian’s escape but didn’t take action.

He realized that with Qin An here, it made no difference whether he took action or not.

Given the situation, he might as well support Qin An.

"Impossible, impossible!" Chen Xian looked up, tears streaming down his face, murmuring to himself, "Why does a person like you exist in this world? I can’t catch up to you even if I sacrifice everything!"

Qin An did not answer, merely stepping forward again with the Dragon Chant Two Directions Shadow Step, swinging his saber horizontally.

He knew that at this moment, Chen Xian had completely broken down, both mentally and in thought, plunged into utter chaos.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

After being humiliated by Qin An, he had thought that the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill would help him turn the tables and repay past humiliations in full.

But never did he think that after all his efforts and even killing his beloved, he still could not take Qin An’s head.

Now he was even caught in a dire predicament.

In such circumstances, anyone would collapse.

Chen Xian looked at the approaching Cold Star, a glint of madness flashing in his murky eyes, "Even if I die, I will take a bite out of you, Qin An. I will make sure you remember me forever!"

As his words fell, he suddenly broke his axe.

The part with the axe blade blocked Qin An’s Cold Star, the massive force reverberating through his entire body.

Chen Xian vomited a large amount of blood in agony, but he laughed hysterically, stabbing the remaining part into his chest.

It was a fatal point, and also the most painful place throughout his body.

This was a secret technique Chen Xian got from the Confidential Library, using the most painful acupuncture point to trigger the potential of his entire body, elevating his power once more.

After using it, he was certain to die.

But that no longer mattered.

If he couldn’t kill Qin An, he was dead anyway.

He was now disgraced, even killed the one he loved most, and if he could inflict some damage on Qin An in the end, even just taking a piece of his flesh, it would suffice.

Lv Qi saw this and showed a worried expression, "Mr. Qin, be careful, this is a mutual destruction secret technique!"

"Oh?" Qin An replied calmly, "Too bad, it’s too slow."

Lv Qi appeared puzzled.

Chen Xian also showed confusion.

The next moment, he understood what Qin An meant.

Qin An’s straight blade swung back, the seven-colored true essence on the Cold Star Saber surging like a tide.

This strike was exquisitely executed, slashing fiercely at Chen Xian’s neck.

Chen Xian wanted to swing his axe back but it was already too late.

Blood spilled, and his head flew skyward, carrying a sense of unwillingness.

Even as it was about to hit the ground, Chen Xian’s head still had consciousness, his mouth opening silently to mutter a few words.

"That’s not fair!"

He still needed some time to trigger the pain, but before he could use his secret technique, he was decapitated by Qin An.

The headless body fell to the ground with a thud, and the terrifying head went silent.

Qin An lifted the Cold Star and wiped it twice on Chen Xian’s corpse.

After wiping off the blood droplets, he looked toward the sky again.

Lv Qi shivered involuntarily.

He had never seen someone so ruthless; the decisiveness of that final strike completely reshaped his perception of Qin An.

"Indeed, he is the person Mr. Jin holds in high esteem, even this level of decisiveness in the face of adversity surpasses mine." Lv Qi thought to himself and then saw Qin An looking up at the pseudo-god figure in the sky, ready to approach and discuss how to handle the aftermath.

But just then, Qin An suddenly spoke.

"It’s not over yet."

Lv Qi showed a puzzled expression.

Qin An glanced at the headless corpse, "His Power of Divine Soul has been extracted."

Lv Qi looked down and saw the divine soul power erupting from the headless body, rushing to merge with the divine soul formed by the gathered townsfolk in the sky.

In an instant, that divine soul sphere expanded further.

"Mr. Lv," Qin An suddenly spoke.

Lv Qi snapped back to attention, speaking solemnly, "Mr. Qin, what do you need? As long as it’s possible, I will do my utmost."

He knew that when Qin An spoke at this moment, it was no small matter and must be related to their mission.

The aura in the sky was extremely terrifying, already faintly surpassing the previous Chen Xian.

If the pseudo-god revived, the only thing awaiting them would likely be death.

So now everything must follow Qin An’s lead.

Qin An calmly said, "If anyone tries to stop you later, do your best to hold him back; I need to slay this pseudo-god before I come to assist you."

Lv Qi first frowned, then nodded solemnly, "Don’t worry, even if I must die, I will stop them."

Qin An nodded.

Lv Qi asked again, "Do you have a plan to fight the pseudo-god alone?"

"A little." Qin An brushed his hand over the blade, "We’ll find out by trying."

Lv Qi felt a bit helpless but also knew that what Qin An said was correct.

After all, no one can have absolute certainty.

Qin An suddenly said, "It’s time to come out; if you don’t, your plan will be in vain."

After speaking, Qin An raised his hand, and the seven-colored true essence shot towards the pseudo-god like thunder.

The pseudo-god had not yet formed, unable to block the seven-colored true essence.

Just then, a terrifying true essence shot out, scattering the seven-colored true essence.

A shadowy figure emerged from the darkness.

"That waste died so quickly; I thought he could hold out for a while. I never expected to be exposed so soon."

Wu Ning, dressed in commander’s attire, with a touch of amusement in his eyes, slowly stepped forward.

His gaze shifted to the side towards Lv Qi, carrying a mocking tone.

"It seems your plan isn’t so perfect; just this rotten vegetable can’t stop me?"

As his words fell, terrifying Power of Divine Soul flickered on Wu Ning’s body.

The Power of Divine Soul soared, causing the divine soul formed by many townsfolk to rapidly merge with the pseudo-god.

"I’ll give you hope; merging takes time. If you really can kill me and the Heavenly Origin Pseudo-God, then these divine souls will return to the townsfolk’s bodies."

Wu Ning spoke with a hint of mockery.

In the sky, the pseudo-god’s eyes suddenly opened wide!
