Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 394 - 384: Tearing and Final Battle

As the sense of pulling came, the Jin Mansion General present immediately had a drastic change in facial expression.

They were all experts in the Inner God Realm, fully aware of their own conditions, and knew that their divine soul had already undergone a change at this moment.

Zhou Yuanfeng felt that tugging sensation and redirected his True Essence in an attempt to resist the pull.

However, the pulling power on the divine soul was extremely strong, and even if he operated his True Essence to resist, he still felt a deep sense of helplessness.

It wasn’t only him; Tang Zizhen and the other Jin Mansion Generals felt the same way.

Every face showed a pale hue.

"Who exactly could perform such an earth-shattering Secret Technique?"

Tang Zizhen gritted his teeth and turned his gaze toward the people present.

The only one whose facial expression didn’t change was Qin An.

Qin An was also operating his Seven-Colored True Essence, blocking the soul pulling.

But soon he realized it was all in vain.

Since it was futile, Qin An instead went with the flow, patiently on guard, waiting for the upcoming changes.

In just a few breaths, everyone felt a disarray.

Soon after, they found themselves in a strange black world.

Here, the sky was black, the ground was black, and everything around was as dense and dark as ink.

Wherever the eye could see, was all in spine-tingling black.

Zhou Yuanfeng snapped back to his senses and raised his hand to look at his palm.

"Is the soul extracted here? Where exactly is this place?"

He could feel he seemed to have a physical body, but yet didn’t have one.

This mysterious feeling was extremely difficult to articulate.

The other Jin Mansion Generals felt the same way.

Tang Zizhen’s gaze never left Qin An.

Seeing Qin An composed, Tang Zizhen asked, "Have you discovered anything?"

Qin An patted the Cold Star at his waist, "Everything here seems illusory, derived from divine souls, but we can actually exhibit all kinds of physical abilities; however, when exerting them, it consumes the Power of the Divine Soul."

Upon these words being uttered, everyone tried for a moment, then their faces changed dramatically.

"Unable to recover?"

Zhou Yuanfeng looked at his palm, his face extremely horrified.

He just attempted to operate his True Essence and indeed found, as Qin An said, it consumed the Power of the Divine Soul.

The most crucial part was, once a bit was consumed, it disappeared completely, with no way to replenish.

If all the Power of Divine Soul was consumed here, one might turn into a living dead once outside.

"How can it be solved?" Tang Zizhen furrowed his brows and asked.

Noticing the surrounding Jin Mansion Generals looking at him, Qin An shook his head and said, "I don’t know how to solve it either, but I think someone will appear next."

As soon as these words dropped, the distant darkness began to surge.

Tang Zizhen frowned and said, "Why are you so certain?"

Qin An pointed at the surging darkness, "It couldn’t just simply trap us here; it must either trap us here or take our lives. It seems it’s the latter."

As Qin An finished speaking, Fang Yun emerged dressed in a white robe, leading numerous Jianghu people out of the darkness, revealing themselves before everyone.

Looking back, there were up to a hundred people.

Among them were more than a dozen Inner God Realm experts, while the Jin Mansion Generals present were only equal to the opponents’ Inner God Realm experts.

When Tang Zizhen saw Fang Yun in the white robe, his eyes flashed with astonishment.

"Wind-chasing Sword Fang Yun! How could it be you!"

Not only Tang Zizhen, but Zhou Yuanfeng and the other Jin Mansion Generals had the same expression.

Fang Yun patted the treasured sword at his waist and sighed, "I didn’t want to either, but there’s no way; who made that lord issue the order to take Qin An’s head?"

Zhou Yuanfeng turned his gaze to the others, discovering the people present were all famous Jianghu experts, and said coldly, "The noble Wind-chasing Sword, famous in Xunyang Prefecture for slashing demons and exterminating devils countless times, has now become a lackey of evildoers, if this gets out, it’ll surely be a joke."

Fang Yun said, "Don’t mention the past reputation anymore, and besides, I think being a lackey for the lord isn’t bad. What I did isn’t an evil deed; on the contrary, there are many things you don’t understand."

Speaking to this point, Fang Yun seemed to have opened up and kept talking.

"Think about it, if this Divine Soul Refining Body Skill could be cultivated by everyone, it would surely break the shackles of the practitioners, and the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill could serve as bait, planting roots of disaster, controlling monsters and pseudo-gods."

"If the experiment succeeds, Xunyang Prefecture will surely have everyone like dragons, becoming the safest place in the Daqian Kingdom."

With these words uttered, the other Jianghu people showed approval.

Everyone’s face was filled with fanaticism, as if completing an extremely great cause.

"What about the price?" Qin An suddenly said.

He didn’t know who the Wind-chasing Sword was nor the identities of these people, but he knew very clearly that this group seemed to have been brainwashed by the Mountain Patrol Golden General behind the scenes.

"Price?" Fang Yun put away the fanatical expression and sneered, "Does sacrificing half count as a price?"

"Perhaps half of the citizens of Xunyang Prefecture would perish due to this great experiment, but they are useful; their souls will be used by the lord and can become the paving stones in this great cause. They are destined to be written into history."

Saying this, Fang Yun stepped forward two steps with the long sword, his tone increasingly mad, his eyes bloodshot.

"You know, they were originally insignificant commoners, even living muddle-headed lives; now they can have the honor of being written into history books, but those who see this record will surely praise them; they will become people they could never be in their lifetime!"

"Utter nonsense!" A Jin Mansion General pointed at Fang Yun’s nose and yelled, "What kind of bastard are you, merely having the talent to step into the realm of cultivation; what gives you the right to determine others’ lives and deaths? Everyone’s life and death are decided by themselves!"

Another Jin Mansion General laughed coldly and retorted, "No matter who you are, no matter who the Mountain Patrol Golden General behind you is, you have already violated the iron law of the Evil Extermination Bureau; the Evil Extermination Bureau was founded to protect all beings in the world."

Zhou Yuanfeng and Tang Zizhen stood up together, "Since you think you’re right, then draw a line."

Fang Yun remained unmoved, shrugged, "Very simple. The lord behind me has always been willing to maintain peace between the Evil Extermination Bureau and Xunyang Prefecture; if you are willing to submit, help us deal with Qin An and take his head, then you can all live, even become a part of this great cause."

Tang Zizhen spat, "What if we don’t want to?"

Fang Yun’s gaze gradually turned cold: "If you’re unwilling, then you must all die here."

As his words fell, a surge of monstrous killing intent erupted from Fang Yun, firmly locking onto everyone present.

The rest of the hundred Jianghu people also stared intently at Qin An and the others, as if they wanted to swallow them alive.

Suddenly, Qin An laughed.

This inexplicable situation instantly puzzled everyone present.

Fang Yun glanced at Qin An, sneering: "About to die, your mind’s gone, how come you’re inexplicably laughing?"

Qin An shook his head and said: "I traveled all the way from Ding County, just wanting to quietly cultivate alone, but many people wanted my life; those who did, all died cleanly in the end."

"What a sharp-tongued mouth." Fang Yun laughed: "You are indeed as the master said, this mouth of yours nearly rivals your skills. If so, allow me to learn a lesson."

As his words fell, Fang Yun emanated the cultivation level of the Half-Step Unity Realm.

"Kill them!"

Fang Yun waved his hand.

Numerous Jianghu people charged at Qin An and the others, the battle was on the verge of erupting.

In an instant, it was like throwing fire into a pile of weeds, rapidly igniting.

Zhou Yuanfeng and Tang Zizhen, along with others, were endowed with Secret Techniques, being top-tier Inner God Realm practitioners left by the Evil Extermination Bureau in Xunyang Prefecture.

As the battle erupted, they immediately deployed various techniques, and the battlefield quickly became heated.

Zhou Yuanfeng and others wanted to slay these Jianghu people, but the Jianghu people cooperated seamlessly, faintly gaining the upper hand.

Qin An scanned the surroundings, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

At this moment, a sharp wind suddenly rushed in.

"Getting distracted in battle is not good, watch out lest you lose your life."

Fang Yun carried a long sword and swiftly attacked, emitting the terrifying cultivation of the Half-Step Unity Realm.

Qin An subtly raised his brow, then rotated his Straight Blade, tracing a profound trajectory in mid-air.

A terrifying vibration sound suddenly struck.

Qin An flew backward, steadying his form with his long blade rooted in the ground.

On the other side, Fang Yun retreated two steps, the madness in his eyes growing stronger.

"Good, good, indeed worthy of being unrivaled in both blade and fist. Just this blade skill alone is enough to make you stand tall in Xunyang Prefecture, but have you noticed anything amiss?"

Qin An raised an eyebrow and said: "Your consumed Power of Divine Soul seems to replenish itself."

Upon close observation, Qin An found that during the previous strike, Fang Yun had consumed a lot of Power of Divine Soul.

Yet this Power of Divine Soul swiftly replenished his entire body.

Not only him, but Zhou Yuanfeng and other Jin Mansion Generals also noticed this.

Some of the Jianghu people they were fighting possessed the Outer Elixir Realm strength; theoretically, their Power of Divine Soul should not be consumed much. However, after a short rest, the consumed Power of Divine Soul swiftly replenished.

In contrast, Zhou Yuanfeng’s side had no way to replenish after consumption.

Everyone’s mind simultaneously had a thought—they couldn’t even outlast them.

"You see clearly and despair, don’t you?" Fang Yun laughed heartily, his long sword pointing at Qin An: "Your consumption is permanent, while ours gets replenished by the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill. That’s our advantage; next, let me enjoy your despair and show you how the Wind-chasing Sword earned its name!"

With those words, a wind attribute of True Essence enveloped Fang Yun.

Fang Yun’s body flickered, seemingly teleporting in front of Qin An.

The long sword with unmatched speed pierced directly at Qin An’s heart like the wind.

This sword was too fast for even Inner God Realm Perfection to see the move.

Fang Yun’s sneer echoed slowly in the darkness: "You have the Blood Burning Secret Skill, but I know its limit clearly; you can’t kill me."

As he spoke, the long sword had already reached Qin An’s front.

Whether Zhou Yuanfeng or Tang Zizhen, or those Jin Mansion Generals who saw the situation, a look of despair surfaced on their faces.

They could feel that Fang Yun’s sword was too fast, making defense impossible.

They were also well aware that this mysterious dark space offered Fang Yun and others an unparalleled advantage.

Qin An could not possibly withstand.

Zhou Yuanfeng felt mournful: "What a pity, if Qin An could survive, he would undoubtedly be a towering figure in Xunyang Prefecture."

Even Tang Zizhen silently regretted for Qin An.

He even felt it wouldn’t matter if he himself died here, but Qin An shouldn’t die in this place.

The sword moved faster, almost reaching half an inch in front of Qin An’s heart.

When Fang Yun saw Qin An’s expression, calm as water, a sense of crisis emerged in his heart.

"Impossible, he absolutely can’t defeat me." Fang Yun thought.

The long sword became faster, about to pierce through Qin An’s heart.

Suddenly, Qin An raised his eyes and said: "You’re wrong."

As he spoke, a surge of dense Qi Blood Power welled up.

Immediately, Qin An’s Power of Divine Soul visibly diminished by half.

The price brought tremendous gain.

Qin An raised his right fist, crashing towards Fang Yun’s long sword.

With a crisp sound, Fang Yun’s long sword completely shattered.

Qin An’s hand bypassed the long sword, gripping Fang Yun’s neck, lifting him into mid-air.

The scene fell into dead silence.

People even forgot the battle, staring at the spectacle in shock. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Qin An said calmly: "The Blood Burning Secret Skill has limits; it’s because my body has limits. But here, in the world formed by Divine Souls, it’s the soul burning, so I have no limits."
