Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 464 - 353: Convergence and Battle

The arrival of Luoluo and her group became a shot in the arm on the battlefield.

The Mountain Patrol Golden General, such as Yu Garden, wore joyful expressions, and their morale instantly surged.

The Cat Demon and other pseudo-gods among the demons immediately reacted.

As soon as the Cat Demon uttered the words "Run quickly," many demons and pseudo-gods had already planned to retreat from this place.

However, before they could retreat, Luoluo, along with the Mountain Patrol Golden General and Mountain Patrol Silver General, quickly surrounded them from behind.

At this moment, a hint of fear appeared on the faces of the multitude of demons and pseudo-gods.

Although they all had the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill, which, when activated, could unleash unimaginable combat power,

now their opponents outnumbered them by more than double.

Seeing this situation, the Cat Demon shouted, "Scatter and run! Escape if you can!"

As soon as these words fell, the multitude of demons and pseudo-gods prepared to disperse and leave.

But at that moment, Luoluo waved her hand and said,

"Take action, leave none alive!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

As soon as this command was issued, the Mountain Patrol Generals all made their moves, and immediately, the battle commenced.

The Mountain Patrol Generals engaged in a melee with the demonic pseudo-gods.

Due to their numerical advantage, the Cat Demon and his group began to suffer casualties rapidly.

With thirty Mountain Patrol Golden Generals besieging ten pseudo-god demons of the Unity Realm, it was incredibly easy.

Within just a few encounters, several demons were slain by them.

Qin An withdrew the Straight Blade from the chest of a Unity Realm demon and casually absorbed the demon essence into his body, but his brow remained tightly furrowed.

However, as the battle continued, he didn’t dwell on it too much.

Due to the overwhelming numbers, in less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, eight or nine out of ten demonic pseudo-gods had perished on the battlefield.

At this moment, the Cat Demon, along with the remaining demons, wore expressions of utter terror.

They wanted to retreat, but there was nowhere to go.

"Impossible, impossible!" The Cat Demon stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the scene before him.

He suddenly turned around, looking at the wilderness behind him: "Where is our reinforcement?"

He was quite perplexed, wondering why their opponents’ reinforcements had arrived so quickly, while theirs hadn’t appeared at all, not even the slightest hint of them.

Yu Garden stepped on the bloodstained ground, approached the Cat Demon, and raised his hand to take the Cat Demon’s head.

Under the surge of terrifying True Essence, the Cat Demon couldn’t even resist and was reduced to a pile of flesh.

After doing all this, the many Mountain Patrol Generals guarding the upper road finally let out a sigh of relief.

Some of them, not caring about the blood-soaked ground, directly sat down.

Although Yu Garden was severely injured, he turned and clasped his hands in gratitude to Luoluo and others, saying, "Thank you, colleagues, for your support. Otherwise, we might have lost our lives here today."

Luoluo nodded and said, "Retreat first, after leaving this place, we can stabilize temporarily. We still have to support other areas."

Yu Garden also understood the urgency of the situation and quickly led the injured Mountain Patrol Generals away from the scene.

Soon, only Luoluo and her group remained here.

Luoluo was about to lead the group away to support the next place when she turned and saw Qin An frowning deeply.

Seeing this, Luoluo asked, "What did you discover?"

The other Mountain Patrol Generals had already cleaned up the battlefield and each had their achievements.

Upon hearing this, they subconsciously turned their attention to where Qin An stood.

Qin An was currently frowning, seemingly lost in thought.

After Luoluo spoke, Qin An snapped back to reality.

"Their reinforcements seem to be somewhat delayed."

As soon as he said this, Luoluo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly: "It does seem to be significantly delayed, and we haven’t seen their reinforcements arrive."

Both sides had set up similarly, with reinforcements like Luoluo’s group moving through the wilderness, and the same was true for the demonic pseudo-gods.

But this time, they hadn’t seen any.

This is where the puzzlement lies.

After all, in the previous battle, ten pseudo-god demons were killed,

and all of them were at the level of Unity Realm Perfection.

Regarding other demonic pseudo-gods, there were countless numbers.

Even with the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill, the losses were substantial for the Black Robe Pseudo-Gods.

Under such circumstances, the Black Robe Pseudo-Gods were bound to send reinforcements.

Yet the present situation told them that it seemed the Black Robe Pseudo-Gods really had acted this way.

"Do you suspect a trap?" Luoluo asked.

Qin An pondered for a moment and said, "Liu Yi, quickly use the token to notify Mr. Jin, and tell him to try not to kill too many demonic pseudo-gods."

Liu Yi was momentarily taken aback and instinctively asked, "Why?"

"I just thought of a possibility," as a cold light flashed in Qin An’s eyes: "The enemy deliberately lost the battle to let us seize more territory, for a colossal plan, and right now, the enemy may indeed be deliberately letting the demonic pseudo-gods die, for that plan."

Just a moment ago, after pondering for some time, Qin An finally arrived at this conclusion.

The Black Robe Pseudo-Gods managed to grow from nothing in Xunyang Prefecture to their current level, even subduing Situ Shen.

They couldn’t possibly be fools.

What Qin An and the others considered for reinforcements, the Black Robe Pseudo-Gods surely thought of as well; they would never let their demonic pseudo-gods die in vain.

But now, the Black Robe Pseudo-Gods were slow in mobilizing reinforcements, or rather, hadn’t made any moves for reinforcements.

Qin An had an idea.

The Black Robe Pseudo-Gods were deliberately sending their demonic pseudo-gods to die.

And all of this was surely for the Black Robe Pseudo-Gods’ plan.

As for the exact details of the plan, it was unknown.

Liu Yi showed a look of realization and immediately conveyed Qin An’s thoughts to Jin Fengyu through the token.

Luoluo fell into contemplation.

Next to her, Tiger Girl suddenly became restless.

Tiger Girl, the pseudo-god tiger by Luoluo’s side, was also at the Unity Realm level.

During the recent battle, it played a significant role.

At this moment, Green Luo immediately noticed something unusual about Tiger Girl.

Green Luo raised her fair palm and gently pressed it on Tiger Girl’s head, asking, "Er Niu, what’s wrong?"

Tiger Girl lifted her spotted tiger head, showing some uncertainty and suspicion on her face: "Grandma, I felt something was wrong. It was like a particularly unsettling feeling, as if an incredibly terrifying kin was about to appear."

An incredibly terrifying kin?

Green Luo’s brows furrowed even deeper.

She continued to ask probing questions: "Explain in more detail."

However, Tiger Girl’s face soon showed a look of bewilderment.

"I can’t sense anything more, but that moment of palpitations felt extremely real."

Tiger Girl wanted to describe it more precisely, but the sensation seemed indescribable in words.

After a long struggle, a hint of restlessness even appeared on her body.

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t figure it out.

Seeing this, Green Luo consoled, "Alright, Er Niu, don’t think about it anymore. For now, let’s take it one step at a time."

The situation was becoming increasingly bizarre.

Especially Tiger Girl’s unusual state made Green Luo think Qin An’s suspicion was likely correct.

At this moment, Liu Yi, who was responsible for communication, raised her waist tag, her expression extremely grave.

"Everyone, something seems off."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s eyes immediately turned to Liu Yi.

Only then did Liu Yi raise her token and say, "We just received news from Mr. Jin. He said it’s not just us; even other routes have encountered many demon pseudo-gods, as if they’re being sent to their deaths."

"In just a short period, quite a few Unity Realm demon pseudo-gods have already died."

Upon hearing this, everyone once again looked towards Qin An.

Combining this with what Jin Fengyu had said earlier, they knew there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that Qin An’s suspicion was true.

Qin An slightly relaxed his brows: "It seems we need to come up with a better plan. For now, avoid fighting them. Even if we do engage, try not to kill them. Delay as much as possible."

Since they knew the enemy’s plan, they had to respond accordingly.

Liu Yi quickly relayed Qin An’s intention to Jin Fengyu.

In less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, a reply came from Jin Fengyu.

And this reply was sent to every Mountain Patrol General.

Qin An picked up his waist tag and examined it closely, discovering that the reply consisted of just one sentence: Have everyone retreat as much as possible and avoid killing too many demon pseudo-gods.

Green Luo put down the waist tag and said, "Alright, Jin Fengyu has also issued the order, but we must not slacken in the slightest. Continue with the reinforcements to ensure our colleagues can retreat more safely."

"Of course, while providing support, try not to kill those demon pseudo-gods."

The many Mountain Patrol Generals nodded collectively.

Afterward, Green Luo said no more, identified a direction, and swiftly left.

Following behind her, Qin An couldn’t shake off an uneasy feeling in his heart for some reason.

...

In a deep cave dwelling.

The black-robed pseudo-god sat on the throne, feeling the Evil Qi growing more turbulent, an unusual hint of joy appearing on his face.

"You’ll never guess that besides conceding the Ancient Battlefield relic, I can also have the demon pseudo-gods sent to their deaths to complete my plan."

At this moment, his integration with the Evil Qi beneath his feet had reached a very high level, though it was just shy of success.

Just then, a Perfection Unity Realm demon quickly entered from outside, and upon seeing the black-robed pseudo-god, it immediately prostrated itself on the ground without saying a word.

"Reporting to you, sir, they seem to have discovered something. During their retreat, they avoid fighting us, and even when they fight, they hold back, as if just aiming to retreat."

Upon hearing this, the black-robed pseudo-god nodded and said, "I know."

The Unity Realm demon instinctively raised its head, a trace of confusion on its face.

Not long ago, when the lord’s plan had been thwarted, the lord’s anger was easily perceptible.

But now, the black-robed pseudo-god was unusually calm, which surprised him.

The black-robed pseudo-god calmly said, "I know why you’re surprised, but now the situation is set. Even if they want to stop, it’s too late."

As soon as the words fell, the black-robed pseudo-god suddenly stood up.

"You know, for this final plan to succeed, some demon pseudo-gods must be sent to their deaths, and it absolutely cannot be my doing. Gather all of those who are to die and have them attack their centerline."

"The centerline is their foundation. If they lose it, they’ll lose a lot of their initiative, and they definitely won’t let it go!"

"I’m giving you a task: make sure none of those demon pseudo-gods return alive, and ensure they all die at the hands of the Evil Extermination Bureau."

The Unity Realm demon, upon hearing these words, dared not utter a word of nonsense and agreed.

The black-robed pseudo-god patted the demon’s shoulder and said, "For the demon pseudo-gods who survive this battle, I will confer rewards one by one after it’s over."

The Unity Realm demon’s face showed a look of joy upon hearing these words.

Even though his kin were being sent to die, as long as it wasn’t him who died, everything was fine.

Afterward, the demon didn’t linger and quickly left the cave dwelling.

The black-robed pseudo-god continued to sit on the throne, patiently manipulating the Evil Qi.

...

As time passed, a few days went by in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, during these few days, an unexpected calm arrived.

Those demon pseudo-gods who were originally counterattacking all seemed to have received orders. They all retracted their claws and disappeared without a trace.

However, the numerous Mountain Patrol Generals were well aware that this calm was just the silence before the storm.

No one dared to relax.

At this moment, Jin Fengyu was in the tent, meticulously reviewing the recent battles.

The recent calm had provided him with time to review so that he could better control the battlefield in the subsequent battles through his review.

But just then, a Mountain Patrol Silver General hurriedly entered.

Upon seeing Jin Fengyu, the Mountain Patrol Silver General immediately cupped his fists and said, "Sir, something has happened!"

Jin Fengyu was slightly stunned, then quickly set aside the review documents and hurried out of the tent.

Once outside, he saw the scene beyond the tent, and his face suddenly grew grave.

"Send word to the Mountain Patrol Generals on the upper and lower routes as well as to Green Luo, have them hurry to the center route!"
