Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 519 - 508: Battle, Crisis, Escape

"Boom!"

A terrifying explosion erupted suddenly, and at the moment the explosion sounded, this gorge began to tremble.

On the walls on both sides of the gorge, a large number of rocks fell down, and when they landed on the ground, they made a cacophony of noises, highlighting the terror of the explosion.

As the trembling of the gorge intensified, a horrifying aftershock swept through, cracking the ground with several wide fissures.

At the moment Wu Yunfeng’s silver needles collided with the Thousand Poison Puppet, the poisonous gases between them intensified rapidly, like the blazing sun in the sky, blinding.

Qin An retreated quickly in the waves of aftershock, simultaneously deploying the Nine Transformations Devil Sea Form to shield himself.

When he looked up, he saw the two sides using the silver needles as the battlefield, constantly unleashing poisonous fumes, attacking each other.

At this moment, the two sides were evenly matched, caught in a stalemate.

Seeing this scene, Qin An frowned slightly, sensing something amiss.

But he could only feel it, unable to identify where this sense of wrongness came from.

Just then, the battle between Wu Yunfeng and the Thousand Poison Puppet erupted once more.

Wu Yunfeng lifted a finger, and the thousand silver needles rapidly retreated, while the Thousand-legged Puppet seized the opportunity, turning into a blur, enveloped in toxic poisons, and charged at Wu Yunfeng.

Wu Yunfeng, unflustered, activated his Void Essence, manipulating the silver needles.

As Wu Yunfeng activated them, the silver needles seemed to have spirituality, advancing in waves towards the Thousand Poison Puppet.

The first wave of silver needles fell on the Thousand Poison Puppet, which struggled to resist with its poisonous gases.

However, these silver needles carried away a portion of the toxic energy.

As the second wave of silver needles gathered, they dispersed the toxic gases on the Thousand Poison Puppet once more, reducing them to nearly half.

At this moment, the Thousand Poison Puppet was extremely close to Wu Yunfeng.

As the Golden Dao Marshal, Wu Yunfeng was skilled in toxic cultivation techniques, yet his poison skills were not favored for close combat.

If the Thousand Poison Puppet got too close, death would be his only fate.

However, Wu Yunfeng seemed unfazed. As the Thousand Poison Puppet came within ten meters of him, he suddenly lifted his hand again, pointing with a finger,

With that motion, the remaining silver needles rapidly gathered, forming a long sword made of silver needles.

The long sword of silver needles seemed to break through anything, enveloped in terrifying poison, shooting toward the Thousand Poison Puppet.

"Boom!"

Another terrifying explosion sounded as the silver needle sword intertwined with the Thousand Poison Puppet’s toxins.

This time, the long sword swiftly pierced through the poisonous gases, running through the chest of the Thousand Poison Puppet.

The enormous force sent the Thousand Poison Puppet flying backward, crashing to the ground, twitching once before laying still.

Afterward, Wu Yunfeng’s face was slightly pale.

The secret technique he had just used was one of his most powerful.

It consumed a lot of energy to perform,

but even as he saw the Thousand Poison Puppet, pierced by the silver needle sword, Wu Yunfeng did not relax his guard.

Seeing the situation, Qin An pulled out a bottle of Dan medicine from his bosom and tossed it to Wu Yunfeng.

"Lord Wu, take the Dan medicine."

Wu Yunfeng reached back to catch it, without hesitation, opened the cap, and poured a large amount into his mouth.

As the Dan medicine took effect, Wu Yunfeng’s pale face smoothed slightly.

He didn’t look back, instead, fixing his gaze firmly on the Thousand Poison Puppet.

"It’s not dead. Be careful and keep your distance from us."

As soon as he spoke, the supposedly lifeless Thousand Poison Puppet suddenly moved.

It pushed itself up with forceful arms, standing once more.

The large bloody hole in its chest had already healed, particularly as the toxins coiled around its entire being.

This toxic energy somehow healed the Thousand Poison Puppet’s injuries.

As Wu Yunfeng’s words fell, the Thousand Poison Puppet seemed to recognize its opponent again, letting out a roar as it charged at Wu Yunfeng.

Its speed was even faster than before.

Wu Yunfeng did not pause, activating the thousand silver needles again, forming a whirlwind, spreading around him.

Each of these thousand silver needles seemed to have its own designated place.

As they rotated, they generated a shrill wind sound.

The toxic gases flowed between the silver needles, and with the onset of the wind sound, grew fiercer as if fueled by the wind.

"Slash!"

Wu Yunfeng shouted loudly.

The toxic whirlwind of silver needles swept toward the Thousand Poison Puppet.

The Thousand Poison Puppet seemed to sense the danger as well.

It quickly halted, pulling its arms together, and suddenly several cracks opened up behind it.

Toxins surged within the cracks, and suddenly, four more arms extended from them.

In the blink of an eye, the Thousand Poison Puppet had six arms.

As the toxic whirlwind of silver needles neared, the Thousand Poison Puppet transformed, each of its six arms rapidly proliferating, in less than a breath, materializing a thousand arms.

The thousand arms were densely embedded on its back, and where there was no room, new ones grew on top of each other.

This appearance was horrifying, causing an involuntary shudder.

What’s more unsettling is that in each palm of these thousand arms, a poison manifested.

Every poison was different.

Truly befitting of its moniker, the Thousand Poison Puppet.

The Thousand Poison Puppet did not pause, swinging its thousand arms.

A thousand kinds of toxins rushed toward the silver needle whirlwind, visibly to the naked eye.

"Boom!"

Yet another terrifying explosion sounded, and as the toxins assailed it, the silver needle whirlwind became subtly fragile.

Seeing the situation, Qin An raised the Treasure Bead with his hand, letting it float in mid-air, while injecting strands of Void Essence.

As the Void Essence infused, the Treasure Bead radiated a gentle glow from within.

A series of exquisite medical techniques shot out from the Treasure Bead, and in the blink of an eye, manifested as thousands of techniques.

These thousands of techniques entered the poisonous mist of the Thousand Poison Puppet, causing the mist to dissipate instantly.

Seeing this, Wu Yunfeng quickly manipulated the silver needles, merging them into a giant sword that once again pierced through the body of the Thousand Poison Puppet.

This time, the giant sword shattered the Thousand Poison Puppet into pieces, appearing extremely wretched.

Wu Yunfeng let out a long breath, took out a pill, and consumed it once more, greatly reducing the pallor on his face.

Had Qin An not used the medical techniques from the Treasure Bead earlier, he might have already been injured by now.

At such a critical moment, getting injured would lead to an unspoken consequence.

Wu Yunfeng looked at the shattered Thousand Poison Puppet and finally relaxed.

He was about to put away the silver needles.

But just then, Qin An’s voice suddenly rang out.

"Lord Wu, don’t relax. It seems it’s not dead yet."

Hearing Qin An’s words, Wu Yunfeng was taken aback and then looked carefully at the shattered Thousand Poison Puppet.

As he looked at the puppet, he immediately noticed its limbs, head, and torso quivering slightly.

Where there was no poisonous mist, it rapidly spread out, looking terrifying as if ribbons wrapping around the fragmented body, quickly pulling it back together.

In just a few breaths, the Thousand Poison Puppet had reformed its body.

The twisted and upside-down features now appeared even more disordered, causing a heart-clenching fear upon a single glance.

Wu Yunfeng showed a look of terror: "What on earth is happening?"

According to Evil Extermination Bureau’s records, even the Thousand Poison Puppet should have died.

"Lord Wu, do you think it’s possible that since it’s a puppet, there must be someone behind it?"

"It’s quite normal for it to possess some special abilities." Qin An said.

Wu Yunfeng’s heart tightened upon hearing Qin An’s words: "If that’s the case, we need to prepare to flee."

He realized that what Qin An said made sense.

But if it’s true that someone is behind the Thousand Poison Puppet as Qin An suggested,

The existence behind it was unimaginable.

A single Thousand Poison Puppet could force the Golden Dao Marshal to use all his strength. Although not adept at combat, the Golden Dao Marshal was still terrifyingly powerful.

The people behind it would only be more formidable.

Moreover, Wu Yunfeng was well aware of his own situation.

Though they seemed to have the upper hand, in reality, each battle with the Thousand Poison Puppet allowed the poisonous mist to envelop his own poison and absorb it, strengthening its own power.

If this continues, within an hour, it’s likely that he would be the first to fall.

Wu Yunfeng pondered for a moment, then turned around, preparing to rush towards Qin An.

He intended to take Qin An and leave this place first.

As for not acquiring the thousand-legged centipede this time, that was secondary; survival was the priority.

Next time, they could search for the corresponding poisonous creature again.

Then, with Qin An, they could return and avoid the Thousand Poison Puppet, reducing the danger significantly.

But before Wu Yunfeng could reach Qin An, the Thousand Poison Puppet seemed to sense something, abandoning its upright position and choosing to move on all fours.

Simultaneously, the poisonous mist covering the Thousand Poison Puppet adjusted its limbs to equal lengths.

The Thousand Poison Puppet lifted its head, its four-legged stance and distorted features inducing a sense of dread.

With force from its four legs, its speed doubled, arriving in front of Wu Yunfeng in an instant.

Wu Yunfeng, startled, hurriedly waved the silver needles, forming a soft armor.

With a terrifying roar, the Thousand Poison Puppet’s hand struck fiercely against the silver needle barrier.

The silver needle barrier shook violently.

Wu Yunfeng spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward, crashing against the edge of a cliff.

He hastily took out the pills, pouring all remaining ones into his mouth, storing them, and then resumed manipulating the silver needles.

The needles formed a continuous assault, like ocean waves, surging towards the Thousand Poison Puppet.

This time, Wu Yunfeng’s attack seemed ineffective.

After the puppet started moving on all fours, it seemed to possess a keener sense of smell and terrifying speed.

Its limbs skidded across the ground, dodging with each movement.

All of Wu Yunfeng’s attacks were evaded by the Thousand Poison Puppet.

At this moment, with each dodged attack, the puppet frantically closed the gap with Wu Yunfeng.

As it was about to reach Wu Yunfeng, he hurriedly withdrew thousands of silver needles again, weaving them into a net in front of him.

The Thousand Poison Puppet struck the net violently.

Wu Yunfeng’s body flew backward again, this time altering direction mid-air, landing in front of Qin An.

Grabbing Qin An’s arm, Wu Yunfeng swiftly fled.

Without hesitation, he ran forward with Qin An in tow.

The Thousand Poison Puppet frantically chased after them.

Due to having the initial advantage, Wu Yunfeng had already covered a significant distance.

But with the puppet now moving on all fours, the gap was slowly closing.

Qin An felt the wind in his ears, glanced back at the Thousand Poison Puppet, and frowned.

Wu Yunfeng’s voice sounded near his ear.

"First, leave the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak. The poisons here have one characteristic: they absolutely won’t leave the peak. Once we escape its range, the Thousand Poison Puppet won’t chase us, and we can preserve our lives, planning slowly for next time."

Qin An contemplated deeply.

He understood clearly that Wu Yunfeng was correct.

At this moment, they were no longer capable of battling it.

But with their current speed, could they truly escape?

This thought crossed Qin An’s mind, and he suddenly spoke: "Lord Wu, why not take a desperate gamble?"
