Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 362 - 351: Killing Zheng Qun Mountain

The heavenly ladder rose from the ground, piercing directly into the sky.

The grand scene that originally complemented the blue sky and drifting clouds was now chaotically disturbed by the surging blood aura.

Liu Yi leaned against the True Essence Barrier, raising a hand to wipe the blood from her lips.

Below, Wang Yue, Duan Yun, Zheng Qun Mountain, Lu Wufeng, Elder Hu, and the Stove King, six Inner God Realm Perfection experts, gazed coldly, their murderous intent locking onto her like a tangible presence.

The other attackers had long been defeated by her, lying sprawled at the end of the steps, no longer capable of battle.

Liu Yi wiped away the bloodstain at the corner of her mouth, her face pale as paper.

Two porcelain bottles lay at her feet, their contents of Golden Essence Pills and Silver Essence Pills were already depleted.

The array power surrounding her had also disappeared completely.

At this moment, Liu Yi was incredibly weak.

Continually using the Secret Technique had placed an enormous burden on her body.

"Qin An, how much longer?" Liu Yi gasped, "I can’t hold on anymore."

It was already not easy for her to repel other Inner God Realm experts under the siege of so many Inner God Realm Perfection warriors.

Now, she was like a thread about to snap, any additional force would break it into two.

There was no sound from within the True Essence Barrier.

Liu Yi gave a bitter smile, knowing that at this moment, Qin An likely still hadn’t broken the array.

At this time, Wang Yue, with an indifferent expression, advanced slowly with the Ink Sword in hand.

Duan Yun and others, controlled by the array’s illusions, surrounded Liu Yi with murderous intent.

Liu Yi spat another mouthful of blood, a fierce look flashing in her eyes: "Fine! Since there’s no way out for me — I’ll take you all with me today!"

She was trained by Green Vine, the Mountain Patrol Golden General with the heaviest blood on his hands.

Underneath her usual coquettish smile lay a heart honed to the extreme for killing.

Liu Yi channeled the last bit of true essence within her, preparing to stimulate all the death points in her body, maximizing her potential.

If she used this move, at best she would be crippled, at worst she would vanish into smoke and dust.

She had no choice now, only able to drag one down with her before dying.

As she made her decision, Wang Yue and the others launched their attacks.

The first to come at her was Wang Yue’s ink-colored sword energy.

Duan Yun, as the elder stationed here by the Shuang Jue Sect, mastered the wind and thunder Secret Technique, earning the sect its name.

Wind and thunder intertwined, forming a sky-reaching tornado, sweeping towards Liu Yi.

Zheng Qun Mountain’s weapon struck repeatedly, sealing all retreat paths around Liu Yi.

Lu Wufeng transformed into his Deer Demon form, lowering his antlers and charging fiercely at Liu Yi.

Elder Hu roared, a beam of light bursting from his bloodthirsty mouth, shooting at Liu Yi.

The Stove King’s flesh quivered, resembling a swollen balloon, and his massive hands descended on Liu Yi’s head like mountains.

Everyone’s attacks completely blocked Liu Yi’s every escape route.

Even if she wanted to run, she couldn’t get away.

At this life-and-death moment, Liu Yi’s eyes were incomparably calm, ready to pierce her true essence into her body’s death points.

But just then, a pair of hands reached out from the wall, catching her shoulder in her astonished gaze and pulling her into the True Essence Barrier.

"Boom!"

Their attacks slammed into the True Essence Barrier, dispersing it entirely.

Inside the True Essence Barrier, Liu Yi lay in Qin An’s arms, a hint of relief flashing in her eyes.

"Is it done?" Liu Yi weakly asked.

Qin An looked down at Liu Yi, shaking his head: "Not yet."

Liu Yi’s eyes widened: "Aren’t we doomed then?"

Qin An said calmly: "We won’t die."

As his words fell, the heavenly ladder that once reached the sky suddenly began trembling violently.

In the next moment, this grand heavenly ladder unexpectedly collapsed swiftly.

Wang Yue and the others were caught off guard, suddenly falling.

Qin An wrapped an arm around Liu Yi’s waist, the other reaching under her legs, lifting her horizontally.

The sound of fierce wind echoed by their ears.

Liu Yi stared blankly at Qin An’s face, unable to speak for a long time.

With a jarring impact, Qin An landed steadily.

At this moment, Wang Yue and the others suddenly came to their senses, their stupefied expressions replaced by bewilderment.

A flood of memories surged into their minds, only now realizing that they had been controlled by the array’s illusion.

Liu Yi frowned: "How did they awaken?"

Qin An’s gaze swept over them: "How difficult it is to break the array—I only broke the array controlling them, but that old guy is likely hiding somewhere, thinking about how to break the impasse."

"Put me down." Liu Yi tugged on Qin An’s clothes.

Qin An casually tossed her aside.

Liu Yi snapped to alertness immediately.

Fortunately, being an Inner God Realm Perfection expert, even severely injured, she reacted quickly and landed steadily on the ground with a flip.

"You—you’re utterly without any tenderness!" Liu Yi glared at Qin An with a coy resentment.

"Survival is more pressing than romance." Qin An’s gaze locked onto Duan Yun and the others: "That old guy hides here, so before pulling him out, let’s clear out some small fry."

Wang Yue was the first to react.

Though controlled by the illusion, ashamed beyond measure, he knew what Qin An intended.

Without a word, Wang Yue dashed to Qin An’s side, confronting Duan Yun and the rest.

Duan Yun raised an eyebrow: "Is Mr. Qin trying to deal with us first?"

Elder Hu stretched out his scarlet tongue, licking the corner of his mouth: "This little brat seems impatient, fine, let’s first remove this thorn, then there’ll be one less person dividing the spoils."

Lu Wufeng clenched his fists, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes: "Past grudges can be avenged today."

A shadow flickered across Zheng Qun Mountain’s face, though he said nothing, the deeply hidden killing intent grew even clearer.

Qin An suddenly looked at the plump Stove King: "Which side are you on?"

The Stove King’s fat quivered: "I’m aware of the grudges between you all, but whoever starts a dispute now, I’ll help the other side, so Mr. Qin, can you stop?"

"I can’t stop." Qin An replied coolly: "And your reason for helping someone isn’t what you just said; perhaps you’ve already made up your mind."

The Stove King scratched his head with a sheepish grin: "Mr. Qin, you really have a knack for stating the obvious, making things awkward for everyone. To ease this awkwardness, I guess I have no choice but to join them in killing you."

As he finished speaking, Wang Yue’s expression grew even more serious.

He also knows that the Stove King has chosen Duan Yun and others.

Liu Yi gasped, "Qin An, if things don’t go well, find a chance to escape."

There are five experts of the Inner God Realm Perfection on the opposing side, while Qin An’s side only has her and Wang Yue.

She is seriously injured now, even someone from the Outer Elixir Realm could kill her.

Although Qin An has the ability to overcome adversity, he is ultimately just at the initial stage of the Inner God Realm.

Qin An shook his head, "Once decided, kill them cleanly."

Lu Wufeng sneered at the remark, "I find you’re not only sharp-tongued, but somewhat overconfident. Do you dare claim you can eliminate our five Inner God Realm Perfection experts? Aren’t you afraid of being mocked to oblivion?"

Wang Yue said nothing, but gripped his wooden sword tightly, guarding Qin An behind him.

Even if it’s a fight to the death, Qin An must die after him.

If he dies first and the news spreads, the entire Ink Sword Sect would face Jin Fengyu’s wrath.

Zheng Qun Mountain suddenly spoke up, "Elder Duan, stop wasting words with him, let’s seize the moment to kill him so we can split the treasure."

Duan Yun nodded, activated his True Essence, pushing it to peak condition.

At this point, Qin An suddenly said, "Meeting any one of you outside would be a tough fight, but unfortunately for you, we’re inside, where I have the means to confront you."

As his words fell, the surrounding scenery dramatically twisted.

Immediately, terrifying arrays surrounded Qin An and Wang Yue.

Liu Yi was then pushed to a safe distance by the array.

Wang Yue felt his entire body’s power surge visibly, reaching an unprecedented peak, leaving him slightly astonished.

"While cracking the array earlier, I borrowed a part of the natural arrangement for emergencies."

Qin An stepped forward calmly, "Setting up outside would be difficult, at best I would offer Liu Yi a minor boost, but here I can utilize materials freely!"

As he finished speaking, the surrounding array not only enhanced Qin An and Wang Yue’s strength, but also subtly weakened Duan Yun and the others.

"Elder Wang." Qin An suddenly said, "Block two, the remaining three are mine."

Wang Yue’s sword trembled slightly, "To fight alongside Mr. Qin, it’s my fortune for three lifetimes!"

He genuinely meant it.

Since entering cultivation, this was the first time he witnessed such a talented individual.

Especially with this terrifying array enhancement, Wang Yue felt as if looking at the sky from inside a well and suddenly leaping out to see the entire sky.

"Kill! Kill them!" Elder Hu shouted fiercely.

With those words, Duan Yun and the others transformed into shadows, charging directly at Wang Yue and Qin An.

Wang Yue stepped forward first, shouting loudly, sweeping his Ink Sword across.

The instant the Ink Sword was drawn, sword energy pulled Stove King and Elder Hu together.

Currently, the three Inner God Realm Perfection experts are locked in battle.

With Qin An’s array support, Wang Yue surprisingly fought two Inner God Realm Perfection experts to a standstill.

"Die, brat!"

Duan Yun pointed like a sword, wind and thunder compressed to the tip, aiming straight for Qin An’s chest.

Though this move seemed light, it concentrated Duan Yun’s Secret Technique.

Even an Inner God Realm cultivator struck by it would be shattered by wind and thunder power.

Zheng Qun Mountain’s stance shifted, his weapon swiftly drawn from the waist.

The True Essence appeared thin, yet exuded endless sharpness.

Even the most solid defenses could be torn apart by this fearsome True Essence.

Conversely, Lu Wufeng had already revealed his Deer Demon form.

Terror covered his feet with True Essence, stabbing fiercely at Qin An’s chest and abdomen.

These three moved with Secret Techniques, aiming to kill Qin An immediately.

Qin An’s expression remained calm, suddenly lifting Cold Star, slashing vertically at Duan Yun’s fingers.

Three Blades Unite!

Three-Colored Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber!

As Cold Star struck, Qin An executed blade skills at their peak.

Three kinds of Six-Colored True Essence were pushed to their extreme.

The power of Three Blades Unite was unimaginably frightening.

Cold Star clashed with Duan Yun’s fingers.

The wind and thunder energy at Duan Yun’s fingertips erupted, scattering the power of Qin An’s Three Blades Unite.

At this moment, Qin An used the momentum to quietly retreat.

Duan Yun’s body quivered, feeling his fingers numbing.

The six-colored True Essence jolted his organs violently, causing him to cough up blood.

"Such a great Secret Technique! It managed to injure me lightly," Duan Yun sneered, "but you’re about to die."

At this precise moment, Zheng Qun Mountain and Lu Wufeng’s attacks were closing in.

Just then, Qin An suddenly sheathed his sword, raised his fists, and collided with Zheng Qun Mountain’s sharp True Essence.

Water Fire Blood-Combust Flame Sealing Hand!

Inside, there were still ten Demon Wills, and coupled with a pseudo-will Qin An acquired not long ago, totaling eleven.

At this moment, Qin An burned all ten Demon Wills completely.

A roar sounded.

Concentrating all Qi Blood Power into this punch, even Zheng Qun Mountain’s Sharp True Essence was blasted by Qin An’s fist.

Without losing momentum, his fist aimed at Zheng Qun Mountain’s chest.

Outside, even burning ten Demon Wills wouldn’t wield such power.

But now, within the natural array, under its fearsome coverage, this punch incited fear even in Inner God Realm Perfection.

Zheng Qun Mountain’s face changed, attempting to escape hastily.

But Qin An gave him no chance.

A chilling voice pierced Zheng Qun Mountain’s back.

"Ji Cheng was killed by me, as was Gao Huang," Qin An flashed like a ghost behind Zheng Qun Mountain, clutching his neck, "Now, it’s your turn."

Six-Colored True Essence erupted!

"Crack—"

The crisp sound of the throat bone breaking echoed.
