Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 378 - 367: Breaking the Stalemate, Green Luo Arrives
Under the dark night, Qin An’s voice was like a nightmare in the darkness, causing chills all over.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qi felt his hairs stand on end, staring at that chiseled face, fear washed over him like a tide.
"Stop him! Quickly stop him!" Lu Qi roared, glancing around, his face suddenly turning pale.
All around, the Deer Demons stood still, not making any moves, their expressions of fear were even more intense than his.
Lu Qi clenched his teeth, roared fiercely, and with his lone antler, viciously charged at Qin An’s chest.
He had no way out now, only a desperate fight remained.
Qin An smirked disdainfully, converting fist into a palm, striking heavily onto the antlers.
Once again, five demon senses burned completely, and the terrifying Qi Blood Power surged into Lu Qi’s entire being like an endless tide.
Lu Qi screamed in agony, his true deer form trembled and fell.
A massive blood hole appeared on his forehead, blood spraying out generously, soaking the green grass.
Qin An bent down, dug out the demon sense, his gaze sharp as a knife, swept over the remaining Inner God Realm Deer Demons, still smiling: "Who else?"
These three simple words, yet the group of Inner God Realm Deer Demons stood still, utterly motionless.
They were scared, truly scared.
If Lu Qi hadn’t died, perhaps he could have been their backbone, letting them temporarily put down their fear and continue to besiege Qin An.
But now that Lu Qi was dead, their backbone was gone too.
At this moment, fear won over, shrinking all their pores into a mass.
Just then, Qin An heard the sudden sound of wind behind him.
Accompanied by the wind was a roaring shout.
"Little bastard, cease your arrogance!"
Qin An turned to see Tiger Demon with jaws wide open, foul wind hitting his face, fangs aiming straight for his skull!
The breeze blew over, Qin An could even smell the stench from Tiger Demon’s mouth.
But Qin An did not retreat, instead he advanced turning retreat into attack, stepping forward.
Again, five demon senses burned, a punch struck directly at Tiger Demon’s chin.
Tiger Demon saw stars, the terrifying Qi Blood Power infused throughout every part of his body.
His five viscera and bones were shattered by this punch.
A headless corpse fell to the ground, the demon sense dug out by Qin An with bare hands, blood dripped through fingers to the ground.
Qin An said indifferently: "Shouting was the greatest, yet so useless, gave you a chance but you couldn’t seize it."
The night breeze softly brushed, lifting the hem of Qin An’s clothes.
At this moment, Qin An’s mysterious garment was stained heavily with blood, reflecting a dark crimson under the moonlight.
Qin An’s words were cold as water, yet seemed filled with infinite killing intent, causing the present demons to shiver together.
"Run!"
Somehow someone shouted first, the nearest Deer Demon turned and fled without any hesitation.
On the other side, Tiger Demons also took off running, daring not to continue besieging Liu Yi.
They dispersed in flight, not giving Qin An a chance to chase.
If Qin An chased any one of them, then the others would have a chance to survive.
Qin An stood within the night sky, staring at these fleeing demons, hands behind his back.
At this moment, Liu Yi caught her breath, wiped away cold sweat from her forehead, showing a wry smile.
She didn’t know why.
Usually everything went smoothly for her, her Inner God Realm Perfection cultivation made her thrive in Xunyang Prefecture.
But ever since carrying out two missions with Qin An, she became exceptionally unlucky.
First, almost losing her life at Bamboo Water River, then severely injured at the Qi Family ancestor’s tomb.
Just as she had recovered upon returning, now she’s injured again.
Yet now these demons scattered in flight, letting Liu Yi breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as she wasn’t dead, injuries didn’t matter.
Liu Yi circulated True Essence, stabilizing her injuries, then asked: "Not chasing?"
Qin An shook his head: "Why chase? It solves nothing, only finds more danger."
Liu Yi showed an enlightened expression.
She knew the terrifying Secret Technique Qin An wielded, even if used, it had a cost.
Qin An here was using a method to defeat others without fighting.
Intimidating these demons with invincible attacks, these demons fell for it.
In fact, Liu Yi believed that if anyone else were in the same situation, seeing Qin An like an unstoppable war god, it would likely result in the same scenario, perhaps even handling it worse than these demons.
"Too bad the loss was significant." Qin An sighed lightly.
This journey he used many demon senses, nearly five per punch, adding up to his collected senses, now only fourteen remained.
For Qin An it was quite a large loss.
However, being able to slay so many enemies, eliminating the living forces of Lu Mountain and Tiger Cave, it was quite worthwhile.
After all, these demon forces viewed him as a thorn in their side, normally hiding in the shadows.
A chance to kill so many Inner God Realm demons was not easy to come by.
"Let’s go, head back first." Qin An looked up at the moon in the sky.
Although the crisis was temporarily resolved, no one could say for sure if those demons would come to their senses.
If they did and found Qin An deceiving them, they might pounce at once.
If this were the case, even Qin An would likely be caught in a crisis.
Thus, haste in fleeing was more important than anything else.
Qin An and Liu Yi exchanged looks, ceased lingering, mounted their horses, ready to ride away.
But at that moment, something unusual happened suddenly.
Where those demons escaped, bursts of screams echoed.
These creatures are all fleeing in all directions, and the screams are incessant, everywhere.
Qin An raised an eyebrow: "Someone is killing them."
With a little discernment, one could clearly understand what exactly was happening.
Liu Yi widened her eyes and suddenly said, "I think... we don’t need to run anymore."
Qin An asked, "Why don’t we need to run?"
Liu Yi’s eyes brightened suddenly: "It’s Grandma! Listen... that’s the roar of Tiger Girl!"
Qin An then responded.
If you listen carefully, you’ll find that there’s one tiger’s roar that is completely different from the other tiger roars.
Liu Yi couldn’t hide her excitement: "With Grandma here, these ants can’t create any waves!"
Qin An thought briefly and nodded slightly in agreement.
Since Lü Luo has arrived, these creatures naturally can’t hold their ground.
The Mountain Patrol Golden General wanting to kill them is as simple as blowing air.
Thinking this way, the screams gradually ceased.
And from the start of the screams to their cessation, it took less than the time of two breaths.
Then, Qin An turned his gaze towards the depths of the darkness.
In the depths of the darkness, a figure in green clothes was gradually approaching.
At this moment, Lü Luo was carrying a cloth bundle, with blood beads dripping onto the ground from the bundle.
Tiger Girl was enveloped in Evil Qi, following behind Lü Luo.
When Lü Luo saw Qin An and Liu Yi, she tossed the bundle towards Qin An without hesitation.
The bundle drew an arc through the night sky.
Qin An caught it steadily, opened it, and saw that it contained the demonic essences of the creatures that were slaughtered.
In total, there were thirty-one, and added to the previous ones, Qin An found that some of his previously lost ones seemed to be compensated for, reaching a count of forty-five.
"Thanks, Grandma," Qin An thanked with a cupped fist, accepting them without reluctance.
The fact these demonic essences were given to him showed they were his.
Qin An didn’t refuse.
Lü Luo remained casual, but when her gaze turned to Liu Yi, she suddenly donned a stern demeanor: "Little girl, having escaped from death this time, you ought to curb your attitude."
Qin An glanced around, and for some reason, he felt Lü Luo’s forced seriousness in front of Liu Yi was quite fake.
As if she didn’t have that temperament, yet insisted on appearing strict in front of her disciple, making it somewhat amusing.
Tiger Girl puffed a breath of white vapor from her nose, pressed closer to Qin An, and nudged him with her tiger head, whispering: "Don’t mind her; Grandma just loves putting on the master act."
Qin An nodded: "I got it."
Liu Yi listened to their whispers and couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Everyone here was a master, and such whispers for them were no different from speaking out loud.
But since Lü Luo spoke, as a disciple, Liu Yi naturally dared not refuse.
Liu Yi helplessly cupped her fist and said, "Grandma once said that those of us who exterminate demons walk a path of nine deaths and one life. This experience has added to my life, allowing me to handle similar situations better in the future."
Qin An was slightly surprised.
It was the first time he saw a sincere expression of seeking advice on Liu Yi’s face.
Tiger Girl nudged Qin An’s arm again: "Don’t mind it, she’s pretending too."
Only then did Qin An notice a hint of a smile flash in Liu Yi’s eyes, as if she couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Lü Luo didn’t care if Liu Yi was pretending. With hands clasped behind her back, she circled around Qin An several times.
Qin An was chilled by Lü Luo’s gaze freezing his back and helplessly said: "Grandma, do you have something else to say?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Luo suddenly squinted and smiled.
"You, boy, fit Grandma’s intentions well. You always guess what’s on Grandma’s mind, and this time you showed quite some talent. How about Grandma goes to find Jin Fengyu and asks him to give you to me?"
Without looking askance, Qin An replied: "Everything depends on Mr. Jin’s arrangement. If Grandma can get his agreement, I’ll go back with Grandma."
Lü Luo pouted: "Forget it; you don’t take jokes well. If I go to find Jin Fengyu, he certainly won’t agree. I never do useless things."
After a slight pause, Lü Luo stopped in front of Qin An.
Her body was already smaller than Qin An’s, only reaching his shoulders, so standing in front of Qin An, she seemed somewhat delicate.
But those who knew Lü Luo’s experiences understood this appearance of frailty was the best disguise on her.
Underestimating Lü Luo would lead to great losses at the hands of this Mountain Patrol Golden General, possibly losing one’s life.
Qin An met Lü Luo’s gaze, unwavering, waiting for her next words.
Lü Luo withdrew her gaze, paused slightly, and turned, sweeping her eyes over Qin An and Liu Yi back and forth, then abruptly spoke: "Listen, the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill ends here, even if you encounter clues later, don’t delve deeply!"
Upon these words, both Qin An and Liu Yi frowned.
Liu Yi asked: "Grandma, this is extremely important. We have found many clues, and if we find some more, we can trace back to find more. Why shouldn’t we pursue it?"
Lü Luo said: "I didn’t say not to deal with it, just to brush it off casually, but don’t seek it out actively."
Qin An suddenly said: "Is this for our good, right?"
Lü Luo nodded: "Precisely. There are too many things involved here. I can only tell you that even Inner God Realm cultivation doesn’t qualify to know the clues."
Qin An rubbed his chin, nodded, and said: "Alright, we won’t be involved in this matter."
In fact, Qin An didn’t want to be involved either.
Right now, he only wants to return to the Evil Extermination Bureau, use the demonic essences and exploits to first train the professions of Butcher and Blacksmith to level fourteen, and then deduce the Cultivation Technique.
This way, he’d have a footing in the path of attack.
Liu Yi gritted her teeth, wanting to refute, but Lü Luo’s gaze was very calm, letting Liu Yi understand the master’s command was hard to defy, so she could only nod in agreement.
Lü Luo stretched lazily and patted Tiger Girl’s head: "I came this time sensing my disciple was in danger. Since the danger is lifted, you shall return with me."
This world has many mysterious means, and Lü Luo having a means to perceive Liu Yi’s danger is quite normal.
Liu Yi nodded lightly, agreed with a sound, and followed beside Lü Luo.
Lü Luo looked at Qin An, suddenly recalled something, and took out a still warm secret letter from her sleeve, handing it to Qin An.
"This is from Jin Fengyu to you, saying it’s extremely urgent."
