Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 509 - 498: Interception and Slaughter Blocked
In the spacious room, the sound of a teacup being knocked over was exceedingly clear, causing the Fox Girl who entered to deliver a message to shiver involuntarily.
She could feel that in an instant, Hu Yan’Er exuded a terrifyingly perfect cultivation of the Void Shattering Realm.
This cultivation was like a monstrous tidal wave that spread through the entire room, making the Fox Girl feel fearful as cold sweat appeared on her forehead uncontrollably.
The Void Shattering Realm, each minor realm within it was like a mountain.
Those who surpassed this mountain and those who had not were as different as heaven and earth.
Moreover, this Fox Girl who came to deliver the message was only at the Small Success of the Shattering Void Realm. Upon feeling the pressure of perfection, she almost couldn’t hold on and nearly collapsed to the ground.
"My lady, this little demon can barely endure it," the Fox Girl said through gritted teeth, her face pale and trembling with fear.
Hu Yan’Er came to her senses, her brows furrowing slightly as she waved her hand to gather all the aura she exuded, then slapped the table.
The table instantly shattered into countless pieces that shot out in all directions.
"What exactly happened? Speak the truth!"
The Fox Girl was frightened by Hu Yan’Er’s slap, feeling an even greater chill in her heart, yet she forced herself to calm down. After organizing her words, she began to recount everything one by one.
"Half-demons, it’s the half-demons. They’ve allied with the Evil Extermination Bureau and attacked those shops outside that conspired with the Fox Demons and Pseudo-Gods. It seems they had planned it all along, and in an instant, they wiped out half of the shops. This is a warning from the Evil Extermination Bureau to us!"
The Fox Girl watched Hu Yan’Er’s face as she spoke.
She saw Hu Yan’Er’s expression turning increasingly grim, with a growing sense of unease spreading in her heart.
Hu Yan’Er took a deep breath and sneered, "So that’s how it is. What a clever maneuver to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The person from the forge pavilion who came to deliver the message must have been a fake, and the batch of Fox Girls we were diverted with was surely led into a trap."
The Fox Girl below tentatively asked, "Then what should we do now?"
Hu Yan’Er waved her hand, saying, "Immediately send a message to that group of Fox Girls, telling them to rush back to the auction house. I will personally lead the team to completely annihilate this group of half-demons and Tong Daoshuai from the Evil Extermination Bureau."
The Fox Girl spoke softly, "But if we do this, it will be tantamount to declaring war on the Evil Extermination Bureau."
"Do you think we have any other choice if we don’t go to war?" Hu Yan’Er sneered, "If it is indeed as you say, and they have already arrived, then they know about the auction house as well. They know about the collusion between the auction house and those shops."
"If that’s the case, once they finish settling accounts with those shops, naturally, someone from the Evil Extermination Bureau will come to settle accounts with the auction house. And since I am currently hosting the auction, if that happens, the Fox Race will definitely be blacklisted by the Evil Extermination Bureau."
"We only have this one path now."
The Fox Girl swallowed nervously, "I will go handle it immediately, but if we kill the people from the Evil Extermination Bureau and the half-demons, how will we find a way out for ourselves?"
Hu Yan’Er sneered, "Of course, we will take away all the resources from the shops that were wiped out, then return to the Fox Race. Once we hand over these vast resources to the leader, we will naturally be richly rewarded, and our lives will be spared."
Upon hearing this, the Fox Girl weighed the options in her mind, finally understanding Hu Yan’Er’s meaning.
In this Black Market, they were actually executing a long-term plan, acquiring a large amount of resources steadily from the Black Market.
But now, the Evil Extermination Bureau had extended its reach here, proving that their plan was completely disrupted.
Not to mention steady gains, they wouldn’t even be able to escape when the Evil Extermination Bureau settles accounts later.
In that case, might as well take the resources from these shops back to the Fox Race’s territory, where these resources would ensure their protection and even enhance their standing within the Fox Race.
The Fox Girl immediately left the room to carry out Hu Yan’Er’s instructions.
Meanwhile, Hu Yan’Er returned to her chair, her expression growing increasingly somber.
...
In front of a shop, Hu Fen’er looked at the empty scene before her, frowning deeply.
After receiving Hu Yan’Er’s order, they had brought a large group of Fox Girls to the forge pavilion’s shop, intending to support the forge pavilion.
And conveniently capture the group of troublemaking half-demons to sell for a high price.
But unexpectedly, when Hu Fen’er led a large group of Fox Girls here, the entire forge pavilion was empty.
Moreover, there was a faint scent of blood inside the forge pavilion.
"What on earth is going on?" Hu Fen’er observed the surrounding walls, her eyes filled with growing confusion.
"Search! Search thoroughly! See what this shop has!"
As her words fell, the hundreds of Fox Girls behind her silently dispersed, searching every corner of the forge pavilion.
Hu Fen’er waited where she stood.
After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, a scream suddenly came from the backyard of the forge pavilion shop.
Hu Fen’er immediately snapped back to her senses and quickly made her way to the backyard of the forge pavilion shop.
The backyard was spacious, but as soon as Hu Fen’er stepped in, she was hit by a nauseating stench of blood.
They were all from the demon race, so before becoming demons, they lived by consuming raw flesh and blood, easily identifying the source of the bloody smell.
At this moment, several Fox Girls were digging into the hard ground in the corner of the yard.
In just a few breaths, several large pits were dug out of the yard.
Then, bodies were lifted from the pits by the Fox Girls.
When Hu Fen’er saw the bodies in the pits, her pupils contracted slightly.
"These are the people of the forge pavilion. How did they die here, and why were they deliberately buried?"
Hu Fen’er took a few steps forward to inspect the bodies, her eyes suddenly turning sharp.
The Fox Girl beside her cautiously said, "My lady, there’s something suspicious about this matter. We should return to the auction house immediately and talk it over."
Hearing this, Hu Fen’er put her thoughts aside, stood up, and said, "Alright, let’s return to the auction house at once."
Everything today was filled with a strange and mysterious aura. She felt like an invisible dark hand was controlling the entire situation in the Black Market.
But the true identity of this mastermind was shrouded in a fog that she couldn’t clearly see through.
The situation was becoming increasingly precarious, so she planned to return to the auction house and discuss it with Hu Yan’Er first.
Soon, Hu Fen’er led numerous fox demons out of the Forging Pavilion.
As they were preparing to head to the Auction House, a fox girl hurriedly arrived.
Hu Fen’er recognized this fox girl; she was a personal demon kept by Hu Yan’Er’s side.
Seeing her approach at this moment, Hu Fen’er immediately felt a sense of unease.
The fox girl rushed forward and said loudly before Hu Fen’er could speak, "My lady, it’s bad! The Evil Extermination Bureau and the Half-Demon Alliance are slaughtering the Black Market’s shops. Lady Hu Yan’Er is worried about the Auction House being affected and asked you to quickly return there!"
Hu Fen’er was taken aback. After piecing all the clues together, she immediately understood the opponent’s intent and quickly said, "Head to the Auction House with all your strength; don’t let even the slightest mishap occur there!"
The numerous fox demons nodded in unison, then followed Hu Fen’er, rushing towards the Auction House.
...
From the Forging Pavilion to the Auction House was quite a distance, and to return there would take at least the time of burning an incense stick.
Up ahead were intertangled alleyways, and Hu Fen’er chose the shortest path possible.
Seeing that they were getting closer to the Auction House, suddenly, a chilling wind sound arose.
Unease immediately spread through Hu Fen’er’s heart. Looking up, she saw a large number of people from the Evil Extermination Bureau dressed in black descending from the sky, attacking the group of fox demons with lightning speed.
These fox girls were focused on rushing forward, naturally letting their guard down, and coupled with Tong Daoshuai’s ambush from the Evil Extermination Bureau, half of the fox girls were killed in just a few seconds.
Witnessing this, Hu Fen’er shouted angrily, "How dare you!"
She quickly turned to attack a Tong Daoshuai at the Realm of Small Success in the Shattering Void Realm, her claws suddenly extending, with layers of black smoke wrapping around them, seemingly able to corrode anything.
She knew they had fallen into the Evil Extermination Bureau’s plot, with ambushes along the way, intending to intercept and eliminate them, reducing the support for Hu Yan’Er’s side.
Having fallen into the opponent’s trap, they might as well destroy the enemy here.
The Tong Daoshuai fighting two fox demons sensed a strong breeze from behind and looked up to see Hu Fen’er, at the Realm of Great Success in the Shattering Void Realm, approaching.
Tong Daoshuai was startled, quickly wielding his weapon to push away the two fox demons, preparing to battle Hu Fen’er.
But at that moment, a sharp wind sound suddenly arose.
Both Tong Daoshuai and Hu Fen’er were slightly startled.
Turning their heads, Hu Fen’er saw a straight blade enveloped in nine-colored Void Essence slicing horizontally towards her.
The nine-colored Void Essence on the straight blade seemed capable of breaking anything, causing a sudden chill in Hu Fen’er’s heart.
A sense of life-and-death crisis gradually spread through Hu Fen’er’s heart.
Looking closely, she noticed a young Tong Daoshuai from the Evil Extermination Bureau with only initial mastery of the Void Shattering Realm.
Hu Fen’er couldn’t comprehend why a Tong Daoshuai at initial mastery of the Void Shattering Realm would make her feel such a life-and-death crisis.
But she understood that if she didn’t act, she might truly die.
Hu Fen’er shouted furiously, "A mere initial mastery of the Void Shattering Realm dares to attack me; you’re courting death! Let me show you the might of my fox girl avatar!"
Behind Hu Fen’er, a phantom emerged, transforming into a giant female figure.
The woman’s figure was graceful and alluring; upon appearing, she raised her massive palm, pressing down towards the straight blade.
Hu Fen’er was very confident.
Her move was a Secret Technique, and the phantom behind her was called the fox girl avatar, enhancing her strength by a tier.
This palm strike, even against cultivators of the same level, required caution.
But in the next moment, Hu Fen’er’s confidence shattered instantly.
She saw the disdainful smile at the young man’s mouth, felt the terrifying power suddenly emanating from the straight blade.
Three blades united.
Under the unity of three blades, the fox girl avatar behind Hu Fen’er shattered instantly, while the straight blade enveloped in nine-colored Void Essence seemingly capable of destroying everything, fiercely pierced into her chest.
Hu Fen’er’s eyes were wide open, blood splattering.
She struggled to speak, but the straight blade piercing her lung allowed only hissing sounds.
At this moment, she saw the smile at the young man’s lips, her heart filled with infinite terror. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
But before she could make another move, the nine-colored Void Essence on the straight blade exploded.
The exploding nine-colored Void Essence destroyed all her internal organs.
Hu Fen’er felt pain enveloping her body, then lost consciousness.
Qin An withdrew the straight blade, excavated the demon spirit from Hu Fen’er’s body, and attacked the next fox girl.
The battle continued to expand at a visible pace.
The Evil Extermination Bureau had long taken the upper hand, and the group of fox girls were like defeated warriors, easily slain by Tong Daoshuai from the Evil Extermination Bureau.
The scene was a mess.
Qin An pocketed the few demon spirits he harvested and glanced at Zheng Rou, nodding slightly.
Zheng Rou wiped the blood off her face, shaking off the blood on her ribbon, and upon feeling Qin An’s gaze, responded with a reassuring smile.
Earlier, Qin An saw Zheng Rou’s skills, indeed enough to match the position of Tong Daoshuai.
If Zheng Rou’s disposition improved a bit, Qin An believed she would surely make a mark within the Evil Extermination Bureau in the future.
The other Tong Daoshuai rested briefly, then turned their gaze to Qin An.
They were awaiting Qin An’s next command.
Qin An glanced towards the Auction House’s location and waved his hand, "Move out!"
