Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 442 - 432: Battle Against Purple Lotus

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a gigantic stone was thrown into a calm lake, immediately stirring up monstrous waves.

The enormous body of the pseudo-god of the illusionary bordello trembled violently, and terrifying evil qi spread here in an instant like a surging sea of flames.

At the same time, the two alluring women guarding the door suddenly changed their expressions, becoming as stiff as wood.

But their eyes did nothing to conceal the murderous intent towards Qin An.

The woman on the left spoke leisurely, filled with endless hatred, "Since you are here, please come into the bordello for a chat."

As soon as the words fell, Qin An frowned deeply.

He held the Cold Star Saber at an angle, lightly tapping its hilt with his fingertips, feeling familiar with its sound as if he had heard it somewhere before.

But on careful reflection, he couldn’t quite remember at the moment.

Just as Qin An was pondering this, the door of the bordello suddenly burst open.

The two vacant-faced women turned into two wisps of blue smoke and vanished.

Qin An squinted his eyes, looking at the suddenly opened bordello and the scene around, completely sealed by evil qi. He then started circulating the Nine-Colored True Essence within his body.

In the next instant, the Eight Extremes Dharma Image formed behind him, exuding a solemn yet eerie aura.

Qin An, driving the Eight Extremes Dharma Image, walked towards the bordello in front of him.

The voice just now had seemed familiar, yet he couldn’t recall it, but he could tell from the tone that it seemed to have been directed at him.

Now Qin An must find Long Tian Xing quickly; he had no intention of wasting time.

Since the opponent was after him, even if he wanted to bypass this place, the opposition would likely intercept him again.

Since that is the case, Qin An thought he might as well go in and take a look.

If worse comes to worst, he would smash the bordello’s pseudo-god to pieces with his saber.

At the moment Qin An stepped into the bordello, a strong scent of cosmetics immediately hit him, carrying a fragrance that felt oppressive.

Then, Qin An saw the bordello’s splendor.

Every end of the pavilion was covered with lightly draped women, and on the railings of the third floor, enchanting figures leaned over the balustrade, looking at him with seductive eyes.

Not only that, but many Jianghu people loitered around the place.

Some were embracing women and whispering sweet nothings, while others sat alone at tables drinking strong liquor.

Some Jianghu people entered the rooms, and soon debauched sounds echoed out, making faces turn red.

Qin An surveyed his surroundings.

In his line of sight, nothing around him could hide from his view.

Although everything before him was filled with an air of decadence and debauchery, it was intertwined with endless evil qi.

All the scenes here were false, all condensed by the pseudo-god’s evil qi.

To Qin An, it felt even more pungent and vile.

While thinking so, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly sounded.

Qin An’s gaze followed the sound and saw a hunchbacked procuress striding quickly towards him.

The procuress had a faintly mocking smile on her face. When she came before Qin An, she raised her hand and said, "Sir, please follow me, the lady has been waiting for you for some time, please come and meet her."

Qin An’s lips curled upwards slightly, and he suddenly said, "Playing tricks, all nonsense, wasting my time."

As soon as the words fell, a cold gleam flashed.

The Cold Star Saber slashed the procuress from bottom to top.

The procuress’s body instantly split in two, disappearing within the bordello.

Qin An from strike to sheathing his saber, took only an instant.

The previously lively scene suddenly froze, the flaunting bodies, dazzling veils, and the debauched sounds all stopped instantly.

Subsequently, whether those Jianghu people or the endlessly enchanting women, they all focused their gazes on Qin An.

Those gazes seemed to carry a hint of resentment.

Qin An stood there holding his blade, calmly saying, "You must be acquainted with me, otherwise, you wouldn’t show me such resentful expressions, and from the recent exchange, you seem to be targeting me, but I am puzzled, when did I meet you?"

He had never encountered the pseudo-god of the bordello, but the opponent spoke with a tone as if they already knew him.

Initially, he thought this pseudo-god of the bordello was controlled by the black-robed pseudo-god, but now the feeling was completely different.

As Qin An uttered these words, those staring at him all spoke at once.

The voices were mixed, indistinguishable between male and female, causing an annoying and unsettling feeling in the ears.

"Ah, ah, ah, so impressive, truly a Mountain Patrol Golden General of the Evil Extermination Bureau, Mr. Qin who excels in both saber and fist, indeed has a poor memory; how long has it been, and you don’t recognize me. Back then, you were looking at me in the coffin for a long while and even fought me fiercely."

Coffin? Fought fiercely?

On hearing these words, Qin An suddenly showed a look of realization.

"Ah, I see. You are that black-robed pseudo-god’s paramour. Looks like you’re not thoroughly dead yet. Today you come to see me, which must be the black-robed pseudo-god’s doing, does he really want my head?"

With that explanation just now, combined with that familiar feeling earlier, Qin An was becoming increasingly clear about the pseudo-god’s identity.

He didn’t know how the other person became the pseudo-god of the bordello, but he was very certain that the black-robed pseudo-god was definitely behind all this.

And now that woman found him through the bordello pseudo-god, besides wanting his life, Qin An couldn’t imagine another scenario.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin An fell silent, the pseudo-god of the bordello began to act strangely.

Those vacant-eyed people all opened their mouths, their voices carrying an irresistible evil qi: "Qin An, today is the day you die and fall into oblivion, give me your head."

"Give me your head!"

"Give me your head!"

The three repeated phrases, with each sentence’s pitch higher than the previous, carried a chilling coldness that made one’s heart tremble.

In these words, those people turned into ashes flying all over the sky.

Amidst the air, the ashes steadily gathered, and ultimately formed a woman clad in a purple robe.

The woman was sensuous, her figure alluring, and at this moment she was suspended in mid-air, staring coldly at Qin An, as if she intended to consume him alive.

"In our previous battle, I didn’t reveal my name, but today you are about to die, so I’ll tell you what my name is; I am called Purple Lotus, a pseudo-god of the Void Shattering Realm, only because I was severely wounded, I fell to the Unity Realm."

"Today, I will fight you with the cultivation at the Perfection of the Unity Realm. Let me see if I, at the Perfection of the Unity Realm with Void Shattering underpinnings, can decapitate the head of Mr. Qin, who is renowned for both saber and fist!"

With every sentence, Purple Lotus’s aura intensified, and the terrifying Array Power surged around, surrounding Purple Lotus completely.

Each Array could make experts in the Unity Realm tremble with fear, and some could even annihilate those just entering the Unity Realm.

Upon feeling the pressure as overwhelming as a mountain, Qin An remained expressionless, his gaze calm and steady on Purple Lotus.

Feeling Qin An’s gaze, Purple Lotus gritted her teeth and said, "Good, I like your stare, but I wonder if after I take your head, you will still look at me like that."

"Don’t worry, I will dig out your eyes and preserve them in the best way for hundreds or even thousands of years. I will slowly observe them, slowly play with them, until I tire of them, then I’ll place your eyes on a dog!"

The venomous words carried a nauseating aura.

Qin An calmly replied, "Oh."

Just the simple word ’Oh’ infuriated Purple Lotus to the extreme.

"What gives you the right to be so calm? How dare you disdain me like this?"

"I am the one who once slew a True Dragon!"

"Come on." Qin An raised the Cold Star Saber, speaking lightly, "What’s the use of all this nonsense? Many words won’t help you kill me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin An vanished from his spot using the Eight Extremes Dragon Roar Shadow Step.

When he reappeared, he was in front of Purple Lotus, slashing vertically from above with Cold Star.

The power of Three Blades Unite was channeled into the saber’s blade by Qin An.

The Nine-Colored True Essence appeared on the blade of the Cold Star Saber, exuding an aura as though it could tear apart heaven and earth.

This strike, even a seasoned Unity Realm master would not dare to take lightly.

Purple Lotus’s expression changed upon feeling the power of Qin An’s strike, raising both palms to attack Qin An’s chest.

The right palm carried terrifying Array Power, seemingly about to bore a bloody hole in Qin An’s chest.

The left hand blocked Cold Star, countless arrays forming a barrier to fend off Qin An’s strike.

"Boom!"

The terrifying explosion sound abruptly echoed, with the Array gathered at Purple Lotus’s left hand shattered by Qin An’s slash.

The left arm dissolved into nothingness.

The dark Dharma Image on Qin An’s body shattered into countless fragments.

Purple Lotus’s palm struck heavily on Qin An’s chest.

Qin An flew backward, with his black robe at the chest completely torn apart, landing firmly on the ground.

Purple Lotus looked bewildered at her right hand’s terrifying array, not understanding why her palm, which should have broken Qin An’s Defense, was ineffective.

With her left arm empty and desolate, Purple Lotus reacted in an instant, with arrays uniting to rapidly restore her left arm.

Only then did she look at Qin An, showing astonishment on her face, "What an excellent soft armor, you actually possess such a treasure."

The shattered black robe revealed a soft armor gleaming with light.

Qin An stood up with his saber, dusting off the fragments of his clothes on his chest, saying lightly, "I never thought the power of Three Blades Unite couldn’t kill you in one strike."

In that strike just now, Qin An had already used the Secret Technique of Three Blades Unite.

Although it wounded one of Purple Lotus’s arms, she instantly recovered as if nothing happened.

This time, Qin An felt like he had truly met a match, and couldn’t help feeling a sense of excitement.

Purple Lotus also detected the excitement in Qin An’s tone, scoffing, "Your strength and potential are exemplary, even in Xunyang Prefecture, you would be considered outstanding, but unfortunately, today you are in this brothel."

"The Pseudo-God of the brothel has hosted too many Jianghu people in the remnants of the Ancient Battlefield; each was an elite of this world, each possessing Secret Techniques."

"And as long as I’m in this brothel, I have infinite lives, able to recover without limit until this brothel turns to ash."

"But you can’t."

"To completely defeat me, you would have to erase all those who once frequented the brothel."

"But by the time you could defeat them, you’d already be dead!"

She didn’t mind the words she uttered, for during the fight just now, she also realized that Qin An had no other means to kill her.

Yet she could wear Qin An down with the supreme underpinnings of this brothel’s Pseudo-God.

This was her jest before slaying her prey.

Once, when she slaughtered those Jianghu people and massacred civilians, she did the same.

She desired to see the look of fear in Qin An’s eyes.

But sometimes imagination is crueler than reality.

Qin An merely smiled gently, "Is that so?"

Just those two words left Purple Lotus frozen.

Then, a surge of fiery rage flickered in Purple Lotus’s heart.

She opened her arms, with countless Array Power gathering at her fingertips.

"What I dislike the most is your indifferent attitude as if you’ve humiliated me!"

"Today, I will make you die in agony!"

She was like a cornered beast, unable to hide the fierce evil aura.

She pointed simply at Qin An, yet it harnessed countless arrays, becoming the most formidable attack in her arsenal.

Seeing this finger pointing at him, Qin An suddenly raised his hand and slapped the ground.

Suddenly, an array combining attack, defense, and various effects formed abruptly, gathering in Qin An’s left fist.

Eight Extremes Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand!

Qin An, without hesitation, burned a divine soul, fiercely striking back at Purple Lotus’s finger.

Now he had reached Great Success of Unity Realm, and with supreme underpinnings, this punch not only burned a demon soul but also incorporated an array.

"Boom!"

A terrifying explosion resounded, with the aftermath carrying debris, surging into the sky...
