Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 459 - 348: Ambushed, Situ Shen Arrives

As soon as these words were spoken, two stones emitting a crystalline luster were tossed over by Bai Lingfeng.

Qin An was slightly taken aback, subconsciously catching the two stones. Looking at the stones in his palm, he revealed a trace of delight.

"Are these Shattered Void Stones?"

These two Shattered Void Stones can forge the supreme potential of the Void Shattering Realm, each piece extremely precious outside.

He has already collected two pieces and refined two supreme potentials, and now he was given two more. If he refines these two, he’d only have two Shattered Void Stones left, allowing him to enter the Void Shattering Realm with supreme posture.

Qin An truly didn’t expect such a small encounter could instantly close such a large gap for him.

However, looking at the two Shattered Void Stones, Qin An also had a thought.

"Are you trying to delineate boundaries with me?" Qin An suddenly spoke.

He asked this not without reason.

He had allowed Bai Lingfeng to regain life, yet Bai Lingfeng was eager to toss him two Shattered Void Stones.

These Shattered Void Stones are very precious, enough to offset the favor this time. It shows Bai Lingfeng doesn’t want much entanglement with him and just wishes to settle the favor so he can be unburdened and free henceforth.

Bai Lingfeng did not conceal this, and directly stated, "You’re right, the causality between us ends here. You saved me, and I repaid the favor. From now on, no one owes the other."

Qin An thought for a moment, then drew the two Shattered Void Stones into his body with special True Essence.

The next moment, the supreme potential within his body increased by two more strands, now just two Shattered Void Stones away from the supreme potential of the Void Shattering Realm.

Bai Lingfeng hadn’t expected Qin An would so straightforwardly absorb the Shattered Void Stones, asking, "Do you not feel regret?"

Qin An shook his head, "I feel no regret, and it’s what I need. Given to me by you, I naturally accept it."

"So you don’t want to have any connection with me?" Bai Lingfeng asked again, "With your potential and intelligence, you surely know I have high status above, and a connection with me guarantees better outcomes."

Qin An shook his head, "You don’t want a connection with me, so no connection is needed. If I force it, it would only displease you, and waiting for you to repay the favor might make you despise me. It’s better to take the favor now, at least ensuring some goodwill from you."

Upon hearing this, Bai Lingfeng laughed heartily, "Good, knowing the situation. You, boy, indeed make me see you in a new light. But it’s a pity, very few can step out of Xunyang Prefecture, only those with exceptional talent can. If you step out, you would indeed be someone."

Qin An spoke no further, then looked around at the bewildering white mist, "Given the circumstances, I bid you farewell."

He was unwilling to stay longer, for remaining would only waste time.

Bai Lingfeng nodded slightly, ceasing his chatter, then waved his sleeves, causing the white mist to vanish like ice meeting fire, quickly without trace.

Before Qin An could react, Bai Lingfeng’s figure flickered and disappeared from the place.

He arrived quickly and departed swiftly, leaving not a single word.

Qin An squinted, "Seems like all above people are like this, but it’s quite normal."

He could sense from Bai Lingfeng’s words, though Bai Lingfeng appeared to admire him, there was still a sense of high-handedness within.

Thinking about it, it’s understandable.

The so-called Unity Realm is as uncountable as sand above.

Thus someone like Bai Lingfeng facing him, who’s in the Unity Realm, not taking him seriously is quite usual.

After understanding this, Qin An pulled out the map to carefully discern his location.

Subsequently, Qin An’s face showed surprise.

"Unexpectedly transported to the ruins of the Ancient Battlefield managed by the Black Robe Pseudo-God. Getting out might be arduous and extremely dangerous."

"Now the Black Robe Pseudo-God should sense me."

Keeping this in mind, Qin An pondered briefly, then chose a direction, swiftly heading towards it.

The direction he headed was where Jin Fengyu and others had occupied the Ancient Battlefield ruins.

...

At the moment, inside a cave mansion.

The Black Robe Pseudo-God sat alone on the throne, looking at the empty cave mansion, without any change between his brows, akin to a calm lake.

Recently, the battlefield situation kept changing, Situ Shen and the sect leader were sent out for dominance.

And the previous plot to kill Qin An first is still in planning.

At least, it must wait until the opponent reaches the Yin Wind Gorge’s position, when he can find a way to move Qin An to the gorge and arrange the sect leader and Situ Shen there.

"Consistent retreat, yet precisely what I need." The Black Robe Pseudo-God observed the retreating battlefield without any anxiety, showing a smile as if his ulterior motives had succeeded.

The method of cultivating Divine Sense has much more power than those who don’t.

Logically, such consistent retreat should not happen.

The reason it does is due to the Black Robe Pseudo-God’s deliberate actions.

He’s not trying to make the enemy lower their guard, in fact, he knows they would suspect due to the retreats, but he continued regardless.

"Only through constant retreats will the control over the Ancient Battlefield ruins weaken, allowing then to implement my final plan and eliminate you all at once."

The Ancient Battlefield ruins gradually lost control with his retreats.

Yet the Black Robe Pseudo-God remained unrushed.

He had a grand plan, aiming to annihilate the opponent by relying on it.

Otherwise, with this tug-of-war, changes are likely to occur.

His plan is progressing smoothly now.

Feeling the exhilaration from this, the Black Robe Pseudo-God became elated.

But at this moment, his expression suddenly froze.

Immediately, his eyes flashed with surprise.

"Something’s wrong, this is Qin An’s aura. Why is he inexplicably at my location?"

The Black Robe Pseudo-God abruptly stood up, his previously calm demeanor vanished instantly.

"Oh well, you’ve arrived, then don’t plan to leave. Just seize this chance to kill you here!"

Having calmed his emotions just now, the delight in his eyes grew stronger.

He initially thought it would take much longer to eliminate Qin An but didn’t expect Qin An to come here.

Upon these thoughts, the black-robed pseudo-god immediately took out a piece of jade stone from his bosom.

As soon as the jade stone was retrieved, it emitted a radiant glow.

Two figures then appeared in the void.

Situ Shen frowned.

The Lord stood beside him with an equally puzzled expression.

The two were currently overseeing the battle, creating a facade of retreat as per the black-robed pseudo-god’s instructions.

Though they didn’t understand the reason, they followed the black-robed pseudo-god’s orders.

Unexpectedly, at this crucial moment, they were summoned by the black-robed pseudo-god.

The black-robed pseudo-god coldly stated, "The person you want to kill has arrived."

With these words, whether it was Situ Shen or the Lord, their faces displayed astonishment.

The Lord reacted, murderous aura gathering in his eyes: "Are you referring to that little beast, Qin An?"

The black-robed pseudo-god nodded and said, "That’s right, it’s Qin An. He has arrived here. You need to return quickly and head to Yin Wind Gorge to eliminate him."

Situ Shen clenched his fists tightly, showing excitement on his face: "So it is, I’ve waited for this moment for a long time. Now let’s set off towards Yin Wind Gorge."

The black-robed pseudo-god nodded: "I will use the ancient battlefield relics to accelerate you, allowing you to reach Yin Wind Gorge within half a day. The moment you arrive, I will utilize my control over the ancient battlefield relics to pull Qin An into them."

The two nodded slightly, saying no more.

The black-robed pseudo-god waved his sleeve, and the image in midair vanished.

"It’s a pity that for the ultimate battle, I cannot temporarily leave this place."

The black-robed pseudo-god sighed, then looked down at his feet.

Underneath his feet were countless strands of evil qi, intertwining and connecting as if holding him firmly within the cave estate.

Only he could see this.

It was because he needed to fully prepare for the final plan.

Soon, the cave became silent, and the black-robed pseudo-god sat on the throne, closing his eyes in contemplation.

...

At this moment, Qin An was running within the ancient battlefield relics.

This side of the ancient battlefield relics differed from the other half, as nauseating evil qi surged everywhere.

What puzzled Qin An was that he had been running for half a day, yet the black-robed pseudo-god had not appeared to hinder him—he hadn’t even heard a whisper.

Logically, since he was already marked on their must-kill list, even in the heat of battle, the black-robed pseudo-god would not have allowed him such ease.

After pondering, Qin An reached one conclusion.

"The calmer it seems, the more danger there is."

This meant the black-robed pseudo-god was plotting something big for him.

"At ten times the speed, I estimate it will take a few more days to reach Jin Fengyu’s camp. But it will certainly be a bit troublesome since I must find a way to break through the encirclement."

He was essentially traversing from the enemy’s camp to his own.

Upon reaching the borders, a battle was inevitable.

Qin An was in no rush, planning to handle it upon arrival.

But at this moment, an anomaly abruptly emerged.

Qin An only felt his vision blur, followed by the evil qi around him seemingly guided, surrounding him tightly.

Simultaneously, he felt as if an invisible giant hand was pulling him, dragging him towards a certain place.

Moreover, this pulling force was accompanied by the rules of the ancient battlefield relics, which even Qin An could not resist.

The surrounding scenery was rapidly retreating at a visibly fast pace.

Qin An, focused and determined, drew his Cold Star and squinted his eyes: "Seems the peace has finally ended and it’s about to start."

He knew this was surely the black-robed pseudo-god’s doing.

The opponent finally couldn’t hold back and wanted to make a move against him.

However, at this moment Qin An was somewhat excited.

He was curious to see what means the opponent would employ.

In this manner, as he was rapidly pulled, Qin An saw the outline of a gorge appearing ahead.

The gorge should have been bathed in sunlight, but now numerous dark clouds shrouded it, preventing sunlight from penetrating.

These dark clouds were formed by condensed evil qi, emitting a sickening stench.

The entire gorge appeared on its surface like a giant mouth, about to swallow everything intending to enter.

Before Qin An could react, the enormous force already dragged him down to the depths of the gorge.

At this moment, a gust of yin wind blew, carrying a bone-chilling chill.

Qin An’s expression changed slightly, then quickly activated the Nine-Turn Dharma Form.

A golden Dharma Form enveloped his body, resisting the blows of the yin wind.

"What a powerful yin wind, it can strip flesh and True Essence, even Divine Sense. This place is not simple."

If he hadn’t reacted swiftly, activating the Nine-Turn Dharma Form at the fastest speed, he might have been injured.

Just as he was thinking this, steady footsteps sounded ahead.

Qin An looked up, seeing two figures slowly appearing at the end of the gorge.

"Clang!"

The Cold Star scraped against the ground, sparking a burst of embers.

Qin An stroked the Cold Star’s blade with a hand, his voice becoming extremely frigid.

"Having come personally, you must be here to claim my head. It seems today, this battle can’t end peacefully."
