Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 393 - 383: Arrows, Enemy Attack

The yard was silent, you could hear a pin drop.

When Wu Ning’s eyes slightly moved, everyone present simultaneously turned their gaze towards Wu Lin.

"This is the rhythm of awakening."

Zhou Yuanfeng’s heart was slightly excited.

Since they learned of the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill, they have been tirelessly searching for clues regarding this matter.

Unfortunately, despite extensive verification, they still couldn’t find a single trace to follow.

They all knew that the Mountain Patrol Golden General was in control behind this matter, making it as difficult as ascending to heaven to find clues.

But this person Qin An brought back became their only chance to find a clue.

Thus, when Wu Ning was about to wake up, everyone who knew the inner details became tense.

Qin An slightly clenched his five fingers and grasped the Cold Star at his waist, not displaying excessive excitement like other Jin Mansion Generals.

The more critical the moment, the more vigilance is required; before things are settled, everything remains an unknown factor.

Therefore, besides displaying calmness, Qin An maintained a sense of vigilance towards the surroundings.

...

At this moment, a hillside dozens of miles away from Xunyang Prefecture was packed with dense crowds.

The combined number of these people was extremely daunting, and the aura emanating from each, even the weakest, was of the Outer Elixir Realm.

At the peak of this hillside, a young man in white sat on a chair, gazing towards the direction of Xunyang Prefecture.

The young man in white had a calm expression, but the aura emitted from his body was as heavy as a mountain.

If one carefully senses, they would discover that the young man in white actually possessed the strength of the Half-Step Unity Realm.

Surrounding the young man in white was a large group of Jianghu people dressed in various styles, roughly numbering around a hundred or so.

Among them, about ten individuals had the strength of Inner God Realm Perfection.

No matter where this force is placed, it would be enough to instill fear within the hearts in Xunyang Prefecture.

From among the ten Inner God Realm Perfection experts emerged a robust man, looking up at the white-clothed youth.

"Senior Fang, there’s a fluctuation in the divine soul, the plan has failed, Wu Ning is about to wake up, should we quickly implement the next plan?"

Fang Yun leaned against the chair, his gaze calmly sweeping towards the robust man, nodding as he said: "Implement."

His tone carried an aura as calm as water.

Even though this man known as Fang Yun was much younger than the robust man, everyone present was very respectful, addressing him as senior.

As Fang Yun said this, several Inner God Realm Perfection experts stepped out of the crowd, reaching into their sleeves.

Then, each of them pulled out an item and hurled it into the sky.

These items varied in length and size.

However, after they threw these items into the sky, bursts of True Essence erupted sharply from these oddly shaped objects.

It was as if there was an invisible thread stringing all the thrown objects together.

Soon after, a magical scene unfolded.

These oddly shaped items, under the influence of True Essence, gradually assembled, ultimately forming an exceptionally large crossbow machine.

If inspected closely, one would notice a faint evil Qi lingering on the crossbow machine.

Upon seeing this enormous crossbow machine, Fang Yun’s lips slightly curled: "As expected of Mechanical Skill, and it is indeed the strongest force in the field of mechanical skill in Xunyang Prefecture, this seems to be in the bag."

After speaking, Fang Yun pulled out a shaft of arrows from his sleeve.

The arrow shaft was as long as a forearm at most, and its appearance instantly caused everyone present to reveal expressions of fear.

Anyone knowledgeable would know where this arrow came from.

Xunyang Prefecture has several mechanical sects, but the strongest mechanical sect, the Mystery Gate, has long vanished.

In the Mystery Gate, there is a treasure known as the Enigma Crossbow.

It’s said that the Enigma Crossbow can take lives from extremely far away, with unpredictable power.

Later, many mechanical forces used their knowledge to replicate the Enigma Crossbow.

But unfortunately, the replicated Enigma Crossbows didn’t have as much power as the original.

Subsequently, numerous mechanical forces began researching to find out the reason.

After about ten years of research, they finally found out why it wasn’t as powerful as the original.

This was because although the Mystery Gate’s Enigma Crossbow was good, it lacked the arrows for launching.

It is absolutely impossible to create a launching arrow because it is Secret Technique of the Mystery Gate.

Everyone looked at the arrow in Fang Yun’s hand, knowing it was refined by the Mystery Gate’s Secret Technique.

As for how they obtained it, they all knew clearly in their hearts.

The master behind Fang Yun possessed vast power, finding such an arrow is not a difficult task.

Fang Yun slowly walked to the front of the crossbow machine and placed the arrow shaft on it, speaking lightly: "The Enigma Crossbow is mystical because it can gather the power of many people to unleash unimaginable power; today we shall use it to shoot down Wu Ning."

Once he finished speaking, Fang Yun also pulled out a piece of jade from his bosom and placed it in the indentation on the crossbow machine.

As soon as the jade was placed in the indentation, the crossbow machine vibrated violently, then gradually calmed down.

Fang Yun raised his hand and tapped on the jade, turning his head, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, transfer True Essence to me."

The numerous Jianghu people nodded collectively, operating the True Essence within their bodies, airborne towards Fang Yun’s back.

Receiving such an amount of True Essence, Fang Yun’s body paused slightly, revealing a pale expression.

Yet he didn’t stop, gritting his teeth and pouring all the True Essence into the jade.

With the influx of True Essence, in just a few breaths, the jade became as bright as daylight, illuminating the entire hillside.

Once the jade was lit, the crossbow machine began trembling visibly.

As the crossbow machine trembled, the arrow shaft resting on it seemed ready to be launched at any moment.

After about two breaths, Fang Yun shouted.

"Good! Stop!"

Everyone hurriedly ceased their actions.

At this time, a tinge of blue and white appeared on Fang Yun’s face.

He suddenly raised his hand, placing it on the trigger of the crossbow machine, he pulled it forcefully.

As the crossbow machine was pulled, the bolt shot out swiftly towards the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Fang Yun took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it.

In the next moment, the consumed True Essence was quickly replenished.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!"

Fang Yun turned his head, revealing a trace of cold killing intent: "Wu Ning is about to die; next we shall perform the Divine Soul Reversal Formation, lure the souls of Qin An and others into the formation and kill them!"

Everyone collectively nodded, then stood in a specific order, invoking the Power of Divine Soul within their bodies.

The power of the Divine Soul surged skyward, and a mysterious grand formation gradually took shape.

...

Evil Extermination Bureau.

Wu Ning weakly opened his eyes, his dry lips slightly opened and closed, as if trying to speak.

Zhou Yuanfeng saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, grabbing Wu Ning’s collar: "Quickly speak, who is the mastermind behind all this?"

Wu Ning’s eyes flashed with a trace of fear upon seeing Zhou Yuanfeng, but he quickly suppressed it.

Though his body was weak, he still had the ability to speak.

Wu Ning opened his mouth and said weakly, "The mastermind behind it is..."

Before he could finish, a piercing sound suddenly erupted.

The Jin Mansion Generals listening to Wu Ning immediately reacted, turning their heads to look towards the dark end.

At the dark end, a crossbow bolt was tearing through the night sky, carrying immense might, shooting straight for Wu Ning.

At first, it was only the size of a grain of rice, but in the blink of an eye, the distance closed rapidly.

The terrifying killing intent locked onto Wu Ning; even if Wu Ning wanted to flee, he would be pursued by this arrow.

The crowd realized this and shouted, "There’s an assassin!"

With that said, including Zhou Yuanfeng and Tang Zizhen, the many Jin Mansion Generals utilized their secret techniques to strike full force at the arrow in the air, attempting to intercept it.

Each Jin Mansion General had the cultivation of Inner God Realm, and their combined attack could destroy a large area.

However, when the attack landed on the arrow, the arrow didn’t move at all, and the attack instead vanished instantly without a trace.

The arrow’s momentum was unabated, rushing forward faster, seemingly about to reach the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Zhou Yuanfeng and the others showed a look of despair on their faces.

They could already imagine what the opponent’s intention was.

Obviously, they wanted to silence someone.

But now, even if they pooled their strength, they still could not stop the arrow’s attack.

Wu Ning’s life was surely in danger.

Just as despair filled everyone’s hearts, Qin An suddenly drew the Cold Star from his waist.

The cold light was fierce, like a mountain wind howling.

The seven-colored True Essence surged like the sea.

Qin An, without hesitation, used the Seven-Star Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber.

He knew things would go wrong, but he never expected it to be so severe.

This arrow’s might had already reached the half-step Unity Realm, and because it was poised to strike, its speed and power of attack vaguely surpassed the Pseudo-God Qin An once battled.

This saber strike gathered the force of Qin An’s Three Blades Unite.

He didn’t want the captured target to be silenced; Cold Star carried infinite might, and the seven-colored True Essence collided with the arrow.

"Boom!"

A massive roar rang out.

The angle of the arrow slightly shifted, but Qin An was propelled back several steps by the impact.

Seeing the arrow about to pierce Wu Ning’s chest, his eyes showed a trace of despair as he slowly closed his eyes.

He knew Qin An’s strength was formidable, but the arrow’s power was even stronger, impossible to block.

Thus, he was acutely aware that his death was only a matter of time.

However, just as despair gripped Wu Ning’s heart, he suddenly noticed an eerie tranquility around him.

Wu Ning instinctively opened his eyes, saw the astonished expressions of the surrounding Jin Mansion Generals, and felt a surge of doubt in his heart.

"What are they surprised about?" Wu Ning instinctively looked up and immediately opened his mouth wide, gulping, his eyes full of shock not any less than those Jin Mansion Generals.

Not far ahead, Qin An had already sheathed his saber and simultaneously reached out towards the arrow with both hands.

Seven-Star Blood-Burning Demon-Sealing Hand!

Qin An now had thirty Orc cognitions; he didn’t hesitate to burn ten of them, unleashing the power of Qi Blood to the fullest, gripping the flying arrow fiercely.

The arrow carried biting killing intent and infinite power, trying to repel Qin An.

Such force, even Inner God Realm Perfection would be crippled trying to hold the arrow.

But Qin An was different.

A translucent avatar appeared around Qin An, with seven kinds of True Essence flowing within, enveloping his entire body.

The arrow shattered the outer layer of the avatar.

Follow-up layers were supplemented continuously.

At this moment, Qin An stood in the courtyard, his robe billowing, holding the arrow as if he were a giant standing between heaven and earth.

Zhou Yuanfeng swallowed, his face full of incredulous expression.

Tang Zizhen’s eyes widened, a bitter feeling spreading through her body.

The other Jin Mansion Generals stood in the same spot like blocks of wood, unable to respond for a long time.

At this moment, Qin An slowly began to speak.

"A very curious attack; you won’t die, but you’ll suffer some injury."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present showed astonished expressions.

Before finishing his words, Qin An suddenly channeled the power of Qi Blood throughout his body and launched a counterattack.

The arrow in front was quickly crushed by Qin An, but the shattered pieces bypassed Qin An and landed on Wu Ning.

Blood flowers sprouted all over Wu Ning’s body, causing him to let out a miserable cry before passing out.

Qin An stood with his saber sheathed, shaking his head slightly.

He discovered that the arrow was still linked with the power of Divine Soul.

Even though he crushed the arrow into pieces, it still attacked Wu Ning.

He could only make the arrow shatter more thoroughly to minimize the harm to Wu Ning.

Zhou Yuanfeng saw this finally coming around, quickly stepping to Wu Ning’s side.

After checking for a moment, Zhou Yuanfeng let out a long sigh of relief.

"Although he is injured, he is not dead; he only needs some recovery time to wake up again."

With that, he looked at Qin An with a trace of reverence in his eyes.

Under such an attack, Qin An was still able to avert disaster, truly unbelievable.

Qin An was about to speak, but at that moment, an anomaly suddenly appeared.

A light appeared in the distant darkness, and then Qin An and the present Jin Mansion Generals felt a pulling sensation from the depths of their souls...
