Letting You Practice Life Skills, You Cultivated Into Divine Positions

Zhao Jinsheng had been greedy, but he ended up being killed by himself and is now buried underground.

"How long does it take to get from the Yamen to the River Blade Sect?" Qin An tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Chen Chun instinctively replied, "If you had left last night, the night road is difficult, it would take about a day. He should be on his way back tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Chun realized something was wrong and looked sharply at Qin An.

"You mean to..."

Qin An, stroking his dagger, stood up and said, "Let's go. Today is a good day for killing."

The Yamen was full of hidden dangers, and Clerk Wang was a big problem. It was difficult to deal with him within the city.

Since he was out of the city, today was Qin An's time to act.

If he died outside, it would have nothing to do with him; it would purely be bad luck.

Chen Chun hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and followed Qin An out the door.

Deep in the night, with no moon.

Clear Spring River was less than ten li from the Yamen.

Clerk Wang, dressed in black, hurried towards the county town under the cover of night.

He had arrived at the River Blade Sect that morning and had detailed Qin An's affairs to them.

He had always been respectful to the River Blade Sect. Although the recent disappearances of their disciples had not been solved, Clerk Wang had paid substantial tribute.

Half of the money he had recently collected had gone into the hands of the River Blade Sect, temporarily appeasing Sect Leader Liu.

He was desperate, so he went alone to the River Blade Sect to seek help.

This trip, he had brought out all his family's wealth, only asking for help.

As for the matter of the missing disciples, he repeatedly assured them that they would definitely be found.

Sect Leader Liu, perhaps swayed by the money, told him to return to the Yamen with peace of mind and that they would deal with Qin An soon.

With a reassurance, Clerk Wang felt a little more settled and hurried back home through the night.

Ahead, the outline of Clear Spring River loomed, and the sound of gurgling water could be heard.

Once they crossed this river, they would not be far from Ding County.

There was a wooden bridge not far away, and Clerk Wang prepared to step onto it to cross quickly.

"Qin An, your death day is a few days from now."

As he walked, Clerk Wang thought to himself.

Sect Leader Liu was a master who had been at the Body Infusion Realm for a long time, unlike Second Master Eagle. Killing Qin An would be as easy as flipping his hand.

He felt that his good days were coming.

Just then, a splash of water suddenly erupted from the river, and a cold glint flashed.

Clerk Wang was fantasizing about Qin An's tragic death when, as the cold glint flashed, the hairs on his body stood on end.

Standing on the wooden bridge, looking down, Clerk Wang saw Chen Chun's face streaked with water, a long saber slashing towards his legs.

Although he was as fat as a pig, reaching the position of Clerk was not solely due to flattery.

In an instant, Clerk Wang circulated the Qi within his body, his palms turning as red as flames.

His Qi Concealment Realm perfected aura rapidly rose, and he pressed his bare palms against Chen Chun's long saber, emitting a clear ringing sound.

Under the impact of the reddened palms, the long saber actually bent slightly.

Clerk Wang then leaped off the wooden bridge, landing steadily on the ground, and narrowed his eyes: "Chen Chun, where is Qin An?"

He hadn't expected to be ambushed here, but luckily his reaction was quick enough to dodge the fatal blow.

The opponent hiding in the water was truly insidious.

But Clerk Wang scanned the surroundings and did not find Qin An's figure, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

Chen Chun stood in the water, a cold smile on his face: "Why would I need Qin An to kill you?"

Seeing this, Clerk Wang frowned and continued to survey the area.

He didn't know how Chen Chun got the news, but the area was indeed very open, and he couldn't find Qin An.

"You came alone, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Killing intent surged within Clerk Wang.

Chen Chun was an undercover agent of the Evil Extermination Division, making him even more of a threat than Qin An.

However, Chen Chun had been living at Qin An's house, so Clerk Wang hadn't found an opportunity to act and didn't dare to get too close to Qin An.

For some unknown reason, today only Chen Chun had come alone, and Clerk Wang's mind began to churn.

He was a cautious person, and he had already confirmed that Chen Chun was alone.

Since the other party had come to court death, why not take this opportunity to eliminate Chen Chun first?

After eliminating him, he would just wait for Sect Leader Liu to kill Qin An, and Ding County would return to its old ways.

Clerk Wang's palms grew increasingly red. Before Chen Chun could speak, he lunged at him.

He had made up his mind: kill Chen Chun first.

Chen Chun was still standing in the water. Seeing Clerk Wang charge at him, panic flickered in his eyes.

Clerk Wang noticed this flicker of panic and knew his guess was correct. The smugness on his face grew.

The Clear Spring River wasn't wide, and the spot where Chen Chun stood wasn't deep; the water only reached his waist.

As Clerk Wang stepped into the water, he unleashed a palm strike that churned up a wave, obscuring Chen Chun's vision.

After the wave surged, Clerk Wang's hands plunged through the water, aiming directly for Chen Chun's chest.

Just then, Chen Chun, who had appeared terrified, suddenly changed his expression, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Upon catching Chen Chun's expression, Clerk Wang's heart skipped a beat. He felt a sense of unease.

Water splashed violently behind him, and the sharp sound of wind filled the air. Clerk Wang cursed inwardly, I've fallen into their trap.

Before he could even turn around, he felt a sharp pain in his back. Looking down, he saw the gleaming tip of a dagger protruding from his chest, still slick with blood.

"Qin An!"

Clerk Wang spat out a mouthful of blood and turned his head to look.

Behind him, Qin An's clothes were adorned with water droplets, falling like pearls onto the river's surface, creating ripples.

Qin An gripped Clerk Wang's neck with one hand, and with his right, he pushed the dagger deeper.

Blood foamed at Clerk Wang's lips. He said in disbelief, "I'm only at the Qi Concealment Realm, you had to ambush me?"

When the dagger pierced his back, he knew he was doomed.

But he couldn't understand.

Why would Qin An, who was only at the Body Infusion Realm, be so treacherous?

First, he used Chen Chun as bait, making me think Chen Chun was alone and inciting my desire to kill him.

In reality, Qin An had been hiding in the water, waiting for me to enter before launching his attack.

Why!

Why did he still act so cautious!

Qin An's dagger was the only reply to Clerk Wang.

Qin An pulled the dagger free and, with a sweep from left to right, sliced across Clerk Wang's neck.

Qin An held the severed head in his hand. Blood dripped from the wound onto the river, dyeing the water red.

Chen Chun watched this scene, especially seeing Qin An in his black attire, holding a head in his left hand and a dagger in his right. A chill ran down his spine.

He's gotten stronger again.

A thought surfaced in Chen Chun's mind.

Chen Chun could clearly feel the icy and fiery energies emanating from the dagger, enough to instantly kill Clerk Wang.

Chen Chun let out a wry smile. "Why so cautious?"

Just like Clerk Wang's confusion, Chen Chun was also puzzled.

With Qin An's strength, he could have killed Clerk Wang instantly. Today's events seemed overly cautious.

Qin An dropped the head and said, "I was afraid I wouldn't be able to catch him."

Couldn't catch him?

Chen Chun became even more confused.

Qin An offered no explanation and began searching Clerk Wang's corpse.

Besides a few taels of silver, Qin An found a cultivation method on Clerk Wang. The cover bore the words "Blazing Palm."
