stab it into Tang Lingwei’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this strike landed, it would pierce through Tang Lingwei’s skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lingwei stared with rage burning in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She started from the grassroots, joined the Evil Extermination Bureau, wholly focused on strengthening her team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All for the purpose of slaying demons and exterminating evil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her childhood, her entire family was slaughtered by creatures, leaving hatred in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even amid the bureau’s intrigue and backstabbing for promising talents, Tang Lingwei persevered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet today, she was facing death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides anger, Tang Lingwei felt a ting of

together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the newly recruited Qin An, who hadn’t even enjoyed a benefit from the bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such thoughts, despair deepened in Tang Lingwei’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the taut root suddenly trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lingwei’s eyes widened, seeing a black blade descending from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, behind the black blade was a young man dressed in dark robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man had a stern face, eyes as calm as a lake, yet the blade he wielded sliced through the root like a furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lingwei gasped: \"Qin An?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never expected that Qin An had survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chased by a long-cultivated monkey demon at Body Perfection, yet still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then in Ding County, the young lord slain was strong, but merely elevated to Body Perfection through a secret technique, just a silver spear tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder monkey was a true Body Perfection, yet failed to kill Qin An?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her shock, Tang Lingwei saw Qin An toss something from his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lingwei instinctively reached out to catch it, a wave of pain coursing through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she saw what it was, she forgot the pain entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder monkey’s head drenched in blood, eyes wide, in death’s reluctance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He killed the monkey demon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lingwei’s face went blank, standing as if carved from wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A big foot shattered Tang Lingwei’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An kicked Tang Lingwei in the chest, sending her flying afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lingwei felt sharp pain throughout her body, and before she could react, she heard Qin An’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone retreat to a distance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can move, you live.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can’t, you die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, the severely injured state officials, unsure why, followed Qin An’s command, retreating to safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An, wielding the black blade, turned to the old tree: \"Try killing one for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dense roots all froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old tree spoke coldly: \"How did you discover it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An replied slowly: \"The further away, the weaker your roots’ power, and you’ve never moved, so your range is limited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old tree’s voice turned grim: \"So what, you can’t kill me, and by the time you reach the bureau and return, there will be nothing left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t imagined his weakness completely exposed to Qin An.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An brushed his finger over the black blade, eyes scanning the old tree: \"Why go back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old tree was slightly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Lingwei also looked at Qin An, puzzled by his intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin An raised the black blade, aiming at the old tree: \"Why not kill you instead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1308,"2026-06-03T03:46:00.935Z","2026-06-03T03:46:06.308Z",1,"novelbin.me","1e22a0222db3100dbe68957b451fc62a15464b679366d4fb1cf8ad6188b9def8","rise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-chapter-37","rise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-chapter-35",632,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frise-to-god-with-life-skill-professions-cover.jpg"]
