Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1236: Played



Chapter 1236: Played

The young man stared at the great furnace and a stunned expression crossed his face, eventually turning into one of burning heat. He turned his head, his eyes falling on Qin Yu. Then, he said, “Since you want to die, I will help you.”

Combining the power of light and darkness, relying on the moment Lian Yi made his breakthrough and when his Saint’s path wasn’t steady, and then forcing him to suffer a backlash from the heavens and earth and dying from it. This was currently Qin Yu’s most glorious record, but in the eyes of a Saint it wasn’t worth mentioning at all.

Moreover, at this moment the Light and Darkness Domain had broken. Qin Yu was nothing but a piece of meat on the chopping block and he could do as he pleased.

Originally, this should have been easy. But, the cards Qin Yu had in his hand were completely incongruous to his cultivation boundary.

So even if he was a piece of meat on the chopping block, he was a piece of meat that had been frozen for countless years and had become harder than stone.

Cutting it however he wanted wasn’t realistic. And if he wasn’t careful, there was a chance that his knife would break. And in this analogy, a Saint’s knife was certainly the sharpest kind in the world.

If time could flow backwards, the young man swore he would use his full strength and wouldn’t underestimate Qin Yu’s power. But what a pity, he didn’t grasp the Time Laws, and even if he did, he wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this.

Sometimes, something might seem ridiculous and inconceivable, but the truth was that it was doomed to be that way from the very beginning.

The young man pointed a finger.

Although it was just a finger, the strength that burst out from this finger was enough to crush most cultivators beneath a Saint. Against a vicious snake like Qin Yu, it was more than enough to kill him.

Strictly speaking, he wasn’t being careless. It was just that the power Qin Yu possessed wasn’t something that could be measured on a normal scale. So, what greeted this finger was a translucent bead, with two peach blossoms rotating around each other inside it.

When Peachy slapped her forehead twice, forcing two phantoms out of her body, this was what had appeared when they fused together.

Before, she had broken her phantom to help Qin Yu resist the strike of a Saint. Now that she used two, it was inevitable that this bead would be stronger.

Although he had expected this, the moment it exploded, Qin Yu discovered he had underestimated the little bead’s might. This was no longer one plus one equals two, but a much greater number, one so great that it was completely unexpected.

For instance, the young man who was angered and anxious, who thought to himself that Qin Yu was nothing but meat on the cutting block, would be able to give him such a surprise.

As the bead shattered, the two peach blossoms were annihilated at the same time. Then, the power they released submerged the young man!

To perish together, bringing the enemy down to hell with them!

It was barbaric and cruel!

To a Saint, the intensity of this strength was a bit dangerous but not too serious. What was terrifying about it was that its formidable destructive attributes could even cause damage to a Saint.

This was the scariest part!

If the young man was in his peak state, he might not have feared this. But in order to hurry up and recover, he had used his Great Dao to restrain his injuries. This originally damaged his Great Dao, and now with the power of these peach blossoms striking him, it was the same as adding injuries on top of injury!

Of course, even if it was an injury on top of an injury, it was still far from reaching a point where it could cut off his Great Dao. But, the reason the young man was willing to take the risks to work with the Scholartree Saint to plot against the Spring Master was naturally because he had steep ambitions.

His goal was to pass through the Sea of Bitterness and reach the other shore, becoming a True Saint of the vast brightness…even going beyond that, taking another step forward and peeping at the Ruler’s path!

After all, to Saints who stood near the peak of the world, it wasn’t too big a secret that there was a missing Ruler.

If he had such ambitions, he naturally couldn’t tolerate his Great Dao being injured. This was not only because it would take a massive amount of time to recover, but also because it might possibly affect his future cultivation.

This wasn’t good!

So, the young man would rather his main body suffer more damage than to allow his Great Dao to be harmed. The most direct and visible result of this was that he was left in an extremely pitiful and miserable state.

It was a truly miserable state.

His body was covered in wounds. Corroded with destructive strength, large boils and sores appeared on him, ripping through his skin.

If a person didn’t see this with their own eyes, who would believe that a solemn Saint could end up like this just from chasing down two juniors?

But now, after Qin Yu’s initial surprise, his complexion became ugly, even if he knew that the stronger Peachy’s bead was, the higher the chances of killing a Saint.

Because the stronger the bead was, the higher the price Peachy must have paid for it.

She absolutely didn’t have the strength to threaten a powerful Saint by herself. But now she had slapped her forehead twice and achieved this sight in front of her…although it appeared simple, it was impossible for things to be so easy.

Qin Yu thought of how Peachy changed and his heart grew heavier. Then, his eyes turned colder as he glared at the Saint. If they hadn’t been hunted down, Peachy wouldn’t have needed to go all-out, and she wouldn’t have had to pay this unknown yet serious price.

After being covered by Qin Yu’s icy gaze, the young man’s annoyance reached the peak. These two little ants had forced a solemn Saint into such a miserable position and still dared to look at him like this?

What qualifications do you have? And why do you dare to do what you’ve done?

Kill him! He had to kill him!

Immediately! Now!

The young man’s eyes were chilling, killing intent surging like the tide.

And at this time, Qin Yu’s thoughts were roughly the same.

The difference was that while the young man wanted to kill Qin Yu, he had to wait a little bit for the power of the bead to fade away.

But Qin Yu didn’t wait, nor did he want to wait. He turned his hand and a light flashed. Another bead appeared.

Even though the young man’s heart was flooded with killing intent, his eyes flew open. To cause a Saint to suffer losses, even impacting their Great Dao, such weapons could be called terrifying.

For someone who wasn’t a Saint to put out one such bead was already astonishing, but now there was a second.

He had misjudged!

The young man began to feel regret. He thought he should have killed Qin Yu first.

But thinking about these things was meaningless now. As said before, he didn’t have the means to reverse time.

Seeing Qin Yu’s roaring killing intent as he threw out the second bead, the miserable-looking young man roared out loud.

Thump –

Thump –

Within his chest, his heartbeat rapidly accelerated. It was like a certain key junction had been opened and boundless blood energy suddenly erupted.

Pa –

Pa –

The rotting flesh on the young man’s body instantly burst apart, turning into rich red blood energy that wrapped around him.

This was one of the methods he had prepared to cross the Sea of Bitterness in the future. Before it had matured, he had detonated it ahead of time.

There was a huge gap in power between what it was like now and what it could be like in the future, but there was no issue using it to resist the second bead.

Within the blood energy, the young man’s eyes grew increasingly cold. It wasn’t easy to obtain this method, and after using it, it was impossible to reform.

In other words, the chances of him reaching the other shore had been reduced a little because of Qin Yu.

Even if it was a tiny, almost imperceptible amount, perhaps this could be the difference between failure and success in the future. Through the long and endless river of time, there was never a lack of Half-Saints who failed to reach the other shore and were corroded into nothingness by the Sea of Bitterness.

The young man was well aware of all of this. His anger raged. If looks could kill, Qin Yu would have become ashes already.

Two beads in a row? I want to see just how many cards you have left. Once you fall into my hands, I will have you regret ever being born!

But soon, the young man no longer had such thoughts. His eyes widened with shock and anger.

He had been played again!

The two beads were completely similar in appearance, even in aura. But in fact, they were entirely different things.

It had nothing to do with being a fake, because it was even more terrifying. It released a power that dove straight to the soul, tearing everything to shreds.

Because of his misjudgment, the blood energy he erupted with was all wasted. The young man was endlessly depressed by this, but soon could no longer attend to his emotions.

Because the power that dove into his soul and exploded was too terrifying. So terrifying that even a solemn Saint’s soul was unable to resist it.

In other words, he felt an intense sense of threat. It was like the world had darkened, leaving him unable to catch his breath.

This was likely…the flavor of death.

The young man was incredulous. He had actually been forced into such a situation by a junior.

But it wasn’t important how absurd it was. The important thing was that this was reality, and there was a chance he would be torn to pieces and die here.

Of course, killing a Saint definitely wasn’t that simple. The young man was forced to this step because he was withstanding everything with his body and didn’t want his Great Dao to be harmed.

But in this current situation, this idea no longer worked. It was difficult to accept his Great Dao being injured, but it was much better than being killed.
