Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1227A – Die With Me

…

Qin Yu was worried.

Lian Yi changed his mind, no longer admitting defeat and instead choosing to take the final step into the Sea of Bitterness. His goal had been achieved and he should have been happy about this, but when he thought about the two True Saint auras that had suddenly appeared in the hall and vanished just as quickly, he couldn’t help but sigh at how the world was ever-changing.

It could be said that…this person had to have his father accompany him whenever he went out. He was simply shameless!

The logic was simple. Just now, Lian Yi was filled with anger and hate, but no matter how unwilling he was he could only lower his head and admit defeat. But in an instant, he completely changed faces. If it was said that this was unrelated to the True Saint that suddenly made a move, Qin Yu wouldn’t have believed it.

And it wasn’t like True Saints were cabbages that were sold on the side of the street either. Based on this, if Lian Yi casually met one and no longer hesitated to step into the Sea of Bitterness, the only one who could convince him to do so was the one who was as famous as the Spring Master – the Scholartree Saint.

Qin Yu didn’t have the time to worry about why the Scholartree Saint suddenly interfered, not even hesitating to enrage the Dragon Saint and drag him somewhere else. But the Scholartree Saint’s goal was simple. He was trying to stall for time for Lian Yi so he could kill Qin Yu with his Saint realm cultivation.

As a result, Qin Yu’s worries only lasted for a short time before he was shrouded by an ice-cold killing intent.

The question right now wasn’t whether or not Qin Yu should kill Lian Yi. Rather, after Lian Yi became a Saint, his strength skyrocketed and he would never give Qin Yu a chance to live.

In other words, whether Qin Yu tried to kill Lian Yi or not, Lian Yi would not let him off. So what was there to hesitate about?

Moreover, the instant Lian Yi stepped into the Sea of Bitterness was also his weakest moment. If Qin Yu missed out on this opportunity, then even if he wanted to kill him he wouldn’t have the chance anymore.

By grasping the Light and Dark Body and condensing the Light and Darkness Domain, it was true that Qin Yu’s strength had risen. But he wasn’t arrogant to the point where he believed he could slay a Saint in a frontal battle.

So he had to make his move now!

The Dragon Saint had been dragged away by the Scholartree Saint, pulled into another plane. This was to give Lian Yi time to kill Qin Yu. But looking at this from another angle, it also meant that no one could stop Qin Yu from killing Lian Yi.

As for whether the Scholartree Saint would try to take revenge after he killed Lian Yi, it was useless to think about these things right now. So…first he would kill Lian Yi and then he would think about it again!

This interpretation was complicated, but the fact was that it all happened in Qin Yu’s mind in the blink of an eye. He looked up, locking eyes with Lian Yi who had stepped into the Sea of Bitterness and become a Saint. There was no fear or horror, only ice-cold resolve!

Refining a Saint’s might could destroy Lian Yu’s Great Dao. But from the start, Qin Yu had been thinking about killing him, so ruining his Great Dao wasn’t his true goal.

The Saint’s might had been damaged inside the Light and Darkness Domain. But at that time, Lian Yi hadn’t yet become a Saint and he couldn’t clearly sense the Saint’s might that he borrowed. So while he was injured, he didn’t notice the power of light and darkness seeping into it.

Besides this, there was also another point that came from the surprise of Old Turtle.

Originally, Qin Yu hesitated in using Old Turtle’s power. After all, nothing could hide in front of a True Saint. If he was detected, there would be a disturbance.

But now the Scholartree Saint was entangled with the Dragon Saint and they had both left the hall, meaning that this hidden danger was erased. Qin Yu no longer had any scruples and forced Old Turtle to get to work, enlarging this surprise by several times.

If Lian Yi still didn’t die here, then there was no justice!

As Qin Yu was preparing his killing move to send Lian Yi home, Peachy fiercely stood up and shouted, “Stop!” As her voice fell, her brilliant eyes stared at Qin Yu and she said, “Hurry and admit defeat!”

The moment Lian Yi stepped into the Sea of Bitterness, the Saint’s path had condensed on its own. Lian Yi could feel his soaring boundaries as well as the rapidly rising strength within his body. There were some shocks and instability, and this was caused by the fact that he had previously sealed himself but still forcibly borrowed the might of a Saint.

Luckily, this wasn’t a big problem. He only needed a short period of time to suppress it.

Of course, completely eliminating it wasn’t this simple. But what he had in the future was time. He could slowly erase all these hidden dangers then, a little at a time.

He would need about several breaths of time to stabilize his aura.

He had made up his mind to kill Qin Yu, but this didn’t prevent him from wanting Qin Yu to experience even greater helplessness and despair.

For instance, giving him renewed hope and then having him welcome death in the next moment.

Doing this would certainly enrage the Spring Master, but so what? He had already become a Saint. He might not be able to compare to a True Saint, but maintaining his life wouldn’t be difficult.

Crossing the sea and reaching the other shore were the differences within a boundary. Although the gap was large, it wasn’t large to the point where he couldn’t offer any resistance.

His lips curved up in a smile. Lian Yi slowly said, “You should listen to junior-apprentice sister Peachy’s words. Junior-apprentice brother Qin, are you still not going to admit defeat?”

Qin Yu coldly sneered, “Senior-apprentice brother Lian Yi hopes for me to admit defeat and then beg for mercy in front of you. You want to give me false hope to live before personally crushing it all to pieces. I’m sorry to say but I am not blind and my brain is easy to use, unlike yours. I can only leave senior-apprentice brother disappointed.”

Peachy stepped forward, “Shut up! Lian Yi, I admit defeat for Qin Yu, let him go!” She moved and wanted to fly into the Light and Darkness Domain. But Lian Yi simply flicked his sleeves, sealing off the surrounding space and shaking her backwards.

“Junior-apprentice sister Peachy, Qin Yu is right. Today, I never had any intention of letting him live. The more nervous you are, the more he must die.” Lian Yi’s look was cold and cruel. The aura of a Saint flooded out from his body like a tide, sweeping in all directions, “Junior-apprentice brother Qin Yu, you have a clever tongue, but for us cultivators, strength is forever supreme…I hope you can remember this in your next life.”

He lifted a hand and pushed forward.

The Light and Darkness Domain instantly distorted. Countless cracks appeared on it as blood spurted out from the orifices of Qin Yu’s head. Even so, his eyes remained calm and dense.

This was his first time facing the strike of a genuine Saint. Although this Saint had just stepped into the Sea of Bitterness, they were undoubtedly powerful.

This was far stronger than Qin Yu imagined!

But the strength of the Light and Darkness Domain wasn’t actually that bad. Qin Yu’s miserable appearance was mostly because of how terrifying a Saint’s might was, but some of it was because he was deliberately putting on a play.

To show his enemy his weakness and then take his life.

Now was the time!

Bang –

The Light and Darkness Domain loudly exploded. Lian Yi’s complexion changed because right now, countless motes of black and white light appeared around him. They flickered and fluctuated, their auras connecting into a formidable seal.

But this so-called formidable was only relative. To a Saint, it was something that could be broken with a wave of the hand.

“What insignificant tricks.” Lian Yi’s eyes were dense, but at this moment his expression changed again.

The seal of black and white lights around him didn’t even need to be scattered before they voluntarily collapsed.

The imprisoning strength around Lian Yi also vanished. But in the short period when this seal appeared and vanished, certain changes started to occur inside his body.

As if he had been touched by a medium, the backlash from the heavens and earth that he had just suppressed suddenly erupted. Like a spark of fire falling into a dried and withered prairie, in the blink of an eye an inferno appeared, the roaring flames seeming to burn him to ashes!

After stepping into the Sea of Bitterness, the Saint’s path that Lian Yi condensed under the backlash from the heavens and earth started to undergo a fierce turbulence while he lost control of his skyrocketing strength.

Pa –

Pa –

Cracks appeared over the surface of his body and wounds spread across him like a spider’s web. Blood gushed out, dyeing him red and giving him a gruesome appearance.

Lian Yi stared at Qin Yu, his eyes flooded with killing intent. He had stepped into the Sea of Bitterness, becoming a Saint who stood near the peak of the world. Yet even so, he had been forced into such a distressed state.

How hateful! How many methods did Qin Yu have!?

A backlash from the heavens and earth was terrifying, but Lian Yi was still a Saint. A backlash would not be able to kill him. But even if he didn’t die, that didn’t mean he would be without losses. The Great Dao he condensed would be damaged and it would take a long period of time to restore it.

There was even a chance it would create an unknown influence as he tried to reach the other shore!

When he became a Saint, he wanted to play with Qin Yu a little to relieve the hatred in his heart. Who knew that things would turn out like this?

Not killing him was one thing, but he had been fiercely bitten instead. After falling into such a state as a Saint, he had lost all face. Moreover, his damaged Great Dao from today would lead to endless troubles in the future.

How could Lian Yi not hate Qin Yu to the bone?

Die! Qin Yu had to die!

Cruelty raged in his heart as he used all his strength to suppress the backlash. Lian Yi glared at Qin Yu.

Soon, he would recover. Then no matter what the price was, he would erupt with his full strength and tear Qin Yu to shreds!

Qin Yu could feel the ice-cold look and killing intent in Lian Yi’s eyes. To be hated so deeply by a Saint, he should feel fear. But there was only tranquility in his eyes.

Because he would not give Lian Yi another chance to attack!

Taking a step forward, Qin Yu roared out loud, “Senior-apprentice brother Lian Yi, your thing…I’ll give it back to you!”
