Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1190 – Brother Qin, Rest in Peace

Space shook and two figures emerged out of thin air. action

Ruan Jing’s eyes flashed with burning heat. He smiled and said, “Brother Qin, we meet again.”

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Yun Shi and his pupils shrank.

“This miss has woken back up. Does that mean you’ve killed the disgusting baldy Flare Wind?”

Ruan Jing already knew that Yun Shi came from the Ash Flame Lineage. A life needed to be sacrificed to save hers!

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, “That’s right.”

There was some disturbance in the eyes of the others.

After swallowing some human beads, Flare Wind’s strength stood at the top echelon of those in this courtyard. That was a fact recognized by all.

But now, he had died beneath Qin Yu’s hand. This made them dread him even more.

Ruan Jing clapped his hands and laughed, “Brother Qin really is an expert at taking advantage of the situation. But unfortunately, I happened to sense an aura that belonged to the Ash Flame Lineage not too long ago. If I’m right, Flare Wind must have been engaged in battle with someone else.”

He took a step forward and a wild breeze blew past, scattering the fog and revealing two sets of tattered robes on the ground.

“Haha, it really is true. I never thought that Flare Wind would die in such an aggrieved manner. He must be feeling deep resentment in the underworld.” Ruan Jing looked over, “Brother Qin is actually quite lucky!”

After concluding that Flare Wind’s death was a result of being picked off by a third party, everyone relaxed a little.

Qin Yu had a calm expression, not looking flustered at all about having been seen through. “My luck has always been good. Ruan Jing, if you want you can test it out yourself. We can see who will die here today!”

Ruan Jing laughed out loud, “Brother Qin must be joking. From the very first time I met you, I have never underestimated your strength.” As he spoke, his smile brightened further, “So, to express how highly I regard Brother Qin, since I have prepared to kill you, of course we will be joining forces to do so.”

Qin Yu said, “It really is rare to see someone with facial skin so thick.”

Ruan Jing nodded, “I thank Brother Qin for the praise.”

The Thunder Dominion cultivator stood to the side, a mocking look in his eyes. The Dominion Master was right. Disregarding their cultivation for now, those cultivators that came out of Guiding Chapter Academy had a skin thickness that was absolutely phenomenal.

However…this Qin Yu was quite calm.

The Thunder Dominion cultivator looked at Qin Yu. Even though Qin Yu was surrounded right now and he was clearly going to fall into a dangerous situation with almost no chance of survival, he didn’t reveal any panic at all.

This was certainly an act. Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for a normal person to maintain such a controlled appearance. But then again, to pretend to be so calm in this situation, that in itself already wasn’t simple.

As the Thunder Dominion cultivator thought of this, he couldn’t help but feel some appreciation. He thought that if he had a chance, he would give Qin Yu a quick and happy death to prevent him from suffering anymore.

That’s right, appreciation was just appreciation; the Thunder Dominion cultivator didn’t favor Qin Yu’s fate. He glanced around. Right now, including Ruan Jing, none of the cultivators gathered here were easy to deal with.

He himself might not be afraid of fighting one against one, but if it was two against one he could only allow himself to be passively beaten up. If he was up against three of them, he could only flee in distress.

Yet now, Qin Yu faced a total of seven people. The strength that they could erupt with together would even allow them to fend off a Half-Saint step existence for a few moments.

“Since we’re here, let’s begin!” A cultivator shouted out, his icy eyes locked onto Qin Yu.

Because of the Space Laws, Qin Yu was absolutely the most popular cultivator in the mystic realm this time.

When the secret of the human bead was revealed to the public, all of them imagined how wonderful it would be if they could kill Qin Yu.

And now, the opportunity had appeared before them!

Ruan Jing smiled and cupped his hands together, “Brother Qin, please rest in peace.”

Bang –

Bang –

Wild strength instantly erupted, tearing the fog apart. It was like dams breaking apart, and rivers surging forward with enough momentum to drown the world!

Qin Yu’s body tightened. His eyes instantly turned dark like the deepest night, without a single impurity.

A thick darkness as rich as ink flooded out from his body, spreading in all directions…it was like a giant mouth, capable of swallowing all.

The attacks of the seven people crashed into the darkness. The darkness fiercely tumbled, inflating a dozen times over before it was forcibly torn apart by a wild strength.

Qin Yu fell to his knees, blood gushing from his nose and mouth. Countless cracks had opened up over his body, spewing out blood.

In an instant, his black robes were dyed red!

Drip –

Drip –

Drip –

Blood fell from the corners of his robes, splashing to the ground.

Qin Yu had a miserable appearance. But when the seven saw him, their complexions became even more dignified and their eyes filled with admiration.

It had to be known that the darkness that had erupted just now had resisted the attacks of seven people. Just surviving was already astonishing.

If it were any of them…even though they didn’t want to admit it, the truth was that none of them had the assurance that they could live through that.

Ruan Jing was startled. He rejoiced at the fact that he didn’t recklessly attack Qin Yu on that day, otherwise he likely would have been the one to die.

But in today’s situation, no matter how strong Qin Yu was, he could not escape the fate of death!

“Big Brother Qin!” Yun Shi cried out loud, her face pale and blood flowing from the edges of her lips. Although Qin Yu had stood in front of her, the shockwaves from the terrifying collision of strength had still injured her.

Her anxious hands constantly moved over Qin Yu’s body and soon turned red. Yet, she couldn’t stop the blood gushing out from him.

Qin Yu coughed with difficulty. His face paled even further as more blood spilled out. “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

He spoke calmly, but there was no credibility to his words.

Yun Shi’s tears intensified. She shook her head and grabbed tightly onto Qin Yu.

It was unknown whether he had bled too much blood, causing him to fall into a weakened state, but Qin Yu felt that Yun Shi’s arms were too tight, so tight that it made it difficult to breath

Qin Yu started to cough again. He raised a hand and patted Yun Shi’s hand, motioning for her to let go.

But before he could say anything, Yun Shi abruptly let go and retreated, as if she couldn’t get away fast enough…he felt as if he was hugging a burning hot piece of iron!

Then, Qin Yu felt like his chest had caught fire, burning him to the point of shaking.

Pata –

The iron lump fell to the ground. The blood that stained it was absorbed into it. It constantly turned scarlet, as if it were made of flowing magma!

Qin Yu seemed to laugh and cry at the same time. At this moment he couldn’t care less about Yun Shi’s strange behavior. As he stared at the iron lump that was growing increasingly red, he never thought that he would commit such a low level mistake.

The scene in front of him was enough to explain everything. Activating the iron lump was actually simple – all he needed to do was pour blood on it.

The sad thing was that Qin Yu had spent so much energy over these days and had injected endless amounts of magic power into the iron lump, but all of his actions had been useless!

Hiss –

The poison fog in the air seemed to be burnt away by flames. With bursts of corrosion and muffled rings, the surrounding fog soon faded away.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were gathered on the crimson iron lump…of course, after being activated, continuing to call it this was a bit inappropriate.

Its initial appearance was the same as before. In fact, as it became increasingly red, it was even uglier. But its appearance didn’t affect anyone’s senses at all.

Because in the world of cultivation, everything was illusory. Only power reigned supreme!

And the iron lump was releasing a terrifying aura that left everyone wallowing in despair.

This was true terror!

It was like an erupting volcano, like the heavens falling down. The world would fall into catastrophe and everything would be destroyed.

Whether it was Ruan Jing, the Thunder Dominion cultivator, or any of the other cultivators, all of them froze in place as unconstrained fear gushed out of their hearts and appeared in their eyes.

Qin Yu coughed several more times, hacking out some bloody phlegm. He wiped away the blood and sat down, looking at the people around him. “Who else wants to kill me?”

No one spoke!

Ruan Jing, who had been so talkative and loquacious at the start, kept his mouth tightly shut and didn’t say another word. What nonsense, in this situation he wished he could find a hole to dig into and run away as far as he could!

How would continuing to provoke Qin Yu be any different from courting death?

Mm…there might be a difference. There were many ways of courting death, and the majority would end up with a person’s corpse still intact.

But if Qin Yu were to hit one of them with this iron lump, their entire body would instantly vaporize into nothingness.

There wouldn’t even be ashes left!

This taste must be extremely sour…but Ruan Jing vowed he had no intention of experiencing it.

Gulp –

It was unknown who gulped, but in this quiet atmosphere, it was especially clear. But the good news was that everyone feared death, so no one would laugh at him.

“Cough!” The Thunder Dominion cultivator squeezed out a smile, “Fellow daoist Qin, today is simply a misunderstanding…”

After saying that, he couldn’t come up with anything else to add.

At this moment, Zhou Lei felt some more admiration towards Ruan Jing. That man could switch faces with a snap of his fingers, but this was too difficult for him.

It was clear that being thick-skinned was also a survival skill!

“Right, right, this is all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding! The poison fog injured our souls, leading us to be a bit confused and tempted. That’s the only reason we attacked Brother Qin. I must ask Brother Qin to forgive us!”

A cultivator said with a face full of guilt. His eyes and expression were incomparable. One could see his shame and remorse with a single glance.

Thunder Dominion’s Zhou Lei was amazed. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. It wasn’t just people from Guiding Chapter Academy who were shameless. Many other cultivators were the same.

No wonder the Dominion Master rarely came out in these past years and also instructed them to avoid contact with outside cultivators as much as possible.

Zhou Lei believed that he was one of the brighter and more intelligent cultivators from the Thunder Dominion. If someone else came in his stead, they might have been tricked to their own death without knowing what happened.
