Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1189

Chapter 1189: Found

Flare Wind’s battle began!

He had guessed that his opponent was strong, but he discovered that he had still underestimated him.

He was extremely strong!

This was the only label that Flare Wind could stick on his opponent right now.

He fought with all his strength, and although it looked as if he had the advantage, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of restlessness rising in his heart.

Soon, Flare Wind found the reason for that restlessness.

His opponent was calm!

Even though his opponent was at a disadvantage and almost suffered heavy losses from Flare Wind’s vicious assault, this unfamiliar cultivator’s expression didn’t change much from the start.

As if everything was within his grasp!

Flare Wind’s heart chilled. While he didn’t feel dread, he still maintained a certain vigilance in his attacks.

Soon, something happened that proved Flare Wind’s suspicions correct.

Bang –

After a close-range exchange, the unfamiliar cultivator raised his head and revealed a cold sneer.

Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a breath.

Strictly speaking, this was a kind of gas that was gray and moved like a living thing, shooting forward at an unbelievable speed.

Almost without giving Flare Wind any time to react, the gray gas flew between his eyebrows and drilled into his body.

The Ash Flame Lineage controlled the flames of the world. When they fought their enemies, their blood boiled. Although there were no visible flames around them, there was a barrier of scorching hot heat.

This barrier was a formidable defense.

But now, this high temperature barrier was meaningless in front of the gray gas. It was directly pierced through.

Flare Wind stiffened, as if he had fallen into a freezing lake. An extreme cold erupted inside him, almost causing his heart to stop.

Shock and anger flashed in his eyes!

If it could freeze a cultivator from the Ash Flame Lineage solid, this cold strength could be called terrifying.

The unfamiliar cultivator didn’t hesitate. He took a step forward and punched at Flare Wind’s head.

Take his life while he was down!

He certainly wouldn’t commit some mistake where all he did was talk and then eventually he had his boat flipped upside down. That sort of mistake only occurred in novels.

What nonsense was there to say? After killing this person he could say anything he wanted.

Pa –

Flesh and blood disintegrated, and Flare Wind’s bald head exploded into countless pieces. Red and white goo splashed out all around.

Then, his headless corpse toppled backwards!

The unfamiliar cultivator let out a breath of relief, excitement in his eyes. As he stared at Flare Wind’s headless corpse, his eyes started to glow with heat.

What attracted them was likely the relationship between him and Flare Wind.

Whatever Flare Wind had felt before, that was approximately what the unfamiliar cultivator was feeling.

As a result, the two people wanted to kill the other and then swallow the human bead they formed.

Now, it seemed he had been the superior player. He seized the right moment, using his trump card to kill Flare Wind where he stood.

If it weren’t for the extreme cold energy within his stomach being able to restrain the power of fire, then killing this Ash Flame Lineage powerhouse wouldn’t have been easy.

But luck was also a part of one’s abilities. He had slain his opponent – this was an indisputable truth.

As long as he swallowed his human bead, his strength would rise and no one would be his match in this mystic realm!

He could even cut down the other cultivators one at a time, turning them into human beads and eating them.

There was also that Qin Yu who entered this mystic realm first and still hadn’t shown himself – he was a must kill target.

Space Laws. That was the legendary Space Laws! Just thinking about it left him drooling.

He had come to the Land of Disorder at just the right time!

He took a deep breath and restrained the burning heat in his eyes. The unfamiliar cultivator licked his lips and subconsciously furrowed his eyebrows.

Something didn’t seem right. Flare Wind had died, so why didn’t he condense into a human bead? Could it be that he was stronger so the speed at which his bead formed was slower?

Mm? That wasn’t right!

The unfamiliar cultivator’s eyes widened. His response wasn’t slow, but the blazing hot temperatures had exploded like a volcano.

Bang –

Scarlet flames wrapped around him!

“I-impossible!” The unfamiliar cultivator wildly struggled, “You are already dead!”

Flare Wind’s cold voice could be heard within the flames, “My Ash Flame Lineage has a supreme treasure, giving us a substitute of flames. This is the same as gaining an extra life out of thin air.

“You killed me, but the flames are me too.”

Flare Wind’s bald face appeared in the flames. His expression was chilling, “Since I have answered your question, you may go in peace.”

“No!” The unfamiliar cultivator cried out pitifully. But as he was caught in the flames, he had lost the initiative.

With a light puff, the flames vanished and a scorched black corpse dropped down, turning into powder.

A crimson human bead the size of an egg appeared.

The flames condensed into a body. An extremely pale Flare Wind leaned against a door, gasping for breath. But, his eyes were bright.

He won!

He reached out a hand and picked up the human bead.

But at this time, he stiffened

Kacha –

There was the crisp sound of breaking bones. Then, a terrifying dark energy invaded every orifice of his head, cutting off his vitality.

“I heard that you have two lives. I wonder if you can survive this too.”

Reality proved that he couldn’t.

Qin Yu looked down at the two extremely scarlet human beads in his hands. He fell into deep contemplation

Could he really not eat these things?

Qin Yu had thought of countless ways to kill Flare Wind, but he never thought this would be the final result.

Of course, when Flare Wind died, he likely never imagined that he would have his neck snapped like an old hen. He likely died with grievances in his heart.

But killing was killing. No matter what method was used, wasn’t the result the only thing that mattered?

Returning to the above question, he certainly wouldn’t eat a human bead. No matter how awesome this thing was, Qin Yu wouldn’t touch it.

But what should he do about Yun Shi?

Before coming to the courtyard, Qin Yu had no idea that after Flare Wind was killed off, he would turn into an egg-sized human bead.

In other words, the method that he and Old Turtle had come up with to save Yun Shi could no longer be used.

A difficult choice was placed in front of him. If he fed Yun Shi the human bead that had formed from the dead Flare Wind, there was a chance he could revive her. But, there was also a chance he would thrust her into the deepest abyss.

Qin Yu hesitated.

When it came to himself, he could be decisive and cruel. But this involved someone else and was related to their life and death.

But things quickly progressed and Qin Yu could no longer remain indecisive…Yun Shi’s condition had suddenly worsened!

This wasn’t beyond Qin Yu’s expectations. In truth, she was already lucky to have survived this long after experiencing a bloodline backlash.

He could either watch her die or feed her a human bead and take a gamble. Taking a step back, even if there was a problem, he could figure out a solution to that later.

“This will depend on your luck…” Qin Yu pinched open her mouth and lifted her chin. After he placed the human bead between her lips, Yun Shi swallowed it down.

A moment later, her fingers moved and she opened her eyes. She looked at Qin Yu and after a brief daze she said, “Big Brother Qin…”

Her voice was weak and hoarse.

Qin Yu smiled. Disregarding all else, at least Yun Shi survived for now.

“Don’t say anything right now.”

He placed a hand on her body, carefully sensing her condition. After determining that her bloodline backlash had subsided and she was constantly growing stronger, he relaxed. Yun Shi’s luck was good. At least on the surface, nothing seemed wrong.

“You are fine for now. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, immediately tell me.” Qin Yu said as he pulled back his hand.

Yun Shi smiled in gratitude, “Thank you Big Brother Qin. If it weren’t for you I would have died by now.”

Qin Yu hesitated, “I’m not going to lie to you. The reason I helped save you is because I have my own considerations. If I offend you in the future, I can only ask for your forgiveness.”

Yun Shi’s eyes widened. She nodded with effort. “You are the one that saved my life. No matter what you want to do, I’ll help you!”

Even if I want your life?

This thought flashed through Qin Yu’s mind once before he suppressed it. He said, “You just regained consciousness and you haven’t recovered yet. Just rest for now.”

“Mm.”

Yun Shi closed her eyes. Qin Yu sat down beside her and the atmosphere fell silent.

He looked at Yun Shi who seemed to be sleeping. He suddenly remembered that he hadn’t taken back the dark moon and red sun mark from within her body.

Whatever. It wasn’t too late to take them back once she woke up.

He took a deep breath and started to control his breathing. Since he no longer needed to provide strength to the dark moon and red sun marking, that was the same as unshackling his body. He only needed a short period of time to restore his condition to its peak.

But as Qin Yu closed his eyes, a palpitating feeling of fear suddenly erupted from deep in his heart. His eyes flew open and beads of sweat covered his forehead.

His eyes swept around like lightning. Everything was as calm as it was before. There was only the tranquilly sleeping Yun Shi at his side.

As if that trace of fear he felt just now seemed to only be an illusion.

His eyes clouded over with a dignified light. But before he could think more about this, his complexion changed. He looked up. The fog covered his eyes, but after coming within a certain distance, he could still feel cultivators approaching.

There was more than one!

Qin Yu’s first thought was that Flare Wind’s battle with the unfamiliar cultivator had aroused the interest of other cultivators. But, he soon discovered that things weren’t like this.

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

With the sound of breaking air, several people broke into the garden. As if by prior agreement, they all looked at the tightly shut doors of the firewood shed.

Qin Yu’s heart sank. They had come for him!

But why?

When he killed Flare Wind, he had been quick and decisive. Even if he revealed some aura, with the poison fog concealing things, there was no way others could have detected him.

There was no time to think further, because someone was already making a move. It was Ruan Jing!

He thrust out a palm, directly blowing apart the doors of the firewood shed. A calm voice rang out, “Brother Qin, are you still not going to come out even now?”

Yun Shi woke up, her face instantly turning pale.

Qin Yu glanced at her, indicating there was no need to worry. Even if he had no confidence in his heart right now.

In terms of trump cards, he wasn’t afraid of anyone, even if these people had all eaten some human beads.

But if he faced them all together, his chances of victory were near zero!

Although this was the truth, after a brief period of anger, Qin Yu rapidly calmed down. Panicking was useless; it would only accelerate his death. Moreover, before even trying, who knew what the result would be?

Since they had even broken down the door, there was no need to hide. Qin Yu motioned for Yun Shi to lie down on his back and then waved his hand, releasing the spell.
