Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1235 – Found

…

“Cough…about this plan. Only master can use it, and you cannot take anyone else with you.” Old Turtle dryly laughed. “Master, I really did try my best, but I cannot do any better, so please consider this? Cough cough…what I am thinking is that we aren’t friends or even familiar with Peachy, so there is no need to fight for her. Also, she has a father who is a peak True Saint, so this other Saint might not necessarily kill her, right? We should preserve our poor lives as much as possible!”

Qin Yu’s lips twitched. This Old Turtle fellow, was he trying to help him find an excuse to flee on his own? If it were anyone else, he would have done so without hesitation.

They didn’t know each other well and there was no deep relationship, so naturally he didn’t need to go all-out.

But this didn’t apply to Peachy!

“If I cannot bring Peachy with me, then there isn’t a need to say anything else. Now, I want to ask you, is there a way to help me increase my chances of killing a Saint?” Qin Yu said without expression, “You should know that you share weal and woe with me. If something happens to me, you cannot escape either.

“So this is not a request. I am only explicitly telling you that if you want to live, you had better do your best…as for whatever losses you might suffer, I promise you that as long as we live, I will make it up to you.”

Old Turtle was silent.

But in truth, even though he didn’t say anything, his silence indicated many things.

Qin Yu lightly said, “How about the thing that fought with the Saint all night? Since it is bred from the heavens and earth, it should be useful to you.”

Old Turtle’s thoughts fluctuated. It was clear that these words had an enormous attraction to him. But anyone could draw images of cakes. The key was whether or not he could eat them. He muttered, “Master, you cannot accomplish that.”

This was a straightforward reply. Even if it was the truth, he feared that he was tired of living!

Qin Yu made a note of this slight. He lightly said, “I cannot, but the Spring Master can. If we save Peachy, that will be a great merit, and with a great merit, there will naturally be an equally great reward. I can ask the Spring Master for help.”

When he finished speaking, his tone changed, becoming as cold as the winter wind. “I told you before that this isn’t a request. If you aren’t afraid of death, you can save your strength.”

Old Turtle hesitated. “Master, we’ve come to an agreement then. You must ask the Spring Master for help. I can help you, but the losses will be enormous. Not only will I have to spit out what I’ve eaten before, but even more beyond that.

“Moreover, the Saints of the vast brightness world have obtained the approval of the world’s will to begin with. For an outsider like me to help kill them, even if I am only contaminated by a bit of the cause and effect, that is extremely troublesome. I might be directly erased by the world’s will.”

Regarding the topic of life and death, only 30% of Old Turtle’s words could be believed. He had to be embellishing things. But even if it was only 30%, there were definitely dangers involved, otherwise he wouldn’t be so hesitant.

Qin Yu said, “I will keep my word. Even if I can’t kill that one beneath the mountain, I will compensate you in some other way. Don’t worry, you are very useful, so even if you wanted to die now, I wouldn’t be able to bear it.”

These words were much more useful than his previous guarantee. After thinking things through, Old Turtle finally put out his own method.

It was a bead.

In terms of outer appearance, it was actually the exact same as the one formed from the two phantoms Peachy produced.

Old Turtle’s voice was weak but he couldn’t hide the insidiousness in it, “Master, throw Peachy’s bead first, and then mine. Perhaps there might be an unexpected effect.”

After thinking a bit, the reason was clear.

Without looking, Qin Yu nodded and turned his hand, putting the bead away.

Three cards!

Although it might not be enough, this was the limit that Qin Yu could take out. While he had many other methods, they weren’t good enough to deal with a Saint.

Space Laws…perhaps they might be useful against a normal Saint. But the one that pursued them had already grasped the Space Laws, and he was definitely more skilled than Qin Yu. As said before, using the Space Laws in front of him was suicide.

Then, the only thing remaining was the Time Laws.

To be honest, it was only through a complete lucky chance and coincidence that Qin Yu grasped the tiniest bit of this thing.

It really was just a little bit. Even calling it superficial was insulting to the word superficial.

But the most essential point was that from the moment he had grasped it until now, he hadn’t made any progress at all.

Looking at Peachy, Qin Yu hesitated a little. He picked her up and placed her in a corner. He had already made up his mind. When he was discovered, he would summon the great furnace and put her inside.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu looked up outside the cave. The constant explosions still rang without end.

The good news was that the direction he was in wasn’t receiving any special attention. According to the Saint’s current speed, he had about two hours.

Until then, he could only wait!

But at this moment, Old Turtle suddenly spoke up, his voice a bit cautious. He slowly said, “Master, since you are planning on taking this Saint head on and killing him, how come you haven’t prepared your strongest card? Could it be that you are waiting for the critical moment…but that’s not right. If you don’t prepare these things early, you won’t have the chance to use them when you need to.”

Qin Yu was expressionless. He lowered his head in thought, earnestly thinking. Just what was his strongest card?

Do I really have something like that?

After a long and unspeakable silence, Old Turtle’s voice suddenly rose with incredulity, ”Master, you don’t know!?”

Qin Yu’s lips twitched, “That’s right.”

They were his things but he had no idea what they were, and not just that but he also had to be reminded by others. It was simply a joke.

Without giving Old Turtle another chance to express his inconceivability, Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, “Now, can you say what that hidden card is?”

…

The young man was without expression. Every time he repeated his motions, the earth shook and countless lives were crushed to powder. Standing in the air, he was like the master of the entire world, recklessly venting his rage as he slaughtered and destroyed.

But no one knew just what sort of suffering this ‘master of the entire world’ was feeling beneath this calm veneer.

He had delayed for too long!

His Dao was shaking. This was a clear unease he could feel erupting from the depths of his soul, implying that some grave danger was approaching.

The Spring Master would soon arrive!

This was the only possible explanation. The young man firmly believed this, and as a result he had far, far too little time left.

But even now, he wasn’t able to feel any fluctuation of power. Qin Yu and Peachy, those two juniors were brave enough. They hadn’t been frightened into running away. This undoubtedly caused him even more trouble in finding them.

But where were they hiding?

The young man suddenly looked up. At this moment, he had a strong and intense intuition from the unknown. Without time to doubt it or to verify it, he took a step forward and vanished.

In the blink of an eye, the young man tore open space and stepped out. He lifted a hand and pressed down.

Bang –

Terrifying strength arrived like towering mountains. Space cracked and an aura full of despair and destruction covered a ten mile radius.

A moment later, the young man’s eyes brightened.

Bang –

Light and darkness suddenly erupted from the ground, rapidly inflating and proliferating outwards, condensing into a domain.

Found them!

…

At first glance, Qin Yu found that things had deviated from his original prediction. The one that appeared at this moment wasn’t a shadow, but a cold and callous young man. Although he appeared young, his eyes were faint and dense, filled with the vicissitudes of time that accumulated over the passing years.

But even though the aura wasn’t the same, Qin Yu had personally experienced this domineering spirit and disdain before, so it was impossible for him to judge it wrongly. Thus, it was easy to come to a conclusion – that the Saint behind the shadow had arrived!

To control a shadow to kill versus arriving with his main body, there was certainly a difference. At the very least, this Saint could erupt with an entirely different level of power. To put it in simpler words, no matter how convenient a puppet was, it would never be as smooth to handle as doing it in person.

Soon, Qin Yu’s judgment was confirmed. The Light and Darkness Domain fiercely twisted as a terrifying strength assaulted it like an endless tide. He had originally hoped that the Light and Darkness Domain would be able to block two punches, but now he feared it wouldn’t even be able to withstand one.

When Qin Yu saw the young man, the Saint’s eyes fell on Peachy. The great furnace was translucent and couldn’t stop someone from looking inside. A Saint’s eyesight was better than Qin Yu’s. With a single look, he could determine that Peachy’s situation wasn’t good. She had likely been unconscious for a long time.

In other words, the trap he fell into before wasn’t the work of Peachy…but of Qin Yu.

He had tripped into a ditch three times, twice in one ditch and once in another. Although the number of trips were the same, the meaning wasn’t. What was a Saint? Were they someone that could be easily fooled, and just who was able to easily fool them? Did he have no face at all!?

He glanced at Qin Yu and instantly sentenced him to death. But, the key here today was Peachy, so he would let him live a little longer.

Kacha –

Kacha –

The Light and Darkness Domain was eventually unable to withstand the strike of a Saint’s fist. With a mournful shattering sound, it collapsed into countless pieces and dissipated.

A mocking light appeared in the young man’s eyes. The Light and Dark Body was indeed powerful, but it depended on who used it. The absolute disparity in power couldn’t be made up for by one or two trump cards. He wanted to be a hero that saved the beauty and turned the tide? With his skills, he was still far too naïve.

He lifted a hand and grasped forward. The space around Peachy twisted as a giant hand fell towards the great furnace.

Hum –

As if sensing a threat, the silent great furnace began to shine with dark red runes. The air immediately turned scorching hot.

With a deep rumble, the dark red runes on the great furnace’s surface crazily released light. The translucent furnace body started to ripple from the pressure.

At this moment, Qin Yu felt an urgent call coming from the furnace. His eyes flashed and he turned his hand, taking out the iron lump. With a howl, it flew out and fused into the great furnace.

As if suddenly receiving support from some formidable strength, deep thunderous rings came from the furnace and the ripples vanished. The dark red runes reappeared, shining even brighter than before. The temperature in the air rose as the attack of the Saint was forcibly resisted.

Qin Yu relaxed inwardly. This was the best result he hoped for. The great furnace could resist a Saint’s attacks, even if only for a short period of time. If it weren’t for that, the Saint would have ignored Qin Yu and taken Peachy, making things even more troublesome.

After all, the cards in his hand could only be used to kill others, and he had no way of protecting Peachy himself. If he fought with the Saint, the shockwaves produced from that collision would likely kill Peachy.
