Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1682 – Escaping Breaking Heaven Mountain

Qin Yu was hiding something. 

He had been hiding it from the start. 

Like Bull Bean, he knew that there was an ancient person hiding in the fog and that he was the real trouble. Of course, he would not show his full powers right from the start. 

It was a pity that this person was extremely cautious, and up until now, he had yet to show any intention of making a move. It was obvious that he wanted to use Wind, Fire and Charm Demon as tools. He was someone who wouldn’t make a move until he saw his reward. 

Hmm…this description was not the most accurate, but it roughly summed up the scenario. 

Qin Yu could not wait any longer. The longer this dragged on, the more energy he would use up. He would deal with the three major demons first!

Amongst the three major demons of Breaking Heaven Mountain, Charm Demon’s attacks were the most troublesome. She controlled Chengshan Crab and created the most problems for Qin Yu. 

Qin Yu’s voice suddenly appeared in Deng Haibo’s head. He asked about Chengshan Crab. To be able to cultivate and reach the Three Peak Ruler Realm, Deng Haibo did not lack when it came to the mind. His eyes merely lit up slightly but he did not express any emotions.

He considered Qin Yu’s question carefully before responding. If Qin Yu was able to get rid of the control Charm Demon had, he was confident in restoring control of Chengshan Crab once more. 

After all, as a demon beast that had been fed and brought up by the Sky Sea Sect over thousands of years, they had naturally set up precautions since they relied on him to carry the ferry over such long distances. 

Determining the answer, Qin Yu made his decision and waited for the right moment. 

Boom – 

A loud crash could be heard as Chengshan Crab’s enormous claw hit the ground once more. As the ground cracked, a large amount of dust was thrown into the air. 

Qin Yu hid in the dust, and when it dissipated, a black figure dashed out and punched Chengshan Crab right on the forehead. 

Chengshan Crab’s defensive abilities were incredible and his only weak spot was his forehead. Charm Demon had guarded against this by placing the crab’s other front claw in front of his forehead. 

As Qin Yu punched out, a crazy energy surged forth, it was more than double the energy that he had been displaying before now. 

At this moment, the restrictive energy from the small world also increased rapidly, causing Chengshan Crab’s body to momentarily hesitate and the punch caused him to flip over. 

Boom –

The immense suppressive force fell on Chengshan Crab’s body, preventing him from being able to move. Qin Yu locked down on him and targeted his forehead. 

At this moment, there was a mocking look in Chengshan Crab’s slightly red eyes. He was filled with a slightly proud look. As if to say he had been waiting for this moment. He suddenly opened his mouth and reached forwards; numerous sharp fangs could be seen

But just as the fangs were about to pierce through Qin Yu’s body, Chengshan Crab suddenly cried out miserably. 

His body twitched violently as he lost control. He could only watch as Qin Yu punched and broke his fangs. 

Qin Yu then raised his hand and broke the shell above his forehead. Next he reached in and pulled with his hands. 

Chengshan Crab suddenly fell to the ground; a ball of twisted blood was being grabbed by Qin Yu. It could not escape no matter how it struggled. Charm Demon’s body appeared within the blood ball and she realized that she was not able to escape. She shrieked and changed her strategy. 

Since she could not escape, she would not. If he dared to grab her directly, he would be underestimating how scary she was.

The blood ball sudden spread open and covered Qin Yu’s hand as if he was wearing a deep red glove. It then fused itself into his skin. 

In the blink of an eye, the entire blood ball had entered Qin Yu’s body. He looked calm, as if he had predicted that this would happen. 

Having entered Qin Yu’s body, Charm Demon was crazy with delight. It had been a lot easier than she thought. After she entered his soul space and gained control of his soul, she would know all his secrets. 

Or she could just swallow his soul and occupy his body. That would be cleaner. 

Becoming a man was not difficult for Charm Demon to accept. She has never had a fixed gender. She could turn into a male or female with a single thought. 

Near! Getting nearer!

His soul space was right before her eyes. 

Charm Demon was prepared to sacrifice a bit of herself to barge into Qin Yu’s soul space. 

After all, his soul space defense must be strong since he had reached this cultivation level. Even though she was talented and had unique abilities in this area, she could not get instant success. 

But in the next moment, Charm Demon was stunned. The barrier to his soul space seemed to be negligible. It was as if it was a huge illusory door that could be opened with a soft push, allowing her to enter Qin Yu’s soul space easily. 

“Ah!”

A miserable cry could suddenly be heard as Charm Demon’s body turned into blood mist and started to evaporate and turn into air. 

In Qin Yu’s soul space, there was the sun and moon in the east and west. The power of the sun and moon was mighty and majestic. They were the natural nemesis of Charm Demon. 

In a few moments, Charm Demon was completely burnt to ashes. 

Having killed Charm Demon, things would be easier now. 

“Deng Haibo!”

Qin Yu growled as he looked at Wind and Fire Demon. It was their turn now. 

Having been warned beforehand, Deng Haibo had been prepared. He gritted his teeth and in the next moment, he landed on Chengshan Crab. Biting his finger, he used his blood to quickly write some words on Chengshan Crab’s shell. He wrote a talisman. 

Buzz –

The talisman lit up and fused into Chengshan Crab; the blood and brutal aura rapidly disappeared.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Deng Haibo shot a thumbs up to show that it had been successful. 

“Suppress!”

Qin Yu growled as he lifted his arms. The air over the port started to twist. The fire dome that Wind and Fire Demon had set up together started to shake. Wind and Fire Demon’s faces changed. 

Charm Demon’s aura had disappeared and she was probably gone. Qin Yu suddenly made such a huge move…this human brat was playing tricks. Had he intentionally pretended to be weaker than he was?!

With a thought, the two major demons grew furious. They did not hesitate as they turned to escape. 

Boom –

With an explosion, the fire dome broke and Wind and Fire Demon cried out. There was fear in their eyes, “Lord, save…”

They were not able to complete their sentences before they were suppressed by the power of the small world. Qin Yu did not hesitate as he punched both of them and killed the two major demons. 

The situation had changed. The incentive was out!

On the ship, the cultivators that had been struggling to fix the defense were staring. Soon, cheers could be heard. The demons that had been crazily attacking the ferry saw that the situation was not good and all quickly backed away. However, they did not dare to turn and leave. They looked hesitant and undecided. 

“Elder Deng, how is Chengshan Crab?”

Deng Haibo took a deep breath, “Not very good, but he can still move the ferry.”

“Let him carry the ship; we are going to leave Breaking Heavens Mountain!” Qin Yu then took a step and his figure appeared in the air. He faced the Demon Clan, “What we did today was just to protect ourselves – we do not want to fight you!

“Give us a way out and we will consider today settled. If not, don’t blame me for not being merciful and having to kill our way out!”

The demons fell silent. 

The silence did not last long before there was an angry shout, “Don’t let them go. If we do, we have to die!”

“The demon soul is dead and the curse has begun. If we want to survive, we have to kill all of them.”

“Fight them. With the lord in the mist watching over us, they won’t be able to escape!”

Qin Yu did not look good as he turned to Deng Haibo, “Let’s go. If they dare to stop us, kill them!”

Woosh – 

He appeared back on the ferry. 

Chengshan Crab was urged to move. He struggled to get up and carry the ferry. He moved his legs and the ferry started to fly. 

“Kill them!”

The demons surged forwards as they attacked the ferry. The air filled with demonic energy. 

Chengshan Crab was their target. As long as he died, the ferry would not be able to fly and the humans would have to die on the mountain. 

Deng Haibo took a deep breath and glanced at the Rulers beside him, “Everyone, we have to ensure Chengshan Crab’s safety. Please follow me to fight against the Demon Clan.”

This time, several of them looked hesitant. 

Having escaped the life and death situation earlier, their greed started to show. Though the three strongest demons on Breaking Heaven Mountain had been killed, it did not mean that the other demons were easy to deal with. 

Moreover, there were many demons and they were fighting for their lives. Even if these cultivators were Rulers, they might be in danger. 

Shu Huan flew over and said in a low voice, “The two of you, follow Elder Deng.” She looked at the remaining Rulers, “Dear Rulers, I am the daughter of the Shu Family from Long Mountain Area. If you all are able to help today, it will be a favor that the Shu Family owes you.”

There was a short moment of hesitation before a few nodded. 

The Shu Family from Long Mountain Area. Though their current power was not significant as in the past, they were still a very powerful and famous clan. 

Shu Huan had expressed her identity. If they continued to hide and be fearful, they would have to face the Shu Family’s wrath if anything happened to Shu Huan. 

They might as well suck it up and fight. If they fought together and were careful, nothing might happen. 

When they eventually managed to escape Breaking Heaven Mountain, the cultivators on the ferry would owe them. 

This would be highly beneficial in their futures, whether it be cultivation or roaming the Central Desolate. 

Deng Haibo put his hands together, “Lady Shu, you are very righteous, I admire you!”

Woosh –

Woosh –

Several of them flew off the ferry to defend against the demon attacks. Despite this, Chengshan Crab’s body was enormous and could not avoid all the attacks. 

This giant demon beast that was carrying the ferry cried out and caused the damaged ferry to shake. 

Everyone on the ferry held their breaths. They were afraid that if Chengshan Crab was killed, they would fall into the Demon Clan’s territory and it would be impossible to escape. 

Qin Yu returned to his residence and waved his hands, stopping anyone from speaking. He found a room and entered it. There was silence. 

Seeing this, Shu Huan looked worried and she said softly, “Is he alright?”

Bull Bean shook her head, “I don’t know.”

Qin Yu had killed three major demons in one go. While it looked easy, it must not have been. If not, he would not have immediately gone into isolation as soon as he returned to the boat. 

Moreover, Bull Bean had another fear: the ancient person in the fog. He had been quiet. 

Was he choosing to just watch and not interfere, or was he awaiting his chance? Bull Bean did not dare to think about it. Her uneasiness grew and the latter possibility felt more likely. 

Time passed slowly and Deng Haibo and the other Rulers were starting to tire out. Chengshan Crab was flying slower and slower. Everyone started to get anxious. 

Shu Huan pursed her lips as she looked at Rourou. She took a deep breath and suddenly walked over, “Dear sister, pardon me for being bold. If you are able to, please help Elder Deng and the others. Thank you!”

At this moment, everyone’s gazes turned in her direction. They all looked expectant, sincere…and desperate.
