Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1421

Chapter 1176: Split Body

A thought flashed across her mind. Qin Yu was right – there really was a problem with Yao Ling.

Since there was a problem with her, then Zhang Ying was also implicated.

Yun Shi’s eyes widened, because she saw Zhang Ying appear behind Yun Che.

She was going to harm her big brother!

Her heartbeat accelerated and she seemed to hear a light cracking sound in her ears, as if something had just broken to pieces.

“Big brother, be careful…” Yun Shi screamed with all her strength. Then, she spat out a mouthful of blood. All of her exposed skin immediately turned red.

As if scarlet flames had ignited within her body.

As the blood fell to the ground, it really started to burn.

The temperature in the air rose rapidly!

Yun Che’s complexion changed. He suddenly moved, avoiding the sneak attack from behind him. When Zhang Ying’s attack failed she stepped away and looked at Yun Shi with a frown.

“Ash Flame Lineage…” Yao Ling was a bit surprised, but she immediately lit up with joy.

Yun Che’s eyes flashed with disbelief. He clenched his teeth and shouted, “There really was a problem with you!” As he spoke he stared at Yao Ling. Yun Shi was currently in her hands.

Hearing these words, Yao Ling chuckled. “Big Brother Yun, the truth is that I do like you, it’s just that I have no other choice.”

This wasn’t the original plan, but Qin Yu’s appearance had forced them to act ahead of time. Luckily, things had proceeded smoothly so far and Yun Shi was actually from the Ash Flame Lineage. This was a pleasant surprise.

Yun Che had no time to regret. He coldly said, “Let go of Yun Shi and I’ll let the two of you live!”

Besides the injured Lian Feng and the woman who had turned into a red-furred monster, there were still five people on their side. Even if Yao Ling and Zhang Ying had been hiding their strength, they wouldn’t be a match for them.

Thinking of this, Yun Che’s heart ached and he scolded himself. He felt infinite gratitude towards Qin Yu. If it wasn’t for his sudden appearance messing up the plans of these two women, things might have become truly dangerous for their party.

“Five against two, you do have the advantage in numbers…” Yao Ling’s lips curved up, “But I don’t think that’s true anymore.”

Yun Che was startled. Before he could respond, he heard two pitiful screams.

The two people who were supporting Lian Feng had their chests torn apart. Their organs fell to the ground as blood gushed out from their eyes and noses.

Lian Feng, who was rotting all over and looked fiercely grotesque, didn’t seem to feel any pain at all. He indifferently said, “Stop wasting time. Get rid of them as soon as possible!”

As he spoke, the rotten flesh on his face plopped to the ground.

A cultivator who had his chest torn apart didn’t immediately die. He looked up with disbelief, “Senior-apprentice Brother Lian Feng, you…”

Lian Feng said, “He died long ago. But that doesn’t matter. You’ll join him soon enough.” With a swing of his hands, he tossed the two people over to the red-furred woman who was eating the golden fruits. She was attracted by the scent of blood and immediately pounced on the two cultivators, wildly chewing on them.

The scene was rank with the smell of blood!

Seeing this sight, Yun Chen, Zhou Huan, and Zhou Cheng felt as if they were tossed into an icy cave. A cold chill surged in their hearts.

It was clear that from the very start, coming to the mountain valley was a trap.

Lian Feng said, “Do you understand now? That’s good. Then I’ll send you all on the road together.”

A scream came from his mouth. Then, the red-furred woman who was gnawing at the two corpses suddenly raised her head and fixed her eyes on Yun Che and the others.

Bang –

The ground was torn apart by sharp claws as the red-furred woman howled forward, soaring at Yun Che and the two others. After eating a massive number of golden fruits as well as flesh and blood, her body had become much larger, like a giant red-furred monster.

However, her giant body didn’t hinder her speed. In fact she was even faster, more nimble than before.

Her claws grasped at Yun Che. As they slashed through the air, they emitted sizzling sounds.

Even three against one, they could barely hold their own. All of the attacks that fell on the red-furred monster weren’t able to cause any serious damage to it.

Yun Che’s complexion grew increasingly ugly.

And there was also the monster that had replaced Lian Feng, as well as Yao Ling and Zhang Ying, who were staring at them from the side.

He feared that things had become dangerous now!

He looked at his little sister who was grabbed by Yao Ling. Then, he clenched his teeth and tossed a token upwards.

Bang –

As the token came into contact with the air, it began to fiercely burn, turning into an incomparably massive flame symbol that shot into the skies.

The air violently distorted. A shimmering array formation appeared, trapping the flame rune within.

Lian Feng fiendishly grinned. “The Ash Flame Lineage’s distress token…fortunately, I arranged an array formation before, otherwise things really would become troublesome.”

He looked at Zhang Ying, “Go and finish them off before anything else happens!”

As he spoke he stepped forward. Then, with a shake of his body, the rotten flesh and blood completely sloughed off of him and flew at Yun Che.

Bang –

Bang –

Pieces of flesh and blood blew apart, turning into a thick black and red fog.

Yun Che quickly stepped back. But no one thought that even though Lian Feng attacked in his direction, the target wasn’t actually him. Taking advantage of Yun Che’s retreat, Lian Feng, who only had a skeleton left, raised a hand and punched out at Zhou Huan.

Billowing gray energy condensed together into a bone dragon that roared forward.

Caught off guard, Zhou Huan’s face was pale. He screamed and tossed a treasure forward. It exploded with a bang, giving him time to retreat.

But at this moment, he stiffened. Zhang Ying’s pupils had turned blood red and she had locked her eyes onto him. It was a strange and eerie sight.

When these blood red eyes locked onto him, Zhou Huan’s mind went blank for a moment and he froze in place. Although this only lasted for a short period of time, when he regained his composure the bone dragon was already right in front of him. It opened its mouth and swallowed him up.

“Ahh – !” His miserable screams came to a sudden stop.

The skeletal Lian Feng chewed vigorously. Even though there was nothing in his mouth, one could still hear sounds coming from him and he even happily swallowed several times.

“Zhou Huan!” The honest and kind Zhou Cheng’s eyes instantly turned red. The two were blood brothers and had a close relationship growing up together.

Lian Feng laughed as he ate, “Don’t be so anxious. You’re up next.”

As he spoke his complexion suddenly changed. The array formation barrier that blocked the flame rune began to fiercely shake.

Then, it loudly shattered.

Whoosh –

The flame rune shot into the skies!

Lian Feng screamed and started vomiting onto the ground. He was a skeleton right now, but what he spat out were bits and pieces of chewed flesh with fragments of robes mixed in. It was the remnants of Zhou Huan who had been eaten up by the bone dragon.

“Be careful, someone broke in!”

Yao Ling’s complexion changed. As she was preparing to bring Yun Shi away, she suddenly stiffened.

A hand had grabbed onto her neck. With a twist, it broke off.

Crack –

There was the sound of breaking bones and tearing flesh. Her entire head was pulled off and tossed to the ground where it rolled around a few times. Her eyes were wide and filled with fear and alarm.

“Save me! Hurry and save me!” The head screeched on the ground. But before it could say anything else, the light in her eyes rapidly dimmed down.

Pa –

With a light sound, Yao Ling’s head exploded into pieces. Her corpse poured to the ground, instantly rotting away into goo.

It was like this woman had died many years ago, and it was only because of some type of power that her appearance from before her death had been maintained.

And after her head was torn off, the power that maintained her survival was also broken.

Yun Shi fell backwards into a hard and solid embrace. She widened her eyes as she spat blood, “Big…Big Brother Qin Yu…”

Her body was scarlet like a heated iron. Qin Yu frowned and placed a finger between her eyebrows, “Don’t talk. Go to sleep for now.”

A dark mark appeared between Yun Shi’s eyebrows. The terrifying temperature she released immediately fell, and her skin was restored to its original color.

But Qin Yu knew he had only forcibly restrained Yun Shi’s bloodline backlash. This was only a stopgap measure that would last for a short period of time.

“Brother Qin!” Yun Che smiled in joy. Then, he revealed a look of shame.

Qin Yu flicked his sleeves. Strength gushed out from the void, pulling Yun Che and Zhou Cheng back.

“You all leave first.”

As he spoke he passed Yun Shi to them.

Yun Che widened his eyes, “Brother Qin…”

“Leave.” Qin Yu said, not explaining.

Yun Che clenched his teeth. He grabbed Yun Shi with one hand and held onto Zhou Cheng with the other before turning his head and rushing out of the valley.

The skeletal Lian Feng’s eye sockets were hollow, yet he glared at Qin Yu. He screamed, “Who are you!?”

Zhang Ying said in a low voice, “I can’t lock onto his aura.”

This was the first time such a situation had occurred.

Although she had ended up in a state where she didn’t seem like a ghost or human, she still retained the abilities of the Sly Fate Lineage.

Qin Yu ignored them. He looked deep into the valley at the golden fruit tree that was quietly standing there. He lightly said, “With so much noise, it’s time for the host to step forward. It would be rude to keep two puppets jumping around in front of me.”

The mountain valley remained silent.

Qin Yu said without expression, “That’s fine. I’ll get rid of these puppets first and see how long you can endure.”

He lifted a hand and pressed forward. His five fingers were like five mountains, suppressing all sides!

Lian Feng and Zhang Ying’s complexions changed. At this moment, within their perception, the heavens and earth had darkened.

It was like an endless abyss, and also the everlasting night that came after the sun fell. It wanted to drag them in so that they would never escape.

Bang –

The golden fruit tree suddenly erupted with endless golden light. Each branch and every leaf released a blinding golden light.

The endless light shot out like arrows, howling straight at Qin Yu.

The air twisted fiercely, cracking as if it couldn’t withstand the power of the golden arrows. Space started to break apart and pitch black cracks appeared.

The infinite darkness, with Qin Yu at the center, suddenly erupted. It was like a black mouth that led to somewhere unknown, swallowing up all the light that approached.

However, only Qin Yu who was within the darkness knew that the truly terrifying thing about this golden light was the immense amount of soul force contained within it.

Or to be more precise, it was a kind of dissolving soul force. It possessed a horrifying toxicity to it. Once it contaminated one’s soul, it would continue melting away at it without pause.

Old Turtle ate a lot and he had a wonderful appetite. As long as it was soul force, he didn’t care what kind of soul force it was.

In fact, Qin Yu could sense some joy from his mood…it was probably because he had encountered some kind of delicious food.

However, according to the intensity of this soul force, Old Turtle judged that this golden fruit tree was only an avatar.

In other words, the main body wasn’t here.

Qin Yu immediately decided to no longer entangle himself with this other party. There were a great number of people who entered the mystic realm, and many of them were powerful characters.

He didn’t hope that his chance to become famous would be snatched away by someone else…because he had delayed for so long already, he feared there wasn’t enough time to follow his other option of passing through the Endless Sea.

So, he couldn’t miss out on this opportunity.

“Tell me where your main body is and perhaps I can give you a path to survival.” Qin Yu calmly said in the darkness.

The golden fruit tree erupted with an even richer light, dyeing the entire mountain valley red. Even the fog in the skies was torn apart.

The commotion was even greater than before. People would soon be drawn over.
