Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1774 – Heaven’s Punishment

White Feifei continued to tease him but when Qin Yu remained silent, she did not dare to go overboard as well and stopped after she huffed sulkily a few times.

Actually, she was feeling much more calm and relaxed. Even though Qin Yu did not appear to be a man, details showed a person’s personality.

However, this control and self discipline showed character. At least, from White Feifei’s experience, people like him could be trusted.

Qin Yu would never have known that as he was tolerating the anger in his heart, he actually entered the good score card of another person. Otherwise, he would have laughed from the anger.

The seal under Demon Lake was different from the seal in the Sword Prison…Rourou was not here and he could not remain blind to whatever happened around him.

Qin Yu also started to understand why White Feifei said that Rourou was different.

It seemed that there were differences between Longevity Species, and Rourou was obviously among the strongest.

In the pitch black darkness, the energy of the seal oscillated like dark waves underground and it continued to spread out in all directions, never stopping.

Qin Yu headed deeper towards the seal and as he got closer to the sealed heart of White Feifei, the force of the seal continued to get stronger.

The fact that the seal could suppress White Feifei’s heart showed how strong it was.

As such, Qin Yu had to gather his focus. He did not want to lose himself to the seal and see the heart slip out of his hands.

“How far away?”

Qin Yu asked in a deep voice as he slashed out another time.

“Soon, soon!”

Qin Yu frowned, “Can’t you tell me something else? I have heard these words eight times.”

White Feifei feigned impatience, “My dear lord, you are the one who repeatedly asked the question in such short intervals, what can I do? However, we are really arriving soon. Hang on, we will barge in very quickly.”

Qin Yu’s expression suddenly changed.

Kaboom –

A low rumble came from all four directions.

Buzz –

The Mountains and Rivers Sword hummed and Qin Yu raised his hand. However, this time, he did not slash down.

Sword aura rushed out from it and instantly surrounded him, forming a small world.

This was the most valued move in the Opening Heavens Sword Sect – creating a world from a sword – a world created from a sword!

It was very powerful offensively but its defensive capabilities were also shocking.

Swordsmen of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect could create a small world despite not being the King realm. Furthermore, Qin Yu was now ‘borrowing’ the Half-King realm. Additionally, Qin Yu was using an immortal sword, the Mountains and Rivers Sword, which could be said to be the number one sword in the world.

Boom –

A deafening explosion shook his surroundings!

A large amount of sword aura instantly started to break and be destroyed. Qin Yu’s legs froze and he panted through his mouth. However, a new wave of sword aura rushed out and quickly replenished that which had been lost, maintaining the perfectness of the small world.

“White Feifei, you had better be right about this!”

Gritting his teeth, Qin Yu took another step forward.

“This…this…” White Feifei stammered, “My Lord, you don’t have to suffer so badly by yourself.

“As long as you use a little, just a thumbprint worth of Blazing Sun energy, you would be able to overcome all of this.”

Qin Yu’s face remained stoic, “Shut up! Do you think they will look blankly as a new Blazing Sun appears? White Feifei, tell me the truth, how far are we?”

White Feifei said in an almost whisper, “We still have some way to go.”

Qin Yu sighed deeply but could only laugh bitterly to himself. As he expected, women's lips were used to lie; he could not trust them at all!

What could he do? Resist!

Kaboom –

Deafening explosions continued to rush towards his head from all directions and Qin Yu felt like he was a small, vulnerable boat in a raging sea. He could capsize any moment and die.

Struggling to take steps forward, his face turned pale and his pace was starting to slow down. In the beginning, White Feifei would chime in at certain moments and try to encourage Qin Yu.

However, she fell silent after a while.

Blood started to seep out from his nose, his eyes, and then his ears.

It dripped on his hands and the Mountains and Rivers Sword was slowly dyed red from his blood.

Buzz –

A soft buzz came from the Mountains and Rivers Sword and Qin Yu suddenly realized that the pressure around him had decreased.

That was because the Mountains and Rivers Sword was giving off another energy after it absorbed his blood.

The aura of this energy…it was Rourou’s!

A smile stretched across Qin Yu’s face and his eyes grew warm. It seemed that she had left a backdoor; this woman was truly extraordinary.

Shoosh –

Qin Yu flew forward faster.

He had to cherish the time that Rourou bought for him.

Kaboom –

The explosions around him grew more intense and the force of the seal was at its strongest at this point.

However, there was no way for it to cause Qin Yu any harm.

Finally, with a soft ‘bam’, all the energy of the seal vanished.

Darkness retreated like water and light appeared ahead of Qin Yu. He could finally see the heart that was suspended in midair in front of him.

Ba bum –

Ba bum –

It contracted and expanded, beating rhythmically.

Woosh –

White Feifei’s body appeared in front of Qin Yu. She looked at the Mountains and Rivers Sword and said, “My Lord, leave the rest to me.”

She stomped down and appeared right in front of the heart. Then, she reached out and grabbed it.

However, things did not proceed as smoothly as imagined. The heart shivered slightly and a wave of energy was released from it, isolating itself from the rest of the world.

It was rejecting White Feifei.

This was the terror of heavenly punishment. It split a Longevity Species, separated its body parts, and suppressed them.

When the suppression continued for too long, each remnant body part would give birth to its own consciousness.

As such, after heavenly punishment, it was very hard for a Longevity Species to reform its full body.

Evidently, this happened to White Feifei’s heart.

Shoosh –

Another White Feifei appeared. She had the same blinding white eyes. However, she wore a bright red outfit.

She kneeled towards Qin Yu and bowed respectfully, “White Feifei pays her respects to the future Blazing Sun.”

Although the separated body parts of a Longevity Species had their own consciousness, they had the same roots. When they grew close together, their memories would interlink and they would not be able to control it as they devoured and merged their thoughts and emotions.

If Qin Yu was not around, the blood red White Feifei would have attacked White Feifei.

Qin Yu frowned but remained silent.

The White Feifei in the blood-colored outfit continued, “We are the same person, but regardless of who survives, we will stick to our original promise of helping you and being loyal to you. My Lord, you don’t have to suspect this.”

White Feifei remained expressionless, “She is right.”

The White Feifei in the blood-colored outfit smiled, “Therefore, My Lord, please stand back and wait for a while. We will decide the victor quickly.”

Qin Yu hesitated for a while and he glanced at White Feifei once before stepping back.

“Let’s begin.”

“Alright.”

The two White Feifeis had obviously predicted that this would happen.

They did not hesitate to attack.

Shoosh –

Shoosh –

Both White Feifeis turned into light balls; one was white and the other was red. They clashed against each other and then merged.

Red and white colors interlinked and a mad rush of devouring and killing each other ensued. They each wanted to absorb the other party fully into themselves.

At first, red was winning. However, it started to show signs of declining later on.

The white light seemed to have been crushed at the start, but it began to gain the upper hand as the battle dragged on.

The red color was completely devoured!

Qin Yu could finally rest at ease.

Although both White Feifeis said the same thing and could be trusted, Qin Yu was more familiar with White Feifei and he hoped that she would win.

After devouring the red color, the white-colored light circled around and then slowly started to disperse. White Feifei walked out.

Compared to previously, she appeared to be much more fresh and lively.

Each movement she made appeared more flirtatious and it felt like she could suck a person’s soul away.

At this moment, she bowed gracefully and respectfully, “My Lord, I survived. Aren’t you happy?”

Qin Yu was speechless.

It was truly White Feifei!

He frowned and said, “Since you won, hurry up and take your heart to avoid dragging the night on.”

White Feifei stood up, “Thank you for the reminder, My Lord. However, I have already gotten my heart back.”

She lifted her hand and gently pulled her shirt from her chest.

Spring sunshine shone down on her!

However, she did not seem to mind. Instead, she lifted her chest and said, “Listen, it is beating.”

Qin Yu did not need to listen. With a simple sweep of his eyes, he saw that thing slightly moving in the deep, snow white gorge.

Her heart was back.

“Cough cough cough!”

Qin Yu went into a fit of coughing. He quickly turned and left, “Let’s go.”

Crazy woman!

“Hahahaha!” Behind him, White Feifei’s laughter echoed, “My Lord, you are really too cute.”

Shoosh –

Her body flashed and she appeared beside Qin Yu. She said in a soft voice, “Actually, I was lying to you, My Lord. With only one hand, I truly only managed to project my body and I could not serve you.

“But it is different now. With my heart, flesh and blood has been injected back into me and I am pretty much a living lady now. My Lord, are you really not going to be moved? I am saying the truth here and I am willing to do it.”

Qin Yu swiped his sleeves aside and his face filled with rage, “White Feifei, stop being crazy or I will get angry!”

This woman was truly going overboard.

If you speak, just speak. Why do you purposely have to blow down my neck? If you blow, then blow. Why did she have to blow and tease him, making him red from anger!

Damn it!

“My Lord, this cannot do. The Blazing Sun of the world…which, never mind, you will know eventually.

“Since My Lord does not fancy me, I am too shy to be thick skinned all the way. However, I can always open my arms for you and give you a hug. As long as you change your mind, you don’t have to tell me. Simply give me a look and I will understand.”

Woosh –

White Feifei disappeared.

Qin Yu stopped and lifted a hand to rub his face. He sighed long and hard and his heart clenched up.

This woman was so overboard!

At this moment, Qin Yu did not know that White Feifei was disappointed.

Perhaps it was a test and a seduction previously.

But this time, she was being genuine. White Feifei could see Rourou’s efforts and seriousness. She had truly thrown everything onto Qin Yu.

This was the reason why White Feifei changed her mind.

She said before that she was different from Rourou, but this difference was not tiny.

Rourou was a Longevity Species, but she was not simply a Longevity Species.

Not only was Rourou incredibly strong, her position…was high, unbelievably high!

At least, as a Longevity Species herself, White Feifei would feel pressure when she met Rourou.

Rourou held Qin Yu in high importance. Why couldn’t White Feifei take advantage of this?

Heavenly punishment on a Longevity Species – which few could really survive that?

Even if the heavens were on her side and she was very lucky, White Feifei was not certain that she would the ultimate survivor.

However, with Qin Yu’s help, everything was possible.

It was a pity that Qin Yu could resist her attempts to throw her body forward like a wolf.

Was he a man? White Feifei felt very troubled.

Thankfully, she still had time. She had to find a way to control Qin Yu quickly.

The best way to make a man devote himself to you and sacrifice everything for you was obviously to become his woman.

Of course!

……

Outside Demon Lake.

Demon Moon suddenly said, “He has succeeded.”

As Demon Moon, whose moonlight shone down on the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, she could not enter the seal but she could vaguely sense what happened.

She was not surprised with this outcome.

On the other hand, if Qin Yu had failed, Demon Moon would have started to doubt her foresight.

Green Goddess looked at the black vortex at Demon Lake.

Right at this moment, it suddenly stopped turning. In the next instant, it disappeared like the popping of a bubble.

Kaboom –

Above the skies of the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, thunderous booms suddenly erupted. A blood red color gushed out from the lightning and dyed the skies above red. Meanwhile, a terrifying aura descended upon the Demon Clan Ancestral Land, causing every Demon Clan member to tremble in fear.

Even Demon Moon and Green Goddess, two True Kings, could not help frowning as a look of worry crossed their eyes.

Heavenly punishment…

White Feifei had been suppressed by the will of the heavens and earth. Naturally, Qin Yu was rebelling against the world by saving her.

Defying the heavens and earth’s will obviously came with a price to pay.

Now, the blood red color in the sky was evidence of this.

Yet in the end, despite the red sky, the heavenly punishment did not descend.

After a few threatening moments, it slowly dissipated.

Nonetheless, Demon Moon and Green Goddess could not relax. Instead, they grew even more heavy hearted.

That was because heavenly punishment would not disappear. Once it appeared, it would definitely descend.

It was simply a matter of time.

The sooner heavenly punishment descended the better. Now, where it had disappeared, it did not truly disappear. It was simply gathering and amassing more energy.

When it burst out one day, the terror of the heavenly punishment would reach an unimaginable altitude.

It would destroy the world!

Demon Moon said, “I didn’t expect for bad things to continue to pile up on Qin Yu. He is really wrapped up by all sorts of troubles.” She lifted her hand and pointed to the sky, “This obstacle is enough for him.”

Green Goddess nodded. Before she could reply, space shifted in front of her and Qin Yu walked out.

“Demon Moon, although you are right, your words are not pleasant.”

He lifted his head and caught sight of the last bit of blood red color disappearing.

Oh heavens, you want to be a busybody too!

Demon Moon’s expression was calm, “I am just being practical and realistic. Qin Yu, you have to be careful. It was not easy for a swordsman like you to appear in this world; don’t die so easily.”

Qin Yu said, “Don’t worry, there are many who want my life. Regardless of who it was, they are all dead.”

He looked at Green Goddess, “Previously, you asked me if I could spare Demon Lake…mm, now, I have a deal to make.”

“No need!” Demon Moon directly rejected him, “Qin Yu, our deal ends here. If there is nothing else, you may leave.”

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, “I am not done yet. Since you turned down the deal, can we change to another method?” He lifted his hand and pointed, “The broken Demon Lake, I will take it.”

Demon Moon frowned.

Before she finished, Qin Yu added, “This did not belong to you guys in the first place and I have some relationship with its master.”

Demon Moon narrowed her eyes at him, “Fine.”

“Thank you!”

Qin Yu waved his sleeve and stored the remaining pieces of Demon Lake. Then, he stepped forward.

Woosh –

He vanished instantly.

It was simple and direct and it was not in the least sloppy!

Green Goddess asked, “Demon Moon, what does he want Demon Lake for?”

Demon Moon’s voice was deep and she said, “I do not know, but I had a feeling that I should not reject him. After all, who can confirm what will happen in the future? This might be an opportunity for the Demon Clan.”

Green Goddess knew that there was a deeper meaning behind these words from Demon Moon and she was hiding something.

Yet, Green Goddess did not continue to press her. She chose to trust Demon Moon.

“What should we do next?”

Demon Moon said, “Make an announcement. The Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s Qin Yu trespassed into the Demon Clan Ancestral Land and destroyed our clan’s Demon Lake. From this day onwards, he is the Demon Clan’s greatest enemy!”
