Refining the Mountains and Rivers

There were no sparks scattering out nor was there a sharp and tense confrontation. After Flare Wind and Qin Yu saw each other, they each looked away.

But during this, Qin Yu became sure of one thing. Flare Wind had already sensed Yun Shi's aura on his body.

When Yun Shi's rampaging bloodline strength suddenly became restless once again, it was likely related to the appearance of Flare Wind. Their Ash Flame bloodlines were probably sensing each other.

This was unexpected.

But perhaps because of the isolating effect from the dark moon and red sun, Flare Wind didn't sense her complete aura. Or maybe it was because of Qin Yu, but both sides were peaceful for the time being.

However, once there was a chance, Qin Yu believed that Flare Wind would attack him.

As he thought, plans could never keep up with the changes of fate. After Qin Yu thought about it, it was basically impossible to not deal with him.

But the world was like this; it never conformed to one's demands and needs. There were always changes and surprises.

If he could accept it he would accept it. If he couldn't accept it he still had to accept it.

Qin Yu felt unavoidably helpless, but he soon composed himself. Since the situation changed then he also had to alter his strategy.

The baldy must die, otherwise he wouldn't be able to revive Yun Shi. And Yun Shi was likely the key to suppressing the mystic realm's soul body.

When the Ash Flame Lineage's Flare Wind and Qin Yu looked at each other, this sight was hidden from the surrounding cultivators. But when the two looked away, the crowd was left disappointed.

There were too many opponents but the treasure in the mystic realm had to be limited. Killing or eliminating a few first was something they would all love to see. But no one here was an idiot, and no one wanted to benefit a third party.

At this time, they had no idea that the disappointment in their hearts would soon be resolved.

Even Qin Yu never thought that while he was mulling over how to eliminate the baldy and save Yun Shi, someone else already wanted to take his life.

Whoosh -

There was the sound of piercing air. The air was split apart at a high speed. Boundless and endless sword shadows appeared at the edge of the horizon. They raced forward at incredible speed, their momentum shocking!

"Transcendent Sword cultivator!" A cultivator cried out loud, dread on his face.

When it came to offensive abilities, sword cultivators were amongst the most tyrannical existences.

And the Transcendent Sword Dao focused on one shot kills. They were ruthless and domineering, their attacks aiming to immediately take a person's life.

So in non-essential situations, no one wanted to provoke a Transcendent Sword cultivator who could take their life in one strike.

"Qin Yu!"

Suddenly, there was a loud cry from the endless sword shadows.

Without reason, Flare Wing subconsciously looked up at Qin Yu.

His intuition told him that Soaring Sky's target was this person!

Bang -

Torrential sword shadows slashed down. The extremely sharp killing intent surged forth like a wave, as if it wanted to cut apart the mystic realm itself.

Flare Wing's eyes brightened. It was true!

Qin Yu lifted a hand and punched out. Where his fist landed, space twisted like a giant rock crashing into a lake, producing turbulent waves. The ripples spread in all directions, wrapping around the endless sword shadows that roared around him.

The sword shadows and warping space collided, producing thundering rumbles. It was like deep explosions were ringing out from underground, causing the mind to tremble.

Soaring Sky revealed himself. He looked at Qin Yu standing on the ancient tree and intense fighting spirit burned in his eyes, "You are strong!"

His first strike might have been a probing one, but it was still full of his killing intent. Not even an Origin God cultivator would be able to receive it easily.

Qin Yu had hurriedly reacted, his fist shaking the void and forming a tide that swallowed the attack. Just this one blow was already extraordinary.

"Who are you?"

"Transcendent Sword Sect, Soaring Sky." His expression was cold and dense, "Please enlighten me!"

Bang -

The sword in his hand left its sheath, its cry ringing through all sides.

The surrounding cultivators all widened their eyes. There was shock and also unconcealed excitement.

If the cultivators that intruded into the Land of Disorder could be ranked by their fame, then Soaring Sky wouldn't be in the top three.

But if it came to unparalleled fighting strength and slaughter potential, he was undoubtedly one of the most terrifying existences.

After being targeted by Soaring Sky, no one favored Qin Yu. This was the overwhelming impression that cultivators of the Transcendent Sword Sect had left on everyone these past years.

But they were still shaken like before, because Soaring Sky drew his sword!

It had to be known that from the time Soaring Sky came to prominence, he rarely drew his sword when he encountered an enemy. And every person who died beneath his blade had been an absolute powerhouse.

Most of the time, Soaring Sky only drew his blade during the end of the battle when his fighting spirit was aroused.

But today, before the battle had even begun, Soaring Sky had drawn his sword.

Then there was only one explanation, that Qin Yu was so strong that even the arrogant Transcendent Sword cultivator had to put forth his complete strength.

Fight! Fight with all your strength. It's better if they both end up severely wounded!

As for what the reason was for these two people fighting, the crowd didn't know and didn't care. As long as the result was beneficial to them then that was all that mattered.

Qin Yu's complexion was a bit ugly. This wasn't because he feared this sword cultivator, but the random and completely inexplicable battle had ruined his plans.

What was the reason?

He had never met this person, so why did Soaring Sky shout out his name and challenge him to a battle without a hint of hesitation?

For Soaring Sky to have his current cultivation, he couldn't be an idiot. Did he not know that he would only be taken advantage of after fighting against him today? Unless…there were enough benefits that drove him to take these risks.

Qin Yu looked at the unconscious Yun Shi and his face darkened even further. He said in a cold voice, "Ruan Jing, come out!"

With a chuckle, space distorted and a person walked out. It was the blue-robed Ruan Jing, holding a book in his hand with a refined and elegant air around him. He looked at Qin Yu with acclaim and said, "Sir Qin really is smart. I love being friends with smart people the most. If you agree with my previous proposal, we can turn swords into plowshares and make all of this into a humorous story we speak about in the future. I wonder if Sir Qin agrees?"

It really was him!

Qin Yu felt regret. If he knew this would happen earlier, he would have taken the risks and tried to kill this person on the spot.

This man had returned today and was even working with this Transcendent Sword Sect cultivator. Qin Yu feared things would spiral out of control.

Agreeing was impossible…Qin Yu's eyes flashed with cruelty. If this was the case, he could only take a risk!

Bang -

In response to Ruan Jing, Qin Yu roared out loud and punched. The phantom of an Abyssal Titan appeared in the void behind him, its face roaring at the skies in anger.

Ruan Jing's complexion changed and he crossed his arms together, raising his book like a shield. A moment later, there was a terrifying eruption.

A golden page flew out from the book. It ignited on its way out, leaving texts that surged with blue light.

Space collapsed and Ruan Jing was sent hurtling away. His complexion paled and there was a furious expression on his face.

He had indeed felt an intense threat coming from Qin Yu, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to leave when they met last time.

But the power behind this punch was far greater than he expected. He had no choice but to burn a page of the Academy's treasure so that he would be able to retreat.

Bang -

A sword roared and Soaring Sky walked over without expression, "Qin Yu, your opponent is me!"

He lifted his sword and cut down. There was no change in space, but an extremely terrifying feeling rose in the hearts of all sword cultivators who saw this. It was as if this sword could cut anyone in half.

Even if…it was them!

The moment this thought appeared, fear exploded in their hearts and they all took a step backwards. Panic rose on the faces of the sword cultivators.

What a terrifying sword!

Flare Wind had a dignified look in his eyes. The depths of his eyes were crimson, as if countless flames burned there.

He felt a fatal threat from this sword.

Transcendent Sword cultivator…they really lived up to their reputation. This person would be one of his most terrifying opponents in this mystic realm!

Could this be a chance?

After Soaring Sky killed Qin Yu, he would inevitably fall into a weakened state.

Flare Wind maintained his calm, but the flames in his eyes only grew brighter!

That's right, in the eyes of this Ash Flame Lineage descendant, a Transcendent Sword cultivator that could release such a terrifying strike could easily kill Qin Yu.

Even if he was strong!

Because the level of this sword had almost risen to the boundary of following the Dao. This was why it gave off such a terrifying feeling to those that watched.

Their strength might be the same, but the difference in boundaries could still lead to a terrifying eruption of strength. How could Qin Yu not die?

It wasn't just Flare Wind who had this thought. Almost every other cultivator was thinking the same thing.

But Soaring Sky was an exception!

Even now, after releasing that terrifying sword strike and shocking every cultivator present, for some reason he didn't feel relaxed at all when he looked at Qin Yu.

Instead, as this sword strike was released, he became increasingly dignified…even faintly feeling as if he was being suppressed.

From the moment he saw the path and stepped through the doors of the Sword Dao, he had never once had this feeling before.

Qin Yu made his move. Facing this sword strike that could pass through all things and cut down everything, he only lifted a hand and pressed a finger forward.

In the abyss, Qin Yu saw the world. What he saw was the skies of the abyss and also the origin of the abyss.

Of course, he wasn't Feature and didn't see as clearly as she did. But this didn't mean he was without harvests.

He entered the deepest depths of the abyss, traversed the terrifying Cold Sea and plunged into the vortex that destroyed everything. In the very depths, he found where light was born, and thus found the channel that returned him to the vast brightness world.

In that channel, Qin Yu was caught between two great worlds, imprisoned between light and darkness. There he gained a body that was enlightened about the duality of light and darkness.

But he never told anyone that when he comprehended the light and darkness, another terrifying thought emerged from the depths of his heart that he couldn't suppress.

The vast brightness and the abyss. These two great worlds stood opposite of each other, but what was their relationship?

If any cultivator who knew about the vast brightness and the abyss learned of Qin Yu's thoughts, they would definitely treat him as a lunatic.

They were complete polar opposites, like water and fire, and these two worlds should be each other's mortal enemies! But reality told Qin Yu that his thoughts were likely true…

Because what he gained from viewing the abyss world was still valid after returning to the vast brightness. He even felt that beneath their surface, they were essentially the same.

Of course, they weren't completely the same, but to the current Qin Yu that was more than enough to use this.

If this Transcendent Sword cultivator's strike gave off an incomparably terrifying feeling, as if all things in the world would be cut apart…

Then Qin Yu's finger was absolute cruelty and horror, destroying all and plunging everything into the abyss.

As this finger fell, a clear fingerprint appeared in space. It shattered the void, turning it into darkness.

And with this fingerprint at the center, cracks spread out in all directions. Then, an extremely terrifying sight occurred.

Space began to shatter. It wasn't just a small crack. Rather, it was like a mirror that was slammed into the ground. It instantly broke into countless pieces that formed a horrifying black space storm!

It roared out like a bursting river. All of the space fragments were caught within it as it surged out, tearing apart everything in its path.

Qin Yu had one finger called the Blue Point.

It could call the wind and rain, summon heroic spirits, and spur the vicissitudes of life…but when this finger transformed into its final state, it pointed directly at the secrets of space.

Or to be more precise, this was a killing technique that used space!

Perhaps in terms of pure killing power, the Blue Point Finger might not be strong, but what it touched were the Space Laws that existed in all things.

So this led to the terrifying scene of Qin Yu shattering space with nothing but a single finger.

As for the terrifying sword strike, it was submerged within the space storm. Heaven-shaking rumbles spread out, before everything returned to tranquility.

It wasn't that the strength of the space storm could easily destroy it. Rather, that terrifying sword strike was exiled by the Space Laws. Perhaps it was sent to some distant world where its terrifying might would be released.

But this had nothing to do with Qin Yu.

At this moment, the world fell into absolute silence.

Countless eyes looked at Qin Yu, all of them wide with shock.

As if they had seen a ghost!
