Refining the Mountains and Rivers

…

The young man suddenly said, "I want to see just how long you can hide for!"

Supported by a Saint's power, the skies seemed to crack with thunder as his billowing voice spread throughout the world, constantly shaking the air.

He lifted a hand and pressed forward.

Bang -

With a heaven-shocking explosion, the ground collapsed and disintegrated. A terrifying strength crashed into the earth, turning everything within ten miles into powder.

When a Saint was angered, a river of blood would flow for a thousand miles!

With this blow, besides the various plant life that wasn't worth mentioning, every flesh and blood body caught in the radius was wiped out in despair.

The young man had no expression, as if he simply didn't realize the consequences of his actions. But even if he knew, he didn't care.

A Saint hovered above the highest heavens. Anything below them was nothing but ants!

This referred to not just both sides, but also a disparity in terms of strength and their level of life, and also a difference in attitude.

As a result, this young man could use this cruel and destructive method without any pressure on him, not hesitating to kill any living beings that got in his way.

When this strike was unsuccessful, the young man raised his hand and pressed down again. Another loud noise erupted as ten more miles of land was destroyed.

Bang -

Bang -

The explosions continued without end. The heavens and earth shook, all lives wailing in sorrow!

…

The cave quaked!

Qin Yu grimaced, his eyes shaking. He believed he wasn't some soft-hearted person, and in cultivating up until today, his hands had already been stained with blood. But, this sort of crazed killing still surpassed his limits.

Now, every shock that passed through the earth meant that countless creatures had been destroyed.

This was a Saint?

Yet soon, Qin Yu had no choice but to awaken himself from his shock.

Because he knew what the final goal of this Saint's reckless slaughter was.

Or to put it in crueler terms, these slaughtered creatures had been implicated by him and Peachy.

Of course, Qin Yu felt a little guilty, but he wouldn't be in pain from the sorrow.

Moreover, he wasn't in the mood to think about these things, because this Saint was strong and the speed at which he destroyed things was too fast. Most importantly, his judgment was based on Qin Yu's initial subconscious psychological mindset of avoiding things, so it wouldn't take too long until that dangerous attack came.

He had misjudged. If he knew this would happen, he would have changed directions or even gone in the complete opposite direction. But it was too late to regret. The key issue was what should he do when that time arrived?

Go all-out? That idea could be tossed to the side. Qin Yu had no strategy he could think of that would ensure victory. He could only think of a way to run away or delay for more time.

He glanced at the still unconscious Peachy. His first thought was that perhaps he should try something else.

For instance…quietly circling around the mountain, going in the opposite direction, and then exposing himself to attract the Saint there. That might be able to buy some more time.

But this thought occurred for just an instant before it was suppressed. He had no idea whether or not this Saint who had been fooled multiple times already would be tricked once again, but even if that worked, would Qin Yu be able to escape?

Even if he grasped the Space Laws, if he were to face a Saint who also grasped the Space Laws, using them in front of him would be nothing but courting death!

He feared that just as he made a move, that Saint would arrive and he would be done for.

And it wasn't just Qin Yu; he also had to bring Peachy. Otherwise, because she wasn't able to conceal her aura on her own while she was unconscious, she would rapidly be locked onto.

Since he couldn't try to fool the Saint again, he could only make a bet on his luck.

The good news was that the sun and moon force field was effective. It perfectly shielded their auras so that the Saint could only use this method.

Moreover, because he subconsciously wanted to hide further, he had flown a little longer in the rain. There was still some distance from where the Saint was now.

Although every strike destroyed a ten mile radius of land, if he was lucky enough, those explosions would take a long time to reach where he was.

Perhaps by that time, the Spring Master would have already arrived!

That would certainly be the best ending. But a sober and logical person couldn't plan for the best possible outcome to occur every time.

Moreover, such a long time had passed and the Spring Master still hadn't caught up to them. Perhaps there was some problem he wasn't aware of.

So if he wanted to continue living, he could only rely on himself.

He couldn't hide and he couldn't flee. If he wanted to live…with so many limiting conditions placed on him, there was only one possible way left.

To kill a Saint!

It was a simple, direct, and powerful solution.

As long as this Saint died, Peachy and Qin Yu would naturally survive.

When he killed Lian Yi before, he had taken advantage of him when he was in a difficult situation. But for better or worse, he was still a Saint Slayer.

So Qin Yu dared to think about this. He not only dared, but he began to quietly deduce the probability of success.

Within the rank of Saints, there were the strong and the weak. And, the difference between them was astonishing.

No matter what, Lian Yi couldn't compare with the Saint behind the shadow. But, what Qin Yu didn't know was that the Saint himself had arrived, otherwise he wouldn't necessarily have had such bold and audacious thoughts.

So the phrase 'those who know nothing fear nothing', besides being used to taunt and ridicule others, also had another meaning - if Qin Yu wasn't fearless, he wouldn't have thought of being a 'Dual Saint Slayer', and another story might have occurred.

No one knew whether he and Peachy would survive, but in terms of excitement, intensity, and enthusiasm, this 'fearless' version was definitely better.

Killing a Saint was never a simple matter, but since Qin Yu had previous experience, he was someone who had the right to speak about it.

So after having this thought, he didn't let his blood rush to his head and think he could do whatever he wanted.

To kill someone, first he had to look at his own cards. The Light and Dark Body was certainly the most powerful method Qin Yu possessed right now.

But facts proved that when it came to a Saint that chased after him, this card could only withstand one punch. At most it would withstand two punches before collapsing.

Trying to kill someone with this card was no different than delivering his head on a platter. It wasn't something he could depend on.

Besides this card, did he have any other methods?

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows. Just as he bitterly smiled, thinking that he had the ambition but no practical ability to accomplish it, Peachy woke up.

There was no conversation, only an indifferent expression. She glanced at Qin Yu and seemed to guess his thoughts.

"You want to kill him?"

Qin Yu nodded and forced a smile, "There's no other way. The Spring Master and elder senior-apprentice brother still haven't arrived. Some problem should have occurred."

As he spoke he pointed outside the cave. "Senior-apprentice sister, listen to that sound, that sound is the Saint searching for us. Although we are safe for the time being, it is only a matter of time until we are found…no matter what, we should make preparations so that when we need to go all-out, we don't end up empty-handed."

Peachy didn't ask any questions. She slapped her forehead with the back of her hand. Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat as a phantom shook and came out from her body.

Before, when a similar phantom broke apart, Qin Yu hadn't been able to clearly see things because of issues with the transmission vortex. But now it was clear. This phantom looked exactly like Peachy. At this moment, the phantom looked at Qin Yu with an indifferent expression. This look was even the same as hers!

Before Qin Yu could regain his composure, there was another soft slap. Peachy shook as a second phantom came out from her body.

"This is the limit." After leaving behind these words, Peachy closed her eyes and fainted.

The two phantoms of Peachy stepped forward in unison. Qin Yu reached out a hand and a bead fell onto it, two peach blossoms rotating within.

Looking at the bead in his palm, Qin Yu frowned. After breaking a phantom before, Peachy had undergone a massive change. Now that two broke…there were sure to be issues!

He subconsciously gripped the bead and took a deep breath, a cloudy look in his eyes. Coming this far in his life, he could consider himself a capable person, yet he still needed his own woman to go all-out to save him. He really was too much of a failure.

Alright. Saying that wasn't completely appropriate, but the approximate meaning wasn't wrong. Even so, Qin Yu wasn't in a good mood.

Kill him!

He would definitely kill him!

When Peachy shattered a phantom, she had managed to block the shadow's strike and help the two smoothly withdraw. Now that two phantoms had condensed into this bead, it was naturally much stronger.

If he included the Light and Darkness Domain, that was the equivalent of having two cards he could fight with.

Perhaps because his killing intent was stronger, his thoughts became increasingly active. Since the Saint fought with the mountain beast for an entire night, he definitely wasn't in his strongest state. Plus, with the continuous attacks he was releasing, he definitely had to suffer some losses for this.

An opponent's inferiority was one's own advantage. Without a doubt, this would increase his chances of success. But even so, this wasn't enough. If he could easily kill a Saint like this, then a so-called Saint was too simple.

Qin Yu tapped his forehead, "What plan do you have?" The one he was asking was Old Turtle. As more time passed, he believed that risking his life to bring Old Turtle back to the vast brightness world from the abyss was one of the best decisions he had made.

Old Turtle bitterly smiled. "Master, I acknowledge that my background is epic and amazing, but I am a shadow. At most, I am an unordinary shadow. But a shadow is still a shadow, and I cannot represent the abilities of my main body. My powers are lacking. Being master's eyes and ears isn't a problem, but to kill a Saint…the difficulty of this is too great. If this Saint can fight that mountain for an entire night and not die, there really isn't much I can do against someone so strong!"

Qin Yu's eyes didn't waver, "Is there really no way?"

"Master, slaying a Saint is too dangerous. If there is any other path to take, we shouldn't do this." Old Turtle sputtered out, "After thinking all night, I finally came up with a way to deceive the Saint and leave this place."

"Tell me."
