Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1696 – You Are Dead

Qin Yu's face was full of respect and he looked like he had received a lot of teachings while battling with Sect Master Gu. Then, he cupped his hands in the direction where Sect Master Gu left.

This scene made those swordsmen who were watching from outside the entrance grit their teeth. They wanted to shout: shameless thief, return this good opportunity back to me!

You were fighting a huge battle with Sect Master Gu in the small world. You may have had the best time of your life and are now feeling refreshed, but we didn't manage to get a single glimpse.

Thinking about that terrifying sword intent earlier and Sect Master Gu's calm demeanor and comments, the audience became even more furious.

Why was the Sect Master being generous? He should have directly chopped this shameless thief into two pieces to extinguish the hatred in their hearts.

However, thinking about it now, if Qin Yu died just like that, the Three Trials of Sword Bestowing would have ended directly and then they would have really wasted a trip in coming down here.

What a dilemma!

They could only grit their teeth and scold him in their hearts, 'We'll let you live a little longer; when the Spring Wind Sword Sect's Sword Immortal Li Sumu takes action, your head will be rolling on the ground soon enough.'

Then, they thought again, this shameless thief would not use the same trick and pull out his small world once more to obstruct their view, right?

While the audience was worried about this, a light breeze swept past them. It felt like the branches of a willow tree were caressing one's face and there was the smell of spring in the air.

Qin Yu blinked and suddenly, there was a figure in front of him. It was an incomparably handsome man. Like a sun in the sky, he was shining so bright that it made people feel inferior.

Even though Qin Yu never really cared about his own appearance, at this moment he could not help but feel a little bit envious. It was just a fleeting thought but it caused him to smile bitterly inside. He thought to himself, 'it is unreasonable and illogical for someone to be this good-looking; it's making even me feel bad.'

Thinking about it, since he was young, this person probably did not have many friends of the same gender.

And…how was his waist so slender?!

Li Sumu was not unfamiliar with the kind of glances he was getting from Qin Yu. "Qin Yu from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect, if you have no other objections, I am going to carry out the Sword Bestowing now."

Qin Yu's heart sank a little bit. He felt like Li Sumu's tone was cold, and the expression in his eyes was even colder. Could it be that Rourou's plans did not go well, or could it be that this person had seen what happened in the previous Sword Bestowing and was feeling angry and unhappy?

Intuition told Qin Yu that it was the latter.

However…I feel so wronged. I didn't mean to be so pompous, even if this Sword Immortal is unhappy, he should be finding Sect Master Gu!

Without giving any more opportunities for Qin Yu to bitterly complain to himself, Li Sumu slashed outwards when he did not get a response.

Whoosh –

Fine beads of sweat instantly formed on Qin Yu's forehead. A sword shadow roared past his ear and slashed into the distance.

Hong-long-long –

Behind Qin Yu, a loud rumbling rang out. A tall mountain that was sitting outside the Opening Heavens Sword Sect was instantly split in half.

The ground began to shake and rubble started to fall from the edges of the mountain. The swordsmen who were situated there started to escape hurriedly. However, they did not dare to show an ounce of dissatisfaction on their faces. Instead, their eyes were bright and their hearts were filled with excitement!

This person is from my generation of swordsmen, my generation of swordsmen!

This was what real style looked like!

With just one sword slash, mountains were split and the ground cracked. Everyone looked at him with admiration.

However, unfortunately, Sword Immortal Li's attack had missed its mark and did not manage to hit Qin Yu. Otherwise, he would have already been decapitated on the spot!

It was alright, though, because to the audience this was a good thing. Many people could only dream of seeing Sword Immortal Li's sword slashing out again.

No matter the result, just being able to see him slash out twice would be worth coming all the way here today for.

Just when everyone's eyes widened in anticipation for Li Sumu to continue slashing with his sword, he turned around, and with one step forward, he disappeared.

Everything was silent.

Everyone's eyes were still wide, but this time, it was in disbelief.

This…this…this…

This was probably what it meant to have one's thoughts in a jumble such that one could not speak for a while.

Li Sumu just left like that?

What is the meaning of this? What was the meaning of this Sword Bestowing? What are Swallow Mountain's rules for and what was the whole point of this Sword Bestowing? This was purely a slap to everyone's face; how could they put up with this?!

The silence continued on.

This made Swallow Mountain's swordsmen realize that they could indeed put up with this.

What was the alternative?

Confront Spring Wind Sword Sect and interrogate them? Or directly confront Li Sumu? Don't bother with it, they would rather stay alive!

During this long and awkward silence, the corners of Qin Yu's lips twitched a bit. He could not help but feel that these two people whom he met during the Sword Bestowing today were quite interesting.

Sect Master Gu was still alright, but Li Sumu's way of doing things really put the pressure on him.

Now, the gazes of the swordsmen who were watching slowly gathered on Qin Yu and they looked at him, full of bitterness and hatred.

It was almost as if it was because of him that Swallow Mountain, the sacred ground for swordsmanship, had to undergo something as embarrassing as this.

Even though that was indeed the truth, they should also think about how innocent I am!

Qin Yu resisted the urge to raise his hand and rub his face. He coughed lightly and cupped his hands, "Thank you Sword Immortal Li for the Sword Bestowing; you were going easy on me."

Do not care about the rest, let's just make sure the outcome is clear to everyone!

The next moment, the gazes that were focused on him turned into knives. The audience wanted to crush Qin Yu into pieces very badly.

Before the Sword Bestowing began, who would have thought that this situation would have unfolded? Now, there was only one obstacle left for the Opening Heavens Sword Sect to successfully reopen.

Sect Master Hu Fu of the Circling Heavens Sword Sect stood up. The disciples behind him knelt down at the same time, "We send you off, Grandmaster!"

The corners of Jin Geng's lips twitched a little, thinking to himself that these words of courtesy sounded slightly inauspicious. Fortunately, Old Ancestor had already ordered someone to send the Sky Breaking Sword to Hu Fu. Combined with Hu Fu's cultivation level and the Opening Heavens Sword Skill, he was now unrivaled.

Even before this battle began, Hu Fu was already invincible.

Thinking about this, some resentment appeared in the depths of Jin Geng's eyes. This was the first time after he had used his substitute treasure that day to save his own life that he showed his true feelings.

However, it was fleeting!

"Sect Master, you will definitely be victorious!" Jin Geng smiled and cupped his hands.

Hu Fu nodded and stepped out. His figure instantly disappeared.

Hong-long-long –

The space at the Opening Heavens Sword Sect's entrance suddenly shattered. A terrifying sword intent swept across, and countless cracks started to appear in the air.

They were very fine, and they looked like pairs of eyes that suddenly opened, making people feel uneasy and scared.

Hu Fu walked out of this hole in the space.

At this moment, it was deathly silent.

It was different from the silence just now. The audience was silent because they could feel the pressure of a mountain weighing down on them so heavily that even breathing was difficult. Staring at how the Circling Heavens Sword Sect's Hu Fu had descended and directly broke the space, they could only scream in their hearts.

They could feel the thick and heavy killing intent in the air, like roaring waves that tumbled down continuously layer by layer.

Even if his target was not them, they could still feel it no matter how far away they were. It was as if they were on the edge of an abyss of destruction that was going to swallow them the next moment.

So strong! So terrifying!

Hu Fu's explosive killing intent was not unexpected, however. After all, the relationship between the Circling Heavens Sword Sect and the Opening Heavens Sword Sect was not a secret in Swallow Mountain.

Amongst the quivering fear and terror the Swallow Mountain's swordsmen were experiencing, they roared, "Qin Yu, this time, you are dead!"

When it came to the incomparably powerful and murderous Sect Master Hu Fu, they could not see a possibility of him missing his shot at all.
