Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Mu Qingluan respectfully said, "Fellow daoist Zuo, please rest for a moment and leave this to us."

As she spoke, she eagerly looked over.

Li Mingxuan was a bit angry, but his anger rapidly faded away. It was then replaced by heroic and valorous spirit.

"Miss Mu, please rest assured that as long as I am here, I will not allow this ugly and horrible demon beast to harm you in the slightest."

Humph!

Surname Zuo, I'll remember this!

He lifted a hand and thrust out. The Hundred Sword Boat began to shake as it started to contract on itself, becoming thinner and thinner until it transformed into a horrifyingly large sword.

Black slaughter energy tumbled around, almost condensing into essence. Lifelike phantoms appeared, rearing back their heads and sadly howling into the air.

Forging the boat from swords, the boat was also a sword!

Although they were only remnants, a hundred remnants made one whole. It was unknown how much slaughter and blood those swords had been tainted by. When gathered together, one could imagine the power they contained.

A sword slashed out, slaughter energy overflowing through the world. Before it fell, it had already seized the heart and mind of the enemy!

The seven-eyed demon spider shrilly screamed. With a loud screech, one of its thick legs had broken apart.

Whoosh -

Like a sharp arrow, it flew straight towards the Hundred Sword Boat!

There was a loud clash. The spider leg violently trembled for a moment, lasting for a second before cracks spread throughout it and it shattered into countless shards that flew forward.

The seven-eyed demon spider already seemed to expect this. It instantly lay down in place and hid its legs and soft abdomen beneath its thick shell.

Ding ding -

Dang dang -

Like a storm of hail, countless pits appeared on the surface of the seven-eyed demon spider's carapace, leaving behind plain white marks.

Li Mingxuan seemed to suffer a great loss. When he dodged in a panic, not only had his robes been torn open in several areas but a long gash had been opened on his face.

And what enraged him the most was that no blood flowed out from the wound on his face. Rather, a faint trace of numbness began to quickly spread outwards.

His handsome face began to swell and darken at a speed visible to the n.a.k.e.d eye. A moment later, his beautiful and scholarly face had turned into that of an ugly pig's head.

At this time, Li Mingxuan experienced a true apocalyptic rage. With a roar, the Hundred Sword Boat shrank once more, becoming only twice the size of a normal flying sword. But, the aura it emitted was terrifying to the extreme.

The tumbling slaughter energy completely condensed into mist. Ferocious spirits seemed to gather in the mist, constantly roaring and swirling about.

Tiny cracks began to appear in the space around the Hundred Sword Boat. The small world itself seemed as if it couldn't withstand its strength at this moment.

Zuo Lanyue's pupils shrunk, shaking a little. He never expected that Li Mingxuan would possess such strength.

Mu Qingluan was startled. A bit of regret appeared in her eyes. This was because she could have used this as a hidden trump card in her hand.

Within the green poison gas, Qin Yu revealed a dignified expression. If he were to face this strike of Li Mingxuan's without preparation, it would definitely be difficult for him.

Indeed, none of those that had the qualifications to arrive here were people who were easy to deal with. He had to be more cautious.

But if he was aware, Li Mingxuan's Hundred Sword Boat could only be considered a threat, not a true hidden danger.

This was an important reason why Qin Yu had the sudden inspiration to hide in the poison gas.

Know yourself, know your enemy, and be undefeated in a hundred battles. These commander-level demon beasts possessed a tyrannical strength. If these people had to fight them, even if they wished to hide their abilities, they would still be forced to reveal a little bit of their true skills.

None of these people had any good intent towards him. To understand them more would only bring advantages and no harm.

With Li Mingxuan attacking in frenzied rage, the full might of the Hundred Sword Boat erupted. The seven-eyed demon spider was immediately beaten backwards and struck repeatedly. Only four of its original eight legs were left.

But, it seemed to possess powerful regenerative abilities. Soon new legs grew in place of the old. It was just that these new legs were paler in color, clearly much more fragile and only able to support movement.

"Evil creature, die!"

Li Mingxuan roared out loud. His momentum was unparalleled, but when one looked at his swelled up and blackened face, one couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The Hundred Boat Sword shrank further, becoming even smaller than a normal flying sword. The slaughter energy tumbling on its surface had ignited, turning into gray flames.

These flames were similar to Zhou Fenghuang's Dark Phoenix flames. They were cold and without any heat, but they were even gloomier and cloudier. Just looking at them made one feel a cold chill pass through them!

Shua -

The Hundred Sword Boat chopped out. The gray flames condensed into a line, their speed faster than lightning.

The seven-eyed demon spider had such a name because it had seven eyes. Three on each side and one in the middle.

The six eyes on the sides were open all year round and were used to see things. But the eye in the center was closed at all times. This was where the true terror lay.

This eye was named the Samsara Eye. It was said to possess the power of opening the channel of Samsara and banishing the soul.

Even if it wasn't as terrifying as the rumors, if someone was struck by this supernatural art, if their soul didn't scatter then they would at least be grievously wounded and it would be hard to tell if they would survive.

It had to be known that the soul was the source of a living being's intelligence and wisdom. If the source was damaged, even if they didn't die, their future road would be severed.

Now, feeling the intense crisis coming from the sword, the seven-eyed demon spider screamed out loud. Its six side eyes closed and the middle eye trembled before splitting open.

Within Li Mingxuan's chest that was boiling over with endless fury and rage, there was a sudden shaking. Fear swelled up from the depths of his heart and a cold sweat drenched his body.

Without any hesitation, he dropped backwards. In the next instant, a white light flashed across the tip of his nose.

Li Mingxuan's was covered in a cold sweat. Although he hadn't touched it, he could feel the unimaginably great terror emanating from that white light.

This was a power capable of thoroughly exterminating him without giving him any strength to resist!

The seven-eyed demon spider's seventh eye…

Fear filled his heart. In his anger he had forgotten that this sort of demon beast possessed the most terrifying kind of strength.

Fortunately he had responded quickly enough, otherwise he would have suffered a tragic ending already!

Zhou Fenghuang had a cold sneer on her lips. She raised her hands and the true flames of the Dark Phoenix sprinkled down, freezing everything they touched and forcing the demon stone giant back more and more.

Although she had the advantage because her strength naturally restrained the demon beast's, all commander-level demon beasts were formidable beings that no one dared to underestimate. For her to accomplish this was truly praiseworthy.

When it came to Zhao Qianyun, it was true that there was a degree of acting when she revealed an utterly enthralled and obsessed appearance towards him. But if she said she wasn't moved at least a little, she would only be lying to herself.

If she could catch his attention today, it would naturally be for the best.

Thinking of this, Zhou Fenghuang became even more calm and relaxed. There was a certain charm to her every action and movement. As she stood atop the majestic Phoenix Luan Car, she was really like a phoenix fairy descended from the highest heavens.

But what a pity, there was a burden behind her…

Sun Zifu was…decent. While he was a little clever, he wasn't someone that truly knew how to hide his depths. If she were to commit to him, she could become her own master in the future and even indirectly control the massive ship that was the Sun Family.

Wealth moved the hearts of the people. When wealth surpassed a certain limit, there was no one that would underestimate it.

The Sun Family had the qualifications to not be belittled by anyone!

Zhou Fenghuang had once hesitated. She had even advised herself that Sun Zifu wasn't a bad choice. But, she still felt unwillingness in her heart.

As she thought about these things, a greatly terrifying sense arrived in her mind!

Zhou Fenghuang was shocked and terrified. Her pitch black eyes fiercely looked up. She could see a blurry white light howling towards her from the distance.

And the one who shot out this white light was…the seven-eyed demon spider!

Her soul shivered and screamed, informing her about the terror of this white light. If she were to touch it, there was no way she would emerge unscathed!

Her feet moved but then she paused. This was because she suddenly thought of Sun Zifu; he was right behind her.

If she were to evade, then with his strength, there was no chance of him escaping through luck.

In other words…he would likely die!

A trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but it was only a trace. Zhou Fenghuang had designs on the ancient tree monster, so she couldn't allow herself to be severely wounded ahead of time, perhaps even having her future ruined or perishing here.

So, her figure flickered and she fluttered away.

Sun Zifu's eyes widened. He looked at the white light howling towards him. There was stunned shock in his eyes that was gradually displaced by pure fear.

At this moment, his mind blanked.

Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the edge of his vision. It rapidly raced forward, moving in front of the white light and reaching a hand forward.

Qin Yu could feel his entire body turn cold. It was like he had fallen into an eternal cave of ice. His mortal body, soul, everything trembled in this chilling cold.

Within his soul space, faint traces of white frost appeared, rapidly spreading outwards. The white light hung in midair, ripples spreading out.

At this moment, Qin Yu could feel an extremely potent threat, as if the world was collapsing around him.

And the source of this threat came from the ripples emanating from around the white light. It was as if something mind-bogglingly terrifying was about to appear.

Unfortunately, Qin Yu didn't allow…well, to be more accurate, it was the existences within his soul space that didn't allow this threat to appear.

With a flash of brilliance, the Cosmic Seacross Bell vanished. Meimei's eyes flew open and she looked at the white light, sticking out her pink little tongue and licking her lips.

Suddenly, her complexion changed and she huffily said, "You dare to steal it from me!?"

Her small hands grasped forward!

What a pity, the movements of the purple moon were even faster. The light it sprinkled down immediately swept away half the white light.

In the blink of an eye, the white light that had caused frost to appear in Qin Yu's soul space and that was preparing to unleash some titanic move was cleanly divided in two.

After obtaining half of the white light, Meimei clenched her jaws. "Give it back to me!"

The purple moon remained silent. Or perhaps it disdained to even respond.

After standing there was a gloomy expression, Meimei coldly snorted. She swallowed the white light and then returned to her main body's original appearance.

From beginning to end, there was not a single chance for Qin Yu to make a move. To be more blunt, before he could even respond, the crisis had been resolved.
