Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 287

Chapter 287 – Live Together

In a short period of time, this fellow’s strength had actually risen to such an astonis.h.i.+ng level? It seemed that he had considerable harvests from the spirit spring . But as the female cultivator thought of this, the look in her eyes became even stranger . When did the spirit springs exclusively used by monster beasts become something that human cultivators could step into?

Qin Yu’s fist came smas.h.i.+ng out, sending the corrupt wind wolf leaping towards him cras.h.i.+ng away . Although another wound appeared on Qin Yu’s body, he actually saved himself a breath of time .

He landed on the ground and continued racing forwards . Terrifying strength rumbled all around him, breaking apart everything that blocked his way . With the monster beast curse cast on them, he and the female cultivator were like blazing bonfires in the night . It was simply impossible to hide from the monster beasts, so they might as well just haphazardly break through .

Another monster beast appeared . It was an even more formidable black bear . The ground trembled in its wake and it didn’t stop at all, choosing to directly collide with Qin Yu .

Kacha –

Qin Yu’s chest was depressed inward, numerous bones broken . The black bear’s claw had struck him and only after spitting out a mouthful of blood did his chest feel a little better . Of course, his large opponent was even worse off . That black bear’s vigorous head had twisted back at a comical angle, its neck completely crushed . Its ma.s.sive body crashed to the ground .

“Hah, what a waste, how many points is that…” A voice behind Qin Yu sighed .

Qin Yu’s lips twitched . The hand that was holding onto her legs moved for a moment, but in the end he didn’t slap her .

The female cultivator raised an eyebrow . “What, you’ve taken advantage of me enough?”

Qin Yu had a helpless expression . “Big sister, aren’t you afraid of dying?”

The female cultivator’s face stiffened . “What did you call me?”

Qin Yu forced a smile but chose not to answer her anymore . He continued howling forwards .

The female cultivator fell silent . She looked down at Qin Yu’s bloodstained body and her eyes softened a little . This fellow, although he was a little lascivious and a little rascally, at least he had some semblance of conscience . He knew that this old lady didn’t like being hurt, so he didn’t add more wounds to her .

But even if she wasn’t injured, she also couldn’t last much longer . Rather than maintaining a feeble existence for a short period of time, she could display the last flickering light of a candle before she died out and take several monster beasts with her to the grave .

Humph humph, this old lady wasn’t moved and nor did she want to go all out to rescue this b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s life!

“In a moment rush straight forwards . Ignore how many monster beasts there are; I’ll take care of however many come . ” The female cultivator lightly said . Her tone had finally changed, no longer irritating .

Qin Yu’s eyes brightened . Before he could even turn and say something, a hand slapped the top of his head . “Don’t waste time . Hurry up and rush forwards . Giddy up!”

Are you riding a horse big sister…?

One of Qin Yu’s feet weakened and he nearly stumbled to the ground . He took a deep breath and his heart started to beat vigorously .

Bang –

Dirt splashed out in all directions . Every time he took a step forwards, a deep footprint was left behind with cracks spreading out from it .

Qin Yu was like a ma.s.sive boulder bouncing forwards, cras.h.i.+ng past everything .

Roar –

The loud and cruel roars of monster beasts echoed in his heart . He could smell a horrific stench around him . Qin Yu lowered his head and ignored everything occurring around him . He only ran forwards, running, running, running!

Of course, he didn’t trust her just because of a few words she said . Rather, he believed his own eyes . This woman who had fought with two formidable monster beasts couldn’t be simple at all!

And reality proved that Qin Yu’s judgment was correct . The woman on his back straightened her body . Her chest tensed, revealing a heart-stirring arc .

She looked down at Qin Yu, a helpless smile on her face . What a lascivious young man . But at this time, it was no longer worth haggling over him about this .

She looked up and that faint helplessness vanished without a trace . All that remained was a calm tranquility, an aura that was n.o.ble and honorable started to flow out . It was like everything in her eyes was within her hands, destruction and prosperity her decision to make .

She raised a hand and brushed it across her eyes, gently and lightly pulling back her hair . Without any sign, without any spark, a monster beast with short black wool-like hair suddenly came to a stop in the air, like a fish frozen in ice . Then, in the next moment, this invisible ice quietly shattered .

Crash –

The fragments of the corpse fell to the ground, not a single drop of blood flowing out . The sections were broken off as clearly as a mirror, and the blood seemed as if it had become like jade . It was as if this extremely fierce monster beast was made of some sort of crystal .

Of course, this wasn’t the only monster beast that died . With loud cras.h.i.+ng sounds all around, Qin Yu raced forwards without stopping as a hail of frozen flesh and blood rained down around him .

Even the monster beasts driven here by the power of the curse began to feel fear . The savagery in their eyes started to abate and fill with awe instead .

Strength was respected . Strength was revered . In the world of monster beasts, there was no truer fact than this .

A fierce tiger monster turned to flee before it emitted a sudden cry of pain . Its over 20 foot long body was sent flying away, a ma.s.sive gaping wound in its chest and belly . Blood mixed with organs flew out and it crashed into the ground, soon about to die .

A large demon ape’s sharp claws were stained with blood . It glared at the surrounding monster beasts, forcing them to retreat in fear, and then rushed towards Qin Yu .

The female cultivator’s eyes fell upon the demon ape . Although there was a faint s.h.i.+mmer in her eyes, there was no alarm or fear . Rather, there was a bit of interest and even recognition . This marvelous gaze caused the demon ape, a creature known for its brutality and bloodthirstiness, to feel a cold chill rise in its heart . Then, it really did feel a chilling cold .

The demon ape tensed its body . Without surprise, in the next moment its giant body would erupt with a strength that could tear apart all . But at this time, the demon ape’s body gently trembled, as if it was s.h.i.+vering beneath an arctic wind . Then its tensed body shattered into countless crystal-like blocks, without a single trace of blood flowing out .

The female cultivator coughed several times . Her originally pale face now seemed to lack any bit of blood at all, as if her skin was formed from snow and ice . However, this only lent her an even more soul-stirring sense of beauty and n.o.bility . It was unknown what method she had used to kill that horrifyingly strong demon ape, but it was clear she had paid a great price . However, she was actually laughing . On her pale and bloodless face, there was a bright, bright smile . There was a hint of insanity in it, but also something that moved the heart .

Qin Yu revealed a helpless expression, but his mindset only became more dignified . He saw with his eyes as the woman killed two formidable monster beasts in a row and received heavy injuries in doing so . For her to utilize such a horrifying strength now, she surely had to pay an equally horrifying price . As he heard her laugh out loud, Qin Yu’s heart became heavier . But he didn’t turn around . Instead, he lowered his body and his legs erupted with a greater strength .

This strength surpa.s.sed the bearing limits of the Demon Body . Sounds started to ring out from his flesh and blood, accompanied by a tearing pain . But, Qin Yu remained silent, as if this agonizing pain wasn’t being inflicted upon his body .

The female cultivator’s eyebrows rose up . She looked at Qin Yu, her eyes widening . This fellow really did have a conscience . Since she was about to die soon and had never suffered a loss herself, she might as well let him take a bit of an advantage from her . Consider it a rare act of benevolence before this old lady died .

She lay on Qin Yu’s back, her chest pressed up against his broad and strong back . She frowned as she swayed uncomfortably from side to side a few times . She thought that this smelly man really wasn’t good to use; where was his soft and tender side? But this roughness, in this sort of environment, actually left her feeling calmer .

She let loose a deep breath and closed her eyes . Like this, she lay flat on Qin Yu’s back, as if she had fallen asleep . However, the monster beasts that approached and were then torn into pieces served as a constant reminder that this seemingly sleeping woman could release a terrifying strength at any given moment .

His feet trudged forwards . Stones broke apart, along with Qin Yu’s calf bone . However, his speed didn’t slow down at all, nor did he pause . He rushed through layers of vines and underbrush, listening to the weak and faint instructions of the woman on his back . She should be exhausted, because when she spoke she seemed out of breath . Thus, she moved her mouth close to Qin Yu and he could feel her warm breath itching on his ears .

Qin Yu pursed his lips . He tore through another layer of vines and finally heard the woman confirm, “It’s here . ” What the vines covered was a deep black hole . Wind whistled out from it . With a single glance, one could sense that it was unfathomably deep .

Qin Yu leapt in without hesitation . The sound of wind rose in his ears and then… . that was it . This was completely beyond his expectations . He didn’t prepare for such a short landing, so his incomparably stable figure staggered and nearly fell down . The woman on his back wildly laughed . She really didn’t fear death . Even at this time she had thoughts of playing such games .

In a corner of the cave, faint traces of light revolved . Although he couldn’t clearly see it because of the dark, Qin Yu’s wouldn’t mistake that aura . This was a transmission array .

They really reached the transmission array!

The woman on his back stopped laughing . “Put me down . During the transmission process, there cannot be any outside interference at all . ” There was already the howl of monster beasts echoing from the cave opening . It was clear that the pitch black entrance wouldn’t frighten them for long .

Qin Yu fell silent .

The woman lightly said, “What is there to hesitate about? It’s better for one person to live than for two people to die . If you really feel guilty, then come pay your respects to me here in the future and kill off a few thousand monster beasts while you’re at it . Consider it as taking revenge for me . ”

Qin Yu wryly smiled . “I don’t have that sort of strength . ”

The woman was angered, “Even if you don’t, it’s better for you to just promise me first so I feel gratified towards you! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be mad and make you stay behind so we both die together!”

Qin Yu smiled . “I thought you weren’t scared of death, but after hearing you speak so much drivel, I finally discover that you are . Well, then don’t die . We can live on together . ”

The woman coldly sneered . “You speak so eloquently . But there are many things you don’t know . I’m going to die, and there’s nothing you can do about it . ”

Qin Yu shook his head . “That might not be true . ” He flicked his sleeve and with a flash of light the Skythunder Bamboo appeared . Its roots drilled into the ground with a mind of their own, and then every branch and leaf erupted with dazzling arcs of lightning, forming a net that blocked out the cave opening .

The monster beasts’ roars were mixed in with additional anger and pain . It was clear that they suffered the taste of thunder after nearing the cave opening .

Qin Yu turned, a faint smile on his lips . “Now, let’s live on together . ”

The female cultivator’s pale face revealed a complex look . She gently sighed, “Then let’s live a bit longer . ”

After several breaths of time, the transmission array erupted with light . s.p.a.ce twisted and the figures of the two people vanished from sight .

In the next moment, the power of thunder contained within the Skythunder Bamboo thoroughly erupted . With a loud explosion, the transmission array was destroyed .
