Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1112 – The Time of Death Arrives

The three people within the Dominion had no idea what was happening outside, but there was one point that was without doubt – the Dominion would soon be broken.

Hou –

The blood red fire giant roared into the skies and the black hole in its palm released an even greater swallowing strength.
Cloud Mist could no longer resist and she flew over.

Qin Yu cursed inwardly.
That bastard Cloud Boundless, where was all his usual strength and bluster? He still hadn’t broken in after such a long time.

He had no idea what the black hole within the blood red flames was, but he couldn’t watch on helplessly as Cloud Mist was sucked inside.

Otherwise, this great performance that he had spent so much effort on and endured so many strikes for would be for nothing.

He dragged his feet around, but in the end he still had to rely on himself…the reason he feared going all out was that he thought he might show a flaw in his acting and give himself away…

Qin Yu clenched his teeth and started to move.
He couldn’t care about such things right now.

He unfurled his arms and grabbed Cloud Mist into his chest.
Ah…this feeling wasn’t right…

He looked down and his heartbeat immediately sped up.
Blood nearly gushed out from his nose.

Perhaps because she could no longer control the strength within her body, her disguise had faded away and she had returned to her original appearance as a woman.

Her robes were torn apart by the swallowing strength of the black hole.
When she was disguised as a man it was fine, but now things were different.

Tsk tsk, everything that shouldn’t be exposed was exposed.
The allure was beyond imagination!

“Damnit!” Changes began to spontaneously occur within Qin Yu’s body.

It wasn’t because his willpower was weak, but because when Cloud Mist turned back into a woman, the sinful attraction force between them erupted once again.

Moreover, Qin Yu was hugging her tightly against his chest, their skin rubbing against each other.

Thump –

Thump –

In his chest, the heart of the abyss seemed as if it was revolting.
It beat crazily, pushing blood through his body at an alarming rate.

Blood vessels bulged on his eyes as his pupils started to turn red.

He fiercely bit down on the tip of his tongue to restore his composure.
He didn’t dare to hold Cloud Mist anymore, regardless of whether she was wounded.
With a shove, he pushed her away.

The assassin who was wrapped in blood red flames really thought he was going insane.
He had almost captured Cloud Mist, but that bastard had run forward again.

Was this a hero rescuing the beauty? Was this a little cockroach that wouldn’t die? Then, let’s see if your flesh and blood can withstand being burnt by netherworld blood flames!

Today you will die!

Hou –

With a roar, the swallowing strength from the black hole rose by several degrees.
At the same time, the blood red fire giant reached out its other hand, grasping at Qin Yu.

The assassin hated Qin Yu to the bone.
He wanted to grab Qin Yu and slowly burn him to ashes with the netherworld blood flames.

This isn’t good.
I cannot die, so I have to live.

Qin Yu looked over.
Even if he didn’t do anything, this assassin would eventually be burnt to ashes by his own flames.
In such a state, it wasn’t worth fighting him at all.
It was better to just delay for time like he did before.

When Cloud Mist was shoved away, the heart of the abyss gradually calmed down and the blood red color of his eyes started to fade away.
But before it fully vanished, a black dot appeared, rapidly expanding outwards.

His eyes turned pitch black.
They were cold and dry, without any fluctuations at all.
They were like the endless night, capable of swallowing all of existence!

The blood red fire giant paused and the assassin inside it froze in place.

In fact, even the swallowing strength that imprisoned Qin Yu mostly dispersed.

Whoosh –

Qin Yu turned and fled!

In the next moment, the blood red fire giant regained its freedom.
But, the assassin no longer attacked.
He instead stared at Qin Yu, his withered face filled with panic.

“Abyssal Gaze…it’s the Abyssal Gaze…how is this possible…he has awakened already…can he be the reincarnation of the late King…?”

Shock, disbelief…all sorts of emotions fiercely surged and wove together.
But they all soon dissipated and all that remained was burning heat.

Royal lineage…this was the true royal lineage…and he had already awakened…

If the Nightmare Clan learned of this, then the contention for the new King’s throne would become meaningless.

Because as long as this boy entered the ancestral land, he would logically become the new King!

But without a doubt, this was the ray of light that appeared in this hopeless situation.
It could even be called the greatest lucky chance of his life.

If he killed Qin Yu and swallowed his bloodline, then forcibly opened the ancestral land…

Once he succeeded, not only would he escape the jaws of death, he would leap upwards and become one of the peak existences of the abyss.

“Die!”

With an explosive roar, the assassin attacked without hesitation, thoroughly combusting all of his strength.

At this moment, it was not just his flesh and blood that burned, but his soul, bloodline, will – everything became fuel for the netherworld blood flames.

If he succeeded he would obtain a new life, his achievements forever recorded in the world…if he failed he would vanish, forever disappearing from the world.

This was true disappearance.
There would be no more traces of him, no more chances of him ever surpassing the world.

Qin Yu’s complexion changed as he felt a terrifying aura erupt from behind.
He cursed inwardly.
This person was close to reaching the Demon King boundary, so could he not be a bit more merciful?

Can’t you die honestly? It’s not like I dug up your family’s ancestral grave.
Is there a need to have such a grudge against me, that you want to drag me down with you!?

The current Qin Yu had no idea what the Nightmare bloodline inside him meant…but there was one thing he was sure about.
Fighting right now wasn’t worth it.
He needed to continue fleeing!

He turned his head, his eyes becoming pitch black again.
When he glanced at the blood red fire giant and it froze for a time, he took advantage of this moment to avoid its hand.

Shua –

In the blink of an eye, he opened up a distance between them once again.

Qin Yu was originally a little worried that the blood red fire giant would attack Cloud Mist and force him to fight him.
But, the facts proved that he was overthinking things.

The blood red fire giant seemed to hate Qin Yu to the extreme.
All of his power was aimed at Qin Yu, as it raised its hand and erupted with dreadful strength.

If it weren’t for the power of the Abyssal Gaze interrupting the assassin at crucial times, Qin Yu would have had no choice but to go all out.

Rumble rumble –

The entire Dominion fiercely shook.
The condensed fog within began to collapse.
The barrage it withstood from inside and outside accelerated its destruction.

Cloud Mist’s complexion paled.
While she couldn’t clearly see the battle between Qin Yu and the assassin due to the fog covering them up, the wild fluctuations of strength informed her of how much danger Qin Yu was in.

Although he was able to barely avoid the attacks against him by a hair’s breadth, it was like walking on the edge of a knife.
A single misstep and he would be killed on the spot.

And none of this was something he needed to suffer to begin with…no matter what Qin Yu was thinking, in the end, it was her who owed him a life once more.

And saving her life today was different from his previous life-saving graciousness – lending her a hand in a safe environment could not be compared to desperately risking his life fighting a powerhouse for her.

Right now, Qin Yu was a mountain that stood in front of her.
Before the mountain fell…she wouldn’t be harmed!

Bang –

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out.
The crumbling Dominion could no longer withstand the tyrannical bombardment of attacks.
With a sorrowful howl, it completely disintegrated.

“No!” The blood red fire giant screeched.
As he looked at Qin Yu retreating and hiding in the fog once again, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.

The Abyssal Gaze was an ability that only the Nightmare King could control.
But even the Nightmare King couldn’t continuously stimulate this heaven-defying ability.

How many times had Qin Yu used it in this brief period? He hadn’t been counting, but it was at least ten times.

Every time Qin Yu used it, the assassin believed that he had spent all his power and was no longer capable of stimulating the strength of the Abyssal Gaze.

But even now, he was alive and kicking, without any indication of exhaustion…on the contrary, the Dominion could no longer maintain itself and broke apart!

When the Dominion was forcibly crushed, the assassin had to withstand the backlash.
Thick black blood violently spewed out from his mouth.

This mouthful of blood was like a water balloon that had been pierced.
The assassin’s aura started to wildly fall.
The blood red flames that blazed around him quickly extinguished themselves, revealing his withered corpse-like body beneath that had lost all luster.

His time of death…had arrived!

How did things end up like this?

He was a solemn and tyrannical powerhouse, someone who stood at the peak beneath an Abyssal King.
He had wandered around undefeated for thousands of years, and yet he had inexplicably died here today.

It shouldn’t have been like this.
He had his own reasons for agreeing to this mission of suppressing Cloud Mist.
Otherwise with his status, there would be no need for him to wade into the muddy waters and involve himself with the contention for the new King’s throne.

There wasn’t much to say about the exact details, but since he chose to interfere, he made sure he was completely safe and had all contingencies accounted for.
He had condensed this Dominion to block out all auras, and also learned about and researched the flaws of the carriage’s defensive demon runes ahead of time.
He even possessed the netherworld blood flames, a trump card that could erupt with immense killing strength.
And there was also the fact that he himself was incredibly strong…

With all of this planning, there shouldn’t have been any problems.
And yet, he had been slowly dragged into a hopeless situation.

Qin Yu! Qin Yu!

It was this bastard! It was all because of him! Otherwise he would have captured Cloud Billow by now instead of being reduced to such a miserable state.

The assassin was withered and ravaged.
At this time, his gloomy eyes that were about to fade away burst out with one final flash of light.
He knew that he wouldn’t survive.
Even if Cloud Boundless hadn’t come, the netherworld blood flames had already exhausted all of his vitality.

But he couldn’t die like this.
He had to pull Qin Yu down with him.
This was a person who was likely the reincarnation of the late Nightmare King.
Once this was known, he would undoubtedly die.
Within the Nightmare Clan, those that compelled him to accept this mission would not allow the late King to return, otherwise they would be destroyed!

“Qin Yu is…” The assassin opened his mouth, using the last dregs of his strength to shout out loud.
As long as his voice reached out, someone would certainly hear it.

At that time, Qin Yu would die!

With just a few words, he could place Qin Yu in an absolute deathtrap.

But just as the assassin opened his mouth, Qin Yu appeared from the shattered ground not too far away.
His eyes instantly turned pitch black, their cold gaze falling onto him.

It came again! It came again!

Was this the Abyssal Gaze or not? How could a mere Demon Commander that hadn’t even touched the threshold of the Demon King boundary continuously display this ability? Even if he was the reincarnation of the Nightmare King, he shouldn’t be able to accomplish this!

With a heart suffocating with anger and resentment, the assassin took one final breath and crashed into the ground.

Qin Yu wiped a cold sweat from his face.
Although he had no idea what this fellow was planning on saying before he died, his intuition told him that if he hadn’t interrupted him, he would have been in for a round of bad luck.

Fortunately, he responded quickly.
This fellow only spoke a few words and no one knew what he was going to say.

Qin Yu punched his chest.
With a bang, he cried out pitifully and flew away.
His body plummeted through the fog, landing right beside Cloud Mist.

“Qin Yu! Qin Yu, are you alright!?” Cloud Mist rushed over and hugged him.

“Cough…cough…” As he coughed and vomited blood, he revealed a faint smile.
“It’s good…that you’re safe…”

His head rolled to the side and he fainted.

It wasn’t good if he didn’t faint.
That old freak Cloud Boundless had arrived and he wouldn’t be easily fooled like Cloud Mist.
If he didn’t hurry up and faint, a few questions might expose him.
That would make things troublesome.

A single faint could solve a hundred problems…once he woke up, even if Cloud Boundless asked him something, many traces would be gone and he would be able to deal with it much more easily.

Whoosh –

With a whistling sound, Cloud Boundless burst forward.
He swept his eyes around and his complexion changed.
Then, he raised a hand and grasped forward.
Space twisted, wrapping around Cloud Mist and Qin Yu.
Without another word, he took the two and left.

Seven Wounds Clan Elder’s eyes flashed, as if eager to try something.
He glanced over at Thousandhonor Marquis.
This person wasn’t moving at all, like he simply hadn’t seen the scene before him.

Cursing inwardly, Seven Wounds Clan Elder took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse to attack.

During the entire process, Cloud Boundless hadn’t even glanced at the dead assassin.
The dead would not speak, so there was no point wasting his time here.

Of course, things wouldn’t end so easily.

To dare attack the old King’s lineage, no matter what that person’s reasons were, they had to pay a price for their actions.

There would naturally be people that investigated everything about the assassin and delivered it to him.
At that time, the assassin’s bloodline, relatives, and everything he loved and cherished would suffer an onslaught from the old King’s lineage until they were all reduced to ashes!
