Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 493 – Crushed Stones Like Rain

With Qin Yu’s cultivation, his all-out speed was incredible. It should have been more than enough to cast off these relatively low level demon beasts. However, what left him perplexed was that as he raced through the wooded mountain forest, he still wasn’t able to escape the wolf pack behind him.

He glanced backwards and saw that the cow-sized demon wolves all had a shining light covering their fur, as if they were wearing a coat of shimmering silver.

“That is the demon wolf’s bloodline resonance. When a massive number of them are superimposed upon each other, they can increase their speed to an astonishingly great degree. There is no way we can escape them…” Sun Zifu said, a sad sobbing look on his face.

Qin Yu was expressionless. “Shut up!”

Sun Zifu was angered. Hey, you were the last ray of hope so I grabbed onto you, and I respected and flattered you. But now you can’t even defend yourself and you’re still so arrogant!?

However, when he opened his mouth and felt the strong incoming winds filling his stomach, he hesitated over and over before bitterly remaining quiet.

If he were to provoke this surname Yao now, he would be tossed to the ground and would immediately be eaten up by the demon wolves until there were not even bones left…if he could live just a little bit longer then it was worth keeping quiet. Perhaps there would be a favorable turn somewhere?

A weak light appeared in his eyes, but soon it dimmed down. He had never heard of a person who had managed to escape the chase of a demon wolf pack.

Young Master Sun closed his eyes, recollecting all the passing memories of his life, as if savoring the last taste of existence before his death.

Qin Yu’s eyes shined like lightning. He rushed forward, carefully observing the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, his eyes brightened. His feet pushed downward and the stone beneath him shattered. The hand carrying Sun Zifu suddenly turned, the centripetal force so great that his eyes rolled back into his head. Sun Zifu cursed inwardly, thinking that if he was going to die soon, could he at least have a moment of peace?

It was now that Young Master Sun discovered Qin Yu was climbing up something, and it was incredibly steep. He looked up and saw thick forests and rocks blocking his line of sight. He had no idea what lay ahead.

Just as a questioning thought appeared in Young Master Sun’s mind, a tyrannical strength suddenly thrust him upwards and he saw light all around him.

A cliff!

Young Master Sun’s eyes widened, his face stunned.

At this time, he could feel Qin Yu’s body tighten; his speed increased like he was a bolt of racing lightning.

“Ahh!”

Sun Zifu instinctually screamed out. He discovered that he was already soaring in the air and his face turned pale white.

Within the Demon Ascension Gate’s small world, there were limitations. One of them was…flying was forbidden!

This wasn’t to make the test more difficult for the cultivators participating, but to protect them. This was because in the skies above this small world, there was a horrifying number of demon birds and beasts.

However, this protection had now become a life-threatening curse. He clearly knew he couldn’t withstand the impact of falling from a high altitude.

Dead…I’m dead here…

Behind him, the howls of the demon wolves echoed out. They didn’t stop at all. Their powerful hind legs used great force and their claws tore at the ground. They were already flying through the air.

Following that, majestic howls filled the air. Two wings formed of silver light unfolded on the backs of the rapidly falling demon wolves. They flapped their wings and shot forward like streams of silver light.

Within Young Master Sun’s despair, he couldn’t help but feel shocked. This was actually a demon wolf king who had awakened a sky bloodline! Soon, this shock turned into ridicule. This foolish surname Yao, now that he saw such a sight, he must be feeling very good about himself, right?

Qin Yu was expressionless. He allowed his body to be pulled down to the earth. When the howls of wolves came from above his head, his eyes flashed.

Without warning, Qin Yu’s punched out a fist. A terrifying strength surged out like a tide, smashing into a cliff without restraint.

Kacha –

Kacha –

Countless cracks appeared. They followed along the strange dark-stoned cliff, racing through the damp moss and spreading out. The entire mountain edge began to collapse.

In an instant, crushed stone fell like rain!

The rushing demon wolves were unexpectedly covered in a baptism of stone shards. They pitifully screamed out as the silver light wings on their backs collapsed and they tumbled to the ground.

Qin Yu punched out, breaking apart a massive falling stone. Using the pushback force, he flew forward several dozen feet. Then he stepped on a giant stone, his falling speed slightly decreasing. After that, every three steps he would leap onto another large stone, rapidly shuttling through the rain of crushed stones like a nimble monkey.

And above his head, one could no longer see the howling and aggressive demon wolves. The only sounds were pained and panic-stricken squeals.

Sun Zifu’s eyes widened. As he watched Qin Yu race through the falling crushed stones without any sense of fl.u.s.tered panic on his face, he was bewildered.

In order to do this, one needed a tyrannical exploratory divine sense, an extremely calm attitude, and formidable control of the body. The slightest mistake would result in being buried in a sea of crushed stone.

But soon, Young Master Sun discovered something. Even if this surname Yao continually slowed down, when they really did crash into the ground, would he still be able to withstand it?

Alright. To be more accurate, this surname Yao might be able to withstand the impact but he wouldn’t escape the fate of plummeting to his doom…after coming to this conclusion, Sun Zifu cried without tears. How come there was no way to escape his eventual death!

No, I must help myself. I cannot just sit by and wait for death.

Sun Zifu reached out with his two hands and held stubbornly onto Qin Yu’s arm. He wanted to throw himself over, but before he could succeed, he felt a burst of strength that sent him shaking away.

A powerful strength surged out and he immediately saw clouds and mist all around him. Sun Zifu was left in a muddled daze for a moment, but a few seconds later, he realized the brutal fact that he had been abandoned.

“Ahh! Save me!”

He pitifully screamed out.

Surname Yao, even if I die and turn into a ghost, I won’t let you off!

Qin Yu kicked out against a stone horizontally, sending it shooting out. The stone slammed into Sun Zifu’s stomach, causing him to swallow back down the words he was about to say. Then, his body dodged several falling stones, and because he had been struck and sent flying away, his body fiercely stagnated in the air for a moment, just barely dodging the open jaws of a demon wolf that flew past him.

This demon wolf had already been struck by a falling stone and its body was bent to an amazing degree. Its spine had clearly been broken, but it maintained a cruel and ferocious posture because of its overbearing vitality.

The human food that had just about entered its mouth had been snatched away. The demon wolf’s green and glossy eyes stubbornly glared at Qin Yu. This was because as Qin Yu leapt further and further down across more stones, he was rapidly approaching the wolf.

The demon wolf opened its jaws. But, before it could howl, Qin Yu coldly grasped out a hand and with a loud cracking sound, the demon wolf’s neck broke. Then, he grabbed the corpse of the demon wolf and ruthlessly pulled it downwards. Qin Yu stepped onto the wolf’s corpse and grabbed the frightened and screaming Sun Zifu. Like that, they both fell to the ground.

The dense and verdant crowns of ancient trees rapidly approached. A high-speed collision immediately occurred. The branches as thick as several people seemed as frail as thin sticks as Qin Yu and Sun Zifu crashed through them, shattering them into pieces.

Bang –

The earth quaked and the ground ruptured. Countless pieces of stone flew out to all sides.

Flesh and blood splattered in all directions. The wolf corpse at the bottom had been turned into goo.

Qin Yu’s complexion suddenly paled. He could clearly hear the sounds of creaking bones passing through his body and into his ears. He stuffily coughed, but without any hesitation he grabbed onto the fainted Sun Zifu, suppressed the pain in his legs, and howled forward.

In the next moment, countless giant stones fell down from the skies, forming a mountain of rocks that caused clouds of dust to rise everywhere.

Moments later, a snow-white and regal demon wolf king appeared at the base of the mountain. As it approached, the tumbling dust seemed to be suppressed, vanishing without a trace in seconds.

Its ice-cold eyes looked at the crushed stone and the several pitiful demon wolf corpses mixed with it. Anger gushed out from its eyes and it reared back its head and howled. In the next moment, countless wolf howls resounded from all over. The demon wolf pack divided themselves into several groups, and with the slaughter and killing intent of their king driving them forward, they hurtled into the woods.

These two humans could not escape!
