Refining the Mountains and Rivers

C.1737 – Swallowing Abyss Skill

Pfft –

Throwing up a mouthful of blood, it spread across her chest like red plum blossoms in the wind.

Li Ruhua looked pale and her eyes were bleak.

She had indeed gotten a portion of the Great Dao in the Sky Falling Mountain.

But using it was not that simple…it was like doing an exchange. She could use it, but she would have to pay the price.

At this moment, Li Ruhua was in a horrible state.

She appeared to have easily suppressed and killed Ming Zhe, Xu Wei, and the others, but the truth was that she was at her limit.

She had purposely hid herself from other people’s gazes when Ming Zhe exploded. Otherwise, the consequences would have been dire.

Taking a deep breath, Li Ruhua tapped on Chen Sanglue’s forehead.

“Ah!”

He shrieked softly before awakening, “Miss, are you okay?”

Li Ruhua said, “I have to heal immediately and cannot be disturbed. Help me to set up a protective formation.”

Before she finished speaking, blood appeared at the corners of her lips.

“Okay. Miss hurry and heal!” Chen Sanglue looked determined, “They will only be able to hurt you over my dead body.”

Li Ruhua closed her eyes and her aura went silent.

This was a special healing method from the Thirteenth Floor. It was similar to a tortoise sleeping. It made one go into a state of fake death and activated their internal energy to speed up the recovery.

The benefits were obvious but the disadvantage was that once this was used, it would block all perception of the outside world. All their five senses would be asleep. They had to have someone to protect them and ensure their safety. If not, it was likely that they would never reopen their eyes after closing them.

Chen Sanglue looked up at Li Ruhua’s face, his expression filled with an unknown emotion.

His current status was that of a disciple of the Thirteenth Floor, an attendant of the first child of the Li Family, Li Ruhua. It was an unremarkable position.

But back then, he had been the favorite son of the governor of Seascape City, Chen Yuanshen. He was the future master of the Chen Family.

In this world, there was nothing that came without reason. The reason why Chen Yuanshen was able to help his family rise and become one of the city governors in the West Desolate was because he had his fate.

And he had passed this fate on to his son, Chen Sanglue – so when everyone thought that Chen Sanglue had fainted, he actually did not.

Even unremarkable people had their own tricks!

He knew everything that had happened, and if he wanted, he could have awoken and escaped.

But Chen Sanglue did not.

He had resisted and waited until Li Ruhua killed all the other disciples from the Thirteenth Floor and most of her energy was depleted. When she had no choice but to use the secret technique of Tortoise Rest and fall into a coma-like state.

Now, this was his chance!

Chen Sanglue licked his dried lips and his pupils expanded, engulfing the whites of his eyes.

Both his eyes were completely black like an abyss and looked strange and scary.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the stirring in his chest as he lifted his hand and grabbed Li Ruhua.

Ssss –

He took a deep breath as he leaned back and looked to the sky. There was a joyous and brutal look mixed on his face.

Li Ruhua was asleep and was like wood; she did not react at all.

Blood started to flow out of her body into Chen Sanglue.

And through this process, he finally understood what Li Ruhua meant before.

A bright golden color appeared in his world. It came from the ground he was standing on as well as the sky.

So this was Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao.

Its Great Dao!

And now, this King realm Great Dao was going to belong to him. Once he got it, he would become a True King, one of the most powerful existences in this world.

When that happened, he would get revenge for all his hatred.

From now on, I want the entire world to fall and tremble at my feet!

……

Qin Yu suddenly frowned and looked far away.

White Iris had sharp senses, “What is going on?”

Bull Bean then looked over.

Qin Yu thought before saying, “Something has gone wrong; I am considering whether to bother with it.”

At this point, he did not need to hide himself anymore.

White Iris was one of their people.

Bull Bean had put her entire trust in him and there was no point going in circles.

White Iris frowned and was slightly unhappy that Qin Yu only shared half of the information. This gave her a bad feeling.

“Hmph,” She did not say anything else.

Bull Bean was more worried, “What is it? Tell us and maybe I can help you.”

Qin Yu took a deep breath before releasing it, “No need. I have already decided.”

He looked at White Iris, “Continue this way. You will soon meet a man and a woman. The woman is called Sprout. The man is a sword cultivator. Help them and don’t let anything happen to them. We will be back soon.”

White Iris’ eyes glimmered.

Qin Yu said slowly, “I think that I have already explained some things clearly. You can reject, but you have to think about the consequences.”

“Hmph!”

White Iris snorted before there was a sound and her figure disappeared into the distance.

Bull Bean’s neck shrunk, “Zhou Huan, her sword is very powerful. Amongst all the sword cultivators I have met, there are few that are sharper than her. Don’t make her too angry; something might go wrong.”

Qin Yu smiled softly, “I am not scared. With your protection, she cannot hurt me.”

Bull Bean smiled and puffed up her chest, “That’s right. Sun Changqing is powerful right, but he still got defeated by me!”

Qin Yu nodded seriously, “Let’s go, we have to save someone…there are some things that I am still not clear about and I can’t let her get killed.”

He said the last part softly so Bull Bean could not hear. But she could sense the complicated feelings Qin Yu was experiencing and did not say anything more.

They turned and Qin Yu grabbed Bull Bean, flying into the distance.

……

“I never knew someone inherited the Swallowing Abyss Skill.” A calm and slightly surprised voice filled the air.

Chen Sanglue opened his eyes, revealing his blackened eyes. He was not surprised to hear the voice.

When the True King from that clan spoke previously, he did not hide from him.

A quick look at "novelbuddy.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Perhaps he had already noticed from that point.

“Leader, if I succeed today, I will leave the Thirteenth Floor and join that clan.”

With Li Ruhua included, soon every Thirteenth Floor disciple would be dead, and this would raise suspicions. He was not confident of deceiving the Thirteenth Floor’s various investigation methods and leaving to find protection was key.

After all, even after he obtained Sky Falling Moutain’s Great Dao, with his cultivation level, he would not be able to become a True King immediately. He would need time to digest and absorb it.

The leader smiled, “Of course. I would welcome you…Chen Sanglue, I will remember your name.”

Having one’s name remembered by one of the world’s True Kings was a huge honor.

But at this moment, Chen Sanglue was calm because he had seen the Great Dao and was confident of getting it.

When he had the Heaven Crossing Great Dao, it would only be a matter of time before he reached the True King realm!

All that was lacking was time.

The leader of that clan suddenly said, “Chen Sanglue, let me warn you to hurry up or trouble will find you.”

Chen Sanglue frowned, “Please help me get some time.”

The True King rejected, “I can sense what is going on in Sky Falling Mountain but cannot interfere. You have to take care of yourself.”

He did not have a good impression of Chen Sanglue. Talking to him was just to take precautions and leave a possibility open.

If Chen Sanglue was killed eventually, that would be fine too.

If all their opponents were killed, then Sky Falling Mountain’s Great Dao would belong to that clan. This would be the best outcome.

Chen Sanglue’s face grew sinister. Where was trouble coming from? All the cultivators from the Thirteenth Floor were dead and those people from earlier had been scared off.

Could it be from Sky Falling Mountain itself?

Very soon, Chen Sanglue realized that there was no point thinking. After seeing it for himself, he would find out everything.

Zhou Huan and Bull Bean!

Seeing these two, Chen Sanglue grew alarmed and grabbed Li Ruhua’s palm even harder. The speed at which he swallowed increased, “Stop! I am helping my miss heal. If you all dare to come closer and cause something to happen to her, you will be the enemy of the Thirteenth Floor!”

Bull Bean hesitated and looked at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu looked calm and said slowly, “Is swallowing Li Ruhua helping her heal? Chen Sanglue, who are you trying to fool?”

He knows me!

He actually knows me.

Chen Sanglue’s pupils shrunk as unease grew deep within him. It was as if he had met his nemesis and his soul was trembling.

Earlier on, he had wanted to deal with Qin Yu but did not get a chance. Who knew that he had the same thoughts, otherwise, how would Qin Yu have known his name?

“Who are you?”

Chen Sanglue growled angrily.

He had finished half the swallowing. In another hour, he would have taken everything from Li Ruhua.

But right at the critical moment, this happened. Chen Sanglue was filled with hatred.

Especially towards this Zhou Huan – he gave him a very bad feeling. Like dark clouds rolling overhead.

Qin Yu replied, “It is not important who am I, what is important is that you are trying to delay for time…” The corners of his mouth pulled up mockingly, “Dream on.”

“Ah!”

Chen Sanglue shouted as the air froze and a murderous power surge from it. Previously, Li Ruhua had used this to kill the Elder Senior Sister of the Thirteenth Floor.

Chen Sanglue attempted to catch them off guard and kill the both of them. He tried his very best, but it was a pity that it was Qin Yu he was fighting.

Previously, Li Ruhua’s feeling was right. The Great Dao she saw and controlled was not hers.

She was borrowing Qin Yu’s power through their relationship – this Great Dao was his!

Now, Chen Sanglue used the Swallowing Abyss Skill to steal Li Ruhua’s power and forcefully took the right to borrow the power of the Great Dao.

But what he was using was the power of the Great Dao passed through two people. When dealing with the true owner of the Great Dao…it was just a joke.

Qin Yu did not make a move. The surging Great Dao energy dissipated as soon as it neared him.

He looked at Chen Sanglue and spoke in a bland tone, “Now, it is my turn.”

Snap –

Qin Yu lifted his hand and snapped his fingers.
