Refining the Mountains and Rivers

“We failed…”

“Run away!”

“Run! Run!”

The Demon Generals revealed panic-stricken expressions. They dispersed in all directions.

It was impossible to return to Great Deer City. Since they hadn’t killed the abyssal demon dragon, the entire city would be burnt to ashes beneath its rage.

Hou –

The abyssal demon dragon roared. The stone on the surface of its scales shattered into countless blocks that fell down. A pair of giant eyes opened, filled with anger and shame.

It opened its mouth and spat out a crimson dragon breath. Like roiling abyssal lava, it covered the Demon Generals.

Everything in range, including hundreds of demon beasts, was instantly burnt to ashes.

The might of a dragon’s breath was infinite!

Bang –

The abyssal demon dragon crashed into the ground, creating a giant pit and causing cracks to spread out. It gasped for breath, blood dripping from the corners of its mouth.

It had received an injury in its all-out battle with the three Demon Commanders. And because it spat out its dragon breath due to its anger, that caused its injuries to be even more serious.

Its giant eyes coolly looked at Great Deer City. The abyssal demon dragon suppressed all thoughts of immediately destroying it. It wasn’t the right time. It had to restore its wounds as quickly as possible while increasing its strength to the peak.

At that time, the entire city, as well as the demons within, would turn into ashes beneath its anger!

Hou –

The abyssal demon dragon roared into the skies. It drove the beast tide to attack Great Deer City once again. This time, the attack was even more vicious than before!

At this moment, a stream of light appeared in the air. It pierced into the abyssal demon dragon’s body at a cunning angle.

Hou –

A pained dragon’s roar exploded in the beast tide. A woman was sent shaking away.

Moments later, light appeared once again. But it didn’t pierce at the abyssal demon dragon, instead it held onto the figure and howled towards Great Deer City.

Behind it, the abyssal demon dragon was left even weaker than before. It roared with hate and anger!

…

City Lord Blackpool had died in battle, and Black Astral was left severely wounded and unconscious. The 40 Demon Generals from Great Deer City had been buried in the best tide.

The plan to hunt down the controlling demon beasts of the beast tide had outright failed. The atmosphere in Thousand Eye Temple was so cold that it nearly froze.

Old Fox had a bitter expression. He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.

An abyssal demon dragon…one had actually been born in the beast tide…this was a genuine abyssal demon dragon…without a doubt, Great Deer City was doomed to destruction.

With things having reached this point, unless Liu Huo helped, there was nothing that could save them.

He stood up and opened his eyes, “I will inform His Excellency Liu Huo of this matter. As for what he decides, that will all depend on the heavens!”

With the Demon Dragon Clan’s vicious style and their almost guaranteed need for revenge, once Great Deer City was breached, perhaps all of them would be killed off. This ending was even more tragic than expected!

Would Liu Huo help? In truth, Old Fox had no idea.

After all, from the perspective of someone who had lived for countless years and stood at the peak of the abyss, regardless of whether it was Great Deer City or the demons living here, they were nothing but passing mist in his eyes. It would be difficult for their life and death to touch his mind.

All their hopes rested on Liu Huo’s thoughts.

Shadowless Demon stood up, “I’ll go with you.” Beneath his black robes, his voice was weak and his complexion was pale. This was from the injuries he received as well as from the backlash after taking the super mighty invincibility pill.

He had tried to kill an abyssal demon dragon. If Great Deer City was broken through, he could rely on his own powerful concealment abilities to run away, but there would be a day when he would eventually be chased down and killed.

Unless Liu Huo stepped forward to resolve this matter, his ending would not change. He wasn’t willing to sit back and do nothing since it concerned his life and death.

Old Fox nodded, “Let’s go.”

The little courtyard was still as quiet as before. It was just when some demons passed nearby and subconsciously glanced over, there was awe in their eyes.

The quiet deaths of Yin Hanxin and the other demons that rushed in had caused a terrifying shadow to cover this courtyard.

These demons had no idea who the master of the courtyard was, but it had to be an incomparably formidable existence.

The subsequent actions of Thousand Eye Temple and Old Fox only served to confirm this.

But in the awe-inspired eyes of these demons, there was still some peace of mind.

The beast tide outside the city was growing increasingly terrifying, and even the ordinary demons could feel the incoming storm. In such a situation, having a formidable existence in the city was a good deed to them.

After all, even if it was only for themselves, this person shouldn’t watch and do nothing as the beast tide destroyed the city.

“Mister Liu Huo, I have come with Shadowless Demon to request an audience.” Old Fox knocked on the courtyard doors and took a step back.

Moments later, the courtyard doors were opened. Feature glanced at the two and said, “Come in.”

“Thank you, miss.” After expressing their thanks, the two people entered the courtyard and saw Qin Yu’s serious expression.

Could it be that he already knew?

This thought appeared in Old Fox’s mind. He bowed and said, “Mister Liu Huo, City Lord Blackpool has died and Black Astral has been left unconscious from his injuries. The hunting plan has failed.”

The corners of Qin Yu’s eyes twitched. He looked at Shadowless Demon and said, “I want to know, just what happened in the beast tide?”

Shadowless Demon respectfully nodded. He reiterated everything that happened within the beast tide, not concealing anything at all.

“Mister, this is what the situation is like. Even a newly born abyssal demon dragon has an incomparably terrifying level of strength. We went all out, but in the end we failed. I could only carry Black Astral and City Lord Blackpool’s corpse with me before running away. The 40 Demon Generals were completely buried in the beast tide.”

Qin Yu closed his eyes. There was no expression on his face but his heart was wildly twitching. Feature’s mouth was too on target. She had correctly guessed everything.

Abyssal demon dragon, this was an abyssal demon dragon! They were an existence that stood at the peak of the abyss’ food chain.

Even such a thing had been released to kill them. It could be seen how intense the will of the abyss’s desire was to slay them.

How could people survive with this?

Three Demon Commanders who took super mighty invincibility pills were defeated in frontal combat. One died, one was left unconscious, and one ran away. If he were to face this abyssal demon dragon, what were his chances of escape? Perhaps if he said it was 10%, that would just be empty boasting.

The courtyard fell silent. Old Fox and Shadowless Demon didn’t dare to say anything, but there was a look of anticipation on their faces.

Qin Yu could sense their anticipation and knew just what they were hoping for. But the problem was that he didn’t possess the great strength they imagined he had.

And once Great Deer City was broken through, Qin Yu didn’t doubt that he and Feature would be the first targets of the abyssal demon dragon.

Perhaps he might even die in front of them!

As soon as he thought of this, he felt his brain hurt.

He took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead. He waved his hand and said, “I understand. You leave first. Without my orders, don’t disturb me again.”

Without obtaining the response they wanted, Old Fox and Shadowless Demon revealed looks of disappointment.

But they didn’t dare to reveal their thoughts. They bowed and left the courtyard.

Once the courtyard doors closed, Feature turned around with a look on her face as if she were bragging about her own intelligence and foresight. “Look, look, I told you before that things weren’t as simple as they appeared. You should believe me now, right?”

As she spoke her expression grew increasingly vivid and excited. “Abyssal demon dragon, this is an abyssal demon dragon! As the favored pet of the abyss’ will, their entire body is a treasure. Their scales, skin, blood, all of it is peak materials for refining demon medicine. Let alone their dragon fangs, dragon heart, dragon liver, and so forth. Just thinking about it leaves me drooling!”

Qin Yu’s complexion paled. His fingers shivered and he almost laughed from anger. At such a time, she was still in the mood to make such jokes?

Qin Yu had no idea what materials could come from an abyssal demon dragon, but if things continued to deteriorate like this, they would soon discover what it felt to be chewed upon by an abyssal demon dragon. That was definitely not a good feeling!

Stand firm, I have to stand firm. It was not a wise choice to be angry with this madwoman.

And if he wanted to survive now, it seemed that he could only figure out a solution from her.

He took a deep breath, desperately suppressing all the random thoughts circulating in his mind. He said, “Feature, isn’t it time to tell me what your plan is? Great Deer City is inevitably going to be destroyed. We must flee!”

Feature blinked her eyes, “What do you mean?”

Qin Yu shouted out loud, “Of course I mean the plan to survive! Don’t tell me you intend to just wait here for death!”

Feature looked at Qin Yu with a strange expression, “Since when were you under the illusion that I had a way to leave Great Deer City?”

“Feature!” Qin Yu clenched his teeth, “I don’t care what you are concealing, but we are going to die soon. If you don’t tell me anything soon, I can only run away by myself!”

Feature curled her lips, “I really cannot look down on you enough. But facing the pursuit of an abyssal demon dragon, even an Abyssal King would find it difficult to endure. Do you think you can do it?”

Qin Yu was silent for several breaths of time. He calmed down, “I don’t, but I have to try. It’s better than just waiting here for death.” He stood up and said, “Since we’ve known each other for some time, I wish you luck in surviving. Goodbye.”

This insane woman, if I don’t force her then she won’t say anything. If she leaves me now in her current state, it’s all over for her.

At that time, no matter what methods she has, it will all be useless.

I want to see just how long you can last! Call out to stop me and admit your mistakes! Hurry up!

Qin Yu lifted his hands and touched the courtyard doors. His heart began to race. Even now, she didn’t call out to him.

Feature, consider yourself fierce!

Qin Yu pulled open the courtyard doors and clenched his teeth, about to leave.

Bang –

It wasn’t that Qin Yu slipped or that Feature stopped him, but a woman fell down from the skies and landed on the ground.

She rolled over once in front of Qin Yu, completely motionless and unconscious.

What was going on here?
