Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Six hours later, Qin Yu appeared at another vast underground space that had numerous buildings set up. However, not too long ago there had clearly been a great battle here. All that he saw were ruined buildings.

“There it is!” An Xin pointed a finger.

Qin Yu held onto her and the two of them howled forward.

Soon, some people discovered An Xin. A human slave, covered in rags with a wrinkled face, shouted in excitement. “An Xin, it’s An Xin! How dare you come back!”

He shot up into the air. This person didn’t even notice Qin Yu as he grasped at her.

“Humph!” Qin Yu coldly coughed. There was a bang in the air as the human slave’s arm was broken off. He was sent tumbling into the distance before crashing into the ground, completely solent.

An Xin clenched her teeth. “He used to be my husband’s subordinate…Big Brother Qin, I’m sorry. I really was thinking that you could take revenge for my husband. He really was a good man. If it weren’t for him protecting me, I would have died long ago.”

Qin Yu said, “It doesn’t matter. It’s fine as long as we find that thing.”

An Xin relaxed. She definitively said, “Big Brother Qin, rest assured that the chamber is in a well hidden location. It won’t be found so easily.”

But at this time, the noise of Qin Yu killing someone had already drawn the attention of others.

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

There was the sound of breaking air as figure after figure shot up into the air. Each one of them had cruel and burning glares.

“An Xin, you dare to come back! How wonderful!”

“Hurry up and open the secret chamber, otherwise I will make you regret being born with such a beautiful face!”

“Tell me where the chamber is and I’ll let you leave!”

Qin Yu pulled An Xin behind him. He swept his eyes over these people and shouted out, “Screw off!” His words cracked like thunder, rumbling against the stone walls.

The others suddenly turned pale. Their eyes revealed horror and fear.

They had never seen Qin Yu before, but this didn’t stop them from feeling his great strength.

Even if they had the advantage of numbers, once a fight broke out they would all suffer heavy casualties.

In the world of the mine tunnels, the least valuable thing was human life. But, that was only the life of others. One always treasured their own life greatly.

Should they leave?

But if they didn’t leave, they would likely die here.

Everyone glanced at each other and slowly backed up. At this moment, all of them had the same idea. This person was overwhelmingly strong so they might as well retreat for the time being.

When the chamber was opened, they could look at what was stored within before making a decision. If it really was a great fortune contained within, then they wouldn’t allow this person to leave.

At that time, it wouldn’t be too late to make a move!

An Xin was secretly anxious, but she couldn’t speak up at this time. She could only respect Qin Yu’s decision.

What she didn’t know was that from the very start, Qin Yu had decided not to let these people escape. He could now allow news of his appearance here to spread outside. And in this world, the only people that could truly keep secrets were the dead.

As for him giving these people time to consider, it was because Qin Yu also needed time to seal this place up. He was going to turn this underground space…into their hell!

Bang –

As the people began to retreat, Qin Yu attacked without warning. He pressed his hands forwards and a five-colored divine light loudly erupted.

Five Element Samsara!

“Ahh!”

With loud pitiful screams, a large area of the mine tunnels and the slaves hiding there were all swallowed up by the five colored vortex and twisted into dust.

“Run away!”

“This person is terrifying!”

“Flee!”

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

Figure after figure crazily ran away. But soon, all of them revealed looks of despair.

This space had already been isolated. It was like an invisible cage, locking them all within.

None of them could escape.

“He wants to kill all of us! This lunatic!”

“Fight together, otherwise none of us will live!”

“Die!”

In the world of the mine tunnels, for a slave to become a master of others, not only did they need to be strong they also needed to possess a cruel and ruthless personality. Once they determined that they couldn’t escape they all bared their fangs and wildly attacked Qin Yu.

Unfortunately, against Qin Yu, their fearless actions that were unafraid of death could only lead to their true death.

Qin Yu pressed a finger forward. Blue Finger!

As this finger appeared, it pierced through the entire battlefield. Let alone being struck directly by it, even being scratched by it led to one being split apart.

The slaves completely collapsed.

A moment later, the slaughter came to a conclusion. Qin Yu flew high in the air, his surroundings littered with corpses, streams of blood flowing everywhere!

He turned and calmly asked, “Where is the secret chamber?”

…

An Xin’s husband was an intelligent man. He put the entrance to the secret chamber beneath the stepping stones of the main entrance of the residence. Numerous people walked over it every day, but none of them looked at it too long.

But what a pity, the smart also needed sufficient strength to preserve their own lives. Otherwise, no matter how well one grasped the human heart, others would be able to take their head with a single stroke.

An Xin walked over different steps with different amounts of strength. After dozens of steps, there was a soft click as a stone slab cracked open and exposed a stairway leading underground.

“Big Brother Qin, the chamber is right here. I won’t go in so I’ll wait for you out here.”

She was actually quite tactful.

Qin Yu nodded, not hesitating. “Alright.”

His figure flickered and he walked down, vanishing from sight.

Perhaps in order to prevent others from discovering it, the chamber was buried extremely deeply. Qin Yu walked for a long time before reaching the end.

“Mm? He furrowed his eyebrows and pressed his hands forward. The air instantly froze. Several cold and shining metallic gleams were locked in midair, the closest one less than 10 feet away from the door.

A sharp light flashed in his heart. Qin Yu thought for a moment and suppressed the iciness rising in his heart. An Xin saw him fight so she should have an understanding of how great his strength was.

She should have known that the traps hidden here weren’t able to harm him. Also…she likely didn’t know that there were life-threatening traps in this chamber.

Hum hum, it seems that the husband who An Xin spoke of, one that treated her well, wasn’t as good as he seemed.

But none of this mattered and Qin Yu wasn’t in the mood to think about it further. He flicked his sleeves and a pitch black imprisoned arrow was flung away. He walked into the chamber.

With one glance, Qin Yu understand why An Xin’s husband was killed by others. As a slave in the mine tunnels, he actually managed to save up so much wealth.

As someone that had already looted two large-scale storehouses, Qin Yu’s eyesight wasn’t too bad. He could estimate the approximate value of the treasures here.

But he didn’t care about it these treasures that seduced the heart. A dark golden light surged in his eyes as he slowly looked around.

Several breaths of time later, he smiled in joy. His figure moved and he appeared in front of a frame.

He raised his hand and pressed down. The frame formed of grey-black metal instantly turned red. It liquefied, turning into a puddle on the ground and exposing the stone wall behind it.

With one glance, the stone wall seemed ordinary. Even when he swept his divine sense across it, he didn’t sense anything out of the usual.

But an incredibly interesting secret was now hidden in Qin Yu’s eyes. After looking around, Qin Yu reached out a finger. He touched the stone wall once, then twice, then three times, and a fourth…

His fingers flew back and forth. In an area of a ruler, he tapped the stone wall at least several hundred times, nearly touching every inch of the region.

Kacha -

Kacha –

There was a clicking sound from inside the stone wall. Qin Yu received his hand and a square stone slowly rose up. Carefully looking, one would see that this square stone was an exquisitely carved stone box.

He opened the lid and a gray, fist-sized stone wrapped in red silk appeared in front of him.

Found it!

He hesitated for a moment but soon came to a decision. He reached forward and picked up the stone.

“I am temporarily going into seclusion, wait outside for me!”

After leaving behind these words, the rules within the chamber twisted, forming an invisible veil that isolated the chamber from the outside.

Pa –

The palm-sized stone shattered and the powder fused into his flesh and blood. Qin Yu’s eyes flew open and he emitted a loud roar.

Before, if the little fragment from An Xin’s necklace caused Qin Yu to feel a burning feeling blaze through his entire body...

Then at this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into a pool of roiling magma, as if he could burn to ashes at any time!

Hou –

Qin Yu howled into the air. His body began to transform out of his control as his flesh and blood and bones rapidly grew and expanded.

At this time, he directly became the incarnation of the Ancient race. The chamber blew apart as the walls constantly shook.

Thump. Thump. Thump. Loud beating hearts constantly spread out from his chest and reverberated in space. It gave off a fierce feeling like wind and thunder.

Strengthening!

Strengthening!

Wildly strengthening!

At this time, Qin Yu’s mortal body was growing stronger at a blinding speed.

With each breath he took, the strength in his body crazily rose.
