Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1109B - Dominion


Chapter 1109B – Dominion

“Attack!”

“Use all of your strength!”

“Break through the Dominion!”

With a roar, the demons from Bluetile Courtyard all attacked at once, erupting with their greatest strength and blasting out at all sides.

A cold cough echoed from all directions. It was impossible to tell where it came from. The demons that attacked the Dominion all stuffily humphed as if they had suffered a severe attack. They were sent flying backwards where they were swallowed up by the fog in the blink of an eye.

The carriage driver’s pupils shrank and he slapped the carriage. Countless lines immediately shined on its surface, linking together and transforming into a powerful defensive demon array formation.

“Young master, we are under attack by a powerful enemy. Please stay in the carriage and wait for the clan to rescue you!”

As his voice fell, the carriage driver shot into the skies. With a loud roar, he punched with his fists.

As he punched, potent demonic energy surged out, rumbling like raging rivers.

Demon Commander!

This unremarkable carriage driver was unexpectedly a powerful Demon Commander.

It seemed that Cloud Boundless wasn’t completely unprepared. He had arranged for such a strong guard to protect Cloud Mist.

Since Cloud Boundless was in Adversity Peak City, once an accident occurred he would immediately realize it and would be able to rush over.

Cloud Boundless had made full preparations in normal times. In addition, there was also this extravagantly expensive carriage. Even if Cloud Mist suffered some bitter accident, it should be able to ensure that she remained safe until help arrived.

Bang –

The fog exploded. Like a giant mouth opening up, it swallowed the carriage driver. Then, it fiercely contracted and inflated. Loud rumbling noises came from within like rolling thunderclaps.

It was clear that both sides were engaged in battle.

Cloud Mist’s complexion was ugly. She took a deep breath and said, “Don’t worry, the Clan Elder personally prepared this carriage. No one below the Demon King realm will be able to break through it in a short period of time. As long as we can endure, the Clan Elder will surely catch up!”

The demon runes on the carriage had the Clan Elder’s aura poured into them. Once they were activated, he would immediately sense it.

No matter what arrangements were made, they would not be able to hide the attack from Cloud Boundless anymore. He would rush here as fast as he could.

Qin Yu didn’t show approval or disapproval. He believed Cloud Mist, but since the opponent had made their move, would they not have a way to deal with this? This carriage might be a turtle shell, but that didn’t necessarily mean it was safe!

As Qin Yu thought about this, his complexion changed. He turned his head and looked outside the window.

Half a body was flung out from the fog. The powerful vitality of the carriage driver allowed him to live momentarily even though he had suffered a fatal injury. The demon looked towards the carriage and shouted, “Young master, do not come out! Do not!”

Whoosh –

A black shadow cut through the half-body. With a heaven-shaking bang, the half-body blew apart into pieces of bone and meat.

Pa –

The figure landed on the ground. When he looked up at the carriage that was surrounded in layers of defensive demon runes, his eyes flashed with a cold luster.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward!

The facts proved that Qin Yu’s worries weren’t unwarranted. The assassin demon that walked towards the carriage raised a fist and punched out. His fist was wrapped in pitch black demonic energy that was as thick and viscous as ink. It crashed into the carriage, causing it to fiercely shake.

The counterforce caused the demonic energy on his fists to collapse, exposing cracked open flesh and blood, and even revealing the white bones beneath.

Inside the carriage, when Cloud Mist saw this her complexion paled further.

This was because a black stain now covered the defensive demon runes that wrapped around the carriage. Like wriggling insects, they spread outwards.

The assassin’s fist quickly regenerated without a single drop of blood flowing out. The assassin demon punched a second time without hesitation.

Bang –

A shaking fluctuation unexpectedly made it through the defenses of the carriage. Cloud Mist coughed, bitterness in her eyes.

The defensive demon runes that the Clan Elder personally laid down were incomparably formidable. Even though there was a super-powerhouse outside the carriage who was able to condense a Dominion, they still shouldn’t be able to break through its defenses easily.

A problem had occurred!

In this world, there was no such thing as perfection. Even demon runes laid down by the Clan Elder had their flaws.

It was clear that this terrifying powerhouse outside the carriage was informed about the weaknesses of the defensive demon runes ahead of time.

This wasn’t the Clan Elder. Otherwise, if he wanted to kill her, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Then there was only one other possibility…there were other traitors in the clan and they existed at a very high level. They even had the trust of the Clan Elder.

If not for that, this would never have occurred today.

But regardless of who it was, they had already succeeded. The originally impregnable carriage wouldn’t be able to last much longer.

This was just the second fist but it was nearing collapse. Once that happened…

Cloud Mist drew in a deep breath and calmed her mind. Although Qin Yu always thought she was a stupid woman, the truth was that if she was able to perfectly pose as Cloud Billow and even obtain the approval of the old King’s lineage, she wasn’t actually brainless.

She looked up at Qin Yu and said, “If the Clan Elder doesn’t make it here before the carriage’s defenses are broken through, I need you to kill me.”

Dark lines appeared on Qin Yu’s forehead.

Cloud Mist thought that he was worrying. “Don’t worry. Even if the Clan Elder learns of this, he will only thank you.”

Qin Yu lightly coughed. “You can do it yourself, right?”

“I cannot.” Cloud Mist was silent for a moment. “I cannot commit suicide. This involves a secret of the clan so I cannot tell you why, but I’m asking you to please do it for me.”

Qin Yu’s heart relaxed. He asked her this to make sure that she couldn’t. Otherwise, if she were to get overly excited and kill herself, his plan would come to nothing.

Now, in this situation…perhaps this assassination attempt was an excellent opportunity to impress Cloud Mist…

Uh…was this despicable? Maybe a little bit, but it’s not like he wanted to deceive her emotions, right? He had no other choice either.

When Qin Yu found a reason for himself, he immediately calmed down. As expected, self-comforting things like this were still useful.

So following this…mm, he had to make it realistic as if he suffered a loss…no, he definitely had to suffer a loss, or how else could he fool Cloud Boundless? That old freak wasn’t easy to deal with!

With this thought in mind, Qin Yu revealed an awkward and distressed expression. “Cloud Mist, are you sure you want me to kill you?”

Bang –

The carriage violently shook once again. The defensive demon runes crazily flashed once again but they were unable to pierce through the black energy that covered them. Instead, it only stimulated the black energy, causing it to spread faster.

Cloud Mist’s complexion grew increasingly pale. “Yes. You must remember to kill me…it is better if you even destroy my corpse…”

As she spoke to here, she pursed her lips, fear growing in her eyes.

Who in the world didn’t fear death? Much less someone like her, a woman who had patiently endured everything for the sake of her family.

She had never even truly lived a single day in the abyss using her real identity…of course she felt fear dying like this. Of course she felt unwillingness!

Qin Yu’s heart flickered with hesitation. This Cloud Mist was already too pitiful. If he continued fooling her like this, it seemed as if he would be going too far.

He took a breath and suppressed his emotions. There was nothing he could do about it…at worst he would just compensate her in the future.

“Alright, I agree!” When Qin Yu said this, Cloud Mist relaxed. But, she also felt disappointment.

It seems he really has no feelings towards me. Otherwise even if I asked him to kill me, he would struggle over the decision a little.

What a cruel man…this made Cloud Mist feel as if she had been betrayed, even if she didn’t want to acknowledge it.

But in truth, from the moment she willingly spoke to Qin Yu about marriage, some subtle changes had begun to occur to her feelings.

Qin Yu didn’t notice the small changes on Cloud Mist’s face. He looked at the demon outside the window, his eyes narrowing tightly.

Dominion…Black Astral had once said he could condense one. Even though Old Fox hadn’t said much, his eyes had flushed red.

In other words, only a peak Demon Commander that touched the threshold of a Demon King could condense a Dominion. Other Demon Commanders could not.

From this, he could approximately judge how strong this assassin was.

Since Feature left, Qin Yu hadn’t truly fought all-out. But ever since he achieved a half-dragon body, his strength had undoubtedly greatly improved.

There wasn’t much he could do against a Demon King, but there shouldn’t be anything to fear at the Demon Commander level.

What’s more, he also had other skills; there was the ability that the Nightmare bloodline had given him. Even though he had only used it a few times, it was incomparably powerful.

Self-preservation shouldn’t be a problem. If so, what he needed to do now was to figure out how to make this play seem even more realistic.

Bang –

The fifth fist!

After attacking continuously, even if this assassin was tyrannically strong he still had to withstand a severe backlash. At this time, the surface of his palm cracked open and the healing speed slowed. Blood finally dripped down.

But the defensive demon runes on the carriage had nearly been extinguished. Fewer than 20% of them remained lit.

Just one last punch. When this fist fell, he would be able to shatter the carriage and his mission would be complete.

He had to hurry, there could be no delay. That old freak Cloud Boundless was hurrying over here even right now. He could arrive at any moment, and if he wanted to withdraw unscathed, he had to finish before then.

So even though he had been injured from the backlash, the assassin continued without pause.

Bang –

The sixth fist punched out!

Cloud Mist closed her eyes and shouted, “Qin Yu, kill me!”

The carriage couldn’t block it any longer and the Clan Elder hadn’t yet arrived. Perhaps he would come soon, but this short difference in time was as far as the heavens and earth right now.

Qin Yu…if he could face off against the Adversity Peak City Lord, his strength was indeed formidable. But could he block the assassin…

Cloud Mist didn’t believe that. After all, an existence that could create such a powerful Dominion was only a step away from the King boundary.

Even if such an existence was inferior to the Clan Elder, the difference wasn’t too much. It would already be lucky if Qin Yu could escape alive.

How could he save her?

Death…was her only choice. No matter what plot this enemy had, it would utterly fail!
