Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Punishing Liu Mang

A hundred spirit stones, this is an extremely large number, enough to make many people envious.

”Liu Mang, you think so highly of me, actually willing to offer a hundred spirit stones, it seems like your family background isn’t too bad!” Chu Linfeng said with a smile, looking at the furious expression in Liu Mang’s eyes.

People die for wealth, birds die for food. Under the temptation of a hundred spirit stones, Liu Mang’s followers rushed to attack Chu Linfeng.

Watching these followers approach him, Chu Linfeng coldly smiled and, with a slip of his foot, executed the ”Wave-Riding Light Steps”, a stepping technique from the first three forms of the Wind Chasing Sword Technique.

Before anyone could see clearly what happened, he had already moved two meters away, and at this moment, one follower lunged at him.

”Light Clouds and Gentle Wind!”

This was the fourth form of the Wind Chasing Sword Technique. Its power, as a Profound Tier Martial Skill, far surpassed that of ordinary Yellow Tier Martial Skills. The Cyan Frost Sword in Chu Linfeng’s hand traced a graceful arc in the air.

Then, a bloodied head fell from the follower’s neck, yet there wasn’t a single trace of blood on Chu Linfeng’s Cyan Frost Sword.

A single strike, executed with utmost speed. Chu Linfeng was very pleased with this result. Although he was reluctant to kill without reason, there was no need to sympathize with these opportunistic lackeys.

”Hmph, not worth a blow!”

After finishing off one follower with one move, Chu Linfeng didn’t stop. In an instant, he was in front of another follower, and with the same technique, drew another beautiful arc, causing another person to lose all vitality forever.

Having slain two people instantaneously, Chu Linfeng at this moment resembled a demon, causing Liu Mang, standing aside, to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing his companions killed in an instant, the other follower immediately decided to flee, not caring for Liu Mang’s fate, valuing his own life above all.

Chu Linfeng slowly walked up to Liu Mang and said with a smile, ”Liu Mang, are you surprised that this ’useless wretch’ dares to challenge you today? Are you regretting not bringing more people now?”

”Chu... Chu Linfeng, don’t be smug. I am the young master of the Liu Family, what can you possibly do to me?” At this moment, Liu Mang still attempted to intimidate others with his Liu Family identity.

”Liu Mang, I hate being threatened the most. Is the Liu Family terrifying?

I don’t think so. You dared to rob an elder trying to save his grandson. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog? I’ll rid the people of evil today!” Chu Linfeng’s eyes emitted a chilling fury.

Seeing Chu Linfeng’s gaze, Liu Mang seemed to see the eyes of death. Remembering how he killed those two followers coldly before, he couldn’t help but release a warm stream beneath him, wetting the ground through his pants.

Chu Linfeng didn’t expect this guy would actually wet himself out of fear, ”How do you want to die?” his voice was extremely cold.

”I don’t want to die, Chu Linfeng. For the sake of us being noble descendants, spare me this once! I dare not do it again!” Liu Mang had already lowered his dignity to the utmost, almost kneeling to beg Chu Linfeng.

”Trash, killing you would dirty my hands, but how should today’s affairs be settled?” Chu Linfeng didn’t really want to kill Liu Mang.

Although his actions were detestable, he was still of the Liu Family, and the Chu Family was in crisis; he couldn’t bring catastrophic disaster to the family through an impulsive act.

Hearing that Chu Linfeng was willing to let him go, Liu Mang was overjoyed, ”I’ll immediately return the Magic Beast Egg to that old man and compensate him with another hundred spirit stones. What do you think?”

Chu Linfeng thought this outcome was not bad. A hundred spirit stones would be enough for the old man and his grandson’s expenses for ten years.

”Hand it over!” Chu Linfeng’s face remained expressionless. Towards people like Liu Mang, toughness was necessary, or he wouldn’t give in.

Liu Mang took out a white magic beast egg from his storage belt, then retrieved a hundred spirit stones and asked, ”Can I leave now?”

”Scram!” Chu Linfeng couldn’t be bothered with him. Liu Mang and the earlier injured follower slinked away from the crowd.

Chu Linfeng then walked up to the old man and smiled, ”Older gentleman, here are your Magic Beast Egg and medical expenses. Go quickly and find a doctor for your grandson!”

Then, looking at the onlookers, Chu Linfeng angrily warned, ”If anyone dares to covet the old man’s magic beast egg and spirit stones, if I find out, I’ll show no mercy. Don’t harbor any flukes; I will do as I say.”

Chu Linfeng indeed felt a little worried, as a hundred spirit stones weren’t a small amount. The old man had no means to protect this wealth, so he had to give these malicious people an initial warning.

The old man’s complexion improved a lot by now, ”Benevolent one, thank you! You are truly a great person!”

Chu Linfeng felt slightly embarrassed, ”Don’t say that. People like Liu Mang should have been taught a lesson long ago. Old sir, you should quickly find a doctor for your grandson’s treatment!”

Chu Linfeng’s actions today immediately became a topic of discussion among the crowd. Many in Liuyun City knew him and some of his affairs.

Rising from a ’useless wretch’ to a hero championing good and defeating evil was indeed beyond everyone’s expectations.

The old man, seeing Chu Linfeng’s caring expression, choked out, ”Benefactor, I don’t know how to repay your great kindness; please, you must accept this Magic Beast Egg no matter what.”

Chu Linfeng initially wanted to refuse, but then Sword Spirit Yue’er’s voice came from his mind, ”Quickly accept it. This is a good thing. I didn’t expect to find traces of it in this place.”

Chu Linfeng had to act reluctantly and accept the Magic Beast Egg from the old man’s hands, ”Then I thank the old gentleman!”

After handing the Magic Beast Egg to Chu Linfeng, the old man hurriedly left, perhaps due to his grandson’s critical illness, without a moment’s pause.

Chu Linfeng didn’t leave until the old man’s figure disappeared from the street, and no one dared to covet the old man’s spirit stones during this time.

Returning home, Chu Linfeng eagerly took out the Magic Beast Egg given by the old man from within his clothes.

This Magic Beast Egg wasn’t very large, about the size of a goose egg at most, pure white and quite cute.

”Sister Yue’er, you say this is a good thing; what kind of magic beast’s egg is it actually?” Chu Linfeng asked curiously.

He wasn’t really familiar with magic beast eggs, having often seen them being sold, but usually, they were just low-tier magic beast eggs.

The hatched magic beasts weren’t impressive, consuming a lot of food, and many people were unwilling to tame magic beasts.

Of course, there were exceptions like the Flame Horse and the Flying Vulture. If trained well, they could be used as transportation, but such magic beasts were exceedingly rare.

Chu Linfeng remembered that only the City Lord’s Mansion in Liuyun City had a Flying Vulture, reportedly bought at a high price from other places.

”Lin Feng, do you know the levels of magic beasts?” Sword Spirit Yue’er didn’t directly answer Chu Linfeng, but rather asked.

”I know a bit, low-tier magic beasts, middle-tier magic beasts, and high-tier magic beasts.”

”You really are a bit ignorant! To not know even these things, let this young lady educate you!

The levels of magic beasts are quite similar to human power levels. Tier One to Tier Three magic beasts equate to the attack power of a Spiritual Martial Artist. Tier Four to Tier Six magic beasts equate to the attack power of the Black Tortoise Realm.

Tier Seven to Tier Nine magic beasts have the attack power of the Earth Martial Realm, and these tiers of magic beasts are somewhat dangerous.

Spirits beasts are those that break through Tier Nine, having three levels corresponding to the nine layers of the Celestial Martial Realm.

First-tier Spirit Beasts have the power of the Third Layer of the Celestial Martial Realm, second-tier have the power of the Sixth Layer of the Celestial Martial Realm, and third-tier possess the power of the Ninth Layer, possibly even stronger.

Spirit beasts that surpass third tier are called Holy Beasts, and their attack power is terrifying, though they generally don’t appear in human territories.”

Chu Linfeng was dumbfounded and took a while to recover, ”Then do you know what type of magic beast this egg belongs to?”
