Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Challenging an Earth Martial Realm Expert

”Goodness! You even learned to ambush people like my grandfather!” Chu Linfeng said, remaining composed in the face of danger.

The Star Power instantly enveloped the Cyan Frost Sword, and without hesitation, he slashed it out against the black-clad man’s martial skill.

It was too late to deploy martial skills, but relying on the Star Power within himself and the newly mastered First Layer of the Star Body shouldn’t pose much danger.

The black-clad man was overjoyed as he saw Chu Linfeng directly attack. ”Kid, this time you won’t escape death. This martial skill of mine is a Yellow Tier Top Grade martial skill. You underestimate me too much.”

Just as he thought that Chu Linfeng couldn’t escape death under his martial skill, an unexpected event occurred.

Chu Linfeng’s sword clashed with his sword, and after a metallic ringing sound, his long sword shattered into several pieces.

The black-clad man’s sword was a Spirit Tier Middle Grade weapon, yet it was cut down by the opponent without using martial skills, solely with the Star Power, which was unbelievable to him.

There are only two possibilities for such a situation: either the opponent’s Star Power is too powerful, or the opponent is wielding a divine weapon.

Looking at the rusty, shabby sword in Chu Linfeng’s hand, it didn’t seem like a divine weapon. The only explanation was that his Star Power was overwhelmingly strong.

Even though his sword was destroyed, his martial skill’s attack was not over; the formless Sword Qi of Star Power landed all over Chu Linfeng.

Chu Linfeng’s Cyan Frost Sword paused for half a second before piercing directly into his heart.

The black-clad man clearly saw his martial skill attack rip several big holes in Chu Linfeng’s clothes, but the strange thing was that there was no blood on his body.

In the torn spots of his clothes, a few whip-like marks were visible, faint in color, as if whipped by a lash.

”How is this possible? He used his body to block my martial skill, how strong must his body be!”

A sharp pain came from his chest, and the life force was rapidly draining away. Until his death, he couldn’t understand why someone could block his martial skill with just their body.

Chu Linfeng’s face flashed with a cold gleam. He had dealt with one and there was still another. Quickly, he drew out the Cyan Frost Sword to face the most formidable leader of the black-clad men.

Once again, he realized the potential of the Cyan Frost Sword: it could cut through other weapons directly. Although the seal was not yet lifted, this Ancient Divine Artifact’s basic attributes were somewhat confirmed.

Meanwhile, Lin Ruoxi had finally slain her opponent. Having killed for the first time, she felt a bit scared, her face slightly pale from the inner turmoil.

Chu Linfeng looked at the leader of the black-clad men and said, ”Now you’re the only one left. Tell me who sent you, and I’ll leave your body intact!”

Lin Ruoxi also approached, intercepting the black-clad leader with Chu Linfeng in front and behind, ”Lin Feng, finish him quickly; the Chu Family must be fighting by now.”

”Heh, Ruoxi, after killing one person your courage has grown, huh? Let’s take him together and see who finishes him first!” Chu Linfeng said, smiling at Lin Ruoxi, not taking the black-clad leader seriously at all.

”Kid, you’re going too far! Even if I die today, I’ll take you with me!” shouted the black-clad leader in rage, being disregarded by the two juniors as a huge humiliation.

”I’ll accompany you! Ruoxi, start!” After saying this, Chu Linfeng launched a Light Clouds and Gentle Wind attack towards him.

Lin Ruoxi, unwilling to lag behind, unleashed Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers once more. The two of them launched powerful martial skills, flanking the black-clad leader.

Such a front-and-back assault would mean certain death for any ordinary person.

However, the black-clad leader had his own tricks. Before Chu Linfeng and Lin Ruoxi’s attack could hit him, he quickly struck out with two palms.

Furthermore, he slashed out with both hands simultaneously, then swiftly side-stepped two meters away, leaving behind an afterimage.

His two palms directly halted the attack from Chu Linfeng and Lin Ruoxi, as his powerful palm force clashed with their Sword Qi, even seeming to have the upper hand.

”So strong? This guy is at the Ninth Layer of Black Tortoise Realm. Ruoxi, be careful!” Chu Linfeng felt something was wrong and immediately warned.

”Lin Feng, use the strongest attack. Don’t worry about wasting Star Power; your Star Power is enormous, no need to hold back,” said Sword Spirit Yue’er suddenly.

Chu Linfeng didn’t respond to Sword Spirit, yelling angrily, ”I didn’t realize you had some skills, take another hit from me!”

Lin Ruoxi knew Chu Linfeng must be planning to use his most powerful attack. She initially considered using Sea of Flowers, but eventually gave up.

”Wind-Rolling Clouds!”

Chu Linfeng channeled his Star Power, rapidly deploying this strongest move.

In that instant, a tornado formed in front of Chu Linfeng, swiftly striking towards the black-clad leader.

The speed was so fast that the black-clad leader couldn’t dodge in time. A deep trench was gouged out between them, with soil and stones mixed together.

The black-clad leader gazed seriously at the sudden tornado, ”What a powerful attack!”

He clearly sensed that the Star Power hidden within the tornado was not simple; to resist this move, ordinary martial skills were far from enough.

However, he had a martial skill called Bloodthirsty Frenzy Slash, which burned his own life to enhance his power.

Using blood as a catalyst, he could unleash his life’s potential, instantly boosting his strength by more than one level, but the consequences were severe.

After all, you gain some, you lose some. There’s no free lunch. After using this move, you can’t use Star Power for at least a month, or risk ruining your meridians, not even celestial elixirs could save you.

Most importantly, boosting strength this way would directly shorten his lifespan by ten years; the higher the realm, the more it decreases.

In this world, a martial artist’s lifespan correlates closely with their power.

Ordinary people can live to seventy, a martial artist at the Profound Tier can live to a hundred. Those in the Earth Martial Realm, from the First to Ninth Layer, can live between one hundred to five hundred years.

Once reaching the Earth Martial Realm, lifespan significantly lengthens, and at the Celestial Martial Realm, each realm advancement grants two hundred additional years of life.

Some Celestial Martial Masters are over two thousand years old, while those who break into the Divine Martial Realm gain five hundred more years per realm, some even reaching a millennium.

The higher the power, the longer the lifespan. It’s common knowledge that many train to live to a hundred years or even a thousand or ten thousand years!

The black-clad leader’s strength was at the Ninth Layer of Black Tortoise Realm. When he used the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Slash, he reached the First Level of Earth Martial Realm, greatly enhancing his power.

A mist of blood appeared around him, then vanished, his face contorted in pain, a frightening sight.

In an instant, the aura around the black-clad leader soared. Facing Chu Linfeng’s Wind-Rolling Clouds, he moved his hands continuously, bringing a wave of palm shadows as he charged forward.

The sudden change in aura caught Chu Linfeng by surprise, and he immediately shouted to Lin Ruoxi, ”Ruoxi, use the strongest attack, it seems this guy has broken through...”
