Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Power of a Single Punch

The Cyan Frost Sword in Chu Linfeng’s hand emitted a slight humming sound after being infused with Chaos Qi, as if it was a long-lost friend meeting again in excitement.

The Sword Aura was faintly discernible, making it hard to judge the power of this move, yet Chu Linfeng felt he could barely hold onto the Cyan Frost Sword, as if it was about to fly away on its own.

Many people closed their eyes, not out of a desire to see Chu Linfeng severely injure the old man, but rather out of fear that he might be instantly slain.

Lin Ruoxi and Sima Jingyi, however, were staring unwaveringly at Chu Linfeng because he gave them a confident look when he unleashed this third move.

Both women were exceptionally intelligent and naturally understood what Chu Linfeng’s gaze signified—he wasn’t being impulsive and certainly had the martial skill to injure his opponent to proceed in this manner.

Sima Jingyi initially thought Chu Linfeng had too many secrets. Now she was somewhat worried that Elder Wu might be injured by him, although this thought seemed unrealistic, her intuition told her it was very possible.

When Chu Linfeng struck with this seemingly unremarkable third move, the old man immediately regarded the Cyan Frost Sword in Chu Linfeng’s hand as if facing a formidable foe.

He felt an unprecedented force on the blade, and the defense barrier he set up with his Star Power might find it difficult to withstand.

He might truly be injured by this move, and with a shift in thought, a dark green long sword appeared in his hand.

Even though Liu Yuankai was severely injured, he watched Chu Linfeng’s every move attentively. Just this seemingly unremarkable move, dubbed the Dog-Slaying Slash by Chu Linfeng, had gravely injured him.

This move seemed ordinary, yet it was imbued with powerful Star Sword Qi, catching one off-guard. He vaguely felt that the strong fighters from the City Lord’s Mansion could very well be injured by this sword.

After Chu Linfeng’s Cyan Frost Sword struck, it instantly reached the old man, yet it was still blocked by that invisible barrier.

Others couldn’t see it, but the old man could clearly see his defense barrier cracking like a spider’s web, and at most, it would completely shatter in less than five seconds.

Chaos Qi was not as simple as Star Power. The barrier that the old man thought would take five seconds to shatter broke within two seconds.

And Chu Linfeng’s Cyan Frost Sword, without any stagnation, continued to slash towards his body.

The power capable of breaking open a barrier built with his Star Power was imaginable, and if it struck his body, the consequences would be unthinkable.

In a moment of life and death, face meant nothing, and the old man hurriedly used the long sword in his hand to block.

There was no time to execute a martial skill, and the only thing to do was to use his Star Power to cover the sword and directly resist the opponent’s strike with his strong Star Power.

He believed that after the barrier and the energy drain from the incoming strike, this sword, though not at the end of its strength, did not possess much attack power.

With his Third Level of Earth Martial Realm Star Power, he could naturally easily deflect this move. However, being forced to use a weapon to block, this kid really was a genius.

Just as the old man thought he could easily take Chu Linfeng’s strike, something happened that shocked everyone.

Chu Linfeng’s sword came directly to the front of the old man, and during the one or two seconds it broke through the barrier, nobody noticed it.

The old man hurriedly raised his sword to block, but he heard a ”puff!” and the long sword in the old man’s hand broke into several pieces.

And Chu Linfeng’s sword was right in the opponent’s chest, with the opponent gripping the blade, blood dripping continuously from his hand.

If Chu Linfeng’s sword had penetrated a little more, perhaps the opponent could truly have been severely injured and actually killed.

At that moment, the old man with his other hand threw a punch with all his might towards Chu Linfeng, and if struck, with a Third Level of Earth Martial Realm’s strength, he could very likely be killed on the spot.

Chu Linfeng faced a major dilemma—if he escaped, he had to abandon the Cyan Frost Sword, as he had gripped it so tightly that he couldn’t pull it out at all.

But the Cyan Frost Sword was an Ancient Divine Artifact; how could he abandon it? Besides, how could a martial artist, who couldn’t even protect his weapon, stand firm in this world where might is everything?

”I prefer to die in battle rather than retreat!” Chu Linfeng decided in his heart.

He also swung a punch with the other hand, ready to take the opponent’s punch head-on. Though he knew it was undoubtedly like an egg hitting a stone, he had no choice.

Seeing that Chu Linfeng had managed to force the old man to retaliate and even caused him injury, everyone found it hard to believe.

One must understand that the opponent was a top expert at the Third Level of Earth Martial Realm, and in Liuyun City, he was one of the top figures, yet he was injured by someone who was labeled as a waste just a few months ago.

If Chu Linfeng’s earlier defeat of Liu Yuankai was shocking, then injuring the top expert from the City Lord’s Mansion was even more astounding, with the risk of a brain hemorrhage from sheer amazement.

At the moment Chu Linfeng swung his punch, he suddenly felt a powerful force surging through his arm, a force that instantly filled his entire arm.

His veins and muscles showed signs of being torn apart, and if he hadn’t reached the first layer of the Star Body, which had improved his muscles and veins anew,

this force could potentially render this arm useless. Chu Linfeng felt that if there was a bull in front of him now, he could punch it into the sky.

It is often said that boasting is blowing things sky-high, little knowing that Chu Linfeng at this moment could literally punch something sky-high, although not in that particular area. (Xiao Xiao is evil, haha!)

Enduring the pain in his arm, Chu Linfeng knew it was the power of Sword Spirit Yue’er, and after using this power, she would likely fall into slumber.

”Lin Feng, it’s sudden, and I may not be able to kill this guy, but severely injuring him is still possible. Remember the promise you made to me...” The voice of Sword Spirit was very weak as it appeared in Chu Linfeng’s mind.

From receiving the power of the Sword Spirit in his arm to throwing the punch took a long time to describe, but in reality, it happened in an instant, as their fists collided.

However, when the old man saw that Chu Linfeng refused to abandon his sword and instead decided to trade punches, he laughed internally.

”You brought this upon yourself, don’t blame me!” He originally used eighty percent of his attack power for this punch, but upon seeing Chu Linfeng also throw a punch, he went to full strength.

He needed to kill this guy with one punch, or his heart’s anger wouldn’t be appeased.

”Boom!” There was a great bang as their fists collided.

Immediately, the ground beneath them began to sink, and both were flung dozens of meters away due to the enormous rebound force caused by the attack.

A gust of energy-driven wind picked up the dirt on the ground and flung it into the air, even more powerful than when Chu Linfeng used Wind-Rolling Clouds.

Rocks and sand flew, day turned to night, giving an apocalyptic feeling.

Quite a few people nearby were directly swept into the air, subsequently turning into a rain of blood and disappearing without leaving a single bone; the scene was truly terrifying.

The fact that their confrontation produced such might was something that all present found unbelievable, yet it was a reality they had to face.

Soon, as the dust settled, the condition of the two men became clear to everyone, and they saw...
