Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 110: Chapter 111: Watching the Show

The two quietly walked toward the source of the fighting noises, constantly mindful of their presence to avoid being discovered.

After arriving behind a protruding rock, Chu Linfeng and Yang Rui stopped, only about a hundred meters away from the fighting spot.

Peeking from behind the rock, Chu Linfeng saw that dozens of fighters were students from Celestial Dragon Academy. Among them were two very familiar figures, Niu Tian and Tang Li.

Yang Rui also saw them, ”Chu Linfeng, why are they fighting? What are they competing for? Aren’t you going to help them? These two are your friends.”

”Help, of course, but look: Niu Tian has seven people, the other side has nine. They’re still evenly matched; we’ll watch and wait until they are in danger before going in. Going now would just make people say we took advantage of the situation.” Chu Linfeng turned his head, smiling at Yang Rui.

”Helping out won’t lead to gossip. If I’m in trouble and someone helps me, I’d be nothing but grateful. I really don’t get your logic.” Yang Rui thought Chu Linfeng was acting irrationally.

”Think about it: if they can handle it themselves, who would want more people to share the benefits? If we intervene now, later they’ll say we were unnecessary. But if they’re in danger, then it’s a different scenario. You ought to have a clear understanding of the advantages we’d get; it would then be justified.”

”Oh, didn’t realize you thought this far ahead; really deep thinking!”

”How else could I make you fall head over heels for me?”

”Who’s fallen for you? You’re such a scoundrel.”

”Someone’s fallen for me, hahahaha!”

They kept their voices low to avoid being overheard. At this moment, Yang Rui’s face flushed red, feeling utterly annoyed at Chu Linfeng, but helpless to do anything.

Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out, shaking the rock they were behind. Chu Linfeng saw at least five people blown into the air.

”What’s that thing? Why is it so powerful?” Chu Linfeng hesitantly asked Yang Rui.

”Seems like a gunpowder explosion. How is there gunpowder here? Could it be a disciple from the Lei Family?” Yang Rui pondered in surprise.

In the fight, a dirt-streaked Niu Tian shouted angrily, ”Who ambushed me? Get out here!”

Tang Li was also furious, ”Lei Family scum, don’t pretend nobody knows you. I know damn well you fired a Blast Arrow at me! I’m going to make sure you die ugly!”

Of the five people blown away, three did not get up, and two were covered in blood. On Niu Tian’s side, two were down; the other side had three. The explosive’s power was considerable.

”Are Blast Arrows this powerful? Tang Li, do you know?” Chu Linfeng asked.

”Of course, Blast Arrows are the Lei Family’s exclusive firearms, similar to our Yang Sect’s Meteor Fire Rain. The Lei Family is famous for their firearms.

Within the Celestial Dragon Empire, they are a difficult family to deal with and have ties with our Yang Family since both come from Firearms Families. But this time they dared bomb Tang Family members; this will be an interesting show.” Yang Rui remarked to Chu Linfeng, seemingly unconcerned about her friend Tang Li.

”Is the Tang Family powerful? How does it compare to your Yang Family?”

”The Tang Family isn’t really a top-tier family, more like upper-middle class. Many families are stronger, like the Liu Family, the Gusu Family, and the Xuanyuan Family; these families have at least three experts in the Celestial Martial Realm, while the Tang Family may have only one.”

”Celestial Martial Realm experts? Does your family have them?” Chu Linfeng paused before speaking again.

”Trying to probe the Yang Family’s secrets? Not going to tell you.” Yang Rui continued, ”Though if Celestial Martial experts come to the Tang Sect, out of ten, at most one can escape. Does that answer please you?”

”Impressive!” Chu Linfeng laughed bitterly.

In his heart, he thought: ”Celestial Martial experts, one escapes out of ten? You really think the Yang Family has Divine Martial Realm experts. Such thoughtlessness, pure foolishness.”

At this moment, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy appeared, with a headband and numerous strange-looking arrows on his back, holding a yellow longbow.

”It’s Lei Yi, from the regular third class, known as a formidable figure among the regulars, aiming for the elite class. Especially renowned for his powerful firearms,” one student exclaimed in surprise.

Lei Yi stopped about twenty meters away from Niu Tian and the others, pulling an arrow from his back boldly said, ”Who wants to settle scores with Lei Yi? Who thinks they can make me die ugly?”

Blast Arrows can directly impact a Third Level of Earth Martial Realm martial artist, similar to Yang Rui’s Meteor Fire Rain. They can seriously wound Fourth Level of Earth Martial Realm martial artists. Lei Yi’s words left a bad taste in the crowd’s ears.

”I said it, dare shoot another arrow, just sniping from the shadows—what skill is that?” Niu Tian growled, furious at being bombed without the right to speak up. How was that fair?

”Lei Yi, don’t strut around; look where you are. You dare openly flaunt here, thinking your Blast Arrows can scare anyone? I refuse to believe it!” Tang Li’s fiery temper would not bow even to kings; certainly not to Lei Yi.

Those fighting against Niu Tian were also furious; with a death and two injuries on their side, this brat, without red or yellow words, sneakily attacked. Now he blatantly aims an arrow at them as if they are beneath his notice.

”Hey, I suggest we set aside our grievances for now and deal with that guy first. We were just fighting for leadership, but he killed three; we must avenge them!” said a youth in purple attire on the opposition.

Niu Tian looked at Tang Li, then at his teammates, saying, ”We settle this punk then contest. But his arrows are too powerful; what’s the plan to counter him?”

Seeing they stopped fighting and glancing his way, seemingly scheming something, Lei Yi quickly caught on. This bunch is uniting against him.

”Hey, I’ll give you one minute to set the Demon Crystals on the ground and leave quickly, or my Blast Arrows will show no mercy.” Lei Yi, aware of their plan, remained confident in his Blast Arrows.

”Everyone spread out, then he’ll be confused about who to target. We slowly form an encirclement, surrounding him. I refuse to believe with so many of us we can’t deal with him!” said the youth in purple who previously spoke to Niu Tian.

Everyone thought his plan was reasonable, so they ran to the sides, making Lei Yi unsure who to aim at with his arrow.

Yang Rui and Chu Linfeng quietly watched this intriguing spectacle from behind the rock. If Niu Tian and Tang Li truly faced danger, Chu Linfeng would rush in first. But he felt curious about the usefulness of the Demon Crystals placed within the Red Luminous Stone...
