Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 360: Chapter 371: Magical Beast Leader

Meng Ji, though worried about Chu Linfeng, felt somewhat reassured thinking about the Golden Scale Treasure Robe on him. Glancing at the magical beast she had slain, she noticed that the fluid flowing from its body wasn’t red blood but a black, foul-smelling liquid.

This was the first time she had seen such a phenomenon, and there seemed to be a metallic sheen on its body. It seemed she understood something, recalling from ancient books she had read about the existence of certain strange magical beasts.

These magical beasts were not real flesh and blood; some were directly composed of energy, like the Fire Charm and Ice Demon, while others were made up of metal molecules, much like the metallic magical beast she now saw.

Such magical beasts had strong defense, and their attack power wasn’t bad either. If you couldn’t kill it in one strike, it would relentlessly pursue you. However, these beasts had simple minds. Upon encountering an enemy, they only knew to attack and wouldn’t flee.

Meng Ji stood on the bank, staring at the pitch-black Ruo Shui, hoping Chu Linfeng could drive the beast to the surface so she could help him slay it.

But the density of Ruo Shui was too great for her to communicate with him directly. Still, she decided to shout out loud to see if Chu Linfeng could hear her.

”Lin Feng, attack the beast beside you to the surface, and I’ll help you eliminate it!” she shouted directly at the Ruo Shui. Her voice was so high-pitched that if a Fifth Layer of Celestial Martial Realm martial artist were present, it could have ruptured their eardrums, showcasing the loudness of her voice.

Chu Linfeng, at the bottom of Ruo Shui, was calmly perceiving the surroundings’ activities. Since he had attacked one beast out of the water, the other beasts had become cautious, seemingly waiting for something instead of approaching him.

Chu Linfeng heard Meng Ji’s voice clearly but could not transmit his voice outside like hers. The pressure in Ruo Shui was enormous; even with the Golden Scale Treasure Robe, breathing was difficult, not to mention shouting loudly.

Chu Linfeng suddenly sensed several more black dots approaching him, indicating the appearance of more beasts. It seemed there were quite a few of these creatures in Ruo Shui, necessitating cautious handling.

The number of black dots increased, totaling about a dozen. He couldn’t just sit and wait for death; he needed to quickly break through or drive them all to the surface.

Though the Sixth Form of the Demon-Breaking Fist was powerful, it consumed a lot of Chaotic Dragon Power. If he could use the Fifth Form to attack to the surface, even against a hundred, Chu Linfeng wouldn’t worry. He decided to try it on the nearest one.

With his eyes tightly shut, he used Heart Power to perceive the surroundings, sometimes more effective than seeing, giving a comprehensive view and even clear images of movements behind him in his mind.

However, not everyone could freely use Heart Power to perceive like Chu Linfeng. No one in the Celestial Martial Realm had perceptions as powerful as his, as it required concentrating the Spirit, Essence, and Qi, maintaining a state of void clarity to detect movements in such an environment.

Chu Linfeng waited patiently, circulating his Chaotic Dragon Power in his arms. When a beast attacked him, before it got close, he swiftly threw a punch.

The enormous fist force caused a massive ripple in the surrounding Ruo Shui, clearly visible to Meng Ji on the shore, knowing Chu Linfeng was attacking the beasts.

Meng Ji was prepared to instantly use Spatial Imprisonment, and indeed, seconds later, a beast like the previous one burst through the surface.

With quick reflexes, she used Spatial Imprisonment to move it to the shore, then clasped her hands together, crushing it into a thin skin. The prowess of a Divine Martial Realm expert was fully showcased at this moment.

Realizing the Fifth Form’s effectiveness increased Chu Linfeng’s confidence, so he proactively approached the beasts, quickly executing the Demon-Breaking Fist’s Fifth Form, driving them to the surface for Meng Ji to slay.

Sometimes, it took more than one punch to drive the beasts out. Despite their evasive maneuvers, Chu Linfeng attacked six beasts to the surface in less than ten minutes.

The remaining beasts, seemingly gaining intelligence, began to retreat. Chu Linfeng felt a sense of helplessness; in Ruo Shui, though limited, the beasts moved much faster than him, making it impossible to chase and attack them.

Just as Chu Linfeng was about to give up, two beasts made chirping sounds, which caused dizziness in Chu Linfeng, startling him.

”Could these beasts perform a sonic attack? That’s impossible!” Chu Linfeng muttered to himself.

”It’s not a sonic attack but a rescue signal. Lin Feng, you’re in trouble now; more powerful or numerous beasts will surely appear soon, so be prepared!” Sword Spirit said.

”Really? How can you be so sure they’re calling for reinforcements? Did you see something?” Chu Linfeng asked in surprise.

”It’s not what I saw, but what I sensed. A strong wave is heading your way. If I’m right, you’re likely about to face the king of these beasts, along with its followers,” Sword Spirit explained.

Chu Linfeng’s expression changed. These metallic magical beasts, similar to the Flame Snake King and Flaming Scorpion he encountered in the desert, most likely had a leader, implying formidable strength if it appeared.

”What should I do? Returning to the shore doesn’t seem easy in this Ruo Shui!” Chu Linfeng pondered.

”Let’s wait and see. If the beast hasn’t reached Divine Martial Realm strength, your Fire Transformation should handle it. Solve that chief, and you’re safe. Perceiving with Heart Power for the Water Spirit Pearl is more effective than using eyes; I’m confident you can obtain it,” Sword Spirit reassured.

Chu Linfeng frantically circulated Chaotic Dragon Power within his body. He wanted to quickly comprehend the last form of the Demon-Breaking Fist, but the urgent setting didn’t allow it.

Regretting not understanding it earlier and feeling how challenging it was to grasp something new under pressure, he wished he had made time for learning before.

Sensing black dots increasingly, one appeared several times larger than the others. This was likely the king, as Sword Spirit had suggested.

Soon, Chu Linfeng felt the enormous beast leader before him, observing without immediately attacking.

As Chu Linfeng was about to attack it, the beast made an astonishing human voice...
