Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 372: Chapter 383: Battle Against the Demon General (Part 2)

The middle-aged man looked at Chu Linfeng with disbelief etched on his face, shocked that Chu Linfeng could break through his spatial imprisonment. Chu Linfeng’s strength was clear to him.

Nobody would believe that someone who hadn’t yet reached the Divine Martial Realm could shatter the spatial imprisonment of a Seventh-Layer Divine Martial Realm martial artist.

The recoil to his heart spirit was naturally agonizing. The middle-aged man forced himself to stabilize his injuries and said to Chu Linfeng, ”Qingshuang, old man, I didn’t expect that after your reincarnation, you’d cultivate such bizarre martial skills. It’s truly an eye-opener!”

Chu Linfeng intended to strike while the iron was hot, swiftly conjuring an Ice and Fire Ball in his hand and hurling it toward his opponent.

However, his opponent elegantly dodged this attack, and the elemental energy of the Ice and Fire Ball blasted a crater nearly ten meters wide on the ground, creating cracks tens of meters long around it, with unfathomable depths.

Such immense power left Meng Ji and Ouyang Qian also astounded. If such an attack landed on them, it could indeed be lethal.

”What martial skill is this? Why is its attack power so formidable?” the middle-aged man asked in astonishment after dodging.

”You’re not qualified to know. Today marks your demise!” Chu Linfeng stated, launching another Ice and Fire Ball attack at his opponent.

With Chu Linfeng attacking the middle-aged man, Meng Ji and Ouyang Qian had no opportunity to assist. With such overwhelming attack power, they were likely to be caught in the crossfire. Although Chu Linfeng’s attacks were powerful, they failed to land a direct hit, leaving him frustrated.

It was like having plenty of money but not being able to buy what you need. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man pondered how to launch a surprise attack while Chu Linfeng was off guard.

With spatial imprisonment no longer an option, he had to devise another strategy since a frontal attack on Chu Linfeng would be reckless against such a potent water sphere.

The light shield on the other woman was also quite troublesome, making her an unlikely target. The only remaining target was Meng Ji, who could serve as leverage if captured, especially if Chu Linfeng truly cared for her.

After strategizing, the middle-aged man swiftly slashed his sword toward Chu Linfeng with devastating power, aiming to make it as realistic as possible, leaving no flaws visible.

The three of them dodged quickly. Although the opponent’s heart spirit was injured, his strength was still far superior, making a direct confrontation impossible.

The middle-aged man’s ghostly figure suddenly charged forward, but his target was not Chu Linfeng; it was Meng Ji. He dared not be careless with Chu Linfeng, for a direct Ice and Fire Ball attack on him would be troublesome.

But the middle-aged man miscalculated. His intentions had long been seen through by the three of them, and with Ouyang Qian’s Golden Scale Treasure Robe, his attacks couldn’t harm her.

He could only deal with Meng Ji, and since he feared Chu Linfeng’s Ice and Fire Ball, Meng Ji was the only viable target. Capturing her would allow him to leverage Chu Linfeng.

However, as the middle-aged man executed that slash, Chu Linfeng and Meng Ji dodged in the same direction, while Ouyang Qian moved to another side. Although she didn’t need to dodge, she did so to create a false impression for the opponent.

After the middle-aged man executed his slash, he rapidly dashed toward Meng Ji, but to his surprise, Chu Linfeng suddenly appeared beside him with an Ice and Fire Ball in hand.

He didn’t expect Meng Ji and Chu Linfeng to see through his intentions and promptly drifted to the side to avoid the dangerous object in Chu Linfeng’s hand.

Although Meng Ji’s strength was much weaker than his, subduing her wasn’t as easy as it seemed and could even inflict severe injuries on himself.

Chu Linfeng initially aimed to use the Ice and Fire Ball to attack the middle-aged man, but seeing him evade so deftly left him with little recourse. Close combat might work, but long-range attacks felt impotent.

The middle-aged man then moved several times and stopped about tens of meters from Chu Linfeng before saying with a smile, ”Qingshuang, today, I’ll let you go temporarily, but I’ll deal with you slowly when we meet again in the Canglan Ancient Land!”

After speaking, the middle-aged man’s figure transformed into a cloud of black mist and disappeared before the three of them.

Chu Linfeng looked toward where the black mist vanished and said, ”Why did he flee? He’s also going to Canglan Ancient Land—it seems something unusual is happening.”

Ouyang Qian retracted the light shield from her Golden Scale Treasure Robe and said, ”His spatial imprisonment was destroyed by you, damaging his heart spirit, and I have the Golden Scale Treasure Robe protecting me. He couldn’t do anything to me, possibly targeted you, but your mysterious Ice and Fire Ball made him wary, and Meng Ji’s strength is formidable. Dealing with her isn’t easy, so he opted to escape.”

”Indeed, Qian’er makes a good point. Lin Feng, you know this guy’s identity very well, but today, his attitude was unusually strange, which I find very odd. The most glaring thing was that he dared to attack me—do you understand the implications?” Meng Ji remarked.

”I’m not very sure either. That he recognized my identity is what puzzles me most. I recall you not fully disclosing his details when we went to Ruo Shui.

And the fact he’s heading to Canglan Ancient Land as well makes things more perplexing. Canglan Ancient Land is a place filled with powerful individuals, and for him as someone from the Demon Race, it’s dangerous. What’s his true motive?” Chu Linfeng pondered.

”We should head back. None of us anticipated such an incident. Lin Feng, you must be more cautious when you go to Canglan Ancient Land. Since he dared say he’d take his time dealing with you there, it means he probably has influence there,” Ouyang Qian advised.

”Let’s go. Lin Yue and Big Brother must be very worried about us at this moment,” Chu Linfeng said.

The three of them then soared into the sky without having Chu Lin or his daughter carry them. Chu Linfeng wanted to truly fly this time, to grasp the mysteries of borrowing the power of heaven and earth.

Chu Linfeng’s speed in the air was quite slow, even slower than on land. Meanwhile, Meng Ji and Ouyang Qian shared their understanding of how to fly by leveraging the power of heaven and earth.

The ideas sounded simple, but executing them was quite challenging. Chu Linfeng then said to Ouyang Qian, ”Qian’er, you go back first and inform Lin Yue and the others. I want to master this skill of flying in the sky!”

Ouyang Qian understood Chu Linfeng’s intention, nodded, and quickly departed...
