Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 506: Chapter 520: Poisonous Gu Returns

”The attack power is not bad, and the mastery of the Water Element has reached a certain level. I hope you can offer a more outstanding performance next time,” said Chu Linfeng.

Neither of the two women’s attacks harmed Chu Linfeng, which filled everyone in the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion with awe and respect as they gazed at him. At this moment, they finally understood what a true powerhouse was.

”I’ll give you a half incense stick’s worth of rest. Your attack power in the first round was evenly matched, so it’s considered a draw. I hope this last round will surprise me,” Chu Linfeng said with a smile.

Ye Suping glanced at Chu Linfeng and said, ”Lin Feng, what if the second round is also evenly matched? Are you going to do it again?”

”Sister Ping, don’t worry. I already have someone in mind, just depending on whether she can satisfy me this time,” Chu Linfeng said, glancing intentionally at Lin Shuang and Lin Xue, leaving everyone uncertain about his decision.

The half incense stick’s time passed quickly, and Lin Xue came to a stop not far in front of Chu Linfeng and said, ”I hope this strike won’t disappoint Sect Master Chu.”

After saying this, the long sword in her hand was once again engulfed by blazing flames, and a roar like that of a beast emerged from the blade. The flames formed a phantom of a beast, resembling a leopard, charging at Chu Linfeng with thunderous momentum.

Being able to perform such a Martial Skill is indeed not simple, especially when executing this move, the space around the grand hall trembled incessantly. Countless Flaming Sword Qi instantly heightened the temperature of the entire hall considerably, making everyone feel as if they were in a sea of flames.

Chu Linfeng felt a slight shock; this strike possessed strength not inferior to the First Layer of the Saint Martial Realm, even surpassing the attack power of the foremost among the Fourth Young Master, Young Master Feiyu, which Chu Linfeng hadn’t expected.

If ranked by strength, Lin Xue and Lin Shuang could both certainly place among the top five of the younger generation in Canglan Ancient Land, but neither of them participated in this martial arts tournament, making their low profile seem quite mysterious.

”Boom!” After a loud noise, Chu Linfeng was knocked over five meters away by that strike, though he still landed firmly on the ground, without a trace of injury, but with several holes in his clothing caused by the impact of the Flaming Sword Qi.

”Not bad, this strike’s attack power exceeded the first by quite a bit; Celestial Fragrance Pavilion truly conceals its hidden talents impressively!” Chu Linfeng chuckled, glancing at Ye Suping, implying why the disciples with such prowess were not allowed to participate in the martial arts tournament.

Ye Suping merely smiled slightly without speaking, very pleased with Lin Xue’s performance as well.

Next, it was Lin Shuang’s turn. Given Lin Xue’s excellent performance, Lin Shuang naturally wouldn’t fall short.

Lin Shuang continued to use her folded fan, but this time, she did not open it. She glanced at Chu Linfeng, smiled slightly, then sunk her wrist and suddenly began to dance in front of Chu Linfeng.

Her dance was exceedingly graceful, easily captivating minds, especially her enchanting beauty, which could mesmerize anyone. Chu Linfeng, who had seen countless beauties, naturally would not be entranced by her dance.

He couldn’t fathom why Lin Shuang would perform this dance. Was it the Soul-Captivating Dance, used to mesmerize one’s mind before unleashing a powerful Martial Skill?

”You guessed it right; this is indeed a Soul-Captivating Dance. Those without sufficient willpower will be charmed and can be easily slain afterward. Lin Feng, this woman is not simple. I vaguely sense Meng Ji’s presence from her, so be careful,” Sword Spirit suddenly said.

Chu Linfeng was startled to hear this. Lin Shuang was Ye Suping’s direct disciple, with Meng Ji’s aura suggesting she might belong to the Demon Race, which was hard to accept.

”How could she belong to the Demon Race? What’s going on?” Chu Linfeng hurriedly questioned.

”She isn’t of the Demon Race, but her body carries some Demonic Qi. If I’m not mistaken, she must be under a Restriction, perhaps infected with Poisonous Gu, just like that Lu Yang from the Crescent Sect. Fortunately, this was discovered in time; otherwise, Celestial Fragrance Pavilion would be in grave danger,” Sword Spirit replied.

Chu Linfeng realized the gravity of the situation upon reflecting on Sword Spirit’s words. The ominous message from the second Protector of the dark forces planning to strike against major sects soon suggested that the target was Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.

The dark forces were indeed adept at infiltration, even reaching into a place like Celestial Fragrance Pavilion. If he had left through the Teleportation Gate to the Magic Beast Forest, Celestial Fragrance Pavilion might have been annihilated upon his return.

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed, making him appear almost dazed. The onlookers in the hall were confused, mistaking it as being enchanted by Lin Shuang’s dance, and couldn’t help but look down on him slightly, thinking even the most powerful martial artist was just another lecherous man at heart, Chu Linfeng being no exception.

Lin Shuang saw Chu Linfeng’s expression and also believed he was mesmerized by her dance. If they were alone, her dance might have been even more provocative, perhaps leaving only the most intimate garment.

The folded fan in her hand then suddenly opened, emitting a sound of Wind Thunder. Countless shadows of the fan appeared in the hall, charging at Chu Linfeng with thunderous force.

The fan shadows carried Ice Cold Qi along, and Lin Shuang’s Ice Cold Qi this time was evidently much stronger than her last attack, instantly lowering the hall’s temperature, making it feel like an ice-filled cellar.

Chu Linfeng quickly returned to his senses, contemplating how to discern Lin Shuang’s true identity—whether she was demonized, controlled, or oblivious to being afflicted with Poisonous Gu.

The Sword Qi from the fan shadows all struck Chu Linfeng, who deliberately allowed himself to be knocked back an additional meter to ensure Lin Shuang’s victory.

Seeing Chu Linfeng unscathed, Lin Shuang’s face turned rather grim. This was her strongest Martial Skill attack yet, consuming more than half of her Star Power.

Such powerful experts are genuinely terrifying; even standing there to let you attack is futile. Yet seeing Chu Linfeng get knocked back a meter farther than Lin Xue cheered her up immediately.

Ye Suping also smiled, looking at Lin Shuang and saying, ”Shuang’Er, you truly didn’t let your master down, the winner is decided. The position of Pavilion Master of Celestial Fragrance Pavilion shall be succeeded by you henceforth!”

At this moment, Lin Xue appeared rather upset, looking at Chu Linfeng full of unwillingness, hoping for a reasonable explanation from him...
