Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

”Rest assured, Hall Master, we will complete the mission,” the two middle-aged men inside the great hall said in unison. Then, their figures flickered and vanished from the hall.

At this moment, Chu Lin was not attacking forcefully. If the people of the Vermilion Bird Race didn’t come to investigate the commotion, it would be too unusual. He was waiting, waiting for someone to take him directly inside.

Just then, Chu Lin spotted a tremendous energy fluctuation emerging from the mountain wall across from him. He quickly retreated several dozen steps. He knew that the people of the Vermilion Bird Race had finally appeared.

When the two Protectors of the Vermilion Bird Race emerged from the barrier at the entrance and saw Chu Lin standing there alone, they were slightly taken aback. Of course, Chu Lin was equally surprised to see them.

Because these two were the very same who had taken Lin Ruoxi away back then. Chu Lin remembered them vividly, as one of them had severely injured him. If it hadn’t been for Lin Ruoxi’s pleading, he might have been slain at the time.

”Boy, I didn’t expect it to be you. You’ve become quite capable to have found the entrance to our Vermilion Bird Race. It seems you’ve had quite a few fortuitous encounters over the past two years. Otherwise, your strength wouldn’t have grown so fast,” one of them said.

Before Chu Lin could respond, the other spoke up, ”What business do you have here? If you’re here to see the Saintess, I advise you to give up. The Saintess is currently in seclusion, and even if you want to see her, you can’t.”

”So, you intend to have me leave? If I refuse to leave, what will you do?” Chu Lin asked them. He knew that things certainly wouldn’t be that simple.

”Leave? Do you think we would let you leave? You dare to destroy our Vermilion Bird Race’s barrier entrance, such audacity. You should just obediently come with us into the clan and accept your punishment,” the other said.

These two had reached the Ninth Layer of the Divine Martial Realm, but due to being Magical Beasts with innate fire attributes, their attack power was at least at the First Layer of the Saint Martial Realm. Chu Lin looked at them and laughed, ”What if I refuse? Do you think you alone can take me back? What a boast.”

Chu Lin intended to anger the other party, as being directly taken inside would be too humiliating. Furthermore, considering the harm they had caused him before, he wanted to make them suffer a bit.

At this moment, Sword Spirit spoke, ”Lin Feng, don’t be impulsive. If there are any issues, deal with them after entering the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall. It’s better to endure if you must. Avoid making enemies of the Vermilion Bird Race unless it’s absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to see Lin Ruoxi.”

”What’s there to fear? At worst, I’ll just demand the person from the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall directly. With my strength, do you think I’m afraid of them? Sister Yue’Er, you’re overthinking it,” Chu Lin said.

”You’re really a fool. If you truly fall out with the Vermilion Bird Race, have you thought about Lin Ruoxi’s feelings? Moreover, the Vermilion Bird Race isn’t as simple as it seems on the surface. It’s best not to harm these two for the time being. Trust me,” Sword Spirit said.

Chu Lin indeed had thoughts of killing the two, but with Sword Spirit’s words, he decided to endure, although he couldn’t simply allow the two to take him away just like that. He had to put up some form of resistance.

This time, Chu Lin didn’t take out the Cyan Frost Sword, instead he used the Fire Dragon Sword, which he hadn’t used for a long time, feeling unfamiliar with it.

When the Left and Right Protectors of the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall saw Chu Lin dare to resist, their anger flared up. They needed to teach him a lesson; otherwise, anyone would think the Vermilion Bird Race was a place they could just enter.

One of them, with a thought, swiftly struck Chu Lin with a palm, charged with a fierce flame attack. If hit, it would surely cause severe injury. However, Chu Lin was an exception; his defense was heaven-defying, rendering such an attack nothing more than a tickle. Moreover, his understanding of the fire element wasn’t any weaker than that of the Vermilion Bird Race, making the flames negligible.

The Wind Chasing Sword Technique was unleashed repeatedly, with the Sword Qi Astral Wind howling. Even though the attack power wasn’t vast, the display was quite terrifying. Moreover, Chu Lin’s defense was flawless, as if facing a formidable enemy, leaving no flaws visible.

Immediately, the two from the Vermilion Bird Divine Hall saw Chu Lin’s strength and dared not act rashly. The two launched an attack on Chu Lin together. Instantly, the three engaged in a fierce battle, with thunderous explosions echoing throughout the valley.

Seizing an opportunity, Chu Lin struck one of them on the back with his sword. He didn’t use much force; otherwise, with his attack power, he would’ve already slain them.

A deep wound reaching the bone appeared on the man’s back, blood gushing out and soaking his clothes. His face twisted into a hideous expression, terrifying, as if he wanted to devour Chu Lin alive.

”Lin Feng, that’s enough. If you go any further, they won’t just take you back; it will be a battle to the death,” Sword Spirit reminded.

”I understand. At most, I’ll just pretend to faint. I want to see what these two can do to me,” Chu Lin said.

After wounding that middle-aged man, sure enough, he went berserk. A red glow flashed all over him, and an ear-splitting bird cry resounded in Chu Lin’s ears.

He saw a gigantic red bird, even larger than the Golden Demon Vulture, manifest in front of him. It was intimidating, especially the bird’s beak and talons, which made one shiver. They gleamed ominously.

Chu Lin thought the Vermilion Bird’s true form was quite beautiful, especially the long tail feathers, reminiscent of burning flames, inciting a desire to claim them.

If the Vermilion Bird knew Chu Lin was interested in its tail, who knows if it would fly into another rage?

Suddenly, the Vermilion Bird charged at Chu Lin with incredible speed. As its enormous wings flapped, sand and stones scattered in all directions, dust and debris instantly filling the air.

Chu Lin continuously fled. At this moment, he could only feign weakness. Continuing to provoke the opponent would indeed lead to a fight to the death. Chu Lin was equally fast, and for the moment, the Vermilion Bird couldn’t catch him.

At this time, another Vermilion Bird transformed into its true form, moving faster than the one pursuing Chu Lin. It quickly surpassed Chu Lin and surrounded him, forcing him to halt.

Then, at that instant when Chu Lin stopped, the injured Vermilion Bird’s claws suddenly glowed a fiery red, followed by countless claw shadows enveloping Chu Lin.

Chu Lin didn’t expect the Vermilion Bird Race to possess such skill. The power of the claw shadows was considerable. An ordinary person might indeed be slain, but Chu Lin, using his mind’s power, fell to the ground after the claw shadows struck him... (Last night, I drank some beer at my fifth aunt’s New Year celebration, got drunk, and had no strength to write. I even failed to maintain my full attendance. Drinking messes things up. I slept until now and still have a headache. Such misfortune.)
