Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Showdown on the Life and Death Platform (Part 2)

The saber in Ouyang Hong’s hand glowed with a red light, appearing exceptionally dazzling on the Life and Death Platform. The boundless killing aura emanating from the blade hinted at its extraordinary nature.

”It seems he’s planning to attack with a weapon. A weapon attack from the Third Level of Earth Martial Realm unleashed with a martial skill is far more formidable than fists or palms. Since you’re using a weapon, I’ll play along!” Chu Linfeng thought to himself, then took out a rusty long sword from his Storage Belt.

To the onlookers, Chu Linfeng’s Cyan Frost Sword seemed like a piece of scrap metal, while Ouyang Hong’s saber was a divine weapon. Many were puzzled at this moment, wondering if this guy was either sick or pitifully poor to wield such a weapon.

Feeling smug, Ouyang Hong thought his saber, named Fire Cloud Saber, was an upper-grade weapon ranked third in his family, gifted to him by the patriarch upon entering the Celestial Dragon Academy.

Seeing Chu Linfeng’s long sword, he laughed and said, ”You call that a weapon? The stuff on street stalls is better than yours. If you don’t have a good weapon, I suggest you kneel and apologize to me. My offer still stands.”

”Oh really? Just wait and see. My scrap metal is the nemesis of divine weapons. If you don’t believe it, give it a try.” Chu Linfeng replied with a smile. This long sword was given to him by Xue Jin Mountain, and it was a genuine Ancient Divine Artifact, unknowable to a frog in a well like Ouyang Hong.

”Insolent! This time next year will be your death anniversary!” Ouyang Hong didn’t bother with more words, raised his saber, and leapt into the air, descending toward Chu Linfeng, carrying a residual shadow.

As he jumped, the blade seemed to ignite into tangible flames. The scorching temperature made the surrounding air sizzle, and even from afar, Chu Linfeng felt a wave of heat attacking him, almost setting his clothes on fire.

”Could his martial skill be infused with a fire attribute? How come these people all master attribute-based martial skills?” He wondered, astonished.

Nonetheless, Chu Linfeng’s response was swift. He tightened his grip on the Cyan Frost Sword and shouted, ”Wind-Rolling Clouds!”

The Seventh Form of Wind-Chasing Swordsmanship was instantly unleashed. After reaching the First Level of Earth Martial Realm, this move ’Wind-Rolling Clouds’ by Chu Linfeng was far more potent than before. Whereas his previous attack might be like a stream, now it’s like a river.

A tornado appeared in front of him, swiftly attacking Ouyang Hong, causing the audience below to cheer in approval.

The tornado collided with the burning heat wave, intertwining the two attack powers instantly, producing a crackling sound.

Perhaps Chu Linfeng underestimated the power of his opponent’s saber, or perhaps ’Wind-Rolling Clouds’ wasn’t strong enough. The two energies opposed each other for less than five seconds before the tornado dissipated.

Though the red glow on Ouyang Hong’s saber diminished significantly, it hadn’t vanished completely. He broke through Chu Linfeng’s defenses, arriving right in front of him.

His speed was too fast; even if Chu Linfeng could perform Shift Form and Shadow, it was too late. The only defense was using the Cyan Frost Sword to block Ouyang Hong’s blade, but he was powerless against the searing saber glow.

In a flash, Chu Linfeng raised his Cyan Frost Sword to clash with the opponent’s saber, but the saber glow fell directly onto his body.

The immense force of the blade sent Chu Linfeng flying, and the saber glow caused considerable internal injuries, spilling a patch of crimson in the air.

”Lin Feng!” ”Lin Feng!” Two voices simultaneously erupted from the crowd below, both belonging to women.

Once fighting begins on the Life and Death Platform, no one is allowed to ascend, except for the academy’s dean. The two women anxiously watched, powerless to intervene as Chu Linfeng was injured.

The two voices belonged to Lin Ruoxi and Sima Jingyi. At that moment, their inner anxiety was indescribable, both wishing they could rush up to check on him.

Two peerless beauties worrying simultaneously over one person surprised everyone. Lin Ruoxi’s concern was understandable, being Chu Linfeng’s fiancée, but Sima Jingyi’s worry was different.

Many knew she was one of the most beautiful girls in the elite class, admired by many; Wu Qing, ranked fourth, had pursued her for a long time without success.

Now her outburst and worried expression aroused suspicion, questioning what the relationship between Chu Linfeng and her was.

In the crowd, Wu Qing’s face burned with anger. Sima Jingyi had claimed she wouldn’t watch this duel on the Life and Death Platform, yet she appeared here.

And she referred to Chu Linfeng as Lin Feng, indicating their relationship wasn’t ordinary. A foreboding feeling arose in his heart; if true, even if Chu Linfeng defeated Ouyang Hong, Wu Qing needed to get rid of him.

Sima Jingyi could only belong to him; no other should dare to covet.

Chu Linfeng then looked at his charred clothes with a bitter smile. ”I really underestimated the situation. The opponent’s strength is at the Third Level of Earth Martial Realm, ’Wind-Rolling Clouds’ cannot harm him.

Unexpectedly, even the Second Layer of Star Body couldn’t withstand the domineering saber glow. Ouyang Hong’s strength is likely more formidable than the old man from the City Lord’s Mansion.”

After wiping away a hint of red from his mouth, Chu Linfeng instantly enveloped himself with Star Power. To deal with him, he could only use his most lethal moves. Now he had two killing moves to choose from: the Heart Sword he understood during a test, and the seemingly ordinary strike.

Both had immense power. Chu Linfeng decided to use the Heart Sword; he hadn’t killed anyone with it yet, wanting to test its might.

He then dismissed all distractions, entering a state of self-forgetfulness, ignoring the movements on or off the platform.

Standing quietly on the Life and Death Platform, his robes fluttered without wind, giving an impression of a meditative old monk.

”Not good, Ouyang Hong is in danger!” someone in the air exclaimed at that moment.

Uttering this, the person quickly descended from the air, landing beside Ouyang Hong. At this moment, Chu Linfeng’s lips moved slightly as he uttered in a whisper-like voice the two words ’Heart Sword.’

The Cyan Frost Sword in his hand flew directly out, heading towards Ouyang Hong, its speed so slow it seemed like it might drop to the ground any moment.

”Gongsun Changyuan, you’ve lost. Unexpectedly, this kid’s Heart Sword has reached the realm of Sword and Man Unity. Truly a genius!” Dean Xu laughed in the air.

To linger in the air was a sign of reaching the Celestial Martial Realm. Forming a Celestial Star Pill inside allowed absorption of the Power of Heaven and Earth to control one’s body.

As Gongsun Changyuan descended, Chu Linfeng’s strike arrived. He delivered a swift palm strike and leapt into the air with Ouyang Hong.

Chu Linfeng felt an overwhelming pressure approaching, shattering the Heart Sword’s attack. He retreated several steps before stabilizing.

His chest heaved erratically, unable to resist spitting a mouthful of blood, his face appearing extremely pale.

Meanwhile, Dean Xu descended before Chu Linfeng, handing him a red elixir, saying, ”Take it; any questions can wait.”

Gongsun Changyuan and Ouyang Hong also landed on the platform. He noticed a tear in his sleeve, sliced by Sword Qi, shocked internally by the Heart Sword’s formidable power. Not simple at all.

Below, Lin Ruoxi and Sima Jingyi could no longer hold back. Disregarding the consequences of ascending the platform at this moment, they leapt onto the Life and Death Platform, rushing towards Chu Linfeng...
