Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 307: Chapter 316: Preparations Before the Ambush

After Meng Ji left, Chu Linfeng, having nothing else to do, circulated the Chaos Qi throughout his body as a consolidation for breaching the Ninth Layer of the Earth Martial Realm.

After completing one circulation, Chu Linfeng felt refreshed. As the day was breaking, he was about to stand up to check if Meng Ji had returned when Sword Spirit Yue’er’s voice echoed in his mind.

”Lin Feng, now that you’ve reached the Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm, your Chaos Qi should be double that of the Eighth Layer. You should check if you can understand the Sixth Form of the Demon-Breaking Fist Martial Skill.”

The reminder from the Sword Spirit delighted Chu Linfeng. Since he last attempted, he hadn’t touched that Earth Tier Top Grade Martial Arts Manual, and now that he had broken through, it was time to take another look.

He took out the manual from the Storage Ring and started flipping through it slowly. From the First to the Fifth Form, there were no issues, and he had already mastered these five forms completely.

He recalled that the last time he attempted the Sixth Form, he experienced sharp pain in his mind, forcing him to stop practicing the move. Now he was concerned whether his current strength would allow him to learn the Sixth Form.

With his fingers, he slowly turned the yellowed page, and, indeed, a sharp pain emerged in his mind, though it was noticeably lighter compared to before.

Enduring the pain, Chu Linfeng read through the key techniques for executing the martial skill, finishing the less than one hundred-word description with a body drenched in sweat.

Gradually, the pain in his mind subsided, and Chu Linfeng began contemplating how to execute this Sixth Form. He knew its power was undoubtedly several times that of the Fifth Form.

The Fifth Form only consumed half of the Chaos Qi at the Eighth Level of the Earth Martial Realm, and now after breaking through to the Ninth Layer, his Chaos Qi had nearly doubled, yet flipping through this form was so strenuous.

The Golden Demon Vulture stood quietly aside watching Chu Linfeng, knowing that he might be at a critical moment and must not be disturbed while also keeping an eye on the surroundings.

An hour later, Chu Linfeng felt he had some insight into the Sixth Form and was about to try it when a visual reenactment of the entire Sixth Form suddenly appeared in his mind, just as miraculously as it did last time.

Comparing what he had understood with the visual reenactment, Chu Linfeng found himself gaining significantly, or rather making rapid progress. By the time the reenactment ended, he had comprehended at least seventy percent of the execution of the Sixth Form; the rest depended on actual practice and understanding.

Calming his emotions, Chu Linfeng slowly stood up and said, ”This Sixth Form is indeed domineering, requiring at least Second Level Celestial Martial Realm strength to learn, yet I, while in the Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm, have begun practicing it, which indicates my Chaos Qi is now comparable to a Second Level Celestial Martial Realm expert.”

”However, executing the Sixth Form of the Demon-Breaking Fist consumes at least seventy percent of the Chaos Qi, such a consumption of martial skill is indeed unbearable.”

The Golden Demon Vulture had now transformed into a middle-aged man’s appearance, looking at Chu Linfeng and asking, ”Boss, what are you talking about? Have you broken through?”

”Yes, not only have I broken through this time, but I’ve also learned a martial skill of enormous power. I’m confident this move can directly kill even experts at the Second or Third Levels of the Celestial Martial Realm,” Chu Linfeng laughed.

”Boss is indeed boss, killing beyond your level even without breaking through to the Celestial Martial Realm yet, it’s really monstrous,” laughed the Golden Demon Vulture.

Chu Linfeng glared at the Golden Demon Vulture, ”Stop flattering, I’m going to pluck that Golden Wing Feather for sure. Any movements around us?”

The Golden Demon Vulture said helplessly, ”No movements, but sister-in-law should be back soon!”

”Sister-in-law? Old Jin, you...” Before Chu Linfeng could finish, Meng Ji’s voice came to his ears, ”It’s appropriate for him to call me sister-in-law. Do you dare deny it?”

Chu Linfeng looked up to see a black silhouette flying swiftly towards him from afar, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye, its speed astonishing him.

Meng Ji then said, ”They will pass through here in no more than half an hour. This time our adversaries are formidable, be cautious.”

”What levels are they? There aren’t a few Divine Martial Realms, are there? If so, there’s no point in going, it’s just seeking death,” Chu Linfeng said worriedly.

”There are two in the Divine Martial Realm, one is Wu Yuetian and the other I don’t recognize, though his strength isn’t that great, probably between the Second and Third Layer. However, there are four in the Celestial Martial Realm, and you might know one,” Meng Ji said.

Chu Linfeng thought it over but could not recall knowing anyone at the Celestial Martial Realm in the Sea Dragon Empire, except for the Sea Dragon Academy’s head, Yun Feiyang. Could it be him?

”Are you referring to Yun Feiyang? Impossible, isn’t he in the military camp? Why is he in the convoy?” Chu Linfeng asked.

”Yes, it’s him. This time our odds are fifty-fifty; the crucial factor is you. I’ll first take down that Divine Martial Realm expert and then duel with Wu Yuetian, during which I won’t be able to protect you, so you’ll have to rely on yourself,” Meng Ji explained.

”Aside from the four in the Celestial Martial Realm, what are the others’ strengths?” Chu Linfeng asked anxiously, fearing that if they were all at the Eighth or Ninth Layer of the Earth Martial Realm, he would be heading to his doom.

”Those are negligible, just some ordinary soldiers, the highest not exceeding the Sixth Layer of the Earth Martial Realm. You and this Golden Bird need to deal with those four in the Celestial Martial Realm, and if I have time, I might help you kill one. Considering Wu Yuetian’s strength is comparable to mine, if I get distracted, it could easily lead to injury,” Meng Ji said seriously.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Linfeng asked the Golden Demon Vulture, ”Old Jin, how many layers of Celestial Martial Realm experts can you fight?”

”Boss, I can handle a Second Layer expert, and if there’s danger, I can get you out of there with no problem. With my current speed, few can catch up,” the Golden Demon Vulture responded.

Chu Linfeng immediately understood this meant he’d need to face three Celestial Martial Realm experts, presenting a daunting challenge.

”Let’s get ready; let me take down that Divine Martial Realm expert first, and then you both appear. That way, it will be safer; otherwise, the Divine Martial Realm expert could take you both out in one move,” Meng Ji directed.

Immediately, the three of them hid behind the chaotic rocks by the roadside at the foot of the mountain, with Meng Ji and Chu Linfeng separating to hide. This way, when she killed the Divine Martial Realm expert, Chu Linfeng wouldn’t be exposed.

Soon, the sound of wheels approached, and Chu Linfeng knew the target was near. Peeking through the cracks in the rocks, he confirmed it was as the Golden Demon Vulture had stated: the convoy indeed consisted of over thirty people.

As the target drew nearer, Chu Linfeng grew increasingly tense. He had never imagined confronting three Celestial Martial Realm experts, yet today he had no choice.

When the target was about five meters from Meng Ji, her figure shot out from behind the rocks, leaving a trail as she charged at a middle-aged man...
