Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 387 - 398: Trading Wounds for Lives

"Hey, don’t die yet! You haven’t answered my question!" Chu Linfeng shouted as he saw the giant python about to perish. However, he didn’t get closer, remembering clearly that the Sword Spirit had warned him that if this creature self-destructed its Inner Core, his own life might be forfeit unless he used the Reincarnation Bracelet.

After a moment, the giant python said, "The teleportation arrays in the Magic Beast Forest are only in the possession of the four major Beast King Halls. There are four powerful forces in the Canglan Ancient Land, each located in the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast, establishing their palaces. The place you are currently in falls under the jurisdiction of the West King Hall."

Chu Linfeng obtained the answer but felt quite frustrated. Using the teleportation array here seemed as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

"How far is it to the West King Hall from here? Who is the Hall Master?" Chu Linfeng asked, as he needed the most useful information at this moment, thus ignoring the dying request of the python.

The python’s entire body began to tremble, indicating that it wouldn’t last much longer. Its enormous head lay weakly on the ground as it gasped, "With... your... speed, it would still take... a day. The Hall... Hall Master is the Ape King. How did... how did you do it?"

Chu Linfeng glanced at the python and said, "The Martial Skill I practice allows me to completely merge into water and fire, so you didn’t detect me. It’s a skill beyond the Saint Tier. You can go in peace now."

The python’s eyes revealed an unwillingness. It had never thought it would be slain by a human with only the First Layer of Divine Martial Realm strength. It truly died with lingering resentment.

Maybe after hearing Chu Linfeng’s answer, the python’s eyes lost all light and it lay motionless on the ground. However, Chu Linfeng dared not approach it, unsure whether the python was truly dead or not.

"Sister Yue’Er, is this creature dead?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"Dead. You’ve slain it. Are you proud of having defeated a creature equivalent to the Ninth Layer of Divine Martial Realm?" the Sword Spirit said.

"There’s nothing to be proud of. If it were a real fight, I wouldn’t have been its match. It was merely deceived by my heaven-defying skill. I really have to thank you!" Chu Linfeng laughed.

The few broken bones in his body had now completely healed, showcasing an extraordinary recovery ability. After looking at the python, Chu Linfeng walked towards it.

With a thought, he immediately summoned Xiaoying. After absorbing the bloodthirsty qi of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield last time, Xiaoying’s strength had greatly increased, and its body was now as large as the leopard Chu Linfeng had just slain.

Xiaoying emerged, disgruntled, "Big Brother, next time you summon me, give me a heads-up. I was having a beautiful dream, you know."

"Oh really? Then you can go back to sleep." Chu Linfeng rolled his eyes at the massive guy.

"Wait, wow! What a powerful magical beast, and such a rich bloodthirsty qi. Big Brother, did you bring me out specifically to absorb it?" Xiaoying cheered immediately.

"Nonsense, I’m short on time, hurry up. Over there, there’s also a leopard’s corpse, which should be of great help to you. Next time, try to make your body smaller; otherwise, I’ll have a hard time not hitting you once." Chu Linfeng said irritably.

Xiaoying glanced at Chu Linfeng but remained silent, trotting over to the python’s corpse and then started devouring it.

The python’s body, if weighed, would come to tens of thousands of pounds, yet this guy devoured it all in less than five minutes, leaving Chu Linfeng completely shocked.

Then Xiaoying absorbed all the blood left on the ground from the python, and with a flash of red light on its body, it shrunk to the size of a small dog and ran back to Chu Linfeng’s side.

"Big Brother, look at this good thing!" Xiaoying said, spitting out a red bead. Chu Linfeng knew this bead was the python’s Inner Core.

"You can leave this bead; give it to Xiao Xiao or Old Jin. I believe after devouring the python, your strength would have surely increased considerably." Chu Linfeng said, taking the red bead from Xiaoying’s mouth and placing it into his Storage Ring.

"Big Brother, where’s that leopard’s body?" Xiaoying wasn’t upset with Chu Linfeng taking the Inner Core, knowing that he was fair in his dealings.

"Come on, just ahead!" and with that, one man and one beast quickly moved forward.

Not long after, Xiaoying finished devouring the leopard’s body and even belched, "Big Brother, the energy from these two magical beasts is really strong. I believe if fully absorbed, I’ll break through to the Venerable Tier. Then you can unleash the full might of the Lion Spirit Fist. You should know, its power is exceedingly domineering."

"Yes, I hope so. If I find any good magical beast corpses, I’ll let you know!" Chu Linfeng said.

Then Xiaoying flashed with a red glow and united back into Chu Linfeng’s arm. Looking around at the devastated forest, Chu Linfeng flew into the sky, needing to quickly rendezvous with Meng Ji and the Golden Demon Vulture. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Chu Linfeng exerted all his energy for Flying in the Sky, flying for nearly an hour before spotting the silhouettes of Meng Ji and Ouyang Qian in the distance, accompanied by the magical beast transformed into a middle-aged man.

Very quickly, Chu Linfeng arrived beside the two women. Seeing Meng Ji’s pale face and the blood at the corners of her mouth made his heart ignite with anger, "Step aside, let me handle this guy!"

With that, a thick layer of white stones coated his body as he swiftly flew towards the middle-aged man.

At that moment, the Star Power consumed by the three of them was enormous. The middle-aged man was equally shocked to see Chu Linfeng appear here, as logic dictated he should have been slain by the Protector long ago, and his presence here left him utterly confused.

"Kid, why are you here?" the middle-aged man asked.

Chu Linfeng had no mind to answer as his woman was injured. He must seek retribution for her, coming within two meters of his opponent.

With fierce intent, Chu Linfeng was ready to take a hit from his opponent to deal heavy damage, striking directly at the middle-aged man with a punch.

The force of this punch wasn’t great, as he used the same method he had used to attack the great bell in the Celestial Dragon Empire, employing Dual Heart Use, meaning the true attack lay in the second punch at least.

Seeing Chu Linfeng attack directly, the middle-aged man was infuriated, "You’re courting death!" He swiftly swung his sword towards Chu Linfeng.

The sword landed solidly on his body, dissipating all the stones covering Chu Linfeng, even cutting his flesh three inches deep.

However, very little blood flowed out. Chu Linfeng retaliated, his punch connecting with the man’s chest having a water-fire element coupled with a powerful chaotic dragon force, causing unprecedented pain and followed by a thunderous explosive sound echoing in his ears.

Chu Linfeng was flung dozens of meters away by the blast’s power, while the magical beast transformed into a middle-aged man had a transparent hole appear in his chest from Chu Linfeng’s strike, shattering his internal organs completely, leaving him utterly dead.

The middle-aged man then fell from the sky, slowly revealing his true body—a tusked wild boar as large as a mountain...
