Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 404 - 415: Slaying the Bear King in Fury (Part 2)

The Fox King looked at Chu Linfeng, finding it hard to believe his words, and asked, "Who exactly are you? Why should I believe you? I won’t gamble with the lives of all the beasts in the North King Hall."

Chu Linfeng knew it would be hard to gain the other’s trust, so he smiled and said, "My words are as good as the words of the West King Hall. I can tell you that even the Celestial Ape must follow my commands, just like every beast in the entire West King Hall."

Hearing this, the Fox King was even more puzzled. That even the Celestial Ape would listen to him was truly unbelievable. Could it be that this young man had used some strange method to control the West King Hall, allowing him to boast so boldly?

Seeing the shocked expression on the Fox King’s face, Chu Linfeng said, "Don’t doubt it. I’m telling the truth. Let me tell you, I am actually the master of the Celestial Ape. I believe you should know who the master of the Celestial Ape is."

The Fox King looked at Chu Linfeng and laughed suddenly, "Kid, you might fool others, but you won’t fool me, the Fox King. Although I haven’t met the master of the Celestial Ape, I’ve heard about him.

He was a true powerhouse from the Canglan Ancient Land in Ancient Times. With your current strength, to put it bluntly, you’re not even worthy to carry his shoes."

"Heh, you’re talking about Qingshuang, right? I am Qingshuang. If you don’t believe me, ask the Celestial Ape. I was forced to reincarnate due to severe injuries in the Divine Battlefield, otherwise, with the Celestial Ape’s character, how could he follow a human’s orders? I trust the Fox King is wise enough to know how to choose," Chu Linfeng said calmly.

At this moment, the Celestial Ape swung its staff and knocked the Bear King not far from the Fox King. Seeing the injuries on him, the Fox King was also shocked, not expecting the Celestial Ape’s strength to recover so quickly. At this rate, the Bear King might really be killed by him.

If he didn’t help the Bear King now, perhaps he would be the one to be killed later. But then the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox might never return to the Fox Race, and it would be hard for the Fox Race to become a true power in the Demon Beast Race.

While the Fox King was in a dilemma, the Bear King got up from the ground and angrily said, "Fox King, aren’t you going to help me slay that Celestial Ape? What are you waiting for, or do you plan to act only after I’ve been slain? When that happens, you’ll face the same fate."

The Celestial Ape, having rushed over, looked at the Fox King and said, "You best think it through. Even if the two of you attack together, I’m confident in slaying you both. This dumb bear doesn’t have much fight left; I can take him out in a few moves."

The Fox King looked between the Bear King and the Celestial Ape, seemingly struggling internally, finally asking the Celestial Ape, "What is your relationship with this young man?"

The Celestial Ape didn’t understand why the Fox King asked about Linfeng, so he laughed and said, "A very good relationship. For him, I’d risk my life."

The Celestial Ape’s words didn’t directly reveal Chu Linfeng’s identity, but the weight of those words was not light. Hearing this, the Fox King’s heart was startled, for he could now confirm that what Chu Linfeng said was true.

A human for whom the Celestial Ape would risk its life, perhaps there could be no other than its master. Yet, he didn’t know how to choose. Helping the Celestial Ape would be betrayal and unfair to the Bear King, but helping the Bear King might mean the Nine-tailed Spirit Fox would never return to the Fox Race.

In the end, he said helplessly to the Celestial Ape and the Bear King, "For the sake of the Fox Race’s interest, I will help neither of you, maintaining a neutral stance. I hope you, Celestial Ape, will keep your word."

Getting such an answer from the Fox King made Chu Linfeng quite satisfied. At least now the Celestial Ape was no longer in danger, and if the Bear King was really slain, the South King Hall would soon be breached, and the power of the West King Hall would quickly rise.

Hearing the Fox King’s words, the Bear King was filled with anger, "Fox King, you hypocrite, having allied with the South King Hall, yet now you watch as I face trouble, despite me considering you a brother. I can’t believe you’d treat me like this. I’m truly blind to have trusted you.

Do you think your North King Hall will fare better after my death? Let me tell you, that’s utterly impossible. You know as well as I do the saying ’if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.’ Wait and see; you’ll regret this!"

The Bear King’s words left the Fox King speechless. He indeed felt guilty towards the Bear King, but for the return of the Purple Demon Thunder Fox to the Fox Race, he was willing to be a traitor. As long as it could strengthen the Fox Race, even dying no longer mattered.

The Fox King looked at Chu Linfeng, the boy worth the Celestial Ape’s life to protect, hoping to gain his assurance.

Chu Linfeng naturally understood the Fox King’s intentions, so he smiled and said, "Rest assured, Fox King. The West King Hall will not trouble you. Moreover, the West King Hall will ally with the North King Hall, and I will meet your requests."

The Fox King nodded in understanding, believing he had gambled correctly this time and trusted the boy wouldn’t go back on his word.

The Bear King, unable to contain his fury, glanced at Chu Linfeng and said, "Boy, you’re the real culprit; I’ll kill you!"

The Bear King charged directly at Chu Linfeng, but naturally, Chu Linfeng wouldn’t clash head-on. He grabbed the Purple Demon Thunder Fox’s hand, and in an instant, executed the Shift Form and Shadow technique, leaving an afterimage as he leaped aside.

Already injured, the Bear King was no match for Chu Linfeng’s speed. By the time he intended to smash Chu Linfeng, he had already vanished, and the Celestial Ape lifted the Blackgold Long Staff and swung it towards him from behind.

"Boom!" The Blackgold Long Staff directly struck the Bear King, sending him flying dozens of meters away. The immense attack power made him crash through dozens of large trees before landing.

Spitting blood, this strike from the Celestial Ape severely injured him. Had the Bear King been slightly more rational, the Celestial Ape wouldn’t have managed to attack him.

First provoked by Chu Linfeng, his heart became restless, and then with the Fox King’s betrayal, his hatred for Chu Linfeng grew. Already significantly hurt, even though the Bear King noticed the Celestial Ape’s attack, he couldn’t avoid it.

The Bear King got up from the ground, looked at Chu Linfeng and the others, and said, "Even if I die today, I’ll drag you all down with me, Fox King, you’ll regret this."

The Bear King’s words clearly showed his intent to perish together. If a Saint Martial Realm expert wanted to self-destruct, everything within hundreds of meters would be turned to ashes, a truly terrifying technique.

The Fox King and Celestial Ape were both alarmed. The Celestial Ape immediately shouted to Chu Linfeng, "Linfeng, run quickly! This guy’s about to self-destruct. Its power can instantly kill you."

Hearing this, Chu Linfeng was also shocked. Just as he was about to escape, the Sword Spirit’s voice suddenly came, "Linfeng, although self-destruction’s power is terrifying, it’s ineffective against you. If you hide under the earth’s layers, there will be no danger.

The fatal flaw of self-destruction is that its attack power only exists above ground and has no effect underground."

Upon hearing this, joy filled Chu Linfeng’s heart. He quickly said to the Purple Demon Thunder Fox, "Xiao Xiao, get on me quickly. I have a way to avoid his self-destruction."

The Purple Demon Thunder Fox flashed with purple light and disappeared. At this time, the Bear King, however, glowed brightly, and both the Celestial Ape and the Fox King quickly fled to a distance.

But Chu Linfeng drew closer to the Bear King, gathering the Ice and Fire Elements in his hands. With a sudden execution of the Seventh Form of the Demon-Breaking Fist, he struck directly at the Bear King.

Chu Linfeng’s actions shocked the Celestial Ape and the Fox King. Before they could even shout, a cataclysmic sound erupted from where the Bear King and Chu Linfeng were, and they knew the Bear King had self-destructed...
