Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 685 - 705: First Encounter with the Nether Beast

The old man naturally wouldn't sit and wait for death. When he saw Chu Linfeng attacking him, he forcefully swung his long sword. At this moment, he only hoped that this strike could severely injure the opponent. Although the chance was slim, he had no choice but to do so, as his speed was certainly not enough to escape.

Even if he couldn't harm him, he could still hold out for a while. Perhaps by then, someone might come, giving him hope of survival.

The thought was beautiful, but reality was cruel. Chu Linfeng's strike directly broke the old man's sword. The powerful attack landed on him, splitting his body in half. A rain of blood fell from the sky, followed by the sound of something crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Chu Linfeng hadn't anticipated that his strike would directly kill the opponent. Perhaps it was due to the old man's fear of him.

Chu Linfeng hurriedly rushed to the ground and quickly checked the old man's belongings, soon finding the Storage Ring, which he swiftly removed and placed into his own Storage Ring.

Then, he used Fire Transformation to burn the old man's corpse into ashes. After finishing this, Chu Linfeng approached the corpse of the first old man he had slain and similarly obtained the Storage Ring before destroying the body.

Chu Linfeng did not hurry to inspect the contents of these two individuals' Storage Rings. At this moment, he needed to escape from this place with Lin Ruoxi and the others as soon as possible. From the old man's mouth, he had learned that there were Silver Lotus Guards and Golden Lotus Guards here, whose strength was surely terrifying; perhaps they might be at the Ninth Layer of the Saint Martial Realm.

Chu Linfeng used Earth Transformation to bring Lin Ruoxi and the other three onto the ground. At this moment, the three of them took deep breaths. "Damn, this is torture, almost suffocating me!" Ouyang Hong shouted. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"We need to leave here as soon as possible. It's very likely that more powerful experts are heading this way!" Chu Linfeng hurriedly said.

"Lin Feng, what about those two old men earlier? Did you end up killing them?" Lin Ruoxi asked at this point.

"Yes, I have killed them. But from their mouths, I learned there are Gold and Silver Lotus Guards with strength at the Seventh and Eighth Layers of the Saint Martial Realm. No more talking, leaving here is crucial." Chu Linfeng said.

Then the four swiftly flew into the sky, heading deeper into the valley. On the way, no one spoke, all flying at the fastest speed. The strength of the Seventh and Eighth Layers of the Saint Martial Realm is no joke. Encountering one or two might have a way to escape, but if it's three or four, besides Chu Linfeng, others would only meet their deaths.

After flying for around two hours, the four arrived at a vast expanse of dark red grassland, similar to the grasslands of the Canglan Ancient Land, but the only difference was the color, and there were no herds of cattle and sheep.

However, on this dark red grassland, there's another type of animal, resembling wolves. Their eyes appeared dark red, and their bodies generally stood over two meters tall, numbering around a thousand.

Chu Linfeng and the four stopped atop a hill. At this moment, his Chaotic Dragon Power was also greatly depleted. After performing Celestial Slash twice, he had to recover quickly, otherwise, encountering a real danger would be unimaginable.

"Lin Feng, those wolf-like creatures must be Nether Beasts. Judging by their appearance, they don't seem very formidable. Why would Nether Beasts appear here? Didn't the old man from the general store say Nether Beasts are usually in Beast King City? Could it be that we're not far from Beast King City?" Lin Ruoxi asked at this point.

"Ruoxi, you're overthinking. These Nether Beasts appear weak, but I believe their strength is definitely not simple. We should focus on hiding our presence and recovering our Star Power. It's highly likely that those powerful individuals are pursuing us." Chu Linfeng said.

Then the four began absorbing the energy from the Star Stones. Previously, Chu Linfeng had specially prepared enough Star Stones for everyone, so they wouldn't be unable to recover their strength due to a lack of Star Stones.

Lin Ruoxi and the other three hadn't consumed much Star Power, recovering in about two hours. But Chu Linfeng was different; he was only restored to about fifty percent, even while absorbing the Top-grade Star Stones.

Seeing Chu Linfeng absorbed in absorbing, Lin Ruoxi and the other three didn't disturb him but quietly went to a place to talk. "Do you think this journey to the Netherworld has been too unlucky for us? We just arrived and started escaping. This Netherworld is so vast; who knows when we'll be able to rest peacefully and sleep?" Ouyang Hong said.

"Didn't you enjoy this sense of excitement? Why do you regret it when we haven't even been fleeing for a day? This isn't like you, White Tiger Young Master!" Young Master Feiyu said at this point.

"I didn't say I regret it; it's just that this fleeing isn't the solution. We need to find a place where no one knows, wait for Chu Linfeng to recover, and then ask if he knows anything. I feel he knows the Netherworld much better than we do." Ouyang Hong said.

"Of course, he knows more. Don't forget, he's Qingshuang reborn, with memories spanning thousands of years. His powerful strength now is precisely because of this." Young Master Feiyu said.

"You all better stop talking, haven't you noticed that many Nether Beasts have appeared around us? What are these creatures trying to do? They're even starting to surround us; are they trying to make us their meal?" Lin Ruoxi said at this point.

With Lin Ruoxi's words, indeed many wolf-like Nether Beasts began to approach the four of them. Currently, Chu Linfeng is absorbing Star Power and absolutely cannot be disturbed. "Should we scare these creatures away? To be honest, back in Lisha City, we hadn't had enough fun before being killed by Lin Feng. Now it's the perfect time to stretch our muscles with these Nether Beasts." Ouyang Hong said.

"I had the same idea. If those Silver Lotus Guards and Golden Lotus Guards that Chu Linfeng mentioned are coming, they would have arrived long ago; at this moment, it should be safe. Let's go meet these creatures." Young Master Feiyu agreed, saying.

While Chu Linfeng was absorbing Star Power, he was acutely aware of the three's movements but did not stop them. He was curious about the Nether Beasts and wanted to see what distinguishes them from Magical Beasts.

"Lin Feng, stop them quickly! Although these Nether Beasts aren't very powerful, they can attract very formidable Nether Beasts. I don't have time to explain the specifics to you, otherwise it'll become very troublesome for you to leave here." Sword Spirit suddenly said anxiously at this moment.

After hearing this, Chu Linfeng was shocked. He quickly stood up and called out to Lin Ruoxi and the three, "Come back quickly, these Nether Beasts must not be killed! Otherwise, we will all be in danger!"

At these words, the three of them were also shocked, involuntarily stopping and turning to look at Chu Linfeng. "Why can't they be killed? Do these Nether Beasts have three heads and six arms? Chu Linfeng, aren't you too timid?" Ouyang Hong immediately asked.
