Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 971: Chapter 995: Kill Jiang Hong

At this moment, Chu Linfeng had gained a new understanding of the Immortal Realm. It was a vast place; how vast exactly, he wasn’t entirely sure. But wanting to establish oneself here alone was impossible; a powerful ally was necessary to succeed, much like Sword Spirit once advised him to join the most powerful entity – Emperor Wu Spirit Realm. Now, joining Emperor Wu Spirit Realm was impossible unless his own strength was formidable enough.

Now, he decided to first start by joining Hanjiang City. To join, he needed qualifications that would be taken seriously, but he couldn’t overly expose his own power. This mining area was the best place; he could hone himself while continually enhancing his strength. He believed that one day he would stand out and naturally draw the attention of those with discerning eyes.

However, now he needed to solve the pressing issue: Chu Linfeng had killed Jiang Tao, and surely his brother Jiang Hong would notice and might suspect him. He had to eliminate this security risk at the cradle, unable to allow his identity to be exposed.

Thinking this through, Chu Linfeng flashed towards the Ascension Platform. In the Immortal Realm, he felt the flight was slower than in the Lower Realm, likely because of the Immortal Spirit Qi. Shortly, he arrived at the Ascension Platform, feeling a bit helpless looking at this platform that couldn’t emit light.

Jiang Hong hadn’t returned yet, so he simply sat on the Ascension Platform waiting for him. Chu Tong was placed back in the Storage Ring; he couldn’t let Chu Tong appear freely yet. He was a coveted Innate Spiritual Treasure, and encountering someone powerful would spell trouble for him.

After waiting for almost half a day, Jiang Hong appeared before Chu Linfeng. Seeing Chu Linfeng alone here, Jiang Hong felt a bit strange, "Lin Feng, weren’t you supposed to be at the mining area with my brother? Why are you still here, and where did my brother go?"

At this time, Chu Linfeng had suppressed his strength to the ordinary Immortal realm. Upon being questioned by Jiang Hong, he promptly said, "He seemed to have left, saying it was boring here, too dull, leaving you alone to guard the Ascension Platform. Since I didn’t know where the mining area was, I naturally stayed here."

Jiang Hong looked at Chu Linfeng with suspicion, half-believing his words. Although Jiang Tao disliked staying at the Ascension Platform, he had to obey the orders of the Hanjiang City Lord. It was the jurisdiction range of tens of thousands of miles under the Hanjiang City Lord. Should he leave at will, he would face severe punishment. Logically, he shouldn’t be that foolish.

Then the only possibility left was that this lad was lying. This lad originally seemed very mysterious. When I reported to the Hanjiang City Lord this guy’s performance at the Ascension Pool and Ascension Platform, the Hanjiang City Lord also found it incredible. However, he concluded that this person was either a waste or a peerless genius, to be observed closely.

Now Jiang Tao wasn’t here, and maybe he fell victim to his deadly hands too. If he was a genius, he had the potential to kill Jiang Tao; if not, then Jiang Tao indeed left as he said.

"If that’s the case, I’ll send you to the mining area. It’s also our duty. Hope you will perform well there and gain freedom after three years, then you can get some Immortal Stones, enough for you to live carefree and peacefully for decades." Jiang Hong said.

"Does everyone who ascends have to enter the mining area? Is there anyone who doesn’t need to go in?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"Entering the mining area is actually a form of training. Anyone who comes out is protected by Hanjiang City. Many people want to enter it; not everyone can get in. Come on, let’s go." Jiang Hong was reluctant to say more.

Chu Linfeng knew the mining area must be a place of extreme peril; only extraordinary individuals could come out alive from it. Naturally, such people would be valued; this guy just didn’t want to directly admit it.

Chu Linfeng then left the Ascension Platform with Jiang Hong. After a short walk, Jiang Hong suddenly asked, "What do you think of the environment here?" The abrupt question made Chu Linfeng pause; this guy wasn’t planning to take action here, was he?

"It’s great here; the environment is serene with no one around. If choosing a place to be buried, it is a good place. Brother, why do you ask?" Chu Linfeng responded.

"Kid, you hide deeply. Along this journey, I’ve been continuously using Divine Sense to observe you, finally discovering the issue. You have my brother’s blood smell on you. Seems his departure was your doing. If I’m not mistaken, my brother has already fallen by your hand." Jiang Hong said with an angry face.

"I don’t understand what you’re saying. How could your brother be killed by me? Are you mistaken? He’s at the Earth Immortal level, while I’m just an ordinary Immortal." Chu Linfeng immediately replied. Regarding Jiang Hong, he didn’t plan to kill him right away; instead, he needed to find the perfect opportunity to strike, leaving no chance for the opponent to retaliate. If another powerful Magical Treasure came out, he would be overwhelmed.

"I am naturally sensitive to blood. You carry my brother’s blood scent. Didn’t expect you to hide so well. Seems you have self-awareness knowing I would choose this spot for your burial. Today, let me see what skill you possess to kill my brother." Jiang Hong exclaimed in anger.

Chu Linfeng didn’t expect this guy to have noticed all along and laughed, "Your brother deserved death; he tried to snatch my Storage Ring. Whatever you have, bring it out; I’d like to see how formidable your Magical Treasures are."

"To deal with you, no need for Magical Treasures. Kid, go to hell!" Jiang Hong didn’t want to waste words with Chu Linfeng. The one who killed his brother, he wished to tear apart and drink his blood. In his hand, a silver long sword swiftly attacked, hacking towards Chu Linfeng.

"Well done!" Chu Linfeng laughed, Cyan Frost Sword appearing in his hand, immediately deploying Star Slash. Jiang Hong’s strength was slightly higher than Jiang Tao’s; he couldn’t afford to be careless. This attack was with full force. Instantly, the surrounding space vibrated violently, powerful Sword Qi directly met the opponent’s attack, and the two’s attack power collided.

A loud bang appeared in front of them, Sword Qi screeching as it came towards each of them. Chu Linfeng’s current strength surpassed Jiang Hong slightly. With Star Slash’s strong attack power, Jiang Hong was directly slashed, flying hundreds of meters away.

Chu Linfeng, on the other hand, was also knocked back dozens of meters, with several cuts on his body, none too deep. But Jiang Hong, on the contrary, had several deep wounds visible to the bone, his crimson blood staining his clothes instantly, making him look shakily miserable.

He never dreamed this youth who had just ascended would possess Earth Immortal peak strength. Unfortunately, the only Magical Treasure he had was given to Jiang Tao. Now, dealing with him was incredibly difficult, and the only option left was escape, a swift escape...
