Chapter 140 Killing Chen Yahu

Lin Zhao had long sensed that Chen Yahu's spiritual foundation consisted of thirty-seven streams of spiritual energy.

The previous challenges against opponents of higher levels did not make Lin Zhao realize that the difference in spiritual energy foundation could be ignored. On the contrary, it made her understand more and more that the higher the cultivation level, the more fatal the difference in spiritual energy flow became. Even a difference of one spiritual energy flow could put her to death.

For example, when she faced Hongluan, if Hongluan hadn't underestimated her and lacked fighting spirit, allowing her to barely repel the attack, given the gap between them, Lin Zhao couldn't even imagine how horribly she would have died if it happened again.

Therefore, knowing that his background was inferior to Chen Yahu's, Lin Zhao naturally wouldn't rush in recklessly like before.

Clearly, her choice was correct; Chen Yahu was more cautious and ruthless than the prodigies she had faced before.

Or rather, ever since Lin Zhao killed Jin Miao, the people of the Golden Crow Continent have held an attitude of undying hatred towards Lin Zhao.

Therefore, what attacked Chen Yahu earlier was just an afterimage left by the Heavenly Phoenix Step.

As his cultivation level reached nearly thirty-four spiritual streams, Lin Zhao's control over the first two levels of the Heavenly Phoenix Steps became increasingly adept. He was able to control his afterimage to remain in a certain stage for a short period of time to confuse his opponents.

Of course, this tactic is designed to completely confuse the opponent, leaving them no chance to fall for it. Moreover, it only serves to confuse and has no offensive purpose.

If the opponent were to carefully perceive the oppressive force emanating from the afterimage, they would quickly realize that it was not a physical entity at all.

Unfortunately, Chen Yahu was overly cautious. He attacked Lin Zhao immediately upon her first appearance instead of taking action and scheming, which is why he fell into her trap.

However, as Chen Yahu faced the afterimage with great vigilance, Lin Zhao had already condensed enough Heavenly Phoenix Sword Formation above him, which was different from the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Formation that had been cast instantly before.

This time, the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Formation gathered almost half of Lin Zhao's spiritual power. Behind him, the sword shadows emitted faint whistling sounds, clearly indicating that Lin Zhao had imbued each sword shadow with spirituality.

Lin Zhao's Bone Sword points directly at Chen Yahu.

"go."

Under the immense pressure of the Heavenly Phoenix Sword Formation and the Azure Phoenix Wings, Chen Yahu's bear-like body appeared somewhat small.

Lin Zhao's gaze was icy, his sword formation locked onto Chen Yahu, and he raised his bone sword, initiating the attack.

The wind howled around Lin Zhao, sword shadows flashed everywhere, carrying spiritual energy, and as they moved about, the Azure Phoenix cried out.

The Azure Phoenix flapped its wings, and countless sword shadows lashed out behind it, like a volley of arrows from a thousand armies, accompanied by raging azure flames, howling and boiling as it swept across the land, engulfing Chen Yahu's massive body.

boom!
The Azure Phoenix stopped, the sword shadow shattered, the earth cracked, and a small portion of the splashed spiritual energy extended in all directions, while the impact of the remaining spiritual energy converged and licked backward along the original direction of the sword formation, spreading out a giant ravine that only stopped dozens of meters away.

The location where Chen Yahu was standing was directly blasted into a huge crater tens of meters deep.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao's phoenix wings fluttered slightly, and the bone sword in his hand once again gathered spiritual energy.

She wasn't sure if Chen Yahu was still alive after such an attack.

The next moment, golden light flashed in Lin Zhao's eyes.

Activating the Undying Golden Body Technique, she retracted her phoenix wings, landed on the ground, and looked at the humanoid creature covered in blood that jumped out of the giant pit.

It's not quite appropriate to call him a person now.

Now, one can only vaguely discern Chen Yahu's less-than-handsome features in his eyes and brows.

He crawled on all fours, roaring at Lin Zhao and baring his fangs. As Lin Zhao approached step by step, he seemed to realize that he could speak, and his voice became strangely excited.

"This move was originally meant to be used against Ning Wengui after I reached the level of forty spiritual streams..." Chen Yahu licked the blood off his claws, finding his clothes in the way, so he simply tore them off, revealing his fur-covered body underneath.

Now, Chen Yahu lay sprawled on the ground, barely recognizable as a human except for his ability to speak and his human face. The faintly glowing blade in Lin Zhao's hand allowed Chen Yahu to see his current appearance, and his ugly, bizarre form caused him to lose the last vestige of his human sanity.

Lin Zhao's cold voice suddenly rang in his ears, tearing away his last shred of dignity.

"You used the first three transformations of the Iron Mountain Nine Beasts Transformation and couldn't withstand it, so you used this immature fourth transformation?" Lin Zhao wiped the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword clean, not giving him any time to recover. He activated the Heavenly Phoenix Step and the Undying Golden Body Technique, and slashed at Chen Ya Hu with his sword.

"It seems that whether you win or lose, you will be affected by the spirit of this tiger-shaped spirit beast."

Chen Yahu roared and nimbly dodged Lin Zhao's sword. The human consciousness in his mind made him laugh.

"As long as I kill you and obtain your essence blood to suppress the Howling Tiger's essence blood, I can also suppress the Howling Tiger's essence blood and soul! I haven't lost! I now have the body of a fourth-tier spirit beast, and I can also use human spirit techniques. My spiritual energy foundation is even higher than yours, and my physical strength far surpasses yours. Lin Zhao, what do you have to fight me with?!"

When Lin Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh as the Phoenix Bone Sword's attack was intercepted by the opponent's claws.

Seeing from Chen Yahu's gloomy gaze that the other party did not intend to use spiritual energy to clash again, but wanted to tear him apart with close combat, Lin Zhao withdrew the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword.

"You're saying your physical strength is stronger than mine?" Lin Zhao chuckled. "Since I broke through to the Golden Core stage, I haven't even tried comparing my physical strength with someone of the same level."

With the Undying Golden Body Technique activated in three stages and accompanied by the Phoenix Harmony, Lin Zhao threw a punch.

Lin Zhao's soft, pink fists collided with Chen Yahu's dark, sharp claws.

Before Chen Yahu's smile could even widen, he felt a sharp, intense pain coming from his claws. His fingers were connected to his heart, and he screamed in agony.

Lin Zhao pressed his advantage, gripping Chen Yahu's massive claws, which had been shattered, and delivered a powerful punch to his wrist.

Chen Yahu thought that the pain of his claws being shattered by Lin Zhao's punch was already unbearable, but when the spiritual energy from the explosive punch spread through his body, he experienced the same spiritual and physical torture he had endured when he cultivated the Iron Mountain Nine Beast Transformation.

The next moment, Lin Zhao kicked him in the abdomen. Taking advantage of the moment when he was bent over like a shrimp, Lin Zhao pressed him down and pinned him to the ground. Before he could react and use his spiritual energy, Lin Zhao punched him in the head.

However, the physical attributes of a fourth-tier spirit beast are indeed formidable. Chen Yahu withstood three punches from Lin Zhao and was still able to unleash a roar imbued with spiritual energy.

A seventh-grade spiritual skill, the roar of the Iron Mountain Beast.

The spiritual skill that accompanies the Iron Mountain Nine Beast Transformation can only be activated after the Iron Mountain Nine Beast Transformation has been used.

This attack caught Lin Zhao completely off guard. With the enhancement of Phoenix Harmony and the Undying Golden Body Technique, Lin Zhao managed to withstand the attack.

Under Chen Yahu's bloodthirsty gaze, ignoring the numbness and dizziness in his head, Lin Zhao gathered all his spiritual energy and smashed Chen Yahu's head with a single punch.

When Lin Zhao felt the blood on his hands and face and couldn't hear anything around him, it took him a long time to realize that he had gone deaf.

However, given her Golden Core stage physique, this injury is only temporary; her ear will be healed in a day.

She wiped the blood from her face, circulated the Phoenix Vein Technique to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to repair her body, and then, as if remembering something, Lin Zhao squatted down and searched Chen Ya Hu's body for a long time before finally finding his spatial ring.

It took him a long time to finally retrieve the Iron Mountain Nine Beast Transformation technique he had been cultivating from the spatial ring.

"Master, what do you need this for?"

"Nine Beast Transformations... perhaps you'll find it useful in the future." Granny Honghu said with some emotion, "I thought this kind of spiritual skill had been lost. I must say, you're really lucky."

Just a heads up, I discussed the release with my editor, and it might be available in the next couple of days. It will be a pay-to-play period, so thank you to all the readers who supported me during the free period. Please support me when it's released! Of course, those who have already read it don't need to buy it.

If it gets published, I'll write at least 10,000 words in one go.
