Chapter 7 Star and Moon Transformation

Darkness descends!

The aura of fear and death descended like the collapse of the heavens.

It's so despairing it's suffocating!

However, Luo Qingfeng did not close his eyes and await death.

The moment the demon landed, he turned and ran wildly, using all the strength and potential within him!

Do not!

He can't die here!

He just came into this world and did nothing, how could he die like this?

A sinister laugh and a nauseating stench of decay came from behind.

He knew that life and death hung in the balance at that moment!

"Whoosh!"

He mustered all his strength and leaped forward!

At this moment, the demon behind him opened its blood-red maw, and its long, scarlet tongue shot out like a sharp arrow, aiming at his back.

But at that moment, Luo Qingfeng's body plummeted and disappeared into the darkness ahead!

"Whoosh!"

Water splashed everywhere under the wooden bridge.

It turned out that he had jumped into the small river under the wooden bridge.

He fell into the river and, without daring to linger, immediately swam quickly forward underwater with the flowing current.

He must live! He absolutely must live!

As long as he has a breath left, he will never give up!

He held his breath and swam forward with all his might.

I don't know how much time passed.

He finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He tilted his head back, quietly surfaced, took a few deep breaths, then sank back to the bottom and continued swimming forward.

They swam a distance further.

He surfaced again to breathe.

Only then did he dare to open his eyes and observe the area above and around him, but he did not see the demon.

But he still dared not relax and continued to sink to the bottom of the water and swim with the current.

A long time passed.

The current suddenly became rapid.

He dared not be careless and immediately surfaced to observe. He discovered that the current in front of him was swift and rapid, heading downwards, seemingly a steep and deep waterfall.

He was startled and dared not go any further, so he immediately swam towards the shore.

As he swam, he carefully observed his surroundings.

The night was silent.

There were trees on both sides, and apart from the sound of flowing water, there was no other sound.

He climbed ashore with trepidation, carefully observed his surroundings for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He was panting heavily and slumped down on the rocks on the shore.

My heart was still pounding.

We're finally safe.

It seems that the demon's target wasn't him, but rather the demon hunters.

I was just about to kill him; it was probably just a side effect.

At this point, the demon should have gone off to hunt down those demon hunters, right?

He's just an ordinary person, worthless, and there's no need to pursue him.

It was late at night.

Moonlight filtered through the clouds and fell down.

In the mountains and forests, all was silent, with a kind of eerie stillness.

He sat on the rock and rested for a while. He forced himself to stand up and was about to leave, exhausted, when his gaze suddenly fell on the river at his feet.

The cold moonlight fell on the river, and besides his reflection in the water, there was another dark figure standing silently behind him!

He suddenly turned around and looked behind him!

A huge, emerald-green eyeball sits atop its head; its entire body is covered in black tumors; its face is marked only by a gaping, blood-red mouth; and its chest is covered in dense, black strips of flesh that writhe like a swarm of venomous snakes…

—It was that demon!

This was no small matter!

Luo Qingfeng's heart nearly jumped out of his throat!

"Wow--"

The demon's gaping maw suddenly opened, and it lunged fiercely at him!

He could clearly see the long, crimson tongue coiling and writhing inside that gaping maw, and the two rows of sharp, menacing fangs.

He knew he had no chance of resisting or escaping.

At that moment, his mind went blank.

He died just like that?

But suddenly, the gaping maw, as wide as a black hole, split in two with a "whoosh."

The demon's entire body suddenly split in two.

A cold blue light flashed, like a bolt of lightning, passing through the demon's body.

The demon's two halves fell to the ground.

However, it did not die immediately.

It was wriggling rapidly on the ground, trying to close up together.

However, at that moment, a sword gleaming with blue light suddenly fell from the sky and pierced its black heart, which was halfway through its body, with a "whoosh".

A blue halo emanated from the sword, spreading outwards like ripples.

At this moment, the night was as bright as day!

Suddenly, the ground around them cracked.

The rocks beside Luo Qingfeng began to crack; the river behind him suddenly surged with waves.

However, he himself only felt as if a gentle breeze was blowing, and he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

"Aww—"

The demon on the ground let out a shrill and desperate scream.

Immediately, the ugly body shrank and changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a villager whose clothes were tattered but who had no arms.

While Luo Qingfeng was still in shock, he suddenly felt as if a blue text appeared in his mind: [Progress: Nine].

Just as he was about to take a closer look, the blue text quickly faded and disappeared.

"Huh, not bad luck, there's even a magic core!"

A figure suddenly leaped lightly down from a towering ancient tree in front of them, reached out and grabbed a black bead the size of a peanut from the ground.

"Well, it's a bit small, and it's the worst quality..."

He sighed again.

Upon closer inspection, Luo Qingfeng discovered that the man was a tall, imposing figure dressed in a blue robe with a gourd of wine hanging from his waist. He appeared to be only in his thirties, with short stubble on his face, bright eyes, and a handsome appearance. However, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were unkempt, and he looked rather slovenly.

The man sheathed his sword, sized him up, and asked with some surprise, "A scholar? An ordinary person? Strange, why is this demon chasing you?"

After saying that, he shook his head, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "My benefactor, please wait!"

This man killed the demon with a single sword strike, clearly far more powerful than the previous demon hunters.

He must seize this opportunity!

"My benefactor?"

The man stopped in his tracks upon hearing this, turned around to look at him, raised an eyebrow, and said, "What, you want to repay a debt of gratitude?"

Luo Qingfeng immediately cupped his hands and said, "My benefactor saved my life, so of course I must repay his kindness."

The man looked at him with interest and asked, "How do you plan to report this?"

Luo Qingfeng said earnestly, "I beg my benefactor to teach me the method of cultivation!"

The man paused, stared at him for a few more moments, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, hilarious..."

"You brat, not only do you not repay my kindness, but you actually want to ask me for things? Your shamelessness... tsk tsk, you truly are a scholar."

The man laughed and made a few sarcastic remarks before preparing to leave.

Luo Qingfeng quickly followed and said, "As long as my benefactor teaches me the cultivation method, I will definitely repay my benefactor when I achieve success in my cultivation in the future."

The man chuckled, ignored him, and quickened his pace.

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Luo Qingfeng quickly added, "Benefactor! Didn't you want the Demon Pill?"

Upon hearing this, the man suddenly stopped and turned to look at him, asking, "You do?"

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "I don't have any right now, but I can guarantee that as long as my benefactor teaches me the cultivation method, I will definitely help my benefactor collect... three within half a year!"

"Oh……"

No sooner had the man uttered a sarcastic remark than Luo Qingfeng immediately added, "Ten!"

Never mind, let's brag a little first!

No matter what, he was determined to seize this opportunity and become a cultivator!

Otherwise, how could he survive in this world full of demons?

"I swear this!"

Luo Qingfeng raised two fingers and swore an oath: "If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning!"

The man scoffed, "Kid, you're just a weak scholar. You probably don't even know the most basic cultivation knowledge. You want to achieve success in cultivation within a year, slaying demons and obtaining elixirs? Are you just bragging?"

Luo Qingfeng said with a resolute expression, "As long as my benefactor is willing to teach me, I will never let him down!"

The man retorted sarcastically, "Why should I believe you?"

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "My benefactor, you don't need to believe me. With your abilities, you probably don't care about those basic cultivation techniques, right? Just consider it a casual act of charity to make a good connection. Who knows, there might be some unexpected good fortune. Even if it doesn't have any effect, you won't lose anything."

At this point, he suddenly said with a confident expression, "Furthermore, my benefactor should know better than anyone that an ordinary person could not possibly survive against that demon. Although you just saved me, before you appeared, I survived being chased by that demon for a long time. Moreover, you just asked the same question: why would that demon relentlessly pursue an ordinary person?"

"This proves that I may not be ordinary!"

Although it's a little embarrassing to say this, at this moment, it's essential to maintain complete confidence.

If you don't even believe in yourself, how can others believe in you?

This might be his only chance, and he had to seize it!

The man stared at him for a moment, then sneered, "Scholars are indeed eloquent; you almost convinced me, but alas, I'm not falling for your tricks!"

Having said that, he vanished into the dark woods ahead in a flash.

Luo Qingfeng stood still, motionless.

After a while.

He sighed deeply, turned around, and walked upstream along the river.

It seems we'll have to think of another way.

Just then, the man's voice suddenly came from the woods again: "Young man, impress me with a single sentence, and I might consider it. My master once said that if a person has ambition, he must have a sword in his heart, an invincible sword that forges ahead bravely. You are a scholar; if you truly have that ambition, then let me see if you really have such a sword in your heart."

Luo Qingfeng stopped, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The roc rises with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high!"

The sounds from the woods ceased.

All around was utter silence.

But soon, two books flew down in front of Luo Qingfeng.

"A book of cultivation knowledge, a book of basic cultivation techniques. Whether you succeed or not, I will come back in a year to collect the Demon Pill. If you don't have it, I will rape you and then kill you! I will rape you again and then kill you again!"

"Also, what you just said was very good. Now that it's mine, just pretend you never said it..."

The sound faded away, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, picked up the book from the ground, and looked at it in the moonlight.

A copy of "The Tale of Leisure".

Another book: Star and Moon Transformation.
