The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 382 - A Scared Bird!

Chapter 382 A Scared Bird!

The beginning of this battle between the human soldiers and the Winged Legion was enough to shock everyone.

In everyone’s heart, humans were minuscule, while the Wingeds were powerful.

The fight was a slap in the face to those alien races who looked down on humans.

However, if people were smart enough, they would be able to tell that Jiang Tao and his men had taken advantage of the Wingeds’ arrogance to play the psycho act with them.

The Wingeds now were in a rage. As the saying goes, experience must be bought. After the failure, the Wingeds would become cautious, and what should Jiang Tao and his men do?

“Captain, let’s kill one more Winged with the bomb.” a soldier suggested excitedly.

As their captain, Jiang Tao naturally got some talent. He knew that the Wingeds now had become cautious and that he shouldn’t use the same trick twice.

He made a gesture, and the nine of them stealthily moved forward, far away from the Wingeds.

“You lowly humans, get the hell out.”

The Wingeds were furious. White halos shone brightly around them as countless feathers of theirs shot away like cold light, overturning the nearby mountain ridges one after another.

Jiang Tao was a battle-hardened veteran who knew how to size up the situation. He discussed with his men and decided to stay where he was, while the rest of them scattered in all directions.

Jiang Tao stood up and ran towards the back of a hill. Maybe he was too hurried that he accidentally bumped into a rock.

“Ouch!” Jiang Tao fell to the ground and rolled twice. He looked back and saw some Wingeds coming at him, and he immediately got up and started running.

“Where are you off to?”

Since the Wingeds had discovered him, they certainly would not let him go. They spread their wings and flew over.

Seeing that the Wingeds were so fast, Jiang Tao knew he couldn’t flee. He took out a grenade and threw it at the Winged that flew in the front.

The Wingeds were well-prepared; they dodged quickly in the air one after another. The grenade missed its target and fell to the ground, but did not explode.

“I run out of grenades. Who can give me one?” Jiang Tao shouted at his men.

A soldier stuck his head out from behind a hill and shouted, “Captain, I got some here.”

“F**k, why are you hiding so far away?” Jiang Tao cursed in anger. That soldier was too far away from him, so he simply turned over and threw himself at the grenade on the ground.

A Winged laughed coldly when he saw this. He swiftly landed on the ground and grabbed the grenade ahead of Jiang Tao.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao turned around and ran.

“You used this to kill my clansmen, and now, I’ll kill you with your own grenade.” The Winged laughed sinisterly.

Bang!

With the sound of a gunshot, a bullet whistled toward the Winged.

The Winged showed a disdainful look. With a flap of his wings, a feather shot toward the bullet like a streak of cold light and knocked it down directly.

The moment the bullet was shot down, a stream of purple light appeared and hit the grenade in the Winged’s hands as fast as lightning.

Boom!

Fire waves swept over the place. The Winged let out a mournful cry as he was blasted away. He lost one of his arms, his feathers scattered on the ground, his wings full of bloody holes. He was covered in blood, and his chest was exploded open, revealing his bones.

Bang!

He fell to the ground and rolled a few times. He lay on the ground and kept twitching, looking like he was going to die.

“Ahh... ”

The rest of the Wingeds flew into a rage and couldn’t help but roar. They suffered such a big loss, one member dead and one seriously injured.

“Kill them all.” A Winged flew toward the place where his enemies hid.

However, he soon fumed with rage because he couldn’t find his target. He had clearly seen his enemies behind the hill, but in the blink of an eye, they disappeared.

“Kill them.” One of the Wingeds roared. He landed on the ground beside the injured Winged to look after him.

Whoosh!

The rest of the Wingeds flapped their wings and exploded the place while flying, leaving several hills in collapse.

“How do you feel now?” the Winged who was there to take care of his injured companion asked.

“I don’t think I can make it. Get revenge for me.”

“Rest assured that I will kill those lowly humans and shatter their ashes.”

As soon as he finished his words, he heard a whirring sound. He turned his head and saw that the nine humans who he thought had disappeared surrounded him from all directions.

“You’d better worry about yourself first,” Jiang Tao said with a sneer.

Clatter! Clatter...!

Jiang Tao and his men pulled the triggers almost at the same time, and flames erupted from their muzzles. Countless bullets shot towards the Winged.

“Do you really think you can kill me with these toys?”

The Winged did not panic. With a flap of his wings, some of his feathers flew glittering and shot down the coming bullets.

However, the moment the bullets were shot down, streaks of purple light flew out, pierced through his protective halo, and shot directly into his body, causing blood to splash.

“Ahh...” The Winged screamed in pain; he couldn’t defend himself against the purple light at all.

Blood gushed out from the wounds all over his body.

“Fire! Kill this bastard, and don’t save bullets.” Jiang Tao shouted.

The Winged was caught in a rain of bullets, and soon his screams became weaker.

When the Wingeds that went to look for Jiang Tao and his men realized it was a trap, the two Wingeds that were left behind were riddled with bullets.

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Tao gave the order, and the other eight men moved in unison, withdrawing their guns and lying in ambush.

The six Wingeds returned, and when they saw that their companions got shot holes all over, their eyes turned bloodshot.

They howled bitterly like wild beasts.

Those who were watching the fight outside the painting were dumbfounded and looked like clay sculptures.

They even suspected that those nine Wingeds had been bought off and were just pretending to fight.

“Are they really the powerful Wingeds? Three of them died! And they haven’t fought the humans head-to-head yet!”

The elderly Winged looked extremely grim.

The members of the Winged Legion that stood behind him all roared, and their eye sockets almost cracked in rage. They urged the elderly Winged to let them enter the painting so as to kill Jiang Tao and his men.

“Well done,” Chu Xun said with a smile without considering the feelings of the Wingeds.

The elderly Winged glared at him grimly, his face twitching.

“Don’t be smug. They are just playing tricks. I still have six fighters on my side, and they will tear them into pieces.” The elderly Winged’s voice was filled with killing intent.

“Then let’s wait and see.” Chu Xun smiled faintly.

The elderly Winged’s face was ashen. With a cold snort, he shifted his gaze towards the Reality Painting.

Jiang Tao and his men hid at the back of a hill.

“Captain, let’s go out and fight with them. It’s just a bunch of avian-folks. I’m not afraid of them.”

“Yes, let’s go out and fight them head-to-head, shall we? Mr. Chu is right. I think we can deal with them even with the slingshot.”

“Captain, do you think Mr. Chu is a god? How come the bullets he touched are so powerful?”

Having killed three Wingeds in a row, they felt a little complacent.

Jiang Tao was itching for a head-to-head fight too. To him, it was more pleasing to fight head-to-head than ambushing.

“Captain, Mr. Chu said the Jade Cards we have could protect us from being killed, so what’s there to be afraid of? Let’s fight.”

Jiang Tao thought for a moment and nodded heavily.

“Line up and put them down.”

The nine of them stopped hiding and stepped out from the back of the hill.

“Hey, avian-folks, we’re here.” Jiang Tao shouted loudly.

On hearing the words, the Wingeds who were looking for them immediately flew over, roaring, with anger flaring up in their eyes.

“You lowly ants, how dare you kill the members of our Winged race? I’ll grind your bones to ashes.”

Jiang Tao squinted his eyes and said with disdain, “We’ve killed three of you, but you’re still bragging. Do you really think you’re angels because you have wings of chickens?”

“Kill them!” One of the Wingeds growled angrily.

The six Wingeds flapped their wings at the same time. Their feathers covered the sky and shot toward Jiang Tao and his men like sharp arrows.

“Fire!”

Jiang Tao roared.

Faced with the overwhelming sharp feathers, Jiang Tao and his men were terrified. However, out of trust in Chu Xun, they did not take a step back.

Those feathers knocked the bullets down, and many of them shot toward Jiang Tao and his men. Just as the feathers were about to hit them, streaks of purple light emerged from their bodies and protected them.

The purple light stopped the coming feathers and shattered them, which soon disappeared in the air.

Jiang Tao and his men were overjoyed. They realized that the Jade Cards had protected them and that Chu Xun didn’t lie.

On the contrary, the Wingeds in mid-air screamed one after another. The purple light pierced through their wings and bodies, causing blood to splash.

“Brothers, let’s kill these avian-folks!”

Seeing this, Jiang Tao was overjoyed. He fired at the Wingeds crazily.

His men also laughed wildly and fired with all their strength.

Bullets flew all over the place as if they cost no money.

Go, let’s go, hurry up.”

The Wingeds were shocked to find that those bullets fired by human beings could actually hurt them. They started fleeing while roaring.

The people watching the fight outside the painting were stupefied. They didn’t know what was going on inside.

The face of the elderly Winged was as black as pitch. He shot a sinister glance at Chu Xun; he believed that it was Chu Xun’s ploy.

“Old bird, those young birds of yours are too weak. They aren’t as strong as you said,” Chu Xun said in a mocking tone.

Jiang Tao shouted in the Reality Painting. “Bros, go after them and kill them.”

The nine of them chased after the Wingeds with their guns in hand.

The six Wingeds’ wings flapped violently as they fled. They were all injured to a different degree and like frightened birds.

“What f*cking tricks did these lowly humans play?” a Winged cursed.

They realized that their feathers couldn’t hurt their enemies while they could be easily injured by their bullets.

They didn’t know that the remaining power of those Reincarnation Lines was less than one-tenth of their original power, for they were not controlled by Chu Xun; otherwise, they would have been seckilled by those Reincarnation Lines.

“Come on, birdshooting begins! I will buy whoever shoots a bird down a drink when we are back.” Jiang Tao shouted.

“Captain, I will be waiting for your treat.”

Jiang Tao’s men all shouted as they continued chasing after the Wingeds with their guns in hand.

The Wingeds flew so fast they were beyond the shooting range of Jiang Tao and his men.

They felt extremely aggrieved because they were actually chased by those who they looked down on.

Jiang Tao and his men felt upset because they couldn’t catch up with the Wingeds. The fact that they could kill them but couldn’t catch up with them gave them a headache.

“Pah! Aren’t you avian-folks very strong? Stop fleeing and fight me if you have guts.” Jiang Tao was gasping while running, and he couldn’t help but curse.

“You old hens, stop! Let me feed you with some peanuts.” a soldier among them yelled.

“Aren’t you Wingeds always so proud of yourselves? Don’t you always look down on us human beings? Don’t you always think you’re superior to us? Why running so desperately like homeless dogs and frightened birds?”

Jiang Tao and his men cursed one after another, trying to infuriate these Wingeds.

“I’ve had enough! I must kill these lowly creatures.” One Winged couldn’t hold back his anger. He flew back to his enemies and launched an attack with his fancy gold sword that was hanging by his waist, instead of his feathers.

As he wielded his sword, a streak of golden sword light flashed and slashed at Jiang Tao. He knew that to win a battle, he must take down the leader of his enemies first.

Unfortunately, the purple light that emerged in front of Jiang Tao immediately shattered the sword light.

As there was finally a Winged within their shooting range, Jiang Tao immediately took out a grenade and threw it at him, while his men all fired wildly at him.

With a booming sound, flames swept across the place and blasts kept rolling. The sky was covered with white feathers as if it were snowing. The Winged was torn apart by the explosion, his broken limbs flying in the air, with a rain of blood falling in the place.
