The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 463 - Gotta Fight You!

Chapter 463 Gotta Fight You!

Flaming Qilin, an ancient sacred beast, came to the stage with imposing momentum. In no time, he directly crushed the lower half of Hei Zong’s body.

Hei Zong howled miserably. His voice was as shrill as that of a crying ghost. Half of its body had been burnt into a cinder. Few could bear this kind of pain.

“How dare you eye on the Soul-Curing Flower. You are really courting death.” Flaming Qilin’s eyes, which were as formidable as a tiger’s, glared around at the crowd with disdain.

As an ancient sacred beast, Flaming Qilin indeed had something to be proud of. His cultivation was incredibly mighty. He undoubtedly had the qualifications to overlook all living things.

It could be said that the giants of the six alien races were in a rather miserable state. Kong Liqun and Huang Hai had been seriously injured. Hei Zong had completely lost his fighting capacity.

“Brother Flaming Qilin.” Zi Yan was not afraid of him. On the contrary, she happily waved at him.

Flaming Qilin flickered his eyes at Scarlet Siren and the others only to see that she and the others were standing there with Chu Xun. “Scarlet Siren, how could you help human beings?”

“Flaming Qilin, now that the Soul-Curing Flower has bloomed, our promise had been fulfilled,” said Scarlet Siren.

“Indeed, you’ve kept your promise since the Soul-Curing Flower blossomed. However, the Soul-Curing Flower isn’t something these ants can covet,” Flaming Qilin remarked.

Scarlet Siren fell silent. She was well aware of Flaming Qilin’s pride.

“I’ll give you three seconds to get out of here. If you don’t, none of you can leave,” Flaming Qilinwas announced domineeringly.

Scarlet Siren and her six sisters, as well as Gao Mohan and the others, all subconsciously eyed Chu Xun.

The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth slightly curled up. All of a sudden, he whipped around and wielded his broadsword.

“Pop!”

Blood squirted in all directions. A human head fell to the ground. The injured Liu Jiuyuan had been directly beheaded.

Everyone was stupefied. Chu Xun had killed Liu Jiuyuan!

Chu Xun still looked perfectly calm. He bent down and took off Liu Jiuyuan’s Storage Ring. Under everyone’s gaze, he put it away. That ring was the one that held everyone’s resources.

Then, in one stride, Chu Xun approached the injured Huang Hai, who was healing his wounds by himself.

“Samsara, what are you gonna do?” he asked, his face turning pale and his eyes filled with horror.

“Kaboom!”

Chu Xun threw a punch so powerful and majestic that it was utterly unstoppable.

“Bang!”

No sooner had Huang Hai let out a shrill cry than Chu Xun blew up his head. At the same time, Chu Xun also took away his Storage Ring.

“Samsara, you’re asking for death,” Lang Mu roared like mad.

The giant of the Zombie race and the giant of the Winged race were both furious.

“Swoosh!”

Chu Xun dashed to the wounded Kong Liqun at the speed of light.

“Samsara, you are seeking your own doom. At times like this, we were supposed to join hands to deal with Flaming Qilin,” Kong Liqun bellowed in horror.

“My name is Chu Xun.” With a cold expression, Chu Xun said, “As to Flaming Qilin, I will deal with him in a moment. I only brought you with me to explore the way. The companion divine sword of the Soul-Curing Flower has been unraveled by you. Thus, you are already useless to me. Just go face your doom in peace.”

Before his voice died away, his terrifying fist print had already zoomed toward Kong Liqun.

Kong Liqun roared in fury. His Internal Breath surged, forming a horrible palm print and hurling it at Chu Xun.

“Kaboom!”

The air around the blast rolled and churned.

Kong Liqun was already seriously injured. How could he be a match for Chu Xun? In an instant, he was thrown to the air by the blast.

Chu Xun caught up with Kong Liqun like a shadow. He conjured a fist print with his hands and launched his killing move without giving him a chance to fight back.

“Bam! Bam!”

The mountains and the earth started shaking as the formidable force continuously spread. Kong Liqun let out shrill howls. Several fist prints exploded on his body, causing his bones to shatter and his internal organs to shift.

“Chu Xun the Devil!” Kong Liqun shouted angrily like a malicious ghost.

Lang Mu and the others were also rendered dumbfounded. Samsara was Chu Xun the Devil. Liu Jiuyuan had guessed right.

It turned out that they had been used by Chu Xun the whole time.

“Chu Xun the Devil, don’t you dare to be so unscrupulous!” Lang Mu howled angrily. “You pretended to be an alliance and took advantage of us. You will die a terrible death for you’ve done.”

“Stop being so hypocritical. Do you really think that I don’t know about the collusion between you and Liu Jiuyuan?” Chu Xun sneered. Liu Jiuyuan had already reached an agreement with the alien races in private. Once the exploration of the ancient ruins was completed, they would join hands to kill Chu Xun.

Lang Mu and the others were shocked at those words. They could not understand how Chu Xun knew that. It was Liu Jiuyuan who came to them for this deal. According to their agreement, after the exploration of the ancient ruins was done, Lang Mu would be the first to launch a sneak attack on Chu Xun, and then the others would attack him together. When that time came, even if Chu Xun had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to escape death.

Therefore, before they came in here, they all handed over all their resources to Liu Jiuyuan without any concerns. But now, all the resources had been snatched away by Chu Xun.

“Chu Xun the Devil, you are just talking nonsense. Don’t try to cover up your despicable way of conducting yourself,” the giant of the Zombie race yelled angrily.

“I don’t need to explain my way of conducting myself to you,” Chu Xun said with a sneer. At the same time, he made a magic signet on the tip of his fingers and gently pointed his fingers at the others.

“Rumble!”

The void distorted, and three giant fingers materialized, crushing down on Lang Mu and the other two who were rushing toward Chu Xun.

“Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom!”

Three earth-shattering explosions occurred, deafening the ears and making the dust roll. Lang Mu and the other two were forced to retreat in a sorry manner.

The three looked extremely mortified. They had joined forces to attack, yet Chu Xun easily stopped them by himself.

Chu Xun threw a frosty look at Kong Liqun, then swung his fist indifferently. The momentum of this punch surged.

Kong Liqun screamed in horror. With a bang, his head was blown up and reduced into a mist of blood. After he died, he revealed his original form, which was a huge peacock nearly 30 meters tall.

“Chu Xun the Devil, you’ll die a horrible death,” Lang Mu roared, unable to restrain his rage.

“Let’s attack together and kill him!” the giant of the Zombie race bawled.

The three of them moved together and frenetically rushed toward Chu Xun with extremely fierce auras.

Composed as always, Chu Xun conjured a fist print with his hands. The Hong Meng Immortal Qi about him surged. His limbs and bones were issuing fiery light, ready to face the attack head-on.

“Kaboom!”

Chu Xun’s fist collided with Lang Mu’s fist, sending the latter flying.

“Wham!”

A storm swept over, and the giant of the Zombie race roared. His protective aura had been smashed by Chu Xun’s fist, and the fist print was imprinted on his chest, leaving a distinct mark of the fist.

The giant of the Winged race flew to the sky. With a flap of his wings, numerous feathers turned into freezing jets of light and shot at Chu Xun from the sky.

“Hum!”

Tens of thousands of Reincarnation Lines roamed about. They swarmed over and collided with the feathers that filled the sky, generating a series of loud explosions with resplendent brilliance.

With a roar, Lang Mu covered a kilometer in one leap and pounced on Chu Xun. His hands turned into wolf claws gleaming with blood-curdling light and grabbed at Chu Xun’s neck.

“Get lost!”

Chu Xun punched out. His fist force was as appalling as a thunderbolt, making the void quiver and sending Lang Mu flying again, whose arms were convulsing and trembling.

With a flip of his hand, the giant of the Zombie race grabbed his black spear, the tip of which was surrounded by thunder and lightning. With a terrible penetrating force, the spear shot fiercely at Chu Xun. At that moment, the void seemed to have been torn apart.

A ring of purple light flashed on Chu Xun’s fist as if his fist were made of purple crystal. He punched out and hit the long spear.

“Clang!”

Sparks flew in all directions, and the long spear was sent flying by the punch.

The giant of the Zombie race summoned his long spear back before activating its extra force. Instantly, a ball of black light surged on the spear and it charged at Chu Xun with daunting momentum.

“Kaboom!”

With the purple light swirling around his body and illuminating the sky, Chu Xun stretched out his purple crystal-like palm, grabbed the spear, and flang it at the giant of the Winged race in the air.

“Swoosh!”

A sharp sound rang through the air as the long spear zoomed to the sky like a streak of black lightning. A pop sound was heard. Then, the giant of the Winged race cried out in alarm. Blood splashed out from his shoulder, which was almost pierced through by the long spear.

“Chu Xun the Devil, go to hell!” The giant of the Winged race flew into a rage. He flipped his palm and took out a golden feather fan before waving it in the air. The space between him and Chu Xun suddenly distorted. The terrible ripples, like a tornado, swept toward Chu Xun with dreadful killing force.

“You’re not the only one who owns this kind of fan.” Chu Xun laughed coldly. He then fetched a feather fan, which was exactly the same as that of the giant of the Winged race, and fanned it in the air.

The purple light began to rotate, and the speed was picking up. The turbulence caused the void to tremble.

The two streams of air collided with each other and exploded with a loud bang. The horrific force scattered in all directions and crushed the surrounding boulders into powder.

“The Earth Fan!” The giant of the Winged race was astounded.

It turned out that there were two Fans of Cosmos. The one in the hands of the giants of the Winged race was the Heaven Fan, while the one in Chu Xun’s hands was the Earth Fan.

Chu Xun had long noticed that his fan was incomplete. It turned out that the Fan of Cosmos was constituted by two fans.

“It turns out that one of my fans is in your hand. Give it to me.” Chu Xun opened his mouth and spat out a jet of purple light.

The giant of the Winged race was both shocked and scandalized. He urged his feather fan to charge at the fan glowing in purple that Chu Xun had tossed to the air.

“Swish!”

The powerful airflow generated by the feather fan was easily cleaved by the purple light. With a pop sound, Chun Xun’s fan cut through the arm of the giant of the Winged race.

“Aargh...” The giant of the Winged race cried out in pain despite himself. He could not longer hold the feather fan in his hands anymore, and it fell from the sky.

The giant of the Winged race turned pale with fright. The Earth Fan had already been plundered by Chu Xun. If the Heaven Fan was also snatched away, the Winged race would lose face to the extreme. Thinking of that, the giant of the Winged race abruptly pounced on the falling feather fan.

“Whoosh!”

A high-pitched sound of something zooming in the air was hurt everyone’s ears. The Reincarnation Whip whistled over and wrapped itself around the feather fan, which was dragged into Chu Xun’s hand.

“Give it back to me!” The giant of the Winged race roared furiously.

Chu Xun remained calm. He glanced at him indifferently and put the two feather fans together. There was a slot on each of the two feather fans. With a click, the two fans merged into one.

“If you want it, I’ll give it to you.” Chu Xun activated the Fan of Cosmos, which surprisingly shone with a bright purple-golden light. When Chu Xun vehemently waved it, a beam of appalling purple-golden light swept out and enveloped the giant of the Winged race.

“Ah...” The giant of the Winged race let out a spine-chilling scream. His sleek feathers scattered everywhere. The terrifying killing force almost tore him to pieces. His entire body was covered in blood as he fell from mid-air. With a bang, he hit the ground, creating a large crater in the earth.

Chu Xun pelted toward him as fast as lightning. He swiftly wielded his broadsword. With a flash of purple light and a pop sound, blood gushed out as the head of the giant of the Winged race dropped to the ground.

Just like that, the giant of the Winged race was beheaded. To be more precise, he died in the hands of his clan’s supreme treasure.

Gao Mohan and the others were so frightened that their hands and feet went cold. They asked themselves what would happen if they met Chu Xun in a battle. They did not need to think hard to conclude that they would end up even worse than these alien giants. The three of them felt lucky that they were friends with Chu Xun, not his enemies.

Scarlet Siren and her six sisters were also shocked. They had long heard that Chu Xun was powerful, but they did not expect him to be so peerlessly intimidating and domineering.

Now, Lang Mu and the giant of the Zombie race were the alien giants left. Their fighting spirit drooped considerably, for they had been gravely unnerved by Chu Xun’s strong strength.

“Chu Xun the Devil, do you really want to fight against the alien races to the death?” Lang Mu demanded in rage.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Chu Xun’s eyes. The next moment, he pounced on Lang Mu. He put away his Fan of Cosmos and raised his fist to throw deadly punches.

“Bam! Bam!”

After he launched more than a dozen punches, Lang Mu was sent flying. There was a ghastly hole that was still bleeding in his chest. His body was almost punctured.

“Kill!” Lang Mu went into a frenzy. Holding the six-meter-long spiked mace in one hand, he swooped on Chu Xun. He appeared to be rather fierce, and the bleeding wound in his chest did not bother him at all.

“Kill!” The giant of the Zombie race also roared and rushed to Chu Xun.

The two of them both understood that their only hope of survival was to join hands.

“Clang!”

Chu Xun used his fist to block the mace head-on. The impact of the collision forced Lang Mu to take several paces back. The ground cracked under his feet, and the skin between his thumb and index finger was also split. His arms started to convulse as well.

“Wham!”

The long spear of the giant of the Zombie race was also flung to the air under the impact. Chu Xun’s punch landed right in his chest, fracturing his bones and tendons.

The two of them were so shocked that their faces turned ghostly pale. Chu Xun’s cultivation was simply too strong.

“Whoosh!”

Lang Mu brandished his mace. After being activated, the mace flashed a cold silver light. Grabbing the mace, Lang Mu dashed toward Chu Xun again.

Chu Xun’s eyes were icy cold. As a beam of golden light flashed in his hand, the Dragon’s Wrath appeared on his palm. With a mighty force, he slashed the saber vertically. The purple-gold Saber Qi tore through the air and went at Lang Mu.

Bellowing menacingly, Lang Mu brandished his mace at the Saber Qi.

“Pop!”

The purple-golden Saber Qi flashed and disappeared into the sky.

Lang Mu suddenly froze on the spot. His eyes were widened in disbelief.

“Clank!”

The mace cracked open. Half of it fell to the ground. The other half was held in Lang Mu’s hand. However, Lang Mu instantly fell to both sides. Because he had been cut into two halves by Chu Xun.

“Bang! Bang!”

Dust flew everywhere as the two halves of his body fell to the ground, one on the left and the other on the right. Then, Lang Mu transformed into his original body, which made the ground shake.

The giant of the Zombie race nearly jumped out of his skin in fright. He spun around and fled without hesitation.

The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth were slightly raised. Since the moment the giants of the six alien races stepped into the ancient ruins, they already had no chance to leave alive.

“Swoosh!”

Chu Xun’s figure flashed. He moved even faster than lightning. In a fraction of a second, he caught up with the giant of the Zombie race. The Dragon’s Wrath hacked fiercely at the target, emitting powerful Saber QI.

“Pop!”

The upper part of the giant of the Zombie race flew away, while the lower part of his body remained where it was. He had been cut in half at the waist.

The six alien giants, together with Liu Jiuyuan, the seventh giant, had all been killed by Chu Xun by far.

If the news of this kind of battle result were released to the public, it would definitely scare many juniors to death.

Next, Chu Xun unhurriedly cleaned up the battlefield. He took off all the Storage Rings of the several giants, and then put them away in an aboveboard manner.

After doing all this, Chu Xun walked to Gao Mohan and the other two and tossed a Storage Ring to them.

“These are the resources for you. I’ve also added some to the collection to thank you for helping me out before.” When he was a little shy before and lacked resources, each of the three people helped him gather 100 high-grade spiritual herbs.

Gao Mohan and the other two checked the resources in the ring. They found that after deducting what they had given Chu Xun before, Chun Xun now paid them back with doubled herbs.

“How could we take these?” Gao Mohan was a little torn. Before, each of them had 500 herbs to Chu Xun. But now, Chu Xun was giving each of them 1000 herbs. They had done nothing to earn the extra herbs. If they accepted the Storage Ring, they would be taking things they did not pay for.

“Just take it. I always requite a favor with a favor, require hatred with hatred.” Chu Xun chuckled.

Gao Mohan and the other two thanked him again and again before they eventually accepted the gift. After all, when it came to resources, no one could ever have enough, let alone what Chu Xun gave them were the high-grade spiritual herbs two times more than what they gave him. It was equivalent to what they could gain after emptying an ordinary ancient relic.

“Chu Xun the Devil, what an imposing name you have!” Violet Fairywren looked at Chu Xun with admiration.

Chu Xun smiled and said, “If you like it, we can call you Violet the Devil from now on.”

“No! It sounds horrible,” Violet Fairywren said with distaste.

Chu Xun chuckled, then motioned for everyone to step back. Now was the time for the real battle.

Flaming Qilin was an ancient sacred beast that had unfathomable cultivation. Nonetheless, Chu Xun had a hunch that it would be a fierce battle.

“Flaming Qilin, Chu Xun really needs the Soul-Curing Flower. Please just let him have it.” Scarlet Siren put in a good word for Chu Xun. She was on good terms with Flaming Qilin and so knew how powerful he was. However, based on the previous battle, in which Chu Xun killed seven giants with unstoppable momentum, she knew Chu Xun’s fighting capability was also amazing. Now, she really could not tell which one of them was more powerful.

However, she hated to see Flaming Qilin or Chu Xun get hurt.

“Scarlet Siren, are you attached to him?” asked Flaming Qilin.

Scarlet Siren shook her head and said, “Not yet. It’s just that I’m considering it.”

Flaming Qilin then looked at Chu Xun and remarked, “I admit that you are very powerful, but I can’t let you take away the Soul-Curing Flower like this.”

“The moment the Soul-Curing Flower blossomed, your vows have been fulfilled. But why are you stopping me?” Chu Xun asked.

“The Soul-Curing Flower grows in the first thousand years. It sprouts in the second thousand years, and blooms and ripes in the third thousand years. I’ve watched it grow and blossom for all those years. It has nothing to do with vows. Even if Periwinkle Sol doesn’t want it, it won’t be your turn to take it.” Flaming Qilin had made it very clear that if Periwinkle Sol did not care to have it, the Soul-Curing Flower would be his.

Chu Xun stepped forward, his eyes bearing into Flaming Qilin’s.

“In that case, we gotta fight.”

Flaming Qilin said, “Though you are powerful, you are definitely no match for me.”

“It’s useless to say more. No one can have the Soul-Curing Flower but me.”

“Swoosh!”

Before his voice died away, Chu Xun had already raced to Flaming Qilin. He went to his side in just one stride and raised his fist to punch him.

“Whoosh!”

Flaming Qilin opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of hot magma, which was so hot that it could melt steel. The temperature within a hundred meters rose sharply. White vapor began to rise from the ground.

“Kaboom!”

Chu Xun showed no fear for the magma at all. He blew it open with one punch, not slowing down any bit. Next, his fist momentum rose, and his strike hit Flaming Qilin with a loud bang.

“Clang! Clang!”

Flaming Qilin was unscathed, but the impact forced him to back two paces. The ground under his feet trembled every time he took a step.

“Whoosh!”

Flaming Qilin raised his front hooves and attempted to tramp on Chu Xun.

Chu Xun agilely ducked that blow. Flaming Qilin’s hooves landed on the ground, causing a crack that was 100 meters long to stretch over the ground.

“If that’s all you’ve got, you can’t keep the Soul-Curing Flower for a day.” Chu Xun laughed wildly and leaped straight to the air. He turned around in midair, swooped down head first, and stretched out a hand to throw a punch.

“Kaboom!”

The air was distorted, and the void was shaking. The earth-shattering palm print fell with a rumbling sound.

It was the Demon-slaughtering Palm.

Flaming Qilin held his chin up. The two horns on his head glowed brightly. Another two streaks of red light shot out. With a rumbling sound, the Demon-slaughtering Palm was shattered.

Chu Xun weaved through the storm caused by the explosion. His fists were shining in purple. He waved his fists in succession, producing a load of imposing fist prints, which then relentlessly landed on the Flaming Qilin’s back and exploded one after another.

Flaming Qilin’s entire body was immersed in the sea of flashing red light, trembling violently. However, he managed to withstand all of the fist prints and remained completely unharmed.

“Whoosh!”

Before Chu Xun landed on the ground, Flaming Qilin’s two horns gleamed as he rushed toward Chu Xun with all his strength.

Chu Xun abruptly threw a punch. When his fist print hit Flaming Qilin’s two horns, the purple and red lights exploded. The great counterforce pushed Flaming Qilin to take several paces back.

Chu Xun was also sent flying backward by the impact. His arms were slightly spasming and trembling. He was a little shocked. Because Flaming Qilin’s defense was really horrific.

“Whoosh!”

The magma flew across the sky, burning the air on the way as it darted straight toward Chu Xun.

Chu Xun shook his fist and scattered the magma. He then waved both his fists in succession and conjured more than a dozen fist prints in one breath, which bombarded Flaming Qilin’s head.

“Bam! Bam!”

The frightful violet light exploded, and a strong wind spread out. The mountain rocks were crushed, and the power was terrifying.

Yet, these could not do any harm to Flaming Qilin, for his defensive power was too strong.

Flaming Qilin also released his True Fire. His four hooves stepped heavily on the ground, causing the ground to crack. He galloped toward Chu Xun, with its two front legs holding in to fiercely stamp Chu Xun.

“How fast he is!” Chu Xun was surprised at Flaming Qilin’s speed. Although Flaming Qilin was still not as fast as him, the former was not much slower either.

Chu Xun rapidly threw out two punches, which collided with Flaming Qilin’s two hooves. The terrible airflow spread in all directions, which could even damage gold and stone.

Flaming Qilin’s huge body was thrown into the air.

Chu Xun was also sent flying backward before he crashed into a ten-thousand-pound stone with a rumble.

Gao Mohan and the others were struck dumb by the scene. They never knew Flaming Qilin was actually so strong.

Scarlet Siren and her six sisters were also flabbergasted. They did not expect that Chu Xun was actually so strong.

“Kaboom!”

Chu Xun began to make a magic signet. The void quivered and the clouds tossed and churned in the sky.

He performed the Demon-slain Finger—the fourth fingers shaking the sky.

An ancient and desolate aura pervaded the air, and a huge pillar suddenly fell from the sky. It bore down on Flaming Qilin with a force that could crush everything.

When dealing with the alien giants, Chu Xun only used the first three fingers. While facing Chu Xun, he directly used the fourth finger. It was doubtless that Flaming Qilin was the most difficult opponent he had tackled so far.

Flaming Qilin raised its head and looked at the Demon-slain Finger bearing down on him. His formidable eyes took on a solemn look. His whole body began to glow in red, which seemed to become twice his original size. To everyone’s horror, with a kick of his four hooves, he rose into the air and pelted toward the giant pillar to collide with it.
