The Immortal Emperor Returns-Chapter 538 - One Got Injured While One Was Killed

Kong Changcun transformed into his original form. His huge body blotted out the sky, and as he flapped his wings, there was a hurricane sweeping the sand all over the sky.

“Chu Xun the Devil, you’ve gone too far.” Kong Changcun’s voice thundered in the air like a huge bell.

“Well, you are just a beast, so there is no need for me to show you any mercy.” Chu Xun sneered disdainfully.

“Do you really think you are invincible in this world?” Kong Changcun roared, surrounded by flowing light.

“Brother Kong, don’t...”

Xie Qingyun shouted, but before he could finish his words, Kong Changcun shook some feathers off his body. Those feathers were as sharp as arrows and shot toward Chu Xun.

Buzz!

The Reincarnation Lines flew all over the sky and shot out as well. With a series of explosions, those feathers were blown up by the Reincarnation Lines and disappeared.

“Idiot!” Zu Si yelled angrily. Even if Kong Changcun attacked Chu Xun with all his feathers, he wouldn’t be able to hurt him.

Bang!

The sand under Chu Xun’s feet exploded and he suddenly disappeared.

“Brother Kong, be careful...” Huang Chi was shocked and roared.

Suddenly, Chu Xun appeared in the sky above Kong Changcun and was descending at an extremely fast speed.

All of Kong Changcun’s feathers stood on end, and he flapped his wings like a fighting cock and intended to flee. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Unfortunately, he failed to dodge Chu Xun’s attack.

Boom!

Chu Xun landed from the sky and stepped on the head of the huge peacock. His terrifying power poured down on Kong Changcun like tides, and there was a faint sound of bones cracking.

Kong Changcun screamed and fell to the ground headlong with Chu Xun stepping on his head, like a meteor falling to the ground.

Boom!

Sand was sent flying all over the sky. Kong Changcun’s head crashed into the sand with his lower body above the ground.

Everyone present gasped in shock when seeing that Chu Xun could step the head of a huge peacock into the sand. They felt pain for Kong Changcun and heard the sound of bone cracking when the latter’s head crashed into the sand.

Chu Xun raised his saber and hacked off one of Kong Changcun’s wings.

Kong Changcun’s huge body trembled violently from the intense pain, causing the sand to shake with it.

Whoosh!

He pulled his head out of the sand, leaving a pit more than ten meters deep there and causing the sand to collapse.

Xie Qingyun and the others could not bear to look at Kong Changcun anymore because the latter’s head tilted to one side and his neck had obviously fractured.

He transformed into his human shape and screamed in pain.

“Jingchou, catch this.” Chu Xun casually flung the wing of the peacock he had just hacked off at the ship in the sky. The wing weighed at least several thousand kilograms.

“Do you know what to do?” Chu Xun asked.

“Yes, Uncle. The meal will be ready when you come back,” said Yue Jingchou, knowing well that Chu Xun wanted the wing to be roasted.

He remembered when the Zombie race attacked the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy, Chu Xun killed a small peacock with a slap and gave the meat to the disciples of the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy. Those disciples roasted the meat and didn’t finish it even after half a month.

Yue Jingchou started to remove the feathers from the wing, clean it, and cut it into several pieces. He was quite deft at it.

Xie Qingyun and his men felt terrified. They had long heard that Chu Xun ate alien races, but they were still shocked to see it with their own eyes.

Hei Peng’s face turned livid. He had heard that Hei Teng, an expert from the Draconian race, was killed, then roasted, and eaten by Chu Xun.

Chu Xun looked at Huang Chi.

Huang Chi immediately shivered.

“You’re thinking too much, weasel. Even dogs won’t eat a dirty thing like you, let alone me,” Chu Xun said disdainfully. He had never heard of anyone eating weasel.

Huang Chi couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. He felt glad that he wouldn’t be eaten.

Swoosh!

Chu Xun took a step forward and approached him. He punched fiercely with unparalleled power.

Huang Chi desperately tried his best to defend himself.

Bang!

With a mist of blood in the air, Huang Chi’s arms were blown up by Chu Xun’s punch. Yet, Chu Xun didn’t stop. His punch then landed on Huang Chi’s chest. As the frightening Hong Meng Immortal Qi spread out, Huang Chi screamed in horror. The next moment, his body was exploded into pieces.

Chu Xun sneered. “I won’t eat you because you make me sick. But I never said I wouldn’t kill you.”

“Brother Chu, you...” Xie Qingyun didn’t expect Chu Xun to be so violent as to injure Kong Changcun and kill Huang Chi.

“Brother Xie, I remember that I’ve warned him to behave himself. As I said, if he dared to act presumptuously again, I would kill him.” There was a frightening look in Chu Xun’s bright eyes. “Do you really think that I have a good temper?” 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

With that, Chu Xun peered at Kong Changcun, who was seriously injured, with his eyes full of murderous intent.

“Brother Chu, if you continue to kill like this, we’ll no longer be allies,” Xie Qingyun said hastily.

Chu Xun looked at him with a sneer and said, “Are you threatening me?”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Xie Qingyun hurriedly waved his hand. “The ancient ruins are full of danger. The fewer experts we have, the more danger we will face. Brother Chu, please give it a second thought. After everything is settled, I won’t stop you from settling the grudges between you and others.”

“Full of danger?” Chu Xun looked at him and said, “Brother Xie, I have to blame you. If you had told me this earlier, I wouldn’t have killed them. You know the ancient ruins best among us all. If you hadn’t told me, I would have thought that these good-for-nothings were just following us like beggars.”

Xie Qingyun’s eyes widened. How could he be blamed for this? After all, everyone knew how dangerous it would be in the ancient ruins.

Chu Xun looked at Kong Changcun, who was in the human shape and had lost an arm, and said, “Old Peacock, I’m sorry for what I did. But Brother Xie is the only one to blame for this.”

After that, he strode over to Kong Changcun, took off the latter’s Storage Ring, and put it away. Then, he patted him on the shoulder and said, “Take a good rest to recover from your injuries. Brother Xie said that it was very dangerous in the ancient ruins, and you may die there if you go in like this.”

Xie Qingyun’s chest heaved up and down like a bellows. His eyelids were jumping, the corners of his mouth were twitching, and he felt so much grievance. He secretly cursed Chu Xun for being shameless.

His Storage Ring had been snatched away and he had been mocked in front of everyone. These made him feel ashamed and resentful. He lowered his head to hide the deep hatred in his eyes.

“The meal is ready, Uncle,” Yue Jingchou said from the ship.

“I’m coming.” Chu Xun walked a few steps and then stopped. He remembered that there was a group of human beings. He looked at the expert in the Human-Immortal Realm and invited him to go with him. “Why don’t you board the ship with me, my Taoist friend? I’ll treat you to peacock meat.”

“No, thank you, Immortal Chu.” The expert swallowed his saliva. In fact, he wanted to eat it very much. He had heard that the meat of the peacock at the Immortal Level was like a precious medicine and contained a vast amount of life essence. But he was not as strong as Chu Xun. If he dared to take a bite of the meat, he would be hunted by the Peacock race.

“You missed a delicious meal,” Chu Xun said with a smile. Then he asked with a serious expression, “Are you going to the Suspended Mountain?”

The expert nodded.

“I’d suggest you go back following the way you came.” Chu Xun pointed at Xie Qingyun and his companions and said, “See? They are the experts of the Assembly of Immortals and the alien races. They will take control of the whole ancient ruins.”

“Thank you, Immortal Chu. We’ll go back now,” the expert said. Chu Xun had made it very clear that they would only get themselves killed if they went there.

“Jingchou!” Chu Xun shouted.

“Understood, Uncle,” said Yue Jingchou, cutting off a piece of meat weighing more than a hundred kilograms and bringing it over.

Chu Xun could not help but secretly praising Yue Jingchou for being smart.

“Go back. Take this meat and eat it on the way back. Then this trip will be worth it.” Chu Xun motioned Yue Jingchou to hand the meat to the expert.

“This...” The expert’s eyes glinted with eagerness, but he dared not to take it. Taking the peacock meat in front of so many people would certainly offend the alien races.

“Goddammit, forget it. Let me eat first. I’ll never be friends with the alien races anyway.” Having thought it through, the expert took the peacock meat and thanked Chu Xun again.

After saying goodbye to Chu Xun gratefully, the group of people went back the way they came.

“Uncle, the meat is ready. Let’s go to eat it,” Yue Jingchou said to Chu Xun.

“Okay.” Chu Xun was about to board the ship when he suddenly stopped and looked at Hei Peng. He said with a smile, “Brother Hei, how about making a deal?”

“What deal?” Hei Peng asked.

“I heard that snake meat soup tastes good. How about I exchange a piece of peacock meat for a piece of meat on your body?” Chu Xun looked at him seriously and asked.

Instantly, Hei Peng’s face turned as black as pitch, and he felt extremely aggrieved. If it had not been Chu Xun but someone else that said this, he would slap the man to death.

“Exchange a piece of peacock meat for a piece of meat on my body? How evil he is!”

“No.” Having seen how cruel Chu Xun was with his own eyes, Hei Peng was very afraid of him and replied in a low voice with a gloomy face.

Chu Xun gave up persuading him and muttered, “What a petty man.”

Hei Peng was so angry that his nose almost became crooked. He was not the Buddha who would cut off his own flesh and feed it to the eagle.

Zu Si looked gloomy as well. His eyes glittered, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xie Qingyun complained inwardly and went over to treat Kong Changcun’s injuries.

“Brother Kong, restrain yourself. Compared to Brother Huang, you’re quite lucky, aren’t you?”

Seeing that Kong Changcun’s eyes glinted icily and he was full of murderous intent, Xie Qingyun persuaded him hurriedly. They would only get themselves into bigger trouble if they provoked Chu Xun there. Huang Chi was an example. Since Chu Xun had a part of the Reality Painting, they could only restrain themselves.

Given that Kong Changcun’s injuries were quite serious and he had lost an arm, he had to take a rest for the time being.

Several hours later, most of Kong Changcun’s injuries were healed, but his lost arm was lost forever and wouldn’t grow back.

In the ship, Chu Xun and Yue Jingchou gorged themselves on the meat. The meat at the Immortal Level not only contained life essence but also tasted better than other kinds of meat.

Kong Changcun wanted to restrain himself, but when he thought that Chu Xun was eating his wing, he could not suppress his anger at all.

Zu Si walked up to him and took out a Jewel of Isolation before saying, “Brother Kong, stay calm and restrain yourself. You can rest assured that when the ancient ruins open, we will kill Chu Xun the Devil.”

“Mr. Zu, I’m willing to pay any price to kill this devil.” Kong Changcun hated Chu Xun to the bone.

Zu Si patted him on the shoulder and said, “Brother Kong, you don’t need to do anything but put up with it for the time being and stop provoking him. Then, you can leave the rest to me.”

Kong Changcun nodded with a spiteful look.

After several hours of recuperation, they set off again.

On the ship, Chu Xun and Yue Fandie exchanged their identities again. Those alien races had learned their lesson and wouldn’t make trouble at least until the ruins opened.

“Uncle, I’m sure Kong Changcun hates you very much. We can’t spare him,” Yue Fandie said.

Chu Xun nodded slightly and said, “Don’t worry. It’s impossible for him to get out of the desert alive.”

“Uncle, there’s something I still can’t figure out.”

“Go ahead.”

“Xie Qingyun wanted to explore the ancient ruins, and he could have gone straight to the people of the Assembly of Immortals. Why did he bring other races with him? Isn’t he letting others gain the benefits for free?”

Chu Xun shook his head and said, “I don’t know why either, but there must be some kind of deal between them that tied them together.”

Yue Jingchou was about to say something when he heard a loud explosion coming from below. Then, he saw yellow sand shooting into the air.
