The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 383 Playing Tricks in the Dark!

Another Winged died.

Jiang Tao and his men grinned happily.

The Wingeds’ eye sockets almost cracked in rage.

The members of the Winged Legion that were watching the fight outside the painting looked like they were thirsty for blood as their eyes all turned red.

The eye corner of the elderly Winged twitched violently, and so did his face.

There was originally no doubt who would be the winner between the powerful Wingeds and weak human beings.

However, to everyone’s surprise, four Wingeds had been killed in the fight while no one was injured on human beings’ side.

“Let go of me. I must kill these lowly creatures.”

In the Reality Painting, a Winged that was covered in blood roared frantically while his companion tried his best to stop him.

“Calm down. There’s something odd about their weapons. We should avoid confronting them head-on. I reckon that they must have used an external force, and I don’t think it can last long. So let’s not tangle with them for the time being.”

“Let him go, avian-folk. Come over here, I dare you. I’ll treat you to peanuts.” Jiang Tao shouted arrogantly.

The Wingeds all glared at Jiang Tao angrily. They wanted nothing more than to kill him and his men.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao rushed over with a gun in his hand and shouted while running. “Hey, avian-folk, don’t run away if you have guts.”

The Wingeds spread their wings and flew high in the sky after seeing this, opening the gap between them.

“Damn it! If I had known this, I would have taken a sniper rifle and shot them all.” Jiang Tao yelled in a resentful tone.

As he and his men couldn’t fly, they couldn’t catch up with the Wingeds. As a result, they could only circle around in the Reality Painting, again and again, chasing after the Wingeds.

However, the people outside the painting had a different view. They were petrified and shocked to see that the Winged race, which was known as the strongest one among the Lost Races, was actually driven around by a few humans. This was so strange in their eyes.

“Captain, these avian-folks are flying so fast. We can’t catch up to them at all,” a soldier said with his face full of depression.

Jiang Tao was also out of breath because of running.

“Damn it, stop chasing,” Jiang Tao said as he climbed up a hill and looked at the Wingeds in the distance. He then continued to curse, “Come over here, you damn avian-folks, if you have guts. I’ll teach you how to be a good bird.”

“You lowly humans, don’t be so arrogant. There’ll be a time when you cry and beg us for mercy.” The Wingeds were so depressed that they glared at Jiang Tao and his men with anger in their eyes.

“Stop bragging! Come over here, I dare you. I’ll cut your chicken wings off.” A human soldier ridiculed.

“You are just a bunch of weak chickens, and we should call you the race of Chickens in the future. That’s more like who you are.”

“You chickens, get over here. I should have used a slingshot instead of a gun if I had known that you were so weak.”

Jiang Tao and his men mocked one after another.

The Wingeds fumed with anger and couldn’t help but tremble.

However, since they had suffered a great loss from Jiang Tao and his men and were afraid of the guns in their hands, they would never go over no matter how hard they taunted them.

“Captain, these chickens are all cowards. They don’t come here, and we can’t catch up with them. What should we do now?”

The situation gave Jiang Tao a headache. He was okay with fighting on the battlefield, but he was really not good at scheming. The previous ploys he played were learned from Chu Xun so as to humiliate the Winged race.

It was easy to kill someone but hard to shatter someone from inside, and to do that, one had to slap him hard in the face and let him lose face.

People all over the world were watching the fight, and Chu Xun humiliated the Wingeds because he wanted the world to know that Huaxia soldiers were not doormats.

He made an example of the Winged race.

Outside the painting, Chu Xun leaned lazily against the hood of a car while looking at the elderly Winged. “Are they the experts each of whom could defeat a hundred opponents that you referred to before?” he asked in a mocking tone.

The elderly Winged felt terrible upon hearing the words. His wings fluttered, and his face darkened. He didn’t even look at Chu Xun.

Chu Xun felt bored and turned to look at the Reality Painting. His eyes flickered, looking like he was thinking about something.

Jiang Tao seemed to be helpless about the situation in the painting.

“All of you, step back.”

“Captain, what are you going to do?”

Jiang Tao stood up and walked toward the Wingeds with his gun in hand.

“You chickens, now I’m by myself, and I want to fight you all. Do you dare to accept my challenge?”

There were only six Wingeds left, and they glanced at each other with confusion when Jiang Tao walked to them.

“This is a good opportunity to kill him,” a Winged said.

“No, these humans are very crafty. They definitely have some tricks up their sleeves,” another Winged said.

“If you’re scared, you can stand away, and I’ll deal with him.”

As soon as the Winged finished speaking, he flew in Jiang Tao’s direction at a fast speed.

“You lowly creature, go to hell!” He roared, flapping his wings, and his feathers that covered the sky all shot toward Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao laughed and replied, “You’re the only one in your race who has guts.” Then, he fired at the Winged.

The bullets were knocked down by the feathers, but the Reincarnation Lines shot out and pierced through the wings and body of the Winged. Blood gushed out from the wounds all over his body.

The Winged roared loudly and flapped his wings, charging at Jiang Tao. His fancy gold sword shone brightly as he stabbed at Jiang Tao. He was out of his mind at the moment and looked like he would kill Jiang Tao even at the cost of his own life.

Jiang Tao sneered and threw a grenade at him.

Seeing this, the Winged flapped his wings more quickly, trying to dodge. However, his wings were full of bloody holes, and he could barely keep his balance as he flew. Thus, it was hard for him to dodge the grenade. His eyes turned red, and he stabbed the grenade with the tip of his sword. The grenade exploded, and the violent flames threw him away.

Jiang Tao ran after him and fired at him crazily. Bullets rained down on him, causing his head to explode.

Once again, a member of the Winged race died.

“Ahh...” In the distance, the other Wingeds roared angrily, and their eyes all turned red.

As an iron-willed soldier, Jiang Tao did not think what he did was cruel. He believed that if he hadn’t gained Chu Xun’s help, those Wingeds would have killed them easily without hesitation.

There was an uproar outside the painting. No one could have imagined that this battle would have undergone such a dramatic reversal from the very start.

Some of the powerful Wingeds were killed by the weak humans.

The rest of the Winged Legion almost went mad. They all growled in rage and begged the elderly Winged to let them enter the Reality Painting so as to kill Jiang Tao and his men.

The elderly Winged’s face twitched with anger, and his eyes became terrifyingly chilling. He stared at the Reality Painting fixedly.

The next moment, he secretly flicked his finger, and a streak of white light disappeared into the Reality Painting.

The people watching the fight let out a cry of surprise.

The scene in the Reality Painting changed. The hills were suddenly covered by trees, so in the blink of an eye, the place was turned into a dense forest.

Jiang Tao was also surprised to see that big trees with dense branches suddenly appeared around him and blocked his sight.

“Captain,” his men shouted worriedly in the distance.

They were separated from their captain by the big trees that suddenly appeared in the place.

Several soldiers ran in Jiang Tao’s direction while the latter ran toward them.

Because they were in the painting, they didn’t notice that the dense forest was slowly rotating, which caused the direction they were running in to change as well. As a result, they, who were running facing each other at the beginning, started running back to each other and drew further apart without themselves knowing it.

The remaining five Wingeds were overjoyed when seeing that the dense forest blocked their opponents’ sight. Flying high in the sky, they could see clearly what was happening down there.

Outside the painting, the elderly Winged wore a faint smile as he looked around and explained. “The Reality Painting is a great treasure of our race. It is of unpredictable transformations, so it’s not surprising that such a change took place.”

After saying this, he looked at Chu Xun, the only one who he thought could find out what he had done. He was not sure if Chu Xun had noticed it or not.

Chu Xun shot the elderly Winged a mocking glance and whispered with a faint sneer, “You despicable old bird, I saw through your trick, but it’s ok because what you did couldn’t change the result of the fight.”

The elderly Winged’s heart shivered. He knew that Chu Xun had discovered what he had done. His expression kept changing. He didn’t understand why Chu Xun was still so calm after finding out what he had done.

A feeling of unease rose in the elderly Winged’s heart.

Chu Xun shifted his gaze from the elderly Winged to the Reality Painting.

In the dense forest in the painting, Jiang Tao wanted to join his men but was drawing further and further from them.

The Wingeds spread their wings in the sky and happened to discover Jiang Tao, who was alone.

Swoosh!

A dazzling ray of sword radiance slashed at Jiang Tao. The fierce Sword Qi whooshed as it tore through the air.

Jiang Tao subconsciously looked up and saw a dazzling ray of gold light, which slashed at him quickly. At this moment, a streak of purple light burst out from his body and shattered the sword radiance.

He raised his gun and fired it in one breath.

The Winged in the sky screamed. His wings were riddled with holes, and he fell rolling down from the sky.

Jiang Tao pulled the trigger desperately, and bullets rained down on the Winged.

That Winged crushed the treetop, causing the leaves to fall. With a bang, he fell heavily onto the ground, stirring up a large amount of dust. He died on the spot.

“Wanted to sneak up on me? Humph!” Jiang Tao sneered disdainfully.

The other Wingeds spread their wings and flew away in a panic. They realized that they made a mistake. Jiang Tao didn’t need to activate the purple light on his body; the light would protect him automatically.

When Jiang Tao’s men heard the gunshot coming from behind, they stopped for a moment, then turned around and ran backward.

The world outside the painting was in an uproar.

They had thought that the situation would be unfavorable to human soldiers for the dense forest blocked their sight, and no one had expected to see them turn the tide.

The members of the Winged Legion howled in rage.

The face of the elderly Winged was distorted with anger. His eyes were sinister and terrifying.

“Do you really think that your little tricks could help these avian-folks win the battle?” Chu Xun jeered.

The elderly Winged looked at Chu Xun sinisterly, his killing intent surging.

“Be more patient. If you want to kill me, you’ll have to wait until the battle in the painting is over,” Chu Xun said indifferently.

The elderly Winged snorted coldly, looking at the Reality Painting with a fierce expression. Then, he flicked his finger again, and a streak of white light shot toward the painting.

Just as the white light was about to enter the painting, a streak of purple light suddenly appeared and shattered the white light.

“Old bird, I turned a blind eye to your little tricks before, but if you dare to play tricks again, I’ll kill all of you.” Chu Xun growled. He was so angry that the elderly Winged tried to cheat on the fight under his nose again and again. “Did he really think that I was so good-natured?”

The elderly Winged’s face blushed. He felt very embarrassed and furious because Chu Xun discovered his tricks and spoke it out in front of so many people.

“How shameless the Wingeds are! The Reality Painting is their treasure, and it’s very favorable to them to fight in it. Yet, they still wanted to cheat. How shameless!”

“What the hell is this? Though they look like humans, they are mutated creatures. Who knows if they are humans or animals? Maybe they are the hybrids of humans and birds.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Don’t insult us human beings.”

The warriors who were watching the fight whispered to each other, and those who were watching the live broadcast of the fight also cursed.

The elderly Winged’s lungs were about to explode from anger, so much so that he was gnashing his teeth in hatred. Behind him, the members of the Winged Legion looked at the crowd with surging killing intent.

The Wingeds all lost face this time. No matter they won or lost in this battle, they would remain a topic of gossip of people for a long time.
