The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 417 Attack and Defense!

Printed on the Dragon’s Wrath were the words, “The spirit of an ancient vicious beast, Tao Wu.”

The Tao Wu raised its head and roared. Its power was monstrous, and the roar was earth-shattering.

“Plop!”

In the distance, Jin Wei and Jin Cheng were going ballistic, yet their veins were trembling. They knelt down on the ground, shivering. This was due to the suppression of the veins.

Tao Wu was an ancient beast. Although it was just a soul now, still it was not something that they could fight against.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor was shocked. Golden rays of light had activated the small golden bell, and golden light flowed down to protect him. With a flip of his hand, he took out a small golden hammer and fiercely struck the small golden bell.

Ding!

Golden ripples that were visible to the naked eye surged toward Tao Wu’s soul.

Roar!

Tao Wu roared, and the sound waves surged, offsetting the golden ripples that approached Tao Wu.

It suddenly pounced forward with its enormous claws striking towards the Zang Family’s Elder Ancestor.

Boom!

The golden light that protected the Zang Family’s Elder Ancestor suddenly circulated and burst out the bright light, knocking Tao Wu back.

Roar!

Tao Wu went into a rage and became extremely violent. Its entire body surged with ferocious might as it once again pounced forward. Its claw struck towards the little bell floating above the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor’s head.

Clang!

The small golden bell erupted with golden light, surging layer by layer. It was deafening and made the people around feel as if their heads were being struck by a hammer. They couldn’t help crying out in pain.

The shock waves sent Tao Wu flying, even the soul became much thinner. Since it didn’t have a physical body, and that it was just a baby, so it was no match for the small bell.

“Come back!” Chu Xun said.

Tao Wu let out a resentful roar, and then turned into a light shadow and jumped into the Dragon’s Wrath.

Among all the weapons, the saber was the fiercest.

Chu Xun held the saber with one hand, and the mighty Hong Meng Immortal Qi poured into the Dragon’s Wrath. The purple-golden light on the blade was bright and dazzling, emanating cold Qi.

Swoosh!

Chu Xun rushed up to the sky and chopped down on the small golden bell.

Clang!

Sparks flew in all directions, and a terrible force spread out. The surrounding rocks were all crushed into powder, and the ground collapsed.

Crack crack...!

Cracks appeared on the surface of the golden light that protected the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor, showing signs of exploding.

For the first time, a look of horror appeared on the elder’s face. He raised his hand and fiercely struck his chest. A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth onto the little bell above his head. And then he struck his chest again and another mouthful of fresh blood sprayed onto the bell in his hand. This was all the essence and blood in his heart.

Ding!

The blood was absorbed by the small golden bell, and in an instant, the golden light was incomparably bright. It was like a shining little sun, emitting violent energy.

The bell hammer in his hand was also buzzing and trembling. The golden light was dazzling, emanating a powerful force.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor looked at Chu Xun viciously. He waved the bell hammer in his hand and threw it out.

Chu Xun’s face changed slightly, and his figure disappeared. When he reappeared again, he was more than a kilometer away.

Boom!

The bell hammer exploded in the wind and hit the spot where Chu Xun had been standing before. In an instant, the ground burst open, and scary cracks spread.

“Ah...”

Bloodcurdling screams burst out. A few disciples of the Zang and Yan families were torn into pieces by the golden light of the bell hammer.

Chu Xun waved his saber and the Dragon’s Wrath made a soft cry. A huge purple-golden saber that was more than 100 feet long cut towards the bell hammer on the ground.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor waved his hand, and the bell hammer turned into a golden light and flew back into his hand.

Boom!

The huge saber shadow, which was more than 100 feet long, left a huge gully of hundreds of meters on the ground.

Chu Xun’s eyes flashed slightly. What a terrifying Sacred Relic. It could both defend and attack.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor grinned hideously and threw out the bell hammer again with a mocking expression.

Chu Xun activated the Dragon’s Wrath, but he suddenly dodged again.

Boom!

A giant hammer fell from the sky like a mountain, leaving a big hole that was over 100 meters in diameter.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor waved his hand again and the bell flew back into his hand.

Chu Xun’s figure flashed, and like a flowing light, he rushed towards the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor. He took advantage of the opportunity and used the Dragon’s Wrath to slice downwards.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor once again took out his bell and smashed it at Chu Xun.

Clang!

Sparks flew in all directions, and the sound of the collision was deafening. The bell hammer was sent flying back and landed in the hands of the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor.

Chu Xun was also knocked back a hundred meters. The Dragon’s Wrath in his hand cried, and Chu Xun’s face changed slightly. His arm was shaking and convulsing.

The golden bell that was stained with the blood of the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor was both frighteningly powerful.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor was protected by a small golden bell, and his whole body was covered with golden light. He waved his bell hammer and continued to attack Chu Xun.

Chu Xun was a little angry. He thrust himself forward and slashed the bell hammer that was coming at him.

However, all of a sudden, the bell hammer enlarged. It was like a mountain, carrying terrifying might.

Chu Xun’s sword hit the bell hammer and his arm turned numb. The powerful force directly sent him flying hundreds of meters away. He smashed a huge stone weighing tens of thousands of kilograms into the pieces. And he was buried in the stone pieces.

Yan Guilai and the others turned pale with fright.

“Immortal Chu!”

Long Yi and Long Er gave up the opportunity to kill Jin Wei and Jin Cheng and instead, rushed toward Chu Xun with lightning speed.

“I’m fine. Quickly, kill those two animals and then go to help Yan Guilai.”

Chu Xun’s voice sounded in the minds of Long Yi and Long Er. His voice was transmitted through divine sense. The two people who were running wildly staggered and almost fell to the ground.

They then stopped, and looked at each other in shock. After a moment, they turned back to kill Jin Wei and Jin Cheng.

The others were confused. “What’s wrong with these two? Why did they turn back when they were already halfway towards helping Chu Xun?”

Boom!

The gravel exploded, and Chu Xun popped out.

“Not bad!” Chu Xun shook his numb arms. His eyes were glistening as he stared at the golden bell.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor had a serious look on his face. He was deeply shocked that he was not able to hurt Chu Xun.

“I have a question. How old are you?” Chu Xun asked.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor was slightly taken aback. “I’m over six hundred years old this year.”

Hearing this answer, Chu Xun couldn’t help but feel a sense of despise towards him. And he added, “Then you’ve really lived like a dog for hundreds of years because you haven’t even reached the Human-Immortal Realm. Have you been sleeping all those years?”

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor’s face darkened as he said, “Ignorant child, what do you know?”

Chu Xun shrugged and slightly raised the corners of his mouth. He put away the Dragon’s Wrath and took out the Ancestral Dragon’s tail bone, which looked like a big golden stick.

“Come on!” Chu Xun teased with his finger and said in a provocative tone, “I’ll show you that you’ve really lived like a dog for hundreds of years.”

“Arrogant boy!” The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor was furious. Without saying a word, he slammed the bell at Chu Xun.

Chu Xun waved his golden stick and made a batting posture.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor used the same method again. The bell hammer flew in front of Chu Xun and suddenly enlarged like a mountain.

Chu Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. The golden stick in his hand, with purple-golden ripples, slammed hard on the bell.

Dong!

It was as if thunder erupted, the sound resonated up to the heavens. Those still fighting were shaken because their cultivation was quite low, and they felt dizzy, as if they were drunk. They swayed back and forth, their eyes turning white.

The mountain-sized bell was knocked away by Chu Xun’s stick. As it landed, the ground cracked. The golden light from it was much dimmer.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor’s expression suddenly changed. With a wave of his hand, the bell hammer flew towards him.

Chu Xun’s figure flashed, and he directly cut off the route of the bell and waved the golden stick again.

Dong!

Another ear-splitting explosion broke out, and the bell was sent flying again.

The Elder Ancestor’s expression darkened as he summoned the bell hammer again. With a ‘swoosh’ sound, the bell hammer transformed into a streak of golden light that flew towards him.

Then, Chu Xun’s figure flashed again, and he blocked the way of the bell once more. With a bang, the bell was knocked away again.

“Shameless child.” The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor was furious. The golden bell above his head directly rushed toward Chu Xun.

Chu Xun turned around and pulled back his stick, nothing fancy about the move. He simply and violently pulled back the stick.

Boom!

The golden bell hovering above the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor’s head buzzed and trembled. The protective golden light on the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor’s body surged and almost exploded. He kept retreating with the golden bell on his head, and the ground cracked under his feet.

Before he could react, Chu Xun pounced on him and pulled out his stick, again, simple and direct.

Boom!

This time, with the swing of the golden bell, the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor was sent flying.

Chu Xun did not chase after the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor. Instead, he rushed towards the bell hammer and used his Ancestral Dragon tail bone to smash it into pieces.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

Chu Xun smashed the bell hammer dozens of times, as if he were hitting iron. The golden light on the surface of the bell had dimmed out.

At this moment, the bell hammer was nothing more than a golden hammer. It lost its luster, quietly lying on the ground.

Chu Xun held the bell hammer in his hand and waved it a few times, then, he put it away with satisfaction.

The Zang Family’s Elder Ancestor smashed into a 500-kilogram rock. When he stood up, he saw Chu Xun put away his bell hammer. He was shocked and angry. He tried to summon it, but the bell didn’t respond at all.

“Shameless brat, give me back my hammer.” The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

The small golden bell was mainly for defense, and the bell hammer was mainly for attack. Thus making it both offensive and defensive. Both parts were co-dependent and indispensable. It was his most powerful Sacred Relic. If he lost it, how could he fight against Chu Xun?

Chu Xun’s expression changed. Then he put away the Ancestral Dragon tail bone and took out the bell hammer that he had just put away.

“Since you want it, here it is!”

Chu Xun activated the Hong Meng Immortal Qi and pushed into the bell hammer. In an instant, thousand rays of purple-golden light was dazzled from it. It then flew out of Chu Xun’s hand and flew toward the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor tried controlling the bell hammer, but it didn’t react in the slightest. As he looked at the hammer approaching, his expression changed and he flew out sideways with a whoosh.

Chu Xun reached out and waved his hand. Before the bell fell to the ground, it bounced back and landed in his palm.

“Let’s see where you can run to.”

Chu Xun’s terrifying speed was completely unleashed, which was close to four times the speed of sound-breaking. So in the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor, then raised the bell and smashed towards him.

Seeing this scene, the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. He dodged, but he was still hit by the bell hammer. With a ‘bang’ sound, golden ripples spread out and he was sent flying.

Fortunately, the golden bell emitted a golden light to protect him, and he was not harmed. When he stood up and saw Chu Xun coming after him, he turned around and fled with a dark face.

“Old b*stard, where are you running to? Leave my golden bell behind.” Chu Xun chased after him in a hurry.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He thought, “This brat sure is shameless. He wants my Sacred Relic.”

The speed of a ninth level Human King at the Great Completion level was quite terrifying, equal to three times the speed of sound-breaking.

However, when met with a maniac like Chu Xun, he was completely hopeless. Chu Xun caught up with him in two breaths.

Dong!

Chu Xun activated the bell hammer and smashed it hard on the golden light that protected the Zang family’s Elder Ancestor, directly sending him flying. The golden light turned much dimmer.

The Zang family’s Elder Ancestor didn’t have time to think. When he saw that Chu Xun had come for him, his face turned green. He rolled on the ground and began running as soon as he got up.

However, in the blink of an eye, Chu Xun had caught up with him again. He swung the bell hammer hard and slammed down.

Dong!

An earth-shattering explosion sounded, golden ripples spreading outwards.

The Elder Ancestor was sent flying again. He was on the verge of going crazy. Chu Xun was using his Sacred Relic to kill him. He felt so painful that his face was contorted. He couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
