The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 243 Jiu You’s Action!

Chai Yuan’s chilling words echoed in the air, and Wu Ming’s face turned grim. He cursed inwardly, “Idiot! The consequence will be really serious if you irritate Chu Xun.”

People around all looked at Chu Xun to see how he would react.

Chu the Devil was decisive and cruel, while the Tianlong Fort was a famous, powerful force in the Martial Tao World. It was said that the cultivation of the sect master, Long Feiyang, was unfathomable.

“To strengthen the Fire Dragon Palace, let’s start with the Tianlong Fort,” Chu Xun said faintly.

Others all looked puzzled and didn’t understand what Chu Xun meant, except Yan Chong and his companions. They knew that Chu Xun was targeting at the treasure house of the Tianlong Fort.

“Chu Xun, you will regret it.” Another Human King of the Tianlong Fort stared at Chu Xun with cold eyes and continued, “No matter what kind of a devil or a cruel man you are, you’re a good-for-nothing in front of our First Presbyter. If you break off your arms and legs yourself and kneel down to repent, I will beg our First Presbyter to let you die in a decent manner.”

“Do you want to die?” Chu Xun asked calmly.

The people around had a strange look in their eyes, and they thought, “Chu the Devil is as overbearing as he was said to be.”

“I’ll go kill them,” a childish voice echoed.

Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded. It was hard for them to believe that the little girl, who looked like a porcelain doll, would say this.

Except for Chu Xun, Lei Bao, and Winsome Widow, the others all had a strange look in their eyes.

Sure enough, those who were with Chu Xun could not be judged according to common sense. The little girl was so delicate and pretty, yet what she said was so cruel.

“Chu Xun, do you really want to taste unbearable pain?” the Human King’s words were full of violence.

Chu Xun said indifferently, “The Tianlong Fort is really overbearing.”

The Human King snorted with a look of disdain and said, “The world has changed. Warriors are destined to rise. The strong prey on the weak, and the one who could adapt to it would survive. If you can overpower our Tianlong Fort and force us to bow our head, we won’t be as talkative as you.”

“The strong prey on the weak, and the one who could adapt to it would survive? You really gave me a reason to kill you. How ridiculous that I had wanted to be merciful to you! Since this is the case, I’ll let you guys from the Tianlong Fort bow your head.”

As soon as Chu Xun finished his words, the aura of Lei Bao and others soared up, and they were ready for a fight.

“Leave it to me,” said Jiu You in a childish voice.

The next moment, everyone opened their mouth wide in shock as if they had seen a ghost.

Swoosh!

A small figure charged at Chai Yuan with a terrifying aura, her purple hair fluttering wildly in the air.

Chai Yuan was dumbfounded. While he was in a trance, Jiu You’s white and tender fists had already reached him. He tried to defend himself subconsciously.

Boom!

There was a dull sound of the collision, and the blast caused by the collision overwhelmed the place, visible to the naked eye.

Thump! Thump!...

Chai Yuan fell backward a hundred steps carrying the young man, and the floor under his feet cracked, which showed that he was bearing a heavy force.

Everyone present was shocked, and their hair stood on end.

“Is she only a child? A child in the Human King Realm?”

“Fu*k, with the mutation of the earth, even human beings also underwent mutation?”

The people present couldn’t believe that it was real.

A cold light flashed in Chai Yuan’s eyes. With a look of amazement, he turned around and handed the young man to a half Human King.

His face became more and more dignified.

“Are you ready?” Jiu You’s voice sounded childish, but no one dared to underestimate her at this time.

Swoosh!

There was a sharp sound of breaking through the air when Jiu You rushed forward in a strange way and at a lightning speed. Her fair feet were covered by colorful light.

All of a sudden, Chai Yuan’s aura soared as well, and he threw out a punch.

Jiu You’s delicate feet collided with Chai Yuan’s fist. Instantly, a terrifying wave of power was produced.

Boom!

Chai Yuan’s body suddenly lowered, and the ground under his feet exploded. His lower legs were buried under the ground.

Jiu You rolled in the air and kicked Chai Yuan on the chest with the other foot. Chai Yuan raised his arms to defend himself.

Boom!

The ground exploded, and the soil and stones were sent flying in all directions. Chai Yuan was thrown backward by the kick, and because his lower legs were buried underground, he caused a half meter deep and about a hundred meters long ditch on the ground.

“You are too weak. You are not qualified to challenge Chu Xun.” Jiu You’s beautiful face was full of contempt.

Chai Yuan’s face turned flushed. He was knocked back twice by a little girl, which was a shame to him.

Nevertheless, he was also very helpless. Jiu You was so powerful that Chai Yuan felt like he was fighting a wild beast instead of a little girl.

Jiu You clenched her fists and charged at Chai Yuan again.

With rage in his heart, Chai Yuan dived at Jiu You, his aura surging quickly.

The two of them crashed into each other again, causing booming sounds and sending sand and stones flying in the air. The violent blast overwhelmed the place, leaving a mess there.

As an experienced Human King, Chai Yuan had profound cultivation and solid foundation. Even though Jiu You had the physical quality of a demonic beast, it was difficult for her to win in a short period of time.

Yan Chong looked stunned. When he was in the Fire Dragon Palace, he didn’t believe it when Lei Bao told him that Jiu You had beaten him and Winsome Widow badly. Now, he fully believed that it was true.

Lei Bao took a step forward and looked at the Human King, saying, “You, come here and accept your death.”

The Human King’s eyes were burning with anger. He sneered and said, “You’re so arrogant. I, Wen Zhong, have been an overlord for more than 200 years. You don’t deserve to challenge me.”

Lei Bao didn’t want to waste any more time. He stepped forward to the Human King and punched toward him with his palm surrounded by lightning.

Wen Zhong’s eyes were filled with killing desire. He raised his palm, and his Internal Breath surged as he slapped toward Lei Bao.

Boom!

There was a terrible explosion, and a storm swept over. The other huge stone lion in front of the hotel entrance was destroyed instantly, and broken stones were sent flying in all directions. The people around were scared and stepped back quickly.

Bang! Bang!...

The two of them fought head-on without any fancy tricks. The fight was earth-shattering and terrifying.

Winsome Widow stepped forward and started to fight Wu Ming.

However, Yan Chong dashed forward and punched toward Wu Ming from a distance.

Wu Ming’s face turned green. He didn’t know since when he had become so “popular”. He raised his hand, and his internal breath burst out, dissipating Yan Chong’s palm force.

Yan Chong moved closer to him and punched toward him several times in succession, causing layers of ripples and exploding sounds in the air. His blows were extremely violent.

Wu Ming was afraid of Chu Xun. He kept retreating to a thousand meters away.

Boom!

As the palms of the two collided together, horrible ripples surged. Yan Chong’s face changed slightly, and his opponent’s palm strength suddenly grew a little stronger, which threw him backward.

Wu Ming was forced to retreat. He turned around to flee as fast as lightning without looking back, as if there were wind under his feet.

This scene shocked everyone present.

“This guy is trying to flee again.”

“Where are you going?” Yan Chong was furious. He realized that he had been fooled by Wu Ming, who had taken the opportunity to escape.

Unfortunately, he had missed the chance. They were well-matched in strength. However, Wu Ming intended to flee, and it was too late for Yan Chong to chase. He was so angry that he almost spat out blood because, in a sense, he helped Wu Ming flee by throwing him away.

The rest of the people from the Tianlong Fort were also dumbfounded. None of them had expected Wu Ming to run away.

“Wu Ming, you coward, I’m ashamed to be your companion.” Seeing this scene, Chai Yuan was so angry and roared.

“Wu Ming, after I go back, I’ll report this to the First Presbyter. I’m sure that he will pull out your tendons and skin you.” Wen Zhong was also so angry that his stomach ached.

Wu Ming, who had already run a thousand meters away, showed a look of contempt. “A group of idiots. You don’t know how terrifying Chu the Devil is, and you are still bragging. You are really courting death.”

The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth lifted slightly, and he couldn’t help but smile. The next moment, his figure disappeared from where he was standing just now.

Wu Ming rushed all the way, and the air crackled because of the friction. He couldn’t help feeling proud. Once again, he managed to flee from Chu Xun. He was destined to survive.

“Escaper Wu, you ran really fast.”

Suddenly, a mocking voice sounded in Wu Ming’s ear, which scared him so much that he almost fell down. He turned his head and saw Chu Xun running beside him with one hand behind his back, as if he were strolling in a courtyard.

“Oh, my God...” Wu Ming was so scared that he thought of his mother, who had died many years ago. How he wished that he had two more legs!

Wu Ming continued running with all his might. His speed increased quickly, which was two times faster than the speed of sound-breaking.

“Escaper Wu, do you want to stop and have a rest?”

Chu Xun’s voice echoed in his ear. No matter how hard he tried to run, he couldn’t get rid of Chu Xun.

Wu Ming was scared out of his wits. He knew that he could not run away.

All of a sudden, Wu Ming punched toward Chu Xun, who was running beside him, without even looking at him.

Boom!

The ground exploded, and the soil was sent flying. The punch left a big hole on the ground.

“Escaper Wu, is there a grudge between you and the ground?”

Wu Ming almost cried out. Chu Xun was obviously on his left side just now. When did he run to his right side? Because of this, his punch failed to land on Chu Xun.

Wu Ming punched to his right side. The palm wind was raging, but unfortunately, it missed its target again, leaving a big pit on the ground.

“Immortal Chu, please spare my life. I promise I won’t go hard with you anymore.” Wu Ming thought that no other Human King had ever been as miserable as him.

“Stop running. Let’s have a talk,” Chu Xun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming ran even faster, looking like he was flying close to the ground. He did not dodge when meeting the rocks on the road and crushed them.

“You like to run, don’t you?” Chu Xun took out his Reincarnation Whip.

Slap!

The Reincarnation Whip swept forward and hit Wu Ming on the butt.

Wu Ming screamed in pain. He covered his buttocks with both hands and ran wildly without even protecting his head.

Slap!

The Reincarnation Whip hit the back of his head.

Wu Ming cried out in pain, staggered, and almost fell down.

Slap!

He got whipped on the buttocks again.

Slap! Slap!...

Wu Ming cried out bitterly in pain as he ran. He could not protect his butt and head at the same time. In the end, he used one hand to protect the back of his head and the other to protect his butt.

“Faster.” Chu Xun lifted the Reincarnation Whip as if he were chasing an ox, and there were crackling sounds.

“Immortal Chu, Master Chu... Stop beating me! I surrender...” Wu Ming stopped running, and he decided not to run even if Chu Xun urged him with the whip.

Every whip didn’t hurt him, but it was so painful that his heart was trembling.

“Don’t you want to run?” Chu Xun teased.

Wu Ming felt so wronged that he wanted to cry. As a Human King, he was forced to run by a whip as if he were an animal. In fact, he felt that he was more miserable than an animal.

He shook his head resolutely, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, “I won’t run anymore. I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of you, Immortal Chu, since I’m so slow.”

“You’ve offended me many times. Do you think that I should kill you?” Chu Xun asked.

Plop!

Wu Ming suddenly knelt down and said, “Immortal Chu, please spare my life. I’m a bastard with a big mouth. I was talking nonsense. I’m blind. Please don’t kill me. I’m willing to do anything for you.”

His words shocked Chu Xun.

He recalled when he first saw him, Wu Ming, as a Human King, came to him in a domineering manner, and his aura was so strong. However, now...

“How did you make it to the Human King Realm?” Chu Xun was curious. He couldn’t understand how such a coward had become a Human King.

“Well, I was just a weak warrior, and because...”

After Chu Xun heard Wu Ming’s words, his expression became even weirder. It turned out that when Wu Ming was in the Acquired Realm, he swallowed a seed coincidentally, and thus became a Human King.

Chu Xun thought that the seed that Wu Ming had swallowed was a mutant one and was possibly the seed of a rare herb, just like the one Hong Ling had swallowed. She had become a fifth-grade Grandmaster from a normal person after eating the mutant seed of the Feathered Dragon Flower.

After heaven and earth changed, the whole world became strange, full of wonders.

Some people had wings grown out from their ribs after eating the mutant flower seeds, while some people gained amazing strength, which could be compared to that of an elephant, after swallowing some mysterious herbs. Some people’s cultivation increased greatly after they ate some strange fruits.

Chu Xun did not expect Wu Ming to have such great luck.

“Immortal Chu, please spare my life. As long as you don’t kill me, I can take you to that valley, at the entrance of which I picked my mace. There are a lot of treasures. Unfortunately, there is a strange force preventing me from going inside even though I’m a Human King.”

The words triggered Chu Xun’s interest. He had obtained Wu Ming’s mace, which was a lower-grade immortal weapon. According to Wu Ming’s words, the valley should be an ancient relic.

“Get up!” Chu Xun said. He had a plan in his mind.

“Thank you, Immortal Chu, for not killing me. Thank you...” Wu Ming bowed to Chu Xun humbly, showing no dignity of a Human King.

In fact, Chu Xun did not despise Wu Ming’s humble attitude, because he thought, compared with life, dignity was not so important.

“I’ll take a drop of your blood,” Chu Xun said.

Wu Ming was puzzled, but he still hurriedly forced a drop of blood out of his fingertips.

Chu Xun drew a magic signet, and the Soul-devoured Contract was completed.

After knowing the effect and power of the Soul-devoured Contract, Wu Ming was scared out of his wits.

“Don’t worry. As long as you don’t have any ulterior motives toward me, the Soul-devoured Contract won’t be activated.”

Since he was at the mercy of Chu Xun, Wu Ming acted even more respectfully to him. He now was as obsequious as those eunuchs in the ancient palace.
