The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 307 Don’t Chase after a Defeated Enemy

Boom!

The lightning exploded, bright and dazzling, and something was punched away by Chu Xun.

“Brother Liu, what is it?” Yan Wushuang asked and unsheathed his long sword.

Chu Xun shook his head and looked serious. The force that his fist collided with was very strong. All of a sudden, his eyes suddenly became focused, and he took something off his fist.

His action attracted Yan Wushuang’s and others’ attention. They found that it was a scale as large as the fist of a child. The scale was as hard as iron with lightning flowing on it.

“Is it a snake?” When they saw the scale, they immediately thought of snake.

“Looks like it is,” Chu Xun replied. He felt that the thing his fist punched was very slippery, which caused part of his attacking force to be counteracted.

“No matter what it is, be careful, guys.” Chu Xun reminded them again.

The few of them stayed alert as they walked forward.

Sizzle!

A dazzling bolt of lightning came at them, causing the other bolts of lightning to flash violently. The lightning was so dazzling that they could barely keep their eyes open.

“Watch out.” Chu Xun shouted. Yan Wushuang and the others immediately displayed layers of protective aura.

Chu Xun raised his Thundering Hammer and smashed it forward.

Boom!

Lightning kept flashing, and electric arcs exploded one after another, making crackling sound, lighting up the ground in front of them brightly.

Swoosh!

Chu Xun rushed forward with the Thundering Hammer. A creature had been thrown away by his blow just now.

The lightning was so glaring that he almost couldn’t see anything.

In front of him, lightning kept flashing, and thundering and booming sounds kept echoing. They didn’t stop until a long while later.

“Brother Yan, come here quickly.”

On hearing Chu Xun’s voice, they came up to him.

“What’s this?” Everyone present was shocked. Beside Chu Xun’s feet was a several-meter long monster which was covered in scales and had a big mouth and sharp fangs.

“An electric eel,” Chu Xun said. “It was this eel that had bitten off the arm of the man from the Chamber of Purple Garments.”

“How could there be an electric eel here?” Yan Wushuang was shocked. “Isn’t it an aquatic creature?” he wondered to himself.

Chu Xun shook his head while saying, “I don’t know. Anyway, this place is very strange. Be careful, guys.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xun threw the Thundering Hammer into the lightning field.

Bang!

With a dull crashing sound, glaring lightning emitted from the area.

The several of them followed Chu Xun into that place, only to see that a palm-sized strange-looking fish was smashed into pieces by the Thundering Hammer and transformed into small lightning elements before dissipating.

Yan Wushuang and the others didn’t know what it was, while there was a look of joy in the eyes of Chu Xun and the purple-haired woman.

It was an electrofish, made of lightning elements, with weak attacking power. It only lived in the lightning field and was rare.

Since the electrofish was made of lightning elements, it would yield amazing effect if one used it to refine his body.

Chu Xun felt a little regret that he hit the fish too hard.

Swoosh!

The purple-haired woman suddenly moved and disappeared into the lightning field where the lightning suddenly became violent.

Chu Xun was not worried because he knew that the purple-haired woman had as many skills as he did.

As expected, the woman came back a while later. As she spread out her delicate jade-like hand, there was a palm-sized, transparent electrofish trapped in her palm.

“What a strange little fish!” Yan Wushuang exclaimed. The electrofish was transparent all over, and he could see those swimming lightning elements in its body.

“Brother Yan, this is an electrofish. Don’t let it go when you see one,” Chu Xun said.

Seeing that Yan Wushuang was puzzled, Chu Xun told him what an electrofish could be used to do.

“It could strengthen our body and soul.” Yan Wushuang was amazed, and there was an eager look in his eyes. Except for those who practiced the Hard Cross Technique, warriors’ bodies and souls were their weakest parts. Besides, there weren’t many martial skills on earth, and the skills that could improve warriors’ bodies and souls were very rare. If the electrofish could help them in terms of this, it would greatly improve their fighting power.

Chu Xun’s body was invincible and his soul was very strong, so his words that the electrofish could strengthen one’s body and soul were quite convincing.

After that, Yan Wushuang and the others looked around for the electrofishes with their eyes wide open. However, they looked more like being thieves.

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, Yan Wushuang rushed forward. He found an electrofish and reached out his hands for it with his palms full of Internal Breath.

“I’ve caught it.” Yan Wushuang was overjoyed.

However, soon, his smile froze on his face. The electrofish in his hand transformed into small lightning elements and slipped out of his hand, and then, those elements gathered together and became an electrofish. With a whooshing sound, the fish disappeared into the lightning field as fast as lightning.

Yan Wushuang was dumbfounded.

“Brother Yan, the electrofishes are made of lightning elements. Though their attacking force is not strong, they are good at escaping. If you catch one such fish, you must be careful, and you’d better trap it with your Internal Breath and put it into a jade box,” Chu Xun said with a smile.

Yan Wushuang’s face was full of depression, and he sighed and felt pity.

“It’s okay. There are some electrofishes here. The point is others don’t know their use, so we’ll gain a lot this time.” Chu Xun comforted him.

Yan Wushuang kept up his spirits and thought to himself, “His words make sense. Others don’t know these fishes’ usage, and only we know.” He was very grateful to Chu Xun and thought him a worthwhile friend, for Chu Xun told him such an important secret without reservation and was indeed a man of noble character.

If Chu Xun knew what Yan Wushuang was thinking, he would definitely be blushed. Actually, he knew very well that there would only be more electrofishes in the inner area and he couldn’t catch all of them on his own, since there were even electrofishes in this outer area.

The several of them glanced around with their eyes wide open, which made them look like bad people.

Swoosh!

A black shadow suddenly dived at the Thundering Hammer in Chu Xun’s hand.

Chu Xun was furious. The Thundering Hammer changed its track to avoid the shadow and smashed down hard.

Clang!

There was a dull sound of metal on metal, and a huge tail retreated.

It was the cyan-scaled python they had encountered before. The python hissed its tongue at Chu Xun with a cold look, then turned around and disappeared into the lightning field.

Swoosh!

At the same time, a bright ray of sword radiance slashed toward the cyan-scaled python.

Clang!

There was another dull crashing sound. It sounded like the sword radiance had hit the python, but no one knew what had happened exactly, for the place was full of lightning and they could only see the things within ten meters.

This sword move was naturally from Yan Wushuang. He stepped forward and wanted to chase the python, but was stopped by Chu Xun.

“We don’t know what’s going on here, so let’s not chase after a defeated enemy.”

“I didn’t expect these Beast Lords to be so powerful to be able to enter here,” Yan Wushuang said.

“Brother Yan, you are wrong. Beasts have stronger bodies than us human beings do. Perhaps they could use the lightning power here to refine their bodies, so this place fits them better.”

“Really?” Yan Wushuang was shocked. If what Chu Xun said was true, then human beings would be no match for the beasts in the lightning field.

“In short, be careful, guys,” Chu Xun said.

The group of people moved forward again.

Before they could reach far, they heard the sound of a battle coming from the front.

“It’s Zang Fengling,” the purple-haired woman said, “he and his companions are entangled with two electric eels.”

Yan Wushuang was surprised. They couldn’t see anything for the place in front of them was full of lightning, and the sound of the battle was not clear. “How did she get to know this?” Yan Wushuang wondered to himself.

“Let’s go there in secret and have a look.”

The few of them approached the place quietly.

With a cold look in his eyes, Zang Fengling stood with his companions, back to back, holding his breath while observing the surroundings.

Swoosh!

A bolt of glaring lightning struck toward them. It was an electric eel over a dozen meters long.

Zang Fengling used a black spear as his weapon, the end of which was attached to a chain. At the moment, the spear pierced toward the electric eel like an arow, emitting bright black light.

Clang!

The electric eel’s scale was as hard as iron and turned out to be very useful in defense. The spear failed to pierce through the scale, but knocked the eel away.

At the same time, another electric eel dived out of the lightning field, opened its big mouth, and bit toward a Human King of the Zang family at the lightning speed with its sharp fangs.

The electric eel appeared so suddenly and so fast that the man was caught unprepared and got bitten on the belly.

Clang!

A crisp metallic sound was heard, and to everyone’s surprise, they didn’t see a bloody scene. Instead, they saw that the electric eel’s fangs were broken off.

At the same time, the others finally realized what was going on. They immediately slashed the eel with their sabers and swords, and punched the eel with their fists.

The electric eel screeched miserably. It couldn’t resist the attacks from so many Human Kings at a time and was cut into several pieces, and its head was smashed into bits.

Chu Xun and Yan Wushuang looked at each other with a confused look.

“A secret treasure?”

“They’re wearing armor or some similar secret treasures,” Chu Xun said.

Yan Wushuang became envious on hearing the words. He guessed that the Zang family must have gained a great opportunity, otherwise, they wouldn’t have possessed so many secret treasures and pieces of armor.

“No wonder they didn’t get hurt even when they reached here,” Yan Wushuang said.

Chu Xun’s eyes lit up. He looked back at Yan Wushuang and said, “Brother Yan, why don’t we... hehe...”

Yan Wushuang’s eyes lit up as well, and he replied, “Brother Liu, do you mean that we should try to get several pieces of armor here?”

The Human Kings of the Yan family rolled their eyes and sighed inwardly, “Damn, our young master learned something bad from him.”

Chu Xun and Yan Wushuang started to make a plan. “Brother Yan, I’ll go to grab the armor, while you hold Zang Fengling off,” Chu Xun said.

“No problem!” Yan Wushuang answered.

Chu Xun took out two robes that he and Lord of Healing used to disguise themselves when they went to kill the people of the Tianlong Fort. He forgot to throw the robes away, and now they happened to be useful.

However, when Yan Wushuang saw the robes, he was amazed and lost in thought, for he found them familiar. He believed he had seen them somewhere.

Chu Xun handed one robe to Yan Wushuang, and when he saw his amazed look, his heart skipped a beat. He realized that he had been too careless. Last night, he had worn this robe when he went to the Yan family to steal the Soul-nourishing Lotus and Spirit Flux. It seemed that Yan Wushuang felt suspicious now.

“Brother Liu, this black robe looks a little familiar to me,” Yan Wushuang said in confusion.

Chu Xun smiled bitterly inside. As expected, Yan Wushuang felt suspicious now. However, Chu Xun replied in a harsh tone, “Nonsense! Don’t all black robes look same?”

“You’re right.” Yan Wushuang just felt that the robe looked familiar, but he didn’t suspect that Chu Xun was the man who had stolen the Soul-nourishing Lotus. He took the robe and put it on quickly.

Chu Xun breathed a sigh of relief secretly. It seemed that Yan Wushuang didn’t suspect him. What a narrow squeak. However, Chu Xun didn’t dare to put on the robe for fear that Yan Wushuang would recognize him as the thief.

“Be patient. Someone comes here,” at this critical moment, the purple-haired woman said.

On hearing that, Chu Xun immediately grabbed the robe from Yan Wushuang’s hand and threw it into his Storage Ring. He whispered, “Somebody is coming here. Let’s hide for a moment first.”

“Thank you!” Chu Xun secretly transmitted a voice message to the purple-haired woman.

“I didn’t expect that you would be so stupid sometimes,” the purple-haired woman said.

Chu Xun gave her a bitter smile. “Yes, I’m quite stupid,” he thought.

He could hear vague footsteps approaching them.

It was the people of the Chamber of Purple Garments.

Pan Chengfeng saw Zang Fengling and his companions, who were prepared in battle array, as well.

“Brother Zang, what are you doing?”

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Zang Fengling charging at him with a brightly-shining black spear.

Pan Chengfeng was enraged and was about to question him when he heard a clang, which made his ears buzz.

He turned his head and saw a several-meter-long electric eel which was surrounded by lightning roll on the ground.

Pan Chengfeng was not stupid; he immediately understood what was going on. He turned around and threw out a punch, causing a light chain in the air.

At the same time, his underlings also made their move. The electric eel failed to dodge the attacks and was smashed into pieces.
