The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 622 I’ve Decided to Like You

In an ancient city, Liang City, the forces guarding the city had already retreated. The military took over the city and enacted all sorts of rules rapidly.

There were a lot of people on the street. Under the charge of the military, people could come out to have a look in their leisure time. When the warriors guarded the city, ordinary people might be killed on the street.

In the evening, the setting sun shone through the city buildings. The view was beautiful. It was cool. A cool breeze blew past, dispelling the heat of summer.

The business of a steamed cold noodles shop was good. A burly red-haired man was eating soft beancurd. The girl opposite was beautiful and fairy. It seemed that she was from heaven. She just ate soft beancurd and didn’t eat any barbecue on sticks.

“Excuse me, please give me ten more bowls of soft beancurd,” the red-haired man shouted.

Some guests in the shop looked over when they heard the words. Some of them opened their mouths slightly in surprise because there were dozens of empty bowls piled up beside the red-haired man.

“I’ve eaten too many delicacies. The ordinary food I ordered is also delicious.” The red-haired man grinned. The soft beancurd tasted good.

The beholders thought that he was bragging. They shook their heads and chuckled. However, they did not mock him. Under the military’s management, warriors could also enter the city. This man’s aura was fierce, and he was definitely a fierce person.

The woman put down the spoon gently. “I’m full.”

“You have eaten too little. If Chu the Devil and Yan Wushuang see how much you eat, they may think that I’m abusing you.” The red-haired young man teased, but he took the woman’s bowl and poured the soft beancurd in it into his mouth. The woman opposite him blushed and looked stunned.

The owner served a tray with ten bowls of soft beancurd. “Sir, can you pay the bill first?”

Knowing that the owner was afraid of jumping the bill, the woman covered her mouth and giggled. The red-haired young man kept silent, taking out a spiritual herb and throwing it on the table.

The owner was stunned for a moment and then was overjoyed. He knew what it was. Someone had used a herb to pay the bill in the past. He took it back to make soup for his son, and from then on, he had never gotten sick. He was grateful. If he went back to make soup for his son again, maybe his son could also become an expert of martial Tao in the future.

The owner picked up the spiritual herb and thanked him with a bow. Ordinary people also learned the etiquette of people in the Jianghu. He smiled happily and thought of his son. With a hiss, the owner paused and fell to the ground with his hand covering his neck. He smashed the table in front of him, and the ten bowls of uneaten soft beancurd fell to the ground.

The shop was silent for three seconds, and then ear-piercing screams sounded. The shop owner turned into a pool of blood. The blood spread on the ground and turned into a red arrow that pierced through a customer’s chest. Then it penetrated another customer’s throat, stringing the two together.

The street outside was also chaotic as pedestrians ran in all directions. Faint panicked screams coming from the distance could be heard and sounded helpless.

At this time, the woman sitting opposite the red-haired man took action. With a raise of her hand, a green light shot out, cutting off that bloody thread. However, the bloody thread still moved like a snake. Even it was cut off, it continued to flow and continuously killed people. Corpses turned into blood pools one after another.

“What the hell is it?” The red-haired man frowned.

At this time, he felt the movement in his clothes and took out a mobile phone. It showed that the creatures of the Blood race had no bones and could hide in other things. The most important was, they were afraid of fire!

The red-haired man clumsily typed two words, replying, “Liang City.”

“I hate it,” he muttered, but he still put his phone away.

The woman continuously took action, but she could only stop the bloody thread. She couldn’t erase it. She was a bit shocked. It couldn’t be killed and was extremely difficult to deal with.

“Let me deal with it.” The red-haired man grinned. After he raised his hand, a red flame burst out, fell on the bloody thread, and ignited it. With a sizzling sound, it turned into blood steam and dissipated in the air, accompanied by a scream.

The street was in chaos. The two of them walked out of the shop and looked into the distance. They saw that the south gate was in the blood. The scarlet blood was like a river bursting through the high buildings and rolling toward them. Countless people cried and ran in a hurry. However, they could not run faster than the spread of the blood. They were soon swallowed up.

A middle-aged man ran fast, but he tripped over the stone on the ground. With his screams, he was drowned by the sea of blood.

A woman was running with a four- or five-year-old little girl in her arms. Her face was pale, and the sea of blood spread to her back. A bloody hand reached out and dragged her in. The woman tried her best to throw the little girl out. “Run!”

The little girl rolled on the ground a few times and looked in the direction of her mother, who had been swallowed by the sea of blood. She cried and stretched out her hand. She might not understand what happened, but she knew that her mother died because of saving her.

The sea of blood surged, and the little girl’s tears couldn’t stop it.

The red-haired man moved like a streak of red light in the air, rushing towards the little girl.

Swoosh!

A white light flashed past the red-haired man and hit the ground behind the little girl with a clang. It was a jade fan that became bigger in the wind. Finally, it became as big as a wall, blocked the sea of blood, and separated the water flow.

“Fold up!”

The jade fan closed up, and a white light shone brightly. The little girl was rolled up in the jade fan and flew back. The jade fan slowly unfolded in the air, and the little girl was safe on it.

The red-haired man turned his head and looked. It was a white-robed man dressed as a scholar. He had a handsome face and wore a silk scarf, looking elegant.

“Little girl, you’re safe now,” the white-robed scholar said softly and consoled her.

The little girl didn’t understand his words. She only knew that her mother was missing, and she cried helplessly, which made the white-robed scholar feel a little helpless. It seemed that he wasn’t good at coaxing a child.

The red-haired man turned around and looked at the surging sea of blood. His red hair fluttered wildly, and his aura soared. Invisible Red Flame Qi swept over, and the temperature within a radius of hundreds of meters suddenly rose.

Boom!

Raging flames swept out from the red-haired man’s body, and the ground instantly turned into magma. The surging sea of blood rushed over, and the sizzling sounds could be heard. Rolling blood mist rose, but the sea of blood suddenly stopped and did not dare to move forward.

The white-robed scholar looked a little surprised. He looked at the red-haired man and cupped his fists gently. “Friend, you are so powerful. My surname is Zongheng, and my given name is Feiyu.”

“I’m Flaming Qilin,” the red-haired man replied after a moment of shock.

The scholar in white looked a little moved. “Are you the Flaming Qilin following Chu the Devil?”

“Yes.” Flaming Qilin smiled playfully. “As a man with a good look, you are nice.”

Zongheng Feiyu smiled. “I heard you are brave and untamable. After seeing what you did, I think you truly live up to your reputation.”

Flaming Qilin narrowed his eyes. Then he laughed out loud wildly. “I didn’t like you at first, but now I’ve decided to like you.”

“Brother Qilin, I’m not... I’m not interested in men,” Zongheng Feiyu held a jade fan in his hand and said seriously after a moment of hesitation.

The corners of Flaming Qilin’s mouth twitched. He pointed at Su Wei’er and said, “I said I appreciate your personality. Have you seen her? Have you ever seen such a beautiful woman before? Do you think I’m interested in men?”

Zongheng Feiyu looked at Su Wei’er, surprised by her otherworldly temperament and appearance. With a guilty look on his face, he cupped his fists and said, “I am sorry that I misunderstood you.”

“Let’s stop talking about nonsense. You are powerful. How about joining hands with me to kill these creatures from the Blood race who are as disgusting as snot?”

“Blood race?” Zongheng Feiyu muttered softly before he unfolded his jade fan. A sharp and cold light flowed across the surface of the fan as his temperament suddenly changed. The frail scholar was now covered in a murderous aura.
