The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 624 To Live Is Better Than to Die

“Dare you kill me?” Flaming Qilin roared out. He would rather die than allow others to control his body and do anything filthy, ruining his fame.

“It’s not easy for me to find a suitable body. Why do I kill you? If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. Otherwise, do you think you can resist my attack?” Ming Wei’s face was full of disdain. He wanted to have the body of the divine beast. As for cultivation, he didn’t think anyone on the earth could compete with him now.

After his words, Ming Wei looked at Su Wei’er in the distance. “She is your woman, right? If I become you, she won’t refuse the body, will she?”

“How dare you? I’ll tear you apart!” Flaming Qilin roared, but he was in vain. His injuries worsened, and he coughed up mouthfuls of blood.

“Stop your useless resistance. Humans are born with the destiny of pigs. Once I find the star spirit, I will slaughter all of you. From that time on, this planet will be called Blood Star.”

Flaming Qilin opened his mouth to curse, but Zongheng Feiyu next to him screamed. The blood figure named Xue He was squeezing into Zongheng Feiyu’s body, trying to take over his body.

Whoosh! Suddenly, a flame came and hit Xue He. He screamed. The half of his body that had already entered Zongheng Feiyu’s body suddenly retreated.

Zongheng Feiyu murmured. The fan that was shot down flew back and floated above his head. It shot out flames around him.

“Can it protect its owner?” Ming Wei’s eyes shined with interest. “What a good treasure. It seems its grade is high.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Wei raised his hand, and the surging blood energy burst out from his palm, blasting toward the fan in the air. With sizzling sounds, the blood mist rose, and the blood energy of Ming Wei was constantly evaporated by the fire that burst out from the fan.

Ming Wei didn’t care about it. More and more blood energy kept attacking the fan. Gradually, the light on the fan became thin and dim.

“Break it!” Ming Wei shouted in a low voice. A bloody handprint shot out from his palm and hit the fan. It put out the fire on the fan. He reached out his hand, and the fan fell into his hand.

“It is a mid-grade Divine Relic. Even such a good treasure has appeared. It seems that the earth has woken up, and the era of fighting for mastery is coming.” Ming Wei put away the fan, looked at Zongheng Feiyu with a pale face, and said disdainfully, “It’s a waste for it to be in your hands. I will exert its power completely.”

Zongheng Feiyu’s expression turned paler, and he felt guilty. The fan was the most important Sacred Relic of his family. He didn’t expect it to be lost in his hands.

“OK, there’s not much time left. It’s time to begin.” Ming Wei said to Xue He. They were about to start to possess the bodies of Zongheng Feiyu and Flaming Qilin.

“Please wait for a moment.” Flaming Qilin suddenly spoke up. “You are the Saint Son of the Blood race, right?”

Ming Wei sneered. “You can’t save your life by wasting your time.”

“You misunderstood what I mean. Since you are known as Saint Son, you can find a stronger body that fits your identity. Do you know there is a person in this world who is known to have an invincible body?”

Ming Wei was surprised and then laughed. “Are you kidding? Humans are good at bragging. Even those Saint Sons of the Assembly of Immortals don’t dare to say that their bodies are invincible.”

“All the people in the world know that his body is indeed invincible. At least his body is a hundred times stronger than mine.”

“Are you sure?” Ming Wei revealed a look of interest. “Who is he?”

“His name is Chu Xun, known as Chu the Devil.”

Ming Wei looked at him and said, “Chu the Devil? You think my race has appeared not long, so you make up a name to deceive us, right?”

“You can ask other people about him. Who in this world doesn’t know the name Chu the Devil?”

Ming Wei stared at Flaming Qilin and said in a fierce voice, “If you lie to me, I will make you wish you were dead.”

“OK. If he is truly a hundred times stronger than me, can you possess his body and let us off?”

“I agree with you.” Ming Wei’s eyes flashed. “How can I find him?”

“I have an item in my pocket. Please take it out,” Flaming Qilin said.

Ming Wei took out a small cube from Flaming Qilin. “What is this?”

“It’s a mobile phone, the most advanced communication device on the earth. As long as you tell him that I’m trapped, he will definitely come.”

“Are you friends?”

“He’s my brother, my best brother.”

Ming Wei laughed, his voice full of ridicule. “Humans are mean. Although he is your brother, you didn’t even blink when betraying him. Divine beasts are the same as humans.”

“To live is better to die.” Flaming Qilin didn’t mind Ming Wei’s words. Instead, he smiled in response.

He taught Ming Wei to dial the mobile phone.

They got through soon, and Chu Xun’s voice came from the other side, “Where are you?”

Ming Wei was shocked and almost threw the phone away.

“I’m in danger now! Please hurry and save me! A damn Saint Son is there. His cultivation is too strong so that I can’t win against him. Please hurry up and come here, or he will possess my body!” Flaming Qilin shouted.

“Where are you?” Chu Xun’s voice sounded helpless.

“I am at the south gate of the Martial City.”

“I will be there soon. Saint Son, wash your neck and wait for me. Beep...”

“I’ll wait for you.” Ming Wei sneered.

Flaming Qilin curled his lips. Chu Xun had already hung up the phone and didn’t hear his words at all.

Chu Xun replied that he would be there soon, and he did it. He went to Liang City after receiving the message sent by Flaming Qilin. Liang City was not far from Martial City. It didn’t long for Chu Xun to arrive in Martial City.

A few minutes later, Chu Xun and Ming Wei stood face to face, looking at each other carefully. Ming Wei checked if Chu Xun’s body was as strong as Flaming Qilin said. The Blood race was naturally sensitive to the strength of bodies. Upon closer inspection, Chu Xun’s body was indeed strong. Ming Wei nodded to show his satisfaction.

Chu Xun nodded because the so-called Saint Son was not easy to deal with. He was in the Golden Immortal Realm. No wonder Flaming Qilin was so miserable.

“I didn’t lie to you, right? Is his body stronger than mine?” Flaming Qilin asked.

Ming Wei nodded. “It is indeed good, worthy of my status as Saint Son.”

“According to what we said before, can you let us go?” Flaming Qilin asked again.

“Are you stupid or just pretending? Do you think I’ll let you go? Although your body is useless to me, it’s not bad for other members of my Blood race. After all, it’s a divine beast body.” Ming Wei sneered and felt that Flaming Qilin was really too naive.

“Damn you. I knew you would do this.” Flaming Qilin was not surprised. Although he was not smart, he wasn’t naive. He just wanted to wait for Chu Xun to come. Chu Xun was here, and both of them plotted against each other. It could not be said Saint Son would win.

“Chu the Devil, be careful. This bullshit Saint Son is going to possess your body.” Flaming Qilin was injured but not weak. He grinned and said, “Hurry up. I’m injured and uncomfortable. Don’t just stand there. Please save Wei’er first...”

Flaming Qilin talked a lot. Since Chu Xun was here, he was relieved. He knew Chu Xun very well and thought Saint Son of the Blood race would suffer a lot. He also introduced Zongheng Feiyu to Chu Xun, but Chu Xun was slightly surprised because he knew a powerful family among hundreds of families, which was the Zongheng Family. It was a collateral branch of Gui Gu.

“Can you shut up?” Ming Wei was a little annoyed by Flaming Qilin. How could a dying person talk so much? He thought Chu Xun did not know what Flaming Qilin had done, so he said with a strange smile, “Chu the Devil, do you know that you have been betrayed?”

“Yes.”

Chu Xun’s answer made Ming Wei feel indescribably frustrated as if he had punched cotton. After being betrayed by his brother, he shouldn’t have had such an attitude.

“Idiot, you have been betrayed by Flaming Qilin! He lied to you so that you could come to die!”

“He didn’t lie to me,” Chu Xun glanced at him and said seriously.

“You are indeed an idiot. To protect his life, he tricked you into coming here to throw away your life. Do you understand?”

“He didn’t lie to me.”

Ming Wei frowned. “Are you an idiot who doesn’t understand my words?”

“I won’t die. He didn’t lie to me.”

Ming Wei was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. “Are humans always so arrogant? Xue Gui...”

A thin man stepped out and stared at Chu Xun with bloodthirsty eyes.

“Wait a minute.” Chu Xun waved his hand and pointed to Ming Wei, saying, “You’d better fight me yourself. If you let your attendants deal with me, they are just courting death.”

“You’re courting death...” The man called Xue Gui moved fast like a ghost. He left afterimages on the spot and rushed to Chu Xun in the blink of an eye. His blood energy was boiling, and half-meter-long blood nails grew out of his ten fingers. He reached out to grab Chu Xun with hissing sounds.

Xue Gui was confident in his speed and was satisfied with his attack. He promised to leave a few bloody holes on Chu Xun’s body. The bloody holes he made couldn’t recover easily, and his blood would flow continuously. After his blood came out, this body would naturally be left for Saint Son. Otherwise, he would even tear this body apart.

Swoosh!

Five half-meter-long nails made five bloody lights through the air. The bloody lights did not disappear for a while. It took them a few breaths before they faded away because of his high speed.

The attack was fierce, and Xue Gui was satisfied with the strength and angle of his attack. However, the result of the attack made him stiffen because he caught nothing but air.

“Your speed is high, but it’s of no use.” Chu Xun’s words came from behind his head, causing him to feel cold. He wanted to turn around, but he couldn’t move at all. He was imprisoned, and he couldn’t even rush out of the body. The body was like a sealed space, and he was trapped within, unable to charge out or take control of it.

Ming Wei and the others straightened their backs, their eyes filled with shock.

Flaming Qilin laughed, his laughter startling Ming Wei and the others. Xue He gave him a fist, blasting his stomach. The attack was a little fierce, making him continuously vomit blood.

Chu Xun was also smiling. He put his hand on Xue Gui’s shoulder, and wisps of purple flames burst out from his palm. Xue Gui screamed. His body was like a sealed steamer now. His body was being melted, and one of his arms instantly turned into gas and dissipated.

“Stop!” Ming Wei shouted. He sent Xue Gui to test Chu Xun because he couldn’t sense Chu Xun’s cultivation. Although Xue Gui was imprisoned, he still couldn’t sense Chu Xun’s cultivation. The other side hadn’t run his cultivation yet, but Xue Gui was defeated. This was an opponent difficult to deal with. Ming Wei thought that maybe he had been trapped by Flaming Qilin...
