The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 537 Get over Here and Apologize!

Chu Xun plunged from the flying ship like a thunderbolt. The aura around him was violent. He raised his hand and whacked at Huang Chi.

Huang Chi was alarmed and infuriated. Although he was at the Intermediate Immortal Level, he was not so pompous as to believe that he could fight against Chu Xun. According to Zu Si’s speculation, Kuang Zhan and others were killed by Chu Xun.

Huang Chi roared angrily. His Internal Breath swept around him and layers of armor made of his protective aura covered him. At the same time, he desperately struck out with his palms, and his Internal Breath rushed toward Chu Xun like a cascade.

Chu Xun’s momentum was so strong that Huang Chi’s cascade-like aura was directly shattered by his fist energy. With a bang, Chu Xun’s fist smashed Huang Chi’s armor of the protective aura and landed on his face without any unnecessary fancy moves.

“Crack!”

Ear-splitting sounds of bones cracking rang through the air. Huang Chi let out a shrill cry. Half of his face caved in. His facial features all moved to different places. Blood stained every inch of his face. He flew outward, falling at someplace several thousand meters away.

Xie Qingyun and the others were so shocked that they couldn’t speak for a long time.

“Brother Chu, since we are already allies, let’s put aside our past grudges for now and cooperate with each other sincerely. What you did is not appropriate, is it?” Xie Qingyun felt like losing his temper, yet he couldn’t. His face turned purple as he strived to hold back his rage.

“I brought Jingchou here. How can I let an animal scold him here?” Chu Xun sneered. “If you want to cooperate with me, then behave yourselves. If not, then get out of here immediately. Once any of you bark like this again, the punishment won’t be so light next time. I’ll make that person disappear for good.”

Chu Xun calling Huang Chi “animal” made the experts from the Peacock race and the Draconian race look rather uncomfortable. They were angry, but they did not dare to talk back. That made them rather aggrieved.

“Tell him to get over here and apologize,” Chu Xun said coldly.

“Er...” Xie Qingyun was speechless. “He’s beaten Huang Chi into a pulp. Now he wants the victim to apologize?”

“Brother Chu, you’re carrying this too far, don’t you think?” Asked Zu Si.

“This is none of your business. Screw off,” Chu Xun squinted at Zu Si and said, “I heard that you could calculate the future flawlessly. Do you want to do some calculation to see if I dare to kill you here?”

Zu Si’s eyes narrowed slightly. A cold light flashed across his eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched. Then, he said, “Brother Chu, though I respect you greatly, the Assembly of Immortals is no pushover.”

“The Assembly of Immortals is nothing to me. If not for the purpose of making more profits, I would have killed people like you the moment we met,” Chu Xun said with a sneer, not bothering to spare Zu Si’s feelings.

Zu Si’s eyes were rancorous. A cold light flickered in his eyes and he clenched his fists.

“Swoosh!”

Chu Xun’s figure disappeared in a flash. Zu Si’s expression changed greatly. His Internal Breath surged around him. With his fist energy raging, he punched out.

“Kaboom!”

The two fists collided, resulting in a violent gale that turned into a violent storm.

Zu Si grunted and his body flew backward like a broken sack. He landed a thousand meters away and staggered a few steps before regaining his balance.

“Chu Xun the Devil, I don’t think you’re sincere to be our ally at all,” Zu Si said in a deep voice.

Unexpectedly, a smile climbed onto Chu Xun’s lips. Instead of chasing after Zu Si, he said with a faint smile, “If I were not sincere, what am I doing here? Playing house with you? Tell that animal to come and apologize to me, or our alliance will fall apart.”

Zu Si’s complexion changed.

Xie Qingyun looked troubled. He turned to look at Huang Chi and suggested, “Brother Huang, how about...”

“Don’t even think about it,” Huang Chi interrupted Xie Qingyun angrily. He stared at Chu Xun with bitter resentment.

Chu Xun curved his lips into a sneer and said, “Weasel, do you know what happened to those who dared to look at me like that in the past? I’ll count to three. If you don’t apologize, I’ll kill you immediately. And I guarantee you that no one here can stop me, nor will anyone give it a try.”

“Brother Huang, just apologize!” Said Zu Si in a low voice.

Half of Huang Chi’s face had caved in, dripping with blood. His pair of yellow eyes revealed viciousness.

“I’m sorry!” Still, he chose to apologize. He didn’t dare to risk his life for this.

“Now you’re talking. Since you are in human form, you should know how to behave like a human being,” Chu Xun sneered and said, “also, bear this in mind. I’m cooperating with the Winged race. You’re just tagging along. To put it bluntly, you’re a beggar. Now you’re begging for a living, you should stay humble.”

After saying that, Chu Xun leaped onto the flying ship.

“Second Uncle...” Yue Jingchou gave him a thumbs-up.

“Let’s swap our identities again.”

Soon, once again, Chu Xun became Yue Jingchou, and Yue Jingchou became him.

“Found anything, Second Uncle?” Asked Yue Jingchou.

Chu Xun gave him an appreciative look. Just now, he changed back to his real identity and made an aggressive move just to test the waters.

“You should pay more attention to Zu Si on this trip,” Chu Xun reminded him.

He’d only exchanged a single move with Zu Si earlier, yet he’d sensed there was a very mighty force inside Zu Si’s body.

The information was wrong. It was said that Zu Si’s cultivation was not impressive, yet his strategies were unparalleled. In fact, his cultivation was very strong, even not much weaker than Kuang Zhan’s. In that previous test, Zu Si didn’t use his full strength but channeled part of his power to suppress the mighty force in his body.

Chu Xun knew that some almighty figures could seal part of their power in other people’s bodies. Once that part of power burst out, the consequence would be terrible. If he had guessed right, Zu Si had an almighty figure’s power inside him.

“Uncle, why didn’t you kill that weasel?” Yue Jingchou asked.

Chu Xun said, “It’s better to let him breathe for the time being. If I kill him, these people may be too afraid of me. That will make this search for treasures fail.”

Yue Jingchou nodded with a half-comprehended look.

As the flying ship sped forward, the people on the ground raced. They were all Immortal-level experts who could run at the speed of lightning for several days on end without getting tired.

In just one day, the group arrived at the border.

When Chu Xun was in school, he had been to the border area for a tour. At that time, the border area was very beautiful. There were snow-capped mountains and lakes. He had even been to the legendary Kenas Lake, where it was rumored that the water monsters lived.

But now, with the continuous development of Earth, the beasts wreaking havoc, and the expansion of the desert, many beautiful scenes he saw in the past had gone.

The Mighty Desert’s area used to be 330,000 square kilometers. Now, it was estimated to be several million square kilometers.

The group came to the edge of the desert to take a brief rest. Then, they would head into the desert.

The desert was very dangerous. Even Immortal-level experts had to be extremely circumspect. After all, some natural disasters, such as quicksand and sandstorms, as well as many natural phenomena were too mighty for mankind to ward off.

Chu Xun found that they were not the only ones who had entered the desert. Groups of people were everywhere. And their conversations all centered on the Suspended Mountain.

“They’re all courting death,” Hei Peng from the Draconian race laughed coldly.

After the short break, they embarked on the journey into the desert.

Since Chu Xun and Yue Jingchou traveled by flying ship, they virtually slept their way here. The journey was very relaxing for them.

Xie Qingyun and the others, however, looked kind of woebegone. They had been running frantically for the whole day. Now, they were travel-worn.

The desert was spectacular. But it was also desolate, giving one a sense of loneliness. If one were to walk in the vast desert alone, one would probably go crazy.

Huang Chi’s face was pretty much completely healed. After all, he was an Immortal-level expert. His recovery ability was strong.

He saw a team riding camels. These were also a group of warriors heading to the center of the desert. There was an Immortal-level expert amongst them, and the others were all in the Great King Realm. The team had around 12 people.

Huang Chi raised his hand, and his Internal Breath surged. He threw out a punch, causing the sand to fly to the sky, which blew the Great King Realm masters off the back of their camels and flew backward.

“What are you doing?” Demanded the only Immortal-level expert in that group, who was sitting on his camel, coldly scowling at Huang Chi.

“You swarm of ants, hand over these camels,” Huang Chi said domineeringly. The pressure of the Human-Immortal Realm instantly swept over the place.

“Who are you to tell us what to do?” A Great King got back on his feet and spat out the sand in his mouth, his face full of discontent.

“You humble ant, you’re not qualified to ask me that. If you don’t wanna die, then get lost,” Huang Chi laughed coldly.

Kong Changcun, the expert from the Peacock race, stepped forward and exuded a majestic aura. The Human-Immortal Realm warrior riding the camel paled at once.

Just Huang Chi alone was difficult for him to deal with. Now there were two such strong experts, he knew he had no odds against them at all.

“Give us the camels and get lost. If you dare to say no to us, you’ll die!” Kong Changcun threatened.

Even though this group was unwilling to admit defeat, the other party was clearly much more powerful than them. Thus, they didn’t dare voice their rage.

“Fine, we will give you the camels!” The Human-Immortal Realm expert was forced to submit.

“At least you know what’s good for you. Shove off...” Huang Chi vented all his spleens he had for Chu Xun on this group of people.

If it weren’t for fear of Chu Xun, he would have killed them all.

“Human beings are just cheap. They wouldn’t behave until they suffered.” Huang Chi sneered.

As soon as Huang Chi finished speaking, Chu Xun suddenly appeared beside him and casually threw a punch at him. Huang Chi had no time to duck.

“Bam!”

Blood splashed, and Huang Chi screamed. The half of his face that had just healed with great difficulty caved in again. With his facial features in disarray, he flew backward and then landed on the desert. Half of his body had sunk into the sand.

“Swoosh!”

Chu Xun leaped and appeared in front of Kong Changcun in a flash. He raised his hand and attacked again.

“Chu the Devil, how dare you!”

Kong Changcun roared in horror. He hurried to run his cultivation method to defend himself. Yet, his Internal Breath was smashed by Chu Xun, and his amethyst-like palm hit his face with great force.

“Slap!”

Kong Changcun howled miserably. Blood was all over his face. Just like Huang Chi, he flew a thousand meters away before plunging into the sand.

Xie Qingyun and the others were dumbfounded.

The team on the opposite side was also stunned.

The Human-Immortal Realm warrior, however, walked up to Chu Xun and said respectfully with a fist salute, “Greetings, Chu the Devil.”

Just now, he heard clearly that Kong Changcun called the man Chu the Devil.

Those Great Kings eyed Chu Xun with surprise and curiosity. “He is the famous Chu the Devil!

“The rumor on the Internet is true. Chu the Devil who had disappeared for half a century has really reappeared.”

“Greetings, Senior Chu,” those Great Kings saluted.

Chu Xun nodded slightly, indicating that they should wait. Then he turned to Xie Qingyun and said, “What’s the deal with you? How dare you insult mankind in my presence? Do you really think that I’m that good-tempered?”

“There is a misunderstanding. Brother Huang and Brother Kong did not mean to offend you.” Xie Qingyun was full of resentment and he felt extremely aggrieved. He had tried his best to be a peacemaker during the journey.

“You animals actually dared to call human beings ants? Who gave you the nerve?” Chu Xun reprimanded.

“Calm down, Brother Chu. I’m sure Brother Huang and Brother Kong really didn’t do this on purpose,” Zu Si said.

“If there is a next time, I’ll definitely kill you,” Chu Xun snorted.

“Chu the Devil, you’re too imperious,” Kong Changcun protested. The Peacock race had always been proud and liked to keep up appearances. After being sent flying away by Chu Xun’s slap, Kong Changcun was humiliated and infuriated.

Chu Xun stared at Kong Changcun with a menacing look in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xie Qingyun criticized Kong Changcun inwardly. “Old peacock, shut up! At this moment, it wouldn’t hurt to stay silent. But you have to make things worse by answering back!”

“Whoosh!”

Chu Xun leaped in a flash and zoomed toward Kong Changcun. He made a fist print and thrust his fist at him.

Kong Changcun roared. The aura around him surged. In a fraction of a second, he transformed back into his true form, which was a huge peacock more than 50 meters long. Then, he soared to the air.
