The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 221 A Battle against Human King

Chu Xun watched as thousands of Sword Qi hurtled toward him.

Even though Cui Xingyi was only a First Grade Human King, his attack should still not be underestimated, not even by Chu Xun.

At the next moment, Chu Xun’s golden bones were surrounded by a mass of purple energy. Both purple and white energy were gathered at his pubic region as he channeled both the Hong Meng Immortal Qi and True Energy. A thin layer of purple mist covered Chu Xun’s body.

“Attack!”

Chu Xun’s voice was like roaring thunder. He formed a magic signet and started writing in the air. When he raised his hand, the air surrounding him seemed packed with an overwhelming pressure, which created a deafening explosion.

A giant purple character symbolizing the word “kill” appeared in the air. It was filled with a fierce killing intent.

“Boom!”

The purple character charged toward the countless sword shadows with an imposing pressure. It grew in size with the force of the wind and became as big as a table in the blink of an eye.

The sword shadows collided with the giant character.

“Boom! Boom!”

The terrifying explosion shook the ground. Flames covered the sky as a raging storm destroyed everything in its path and the ground cracked as well.

The character first increased in size to 10 feet in height, then to 30 feet. While it was charging forward, its pressure and power increased with its size. The sword shadows could no longer stop its impact.

After a short while, millions of sword shadows were shattered and the character charged right toward Cui Xingyi.

“Boom!”

A purple colored storm blew mud and dust into the air and blocked out the sun completely. Cui Xingyi was engulfed by the storm as well.

Chu Xun watched the explosion calmly with his hands clasped behind his back.

Everyone else was very shocked. They could feel their legs trembling violently and some of their teeth even chattered involuntarily!

“Bang!”

A figure jumped out from the dust, it was Cui Xingyi.

Cui Xingyi was in a complete mess. His hair was in disarray and fell to his shoulders and his clothes were shredded into pieces. His face was covered in bruises and blood trickled from the corners of his mouth. His eyes were filled with both fear and hatred.

That powerful character symbolizing “kill” had truly given him a taste of a killing move. If he did not have a secret treasure to protect himself, he would be crippled by now, if not dead.

At the same time, he felt extremely furious and unwilling to give in. A myriad of emotions ran through his face. After all, he was a Human King respected by the entire world. In his past couple of decades as a Human King, no one ever dared to show any disrespect toward him, nor had he ever been in such a terrible state.

He felt extremely ashamed and he was determined to wash off this sense of shame with the blood of his enemy.

Chu Xun’s eyes remained indifferent, yet he felt slightly surprised inside. He never knew the difference between Human King Realm and Grandmaster Realm was so huge.

The technique of the “kill” character was invented by himself after he trained using the Hong Meng Scripture.

It was rumored that the origin of the Hong Meng Scripture could be traced back to the beginning of the world. This ancient training method did not seem to have been invented by humans, but was formed by the power of nature. Everything inside was at a very raw stage, except for the training methods.

For example, the technique of the “kill” character was from an empty page in the Hong Meng Scripture. At first Chu Xun could not figure out how to train when there was only an empty page, yet he realized later that this page was purposely left blank for him to write anything.

If he wrote a sword technique, this page would be about a sword technique. If he wrote a saber technique, it would then be about a saber technique.

Of course, Chu Xun would not just write anything on it, because this blank page was extremely precious. Even if one wrote a beginner fist technique on it, it would still become a top-tier technique after being enhanced by the ancient scripture, as its power would be increased by more than ten times.

After months of training, Chu Xun finally had an enlightenment, so he applied everything he learned in his previous life and this life to write a character that meant “kill”. He then roughly calculated that this blank page could contain nine characters in total.

The character “kill” itself already contained the intent to kill and Chu Xun was also one who never hesitated when it came to killing his enemies. After being enhanced by the ancient scripture, this character had become terrifyingly powerful.

Even though he did not apply full strength to the technique of “kill” character, it was still enough for any grade-nine Grandmaster to explode immediately. However, Cui Xingyi was merely threatened but not harmed by it

Chu Xun was silent. This was his first time fighting against a Human King and his strength was indeed terrifying.

No wonder it was said that everyone below the Human King Realm is no more than a helpless ant.

This saying was definitely not an exaggeration. One Human King alone could beat a bunch of Grandmasters; the difference in strength between the two was irreconcilable.

It was just like the difference between ants and elephants. How many ants would truly be enough to bite an elephant to death?

Cui Xingyi stared at Chu Xun with hatred in his eyes, yet he was alarmed by Chu Xun’s power. He roughly guessed who he was fighting against.

“Are you Chu the Devil?”

“He would kill without hesitation and his attacks are simple but cruel. Moreover, he just said this place was his house. This is Qianlong Mountain, so he must be that infamous Chu the Devil, whose name was known across the world about a decade ago.”

The expression of the elder from Tianlong Fort changed immediately. He had been in the Martial Tao world for a long time, so he had heard of the name of Chu the Devil. “If this young man really is Chu the Devil, I am afraid things will not end peacefully today,” he thought.

“Because it is rumored that Chu the Devil never goes easy on his enemies.”

Everyone present except Cui Xingyi and the elder were young warriors who had made their marks in the Martial Tao world recently, so they had no idea who “Chu the Devil” was. Therefore, when they heard what Cui Xingyi said, they all looked puzzled and curious. “Chu the Devil, what a fierce title! Who is this person exactly?”

Chu Xun’s eyes remained emotionless. Energy surged around his body at the next moment and he charged with a fist signet in his hand.

Chu Xun never wasted time talking to his enemies and would kill them without the slightest hesitation.

Chu Xun moved with incredible speed, approaching Cui Xingyi like a flash of lightning. The energy from his fist then gushed out like a violent thunderstorm.

Cui Xingyi growled in pain. Chu Xun’s fist was so powerful that it created a strong wind that tore his clothes and cheeks.

Cui Xingyi knew Chu Xun was extremely strong, so he took out a piece of domino that was as white and pure as a piece of jade stone. The domino emitted a divine glow, which gradually enveloped his entire body till he looked as if he was cloaked in a white mist.

Meanwhile, he channeled all his Internal Breath and pushed out both his palms and groaned.

“Boom!”

A terrifying blast destroyed all the rocks and trees within a ten meter radius. The ground cracked under the impact and the fissures grew increasingly larger.

Cui Xingyi was knocked back like a missile and he hit a hill that was hundreds of meters away. The hill exploded immediately and debris flew all over the place.

Everyone felt petrified. Their hands and feet turned cold and they gazed at the scene in astonishment.

Cui Xingyi was knocked back by a punch and half of his body was embedded into the hill.

“Boom!”

The hill exploded again and dust filled the air. When Cui Xingyi landed on the ground, his expression had turned extremely ugly and he seemed to be in great anguish.

Chu Xun raised his eyebrows slightly after seeing that his punch was deflected by the white glow around Cui Xingyi’s body. Although that punch looked extremely powerful, he knew it did not harm Cui Xingyi.

Cui Xingyi’s eyes blazed in anger and he was upset when he saw there was a crack on his domino. He found this domino at a secret place and by imbuing Internal Breath in it, it could form an extremely tough protective barrier.

This was his last resort, yet Chu Xun’s punch left a crack on it.

“Swoosh!”

Chu Xun charged toward Cui Xingyi like a streak of lightning flashing across the sky.

Cui Xingyi was both shocked and angry. Using his index finger and middle finger as a sword, he pointed in the air and unleashed several streaks of Sword Qi. Millions of sword shadows appeared with strong killing intent.

“Shadow Sword Technique again,” Chu Xun thought as a look of disdain flashed across his eyes. However, he was slightly surprised at the next moment.

He saw millions of sword shadows combining into one giant golden sword that was at least a hundred feet long. The golden sword hit the ground with a loud “boom” and it slashed toward Chu Xun, unleashing tremendous pressure that cracked the ground even further.

More cracks appeared on the ground and now the trees and rocks were all grounded into fine powder. It was a horrible scene to behold.

“Die!”

Cui Xingyi looked extremely ferocious. He put his palms together and brought them down heavily.

“Boom!”

The energy around the giant golden sword suddenly became stronger and its golden light grew even more blinding. Its speed also increased drastically.

Chu Xun raised his head, looking indifferent as usual. Energy surrounded his body as his Internal Breath gradually filled his body. A purple fist signet suddenly shot out from his fist and grew to the size of a dining table against the strong wind. It charged toward the falling giant sword, creating horrifying explosions along its path.

“Boom!”

The fist signet hit the giant sword and created an explosion that echoed in the sky. The energy formed a tornado that made the mountains nearby collapse. Giant rocks started tumbling down the mountains altogether.

Ge Wuwei and others started seeing stars after the huge explosion and continued stepping back and some even coughed up blood.

Everyone felt as if their souls had left their bodies. Although they were all grade-nine Grandmasters, they still felt extremely weak in comparison to Chu Xun and Cui Xingyi in this fight.

The tornado destroyed everything within a hundred meters. Mountains collapsed and the ground caved in.

The giant golden sword exploded in an instant!

“Puff!”

Cui Xingyi could not suppress the blood surging inside his body and spat out a mouthful of it.

Chu Xun looked calm and collected. He punched toward Cui Xingyi with a fist signet in his hand.

“Boom!”

Cui Xingyi was knocked back and broke countless trees and rocks along his path as he flew like a missile.

Chu Xun then disappeared in a flash. He caught up with Cui Xingyi again with the speed of lightning.

“Boom!”

Cui Xingyi was sent flying backward again, this time he hit a hill which immediately collapsed.

The white glow around him dimmed considerably and there were more cracks on the domino in his hand.

“Swoosh!”

Cui Xingyi jumped to his feet and started running away at full speed. He was scared of Chu Xun and he was afraid that he would die if he fought any longer.

Therefore, he chose to run away.

Instead of staying and maintaining his pride and reputation as a Human King, he chose to run away. In comparison to his own life, nothing else mattered at this point.

Chu Xun’s strength was beyond his imagination. Cui Xingyi was a smart man and he knew Chu Xun had unrivaled speed, so he threw away the jade box in a different direction while he was running.

“Swoosh!”

Cui Xingyi saw Chu Xun going forward to catch the jade box, because the flower seeds inside were extremely important to him.

Using his Human King strength, he threw the jade box thousands of meters away from him.

Cui Xingyi was secretly glad, because he would be able to escape from Chu Xun as long as he chose to go after the jade box.

However, what he witnessed the next second sent chills to his bones.

With a flick of a finger, Chu Xun shot out a purple line that retrieved the jade box in an instant.

It was a Reincarnation Line. Chu Xun was unable to forge one with True Energy, yet the Reincarnation Line forged with Hong Meng Immortal Qi was even more powerful.

Once Chu Xun got the jade box, he threw it inside his Storage Ring.

“Boom!”

The ground exploded as Chu Xun started chasing after Cui Xingyi again. He was so fast that his speed created a friction against the wind and set off a series of sparks accompanied by sounds of explosion.

Chu Xun attacked straight away with a magic signet in his hand. The energy in his fist created a rumbling sound in the sky like that of thunder.

“Boom!”

His fist hit Cui Xingyi heavily and the Hong Meng Immortal Qi inside him surged like a roaring tide.

The white glow around Cui Xingyi suddenly exploded and dispersed into the air. The domino in his hand shattered into fine powder as well.

The energy from Chu Xun’s fist did not diminish at all and it landed heavily on Cui Xingyi’s chest.

“Bang! Crack!”

A loud explosion was heard followed by the jarring sounds of bones breaking.

Cui Xingyi’s chest caved inward and a bloody hole was blasted open on his back. His body was knocked into the ground and a huge pit appeared on the ground with a loud “boom”.

Chu Xun landed and channeling more purple energy around his fist, he then attacked again.

“Boom!”

This time he punched at Cui Xingyi’s abdomen. Blood splattered all over the place and multiple sounds of bones breaking were heard. His waist was almost broken in half.

Cui Xingyi’s eyes were filled with fear. He was in an extremely miserable state right now. Not only was he coughing up blood ceaselessly, his body had also been smashed into a pile of useless flesh.

However, the Human King was indeed tough. Cui Xingyi could still stay alive in such a horrible state. If it had been any ordinary human who was being beaten up, that person would have died a hundred times over.

Chu Xun looked indifferent as usual. He raised his fist again, this time he was determined to kill Cui Xingyi once and for all.

Cui Xingyi’s heart almost stopped. He wanted to beg, yet blood blocked his throat, so he could only make a horrified, muffled sound.

However, Chu Xun’s fist signet suddenly changed its course and charged toward the sky.

A palm signet with destructive power charged toward Chu Xun’s fist signet at the same time.

“Boom!”

A huge mushroom cloud rose in the sky and the storm after the explosion destroyed everything within a hundred meters. Even the ground cracked under the huge impact.
