The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 169 Terrified!

Swoosh!

A sound that resembled leaves being cut by a sharp blade was heard.

One moment ago, everyone was confused about the current situation, yet that sound pulled them back to reality.

The Sword of Goujian pierced through the rear end of the Raptor, and it slashed through the car easily, leaving a cut that was half a meter long. With a simple rotation, the sword tore a big hole in the body of the car. The size of the hole was about half a meter wide as well, through which one could see the Tripod of the Western Queen.

Everyone then watched that person reaching out his hand, and the tripod then vanished into thin air.

Everyone’s eyes opened wide and their jaws dropped. They rubbed their eyes to get a better look, yet the tripod had indeed disappeared.

“Where did the tripod go?” Everyone was left dumbfounded.

“Hand over the Tripod of the Western Queen.” The grade-six Grandmaster shouted angrily.

His anger was well justified, since the Tripod of the Western Queen had just disappeared under his very own eyes.

“Come and get it.” The mysterious man waved his hand and the Tripod of the Western Queen landed on the ground all of a sudden. There was a loud thud when it hit the ground, and there were mud stains all over the place.

Everyone could not believe their eyes. “Is this... a magic trick?”

“Kill that enigmatic guy.” The grade-six Grandmaster from Heaven Tao Sect said to the grade-two Grandmaster next to him.

Boom!

The grade-two Grandmaster jumped off the ground with great strength and mud and dust were sent flying into the air from the impact. He attacked with a firm palm force that released a strong and fierce gust of wind.

At this moment, a faint sound from the Sword of Goujian could be heard again. The man waved the sword gently, and a streak of golden Sword Qi was released for a split second.

Puff!

Blood started pouring down from the sky.

The grade-two Grandmaster let out a terrified shriek as his body was cut into two and fell from mid-air.

This horrifying scene made everyone’s hair stand on end.

“A grade-two Grandmaster was so easily hacked into two at the waist, that’s way too scary!” Everyone thought.

“Who are you?” That grade-six Grandmaster was now on high alert.

Everyone looked at the man curiously.

The man’s mouth curved into a gentle smile as he slowly took off his mask. Underneath the mask was a young and handsome face, yet his eyes were cold and indifferent. Anyone who set their eyes on them would be terrified.

“He looks really familiar...” Someone said in a low voice.

“I remember... He is Chu Xun...” Someone said in a terrified voice.

Those words made the whole crowd frantic.

Chu Xun, Chu the Ruthless, Chu the Devil...

Chu Xun’s name was already well-known across the Martial Tao world.

Someone once waited at Wuji Sect for many days in the hope of witnessing how powerful this Chu the Devil was. However, Chu Xun changed his plan and went to Poison Sect instead, and everyone who waited there were disappointed.

They never thought they would meet Chu Xun in this place, which made them exceptionally happy.

“Based on the rumors, I thought Chu the Devil would be in his seventies or even eighties, I never knew he is so young.”

“I know, right? I am so jealous of him.”

“Shhh... Keep your voice down! Do you wish to die?”

Everyone was murmuring among themselves.

Those from Heaven Tao Sect, however, never expected such a turn of events.

So did those from Rock Sect. None of them expected the appearance of Chu the Devil.

At this moment, the grade-six Grandmaster from Heaven Tao Sect pushed the young man next to him out of the crowd and shouted, “Young Master, run!”

“You guys stay with me to fight, so we can buy some time for...” He did not manage to finish the sentence.

Puff!

Four masters of Acquired Realm were beheaded with one single slash. Their heads flew into mid-air, blood pouring down like heavy rain.

“Argh...” The grade-six Grandmaster growled at this sight. All four of them had been his disciples.

Chu Xun’s eyes were as cold as ever. He formed a magic signet with one hand and pointed toward the sky.

Boom!

The earth shook and the air exploded as an enormous finger hit the ground with terrifying power. Numerous cracks appeared on the ground as well.

The grade-six Grandmaster from Heaven Tao Sect no longer had the mood to mourn for his disciples. His aged face lost all expression as he triggered the flow of Internal Breath all over his body. Energy could be seen flowing over his hands.

“Fight back with me!” He shouted.

The best among the remaining three Grandmasters was only at grade-four and he was already stunned by the overwhelming power from the enormous finger. His blood was flowing violently and he felt his scalp tingling.

After hearing those words, however, they knew the only option left was to combine all their strength and fight back, so they started gathering their Internal Breath and attacked the enormous finger falling from the sky.

Four streaks of strong Internal Breath collided with the enormous finger.

A loud explosion then triggered a destructive storm that engulfed everything nearby. It was a horrendous scene.

After the storm passed, everyone held their breath and looked at the ones in the battle.

Everyone gasped at what they saw. They all felt chills creeping up their backs and their hair once again stood on end.

Half of the grade-six Grandmaster’s body was buried in the ground. His clothes were shredded and covered in blood.

The other three Grandmasters had been smashed into a pile of flesh by the enormous finger. It was a disgusting way to die.

Chu Xun waved the sword indifferently and several streaks of Sword Qi were sent flying.

Puff!

A human head rolled on the ground for a couple of meters. Blood gushed out from the severed neck like a fountain and it painted the ground red.

The grade-six Grandmaster from Heaven Tao Sect had been decapitated.

Everyone felt extreme horror after witnessing what had just happened. Such is the power of Chu the Devil, Chu the Ruthless... It was simple yet cruel, there was not even a single extra movement... They finally witnessed the magnificent power of Chu Xun.

The Young Master of Heaven Tao Sect started running away like a stray dog. At this moment, he only wished that he was born with two more legs.

His meagre strength was only at Innate Realm, so his speed was nothing compared to Chu Xun.

Chu Xun caught up with him within two breaths, and kicked him back to where he was.

“Chu... Chu the Invincible, please spare my life. I am Chen Shao, the Young Master of Heaven Tao Sect, you should not kill me...”

Chu Xun raised an eyebrow slightly, then deprived him of all his cultivation and left him under Hua Sheng’s supervision.

Chu Xun went over to take the Tripod of the Western Queen, then looked at the people from Rock Sect.

“It is an honor to meet you, Senior Chu!” The grade-six Grandmaster from Rock Sect felt a little uneasy and greeted him immediately.

“I need the Tripod of the Western Queen.” Chu Xun said.

The grade-six Grandmaster was shocked, then said, “It belongs to you.”

Meanwhile, the problematic girl looked at Chu Xun curiously from head to toe.

“Chu Xun, do you have a girlfriend?” She asked suddenly.

Chu Xun was a bit perplexed.

“Please forgive her, she was spoiled as a child.” The grade-six Grandmaster apologized immediately.

Chu Xun gave a gentle nod. Of course he would not fuss over such a trivial matter.

“Can I date you?” The problematic girl’s words became even more shocking.

“Are you even an adult, little girl?” Hua Qingwu asked even before Chu Xun could answer her.

Everyone shifted their focus onto Hua Qingwu. They all wondered what she looked like without the mask.

Hua Qingwu decided to satisfy their curiosity. When she slowly took off the mask, everyone stopped breathing for a second.

Hua Qingwu was dazzling, yet her incomparable beauty was not what caught everyone’s attention. She had a pure, almost sacred aura about her, which put every woman in the world to shame.

The problematic girl was a little stunned. She looked at her own body, then at Hua Qingwu’s mature body, and became very upset. She murmured something to herself and walked away. She then left in a car with the others.

Hua Qingwu was confused by her behavior, yet after giving it some thought, she smiled an enchanting smile that once again took everyone’s breath away.

Chu Xun looked around and said in a clear voice, “My friends in the Martial Tao world, please help me send a message to Heaven Tao Sect. Tell them that Chen Shao will be my personal guest for a while. After a month, I will bring Chen Shao and pay Heaven Tao Sect a visit.”

People were stunned at first, then they started talking among themselves.

“Chu the Devil will be visiting Heaven Tao Sect in a month, this is surely breaking news! It will definitely be sent across the Martial Tao world within a day.” Everyone thought.

Chu Xun then left with Chen Shao.

“Let us leave as well!” The old man who was called “Grandpa Fei” by the boy and the girl said with a sigh.

The little girl pursed her lips. After everything, her Sword of Goujian was still taken away by someone else.

Swoosh!

A blinding streak of light flashed across the sky with a sharp noise. Something then pierced the ground in front of the little girl.

The old man, the little boy and the little girl took a few steps backward, out of shock and fear.

People then recognized that it was the Sword of Goujian after they stared at it for a while. Their eyes immediately lit up with greed.

“Sorry I almost forgot to return it, thanks for lending it to me!” Chu Xun’s voice traveled from afar. It was as loud as deafening thunder.

His words were like a bucket of cold water, dashing away anyone’s evil intention to steal it for themselves.

Since Chu Xun returned the sword personally, who would dare to take it for themselves?

The old man thanked Chu Xun toward the direction in which he left.

“When I grow up, I will marry him.” The little girl said with certainty.

The boy smiled gently and said, “You want to marry him for returning what is rightfully ours? Don’t you feel embarrassed even just a little?”

The girl was not bothered by his words at all. She raised her head up high and said, “A true noble man is as gentle and graceful as jade, and his character is a reflection of his deeds. Chu Xun may be cruel, yet he is also a noble man. You would not understand that.”

The boy rolled his eyes and shook his head, he did not think too much into the girl’s words.
