The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 206 - A Battle against Blood Lord!



Chapter 206 A Battle against Blood Lord!

Chu Xun returned to Gujiang City with his parents.

Over the past month, they had been sightseeing all over Gujiang City.

Now they returned to Qianlong Mountain Plaza.

“Take care of yourself, Xun. Don’t get impulsive so easily...” This was probably the 110th time that Liu Ran had said this to Chu Xun.

Chu Xun nodded, feeling really bitter inside.

His parents chose the path of cultivation in the end. Apparently, they did not want to choose this path, yet they still did so in order to make Chu Xun feel at ease.

“I’ll soon be a divine being too, son. If anyone wants to bully you, I will find him and break his leg!” Chu Tianhe said with a laugh as he gave Chu Xun a pat on the shoulder.

However, Chu Xun could clearly see the tears at the corners of his eyes. He was reluctant to leave his son.

After such a short reunion, their family had to be broken apart again. Chu Xun blamed himself deep down for not being strong enough.

His cultivation level was dropping quickly. He would probably fall to the early stage of Foundation in no time. By then, he would have to run away from mere grade-seven Grandmasters, and he would definitely not have the strength to protect his parents.

Chu Xun knew that by eliminating the Heaven Tao Sect, he might be able to deter some greedy individuals from acting, but he might also lure out more powerful enemies.

According to the rumors in the Martial Tao world, those people had been coveting his abilities. There were definitely countless people observing him from the dark right now.

It was for the best that his parents chose the path of cultivation, otherwise he would always worry about them no matter where they were. Once they started training, they would be able to fend for themselves even if something happened to him.

With tears in his eyes, Chu Xun passed the training method to his parents and enveloped them with a magic formation to send them into a full-concentration state. Unless they were disturbed by external forces or they chose to wake up, they would always be in the state of training.

Chu Xun kowtowed to his parents a few times, then left with big strides.

...

...

After bidding farewell to Long Ao, Chu Xun walked down the mountain.

He planned to find Emperor Ao and start training on the Hong Meng Scripture.

Chu Xun felt a chill run up his back once he reached the foot of the mountain. He shifted away immediately.

“Boom!”

The ground where he was standing exploded immediately, mud splattering all over the place.

Chu Xun focused his eyes on a middle-aged man standing on a tree branch. He had red pupils and red hair, and he looked weightless on that thin branch as he swayed up and down with it.

“His cultivation must be high! Only with a brilliant Light Body Skill and deep Internal Breath can one achieve such a weightless state.” Chu Xun was shocked.

“Who are you?” Chu Xun asked. His eyes were indifferent and his expression showed no sign of surprise.

However, the other person was slightly stunned. He spoke in a deep, stable voice that was filled with strong bloodlust.

“Only you can hide your shock and remain calm under such circumstances. I respect that!”

Chu Xun looked even more indifferent. “Hide my shock? Don’t think too highly of yourself. I’m not feeling anything,” Chu Xun said coldly.

The man’s expression turned gloomier and his crimson eyes looked even stranger. “I am Blood Lord,” he said while bowing with both hands clasped in front.

Chu Xun looked at him quietly and said after a long while, “I’ve never heard of you.”

Blood Lord laughed in a weird voice, and the smell of blood on him grew even stronger. “You are well known across the Martial Tao world, yet I am just a nobody. It’s perfectly normal that you’ve never heard of me, but you probably should remember Blood Hand. He died in your hands, and he is my junior.”

“No wonder I found his smell familiar. So, it turns out he is Blood Hand’s senior,” Chu Xun thought.

“Blood Hand was a grade-eight Grandmaster, so this guy should be at least grade nine.”

“With my current cultivation, I have to run away even from grade-eight Grandmasters, let alone grade nine.” Chu Xun started having headaches.

“It’s all because of that Firmament Chain, or I would have no fear of fighting against any grade-nine Grandmaster.”

Chu Xun acted as if he was in deep thought, then said indifferently, “I would have forgotten if you never mentioned it.”

Chu Xun could feel the blood energy surging in Blood Lord’s body. It was a horrifying power.

“Countless people have died in your hands, that’s why you got the title of ‘Chu the Devil’. I believe you if you say you almost forgot,” Blood Lord said. The smell of blood always surrounded him.

“So you are here for revenge?” Chu Xun asked.

“Blood Hand and I were not on good terms, but I have to follow my master’s orders. Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to be your enemy,” Blood Lord said ominously.

“I didn’t know that he has a master. If he is a grade-nine Grandmaster, his master must at least be at grade-nine of the Great Completion, or even be in the Human King Realm,” Chu Xun thought in shock.

“I have to find a way to improve my cultivation. I won’t be able to protect those I love if I can’t even protect myself!”

“Chu the Devil, why don’t you just let me cut your head off? That way you won’t have to suffer much, and I can fulfill my task. What do you think?” Blood Lord asked with a devilish smile. His face was beginning to be covered by the color of blood.

Chu Xun looked at him and smiled all of a sudden and said, “I think you should have never come to me.”

A loud crack was heard the moment he finished his words!

The tree that Blood Lord was standing on was broken by some mystical force. It then fell to the ground and made a loud noise.

Blood Lord was apparently stunned, since he did not see Chu Xun attacking in any way. He leaped onto another tree before the previous one hit the ground.

Chu Xun’s eyes were beaming with light as True Energy surged around his body. He formed a fist signet and punched out. A white chain immediately charged toward Blood Lord with a roar.

Blood Lord jumped down from the tree.

“Boom!”

The white chain hit the tree and exploded there. Pieces of wood were flying all over the place and the tree fell to the ground.

Blood Lord’s crimson eyes were now filled with bloodlust.

“I heard that Chu the Devil always kills in an instant and never speaks unnecessary words. If you didn’t attack earlier, I would have thought that you are a fake.”

Chu Xun was shocked a little, but he made no comment. He formed another signet with one hand and pointed toward the sky.

“Boom!”

Thunder started roaring in the sky and the ground was shaking. The entire space was twisted while a terrifying force came falling from the sky. An ancient-looking giant finger appeared in the air and smashed down with a power that could destroy everything.

Demon-slain Finger—scaring all the gods and ghosts by the third finger!

“Crack!”

Trees were broken and leaves were rustling in the wind.

Before the giant finger hit the ground, its immense pressure already made numerous trees explode.

Blood energy surged within Blood Lord’s body as he was covered by a crimson mist. A smell of blood permeated the air. It was a smell strong enough to make one feel dizzy.

“I shall witness the power of Chu the Devil today!”

As he swung his arms, the blood energy became even stronger. Just as he raised his hands, multiple skeletons were forged from blood mist and they charged towards the giant finger.

“Boom! Boom!”

Each collision between a blood skeleton and the giant finger resulted in a deafening sound of an explosion.

Numerous cracks appeared on the giant finger, yet it came crashing down before it was shattered.

Blood Lord swung his arms again to forge a blood skull the size of a table, which then hit the giant finger heavily.

“Boom!”

The ground was shaking and rocks were tumbling down. The collision created a storm with tremendous intensity. It was crimson in color, and from afar, it looked like a raging sea of blood. Wherever the storm traveled, trees and plants were destroyed and hills exploded.

“So it seems the infamous Chu the Devil isn’t so great after all.”

Blood Lord laughed with disdain.

Chu Xun’s eyes were still filled with indifference. His hands quickly formed another signet.

“Swoosh!”

With a loud cry, the shadow of a phoenix rose from the flames into the sky and soared across the sky. With a flutter of its wings, it dashed down with boundless flames that ignited the sky.

The blood mist around Blood Lord became even more concentrated. He reached out his hands and the blood energy around him slowly started taking shape.

...

A human-looking creature at least 30 feet tall let out a deafening cry. Its entire body was formed from blood energy, and from afar he looked just like a man fully soaked in blood.

“Boom!”

The fire phoenix attacked the blood giant ferociously. Mushroom clouds rose in the sky as the flame scorched the blood energy. The air was filled with a mix of a strong smell of blood and a burning smell.

Sounds of flames scorching the blood could be heard repeatedly.

The phoenix cry could always be heard, yet the phoenix shadow was growing smaller.

“Slap!”

The blood giant slapped the phoenix shadow, and its tail dispersed into thin air. Boundless flames disappeared immediately as well.

Chu Xun tried to remain calm, yet he could not hide the paleness on his face.

Not only was that Firmament Chain absorbing his True Energy continuously, but it was also weakening his spells and skills.

The power of both the Demon-slain Finger and Immortal Phoenix Scripture had been halved.

Due to his drop in cultivation, it was already strenuous for him to use the Demon-slain Finger and Immortal Phoenix Scripture. Now, 70 to 80 percent of his True Energy was already spent.

Due to the suppressing nature of the Firmament Chain, it would also take twice the time for him to recover his True Energy.
