The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 227 - Black-scaled Snake



Chapter 227 Black-scaled Snake

Since someone took the lead to flee, no one would be that stupid to wait there for death at such a critical moment.

Whoola!

The group of people moved almost at the same moment and ran fast and wildly like wild dogs. The person that ran at the end of the line covered his head with both hands, afraid that Chu Xun could catch up with them and break his head open.

Chu Xun watched them flee awkwardly with an indifferent expression, showing no intention of chasing after them.

Bang!

The huge rock exploded, causing broken stones to fly in all directions, and stirring up dust in the air. With that, a figure rushed out of the ruins.

It was Wang An, who was covered in blood, with his hair scattered, looking worse than a beggar.

Eyes bloodshot, he looked at the group of fleeing people and was furious. The tips of his eyebrows raised high, and his hair stood up in anger.

“You cowards and good-for-nothings, I’ll kill you!” he kept roaring, and his voice sounded like thunder.

However, the group of people did not stop fleeing at all but ran even faster.

Seeing this, Wang An felt bitter inside. He was seriously injured and lost most of his fighting power.

“Chu Xun, do you have to kill us all?”

Chu Xun looked at him with a meaningful expression and replied in a mocking tone, “I had wanted to spare you, but you’re courting death yourself.”

Wang An was a little regretful. Chu Xun had told him that he would spare his life if he let that old man off, and now, it was too late to regret.

As far as he knew, Chu Xun, the devil, would never let his enemy off.

“You forced me to do it!” Wang An’s eyes suddenly turned fierce, and a bone flute about the length of a palm appeared in his hands suddenly.

Woo Woo...!

The moment Wang An played the flute, there were unpleasing wailing and howling sounds in the place.

With a flash of his body, Chu Xun came up to Wang An. Purple Qi surged around him as he punched forward with the momentum of thunder.

Bang!

Wang An spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward. The bone flute in his hand was shattered into broken bits, and the strange flute sounds stopped all of a sudden.

Just as Chu Xun was about to chase and hunt Wang An, ear-piercing rustling sounds echoed around him, sounding extremely weird, like some people were crawling.

“Chu Xun, you forced me to do it. If I have to die, I’ll let you die with me. Haha...” Wang An flew a hundred meters away and looked distressed. He roared crazily.

The rustling sounds drew nearer and nearer.

Chu Xun observed around, only to see that numerous huge snakes charged at him from all directions.

Among the snakes, the smallest one was about five to six meters long. All the snakes were black all over and covered with scales that looked like they were made of black steel. As those snakes crawled forward, sparks appeared due to the friction between their bodies and the ground. What was stranger was that those snakes only had two feet at 9 inches away from their heads, unlike other snakes. Their mouths were as sharp as those of eagles.

Those snakes were named Black-scaled Snake, also known as Olecranon Snake.

Chu Xun was surprised that there was this kind of snakes on earth.

Black-scaled Snakes crawled forward with their feet at a high speed, their heads raising high. As they crawled over the rocks, there were deep scratch marks on the rock, sounds of steel rubbing against each other, and a shower of sparks.

The most horrible part about the Black-scaled Snakes was not that their bodies were as hard as steel, but that their olecranon-like mouths could tear steel into pieces and a drop of their venom could corrode a human being into pus.

Since it was hard to tame the Black-scaled Snakes, Chu Xun was curious how Wang An made it.

However, before he could figure it out, he heard a miserable cry echoing through the place. The voice sounded sorrowful and vicious, like a ghost wailing.

The voice came from Wang An. A ten-meter long Black-scaled Snake tore a piece of meat off his leg and wound around him.

Seeing this, the snakes nearby all crawled over and wound around Wang An. In an instant, he was tightly wrapped by dozens of Black-scaled Snakes.

Crack!

With an ear-piercing sound of bone breaking, Wang An let out a miserable cry.

“Chu Xun, even if I die, you won’t be able to survive...”

All Wang An’s bones were broken, and he kept spitting blood. Red blood flew out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. At the moment, he looked like a terrifying ghost.

Boom!

Wang An’s body exploded under the twisting force of the Black-scaled Snakes. Blood and broken meats flew in all directions.

The Black-scaled Snakes swallowed his blood and flesh with their eagle-like mouths, and the scene looked extremely disgusting.

Though Wang An was the Human King, his was killed by some snakes without leaving anything behind. It was really thought-provoking.

Chu Xun frowned and realized that Wang An hadn’t tamed those Black-scaled Snakes.

“Kid, if you don’t save me right now, I’ll die.” Looking at the approaching Black-scaled Snakes, Long Ao had goosebumps all over. He felt like throwing up when he saw those snakes eat up Wang An’s body. Seeing Chu Xun standing in the distance and watching the fun, he felt angry and could not help but roar at him.

Chu Xun collected his mind and looked at Long Ao with a meaningful expression. He replied in a teasing tone, “You’re the descendant of Emperor Ao, so if you’re swallowed by those snakes, won’t it be something like snakes swallowing a dragon?”

Long Ao rolled his eyes in anger. He was in a panic when seeing those Black-scaled Snakes approaching him. “You annoying kid, save me quickly!”

“Well, you don’t sound like you’re asking for help.” Chu Xun showed no intention of helping him.

“You annoying kid, you...” Long Ao stopped speaking because a Black-scaled Snake over ten meters long and as thick as a bowl was very close to him. The snake stared him with cold eyes, arched its neck, and leaned its head backward.

Long Ao almost cried out in horror for the snake was in the posture of attacking.

As expected, the Black-scaled Snake reached out its snake at an amazing speed and opened its olecranon-like mouth, biting toward Long Ao.

“Kid... I apologize. Please save me...” Long Ao couldn’t remain calm any longer and put his pride away. If he were faced with a human enemy, he wouldn’t be afraid of being killed. The point was that those snakes were so bizarre and wouldn’t leave anything of their prey behind. It was the typical case of dying without anything left behind.

Buzz!

As the magic formation that covered Long Ao started to shine and ripples spread away, a terrifying aura emitted from the formation.

The Black-scaled Snake bit the light curtain and was knocked away quickly, its head covered in blood.

Long Ao patted his thumping chest and let out a heavy sigh of relief. “It’s so scary,” he muttered.

Slap!

At the time, a Black-scaled Snake suddenly slapped the light curtain with its tail. The light curtain started to shine brightly, and a terrifying killing intent swept over the place.

Puff!

The snake’s tail was turned into a mist of blood.

Seeing this, other Black-scaled Snakes dispersed like fading tides and stayed far away from the magic formation.

Long Ao was astonished. Those snakes were not only weird but also smart. After they learned of the power of the magic formation, they bypassed it.

Woosh...!

As ear-piercing crawling sounds echoed, numerous Black-scaled Snakes came at Chu Xun, making his hair stand on end.

Whoosh!

A ten-meter long Black-scaled Snake bounced forward like lightning across the sky, and its hook-like mouth bit toward Chu Xun’s head.

Chu Xun flickered his finger, and a ball of purple smoke shot forward fiercely.

Boom!

Before the Black-scaled Snake could move near to Chu Xun, its head exploded into a mist of blood. Its huge body fell to the ground, smashing some fist-sized stones into powders. Other Black-scaled Snakes all dashed forward and ate up their companion’s body without spiting the bone.

As a matter of fact, the Black-scaled Snakes were frightening most because they were in a huge number.

Puff!

A Black-scaled Snake over ten meters long raised its head high and looked down at Chu Xun. It suddenly opened its mouth, and a jet of black venom shot out like a sharp arrow.

Chu Xun moved sideways and dodged the venom. The black venom fell onto the ground and corroded the soil, leaving a huge pit there.

Chu Xun bent his finger and released his Reincarnation Line.

Puff!

There was a rain of blood. The Black-scaled Snake that shot venom at Chu Xun was beheaded, and its body was swallowed by other snakes.

Not to mention the Black-scaled Snakes’ hard scales and their virulent venom, their huge number alone was frightening enough. Besides, the Black-scaled Snakes were bloodthirsty and wild and loved to act in groups.

As the old saying went, an elephant could be killed if the number of the ants were considerable. Moreover, the Black-scaled Snakes were a thousand times terrifying than the ants.

“Kid, be careful!” Long Ao shouted, hiding in the formation. Seeing the terrifying effect of the venom, he felt his throat dry.

Chu Xun nodded, and his dark eyes glittered slightly with inexplicable emotion. He raised the corner of his eyes.

The next moment, he was covered in faint purple light. His both hands started to shine as he made an ancient mark.

In an instant, winds rose up and clouds scudded. Wild winds howled, and the sky became dark.

Long Ao looked up and couldn’t help but widen his eyes, looking astonished.

He saw that in the sky above his head, black clouds surged and cast a large shadow on the ground, covering the sky and the sun.

However, as he looked around, he found that the surrounding places were sunny, which made the black clouds above his head seem even weirder.

Boom!

Lightning flashed and thunders rumbled in the black clouds. There were continuous thundering sounds as bolts of lightning streaked across the sky like huge dragons.

Chu Xun waved his ten fingers, and he was surrounded by purple Qi, looking like an ethereal immortal. The black clouds pressed down to the earth, like an inverted black pot.

Chu Xun suddenly stopped moving his fingers, and as he opened his eyes, a bolt of lightning flashed across them.

Purple Thunder Doom—Punishment from Gods.

Chu Xun roared in a light voice and stretched out one finger.

Boom!

A terrifying bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, looking as if it had torn the sky open. With the thundering sounds, the mountains started to shake lightly.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning as wide as a bucket flew down from the black clouds and hit the Black-scaled Snakes on the ground.

In an instant, the ground exploded and was full of cracks. The rocks were turned into powders, and a dozen Black-scaled Snakes were killed on the pot, causing a heavy mist of blood in the air.

Long Ao’s eyes bulged, and he felt his throat dry and was stupefied.

Chu Xun looked indifferent, and it seemed that there were flashes of lightning in his eyes as he waved his hand.

Several bolts of lightning as wide as bucket came down from the sky and hit the ground, as if they were the punishments from the gods.

Boom! Boom...!

The frightening booming sounds were earsplitting, and the lighting left a huge pit on the ground. Countless Black-scaled Snakes were exploded into meat bits.

Purple Thunder Doom—Destruction.

Chu Xun let out another roar, and his hands were covered in purple Qi. He made a hand print and poked forward with one finger.

Woola!

In a second, the void was twisted. Hundreds of bolts of lightning flew down, causing deafening thundering sounds.

The earth began shaking, and the ground cracked. The horrible cracks stretched far away, and the huge rocks were smashed into pieces. Numerous Black-scaled Snakes rolled and twisted on the ground, and dense fogs of blood spread in the air.

Wild winds howled, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. Streams of blood gathered into a pool. The ground under Chu Xun’s feet was full of broken bodies and turned red with blood.

Bolts of lightning flashed within Chu Xun’s eyes, and even burst out of his eyes.

The frightening lightning didn’t stop striking the ground until half an hour later.

At the moment, Long Ao looked like a wooden sculpture, and was so shocked that he even couldn’t move his eyes.

Hundreds of Black-scaled Snakes were killed completely, and none of them survived. The ground within several hundred meters was burned and black and cracked.

The air was full of a disgusting smell of blood. The black clouds in the sky faded away, and it became sunny again. There was no trace of black clouds in the sky as if what had happened were an illusion.

Chu Xun was a little stunned as well. The scene that happened just now was so terrifying that he felt like it was the end of the world, and those were the real punishments from gods that could destroy the world.

The skill he displayed just now was the Purple Thunder Doom, a move from Hong Meng Scripture. Its power was beyond his imagination.

This surprised Chu Xun. If he used the skill of Purple Thunder Doom after he became stronger in the future and became the Immortal Emperor, how terrifying the effect would be?

A purple light shield rose up and covered Chu Xun as he strode toward Long Ao. This could help him avoid dirtying his shoes since there was blood on the ground.

He raised his hand and withdrew the magic formation. He was amused by Long Ao’s dumbstruck look and smiled lightly.

He infused a gust of Hong Meng Immortal Qi into Long Ao’s body to help the later heal his injuries.

“Heal yourself first,” Chu Xun said.

On hearing his words, Long Ao sat down immediately, leg-crossed, and started to heal his injuries.

About half an hour later, Long Ao opened his eyes, fully recovered.

However, He was surprised by the amazing healing effect of Hong Meng Immortal Qi once again. He opened his mouth but said nothing.
