The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 380 - The Fight for Honor!



Chapter 380 The Fight for Honor!

Chu Xun’s eyes turned frosty; he was really pissed off.

The elderly Winged looked grim as well. He didn’t expect an expert like Chu Xun to call him names.

“He didn’t behave like an expert at all, but I will. I’m from a noble tribe, and I won’t condescend to argue with him.” the elderly Winged comforted himself.

“You’re just a bunch of folks with wings. How dare you look down upon human beings? Why don’t you change your looks not to look like human beings? Isn’t it better if you had beaks and long tails?” Chu Xun lost his temper.

The elderly Winged, who had just calmed down, flew into a rage again, and could barely hold back his anger.

“I showed you respect as I thought you were an expert. But you kept swearing at me like a vixen. Don’t you care about losing your dignity?” the elderly Winged’s face darkened as he spoke.

“What? Did I lose my dignity by agreeing to your bullshit? I’m, and will always be, a human being even when I reach the peak of cultivation. I don’t need a bunch of avian-folks to acknowledge my identity.”

Impressed by those words, Jiang Tao and others applauded loudly. The warriors around all looked at Chu Xun with admiration.

“Take a look at what surrounds you, you avian-folks. We’re all human beings, and stop considering yourselves superior to us because you have wings. Try to piss me off and I’ll make you into fried chickens in KFC.”

The elderly Winged was fuming upon hearing those words, and his eyelids and lips twitched. He could barely suppress his anger.

“The strong will finally dominate the world while the weak kneel by their feet begging for mercy,” the elderly Winged said in a deep voice.

“The strong? Are you saying that you guys are the strong while the human beings are the weak?” Chu Xun cast a sidelong glance at him.

Hands behind the back, the elderly Winged replied in a proud tone, “Do I need to make myself clearer? What I meant is clear enough.”

“Do you dare to make a bet with me, you old bird?”

“Bet on what?” the elderly Winged asked.

“Don’t you look down on us human beings? So let’s bet on who will win the fight between your Winged Legion, which is standing behind you, and my human army, without you or I intervening,” Chu Xun answered.

The elderly Winged was dumbfounded. Pointing at Jiang Tao and others, he said in a strange voice, “Do you mean letting them fight my legion?”

“What? Are you afraid?” Chu Xun sneered.

The elderly Winged looked back at the legion behind him and said in a mocking tone, “He said you were afraid.”

The members of the Winged Legion burst out laughing and looked at Jiang Tao and his companions scornfully.

“We’re afraid that they will wet their pants in fear before the fight even starts.”

“I alone can put all these lowly human beings down.”

“I’ve never seen anyone more eager to dig their graves than you guys.”

The members of the Winged Legion mocked in a disdainful tone one after another.

Jiang Tao and his companions flushed with anger. A soldier shall never be humiliated and will never bow his head at the threat of death.

“Cut the crap, you avian-folks. Let’s fight if you have guts.” Jiang Tao snapped.

He believed that Chu Xun was sure about winning the fight since he suggested a fight on his own initiative. He and his companions now had blind admiration for Chu Xun.

They were no fools as to not know that if it weren’t for Chu Xun, those avian-folks wouldn’t have changed their attitudes and the elderly Winged wouldn’t have treated them gently and politely.

“Old bird, do you dare to take the challenge?” Chu Xun asked.

The lip corner of the elderly Winged twitched. With noble status, he had never been called like that.

“Since you want them to die, of course, we will grant your wish, as well as show you how lowly and weak they are.”

“Then cut the crap. Let’s get started,” Chu Xun said.

“Since it’s a bet, there should be a reward.” There was a strange glint in the elderly Winged’s eyes as he spoke.

“If you win, I’ll let go of those avian-folks that I’ve caught. If we win, you will have to announce to the world that human beings are the only dominator of Earth,” Chu Xun said loudly.

The elderly Winged’s expression kept changing as he weighed the pros and cons. In no time, he broke into a smile. “I’m being overcautious. It’s impossible for these lowly human beings to defeat a noble and powerful tribe like us,” the elderly Winged thought to himself.

“Okay. I agree, and I swear on the honor of our tribe.” The elderly Winged, who was full of confidence, swore on the honor of his tribe.

“I got nine fighters here, and I suggest all of you join forces, or my men won’t have the sense of achievement when they win,” Chu Xun said.

Jiang Tao and his companions raised their chests at the words. It would be a great honor for them to win a hundred winged opponents with just the nine of them, and even if they lost, it would be a glorious defeat.

The warriors around kept glancing at Chu Xun as if they were trying to find out why he was so confident.

A disdainful laugh rang out among the Wingeds.

“Well, we want it to be fair, so I’ll have nine people on my side fight the nine from your side,” the elderly Winged said while chuckling.

Chu Xun smiled faintly as he replied, “Fine. Let’s get started. Choose a place where you want to fight. Since we’re on the Earth and I don’t want you to think I’m taking advantage of you by choosing a place more favorable to us, I’ll leave you to choose.”

“Haha...” the elderly Winged laughed out. “How arrogant! But since you insist, I’d better follow your advice. Will you agree to wherever I choose?”

“Yes, and I don’t care even if you want to fight in your place,” Chu Xun said.

“Good.” the elderly Winged responded.

As he turned over his hand, a square map that seemed to be made with animal skin appeared in his palm. It was shining, and patterns of mountains and rivers could be seen on it.

“This is Reality Painting, a treasure of our tribe. The terrain in it isn’t complex, and the hills and ravines are real. How about we have a fight in this painting?” the elderly Winged suggested with a proud expression.

Few knew about this precious painting. Inside was a self-contained world, entered which, one would be trapped there until his death.

Chu Xun’s eyes lit up at the painting. “This painting is a real treasure and contains a small self-contained world, with functions of self-defense and storage and power of launching attacks. It’s like the Purple Mansion to the cultivators.

“What a pity. This is just a corner instead of the whole painting. Nevertheless, it has extraordinary power,” Chu Xun thought to himself.

“Why not. Since you’ve made the suggestion, they will fight in the painting.” Chu Xun smiled and then turned to Jiang Tao and his companions. “Do you dare to enter this painting?”

Having grown up in the mortal world, they had never seen such a painting before, and they cringed after learning that the painting could suck people in.

But soon, they plucked up their courage. After all, they were soldiers and even not afraid of death. Besides, they believed that Chu Xun, who was present, wouldn’t sit by and watch them die. What was more, their urge to defend the honor of soldiers and human beings got the better of their fear of death.

“Yes, sir. We will go ahead even if it’s the lion’s den, let alone a painting,” Jiang Tao replied loudly.

“Glad to hear you say yes, but I still have one question. What should we base on to determine who is the winner and who is the loser?” A scornful smile played around the corner of the elderly Winged’s lips.

“The survived will be the winner, and the dead will be the loser.” Chu Xun’s voice sounded icy.

The elderly Winged’s smile froze on his face. “Okay. I agree.”

“The fight will start in an hour, and before that, we could prepare ourselves.” After saying this, Chu Xun signaled Jiang Tao and others to follow him without waiting for the elderly Winged’s reply.

“Sir, we want to apply for some advanced thermal weapons,” Jiang Tao said and then quickly added, “It’s not that we’re afraid of being killed. We just want to kill more enemies before we die. But we could hardly cause damage to those avian-folks with the weapons now in our hands.”

“Well, not really.” Chu Xun chuckled and continued, “The only thing that we need to shoot birds is a slingshot.”

The eyes of Jiang Tao and others lit up. That was right because Chu Xun had managed to shoot an avian-folk with a slingshot.

Seeing that Chu Xun was whispering to his men, the elderly Winged cocked his ear. The Wingeds were sharp-eared and could hear a needle fall on the ground.

“They are trying to eavesdrop on us. Let’s curse,” Chu Xun said.

Jiang Tao and others were surprised at first but soon caught the drift.

“F*ck you old bird. How dare you eavesdrop on us! Why don’t you come near and let me speak in your ear?” Jiang Tao cursed in a low, wretched voice without looking at the old man.

The elderly Winged’s twitching lip corner showed that he had heard it.

“A bunch of avian-folks, watch how I’ll shoot all of you down later.” a soldier murmured.

The corner of the elderly Winged’s lips twitched even more fiercely.

“Alright. Next, listen to me carefully and do as I say. Then we’ll win.” Chu Xun cut in.

Jiang Tao and others nodded.

Chu Xun raised his hand and set up a soundproof formation.

“Bring all our bullets here.” Chu Xun ordered.

Jiang Tao carried all their bullets into the formation with others.

“This is so little. Isn’t there any more of it?” Chu Xun asked.

“The bullets assigned are limited. But I can apply for another batch. There is still time,” Jiang Tao answered, shaking his head.

“No need. Bring me all the blank cartridges we got.” Chu Xun waved his hand.

“But, sir, we can’t even kill a man with a blank cartridge. Can we kill those avian-folks with it?” a soldier asked, looking worried.

Jiang Tao hit the man with his palm and shouted at him. “Shut up. Since Captain says we can, then we surely can.”

Chu Xun told them to put all bullets together. As he waved his hands above those bullets, Reincarnation Lines disappeared into them.

Now, they were no longer bullets but Reincarnation Lines.

Chu Xun took out nine Jade Cards and engraved a magic formation on each of them quickly.

“Each of you takes one Jade Card and puts it next to your skin. It can prevent you from being killed.”

Though Jiang Tao and his companions were not afraid of death, they were no fools to die for nothing either. Thus, they did as they were told.

“Except for guns and bullets, don’t bring anything else with you,” Chu Xun said.

Jiang Tao, taking the lead, took off his coat and armed himself with bullets as many as possible. When all his clips were filled, he began filling his pockets with supplementary bullets.

“Are you ready?” Chu Xun asked them.

“Yes, sir,” the nine soldiers answered in unison.

“This is a great chance for us to bring glory to our country. The people all over the world are watching us, so don’t chicken out.” Chu Xun warned them.

The onlookers all started livestreaming through their phones.

“Yes, sir,” the nine of them answered in chorus.

“Good. I will be here waiting for your good news. If you win, you’ll be awarded a medal by the top official personally.”

On hearing those words, the nine soldiers flushed with excitement, itching for a fight.

“Hey, you old bird, are you ready? Death is coming.” Chu Xun yelled at the elderly Winged.

The elderly Winged turned back and narrowed his eyes at Chu Xun. “Well, for your sake, I’ll leave their corpses in one piece.”
