The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 587 Trapping and Killing the Fourth Demon Lord!

The Fourth Demon Lord stared at Chu Xun with cold eyes and a gloomy face.

“How do you feel?” Chu Xun asked with a faint smile.

“You will regret what you did.” The Fourth Demon Lord abruptly charged into the air.

At this time, the fourth big star fell. Its terrifying pressure made the ground rumble and crack.

The Fourth Demon Lord’s foul aura surged around him. He slapped twice, and the huge palm print hit the big star, causing a terrible explosion and a storm to sweep around.

With a boom, the fifth big star quickly fell, its power astonishing.

The Fourth Demon Lord’s expression darkened, and he suddenly raised his hand. His evil power turned into a palm bigger than the falling star. Then the palm easily crushed the star.

The sixth big star fell.

The seventh big star fell.

In the end, ten stars had been crushed by the Fourth Demon Lord.

Chu Xun sighed secretly. If his cultivation were higher, the Fourth Demon Lord would not have destroyed the big stars so easily. The difference in strength between the two was so great that the power of the Massive Killing Formation of the 12 Stars hadn’t been fully exerted.

“Is that all your strength, Chu the Devil? I don’t think you can do anything to me.” The Fourth Demon Lord’s face was full of disdain.

Chu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Don’t be happy too early.”

Boom!

The void trembled. The eleventh big star fell, erupting with a bright radiance. Because falling quickly, the star rubbed against the air and produced blazing flames.

The Fourth Demon Lord’s expression turned grave. He could sense the terrifying power of the star. With a light wave of his hand, he sealed the space above him in an instant.

“Is it a skill of an expert at the Gold Immortal Realm?” Chu Xun was secretly shocked. The Fourth Demon Lord was much more difficult to deal with than Mo Yan.

With the space above sealed, the big star seemed to have fallen into a swamp. It didn’t stop but fell more slowly.

Chu Xun’s eyes twinkled, and he flicked his fingers gently. Several streaks of purple light integrated into the Star Flags. Then the 12th star appeared, illuminating everything within a radius of dozens of miles.

Boom!

The 12th big star smashed viciously against the 11th star. The eleventh star accelerated dramatically and smashed towards the Fourth Demon Lord.

Boom!

The Fourth Demon Lord slapped the 11th big star and exploded it. The 12th star fell fast, hit him on the head, and made him fall to the ground again. With an explosion, dust and smoke spread. A big hole with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared on the ground.

Chu Xun was looking forward to seeing if the Fourth Demon Lord had gotten hurt. It’s impossible to kill him completely. Chu Xun raised his hand to disperse the dust waves and found the Fourth Demon Lord kneeling on one knee at the bottom of the pit, lowering his head and motionless.

Suddenly, the Fourth Demon Lord stood up and stared at Chu Xun with cold light flashing in his eyes. There was blood on the corner of his mouth. He was injured.

“Chu the Devil, I’ll tear you into pieces.” The Fourth Demon Lord roared and then took out a demonized scythe. A frightening foul aura swirled around him. With a wave of the scythe, he knocked the 12 Star Flags around him away.

Chu Xun was slightly shocked. He suddenly took back the 12 Star Flags and raised his hand. It was Demon-slain Finger! It was smashed by the demonized scythe of the Fourth Demon Lord.

“Chu the Devil, I said you would regret what you had done.” The Fourth Demon Lord grinned hideously. He activated his demonized scythe, with the foul aura surging, he slashed at Chu Xun.

Chu Xun looked grave. He raised his hand. A large number of purple ripples swept out. A big fish flew out of the purple waves with a pair of wings and pounced on the Fourth Demon Lord.

Mystics of the Roc and Leviathan!

It knocked the demonized scythe of the Fourth Demon Lord aside. With a sharp collision, the Fourth Demon Lord was sent flying by the shockwave.

Chu Xun was also blown away by the shockwave and flew hundreds of meters back. Before he could stand still, he saw a shadow of the demonized scythe, which was more than 100 feet long, falling towards him.

Eternal Phoenix Scripture!

The Flaming Phoenix was burning the sky. Then it charged at the demonized scythe with purple flames all over the sky and exploded.

“Chu the Devil, you do have something special.” He attacked Chu Xun like lightning while speaking. The demonized scythe in his hand slashed toward Chu Xun’s head.

Golden light flashed in Chu Xun’s hand, then the tail bone of the Ancestral Dragon appeared. He swung it fiercely. It collided with the demonized scythe. A violent force spread out.

Chu Xun felt something sweet in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying hundreds of meters away.

The Fourth Demon Lord laughed wildly. “Chu the Devil, you’re just so so.”

“You’re not as powerful as I thought.” Although he had lost at the last round, Chu Xun’s fighting spirit was strong. He held the Ancestral Dragon’s tail bone and took the initiative to rush toward the Fourth Demon Lord.

Boom! Boom!

The two fought together, destroying everything around them. The violent force spread and wreaked havoc everywhere.

Boom!

A figure flew backward. It was Chu Xun. His cultivation was much lower than that of the Fourth Demon Lord. If it weren’t for the Ancestral Dragon’s tail bone, he would have been defeated long ago.

“Chu the Devil, Mo Yan told me that if I can kill you, don’t hesitate. So, go to hell.” The Fourth Demon Lord seemed to teleport in the air.

Chu Xun swung out the tail bone of the Ancestral Dragon, causing a large number of golden purple ripples.

Boom!

Chu Xun was sent flying again, and his blood splashed in the air. His arms convulsed, and his purlicue cracked, bleeding.

“Chu the Devil, be careful.” Flaming Qilin roared in shock.

At the time, the Fourth Demon Lord appeared next to Chu Xun and slashed at him with destructive power.

Suddenly, a tender branch appeared out of nowhere and swiftly wrapped around the demonized scythe. The scythe couldn’t move anymore.

The Fourth Demon Lord was shocked. The foul aura raged around him. He desperately activated the demonized scythe but failed.

Chu Xun desperately activated the Ancestral Dragon’s tail bone. Purple-gold ripples surged and hit the Fourth Demon Lord. Then he couldn’t hold his demonized scythe anymore. He coughed up blood and flew backward.

The demonized scythe was still imprisoned in the air by the branch with green light. The branch looked weak, but the foul aura on the demonized scythe dissipated rapidly because of the function of green light.

Chu Xun stepped forward and quickly put away the demonized scythe. The mark of the Fourth Demon Lord on it was erased by the branch. It was a powerful demonic artifact, the weapon of the Fourth Demon Lord. It must never return to his hand.

“Chu the Devil, give it back to me,” the Fourth Demon Lord roared and flew to Chu Xun.

A tender branch appeared and struck towards him.

The Fourth Demon Lord was shocked. With the foul aura surging around him, he wanted to shatter the branch, but the seemingly fragile branch was indestructible. It easily broke through his foul aura and then struck him on the chest. In an instant, his blood spurted out, and he screamed. A terrible wound appeared on his chest, so deep that his bones could be seen.

“Don’t let him escape,” Chu Xun shouted.

Mengdie nodded slightly. She waved her hand. Countless branches appeared and formed a cage. Then it trapped the Fourth Demon Lord.

The Fourth Demon Lord slammed his palm toward the cage trapping him, but before the foul aura could approach, it was shattered by the spreading green light of the cage.

“Who on earth are you?” The Fourth Demon Lord angrily roared at Mengdie.

Everyone saw that the attacker was Mengdie and was secretly shocked. “Who is she? Why is she so powerful? She is even more terrifying than Chu the Devil.”

“I’m Mengdie.” Mengdie honestly answered the Fourth Demon Lord’s question.

The Fourth Demon Lord was speechless. He didn’t know who Mengdie was at all. She was so powerful that he trembled slightly.

“Chu the Devil, you’ve prepared so much for today.” Trapped in the cage, the Fourth Demon Lord looked at Chu Xun coldly.

“It was prepared for Mo Yan. Although he didn’t appear, it’s worth catching a big fish like you,” Chu Xun said.

The Fourth Demon Lord smiled disdainfully. “Chu the Devil, you are as cunning as a fox. But do you really think you can trap me?”

Chu Xun frowned and felt uneasy.

The Fourth Demon Lord forced out a drop of True Blood and formed a magic signet with both hands. Suddenly, an eddy appeared.

“Goodbye, Chu the Devil. I’ll kill you one day.” The Fourth Demon Lord looked at Chu Xun with grim eyes and stepped into the black eddy with one foot.

“Mengdie, don’t let him go,” Chu Xun shouted. The black eddy was a transmission door.

The Fourth Demon Lord’s cultivation was truly frightening. If he were to escape, he would cause a disaster.

Mengdie nodded slightly and pointed a finger to the air. A branch extended out of the cage. At this moment, half of the Fourth Demon Lord’s body had already entered the black eddy. However, the branch caught his leg outside and fiercely pulled him outwards.

The Fourth Demon Lord roared in shock. Half of his body had entered the eddy and couldn’t get out. What he used was the Blood Escaping Magic of the Subterranean Devils Clan. With his one leg tied up by a branch, he couldn’t break free at all. The two forces formed a tug-of-war.

The Fourth Demon Lord felt that he was about to be torn apart. He screamed, “Chu the Devil, I must tear you into pieces.”

Poof!

His blood splashed. The Fourth Demon Lord disappeared with the black eddy, but a leg was left, torn off from his body.

The Subterranean Devil Army had already been wiped out. The rest of the people stared at the leg wrapped by the branch, dumbfounded.

Chu Xun came and motioned for Mengdie to retract the cage. A wisp of Violet Underworld Flame hit the leg and burned it to ashes.

Although the Fourth Demon Lord escaped, he had lost one leg, meaning that his combat strength would be greatly diminished. If they met again, Chu Xun would be able to kill him with the 12 Star Flags.

After the battle came to an end, Qiu Yunping was the happiest. The crisis in Shadowless City had been completely resolved.

Chu Xun was injured and returned to the hotel to recover.

All in all, the rewards he had reaped this time were good. It had been worthwhile for him to cripple the Fourth Demon Lord and acquire the Shengyang Flower.

However, the hidden tricks the Subterranean Devils Clan left behind had appeared. It seemed that the world would be even more chaotic in the future.

Chu Xun was deep in thought. Should he break through his new stage of cultivation or not? He was at the threshold of the intermediate stage of the Nascent Soul now. He could promote his cultivation to a new stage at any time. However, he was afraid that if he stayed in seclusion for decades, there was no time for him to gather the materials for Life Extension Elixir. The elders on the mountain would not be able to wait for him to come out.

After thinking for a moment, he gave up the temptation of breaking through and took out the incomplete map to study.

The materials required to make the Life Extension Elixir were all rare treasures. They could only be stumbled upon by luck. If this incomplete map was real, he thought he could go to the Immortal Island in the sea.

To Chu Xun’s surprise, someone came to him one day. It was Zhong Ren, the Grand Advisor, who was now a Grade Nine Human King. After so many years, his appearance hadn’t changed at all.

“Did the top official send you here?” Chu Xun asked.

Zhong Ren nodded and said, “It has been fifty years since we met last time. You are a bird of passage. If it weren’t for what happened a few days ago, I wouldn’t know where to find you.”

“What can I do for you?”

After hearing Zhong Ren’s words, Chu Xun frowned slightly and asked in surprise, “The Ocean race?”

“Yes, the Earth has mutated so much not only on land but also in the water. The sea is mysterious. In addition, many powerful marine creatures suddenly appeared on the continent. Lian City almost fell, and nearly a million people died,” Zhong Ren said.
