The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 308 I Carelessly Grabbed Too Much!

“Thank you, Young Master Zang.”

Pan Chengfeng expressed his gratitude. If it weren’t for Zang Fengling’s help, some of them would definitely have been injured.

Zang Fengling nodded and said, “Brother Pan, be careful. This place is very weird.”

“We have encountered something strange before, and one of my men got injured,” Pan Chengfeng said with a bitter smile.

Zang Fengling took the opportunity to make a suggestion. “Brother Pan, why don’t we explore this place together?”

Pan Chengfeng also understood that the collapse of his alliance with Zang Fengling was due to that nameless guy’s trick.

“That’s exactly what I’m thinking. There is strength in numbers, after all.” Pan Chengfeng accepted the suggestion.

The two groups joined hands once again.

Yan Wushuang sighed that they had missed a good opportunity to attack. Now that these two groups of people had teamed up, they shouldn’t provoke them easily any more.

“Brother Liu, what should we do now?” Yan Wushuang was still unwilling to give up, and his eyes were full of greed for those sets of armor.

Chu Xun pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s follow them first to see if there will be another chance.”

For the time being, they had no other choice. Thus, they followed Zang Fengling’s and Pan Chengfeng’s teams in secret.

All of a sudden, Yan Wushuang grabbed Chu Xun’s arm and pointed in one direction.

Chu Xun followed his gaze and saw three electrofishes playing in the lightning.

“I’ll have to let you help, Junior Sister,” Chu Xun said.

The purple-haired woman nodded and rushed toward the fishes silently. She sealed these three electrofishes with one hand, which was as easy as taking something out of a pocket to her.

Seeing this, Yan Wushuang and the others were stunned, and they started to look at the purple-haired woman with more respect.

“Brother Liu, your junior sister is really something,” Yan Wushuang murmured.

“Of course, she is my junior sister, after all,” Chu Xun raised his head high and said in a proud tone.

Yan Wushuang curled his lips and thought that Chu Xun was shameless.

The purple-haired woman came back, and she had no intention to keep all the fishes for herself. “How to share these fishes?” she asked.

“You keep them first, and when we get out of here, every one of us will have an equal share,” Chu Xun replied.

Yan Wushuang and the others looked at Chu Xun with admiration once more, and thought that Chu Xun was a righteous man.

“They are in trouble,” the purple-haired woman suddenly said.

Chu Xun certainly noticed it as well, but he pretended that he didn’t. “Junior Sister, what do you mean?” he asked.

The purple-haired woman looked at him, and then at Zang Fengling and his companions.

“Don’t move, guys,” Chu Xun said.

Yan Wushuang and the others held their breath and lay down.

They could see Zang Fengling and his companions vaguely in their sight.

“Look over there.” Chu Xun pointed in one direction.

Yan Wushuang and the others looked in the direction and they couldn’t help but gape in shock for they saw a dozen electric eels there.

“They fell into the electric eels’ hideout,” Yan Wushuang said.

The electric eels dispersed in different directions. The lightning field was like their home, and they could move freely in the air with the power of the lightning. The eels dispersed soundlessly and surrounded Zang Fengling and his companions.

Zang Fengling and his companions didn’t have any divine sense, and distracted by the crackling sounds of the thunder and lightning, they didn’t realize that they had been completely surrounded.

Whoosh! Whoosh...!

The dozen electric eels moved, and they were as fast as the lightning in this lightning field.

Zang Fengling and Pan Chengfeng were both seventh-grade Human Kings, so they had keen senses and immediately realized that there was something wrong.

“Stay alert.” Zang Fengling roared.

After all, they were Human Kings, so they reacted really fast. They made their moves almost at the same time. In an instant, shadows of sabers, swords, palms, and fists flew everywhere.

Bang Bang...!

These electric eels’ raid failed, and some of them even got killed and injured.

“These electric eels turned out to be so disappointing,” Chu Xun murmured.

Despite so, the electric eels didn’t step back. Instead, they became even more aggressive now.

Whoosh! Whoosh...!

These electric eels began to attack fiercely. They opened their big mouths and bit toward their enemies with their sharp fangs. Some of the eels even attacked by slashing their tails against their enemies.

In that instant, a fierce battle began. Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled, mixed with the roars of the warriors and shrills of the electric eels.

Looking from afar, one could only see a ball of electric arcs shining brightly.

Chu Xun’s eyes flickered as he said in a low voice, “Here comes our opportunity.”

Yan Wushuang was shocked and replied, “Brother Liu, don’t act rashly.”

“Wealth comes from danger. Don’t worry, I will be fine.” Chu Xun did not dare to wear the black robe, lest Yan Wushuang would recognize him.

“Junior Sister, I’ll have to let you help me again.”

The purple-haired woman nodded and made a hand print with one hand. After that, she pointed between Chu Xun’s eyebrows with her slender fingers.

Yan Wushuang and the others were stunned when they saw that the muscles on Chu Xun’s face twisted slowly, and a moment later, Chu Xun’s face looked totally different.

However, this was just a trick. In fact, it was Chu Xun himself who changed his look, and he told the purple-haired woman to point between his eyebrows through a secret voice message just because he wanted her to cover him up.

Yan Wushuang and the others looked at the purple-haired woman with admiration. They never expected there to be such an amazing skill, and it opened their eyes.

“I’m leaving.” Chu Xun disappeared into the lightning field with a whoosh. Then, he changed his direction and approached Zang Fengling and his companions in secret.

Zang Fengling and his companions were fighting a fierce battle. The people of the Chamber of Purple Garments were standing at the inner area, while the people of the Zang family were standing at the outer area, because they had armor to protect themselves.

“Young Master Zang, words can’t express my gratitude toward you. We owe you a big favor, and we’ll return you the favor in the future.” Pan Chengfeng was very grateful to the Zang family. If it weren’t for the Zang family’s protection, he and his men would have suffered a great loss.

“You’re welcome, Brother Pan. Since we are allies, we should always support each other.” In fact, Zang Fengling had his own plan. Though the Chamber of Purple Garments had a bad reputation, it was powerful. Allying with them would benefit the Zang family a lot.

“Young Master Zang, you’re indeed a righteous man. We’re friends now,” Pan Chengfeng said in a loud voice.

“Haha, Brother Pan, after we finish our business here, let’s have some wine together and chat with each other.”

“Who is it?” a sixth-grade Human King of the Zang family suddenly roared angrily.

Bang!

An iron fist landed on his head, and he fell down without making a sound.

When Zang Fengling and Pan Chengfeng heard the voice, they turned around and saw a person dragging a fainted warrior of the Zang family into the lightning field.

Zang Fengling almost went crazy with anger. His long spear whistled as it flew straight into the lightning field.

Ploop!

There was a slight sound, sounding like a spear had pierced through a man’s body.

“Get the hell over here.” Zang Fengling pulled the chain that was attached to the spear, and a figure was drawn back to him.

When Zang Fengling took a closer look at the figure, he almost fainted from anger. The figure was exactly the warrior that had been dragged into the lightning field. This man had been stripped and his armor was gone. What made Zang Fengling even angrier was that his spear had pierced through the man’s arm and almost tore the arm off.

“Young master!” The warrior suddenly woke up in pain and let out a scream.

“Who is it? Get the hell over here.” Zang Fengling was furious.

“Have you seen who it is?” Pan Chengfeng turned back and asked.

“It’s a stranger. I’ve never seen him before,” one of them said.

The others all nodded.

Zang Fengling pulled his spear out of the warrior’s arm and helped him heal the wound. He felt so depressed because it cost the lives of a dozen Zang family members to bring the armor out of an ancient relic, and they only had ten sets of armor in total.

Whoosh! Whoosh...!

The electric eels were still launching attacks. The lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and electric arcs were flying in all directions.

“Be careful!” Pan Chengfeng roared and dived out.

That figure appeared again.

While the electric eels were attacking Pan Chengfeng and his companions, Chu Xun approached them at a lightning speed and punched another sixth-grade Human King of the Zang family.

Although the Human King was well prepared, he still couldn’t resist Chu Xun’s attack. Chu Xun smashed the Human King’s six-layer protective aura and hit him in the head before dragging him away.

“Let him go!” Pan Chengfeng pounced toward Chu Xun. With a single palm, he twisted the lightning, and his Internal Breath transformed into a powerful chain and flew forward.

Chu Xun dragged the warrior of the Zang family with one hand and threw out a punch with another hand, causing a booming sound. After that, he used the counterforce and disappeared into the lightning field.

Pan Chengfeng was dumbfounded and furious. His opponent actually managed to escape with the help of his palm strength.

Whoosh!

Without even thinking, he chased after Chu Xun.

It didn’t take long for him to return. He looked livid, carrying a naked man in his hand. The man’s armor was gone.

Zang Fengling’s face darkened, and he almost broke his own teeth by gashing them. He lost another piece of armor.

“He’s here!” Someone shouted in horror.

Zang Fengling and Pan Chengfeng turned their heads and saw that the figure knocked out another two warriors of the Zang family and dragged them into the lightning field.

“Ahh...” Zang Fengling roared. He smashed a coming electric eel into pieces with one palm and chased after Chu Xun into the lightning field.

Pan Chengfeng looked very grim and followed into the lightning field as well.

As soon as they entered the area, Chu Xun appeared again. This time, he knocked out three warriors of the Zang family and dragged them away.

Without Zang Fengling and Pan Chengfeng, these warriors were terrified. They watched Chu Xun drag the three fainted men into the lightning field while dealing with the attacks from the electric eels.

At this moment, Zang Fengling and Pan Chengfeng happened to come back. Their faces were gloomy, and behind them were two naked warriors of the Zang family.

Upon learning that another three warriors had been knocked out and dragged away, Zang Fengling almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He went straight into the lightning field again without saying a word.

A short while later, Zang Fengling returned with three naked warriors.

“Who the hell is it? Come the hell over here.” Zang Fengling was mad, crashing two electric eels in a row. The other electric eels were scared by his action and turned around to flee. However, Zang Fengling caught up with them and killed all of them.

On this side, Chu Xun returned to his companions.

“Brother Liu.” Yan Wushuang gave Chu Xun a thumbs up. They had seen clearly what Chu Xun had done.

Chu Xun waved his hand, and a total of seven sets of armor appeared.

Yan Wushuang and the others didn’t stand on ceremony, and each of them put on one piece of armor.

The purple-haired woman refused to wear it, because she didn’t need it.

Chu Xun didn’t need to wear the armor either. As a result, there were two extra sets left.

“It seems that I carelessly grabbed too much,” Chu Xun grumbled.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he said, “Sharing with others will be more joyful than enjoying alone. Find a place to hide, guys.”

Yan Wushuang didn’t know what Chu Xun wanted to do, but they still walked far away to hide.

About half an hour later, footsteps of the people from another force could be heard. The force was named Faith of Canonization, and was very powerful.

When the people of the Faith of Canonization saw Chu Xun standing alone in the lightning field, they immediately became vigilant and put on their guard.

“Fellow Daoist, which sect are you from?” Li Hangyi, a member of the Faith of Canonization, asked.

“I was born here, and I grew up here,” Chu Xun replied calmly.

Li Hangyi and his companions changed their expressions on hearing this. They thought that Chu Xun was joking. They could understand that there were some creatures living in this lightning field, but they couldn’t believe that there were human beings living here.

“Are you kidding me?”

Li Hangyi didn’t believe Chu Xun’s words.

Chu Xun replied indifferently, “It doesn’t matter if I’m kidding or not, but I can save your life.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the remaining two sets of armor.

“These two sets of armor can protect you from being struck and injured by lightning. If you put them on, you can move freely in this area.”

Li Hangyi’s cultivation was not low, so he naturally could tell that these two sets of armor had strong defensive power.

“You won’t give them to us for free, will you?” He asked. Even a three-year-old child knew that there was no free lunch in the world.
