The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 678 General Movements Before the Battle

The golden Buddha was destroyed by the Nine-Character Skill, but the pressure between the sky and ground didn’t disappear. With the terrible power, Ma Yanchen spat out a mouthful of blood.

His viscera, all the limbs, and even his bones were squeezed to the point of sounding. His entire body was about to explode.

“Brother Liu, stop!” Ma Shiwen shouted in panic.

Liu Tianhe was known as the Killing God. If his killing intent rose and he killed Ma Yanchen, he would be in big trouble.

Chu Xun raised his hand and removed the pressure from the Nine-Character Skill.

Ma Yanchen fell and smashed onto the ground with a boom. After a moment of relaxation, he spat out another large mouthful of blood.

Chu Xun descended from the sky, kicked Ma Yanchen to Ma Shiwen, and shouted, “Apologize to Brother Ma for your rudeness.”

Ma Yanchen’s eyes were fierce, and he remained silent.

Chu Xun raised his hand and slammed Ma Yanchen to the ground. If it weren’t for the black stone slates on the ground, Ma Yanchen would have sunk into the ground.

“As a loser, are you still proud of yourself? How dare you disrespect your senior? Apologize now!” Chu Xun bellowed.

“Don’t even think about it...” Ma Yanchen’s face was twisted.

“What’s the point of keeping you around if you are so stubborn?” Chu Xun grabbed Ma Yanchen by the neck and tightened his grip.

“Do you think I don’t dare to kill you?” Chu Xun’s grip tightened, and Ma Yanchen’s neck sounded as if it was cracking. “If it weren’t for Brother Ma, trash like you wouldn’t have been worthy of my attention.”

Ma Yanchen was imprisoned, his cultivation suppressed. His neck was grabbed by Chu Xun’s hand, and it was difficult for him to breathe. His face turned red, and blue veins stood out on his forehead.

“Brother Liu, let go...” Ma Shiwen could feel the murderous aura from Chu Xun.

Ma Yanchen could feel it too. He looked at Chu Xun and shuddered. Chu Xun’s eyes were cold with no trace of emotion. Endless killing intent spread.

He was afraid. He had a feeling that if he did not apologize today, the other party would really kill him.

Ma Yanchen couldn’t speak. He could only nod, indicating that he wanted to apologize.

“Brother Liu, he’s agreed. Please let go of him,” Ma Shiwen said anxiously.

Chu Xun snorted and threw Ma Yanchen in front of Ma Shiwen. “Apologize.”

“Uncle, I was too arrogant in the past. Please forgive me for my ignorance.” Ma Yanchen lowered his head.

“All right, I don’t blame you. Hurry back and heal up,” Ma Shiwen hastily said.

If Ma Yanchen’s injuries worsened, even he wouldn’t be able to afford it.

“The folding space is about to open. I’ll give you three days to recover and go in with me. Otherwise, you don’t have to go there,” Chu Xun said.

Ma Shiwen quickly summoned two young disciples to support Ma Yanchen to heal his injuries.

After Ma Yanchen left, an indiscernible smile appeared on Chu Xun’s face. At least four old monsters were hiding in the surroundings when he fought Ma Yanchen just now, and they left secretly now.

“Brother Liu, today, I enriched my knowledge about your actual strength,” Ma Shiwen said sincerely.

Chu Xun laughed heartily and said, “Brother Ma, I told you that I’m invincible in the Gold Immortal Realm. 30 members of our Ma Family will be among the 40 spots. I’m not bragging.”

“Haha... I believe you.” Ma Shiwen laughed, too. Chu Xun helping him regain his dignity made him feel more comfortable.

“I almost forgot that I still have a business to attend to,” Chu Xun muttered. Then, he looked at the disciples of the Ma Family who were hiding far away and shouted, “Come here. Line up.”

Chu Xun had defeated Ma Yanchen easily. How could they not be convinced? They immediately lined up in an orderly manner.

“You step forward. You will follow me into the folding space.”

“You step back. You are only in the Earth Immortal Realm and more than a thousand years old. It will be a waste of resources if I let you follow me.”

“You come out.”

Chu Xun began to select the one hundred people.

In fact, when he saw these Ma Family disciples, Chu Xun felt indescribably angry and sad in his heart.

Most of them were over a thousand years old, yet the weakest amongst them was at the initial stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.

However, on the earth, most of the people at this age were in the Human King Realm or Human-Immortal Realm, and their overall strength was far inferior.

“Damn the Assembly of Immortals! If they hadn’t destroyed the earth and exhausted its spiritual energy, the earth wouldn’t have been so far behind!”

In general, the earth was still far inferior to the combat strength of the Assembly of Immortals.

It didn’t take long for Chu Xun to choose the strongest 100 of the Ma Family disciples.

“From today on, you should practice hard. After a few days, you should follow me into the folding space to fight and kill. I promise that 30 of you can go to the earth with me. The 30 will put our Ma family’s flags on the earth and leave behind the other three top families.

“Men should slaughter everywhere and fight bravely while bathed in blood. Don’t learn from Ma Yanchen. He doesn’t have machismo and only knows how to be unreasonable at home.

“From now on, restore all of your bodily functions to their optimal state. After entering the folding space, take out your strongest state. Remember, you are not fighting for yourselves. You are fighting for the Ma Family.”

Chu Xun made some movements before the battle. Anyway, the folding space was full of Fiends. The more they killed, the better. Among the 100 disciples of the Ma Family, 30 people would follow him back to the earth, and they would die at that time.

Those who dared to encroach on the earth would be killed without mercy.

There were still three days left until the folding space opened.

On this day, Presbyter Sixth came to find Chu Xun.

“Young friend, I have witnessed your battle with Yanchen,” the Presbyter Sixth said.

“I was a little heavy-handed. Please forgive me,” Chu Xun said.

The Presbyter Sixth smiled kindly and cupped his hands together. “Young friend, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m not here to denounce you. Yanchen’s talent is astonishing, but he has never experienced any tempering. As the saying goes, jade cannot be made into anything without being cut and polished. It’s not a bad thing for him to suffer setbacks.”

“I hope he won’t hate me.” Chu Xun smiled bitterly.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already talked with him. He’s also realized his disadvantages. Thank you for that, young friend.”

“Senior is too courteous.”

“Oh, I have a question to ask you. Young friend, the martial skill you used that day is rare. May I know the name of this martial skill?”

Chu Xun’s heart skipped a beat. “Is there something wrong with the Nine-Character Skill? Or did they see something wrong?”

“Senior, I used the Nine-Character Skill yesterday. My master taught me that.”

“Nine-Character Skill?” The Presbyter Sixth narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chu Xun nodded and said, “My master said that my grandmaster brought back the martial skill from the earth in ancient times. He thought it was powerful, so he taught it to my master, and my master taught it to me.”

“Your grandmaster?”

“Yes, but I haven’t seen him before. My master said that my grandmaster had gone on a tour for tens of thousands of years without coming back,” Chu Xun lied.

The Presbyter Sixth’s expression changed slightly. “Is your grandmaster still alive?”

Chu Xun shook his head and said, “I don’t know. My master said that my grandmaster had been gone out for tens of thousands of years. I don’t know if he is alive or not.”

The Presbyter Sixth was a little unsettled. After experiencing the ancient war on the earth, all the people who had survived until now were terrible old monsters. How could the old monsters who had come back from the ancient times die so easily? Liu Tianhe’s grandmaster was probably still alive.

It seemed like they had underestimated the force behind Liu Tianhe.
