Chapter 193 - Death by Dismemberment!
The Immortal Emperor Returns
Chapter 193 Death by Dismemberment!
Chu Xun was heartbroken. His blood and tears dripped onto the grass.
Hua Qingwu laid peacefully among the bushes, like a sleeping beauty that would never wake up.
All this while, Chu Xun was waiting for Hua Qingwu to open her eyes suddenly and tell him with a smile that she was only pretending to sleep and that she was joking with him.
However, none of that happened.
“Look, what is that?” Someone shouted.
They saw a clear teardrop trickling down from Hua Qingwu’s eye which floated in the air. It reflected the bright sunlight like a piece of pure, magnificent azure stone.
The teardrop floated before Chu Xun’s eyes, as if it was trying to bid him farewell.
Chu Xun reached out instantly, yet he grasped nothing but air.
The teardrop disappeared in the sky in the blink of an eye.
Chu Xun zoned out while staring into the sky. Rays of red light shot out of his crimson eyes for at least 10 centimeters and one could sense his bloodlust right now.
At this moment, the bright sun was suddenly covered by thick, dark clouds. The entire sky looked as if it was being capped by a giant wok and made people feel extremely depressed and uneasy.
Swoosh!
A strong, fierce wind started blowing and dark clouds started rolling across the sky.
Everyone tucked their necks into their collars as they surprisingly felt cold. Although it was already winter, as warriors they should not be bothered by either the heat or cold, so it came as a shock that they were now feeling this cold sensation.
At this moment, everyone looked up subconsciously.
“It is snowing!”
Giant snowflakes were falling from the sky. In the freezing wind, the snow looked like white dragons in the air.
Within a short period of time, everything was covered in a white blanket. The heavy snow blocked off all routes into the mountain. One could only see vast, boundless land covered in snow.
The world had turned black and white, which looked strange and unconventional.
Chu Xun lowered his head slowly and looked at Hua Qingwu. There was no wind nor snow around him within a radius of ten meters.
He lowered his body and gently wiped away the blood stains on Hua Qingwu’s neck while holding her in his arms.
“I will bring you home once I kill them.” He said, then he kissed Huaqingwu gently on her forehead. It was the first time he took the initiative to kiss her.
However, the love of his life had passed on.
Chu Xun set up a magic formation using a magic signet and covered Hua Qingwu in it, then he stood up slowly.
...
He spat out a mouthful of blood the moment he straightened his body.
Everyone knew that was caused by his sorrow.
“Xun...” Chu Tianhe said as tears trickled down his cheeks. Self reproach was written all over his face.
Knowing that Hua Qingwu sacrificed her life to save them, Liu Ran also burst into tears.
Chu Xun was a little stunned, then he turned toward them and forced a smile that was uglier than a crying face and said, “Dad, mom, it is not your fault. It is theirs...” His voice was already hoarse.
Chu Xun disappeared before he could even finish his sentence. With the speed of lightning, he dashed toward Feng Wuying.
Feng Wuying’s expression changed immediately. Luckily, he was prepared for any circumstances, so he disappeared into the snow in an instant.
Shadowless Sect was known for their assassination skills. They were masters at stealth techniques and Acrobatic Jumping. There were barely anyone who could beat them in this area.
Chu Xun’s eyes looked like distant stars on a cold night. With True Energy surging through his palm, he raised a hand and punched with all his strength toward the sky.
The snowflakes were transformed into a snow dragon after being agitated by True Energy and it charged toward the sky with a deafening roar.
Boom!
A blood mist appeared in the sky after a muffled sound was heard. A body then fell from the sky.
That body was Feng Wuying’s. His shoulders were covered in blood and horror was displayed all over his face.
Feng Wuying’s concealing and assassination skills were invincible, yet they were defeated so easily by Chu Xun.
Chu Xun’s clothes were covered in blood as well and it made a startling contrast as he stood in the white snow covered field.
Bang!
Feng Wuying fell heavily onto the ground, shaking up the snow into the air. As a grade-seven Grandmaster, he could still withstand his injuries, so he jumped to his feet and ran toward Soul Lord and Blood Hand for protection.
Chu Xun watched him with a cold expression, then travelled at least ten meters with one single step. He caught up with Feng Wuying within only two breaths.
His punch once again set off a fierce wind with a clap of thunder.
Crack!
With the jarring sound of bones breaking, Feng Wuying let out a terrifying shriek and flew backward. His arms were twisted to an unimaginable degree.
Raising his hand, Chu Xun shot out numerous Reincarnation Lines and pinned Feng Wuying in midair.
Chu Xun’s crimson eyes grew even more malevolent. He reached out his fist and formed another snow dragon that spiraled around him, then opened his fist and waved his hand.
Amidst the blizzard, the snow dragon charged toward Feng Wuying, who was pinned in midair.
As the dragon approached him, it exploded into countless sharp crystal shards and roared past Feng Wuying’s body.
“Ahh...” Feng Wuying’s scream was like a devil’s cry.
Everyone looked to the sky to see Feng Wuying wriggling and screaming in midair. He looked thinner than before and blood started dripping from the sky.
They all shuddered at what they saw and felt cold sweat forming on their backs as they gritted their teeth.
Feng Wuying looked thinner because the numerous crystal shards were slicing the flesh off his body. Chu Xun’s plan was to dismember him!
“Ah...”
A warrior shuddered violently and flung something away immediately.
It was a thin slice of flesh with traces of blood — it came from Feng Wuying’s body.
Everyone stepped back in fear immediately.
Because a lot more slices of flesh started falling from the sky.
Everyone looked at Chu Xun in fear. “This is horrifying. He is cutting Feng Wuying into pieces, he is dismembering him!”
With a wave of Chu Xun’s hand, the snow dragon appeared and charged toward Feng Wuying once more.
Everyone heard that terrifying “puff” sound again. It sounded like a knife cutting through a leaf.
After another round of attack by the snow dragon, everyone looked up again despite their great fear.
Horrified gasps could be heard one after another and some even retched at what they saw.
Being pinned in midair, Feng Wuying already lost the strength to scream. Even more blood dripped from the sky and he was thoroughly soaked in his own blood. One could even see his crimson muscles contracting slowly.
In the next few minutes, the snow dragon kept reforming and exploding while charging toward Feng Wuying. This process was repeated numerous times.
Within this duration, everyone witnessed Feng Wuying being reduced from a complete human being into a terrifying skeleton.
His pale skeleton wriggled in the air, making a couple of horrifying “clank” sounds amidst the snowstorm.
Chu Xun raised his hand and formed giant chains using his True Energy.
Boom!
Feng Wuying’s skeleton was smashed into fine powder with only one punch, then the powder dispersed in the air.
There was a dead silence.
After his dismemberment, Feng Wuying was reduced into ashes.
The King of Assassination of this generation was now gone from this world forever.
While they were frightened by what they saw, everyone could not help but think about what they would do if they were Chu Xun. Surprisingly, they realized that if they were in his shoes, even smashing Feng Wuying into ashes would not be enough to quell their hatred.
That meant even if Feng Wuying was dead, Chu Xun’s hatred would still be there.
They looked to Soul Lord and Blood Hand to find that they had already joined Chen Wuhui, Wu Changfeng and the others.
“Let me help you.” Long Ao said, his face full of guilt and regret. He believed that since he failed to protect Hua Qingwu, he failed in the task that was given to him.
Long Ao could not be angrier at himself at this moment. He once promised Chu Xun that he would ensure that Hua Qingwu would be protected from all harm, but now... Looking at Soul Lord and Blood Hand, he felt a strong intent to kill in his heart.
Chu Xun remained expressionless, even his breath was calm and unaffected. Only those devilish, crimson eyes made everyone flinch the moment they looked at them.
“Take care of my parents.” Chu Xun said without even looking back.
He then walked toward Chen Wuhui and the others without waiting for Long Ao’s reply. He did not approach them at a terrifying speed, instead he walked slowly, making sure that every step made its print on the ground.
Amidst the blizzard, there were many people around, yet Chu Xun’s back view looked extremely lonely.
