The Immortal Emperor Returns Chapter 217 - Killing the Silver Eagle!

Chapter 217 Killing the Silver Eagle!

Swoosh!
Amidst the roaring storm, a big black figure flew above the plane, covering the sun.
The plane started shaking violently and passengers kept screaming.
The giant silver eagle dashed past the plane, then it turned and flew towards the plane again, as if it was playing around.
Tick...!
Heavy machine guns started firing, and thumb-sized bullets and smoke filled the sky.
Bullets hit the silver eagle and created sparks around it along with multiple “clangs”. Its feathers were as tough as mithril, so ordinary bullets are useless against it.
“Help... I don’t want to die...” A fat man dressed in a suit started shouting and crying.
There was crying, praying and screaming. The cabin was filled with despair.
This was because according to the past reports, passengers almost never escaped from death once a plane was targeted by a raptor.
Even though the bullets could not hurt the silver eagle, the strong impact was able to deter it from coming any closer for the time being.
Swoosh!
The silver eagle flapped its wings, and visible cyclone tore up the space, creating sounds of explosion.
Moreover, there was a silver feather beaming with light on the eagle’s belly, and it then shot out with great speed and power.
Bang!
The portion of the large-caliber machine gun that was outside the plane exploded after being hit by that silver feather.
The sturdy man firing the machine gun was blown away by the impact as well, his arms were broken by the explosion.
Silence returned to the cabin for a few seconds before horrified screaming started once again.
The heavy machine gun was destroyed, how else can they defend themselves against the silver eagle?
“We still have spare machine guns. Fire them as long as you know how to use a gun!” The sturdy man whose arms were broken said as he stood up in pain. He smashed a red button with his foot and another heavy machine gun rose up next to the destroyed one, its wide muzzle extended outside the plane.
However, no one seemed to hear the man. They were still screaming, shouting and praying mindlessly.
Without the heavy machine gun, the silver eagle let out a deafening screech. With a flap of its wings, it flew up by at least a thousand meters and dashed down again.
Judging by the silver eagle’s size and unbelievable speed, the plane will be shattered once it got hit.
Suddenly, a couple of black dots flew from afar at great speed with loud engine noises.
“Dear passengers, please remain seated and fasten your seatbelts. We have requested back up from the ground control. The back up will arrive shortly, we will make sure to send you to your destination safe and sound.”
Those black dots approached the plane along with the soothing voice of the flight attendant. Those black dots were in fact five well-equipped fighter jets.
“They even dispatched fighter jets.” Chu Xun was surprised.
Tick...!
Sparks covered the silver eagle as the fighter jets started shooting at it.
The sounds of gunfire echoed in the sky.
Chirp!
With a loud cry, the silver eagle dashed towards a fighter jet. A white line was left behind where it flew, which the strong air current was created by its unimaginable speed.
Buzz!
Instead of dodging the silver eagle, this fighter jet flew towards it with full force.
Even though the fighter jet was as big as a house, it was still just the size of the silver eagle. If it crashed into the eagle, it will surely be destroyed immediately.
However, with the excellent technique of the pilot, the fighter jet flew right past the silver eagle a few meters below its belly the moment it was about to crash into it.
Chu Xun saw clearly that something black was attached to the silver eagle’s belly the moment the jet flew past it.
The fighter jet then flew a thousand meters away from the eagle.
Boom!
Something suddenly exploded at the eagle’s belly. The fire engulfed the sky and a terrifying mushroom cloud rose up.
The silver eagle let out a painful cry and could no longer control its gigantic body. It fell from the sky with blood gushing from its belly. Its silver feathers floated in the sky.
Chirp!
The eagle’s cry sounded extremely angry. With a flip of its wings, it steadied its body and dashed towards the jet that wounded him at an incredible speed.
A large area at the eagle’s belly started emitting silver light. Multiple feathers shot out like deadly arrows towards the fighter jet, making sharp sounds as it dashed through the air.
Countless silver feathers covered the sky for a moment.
Boom!
That fighter jet had no place to run, so it was shredded into pieces by the feathers.
The silver eagle was the king of the sky, only one of its feathers was enough to be used as a broom, now that thousands of feathers were shot out altogether, there was no way that pilot could dodge them no matter how skilled he was.
Tick...!
The other four fighter jets started firing with full force. Countless bullets flew towards the silver eagle fiercely.
The silver eagle cried again in pain. It allowed the bullets to hit its body. Amidst the sparks, it flapped its wings and dashed out of the bullets again.
The silver eagle’s blood splattered in the sky from its belly. It looked like a blood rain from the point of view of those on the ground.
It became completely insane—even faster and swifter than before. It dashed in front of a fighter jet and swung its wings over it.
Boom!
A fighter jet was cut into pieces by its wings, and it then exploded into a fireball and fell from the sky.
The silver eagle was very smart. Instead of chasing after another fighter jet, it descended a hundred meters and approached the jet that attacked its belly. Its giant claws had a cold glow around them, apparently it planned to tear that jet open using those claws.
Another flash of fire appeared in the sky—another fighter jet exploded.
All the passengers in Chu Xun’s plane were trembling in fear. They were petrified by the silver eagle, for even the fighter jets seemed to be made from paper in front of the eagle.
If the remaining two fighter jets were also destroyed by the silver eagle, this passenger plane would surely be destroyed in no time as well.
Chu Xun was slightly shocked, because the silver eagle’s ability far exceeded his expectation. Not only was it extremely strong, it was also quite intelligent.
“Can you draw the silver eagle over?” Chu Xun suddenly asked.
Everyone was stunned. “What are you thinking? Do you want us to die even faster?” They thought.
The sturdy man turned and realized Chu Xun was talking to him.
Chu Xun walked over and caught the sturdy man’s arm before he could dodge. He released his arms within less than a minute, and one could hear the sounds of bones grating against each other.
The sturdy man was left speechless. He just felt a strong flow of energy gushing into his arms and his broken bones started to heal. After a short while, all the pain in his arms magically disappeared.
“Can you draw that silver eagle over?” Chu Xun asked again.
This time the sturdy man’s attitude changed completely. He was a warrior as well, so he realized he was so lucky that he just met a young but extremely powerful warrior.
“I bet the famous King of Medicine Yu Cheng can’t even heal my arms in an instant.” The man thought.
“The captain can do it, sir.”
“Tell him to do whatever he can to draw the silver eagle over.” Chu Xun said.
“Roger!” The sturdy man replied and left immediately.
“What are you trying to do, young man? Why do you want to draw that thing over? Are you trying to kill us all? You can die first if you...”
“Shut up.” Chu Xun turned his head and said coldly.
These two simple words sounded like two deafening explosions to other passengers. They all felt their mind going blank and they started seeing stars.
The middle-aged man shouting at him earlier even passed out at those two words.
“Shut up if you want to survive,” Chu Xun said calmly as he glanced around him.
The cabin became quiet immediately, with all passengers watching Chu Xun in fear, as if they were watching the silver eagle up close. Chu Xun could knock someone out by only speaking two words, so they all did not dare to say another word and controlled their breath.
The sturdy man was stunned when he returned to the cabin and saw everything, he then replied to Chu Xun, “Preparations have been made, sir.”
Chu Xun nodded slightly and looked outside the window.
Two fighter jets moved side to side and started firing towards the silver eagle.
The eagle let out a furious cry and dashed towards the fighter jets, creating strong wind in its path.
The two fighter jets then descended by two hundred meters and flew towards the passenger plane.
The silver eagle descended as well and continued chasing after the fighter jets.
The fighter jets flew past the passenger plane from below and the silver eagle was about to do the same.
The eagle was extremely fast. With fierce wind blowing around it, half of its body already went past the plane from below.
Chu Xun stood next to the window. His index finger was enveloped by a purplish mist as a purple ball of energy with the size of a table tennis ball gathered at his fingertip.
Sizzle...!
The ball of energy was small, yet it looked extremely ferocious with lightning surrounding it.
With a flick of finger, Chu Xun shot out the energy ball. It penetrated the window and went into the silver eagle’s head.
The eagle then flew hundreds of meters away. Accompanied by the sound of roaring thunder, its head with the size of a hill suddenly exploded. Its blood splattered all over the sky and its feathers floated in the air. Its gigantic body fell from the sky.
The sturdy man was petrified by the scene in front of his eyes. A small purplish energy ball killed the silver eagle that even five fighter jets could not kill.
The pilots in those two fighter jets were speechless as well as they watched the giant silver eagle falling from the sky. The jets then dashed towards the eagle.
Their country had hired numerous scientists to study these beasts so as to make use of their strengths and weaknesses. Such a giant silver eagle surely had tremendous research value, so they must make sure to take care of its corpse before sending it back for research.
“Dear passengers, the raptor had been eliminated; we will continue our flight safely!”
The soothing voice of the flight attendant was surely a heavenly sound to the passengers who just experienced such a traumatizing event. They all started celebrating immediately.𝙛𝐫𝑒𝐞𝘄ℯ𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝙚𝘭. c𝘰m
They all thought the fighter jets killed the silver eagle.
Only the sturdy man knew that Chu Xun killed it with only a flick of finger.
The plane arrived at Gujiang City safely.
“Sir...” The sturdy man caught up to Chu Xun. His face had admiration written all over it. “May I know your name?” he asked politely.
“Chu Xun!”
The sturdy man watched Chu Xun as he left, he then repeated his name twice to himself.
He logged onto Martial Tao Forum.
“Does anyone know who Senior Chu Xun is?” The sturdy man politely added the word “senior”.
“Never heard of the name,” someone replied.
“Sounds like a nobody.”
“I only know Mao Chen from Qing Yang Sect, Qin Chengzhi from Four-side Sword Sect, Duan Xiaoya from Wuya Sect, Fairy Xuan from Xiangsi Sect, and...” This person was talking about all the leaders of the uprising sects in recent years.
Some showed despise and some mocked Chu Xun’s name, yet no one had ever heard of him.
The sturdy man was slightly disappointed. Just as he was about to log out, a message caught his attention. “Why are you asking about Chu Xun?”
“Just curious. I met a very strong warrior whose name was Chu Xun,” the sturdy man answered truthfully.
“How tall is he? What does he look like?” the other person asked.
The sturdy man roughly described Chu Xun’s look, but he omitted how he killed the silver eagle with a flick of finger. It was a taboo in the Martial Tao world to reveal others’ abilities without permission.
“Two strands of white hair... so it really is him.”
Their discussion attracted more people to join.
“What do you mean? Who is this Chu Xun? Is he famous? Is he stronger than the leaders of all sects?” someone asked curiously.
“Leaders?” This comment was obviously written with disdain. The same person soon commented, “They are nothing in front of Chu the Devil.”
