Chapter 539: Giant Desert Lizard

Chapter 539 Giant Desert Lizard

Chu Xun and Yue Jingchou strolled to the bow of the ship and looked down.

The sand below them burst open, and from inside crawled out one giant lizard after another. Each of them was more than four meters long, with their mouths wide open, revealing their sharp fangs.

Among them were a couple of lizards whose terrifying auras soared into the sky. They were definitely at the Immortal Level.

Because the lizards appeared so suddenly, a talent from the Assembly of Immortals instinctively punched one of the lizards into a pulp.

“How dare you kill the man of our Giant Lizard Race? You’re asking for it.” A lizard at the Immortal Level roared angrily.

“Those lizards are so huge! Unbelievable!” Yue Jingchou yelped.

“Shut up.” Chu Xun yelled. Since he and Yue Jingchou had disguised as each other now, Yue Jingchou should keep his voice down so as not to expose his real identity.

Xie Qingyun stepped forward and clasped his hands. “Friends from the Giant Lizard Race, I’m Xie Qingyun from the Winged race. We’re heading to the Suspended Mountain. Why did you suddenly launch a sneak attack against us?”

“So you’re from an alien race,” said the lizard at the Immortal Level. “This is our territory, so you can’t say it’s a sneak attack. And you killed my man; do you think I’ll go easy on you?”

“So what if you don’t go easy on us? Do you want to fight us?” Hei Peng walked forward with a frosty look on his face. “If you want to fight, I’m ready.”

“So am I,” Kong Changcun, who had lost one arm, chimed in coldly.

Zu Si sneered and took one step forward. “Us Assembly of Immortals also want to see your power.”

Some powerful lizards at the Immortal Level shook their huge heads and looked fearless as they said, “I’m not afraid of you guys from the Assembly of Immortals and alien races. We’ll fight until we die if you don’t give us an explanation.”

“Uncle, these lizards have guts,” Yue Fandie said.

“Unlike the Assembly of Immortals and alien races, the Giant Lizard Race is a native race on the earth, and this desert is dominated by them. The Assembly of Immortals and alien races are being so arrogant, so how could the Giant Lizard Race step back?”

“Then which side should we support?”

Chu Xun said, “Well, let’s watch them fight first. We don’t know much about the Giant Lizard Race, and we don’t know their purpose either.”

Yue Jingchou nodded. Since Chu Xun said so, so be it.

“Giant Lizard Race, do you really want to become enemies with us?” Xie Qingyun asked.

“As I said, this is our territory, and you’re not welcome here. Besides, the Suspended Mountain is in our desert. You have no right to even touch it,” one of the lizards said.

Xie Qingyun smiled. “So it turns out that you just want to stop us from going to the Suspended Mountain.”

Zu Si cupped his fists and said, “Friends from the Giant Lizard Race, it’s okay that you want to make things hard for us, but there is a man among us and I think you should at least show him some respect.”

“I don’t care who this man is. No one can touch the Suspended Mountain as long as we’re here,” another lizard at the Immortal Level said.

“Are you trying to stand in Chu Xun the Devil’s way?” Zu Si pointed to the ship in the sky with a smile.

Whoosh!

The lizards subconsciously stepped back from below the ship.

To put it bluntly, they were afraid of Chu Xun.

Even though the desert was remote, everyone there had heard of Chu Xun’s name.

“Uncle, this bastard is bluffing with your influence,” Yue Jingchou said angrily.

Chu Xun chuckled and replied, “This shows that Zu Si is smart. He can both deter the Giant Lizard Race and expand my influence by doing so. What’s more, I can’t blame him for this. He is killing two birds with one stone.”

At this moment, a giant lizard at the Immortal Level stepped forward, stood up half upright, and cupped his hands before saying, “Excuse me, is Chu Xun the Devil on the ship?”

“Uncle, what should we do now?” Yue Jingchou asked.

Chu Xun replied, “Just ignore him.”

The giant lizard waited for a while longer, but there was still no response. Then, he asked again, “Is Chu Xun the Devil on the ship?”

After a long time, there was still no reply.

The giant lizard turned to look at Zu Si and said, “You wanted to scare us off under Chu Xun the Devil’s name. How ridiculous! We all know that he has disappeared for 50 years. How could he appear here? How could he be with you?”

Zu Si looked a little grave. He had thought that Chu Xun would naturally show up after he said those words. Unexpectedly, Chu Xun pretended that he had not heard him.

“If you don’t believe me, do you dare to attack this ship?” Zu Si laughed coldly.

“Why wouldn’t I dare?” The lizard sneered. An earthen-yellow halo enveloped his body, and just as he was about to attack the ship, he saw a person looking down from the ship.

“Nice to meet you, my friends from the Giant Lizard Race,” Chu Xun said.

“Are you Chu Xun the Devil?” Asked the giant lizard.

Chu Xun nodded slightly.

The giant lizard subconsciously took a few steps back and said, “I didn’t expect it to be you. I thought that someone passed himself off as you. Please forgive me for my rudeness.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Chu Xun waved his hand.

“Chu Xun the Devil, I have something to say, but I’m wondering if I should say it now,” another giant lizard at the Immortal Level said.

“Please go ahead,” Chu Xun said.

“I’ve heard that you’ve always been an irreconcilable enemy of the Assembly of Immortals and the alien races. Why would you come here with them?”

“We are allies for the time being,” Chu Xun replied.

The members of the Giant Lizard Race looked at each other. Then, the giant lizard who had just spoken stepped forward and said, “It’s said that your fighting capability is unparalleled, and I’ve admired you for long. Today, I finally got the chance to see you, and I felt lucky. Would you like to exchange a few moves with me?”

These giant lizards might look stupid, but they were very smart, in fact. They were worried that the man in front of them was not Chu Xun but someone who was passed off as Chu Xun. Thus, they wanted to test his power.

“No problem.” Chu Xun walked down from the ship step by step with one hand behind his back, looking as if he were stepping on an invisible staircase.

Seeing this, both Zu Si and those from the Giant Lizard Race were shocked.

“Please show your move,” Chu Xun reached out and said.

The giant lizard’s aura became weaker than before. Seeing how Chu Xun got off the ship, he was a little scared of him.

“Okay.”

An earthy-yellow halo surged around the giant lizard, stirring up the sand into the sky. Then, it suddenly pounced on Chu Xun and swiped its huge claws at him.

Chu Xun still had one hand behind his back. He raised his hand and punched out lightly. However, the force behind his punch was terrifying, which directly knocked the lizard a thousand meters away.

Seeing this, all the giant lizards hurriedly retreated in fear.

The giant lizard that had been sent flying got up from the ground and flew back, saying, “Thank you for your mercy, Chu Xun the Devil.”

He knew very well that Chu Xun didn’t mean to hurt him. Otherwise, he would have been killed or disabled by that punch just now. Only by experiencing it for himself would he know how powerful Chu Xun was.

“Well, since it was just about exchanging a few moves, there was no need to hurt each other, right?” Chu Xun chuckled.

“But I really don’t understand why you allied with them. Rumor has it that the alien races and Assembly of Immortals are your irreconcilable enemies.”

Chu Xun smiled and replied, “I have no choice. They have the key to the Suspended Mountain.”

“What?”

All the giant lizards subconsciously looked towards Zu Si and his companions.

Zu Si’s face darkened. He didn’t expect Chu Xun to reveal this secret so openly.

“You also have half of the key, don’t you?” Zu Si laughed.

“Well, it hasn’t been easy for me to get the key,” Chu Xun chuckled and said.

The corners of Xie Qingyun’s lips twitched. Chu Xun’s words gave them a slap in the face because Chu Xun killed some experts of the Winged race to seize the key.

“Friends from the Giant Lizard Race, could you please let me pass?” Chu Xun asked with a smile.

The giant lizard replied, “Of course, but the alien races and Assembly of Immortals have killed my man, so they owe me an explanation.”

“That’s right. An eye for an eye. It’s reasonable.” Chu Xun nodded.

“Uncle, the meal is ready,” Yue Jingchou said on the ship. He looked at the giant lizards and said, “I am Yue Jingchou of the Sanctuary of Tetrarchy. Your man was killed by a talent from the Assembly of Immortals. It has nothing to do with my uncle. You know, we should put the saddle on the right horse. For example, a weasel from the Mustelid race had offended my uncle and was slapped to death by my uncle. Kong Changcun, a member of the Peacock race, offended my uncle and thus got one of his wings severed. You should seek revenge on the man who killed your man.”

The corners of the mouths of Zu Si and the others twitched. They secretly cursed Yue Jingchou for adding fuel to the fire, and they thought it was a lame excuse to say that the meal was ready. If they remembered correctly, Chu Xun and his men had been eating all the way. Yue Jingchou said those words to tell the Giant Lizard Race that Chu Xun would not interfere in this matter.

Chu Xun nodded at the members of the Giant Lizard Race and boarded the ship.

The giant lizards were no fool. They understood what Yue Fandie meant— Chu Xun was not on the same side as the Assembly of Immortals and the alien races.

“Brother Yue, you’re right.” The giant lizard cupped its fists.

Yue Jingchou cupped his fists as well and returned to the ship.

“Uncle, how did you know that the Giant Lizard Race would try to test you,” Yue Jingchou asked curiously.

“I’ve disappeared for fifty years, and countless people have impersonated me. Logically, the Giant Lizard Race would certainly suspect me,” Chu Xun said.

Yue Jingchou nodded. With a bitter expression, he complained, saying, “Uncle, can’t we switch identities only after we reach the Suspended Mountain? I’m going to faint if we switch identities so frequently like this. I almost talked like you just now.”

Chu Xun nodded. He was indeed inconsiderate this time. He thought that nothing would happen on the way, but to his surprise, the Giant Lizard Race appeared on their way.

“Tell them that we will be waiting for them at the Suspended Mountain,” Chu Xun said.

Yue Jingchou nodded and walked to the bow of the boat. He looked at those giant lizards and said, “Friends from the Giant Lizard Race, could you please step out of our way and let us pass first?”

The giant lizard replied, “No problem. Please go.”

After that, he motioned for the other giant lizards to step out of the way.

Yue Jingchou glanced at Zu Si. “Goodbye, Mr. Zu. I’m looking forward to meeting you on the Suspended Mountain.”

Zu Si looked solemn. He had thought that Chu Xun would protect them for the sake of the ancient ruins. After all, they had most part of the Reality Painting. They did not expect that Chu Xun did not care about them at all.

Yue Jingchou looked at Xie Qingyun and said, “Would you like to let my uncle keep the other part of the Reality Painting for the time being? After all, the painting is the key to the Suspended Mountain and should be kept well.”

“Mr. Yue...” Xie Qingyun’s face turned grave. Yue Jingchou’s words directly exposed their greatest trump card.

Yue Jingchou’s expression changed slightly. He quickly added, “I’m sorry. It’s just a slip of the tongue. There isn’t Reality Painting at all.”

With that, Yue Jingchou turned around and walked back into the ship.

“Guys, see you on the Suspended Mountain,” Chu Xun said loudly.

The ship started and covered several thousand meters in the blink of an eye, leaving Zu Si and the others gnashing their teeth in hatred.
