The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 22 - This Ranking Is Too Unreliable!

Chapter 22 This Ranking Is Too Unreliable!

The eyes of the man in black looked cruel and ferocious, like a viper.

Even though Sun Ying had the life-saving Jade Card, he could not help but feel a chill and subconsciously shivered.

“Swoosh!”

The man in black moved and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When he appeared again, he had stood in front of Sun Ying and punched toward him.

Ripples appeared out of the thin air; the life-saving Jade Card showed its power. The man’s palm that was aimed at Sun Ying was blocked thereby.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, the black-clothed man’s expression suddenly changed, and his body fell backward.

After landing on the ground, the black-clothed man had a gloomy and terrified expression in his eyes. His arms trembled slightly.

Sun Ying wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He was scared just now. The man in black was so fast that he didn’t even have time to react.

“Interesting!”

The black-robed man’s voice was hoarse, and his eyes began to look eager, with a greedy expression on his face.

He had discovered that something about Sun Ying was weird when he hid in the dark. The just palm he threw out was only a trial.

It seemed that his guess was right. Sun Ying indeed had a treasure with him.

The man in black thought that such an extraordinary treasure should belong to him.

“Swoosh!”

The man in black moved again, and this time, his target was Chen Hanlong.

He believed that as long as he caught Chen Hanlong, Sun Ying would hand over the treasure obediently.

“Brother Long, be careful!”

Sun Ying roared hurriedly and rushed toward Chen Hanlong, trying to stop the man in black.

However, the man in black was so fast that he appeared in front of Chen Hanlong almost in the blink of an eye.

Chen Hanlong’s hands and feet went cold. He could not struggle against the man in black at all.

The other members of the Dragon Eagle Gang did not react toward the situation at all.

The man in black grabbed toward Chen Hanlong’s neck quickly with his hands in the shape of claws.

“Stop!”

Sun Ying roared desperately with his eyes widely opened in anger.

The man in black turned to look at him with strong disdain in his eyes.

Chen Hanlong’s face looked pale. He knew that he might not be able to survive this time.

The man in black almost caught Chen Hanlong’s neck with his hands.

However, at this moment, a white palm appeared. With the fingers placed together as a blade, the palm waved gently.

“Swish!”

There seemed to be a sound of blade chopping tofu.

The man in black felt that his hand was out of control and he couldn’t feel his own hand anymore.

“Clap!”

A broken palm fell to the ground, making a light sound.

The man in black looked blankly at the broken palm on the ground and then looked at his own wrist. His hand was cut off.

“Is the broken palm on the ground mine?

“How did my hand break?

“Why can’t I feel any pain? Why does it not bleed?”

.

Before the man in black could figure it out, unbearable pain spread through his whole body from the broken wrist, and he twitched as if he had been in a spasm.

“Ahh...”

The man in black couldn’t help but scream miserably.

With the scream, blood gushed out from his broken wrist and splashed all over Chen Hanlong.

Chen Hanlong shivered as the blood fell on him. He looked aside and said with ecstasy, “Sir.”

Sun Ying also shouted with ecstasy, “Sir.”

Chu Xun nodded slightly and then threw out a palm gently.

“Bang!”

As if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, the man in black spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward before falling on the ground more than ten meters away.

All the members of the Dragon Eagle Gang were petrified on the spot.

They had seen Chu Xun before, and they also had seen Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying treat Chu Xun with great respect.

They didn’t understand it before.

Now, they finally got to understand it.

In their eyes, the man in black was like an unrivaled devil.

However, Chu Xun easily beat the demon whom they thought unrivaled into a dead dog.

How powerful was Chu Xun?

Now, everyone changed their attitude and all looked at Chu Xun with respectful and fearful eyes.

“Are you all right?” Chu Xun asked.

Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying shook their heads at the same time and then looked at the dead members of the Dragon Eagle Gang sadly.

“Who are they?” Chu Xun looked at the dead men in white and asked.

“They are from the Bai Family,” Sun Ying said fiercely.

A sharp light flashed within Chu Xun’s eyes. He was being careless this time. He had known that the Bai Family would not meet his demand easily, but he had not expected that they would attack the headquarters of the Dragon Eagle Gang.

“Who is he?” Chu Xun looked at the man in black and asked.

If he had arrived later, Chen Hanlong would have been dead long ago.

Chen Hanlong shook his head and told Chu Xun what had happened after the appearance of the man in black.

After hearing the words, Chu Xun was lost in thought.

Right then, the man in black, who had fallen on the ground more than ten meters away, suddenly bounced up and rushed toward the outside.

No one had expected that the man in black still had power to escape.

Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying thought it unbelievable even more. They could not believe that the man in black still had strength to escape after he broke off one of his wrists and received a strike from Chu Xun.

However, Chu Xun seemed to have expected this. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he disappeared instantly from where he stood.

“Bang!”

The man in black, who was fleeing hurriedly, fell backward again.

Chu Xun appeared beside the man in black, with mockery in his eyes.

“Answer my questions and don’t think about escaping, otherwise, you’ll die faster.”

The man in black looked terrified, and there was still blood gushing out from his broken wrist.

The man in black had always been confident about his speed, but he could not figure out what had happened just now.

He didn’t see how Chu Xun appeared in front of him at all.

The man in black knew that the young man in front of him was much more powerful than him.

On hearing Chu Xun’s words, the man in black nodded. He had given up the idea of running away. He only begged in his heart that after he answered the question, Chu Xun would spare his life.

“Who are you?” Chu Xun asked.

“Black Lotus,” the man in black replied, with a hint of pride in his tone.

Chu Xun looked puzzled.

“Are you Black Lotus?”

“The man who ranks 10th on Dark Ranking?”

Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying exclaimed one after another.

.

Noticing Chu Xun’s puzzled eyes, Chen Hanlong hurriedly explained, “Sir, there is something you don’t know. This man, Black Lotus, is a killer. He ranks 10th on Dark Ranking.”

“What’s Dark Ranking?” Chu Xun asked in confusion.

“Dark Ranking is the ranking of the killers in our Hua Country. In fact, it’s a tool for the rich people...”

Chen Hanlong explained in detail.

Upon hearing the words, Chu Xun understood that Dark Ranking was actually a website on the Internet which specialized in solving problems for rich people.

Of course, this website was not open to the public, and only a few rich and powerful people from all walks of life knew about it. Ordinary people could not afford to pay for the bonus, which was a huge amount of money.

Chu Xun shook his head disdainfully and said, “Are you saying that this person is ranked 10th on Dark Ranking?”

Chen Hanlong didn’t understand why Chu Xun asked that, but he still nodded.

Chu Xun sneered and said, “It seems that this Dark Ranking is so unreliable. How could such a person rank tenth on it?”

Originally, he was very interested in Dark Ranking, but after hearing Chen Hanlong’s words, he lost his interest in it.

The corners of the black-clad man’s eyes twitched. He was indeed ranked 10th on Dark Ranking, only that he was too unlucky to meet Chu Xun, such a freak, that day.

Chu Xun asked no more questions.

Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying were also silent.

There was no need to question more. As Black Lotus was a killer, he took an action of course because he was paid.

It seemed that someone posted the task of killing them on the website of Dark Ranking.

Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying looked terrible for it was no funny thing to be targeted by the killers on Dark Ranking.

Sun Ying signaled one of his underlings to bring his laptop over.

“Brother Long, you know this website, don’t you? Log in and have a look on this website,” Sun Ying said.

Chen Hanlong nodded, turned on the laptop, and entered the website.

The screen of the laptop flashed, and a blood-red word “Kill” appeared in their sight.

The website was very simple for there was only a ranking of killers and task options on it.

Chen Hanlong clicked the task options and almost threw the laptop away.

“Sir.” he exclaimed.

Chu Xun also saw it.

It turned out that the first task in the taskbar was to kill Chu Xun with an reward as much as 100 million yuan.

Name: Chu Xun.

Age: 21.

Height: 180 centimeters.

...

The one who posted the task seemed to know Chu Xun very well. All the information of Chu Xun was described in detail, including his cultivation level, the fact that he was discharged from prison recently, and that he killed an amateur killer halfway after he was discharged from prison.

However, in the last column, it said that the risk level of the task was unknown.

Moreover, it showed that someone had taken the task.

Chu Xun was expressionless, but actually, he was not as calm as he looked. It seemed that the one who framed him into prison took an action again.

Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying looked shocked. How could Chu Xun, whom they respected as a god, have once been in prison?

The news was simply nonsense to them because they thought it was too ridiculous.

Who was so capable to put an immortal in prison?

They dared not to ask Chu Xun about it since Chu Xun was silent.

Chen Hanlong continued to look for the tasks of assassinating him and Sun Ying.

Sure enough, in the end of the bar, someone offered 5 million to kill him and Sun Ying.

“Sir, look.” Chen Hanlong pointed to the date below the task.

Chu Xun had seen it himself even if Chen Hanlong had not pointed it out.

The task of assassinating him and that of assassinating Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying were released on the same day.

Chu Xun thought for a moment and immediately understood that the one who framed him wanted to kill his right-hand men.

In general, Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying almost died that night all because of him.

Chu Xun’s heart was surging with rage.

“Boom!”

He punched the ground, which cracked.

Everyone present gasped in shock.

Chu Xun’s punch went straight through the body of the man in black, leaving a pit on the ground.

Rage kept gathering in Chu Xun’s heart, and he had an impulse to kill wildly.

“Since you’re looking for death, I’ll personally send you to hell.”

Chu Xun’s breath was fierce and frightening.

“Let me start with you, the Bai Family!”

“Bring Bai Ze here,” Chu Xun said.

Soon, two members of the Dragon Eagle Gang brought Bai Ze over.

At the moment, Bai Ze looked as miserable as a beggar, and his eyes were dull. The five fingers of his right hand were missing, and his wounds were wrapped in white gauze roughly.

After the two men of the Dragon Eagle Gang released their grip, Bai Ze knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, saying, “Please... please let me go, I beg you. I’ll give you whatever you want. I’ll give you money, a lot of money. Please let me go...”

Bai Ze was apparently mentally collapsed.

Placing his hands on Bai Ze’s shoulders, Chu Xun gathered True Energy inside his palms and formed a ball about the size of an egg. After that, he struck the ball of energy into Bai Ze’s body.

People around were unaware of all this.

“Let him go,” Chu Xun took back his hands and said.

Bai Ze suddenly looked up at Chu Xun in disbelief.

Titan stepped forward and moved his lips, but he didn’t say anything in the end.

Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying looked at each other and saw the confusion in the each other’s eyes.

Nevertheless, they would only obey Chu Xun’s order.

“Piss off, now!” Sun Ying kicked Bai Ze

Bai Ze trembled and looked overjoyed. He never dreamed that these people would let him go.

“Thanks, thanks...”

Bai Ze kept kowtowing around, and got his forehead scraped. Then, he got up and ran away wildly.

Everyone was surprised that Bai Ze still could run so fast even though he was badly tortured.

They did not know that Bai Ze only hoped that he could have two more legs.
