The Immortal Emperor Returns Chapter 23 Lost All His Five Fingers!

In less than an hour, nearly a hundred people died in this battle.

Looking at the dead bodies that covered the ground, even Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying, two experienced gangsters, felt numb all over their scalps.

As they were in an underground gang, they had seen many battles and killing.

However, it was the first time that they had seen a hundred people die at a time like this.

They estimated that the Bai Family must have everything well-planned before they launched the attack; otherwise, the government would have been alarmed by the battle.

Sun Ying looked at Chen Hanlong for help.

Chen Hanlong also felt helpless. He did not know how to deal with these corpses either, so, he couldn't help but look at Chu Xun for help.

"Are these men reliable?"

Chu Xun referred to the members of the Dragon Eagle Gang surrounding them.

"Rest a.s.sured, sir. They are all the core members of the Dragon Eagle Gang. They are absolutely reliable."

Chu Xun nodded slightly.

He asked the question because what he was going to do next was too shocking.

Once it was let out, he was afraid that it would bring danger to Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying.

"Tell them put the dead bodies together," Chu Xun said.

Under Sun Ying's order, the members of the Dragon Eagle Gang acted quickly. Soon, the corpses were piled up as high as a small hill, which made people feel chill.

Then, Chu Xun signaled that the members of the Dragon Eagle Gang could leave.

Soon, there was only Chu Xun, Chen Hanlong, and Sun Ying in the place.

Chu Xun stepped forward and walked around the corpses.

Chu Xun's figure began to become ethereal, and his footsteps were in a strange rhythm, looking as if he were dancing.

At first, Chu Xun walked very fast, and gradually, his pace slowed down.

In the end, Chu Xun seemed to be stuck in a swamp, and his pace became extremely slow as if he had carried objects over five hundred kilograms on his feet.

He was performing the Ninth Heaven Burning Formation, which was a very destructive formation.

All the formations could be divided into nine levels, and the higher the level was, the more powerful the formation was. It required a high cultivation to perform a formation.

The Ninth Heaven Burning Formation was of the second level.

With Chu Xun's current power, it was too difficult for him to set up a second-level formation.

Chu Xun's face became pale, and beads of sweat covered his forehead. It would only take a few more steps to finish building the formation; however, Chu Xun's foot that suspended in the air failed to land on the ground.

Chen Hanlong and Sun Ying did not understand what Chu Xun was doing.

Nevertheless, judging from Chu Xun's difficult situation of walking around the corpses, they knew what he was doing must have something to do with these corpses.

"Boom!"

As Chu Xun finally stepped down on the ground, there was a frightening sound, which sounded like a m.u.f.fled thunder.

He still had two steps to walk before he could finish building the Ninth Heaven Burning Formation.

If Chu Xun failed to took these two steps, he would be backfired.

His face was getting paler and paler, his body was tottering, and one of his feet was hanging in the air, as if there were an invisible force that prevented him from putting down the foot.

Chu Xun's cheeks bulged, indicating that he clenched his teeth.

However, his eyes remained calm.

"Boom!"

Finally, he took another step forward.

This time, the sound he made was even more terrifying, and the entire ground shook violently with his move.

He still needed to take one step forward.

The True Energy in his body was running wildly.

Chu Xun's eyes remained calm and dignified.

"Ninth Heaven Burning Formation, start!"

Chu Xun roared, and his foot that was in the air stepped down.

"Boom!"

The moment the foot landed on the ground, the crimson flames rose into the sky from where he pa.s.sed.

Each flame was like a fire dragon, and the air was refined, making "cracking noises".

The fire dragons were connected together to form a huge hemisphere, which wrapped the corpse pile.

Chen Hanlong looked dull, staring at the huge fireball in front of him blankly.

Sun Ying looked even worse. His body trembled slightly, and he didn't even know that he was drooling with his mouth open.

Chu Xun's face was pale, but he remained calm.

The huge fireball burned for about three minutes before it suddenly died down. Then, it disappeared from the thin air with the pile of corpses, leaving nothing behind.

"Goo!"

Sun Ying swallowed subconsciously.

Chen Hanlong's face was as pale as a sheet, and his lips kept trembling.

What had they gone through just now?

A huge fireball suddenly appeared.

Nearly a hundred corpses disappeared into thin air in less than three minutes.

What was even weirder was that they did not feel the slightest heat from such a large fireball.

Though they had long regarded Chu Xun as a G.o.d, they still wondered if a G.o.d could achieve this.

Almost at the same time, they came up with an idea—Maybe Chu Xun was more terrifying than a G.o.d!

The hall of the Bai Family was still brightly lit in the midnight.

"Brother, the guards have gone for so long. Why haven't they returned yet?"

Bai Renjie looked irritable.

That afternoon, they received a parcel, in which there was a b.l.o.o.d.y finger with a note.

On the note, it wrote, "Bring 500 million yuan and w.a.n.g Song here in exchange for Bai Ze."

Seeing that finger, Bai Renjie almost fainted on the spot. Bai Ze was his only son.

Just as they were discussing how to deal with it, they received a finger of Bai Ze every hour.

They discussed it over and over again but failed to come up with a plan to deal with it.

In the end, Great Elder Master Bai decided to send their guards to attack the Dragon Eagle Gang at night.

They were confident that as long as they sent out their guards, wiping out the small Dragon Eagle Gang would be as easy as falling off a log.

They had originally planned to attack the gang at four o'clock at night.

However, later, they received a b.l.o.o.d.y finger every hour.

When they received the fifth finger, the Bai Family could no longer be calm and launched an attack in advance.

Bai Ren'an glanced at his watch and said confidently, "Don't worry! After all, the Dragon Eagle Gang is not a small gang. It may be a little tough to deal with it. The guards have gone for only an hour, so, don't worry and just wait for the good news."

The Bai Family didn't know that the guards they sent out were actually on the way to h.e.l.l.

Bai Renjie stood up irritably and kept making calls.

"Still can't get through?"

Great Elder Master Bai, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and asked.

Bai Renjie suppressed his anxiety and nodded.

"It shouldn't be so!" Great Elder Master Bai frowned.

"Father, Second Brother, don't worry. Since the guards have gone to deal with them, the small Dragon Eagle Gang couldn't make any trouble. The guards brought signal s.h.i.+elding machine with them when they set off, so it's natural their phones are disconnected. I guess all the people in the headquarters of the Dragon Eagle Gang are dead now, and the guards may be dealing with their bodies now," Bai Ren'an took a sip of tea and said in a confident tone.

Great Elder Master Bai nodded and thought that Bai Ren'an was right.

Time ticked by.

Just as Bai Renjie was about to lose his cool, a bodyguard of the Bai Family knocked on the door.

"Young Master Bai Ze is back!"

Bai Renjie stood up quickly and looked out the door. However, he didn't see Bai Ze, so he asked eagerly, "Where is he?"

The bodyguard hesitated for a moment before replying, "Young Master Bai Ze is injured, and Dr. Li is helping him with his wounds."

"I have to see him!" Bai Renjie couldn't wait any longer and hurried out of the hall.

"Is Bai Ze seriously injured?" Bai Ren'an asked, with unknown meaning hidden in his eyes.

"The five fingers of Young Master Bai Ze's right hand are cut off. I'm afraid, in the future..."

Though the bodyguards didn't finish his words, everyone present knew that Bai Ze was a disabled man now.

Bai Ren'an's eyes glittered as he said unhurriedly, "Luckily, he survived."

Great Elder Master Bai glanced at his eldest son and sighed slightly.

Since ancient times, there was no such a thing like kins.h.i.+p in wealthy and powerful families.

In fact, Great Elder Master Bai knew that his three sons were not as intimate as they appeared.

The reason why they were still in harmony was that he was still alive.

He knew that his other two sons were unconvinced about his decision of having Bai Ren'an as the family leader.

He also knew that these two sons all pinned their hopes on their next generation since they were not destined to be the family leader, and that they were trying their best to train their sons.

He had taken in the open strife and secret struggle between his three sons, but as long as it did not endanger the Bai Family's foundation, he would turn a blind eye to it.

Besides, without a cruel selection, how could he know who was the best choice for the family leader?

It remained true that one without extraordinary talent and going through hard struggles could not reach a peak.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Great Elder Master Bai stood up and walked out. After all, Bai Ze was his grandson. Even though rich and powerful families had little blood ties, they were families anyway.

Bai Ren'an and Bai Renxiong also stood up, and they exchanged a glance.

Bai Ren'an smiled gently and walked out briskly.

Bai Renxiong's expression was a little complicated. He realized that his elder brother was becoming more and more sinister.

If it had not been that he was unwilling to give w.a.n.g Song out in the excuse of defending the Bai Family's reputation and thus delayed the matter for five hours, Bai Ze would not have lost all the fingers of his right hand.

Bai Renxiong shook his head and followed Bai Ren'an out.

In the side hall of the Bai Family, Bai Ze cried and howled bitterly.

Doctor Li was a special doctor with excellent medical skills and was hired by the Bai Family.

However, he felt helpless toward Bai Ze's situation.

Blood kept oozing out from Bai Ze's hand where his fingers were cut off. Doctor Li tried all kinds of hemostatic methods, which did not work out.

Blood oozed from Bai Ze's wounds very slowly, but Doctor Li did not know why he could not stop the wounds from bleeding.

"Doctor Li, how is he now? Why can't we stop his wounds from bleeding?" Bai Renjie asked patiently.

If it were another doctor, he would have scolded him.

However, he could not treat Doctor Li like this because the doctor was hired by Great Elder Master Bai from Country M. Dr. Li had a great medical attainment and had won many international prizes.

Doctor Li frowned and looked solemn. He had been a doctor for more than ten years, so, he had seen all kinds of symptoms. However, now, he had difficulty in stanching a small wound.

It was hard for him, who was very proud of himself, to accept. Because he was racking his brains for all kinds of solutions, he did not hear Bai Renjie's words.

Seeing that his son was badly wounded, Bai Renjie was on the verge of losing his temper. He could not help but yell, "Doctor Li, how is my son?"

Doctor Li woke up from his meditation, and he felt a chill when he saw Bai Renjie's ferocious expression. Though the Bai Family was polite to him, he was an outsider after all and dared not to take it lightly.

He said with shame, "Young Master Bai Ze's wound is a little strange. I have tried many methods, but still can't stop the bleeding."

Bai Renjie grabbed Dr. Li by the collar. His face twisted and looked scary. He roared, "Didn't you call yourself a medical saint? Why can't you do a thing as simple as stanching a wound? Do you really think I'm so good-tempered?"

Doctor Li was scared into speechless by Bai Renjie's ferocious look.

"Dad, save me, I don't want to die..." Bai Ze looked dispirited. He had been tortured by t.i.tan for several hours and had been bleeding all the way. If it continued to go on like this, he would definitely die of bleeding.

"Don't worry, Xiaoze. I won't watch you die. I'll send you to the hospital right away."

At this time, Great Elder Master Bai, Bai Ren'an, and Bai Renxiong came in one after another.

"Renjie, let go of Doctor Li!"

Seeing that Bai Renjie grabbed Doctor Li by the collar, Bai Ren'an yelled at him.

Bai Renjie's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked as if he had not heard Bai Ren'an's words.

"Second Brother, take it easy. Let go of Doctor Li first." Bai Renxiong stepped forward to dissuade him.

"p.i.s.s off! We don't need a quack who even don't know how to stanch a wound."

Bai Renjie roared angrily.
