The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 96 Deserving More Than Death!

Qi Lu wailed in horror. He legs became impaired all of a sudden.

No one knew how Qi Lu’s legs became impaired except Chu Xun, who did it, and Hong Ling.

The crowd gathered toward Qi Lu after hearing his wail, and seeing his miserable look, they felt very happy as if they were people with psychopathology.

However, it also showed how angry people were at Qi Lu’s evil deeds. The onlookers all started to take photos and make videos of him.

However, other than Chu Xun, no one noticed that the door of the elevator opened, and a well-built, dark-skinned man who had a crew cut and wore camouflage clothes and combat boots walked in.

The man had sharp and bright eyes, his temples bulged slightly, and his aura was wild.

The man walked to the crowd, and with a single hand, he lifted a man who was taking photos by the back of his neck and threw him heavily on the ground.

Bang!

“Crack...”

Sounds of bone-cracking echoed after a loud bang, and the man who was thrown onto ground passed out without even letting out a groan, blood flowing down from the corner of his mouth.

Alarmed by the loud sound, others all turned back quickly, only to see the man with a crew cut pick up the phone on the ground, hold it tightly, and then loosen his grip.

The crowd stepped back several steps in fear.

That was because the man crumbed the phone with bare hands, and it frightened the crowd even to think of the grip falling on their bodies.

“Brother...” The terrified and panic-stricken Qi Lu felt both happy and sad seeing the man with a crew cut.

The latter was no other than Qi Lu’s elder brother, Qi Huang, the chief commander of the special forces of the country and a major general who had a license to kill.

At the age of five, Qi Huang was picked out by a wandering Taoist and became his disciple. Since then, Qi Huang traveled all over the country with the Taoist and challenged all kinds of experts until he returned home at the age of 25. After that, he joined the special forces of the country and became a major general with countless achievements in three years.

Qi Huang grinned, his teeth white and chilling.

Most of the people present had recognized Qi Huang and knew he was a tough guy. After returning to Gujiang City from wandering around, Qi Huang went to the doors of all the famous boxers and Taekwondo masters to challenge them to fights.

The most well-known combat of him was that he beat Piao Enhao, a Taekwondo master from another country, to death with one punch. He, thus, became famous.

Seeing that Qi Huang injured a man as soon as he appeared, the people present could not help but feel frightened. Some people even tried to run away stealthily.

“I’ll break the legs of those who dare to flee.”

The crowd trembled in fear after hearing Qi Huang’s words, and those who planned to flee immediately gave up the idea.

“You killed him?” Qi Huang stared at Qi Lu, pointing at Manager Zhang, who died in a scary way.

“He conspired against me with outsiders, so he deserves more than death,” Qi Lu said in a tone of resentment.

“Tell me what happened.” Qi Huang did not go to check Qi Lu’s legs. Instead, he sat down with his legs crossed, looking like he was ready to listen to Qi Lu’s story.

Qi Lu gnashed his teeth and started to tell him the whole story.

Of course, he did not mention his dirty thoughts on Hong Ling but lied that Hong Ling seduced him and worked with Chu Xun and Manager Zhang to frame him.

Qi Huang looked up at Hong Ling and said with a grin, “She is indeed beautiful.”

Hong Ling took two steps backward. Qi Huang’s eyes were so aggressive that she felt he saw through her mind.

Qi Huang shifted his gaze to Chu Xun and frowned, but he soon smoothed his knitted brows.

“Brother, catch this bitch and this bastard. I’ll let them suffer unbearable pains.” Qi Lu’s eyes looked vicious, and the malevolence in his tone was extremely chilling.

“Does retribution really exist in the world?”

Just as everyone thought that the enraged Qi Huang would go to deal with Chu Xun and Hong Ling, he suddenly uttered the words.

“You’re my younger brother, and I know you well. She didn’t seduce you at all, and the fact is you were blinded by lechery. Given the sins you committed these years, I should crush your balls...”

“Brother...” Qi Lu looked at Qi Huang, his biological elder brother, in disbelief.

“That’s enough. To put it bluntly, you only have yourself to blame for what happened to you. It’s good that you’ll have to stay at home with impaired legs, lest you’ll go out to hurt innocent girls,” said Qi Huang with a big smile.

Everyone was surprised to hear the words. They wondered why the ever-overbearing Qi Huang would become so magnanimous.

“However, even though you’re a bastard, you’re still my brother. Not all people have the right to plot against the descendants of the Qi Family, so...” Qi Huang stood up, like a lion who woke up from sleep, and his aura became aggressive. Staring at Chu Xun, he said word by word, “How do you want to die?”

The people present all felt frightened. Qi Huang finally showed his true colors—a domineering and arrogant Qi Huang, who would question others how they would like to be killed. No one doubted that Qi Huang would kill for he had done so before. Having killed more than one person, he still lived safe and sound.

Hong Ling looked pale and felt depressed by Qi Huang’s aura.

Chu Xun chuckled and took one step forward.

Hong Ling immediately felt the pressure on her fade away like tides.

Qi Huang observed Chu Xun with amazement, curiosity, and confusion in his eyes.

“If the price of the latter two pieces of the jade is 800 million yuan each, then your younger brother will owe me 240 million yuan. Since you’re his elder brother, how about you pay me for him?” Chu Xun said flatly with a calm expression.

The onlookers were astonished and wondered if Chu Xun wanted to die sooner, for he tried to settle accounts with Qi Huang when Qi Huang asked him how he would like to die.

Qi Huang was slightly surprised but soon grinned, saying, “Interesting!”

“Are you thinking about repudiating your debt?” asked Chu Xun.

Qi Huang smiled even more brightly as he replied loudly, “Yes, you’re right.”

Qi Huang was so arrogant that he neither tried to conceal his intention nor lowered his voice. He even didn’t avoid the topic but talked loudly that he was going to repudiate the debt and others could do nothing to him, without his face turning blushed or his heart beating any faster.

No one felt surprised, and instead, they laughed at Chu Xun for he was so naive.

Qi Huang was a man who would never allow himself to suffer any loss. As the onlookers saw it, Chu Xun had better not take the money, or he would be killed before he could spend the money.

“You have two choices. Leave the woman here and apologize to my younger brother and the Qi Family,” Qi Huang said with barely suppressed killing intent. Killing was nothing serious to him.

“What about the other choice?” Chu Xun asked with interest.

“I’ll kill you, and by then, she would have to stay here as well, and you...”

Before Qi Huang could finish his words, a light puffing sound echoed in the place, followed by shrill screams.

Qi Huang’s expression changed dramatically before he turned around.

He turned back, only to see Qi Lu lying on the floor with a knife stabbed into his heart.

The crowd dispersed quickly like tides, and only a beautiful female attendant stayed where she was, with a relieved expression on her face.

Chu Xun looked at the female attendant in astonishment. Delicate, slender, and without any fluctuation of Internal Breath in her, the woman appeared to be an ordinary woman.

Yet, this ordinary woman actually managed to kill Qi Lu in front of everyone.

Even Chu Xun did not notice when she acted.

Boom!

A strong killing intent emitted from Qi Huang’s body.

That someone actually killed his brother under his nose enraged Qi Huang badly. His eyes were full of killing intent, and no matter who did it, he would kill him.

Boom!

The floor under Qi Huang’s feet was cracked, and he neared the female attendant in the blink of an eye. He slashed toward the woman’s neck from behind, with his hand as sharp as a blade, causing a sharp whooshing sound in the air.

The strike could even tear steel apart, let alone a woman’s thin neck.

Boom!

A white hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stopped Qi Huang’s slashing hand. After that, a strong power wave erupted and threw Qi Huang backward.

As Qi Huang kept falling backward, each step he took would cause the floor to crack with its surface looking like cobwebs.

After he regained his balance, his eyes narrowed sharply.

“You’re indeed not simple,” said Qi Huang in a cold tone.

“Yes, but you’re too simple,” Chu Xun replied indifferently and withdrew his hand gently.

A threatening aura instantly emitted from Qi Huang’s body, causing the air around him to distort. He looked like a sharp sword that was just unsheathed, seemingly ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

However, Chu Xun seemed not to feel it. He turned around and raised his eyebrows at the female attendant, saying, “Why did you kill him?”

If he had not sensed that she was just an ordinary woman, he would have thought that she killed Qi Lu just to frame him.

“Because he deserves it. He is a bastard, and even death would not expiate all his crimes. He is a cruel brute. How I wish I could slice his meat and feed them to dogs...” the female attendant’s voice was filled with boundless hatred, sounding like there was a blood feud between them.

“Could you please tell me what he had done to you. If he really deserves his death as you said, I’ll protect you,” said Chu Xun.

After staring at Chu Xun silently for a long while, the female attendant gnashed his teeth. “Since I’ll be killed anyway, I may as well take a risk telling him. This mysterious man may be able to save me.” she thought to herself.

Having made up her mind, she started to tell her story slowly.

The woman was named Li Kexin, and she had a sister who was two years old younger than her and was named Li Kele.

Two years ago, she was a junior student in a college, while her sister was a freshman in a college. To lighten the burden of their family, the two sisters found a part-time job in Qitian Jewelry.

Li Kexin was a reserved and introverted girl.

On the contrary, her sister was a beautiful and outgoing girl who loved to smile and always treated others friendly.

However, misfortune fell on them suddenly.

The lovely Li Kele caught Qi Lu’s attention, who ganged up with his evil friends, drugged her and raped her by turns.

After that, they took the poor girl to rural areas, locked her in a villa, and tortured her arbitrarily.

Then, one day, when they got bored of her, they sold her to Africa secretly.

Li Kexin and her family tried every means to look for Li Kele, yet they did not get any news of her.

Several months ago, just when they thought that Li Kele might have died and did not hold any hope of finding her, she called them.

...

Li Kele told them everything that happened to her on the phone.

However, when they finally found her, she was dead. The coroner told them that Li Kele was addicted to drugs and affected with HIV.

Li Kexin’s parents could not take such a blow and fell ill, never getting well again.

Li Kexin sold their house and held her father’s funeral. She decided to continue her job in Qitian Jewelry, waiting for a chance to take revenge.

As Qi Lu was always surrounded by his bodyguards wherever he went, Li Kexin didn’t get any chance after several months in waiting, until today.

When she saw a chance just now, she stabbed into his heart without hesitation.

“I see. He did deserve his death.” Hong Ling looked at Qi Lu’s dead body with ressentiment and disgust in her eyes.

Human beings could feel for others. The people in the venue all became silent upon hearing Li Kexin’s words and agreed that Qi Lu deserved his death.

Qi Huang furrowed his eyebrows after hearing the words. He looked down at Qi Lu and said, “I’ve heard that you’re a cruel brute, but I didn’t expect you to be so disgusting. If you were still alive, I would kill you with my hands as well.”

When he finished his words, he bowed toward Li Kexin and said in a sincere tone, “I know it’s no use to say anything, but I still want to say sorry to you for this bastard, and I hope you can forgive him.”

Before Li Kexin could reply, Qi Huang straightened up and scanned around before saying, “Qi Lu is a ruthless bastard. As his elder brother, I have to apologize to you for him though I don’t want to have a brother like him.”

“For what he did, I’m willing to apologize to you, but to protect the reputation of the Qi Family, I have to kill you all the same.”

Qi Huang shot a sharp gaze at Li Kexin.
