Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Night Emperor, How Long Will It Take You to Defeat the Enemy?

Deep in the desert, the grueling battle was over!

In this battle, all the remnants of the Celestial Demons were turned to ash.

Qin Tianxuan had suffered two hundred and twenty-seven wounds, both large and small, yet he remained standing atop a sand dune, the combat knife in his hand still gleaming.

He had not fallen. His blade remained!

All around him, the Night Emperor’s Nine Armies knelt.

Absolute reverence!

Awe that sprang from the depths of their souls!

This man had once again performed a miracle!

He alone had held back forty thousand Celestial Demon remnants, standing tall on the battlefield for seven hours without falling!

Among all the heroes in the world, who else could have done this?

Qin Tianxuan stood impassively, the blood on his body a mix of his own and his enemies’.

Lingsu, the leader of the Celestial Medicine Hall, treated his wounds while crying.

”Silly girl, what are you crying for? I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?” Qin Tianxuan’s complexion slowly returned to normal as he emerged from his endless killing intent, even managing a joke.

His worried subordinates around him burst into cheers.

Qin Tianxuan looked out at the blood-soaked desert, and his expression darkened again. ”In this battle, the great leader of the Celestial Demons, that Celestial Demon King, still managed to escape!”

The last time they’d moved to exterminate the Celestial Demons, it was because the Demon King escaped that such a hidden threat remained.

And this time, that bastard escaped again!

”Besides me, there’s probably no one in all of Da Xia who can stand against the Demon King. He’s still a lingering threat!”

Qin Tianxuan felt a tinge of regret. If they had killed the Celestial Demon King, the Northern Domain would have truly known peace.

”Clean up the battlefield! Tally the casualties! Update the merit logs! Provide for the families of our fallen brothers!”

Qin Tianxuan refocused his thoughts, issuing one command after another. He changed into a new set of combat gear. ”We’re going to the Northern Domain Battle Department now!”

Meanwhile, at the Northern Domain Battle Department, they had no idea that the Celestial Demons had already been completely wiped out.

The Qin Family, the Ye Family, and the six great Celestial Kings who had rushed over were arguing nonstop!

As for the young lady of the Ye Family, Ye Xuanxuan, she had left long ago.

She’d heard that the Night Emperor had arrived and ran straight to the second line of defense to greet her idol.

She had missed him completely.

Because Qin Tianxuan had led the Five Palaces and Nine Armies directly to the Northern Domain Battle Department.

At this time, because the situation was critical, the Imperial Capital had sent four Celestial Pavilion Elders, and the Battle Department had even gathered all twelve of its Military Gods.

Watching the bickering Celestial Kings of the Qin and Ye Families, they were all getting impatient. ”Stop arguing for now! We’ll discuss this after Lord Night Emperor arrives!”

”I, a Qin Family Celestial King, am willing to sign a life-or-death pact! I will crush the Celestial Demons within three months!”

”Three months? In this situation, can we even last for three months?”

”I, a Ye Family Celestial King, volunteer for this command! Just give me one—no, two months, and I can defeat the Celestial Demons!”

The Celestial Pavilion Elders and the twelve Military Gods exchanged a look.

’Two months... that’s worth considering.’

But at that moment, the Nine Dragon Celestial King, who hailed from the most glorious Dragon Vein Family in the Imperial Capital, rose proudly to his feet. ”One month! I only need one month!”

The hall fell deathly silent!

The Celestial Pavilion Elders and the twelve Military Gods were visibly impressed.

”Nine Dragon Celestial King, can you guarantee you’ll defeat the enemy in one month?”

The Nine Dragon Celestial King replied arrogantly, ”The last time the Celestial Demons invaded, I wasn’t in the Northern Domain, and as a result, that Night Emperor fellow made a name for himself. I have been on campaign for thirty years. Am I to be outdone by some young upstart? One month is more than enough!”

The Celestial Pavilion Elders rubbed their hands together, growing excited.

’To resolve the Northern Domain’s situation in a month... only the Nine Dragon Celestial King could do it.’

Just then, a voice reported from outside.

”The Night Emperor and the Five Pavilion Leaders have just arrived at the Battle Department. Should we ask them to come in?”

The Nine Dragon Celestial King sneered. ”Military orders are sacrosanct and the battle situation is dire. But look at him, taking his sweet time and only arriving now!”

The Qin Family and Ye Family Celestial Kings also looked on with scorn. ”He’s probably scared. After all, he only beat the Celestial Demons last time because of dumb luck. This time, the Celestial Demons have a whole allied army hidden deep in the desert. Heh, I bet the Night Emperor doesn’t dare to ask for the command!”

Amidst the jeers, Qin Tianxuan strolled in leisurely with his men.

The wounds on his body were still bleeding, but his expression was as calm as ever—a will of pure steel!

”Night Emperor, you’ve come at just the right time. We were just discussing how long it would take to defeat the enemy. Do you dare to give it a shot?” the Nine Dragon Celestial King asked, his head held high and his face full of disdain.

Qin Tianxuan let out a soft laugh and slowly sat down.

Behind him, Wutian and the others had strange expressions on their faces.

’Are these guys for real? We’ve already wiped out the Celestial Demons, and they’re still here discussing how long it’ll take to beat them?’

The Nine Dragon Celestial King, now quite displeased, raised a hand. ”The Celestial Kings from the Qin Family say they can defeat the enemy in three months. Night Emperor, what do you think?”

*PFFT!* Behind Qin Tianxuan, Lingsu burst out laughing.

”What are you laughing at?!” the Nine Dragon Celestial King roared, furious.

Qin Tianxuan said coolly, ”Three months? That seems a bit too long.”

The Ye Family Celestial King stepped forward smugly. ”I guarantee I can defeat the enemy in two months. Do you have the guts to say the same?”

Qin Tianxuan scratched his head. ”Two months? That still sounds a little long!”

The Nine Dragon Celestial King couldn’t take it anymore. He jabbed a thumb at his own chest. ”I only need one month!”

Heh. Qin Tianxuan raised his hands and applauded. ”Amazing! Truly worthy of our Nine Dragon Celestial King! Going to defeat the Celestial Demons in just one month!”

Behind him, his subordinates, like Wutian and the others, couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst into loud laughter.

”You—what are you all laughing at?” The Nine Dragon Celestial King’s face flushed red, and he looked like he was about to start stomping his feet in anger.

At this point, the Celestial Pavilion Elders and the Battle Department Military Gods gathered around, their faces full of anticipation. ”Night Emperor, if you were to request the command, how long would you need to defeat the enemy?”

Qin Tianxuan remained perfectly composed. ”I don’t know, really. In any case, it won’t take a month, that’s for sure!”

Damn it!

The Nine Dragon Celestial King felt deeply insulted and roared, ”Night Emperor, even if you’re going to boast, there’s a limit! If you can fucking defeat the enemy in a month, I’ll get on my knees right here and call you Grandpa!”

Qin Tianxuan smiled.

His subordinates behind him roared with laughter.

They looked at the Nine Dragon Celestial King as if they were looking at their own grandson!
