Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 15: Chapter 15: By the Shore of Mirror Lake

By the shore of Mirror Lake, the water was clear.

The downpour had just ended, and the sky was a sheet of azure.

Suddenly, a monstrous excavator appeared, roaring with a violent clamor.

Behind it, Zhao Tianxiong emerged from a modified off-road vehicle, dressed all in black.

Three thousand thugs had already shattered the tranquility of Mirror Lake.

”Boss! We found a garden. It’s actually quite exquisite!”

Zhao Tianxiong sneered, ”Run it over!”

Instantly, the excavator, the off-road vehicles... they drove back and forth, crushing the exquisite garden into a muddy wasteland!

”Boss, up ahead is that Qin Tianxuan’s wife’s grave. Heh heh, we finally found it!”

Good!

Zhao Tianxiong roared like a madman, ”Dig three feet down, find that dead bitch’s coffin, and burn it to ashes for me!”

KCHA!

BOOM!

The excavator’s bucket teeth plunged violently into the earth, but then let out a strange KCHA sound.

It was followed by the sound of a massive explosion.

The excavator, now spewing black smoke, had come to a halt!

Zhao Tianxiong jolted. ”Fuck, what happened?”

With a strange SHHH sound, a black stele emerged from beneath the dirt of the grave.

Seemingly forged from some unknown metal, a line of large characters on the stele was shockingly clear!

”Disturb this ground and die!”

The characters were like swords, the strokes like knives!

Everyone present gasped.

It was as if they had been stunned by the words on the stone stele.

Zhao Tianxiong snapped out of it and roared again, ”What are you afraid of? Smash it to pieces!”

From among the three thousand thugs, a few strong young men jumped out. They smashed, pulled, and hammered at it, using every method they could think of, but the black stele didn’t budge an inch, not even a scratch was left on it.

Zhao Tianxiong, as furious as an ox, bellowed, ”Use the cars to ram it! I fucking refuse to believe this...”

Just then, a long cry echoed through the air.

Everyone shuddered. They saw Qin Tianxuan appear before the garden, his eyes bloodshot, his body covered in mud!

Qin Tianxuan looked at the ruined garden, swayed, and knelt to touch the ground.

The flowers he had planted for his beloved wife were now buried in black mud.

Tire tracks crisscrossed everywhere.

He dug out a flower, but it was already blackened and ruined.

ROAR!

Qin Tianxuan rose, filled with grief and fury, and turned to glare at the villains assembled before him.

He didn’t say a word, but a murderous aura already blanketed Mirror Lake.

Zhao Tianxiong jumped out of his vehicle, gritting his teeth as he approached. ”Good, you’re here. It’s time to settle the score between us!”

From behind him, the Zhao Family’s Da Hu rushed forward. ”Big Brother, why use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken? Let me handle him!”

With that, he threw off his jacket, revealing a muscular physique. He let out a grunt and sneered at Qin Tianxuan, ”I’ll give you a chance. A one-on-one duel with me! You dare?”

Qin Tianxuan remained standing in the garden. He saw the graveyard that had almost been destroyed.

The stone stele he had erected himself was still standing guard.

’But my beloved wife, Shuanghua, has been disturbed, has been desecrated!’

’Shuanghua, I’ve failed you. I couldn’t even protect this one peaceful place for you.’

’I deserve to die!’

Qin Tianxuan viciously slapped himself across the face.

The Zhao Family thugs all laughed at the sight.

Zhao Tianxiong spat. ”Scared now? Starting to slap yourself? Sorry, too late! Da Hu, go cripple him!”

With a roar, the Zhao Family’s Da Hu took a stance, about to charge forward.

WHOOSH! A piercing aura suddenly erupted.

In the next instant, Qin Tianxuan appeared shockingly in front of the Zhao Family’s Da Hu.

CRACK!

Da Hu was lifted into the air by his throat!

HSSS!

Da Hu’s neck twisted!

RIP!

Da Hu’s head was torn from his body with bare hands!

Beneath the sky, Qin Tianxuan was like a demon from Hell as he flung the head from his hand!

THUD! The head smashed against Zhao Tianxiong’s vehicle and rolled to the ground.

Qin Tianxuan’s five fingers were dripping red, his eyes emanated a black qi, and he advanced step by step with a hissing sound.

Oh god!

Oh my god!

The legs of the Zhao Family’s three thousand thugs turned to jelly; the more cowardly ones had already fainted.

Zhao Tianxiong shrieked, waving his hand, ”Everyone, attack together! Kill him!”

Just then, a deafening roar echoed from the sky above.

Twelve attack helicopters appeared in the sky. Black ropes descended, and twelve Battle Department Marshals landed like Celestial Gods descending to the mortal world!

From the rear, the Five Great Celestial Hall Elders arrived with sixty battle tanks, charging in wildly and sending the Zhao Family thugs guarding the back flying!

THUD, THUD, THUD! The sound of combat boots hitting the ground!

Jiang Qianjun raised his hand. Dressed in military attire and grasping a war sword, he strode forward with his head held high.

He faced Qin Tianxuan and offered a palm-across-fist salute. ”Jiang Qianjun, Commander of the 32nd Camp, 7th Division, formerly under the command of the War Pavilion! I am willing to slaughter Thief Zhao for you, Sir!”

SWISH, SWISH, SWISH! The six great attendants of the Night Emperor, the leaders of the six pavilions, appeared, their faces filled with grief and rage.

They also offered a palm-across-fist salute and roared in unison, ”Battle Pavilion Wutian, Medical Hall Lingsu, Intelligence Venerable, Wealth God Prince, Dark Prison Red Lotus, and Primordial of All Realms! We are willing to eliminate Thief Zhao for you, Sir!”

Three hundred Personal Guards, their black clothes like iron, formed a single line. Each one offered a palm-across-fist salute. ”We, the Personal Guard, are willing to eliminate Thief Zhao for you, Sir!”

The nine great armies, ten thousand soldiers trembling with fury, bellowed in unison, ”We, the Ninth Army, are all here! We are willing to eliminate Thief Zhao for you, Sir!”

The Elders of the Five Celestial Halls walked forward with heavy steps.

”Celestial Pavilion Elder Zhao!”

”Celestial Pavilion Elder Qian!”

”Celestial Pavilion Elder Sun!”

...

”Sir, quell your anger! We can eliminate Thief Zhao! There is no need for you to act personally!”

In the next instant, the ringing of steel rang out twelve times.

Twelve Grand Marshal’s Swords were unsheathed at once.

The twelve veterans of the Da Xia Battle Department, men of iron and steeds, their bodies covered in honors, had already drawn their swords.

”We, the twelve marshals, are willing to be the vanguard and kill Thief Zhao for you, Sir!”

Kill Thief Zhao!

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

By the shore of Mirror Lake, the very earth trembled. Beneath the sky, blood was already boiling.

And on the other side, the three thousand thugs of the Zhao Family stood like stone statues, completely and utterly dumbfounded!
