Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 200: Chapter 200: I Want to Fight You One-on-One

The Luo Family’s third uncle helplessly helped Ye the Second sit down, then turned and barked at the arriving reinforcements, ”Take this kid down! I want him alive!”

From among the arriving Qilin Guard, a hulking figure stepped forward.

His combat boots CLACKED menacingly against the floor.

The hulking man stylishly flung open his combat jacket, revealing two pistols holstered at his waist.

He slapped the weapons at his side. ”So, you think you’re a tough guy, kid? No matter how tough you are, can you dodge a bullet?”

Qin Tianxuan said nothing, his gaze fixed on the outside.

The signal from the Night Emperor’s Guard had already appeared outside. On a high-rise across the street, a red light glinted. The red dots of laser sights now covered everyone in the hall, including the hulking man!

The hulking man cackled. ”I’m a Personal Guard under the Qilin War General himself! A son of the Luo Family! We’ve always been this overbearing. I’ll ask you just one thing: are you scared?”

Behind the Qilin guardsman, four more figures appeared.

All of them were heavily armed, burly men.

In unison, they threw open their combat jackets, revealing the weapons at their waists!

”What a coward! Can’t even speak!” The hulking man threw his head back and roared with laughter.

Qin Tianxuan smiled, too. It was a faint, placid smile. Then, he raised a single finger.

He pointed it at the hulking man and his four companions.

’What does that mean?’

The five men across from him froze.

”Shit, does this kid think he’s going to fight us with his finger?” All five of them couldn’t help but laugh.

”He thinks his finger is a gun? I think he’s got a screw loose!”

Their laughter grew more contemptuous.

But Qin Tianxuan’s finger elegantly traced a path toward the five men’s waists—right where their weapons were holstered.

The red dots of the laser sights followed his finger precisely, settling on the waists of the five men.

Then, Qin Tianxuan smiled at them, curled his fingers, and snapped.

CRACK! CRACK!

BANG! BANG!

A continuous series of sharp reports echoed, like firecrackers being set off outside.

The five men were still laughing one moment, then crying out in alarm the next. They involuntarily doubled over, clutching at their waists in pain.

Every weapon at their waists had been shattered on the spot!

It was as if Qin Tianxuan’s finger truly held some magical power.

In reality, the Night Emperor’s snipers in the high-rise across the street had done their work.

But the scene was still far too bizarre.

And far too terrifying.

The Luo Family’s third uncle plopped onto the floor, rubbing his eyes. ”What’s happening? Am I seeing things? Does he know... magic?”

The hulking man and his comrades, however, as guards of the Qilin War General, immediately understood what was happening.

They hit the deck one by one, staring outside in terror.

”Sn-Snipers?”

”War-zone grade weapons!”

”Right across the street?”

As they were still analyzing the situation in a panic, the roar of turbulent air filled the hall.

It came from the sky.

A real-life armed helicopter had appeared.

The helicopter’s rotor wash was an indescribably violent gale, instantly shattering all the hall’s windows.

Shards of glass flew everywhere, and the main doors were blown open, banging against their frames.

Outside, armored vehicles from the Night Emperor Martial Venerable Hall began to storm the premises. Like savage beasts, the war machines rolled mercilessly down the main drive, crushing the luxury cars parked along the side under their treads.

Windows exploded as one luxury car after another was flattened.

The sound of synchronized footsteps rang out.

Guards from the Martial Venerable Hall appeared, holding war-zone grade weapons.

The muzzles of pitch-black weapons were pressed directly against the heads of the people in the hall.

Cold steel pressed against the backs of their skulls.

The Ye Family members who had rushed in as reinforcements all dropped to their knees, dark patches spreading across their trousers.

The Martial Venerable Hall guards were clad in black armor and wore black balaclavas. They were silent and professional, their bodies radiating the stench of blood from the battlefield.

The war in the Northern Domain had ended only recently, and the killing intent these Martial Venerable Hall guards carried from the field of battle had not yet faded. Their deep-set eyes were devoid of all emotion.

The Ye Family’s second uncle knew better than anyone who these people were. He quietly shrank back, crawling under a table like a snail.

As it happened, he bumped right into Luo Tianying, who was already crouched there.

The two of them were a comical sight. Awkward and terrified, they exchanged a look and, with a silent understanding, continued to crawl backward until they were huddled in the farthest corner under the large banquet table.

Outside, the Luo Family’s third uncle was the only one left to face the situation.

Though he was a pathetic sight sitting on the floor, he could still speak.

”You... you’re from the Battle Department, too? Then you listen to me! These five men are the Personal Guard of the Qilin War General of the Southern Domain Battle Department! I order you to immediately...”

He hadn’t even finished speaking when one of the Night Emperor’s Guard swung his rifle, the butt connecting squarely with the Luo Family’s third uncle’s head.

The man’s face was instantly covered in blood, and he could no longer speak.

”Wait!” a furious roar echoed.

The hulking man stood up. His weapons had been shattered and his waist was only slightly grazed. Now that he was standing straight, he still cut a somewhat imposing figure.

The hulking man took a deep breath and pointed a finger directly at Qin Tianxuan. ”I challenge you to a one-on-one fight! What’s so great about relying on numbers?”

’Relying on numbers, am I?’

Qin Tianxuan walked forward. ”You want to fight me one-on-one? I’ll grant your wish.”

The hulking man was overjoyed. He didn’t dare casually challenge the heavily armed guards surrounding them.

’But this kid... he just fought his way from the upper floor down to the main hall. His stamina must be completely drained.’

’Besides, he’s just wearing a dress shirt and slacks, with no protective gear whatsoever.’

The hulking man just wanted to regain a bit of face so he’d have something to report to the Qilin War General. He figured he was picking an easy target.

Shrugging off his combat jacket, the hulking man limbered up, his joints letting out a series of loud CRACKS.

His muscles rippled. He patted the armor he wore under his clothes, a smug look on his face.

Qin Tianxuan was growing impatient. ”Don’t bother. You won’t last more than a few seconds anyway.”

The surrounding Night Emperor’s Guard and Martial Venerable Hall guards were all watching the hulking man.

Their expressions were strange, filled with mockery.

”He’s actually challenging our boss directly?”

”Did this guy get his head caught in a door? He said he wants a one-on-one?”

”Does he think he’s tougher than the Celestial Demon King?”

”Haha... stop, I’m gonna die laughing.”

Qin Tianxuan’s men were filled with anticipation, eager to see the hulking man get annihilated in an instant.

The hulking man finished warming up and strode forward proudly. ”The name’s Black Dragon. Remember it, kid. When you’re lying in a hospital bed, don’t blame me for being too rough on you.”

Qin Tianxuan cut straight to the point. ”If you can last more than ten seconds, I’ll consider it your win. Also, I won’t use my hands.”

With that, he clasped his hands behind his back and stood there, impassive.
