Chapter 2444 - Capturing a Turtle in a Jar
In just two short months, more than half of the Outsider Celestial Demons had perished.
The stench of death permeated the entire Boundless Battlefield. The flames of the war beacons filled the sky, and the ground ran red with rivers of blood.
“Old Man Heart Demon” knew all of this full well.
He also knew that, as seemingly endless bad news flooded in, the Outsider Celestial Demons were collectively overcome with terror. They could neither eat nor sleep in peace.
By this point, not even the Demon Emperors could remain calm. Their hearts were full of hatred and fury. They weren’t willing to hide and endure any longer.
“Old Man Heart Demon” understood all of that, but it wasn’t yet time for a true all-out battle with Su Yi!
Thus, his response was just a few short words. “Wait a while longer.”
Demon Emperor Chi Nie’s face was instantly ashen. He roared, “We can wait, but our clansmen cannot wait any longer!”
The imposter Old Man Heart Demon’s expression darkened. “Are you defying my orders?”
Demon Emperor Chi Nie’s eyes were bloodshot. “The ones dying are our clansmen! They’re begging us for help, and their lives hang in the balance. How can we... just stand back and watch them die?”
He knelt, then lowered his head to the ground. “Your Excellency, please, permit us to do battle!”
The other Demon Emperors immediately followed suit. “Please, grant us permission to fight!”
