Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 396 - 394: City Massacre

No matter how much Guyue City had changed, Jiang Chen couldn’t care less. He was with the members of the Warring States Mercenary Corps, preparing to relax.

But just outside Guyue City,

a streak of black light came shooting through the air.

Within the black light was a crow, its eyes filled with excitement.

"WAHAHAHA..."

"The Black Fire is in Guyue City! It will belong to me!"

The newcomer was none other than the Black Fire Crow.

With the death of City Lord Zhao Bing and the heavy casualties among the City Lord’s Mansion guards, Guyue City was in a state of utter chaos.

No one noticed the Black Fire Crow’s arrival.

As it gazed upon a city full of ruins,

the Black Fire Crow was somewhat astonished.

’A brutal battle actually took place in Guyue City.’

’There are so many traces of Black Fire here.’

The Black Fire Crow darted through the ruins,

and found the traces left by the Black Fire.

This made it even more certain that the Black Fire was within Guyue City.

Seeing this, the Black Fire Crow immediately shot up into the sky.

SWOOSH!

Its form rapidly expanded.

In an instant, it transformed into a crow dozens of feet wide.

Its entire body was wreathed in Black Fire.

"CAW! CAW!"

The Black Fire Crow let out a strange cry down at the city of Guyue below.

The people of Guyue City were already on edge. A strange sound like this was enough to frighten them to death.

Upon hearing the bizarre cry,

many people in Guyue City looked up at the sky.

Their faces immediately paled.

"Heavens, what is that monster?"

"Another monster? Is it impossible to stay in Guyue City anymore?"

The crowd trembled in fear.

At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted from the Black Fire Crow.

BOOM!

The terrifying pressure bore down, crushing the city below.

The crowd grew even more terrified.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen was with Zhan Yang and the others.

He suddenly looked up at the sky,

his expression changing drastically.

"Damn it, that beast followed me here!"

Jiang Chen exclaimed in alarm.

He thought he could have a few quiet days to rest and recuperate.

But now, a new variable had appeared: the Black Fire Crow.

Jiang Chen had actually anticipated that the Black Fire Crow would eventually hunt him down, but he never expected it to be so fast.

"Jiang Chen, what’s happening?"

"Look! What is that?"

JinLing pointed at the Black Fire Crow in the sky.

Before Jiang Chen could explain,

the Black Fire Crow screeched from the sky above.

"Listen up, you people down there! Tell me, where is the boy who wields the Black Fire?"

"I know you’re aware of his whereabouts."

"If you don’t speak, then today, I will begin to massacre this city."

"I will kill every last one of you."

The Black Fire Crow’s presence was overwhelming as it let out one terrifying threat after another.

The crowd descended into a panic.

Obviously, anyone who had witnessed Jiang Chen deliver the annulment notice to the Qin Family knew exactly who the person with the Black Fire was.

But they had also witnessed how terrifying Jiang Chen could be.

However, Jiang Chen had vanished from Guyue City right after the great battle, and no one knew his whereabouts.

Everyone could only remain silent, gripped by fear.

"Are you going to talk? If not, shall I begin the slaughter?"

The Black Fire Crow grew annoyed.

Not a single person was cooperating with it.

Just then, a guard from the City Lord’s Mansion stepped forward and shouted, "My lord, we truly don’t know where that boy is."

"But I know his name. It’s Jiang Chen."

"He killed our City Lord. We hate him, too."

The people of the City Lord’s Mansion were both terrified of and resentful toward Jiang Chen.

The Black Fire Crow sneered.

"You don’t know? Then find him for me. Drag him out."

"I’ll give you one day. The entire city will search for Jiang Chen."

"If you haven’t found him in one day’s time, I will slaughter this city without fail."

"From this moment on, no one is allowed to leave Guyue City. People may enter, but not exit. I will kill anyone who dares to try."

The Black Fire Crow’s tone was savage.

Everyone could feel the Black Fire Crow’s immense power. Its Cultivation was sky-high; who would dare to resist?

The only problem was, no one knew where Jiang Chen was.

In the courtyard, Zhan Yang and the others exchanged glances.

All eyes fell on Jiang Chen.

They finally understood: the Black Fire Crow was yet another enemy hunting for Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, can you handle that Black Fire Crow?"

Zhan Yang and the others all looked to Jiang Chen.

The Combat Power Jiang Chen had displayed before was simply too terrifying.

They had come to believe that Jiang Chen was invincible.

But Jiang Chen could only shake his head with a bitter smile.

"You’re overestimating me."

"If I could kill that Black Fire Crow, I would have flown up and destroyed it already."

He fell silent.

The Black Fire Crow wanted to massacre the city, and given its nature, it was absolutely capable of such an act.

Jiang Chen, however, had no tricks left up his sleeve. If he revealed himself, he would die.

But if he waited for the Black Fire Crow to slaughter the city, everyone in Guyue City would die because of him—an unjust fate.

Suddenly, an idea struck Jiang Chen.

He hastily activated his Spirit Art.

’That’s it! The One-Eyed Snow Worm!’

’I can get it to deal with the Black Fire Crow.’

Jiang Chen immediately thought of the One-Eyed Snow Worm. It was the only being here that could possibly deal with the Black Fire Crow.

After all, the Black Fire Crow’s Cultivation was at the Martial Arts Peak, making it terrifyingly powerful.

The One-Eyed Snow Worm, on the other hand, was far stronger than the Black Fire Crow. It was a completely reliable option.

Jiang Chen’s only worry was whether the One-Eyed Snow Worm would agree to help him.

Jiang Chen immediately made his decision.

He channeled his Spirit Art, spreading it deep beneath Guyue City.

He was searching for the One-Eyed Snow Worm.

BOOM!

He felt his consciousness sink, and he entered the subterranean space.

"Hm?"

"Jiang Chen."

The Snow Worm immediately sensed Jiang Chen’s Spirit Art.

Its mind stirred, and it hurriedly established contact with him.

A powerful consciousness flooded into Jiang Chen’s own.

Jiang Chen didn’t waste words. He said directly, "One-Eyed King, I need you to help me just this once."

The One-Eyed Snow Worm seemed to already know what was happening.

It suddenly said, "Jiang Chen, if I don’t help you this time, you are doomed."

"Everyone here will die because of you."

It was simply stating a fact.

But Jiang Chen knew the Snow Worm wanted to negotiate.

He said in a low voice, "Name your price. What are your terms?"

He didn’t want to be indebted to the Snow Worm, either.

As expected, the Snow Worm said, "Release the seal on me right now, and I will help you."

The moment Jiang Chen heard this, he knew the Snow Worm would ask for it.

But he absolutely could not release the One-Eyed Snow Worm’s seal right now.

Instead, he shook his head.

"Not right now."

"If you really want to make a deal, give me one hundred years. In one hundred years, I will come and help you break the seal."

Jiang Chen predicted that in one hundred years, he would have become a top-tier expert. He wouldn’t have to fear any schemes or tricks the Snow Worm might try.

The One-Eyed Snow Worm fell silent.

It was clearly impatient to get out.

But to do so, it still needed Jiang Chen’s help.

Jiang Chen clearly had his reservations now.

This left it feeling helpless.

After a moment of silence, the One-Eyed Snow Worm finally came to a decision.

It had already been sealed for who knew how many years. What was another hundred years? It didn’t seem like such a big deal.
