Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen’s intuition told him these men were likely connected to Mr. Lü.

He still didn’t know their specific objective.

First the Fake Pill, then the assassins. It was all very strange.

However, he couldn’t be bothered with all that now.

"Let me handle them."

He stepped forward and told Zhan Yang and the others to fall back.

"Jiang Chen, you..."

JinLing was a little worried about Jiang Chen.

After all, the other side had so many experts, all at the Martial Master Level.

The strongest among them were at the Martial Master Fifth Heaven.

Zhan Yang, however, had great confidence in Jiang Chen.

"Don’t worry. I’m sure Jiang Chen can handle it."

Lu Beifeng and Niu Tuo both moved to protect Zhan Yang and JinLing.

Jiang Chen took his stance.

A sword appeared in his hand.

The Treasure Cloud Mist Sword.

SWOOSH!

A flash of sword light, and Jiang Chen stood as still as a mountain.

Sensing the treasured aura of the sword in Jiang Chen’s hand, Li Qing and his men exclaimed in surprise.

"A Treasure Artifact! That kid is holding a Treasure Artifact!"

The moment they saw Jiang Chen’s Treasure Artifact, their eyes turned red with envy.

A Treasure Artifact was an extremely precious Magical Treasure.

Most people could never hope to obtain even one.

Yet Jiang Chen had one.

This filled their hearts with desire, their eyes growing bloodshot.

It was as if wolves had spotted plump, tender meat.

Li Qing’s eyes gleamed as well.

But after glancing at Jiang Chen, he said dismissively, "Kid, you’d better hand over that Treasure Artifact."

"Otherwise, don’t come crying to me when I cripple you."

Jiang Chen’s expression was indifferent.

"What shameless boasting. You should be more concerned with how you’re going to stay alive."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate for a moment.

The Cloud Mist Sword in his hand flashed out.

He and his sword moved as one, achieving Divine Sword Unity as he instantly charged his opponents.

One man against more than ten.

Jiang Chen had been concealing his Cultivation.

In truth, Jiang Chen’s Cultivation had already reached the Sixth Level of Martial Master.

PFFT!

With a single strike, the first expert to rush forward—a Martial Master Second Realm—was instantly run through by Jiang Chen’s sword.

He stared in disbelief at the bloody hole in his body before slowly collapsing to the ground.

A single, fatal blow.

"How is that possible?"

"You brat, you’re courting death! You dare kill one of our men!"

The expressions on Li Qing and the others changed drastically.

A moment ago, they had planned to spare their targets’ lives, but now Jiang Chen had struck and killed one of their own.

They were instantly enraged.

At the same time, they were terrified. Jiang Chen’s sword was simply too fast; they hadn’t even seen him strike before one of their men was dead.

"Kill...!"

Cries to kill rose from all around.

But shouting was useless.

No one survived Jiang Chen’s blade.

One strike, one kill. It was over in a matter of moments.

Only three men were left standing.

Including Li Qing.

Li Qing cried out in horror.

"Impossible."

"How can you be this strong?"

They knew for a fact that the Warring States Mercenary Corps had no expert of Jiang Chen’s caliber.

Now Jiang Chen had appeared out of nowhere and was single-handedly wiping them out.

"Nothing is impossible."

"You just happened to pick a fight with the wrong person."

"Now, die."

Jiang Chen struck again with his sword.

The sword was fast, precise, and ruthless!

PFFT! PFFT!

Two more sounds, two more screams, and the two men beside Li Qing fell.

In a word: fast.

"Gulp..."

He watched as the last two experts by his side, both at the Martial Master Fourth Heaven, were run through by Jiang Chen’s sword, one after the other.

Even though Li Qing himself was an expert of the Martial Master Fifth Heaven, he couldn’t help but gasp.

He swallowed hard.

He knew that if Jiang Chen’s sword had been aimed at him just now, he wouldn’t have been able to escape either.

It was simply too fast.

Only now did he understand that Jiang Chen was a hidden master.

Even now, he couldn’t see Jiang Chen’s true Cultivation level.

"You..."

Li Qing pointed a trembling finger at Jiang Chen, his voice shaking with terror.

"Just who in the world are you?"

"You’re not with the Warring States Mercenary Corps."

Panic set in.

He was filled with dread for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen stood before Li Qing, sword in hand, arms folded across his chest.

He said coolly, "Me? I’m just an ordinary person."

"Now, tell me who sent you, and I’ll spare your life."

"You have one minute to think about it."

A moment ago, Li Qing and his men thought they had Zhan Yang’s group cornered.

Now, the tables had turned. Jiang Chen alone had effortlessly terrified them all.

’Do I still have a chance to escape?’ Li Qing wondered.

His mouth was dry. Finally, he gritted his teeth.

He turned and fled.

PFFT!

Jiang Chen’s sword was faster.

By the time Li Qing realized what had happened, the tip of a sword was protruding from his chest.

Fresh blood was already trickling down the blade.

His whole body trembled, and he let out an indignant roar.

"Our people won’t let you get away with this..."

Jiang Chen pulled out his sword, and Li Qing collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Chen felt no mercy for killing these men.

Although he ultimately failed to find out who had sent them.

’It wasn’t important. The enemy is bound to show up again eventually.’

"Clean up the battlefield. Take everything they have," Jiang Chen said to Zhan Yang and the others.

"Uh..."

Zhan Yang and the others were still in a daze.

They only snapped out of it when Jiang Chen spoke.

Each of them was shaken to the core.

Jiang Chen had ended the battle so quickly; it was completely unexpected.

Still, they didn’t hesitate.

They immediately collected all the Qiankun Bags from Li Qing and his men.

"Whoa, so many yuan crystals."

"There are some Elixirs here, too."

Niu Tuo and Lu Beifeng also took action, taking all the Qiankun Bags from the bodies.

They quickly finished cleaning up the battlefield.

The haul of yuan crystals was substantial.

"Jiang Chen, this is all for you. You earned it."

After sorting the items, Zhan Yang and the others put everything into a single Qiankun Bag and handed it to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment, took the Qiankun Bag, and looked inside.

In the end, he took out a few materials and tossed the rest, untouched, back to Zhan Yang.

"I don’t need yuan crystals. Just give me these few materials; I have a use for them."

He generously gave the yuan crystals to Zhan Yang and the others.

"How can we accept this? They’re your spoils of war."

Zhan Yang tried to refuse again.

But Jiang Chen stopped him.

"The yuan crystals are more useful to you."

In the end, Zhan Yang accepted the Qiankun Bag.

This kind of thing happened often, and they were used to it.

Without giving it much more thought, they hastily finished cleaning up and set off once more.

"Do you think those men were really sent by Mr. Lü?"

JinLing was still full of questions.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"I can’t figure out their intentions right now either."

"Let’s wait until we get to the Gambling City."

「Three days later, in Guyue City.」

Inside a manor, Mr. Lü listened to the news he had received.

His expression changed drastically. "Are you sure?"

"Li Qing and all his men were killed?"

The messenger replied with certainty, "There’s no doubt. The bodies are being transported back as we speak."

"They’re expected to arrive in Guyue City tomorrow."

At that moment, Mr. Lü’s face turned ashen.

"Damn it! The Warring States Mercenary Corps couldn’t possibly have that kind of strength."

"Someone else must have done it."

He couldn’t imagine how the Warring States Mercenary Corps could have had the power to kill Li Qing and his men.

"Should we send more men?" someone asked.

Mr. Lü’s expression was grim. He waved his hand. "Forget it. We’ll just wait for them in the Gambling City."

"Have someone investigate who exactly it was that killed Li Qing and his men."
