Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 474 - 472: A Quick Battle

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH...

Five figures entered the manor, heading straight for Jiang Chen’s residence.

They soared through the air, as light as swallows.

Their plan was to finish the assassination quickly, without alerting anyone else in the manor.

WHOOSH!

The instant they entered the manor’s grounds...

Suddenly, a flash of silver light shot up from below.

It rose straight into the air.

All five of them froze.

Focusing their gaze, they saw an abnormally tall, silver-haired monster standing before them.

The monster radiated the Cultivation of a Martial King Seventh Heaven.

What?

All five were dumbfounded.

They were stunned. The creature was brazenly releasing the aura of a Martial King Seventh Heaven’s Cultivation, and they could feel it with perfect clarity.

’This is bad! It’s an ambush!’

That was their first thought.

After all, the strongest among them was only a Martial King Fifth Heaven.

Now, faced with a Martial King Seventh Heaven expert, they were hopelessly outmatched.

Realizing how bad the situation was, they immediately prepared to retreat.

SWOOSH!

Just as one of them began to fall back, he glanced over his shoulder, only to find in horror that two more monsters had appeared behind them. They were just as tall and ferociously-featured as the first.

"Don’t fall back!"

The man who had spotted them immediately shouted a warning to the others.

The others turned around in confusion, only to freeze in place the next moment.

They trembled uncontrollably, as if struck by lightning.

To their utter horror, of the two new monsters, one was a Martial King Eighth Heaven, and the other was a Martial King Sixth Heaven.

Not even the Second Prince, Wen Shixi, could easily deploy a force of this caliber.

In that instant, despair seized their hearts.

A Martial King Seventh Heaven was bad enough, but now there was also a Martial King Eighth Heaven and a Martial King Sixth Heaven.

GULP...

All five men swallowed hard at almost the same time.

Their mouths had gone completely dry.

"Run!"

After the initial shock, the leader, a Martial King Fifth Heaven, had only one thought: run. He had to escape this place and report the situation to the Second Prince.

WHOOSH!

The moment he moved...

...the Silver-haired Zombie at the Martial King Eighth Heaven realm appeared before him in a flash.

The speed of a Martial King Eighth Heaven was simply beyond his comprehension.

A silver light flashed before his eyes.

The Martial King Fifth Heaven expert was assaulted by a foul stench before he even had time to react.

He felt an immense force descend upon his shoulders.

Two claws with sharp nails had seized him by the shoulders.

The nails dug deep into his flesh.

"AAAAH..."

He couldn’t help but scream from the excruciating pain.

But before he could even get the sound out...

...the two claws ripped outwards.

RRRRIP...

The Martial King Fifth Heaven expert was torn in half as easily as a leaf.

He died on the spot.

The remaining four were so terrified they felt a chill run through them. Though they were hovering in mid-air, it felt as if their feet were rooted to the spot; they didn’t dare move a muscle.

A blur of silver light erupted.

Four terrified screams pierced the night, and then, everything fell silent once more.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

Their work done, the three Silver-haired Zombies wasted no time, disappearing into the darkness.

It was as if nothing had happened at all. Even the bodies were gone.

"Hm?"

Mr. Jiao and Xiao Jun, deep in their Cultivation, both snapped their eyes open.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The two men shot out of their rooms in an instant.

As they both had Martial King Cultivation, they reached the manor grounds in no time.

Hovering in the air, the two men twitched their noses slightly.

They exchanged grave glances.

"There’s the smell of blood."

"A fight just happened here, but it ended very quickly."

The two men’s expressions were grim.

"Look, there’s a bloodstain."

Xiao Jun pointed to the ground. He and Mr. Jiao quickly landed and, sure enough, found a still-warm bloodstain on the ground.

But there was nothing else around.

This sent a further chill through their hearts.

’What kind of expert could end a fight so quickly?’

They were both Martial King Experts, yet they hadn’t noticed anything unusual at all.

By the time they came out, it was all over.

Bizarre. The whole affair was utterly bizarre.

"We must report this to the Young Master immediately."

The two of them agreed to report the matter to Jiang Chen.

However, Jiang Chen had said he was going into seclusion and was not to be disturbed.

In the end, the two had no choice but to hide within the manor and monitor the situation.

Nothing else happened all night, leaving the two of them completely puzzled.

「Second Prince’s Hall.」

Mr. Gu hurried inside.

Seeing Wen Shixi cultivating, he said in a low voice, "Second Prince, it was a failure."

"Our men entered the manor, and we haven’t heard from them since."

What?

Wen Shixi’s expression changed drastically.

"Are you certain our men are dead?"

He found it hard to believe. He had sent experts, yet they had failed.

All just to kill Jiang Chen, a mere Martial King Third Heaven.

Mr. Gu nodded. "I am certain. That Jiang Chen is anything but simple."

"I’ve even heard the Third Prince is preparing to befriend Jiang Chen. This man cannot be underestimated."

Wen Shixi’s face turned livid.

"Damn it! Is that kid really that troublesome?"

’If I had known it would come to this, I would have killed him long ago. Now I’ve truly left a scourge to fester.’

He was filled with regret. He should have killed Jiang Chen back when he had ripped out his Martial Vein.

Of course, what he didn’t know was that Jiang Chen had died after having his Martial Vein ripped out. The current Jiang Chen was no longer the one who had died.

Soon, his brow furrowed again. "You’re saying my third brother plans to recruit Jiang Chen?"

Mr. Gu nodded. "That’s right. It’s confirmed that the Third Prince has met with Jiang Chen. I imagine the Third Prince is getting anxious."

Wen Shixi sneered. "It seems my third brother is starting to get restless."

"Very well. Let’s see what kind of waves he can make."

"My eldest brother returned in defeat at Jiang Chen’s hands, and now my third brother is trying to recruit him. It looks like we ought to pass this news along to our big brother."

"If we’re going to have a war, then let the storm come in all its fury."

「Early the next morning.」

Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao were still very puzzled. The previous night’s events had been extremely unusual.

Yet nothing within the manor had changed.

"Someone’s here."

The sky had just begun to lighten.

They saw several people arriving outside the manor.

The two men rushed to appear outside the manor.

They were startled when they saw the visitors.

"They’re from the royal family."

That’s right. The people who appeared at the manor gate were from the royal family of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

Clad in armor.

"Is Young Master Jiang present?"

One of the visitors immediately asked Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao.

Though puzzled, the two men replied, "He is. And you are...?"

The leader of the group replied, "Our Third Prince has something to give to Young Master Jiang and has requested an audience with him."

Xiao Jun and Mr. Jiao were even more astonished.

’Men from the Third Prince!’

They knew full well how noble the Third Prince’s status was.

And now, the Third Prince was personally sending something to Jiang Chen.

Mr. Jiao said, "We are Young Master Jiang’s servants. You can give the item to us, and we will pass it along to our Young Master."

But the man refused.

"I’m sorry, but we must hand this item to Young Master Jiang in person."

Left with no other choice, Mr. Jiao and Xiao Jun led the group into the manor.

Jiang Chen was still busy with his Alchemy and couldn’t come out for the time being, but the visitors insisted on waiting.
