Divine War Pill Emperor

Hearing Huo Wu’s words, Jiang Chen understood that a competition with this woman was unavoidable.

She was always thinking about fighting and competing.

He laughed heartily and said, "In that case, let’s have a competition. We’ll see who takes the bandit leader’s head first."

He was never one to back down from a challenge.

Especially since he’d heard these bandits burned, pillaged, and plundered, stopping at no evil. Killing them would be like ridding the people of a pest, so he felt no psychological burden.

Huo Wu smiled proudly. "Very good. You’ve got guts."

"We’ll each take five hundred men and set out now."

The Third Prince added, "Whoever is first to cut off the bandit leader’s head will be rewarded with ten million essence crystals."

"And a Third-Grade Qi Enhancement Pill."

Huo Wu was immediately excited.

While ten million essence crystals were nothing to her, the Third-Grade Qi Enhancement Pill would be beneficial for her Cultivation.

She readily agreed.

Jiang Chen, however, had no interest in the so-called rewards. He couldn’t care less about ten million essence crystals.

As for the Qi Enhancement Pill, such an Elixir could indeed help an expert with a Martial King Cultivation increase their Cultivation speed, but one mustn’t forget that Jiang Chen himself was an Alchemist.

As long as he had the materials, he was confident he could refine a better Qi Enhancement Pill.

The two of them each took five hundred guards.

As for Cao Yang, Da Pao, and the others, they all remained at the foot of the mountain to protect the Second Prince.

"I’ll take the eastern route."

Huo Wu led her men and headed straight for the east, planning to attack from the eastern side of the mountain.

Naturally, that left Jiang Chen to ascend from the west.

Reaching the foot of the mountain, Jiang Chen said to the guards behind him, "Everyone, I’ll go up first to kill the enemy. When you come up, you can just collect the bodies."

Xiao Jun was in the crowd. He asked, stunned, "My lord, can you go alone?"

After all, there was strength in numbers. For Jiang Chen to face the Nanming Mountain bandits alone, he would be hopelessly outnumbered.

Jiang Chen said flatly, "If you come with me, you’ll just slow me down. When it comes to killing, I alone am enough."

Indeed, Jiang Chen truly felt that bringing people along would be a hindrance.

’If I were alone, I could just fly up the mountain. It would be much simpler.’

The guards were all moved.

But they didn’t dare to stop Jiang Chen.

Then, Jiang Chen immediately took flight, heading for the mountaintop alone.

Xiao Jun led the others to follow behind.

Among the guards Jiang Chen brought, many were below the Martial King realm. Only six, including Xiao Jun, were at the Martial King realm or higher.

Therefore, most of them were unable to fly.

They could only travel on foot. Although they were fast, how could they compare to the speed of flight?

Leaving the others behind, Jiang Chen sped straight up the mountain.

「At the summit.」

There were numerous buildings, clearly the bandits’ living quarters.

At this moment, inside a slightly larger hall.

A group of people was sitting together, discussing matters.

"Boss, that Third Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom is here again."

One of them said.

As he spoke, he looked toward the man seated in the head position.

The man had a full beard and a fierce look, and he radiated the aura of a Martial King Fifth Heaven.

This was none other than the leader of the Nanming Mountain bandits, Xuan Zhiyong.

Xuan Zhiyong sneered, "That Third Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, Wen Shiren, is just an incompetent fool."

"He’s tried to exterminate us on Nanming Mountain seven or eight times, if not ten."

"But hasn’t he been defeated by us every single time? He’s already the laughingstock of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom."

"Since he’s come this time, let’s just capture him and hold him for ransom from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom."

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

"The boss is right! We should kidnap that Third Prince."

"We’ll definitely be able to get a hefty ransom from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom."

These bandits usually either robbed homes or ambushed traveling merchants, and their vicious reputation was widespread.

But because the bandits were numerous and had many experts among them, the people dared to be angry but not to speak out.

The Third Prince’s repeated failures in his extermination campaigns had only made these bandits bolder.

They laughed and joked as they discussed how to kidnap the Third Prince.

In just a short while, Jiang Chen had flown to the summit.

Just as he expected, he saw a large stockade on the peak with numerous buildings, and even some bandits patrolling back and forth.

He went straight to the front of the stockade and saw a sign hanging at the gate: "Nanming Mountain."

Seeing the two words, "Nanming Mountain," Jiang Chen knew this was the Nanming Mountain bandits’ stronghold.

"Who’s there?"

Suddenly seeing a person appear at the gate, the bandits at the stockade immediately grew alert. A few of them shouted at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen said coolly, "The one who has come to take your lives."

He didn’t want to waste words. The Cloud Mist Sword appeared in his hand.

With a flash, he charged into the stockade.

SHINK! SHINK!...

The few guards at the gate were no match for Jiang Chen at all and were slain by his sword.

Seeing this, the nearby bandits cried out in alarm.

"Enemy attack! There’s an enemy attack...!"

The shouts echoed throughout the entire stockade.

Xuan Zhiyong and the others were shocked when they heard the alarm.

They rushed out of the main hall and urgently gathered their men.

In just a short time, hundreds of bandits had appeared.

They charged toward the stockade gate.

Soon, Xuan Zhiyong appeared at the gate with his men.

He saw dozens of his brothers lying on the ground in pools of blood.

Xuan Zhiyong stared ahead and saw a man holding a silver longsword, from which blood dripped continuously.

It was obviously the blood of his men.

At the same time, he noticed that Jiang Chen was actually an expert at the Martial King Third Heaven.

His expression instantly turned ice-cold.

"You must be one of that useless Prince’s subordinates, right?"

Jiang Chen didn’t speak, merely grunting as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"So you’re the Nanming Mountain bandits. I hear you stop at no evil. Today, I’ll be collecting your souls for the King of the Underworld."

Hearing this, Xuan Zhiyong laughed coldly again and again.

"What arrogance. You insolent junior! Miao Yu, kill him."

He commanded an expert at the Martial King Fourth Heaven beside him.

Miao Yu let out a sinister laugh and immediately jumped out from the crowd.

He roared, "Brat, how dare you kill our men! Die!"

A black silk banner, shrouded in ghostly mist, flashed in his hand.

With a wave, a black, ghostly figure shot out from the banner.

It had a green face and sharp fangs, and it roared continuously, exuding the aura of a Martial King Third Heaven as it lunged at Jiang Chen.

’A Ghost Banner?’

Jiang Chen’s expression remained as tranquil as an old well, but inwardly he was somewhat surprised.

’To think someone actually refined a Ghost Banner.’

This Ghost Banner was refined using the fresh blood and souls of many living people. It was filled with Evil Qi and was extremely wicked.

It was clear how many people the man must have killed to refine such a Ghost Banner.

This only intensified his killing intent.

He advanced with his sword.

A shocking Sword Intent erupted from the blade.

"Slash!"

He viciously slashed at the approaching evil spirit.

THWACK!

The evil spirit was instantly cleaved in two by Jiang Chen’s sword.

The spirit shrieked, and its two halves hurriedly flew back into the black banner, disappearing from sight.

CRACK!

The black banner in Miao Yu’s hand emitted a cracking sound. It had clearly suffered significant damage along with the injured spirit.

Seeing this, Miao Yu’s expression changed drastically.

With a roar, he charged at Jiang Chen.

Miao Yu was no match for Jiang Chen, even with his Magical Treasure intact, let alone now that it was damaged.

Especially since Jiang Chen, wanting to end the fight as quickly as possible, had directly used the Second Form of his Shadowless Sword, Sword Intent Startled Swan. The moment he unleashed his Sword Intent, its power was limitless.

SWISH!

In barely a single exchange, Jiang Chen’s sword sliced Miao Yu in two at the waist, separating his head from his body.
