Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen killed one of the Martial Master Seventh Heaven experts with a single sword strike.

At that moment, all of Mr. Tu’s men were scared out of their wits.

Their previous desperate charge vanished without a trace. Almost in perfect unison, they retreated.

In an instant, they put some distance between themselves and Jiang Chen, terrified that he would cut them down with his sword.

”You...”

Mr. Tu was stunned. At first, he had completely looked down on this kid at the Martial Master Sixth Heaven.

But now, Jiang Chen had displayed terrifying strength.

To kill a Martial Master Seventh Heaven expert while only at the Martial Master Sixth Heaven... he was an absolute monster.

He was only a hair’s breadth away from the geniuses of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

That was terrifying.

”How are you so strong?”

”Are you hiding your true strength?”

At this point, after the initial shock wore off and he’d thought it over, Mr. Tu concluded that Jiang Chen must be an expert who had hidden his real power.

The strength he was showing now clearly didn’t match the combat power of a regular Martial Master Sixth Heaven.

He asked anxiously.

However, Jiang Chen’s indifferent words were his only reply.

”Does it matter whether I’m hiding my strength or not?”

”We’re leaving today. Who among you can possibly stop us?”

By instantly killing a Martial Master Seventh Heaven expert, he had intimidated his opponents.

Sure enough, Mr. Tu clearly didn’t dare to make a rash move now.

After all, even Mr. Tu himself was only a Martial Master Eighth Heaven expert, and he simply couldn’t figure out Jiang Chen’s true strength right now.

So he didn’t dare to attack recklessly. If he did and was instantly killed by Jiang Chen, it would be too late for regrets.

His expression darkened.

’Looks like I won’t be getting the Moyang Flower today.’

They had painstakingly planned this whole affair, only for Jiang Chen’s appearance to ruin everything. All their previous efforts were wasted, and they had even lost several experts.

Given Jiang Chen’s current power, it was obvious that Li Qing and the others they had sent out earlier had all died at his hands.

The losses were truly devastating.

And all of this was just for a single Moyang Flower.

”We’ve delivered the Fake Pill. No need to see us out. Goodbye.”

As Jiang Chen spoke, he gestured to Zhan Yang and the others.

”Let’s go.”

After all, having just arrived, Jiang Chen didn’t want to make enemies in Gambling City.

Although he had already formed a deep-seated hatred with this mysterious faction.

But, considering this was the enemy’s den and there might be even stronger experts, Jiang Chen still refrained from attacking again. If one of their top experts arrived and delayed them, it would be disadvantageous.

He needed to stay in Gambling City for quite some time on this trip.

At the very least, until he had slaughtered Qin Muxue and Wen Shixi.

So he didn’t want to waste his time on these unnecessary people.

”Go!”

Zhan Yang gave Mr. Tu one last look and, without another word, led the others in a retreat.

Jiang Chen walked last, guarding against an attack from behind.

In fact, after witnessing Jiang Chen’s power, Mr. Tu understood that the chances of detaining Jiang Chen and his group were slim.

It might even threaten his own life.

Weighing the options, Mr. Tu decisively chose not to fight Jiang Chen to the death.

He saw his men still trying to pursue Jiang Chen’s group.

He quickly moved to stop them.

”Stop chasing them! You’re no match for that kid.”

Only then did his men halt.

In truth, their pursuit of Jiang Chen was just for show.

Mr. Tu telling them to stop was exactly what they wanted.

Who would dare fight a freak like Jiang Chen? You’d have to have a death wish.

”Brother Tu, what do we do?”

”Are we just going to let them walk away like that?”

A few of the underlings gathered around, asking one after another.

They had suffered heavy losses this time, with over a dozen men dead.

Jiang Chen was simply too powerful.

It was beyond their expectations.

Mr. Tu’s expression was extremely ugly.

”Of course we can’t just let this go.”

”Quick, report to the captain. Tell him what happened here.”

”Ask him to decide on this matter.”

「In an even more luxurious manor in Gambling City.」

A sign hung at the manor’s entrance: Black Demon Mercenary Corps Office.

Clearly, this was the base for the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

A figure hurried over, gave a secret sign, and smoothly entered the manor.

「The manor’s secret chamber.」

A man with the air of a pale-faced young master stood there, his hands clasped behind his back.

Without turning his head, he asked the person behind him, ”What is it?”

The person behind him was the messenger sent by Mr. Tu. At this moment, standing before the pale-faced young master, he was so respectful he didn’t even dare to raise his head.

Because the man before him was the captain of their Black Demon Mercenary Corps, Xiao Jun, a Martial King Expert.

He was also the only Martial King Expert in the entire Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

He said respectfully, ”Captain, Mr. Tu’s mission has failed.”

”A powerful expert suddenly appeared in the Warring States Mercenary Corps. Not only did we fail to get the Moyang Flower, but dozens of our brothers were killed or injured.”

”Mr. Tu asks for the captain’s instructions.”

The pale-faced young master, Xiao Jun, his expression instantly turned grim.

Then he cursed, ”What a bunch of useless trash.”

”You can’t even handle something this simple.”

When he heard that they had lost dozens of experts, a murderous aura emanated from him.

”And just how ’expert’ were these so-called experts of yours?”

After a moment, he slowly exhaled, seeming to calm down.

The messenger was already drenched in a cold sweat.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. ”Captain, that kid... he has the cultivation of a Martial Master Sixth Heaven, but we suspect he’s hiding his true cultivation.”

SLAP!

Xiao Jun backhanded the messenger across the face.

”A mere Martial Master Sixth Heaven scared you all?”

”You good-for-nothing freeloaders are completely useless.”

He was furious. A single Martial Master Sixth Heaven had killed dozens of his men.

After all, Mr. Tu had Martial Master Seventh Heaven and Martial Master Eighth Heaven experts with him.

And yet, a mere Martial Master Sixth Heaven had killed dozens of them.

The messenger felt incredibly wronged.

He was just delivering a message, and he got hit for it.

But he didn’t dare to complain in the slightest. The captain before him was a Martial King Expert; he was lucky he hadn’t been killed by that one slap.

He spoke again, trembling, ”Captain, that kid killed Yu Qi with a single sword strike. I saw it with my own eyes.”

Xiao Jun took a deep breath. His subordinates were really making his blood boil.

However, his self-control was still excellent.

”Since you failed to get the Moyang Flower this time, everyone’s salary will be docked for one month.”

”Also, find a way to get more information on the Moyang Flower.”

As for the Moyang Flower in the hands of the Warring States Mercenary Corps, it was clear they wouldn’t be able to get it now.

Now that the members of the Warring States Mercenary Corps had left, they would definitely go to the Mercenary Castle to turn in their task. At that point, the Moyang Flower would be collected by the Mercenary Castle. Even if the Black Demon Mercenary Corps had a hundred times the nerve, they wouldn’t dare try to snatch something from the Mercenary Castle.

He dismissed the messenger.

Xiao Jun walked out of the secret chamber and into the main assembly hall.

By now, many members of the Mercenary Team had gathered in the assembly hall.

The Black Demon Mercenary Corps was a sizable Three-Star Mercenary Corps with over two hundred members. They were just two Three-Star Tasks away from successfully becoming a Four-Star Mercenary Corps.

Sitting in the main seat, Xiao Jun said to a middle-aged man in a yellow robe to his left, ”Deputy Captain He, the Moyang Flower mission has failed.”

The so-called Deputy Captain He was named He Ansheng, one of the deputy captains of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

He was taken aback.

”It failed?”

Xiao Jun nodded. ”That’s right. Those good-for-nothings bungled it. We’ll have to find the whereabouts of a Moyang Flower all over again.”

”Our losses were not small this time. I hear an expert has emerged in the Warring States Mercenary Corps.”

”You go take a look and see just what kind of expert he is. If the other party is very strong, don’t act rashly.”

”If he’s just average, then find a way to wipe out the Warring States Mercenary Corps.”

He Ansheng nodded. ”Alright, leave this matter to me.”
