Divine War Pill Emperor

Lu Beifeng had just defeated Ding Jie, the captain of the Caterpillar Mercenary Corps.

Just then, a group of people dressed in black robes walked over from outside the crowd.

When the onlookers saw this group, they all cried out in alarm.

”Look, it’s the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.”

”The Black Demon Mercenary Corps actually showed up.”

”What kind of team is the Black Demon Mercenary Corps?”

A rookie mercenary couldn’t help but ask a more knowledgeable mercenary beside him, his curiosity piqued as he stared at the so-called Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

Someone immediately explained, ”You don’t even know about the Black Demon Mercenary Corps?”

”Let me tell you, the Black Demon Mercenary Corps is a Three-Star Mercenary Corps.”

”They’re incredibly powerful, considered one of the top Three-Star Mercenary Corps. They have nearly two hundred members.”

The questioner gasped.

But in fact, there was more.

The man continued, ”Their team is filled with experts. They have more than ten members at the Martial Master Seventh and Eighth Heavens.”

”The most formidable one, of course, is their captain, Xiao Jun. He’s a Martial King First Heaven expert, truly terrifying.”

Instantly, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

Seeing the members of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps, the crowd quickly scattered.

”Move aside! Everyone, move aside!”

The members of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps indeed had a powerful aura. The moment they arrived, they intimidated the crowd, causing them to unconsciously back away.

The men from the Black Demon Mercenary Corps immediately started ordering the other mercenaries to clear out.

But no one dared to utter a word of complaint. They all obediently moved away.

When they saw the man in the lead, many people were once again intimidated.

”The one in the lead is actually one of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps’ deputy captains, He Ansheng.”

”Looks like the Black Demon Mercenary Corps is planning something big this time.”

”You can say that again. Deputy Captain He Ansheng is an expert at the Martial Master Peak of Nine Heavens.”

Faced with the crowd’s commotion, He Ansheng, as a deputy captain of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps, remained completely unfazed.

He had already found out that the Warring States Mercenary Corps was here, which was why he had brought his men.

Pushing through the crowd, he indeed saw the members of the Warring States Mercenary Corps.

A cold glint flashed in He Ansheng’s eyes.

Zhan Yang and the others also noticed the arrival of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

They hastily tried to get away.

They knew how formidable the Black Demon Mercenary Corps was.

”Jiang Chen, let’s go, quickly.”

”This Black Demon Mercenary Corps... we’re no match for them at all.”

Jiang Chen naturally didn’t want any trouble, so he moved to the side with Zhan Yang and the others.

”Members of the Warring States Mercenary Corps, wait.”

Just as they were about to avoid the men from the Black Demon Mercenary Corps, the opposing deputy captain, He Ansheng, suddenly spoke up and stopped them.

At that moment, Zhan Yang’s heart instinctively began to race.

Although they were both Three-Star Mercenary Corps, their Warring States Mercenary Corps was merely a bottom-tier one.

The Black Demon Mercenary Corps, on the other hand, was a top-tier Three-Star Mercenary Corps, standing at the very peak of the food chain.

In fact, the Black Demon Mercenary Corps was currently striving to become a Four-Star Mercenary Corps, and they genuinely had the strength to do so.

Therefore, the gap between the two sides was too vast to even be compared.

Zhan Yang searched his memory. They usually had no interactions with the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

The five of them stopped and turned to look at the group of people dressed in black behind them—the members of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

”Greetings, Deputy Captain He.”

Zhang Yang recognized He Ansheng, this deputy captain of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

He immediately clasped his hands in a salute toward him.

He Ansheng, however, remained silent and gave no reaction, merely sweeping his sharp gaze over Zhan Yang and the others.

When his eyes fell on Zhan Yang, JinLing, Niu Tuo, and Lu Beifeng, the four of them felt an invisible pressure wash over them, weighing them down.

It made them gasp for breath.

’They’re here for trouble.’ The expressions on Zhan Yang and the others changed drastically.

However, in the end, He Ansheng’s gaze locked onto Jiang Chen.

That’s right, it was Jiang Chen.

At the same time, He Ansheng secretly mused, ’I know all the other members of the Warring States Mercenary Corps.’

’This is the only kid I don’t recognize. I suspect the expert Mr. Tu mentioned is probably him.’

He Ansheng had come this time because his Black Demon Mercenary Corps’ Dark Team had suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Warring States Mercenary Corps. He had taken it upon himself to investigate the matter.

If possible, he would avenge his fallen brothers.

”It seems the Warring States Mercenary Corps has provoked the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.”

”Looks like they’re in for it.”

”Tsk tsk, the Warring States Mercenary Corps is getting gutsier and gutsier. To actually provoke the Black Demon Mercenary Corps... they’re just asking for death.”

The crowd was somewhat afraid of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

Now, seeing them surround the Warring States Mercenary Corps, they could guess there must be some sort of grudge between the two sides.

And making an enemy of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps was clearly an unwise choice.

They began to feel sympathy for the members of the Warring States Mercenary Corps.

Only the members of the recently defeated Caterpillar Mercenary Corps felt a sense of schadenfreude as they watched the Warring States Mercenary Corps get surrounded by the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

”Heh heh, I didn’t expect the Warring States Mercenary Corps to actually provoke the Black Demon Mercenary Corps this time.”

”Serves them right. They’re dead meat.”

”I think so too.”

Ding Jie also wore a look of gloating satisfaction.

”Made me pay three hundred thousand essence crystals, huh? Now you’re in for it, aren’t you?”

”Hahaha! This is great! Damn you, Warring States Mercenary Corps! Just you wait for death!”

Ding Jie suddenly felt as if his injuries had started to heal.

He was in high spirits.

He prepared to watch Zhan Yang and the others get brutally crushed by the Black Demon Mercenary Corps.

This was, naturally, the time to kick them while they were down.

He snorted.

Only then did He Ansheng speak. ”You’re the ones from the Warring States Mercenary Corps?”

Zhan Yang nodded. ”Yes, that’s us.”

”You’ve been promoted to a Three-Star Mercenary Corps, haven’t you?”

He spoke again. In reality, after their plot to take the Moyang Flowers from Zhan Yang and the others had failed, they knew the Warring States Mercenary Corps would inevitably be promoted to a Three-Star Mercenary Corps.

”Hehe, so Deputy Captain He already knew.”

Zhan Yang gave a strained smile. He couldn’t shake the feeling that their visitors meant trouble.

But he couldn’t understand why they were making so much small talk.

He Ansheng sneered. ”For a team with your level of strength to become a Three-Star Mercenary Corps... I have to say, you really stepped in a pile of dogshit luck.”

”You must be the most pathetic Three-Star Mercenary Corps in history.”

He taunted them a little.

It could only be said that the Warring States Mercenary Corps’ promotion to a Three-Star Mercenary Corps was mostly due to luck.

Zhan Yang was silent for a moment.

He then said with a wry smile, ”Deputy Captain He, our Warring States Mercenary Corps hasn’t provoked your Black Demon Mercenary Corps. May I ask why you’ve sought us out today?”

He just wanted to know what these people were really after.

After all, even though they were mocking his team, he didn’t dare to retort.

He wanted to get away from the Black Demon Mercenary Corps as quickly as possible.

A playful, mocking smile appeared on He Ansheng’s face.

He suddenly said, ”It’s quite simple, actually. I’ve heard that your Warring States Mercenary Corps is quite capable. We at the Black Demon Mercenary Corps would like to have a little sparring session with you.”

As he spoke, he repeatedly glanced at Jiang Chen.

He needed to test Jiang Chen’s true strength.

That was his mission this time.

After all, according to the report from their Dark Team, Jiang Chen’s strength was abnormally terrifying.

But they were completely in the dark about his actual power.
