Divine War Pill Emperor

Qin Muxue let out a cry of alarm.

She pointed a trembling finger in Jiang Chen’s direction, her expression like she had just seen a ghost.

”It’s you...”

After Jiang Chen had annulled their engagement in Guyue City, she was utterly disgraced. In the end, she was even defeated by him in a single battle.

Mr. Gu had fled with her and her father, eventually escaping to the Gambling City.

She thought they had finally escaped Jiang Chen.

But she never expected to run into him again here.

The shock was overwhelming.

The feud between them had all started with their marriage contract.

But what Jiang Chen was relentlessly pursuing now was the matter of his stolen Martial Vein.

Qin Muxue knew she had done wrong. She had personally taken part in the plan to steal Jiang Chen’s Martial Vein.

That was why she was in such a panic now that she saw him.

She was well aware of how formidable Jiang Chen’s methods were now. The fact that even Grand General Ming Zhe had fallen at his hands spoke volumes.

Beneath his black robes, Mr. Gu’s body trembled slightly, and a tic seemed to twitch across his face.

He unconsciously took a step back.

Even Mr. Gu felt a chill of fear when it came to Jiang Chen.

This was the man who had seized control of that One-Eyed Snow Worm beneath Guyue City, leading to Mr. Gu’s own crushing defeat.

The last person he wanted to see here was Jiang Chen.

Wen Shixi was surprised to see the reactions of Mr. Gu and Qin Muxue.

With his hands clasped behind his back, he asked, ”And who might this be?”

The behavior of Mr. Gu and Qin Muxue gave him an instinctive feeling that something was wrong.

However, in the Gambling City, there was no one he feared.

So he remained unconcerned.

Fortunately, Mr. Gu quickly recovered and stepped in front of Wen Shixi, protecting him.

Qin Muxue hesitated for a moment.

Then, she said cautiously, ”Second Prince, that is Jiang Chen.”

Wen Shixi paused. ’Jiang Chen?’

He mulled over the name, then his eyes widened in surprise. ”You don’t mean that piece of trash from Hanwu City, the one whose Martial Vein was stolen?”

”Is that him?” he asked.

In a flash, he had a plan. He would temporarily deny having stolen Jiang Chen’s Martial Vein, assuming Jiang Chen didn’t know the truth.

Qin Muxue nodded.

”That’s him.”

For a moment, Wen Shixi was stunned again.

Then, he looked at Jiang Chen with a newfound interest.

The Martial Vein in his body was Jiang Chen’s Eighth-Grade Martial Vein.

If not for Jiang Chen’s Martial Vein, he would still be a cripple. While he could have taken a Martial Vein from someone else, Jiang Chen’s was the highest-grade Martial Vein to appear in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom in recent years.

Now, thanks to Jiang Chen’s Martial Vein, his cultivation had reached Martial Master Third Heaven.

As he looked at the Jiang Chen before him, shock quickly filled him.

’Why can’t I see through his cultivation?’

He sensed that Jiang Chen’s cultivation was unfathomably deep.

This puzzled him even more.

He had previously heard that Jiang Chen was at the Sixth Level of Martial Master, but now he couldn’t gauge his level at all.

’It seems Jiang Chen’s cultivation has changed again during this time.’

But even so, this was the Gambling City.

Since he had recognized Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen had clearly recognized them as well... Wen Shixi sneered.

”Brat, you actually had the guts to break up with Qin Muxue. I was planning on looking for you, but I never thought you’d deliver yourself to my doorstep. You’re simply courting death.”

”So tell me, how do you want to die?”

In the Gambling City, Wen Shixi had more than enough power to kill Jiang Chen.

His own cultivation might not be high, but he was surrounded by experts. Why would he fear a mere Jiang Chen?

Jiang Chen watched Wen Shixi with a cool gaze.

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

”Wen Shixi, are you sure you don’t remember what you’ve done?”

He laughed. This Wen Shixi was truly ridiculous, bringing up Qin Muxue of all things.

The only thing he wanted to discuss with Wen Shixi was the matter of his stolen Martial Vein.

Wen Shixi stared, slightly surprised.

Then, he suddenly chuckled. ”Brat, since you already know everything, there’s no need to waste words.”

”That’s right, I was the one who dug out your Martial Vein.”

”The Martial Vein in my body right now is yours.”

”HAHAHAHA...!”

He laughed heartily, completely dismissing Jiang Chen.

Besides, since Jiang Chen already knew, he saw no reason to hide it any longer.

There was no point in beating around the bush.

He looked at Jiang Chen with contempt, his expression saying, ’What can you do about it?’

A cold light erupted in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

”Since you know you’re the one who stole my Martial Vein, then you should also know that one day, I would come for you.”

”Now, prepare to die.”

SWISH!

With a flash of sword light, the Cloud Mist Sword appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand.

A vicious glint flickered in his eyes. He was determined to kill Wen Shixi.

He would absolutely kill Wen Shixi and then dig out his Martial Vein.

He would avenge the Jiang Chen who had died.

”Brat, you dare?”

Seeing Jiang Chen about to strike, Mr. Gu roared hastily.

A black mist coiled around his hands as he tried to stop Jiang Chen.

”Why wouldn’t I dare?”

Jiang Chen sneered.

He saw Mr. Hei Paogu blocking his path.

The Divine Wind Fan appeared in his hand, and he swung it fiercely at Mr. Gu.

This Mr. Gu was actually a Martial King Fourth Heaven expert, and Jiang Chen didn’t want to get tied up in a fight with him.

The Gambling City was crawling with experts from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom. If he got bogged down fighting Mr. Gu, it would waste time and attract more of them. Killing Wen Shixi would become even more difficult then.

He had finally gotten such a perfect opportunity; how could he let it slip by?

”SWOOSH!”

The Divine Wind Fan swung viciously toward Mr. Gu.

In that instant, a bone-chilling cold swept across the first floor of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion.

An icy wind materialized from thin air, howling as it came.

Mr. Gu felt the frigid wind blast against him, and his body was involuntarily sent flying backward.

”Dammit!”

Mr. Gu roared, furious that he had suffered a loss at Jiang Chen’s hands yet again, but he was helpless to do anything about it.

”THUD!”

He slammed onto the ground in the distance with a dull thud.

Wen Shixi was completely stunned. His Military Advisor, Mr. Gu, had been sent flying by Jiang Chen in a single exchange.

It was completely beyond his imagination.

At the same time, as Jiang Chen began to fight, the aura of his power was revealed.

”Hiss...”

Both Qin Muxue and Wen Shixi couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

”Martial King Third Heaven?”

They couldn’t believe that Jiang Chen’s cultivation had already reached the realm of Martial King Third Heaven.

This rate of progress was simply monstrous.

It had only been a little over a year since Wen Shixi had stolen Jiang Chen’s Martial Vein.

In that same time, he, Wen Shixi, had only reached Martial Master Third Heaven, and that was with an Eighth-Grade Martial Vein and countless resources from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom piled on top of him.

He had thought himself an incredibly heaven-defying genius.

But now, seeing Jiang Chen, whose cultivation was even more terrifying at Martial King Third Heaven—no other genius could compare to this cultivation speed.

Beyond shock, there was only more shock.

Qin Muxue even felt a pang of regret. ’Why did I give up on a genius like Jiang Chen back then? If I had known, I never would have broken the engagement.’

Now, not only had the engagement been broken, but the hatred between them had grown even deeper.

There was nothing but profound enmity between them.

And looking at Wen Shixi beside her, he couldn’t compare to Jiang Chen at all.

But time could not be turned back, and there was no medicine for regret in this world.

’Thinking about it,’ she thought, ’with Jiang Chen’s cultivation speed, if he’s given enough time, he’ll more than easily ascend to the ranks of peerless masters.’

She, Qin Muxue, had missed out on such a genius.
