Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen could already tell that Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi had ill intentions toward him.

And Jiang Chen wasn’t one to shy away from trouble.

He immediately said to the Third Prince, ”Let me play a few rounds with your two brothers. It’ll be fun.”

”Don’t worry, Your Highness. I know what I’m doing.”

The Third Prince didn’t try to stop him again.

After all, he had lost and was hoping Jiang Chen would have better luck and win back a bit of face for him.

”Alright, then. Go play a few hands and have some fun.”

”I’ll cover the money.”

Seeing this, Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi knew their scheme had succeeded.

Their goal today was specifically to target Jiang Chen.

The struggles between the Princes, no matter how fierce, could never truly harm one another. This was because each Prince was shielded by a Protective Golden Light.

Therefore, trying to kill each other was completely meaningless.

But they could target the people around the Third Prince, especially Jiang Chen, who was an enemy to them both.

Both of them had suffered at Jiang Chen’s hands before.

Wen Shixuan chuckled, a barely perceptible glint of malice flashing in his eyes.

”Third Brother, your subordinates are certainly a talented bunch. Look, your man here has more spine than you do.”

”Hey, you there. What’s your name?”

He clearly knew who Jiang Chen was but pretended not to recognize him.

Wen Shixi also wore a cheerful expression, though he hated Jiang Chen’s guts. After all, Qin Muxue was his woman, yet Jiang Chen had annulled their engagement with a single letter, which was a great humiliation for him.

’Today’s the day I’ll take your life,’ he thought to himself.

At the same time, he smiled and said, ”Friend, tell us your esteemed name so we can get to know you.”

Jiang Chen saw right through them but didn’t make a big deal of it. He simply said, ”You two must be blind if you really don’t recognize me.”

”Fine. Since you don’t know me, I’ll introduce myself again.”

”My name is Jiang Chen. I had the pleasure of meeting the Crown Prince in Guyue City.”

”I was there to personally witness him lose an arm and a leg.”

Wen Shixuan’s eyes practically shot fire.

Jiang Chen was exposing his sore spot in front of everyone.

He was furious, but he decided to endure it for now. He would deal with Jiang Chen at the gambling table.

He waved his hand dismissively. ”Enough. Cut the crap and get to the table.”

If he let Jiang Chen keep talking, he would only be subjected to more humiliation, and he couldn’t tolerate that.

Wen Shixi naturally saw why his elder brother was angry and smiled inwardly.

But he didn’t say anything more.

Jiang Chen didn’t stand on ceremony.

He walked over to Table Seven.

He sat down directly at Seat Six.

Taking the Third Prince’s place.

The Third Prince and his men all came to stand behind Jiang Chen, seemingly to cheer him on.

Intent on crushing Jiang Chen, Wen Shixuan shot a look at Wen Shixi.

The meaning was clear.

’Raise the stakes. Make him lose everything. Ruin him.’

Wen Shixi nodded.

The two of them were harboring sinister intentions.

There were other Martial Cultivators at the table as well.

It was still a six-person table.

However, the players in seats one, two, and three had all been replaced, as the previous group had already lost all their money.

Jiang Chen sat there, unhurried.

He first exchanged for two hundred million in chips.

The Third Prince was surprised to see that Jiang Chen had so much money of his own.

But given Jiang Chen’s abilities, it was only natural that he would be wealthy.

”Heh, is that all you’ve got? That’s not even an appetizer.”

Wen Shixuan couldn’t help but make a sarcastic jab; the mere sight of Jiang Chen irritated him.

Jiang Chen said coolly, ”It doesn’t matter how much I start with. What’s important is who’s left standing at the end.”

At the gambling table, winning and losing are all that matters.

Jiang Chen didn’t want to waste any more words with the two Princes. As the Holy Light flashed and enveloped him, he was startled to find his entire Cultivation had vanished without a trace, leaving him no different from an ordinary person.

’Whoa, this thing really is something else,’ he thought.

’But I’d like to see if this Holy Light can block my Ten Directions Calculation.’

The reason he dared to sit at the table was because he had the Ten Directions Calculation.

Otherwise, Jiang Chen would never have risked gambling against the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

At that moment, he silently activated the Ten Directions Calculation.

To his pleasant surprise, the Ten Directions Calculation was completely unaffected.

’Heh heh, looks like this is going to be fun after all.’

As long as the Ten Directions Calculation worked, Jiang Chen could deduce the outcome.

And with that, he could determine who would win or lose.

Before the first round of cards was even dealt, Jiang Chen began operating his Ten Directions Calculation.

’First round. Calculate for me: who has the best hand?’

Within his sea of consciousness, the Ten Directions Calculation instantly transformed into an ethereal Compass, which automatically configured itself with six seats representing positions one through six.

The Compass needle began to spin.

The calculation had begun.

Jiang Chen had never made the Ten Directions Calculation perform such a detailed analysis before.

Now, he initiated a meticulous calculation.

Finally, as the Compass needle spun past each player’s seat number, a number would appear there.

Seat one showed thirteen points.

Seat two, eighteen points.

Seat three, twenty points.

Seat four, seven points.

Seat five, twenty-one points.

And finally, seat six, Jiang Chen’s own, was a mere twelve points.

In an instant, Jiang Chen saw the final result.

Seat five was Wen Shixi, and his luck was incredibly good.

Jiang Chen was stunned.

Seeing this result, he realized he had no luck at all.

Even if he played it out, he was destined to lose.

He was left speechless.

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

’Ten Directions Calculation, can you reverse fate? Can you channel that luck to me?’

To be honest, he hadn’t fully mastered the Ten Directions Calculation.

So, he was still figuring many things out through trial and error.

This Ten Directions Calculation was truly wondrous.

As the thought crossed Jiang Chen’s mind...

The ethereal Compass suddenly stirred, and a line of text appeared in his sea of consciousness.

”To reverse the luck of the game, one drop of blood essence is required.”

Jiang Chen froze.

’There’s actually a way to reverse the game’s luck.’

He was ecstatic.

However, the thought of offering a drop of his blood essence made him hesitate slightly.

He didn’t make a decision just yet.

The first round of cards was dealt.

Right away, the player in seat one bet five million.

Seat two called the five million.

Seat three called the five million.

Seat four, Wen Shixuan, also called the five million.

Seat five, Wen Shixi, looked at his card and immediately raised it to fifty million.

Wen Shixi had already won a fair bit, and his hand seemed strong this time, so he didn’t hesitate at all.

It was Jiang Chen’s turn.

He looked at his card. It was an eight.

The Third Prince, watching from behind, was delighted. An eight on the first card was a promising start, and he wanted Jiang Chen to stay in.

But Jiang Chen folded immediately.

The Third Prince was stunned. He desperately wanted to tell Jiang Chen to play, but the rules stated that outsiders could not speak, only watch.

The Holy Light was active, preventing anyone outside from communicating with those within its range.

The Third Prince was so anxious he was practically clawing at his face. ’Does Jiang Chen not know how to play? This game is so simple, you can learn it at a glance. How could he fold with such a good card?’

He was utterly speechless.

Jiang Chen, however, remained completely expressionless. Although he knew an eight was a strong first card, he still folded. He trusted his Ten Directions Calculation wouldn’t be wrong and wanted to see the final outcome.

As it turned out, after three rounds, Wen Shixi won again.

He had twenty-one points.

The other players’ scores were also exactly as Jiang Chen’s Ten Directions Calculation had predicted.

This result secretly thrilled Jiang Chen.

’Looks like my chance to win some money has arrived.’

He knew the Ten Directions Calculation was infallible.

He calmly composed himself and prepared for the next hand.
