Divine War Pill Emperor

WHOOSH!

Jiang Chen flew through the air with the Golden-haired Zombie King and the Black King Rat.

None of the Demon Beasts in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain dared to threaten the trio when they saw them.

”Hm?”

Just then, Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed slightly.

His nose twitched, and he said to the Golden-haired Zombie King and the Black King Rat, ”Wait. Let’s go down.”

The trio descended from the sky into the Ancient Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

The Golden-haired Zombie King asked, ”Master, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Chen said calmly, ”I smell blood, and it’s not from a Demon Beast.”

”And it seems there’s a fight up ahead.”

The Golden-haired Zombie King and the Black King Rat were both startled.

”How did we not notice anything?”

Jiang Chen didn’t explain. He had detected it thanks to his Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique, which allowed him to perceive unusual things in advance.

Its sensitivity was extraordinary.

He then led the Golden-haired Zombie King and the Black King Rat, creeping silently toward the woods ahead.

After a short while, the Golden-haired Zombie King and the Black King Rat were astonished.

BOOM... BOOM...

Sure enough, only now could they hear the sounds of a fight.

It was coming from a distance up ahead.

Their master’s Cultivation was lower than the Golden-haired Zombie King’s, yet he had detected the trouble far sooner.

The trio continued forward, closing in on the battle.

A moment later, they found a spot in the woods.

Jiang Chen peered ahead through a gap between the large trees.

He saw three people locked in a relentless battle.

Two of them were ganging up on the third.

The attackers were a man and a woman, and their target was an old man.

All three of them radiated the aura of the Martial Arts Sect Ninth Heaven.

They were incredibly powerful.

This startled him.

He hadn’t intended to get involved, but flying past would have surely alerted them. Now that they were on the ground, the only way to avoid them was to take a wide detour.

But Jiang Chen felt that one of them looked familiar, as if he’d seen him before.

He squinted, carefully observing the three-way battle.

He saw that the one being attacked was an old man.

He wore white robes, but they were already covered in bloodstains.

He was clearly injured.

And he was gradually beginning to falter.

”Hm?”

’That old man... he seems to be Mr. Qiu Shui, the President of the Alchemist Guild in Gambling City.’

Jiang Chen suddenly recognized the old man.

Not only was this old man the President of the Alchemist Guild in Gambling City, but he was also the one who had bought a drop of Dragon Blood for the high price of five billion at the Treasure Elephant Pavilion auction.

Even though it was Earth Dragon Blood, it was still true Dragon Blood.

Just then, he heard one of the attackers, a man, shout, ”Qiu Shui, hand over the Dragon Blood, and I’ll let you live!”

In the midst of the battle, Mr. Qiu Shui let out a cold laugh.

A look of grim resolve appeared on his aged face.

He said sharply, ”Chang Mao, Wenzhu, I’ve long known that you two coveted my position as President.”

”And now you even want to steal my Dragon Blood? Dream on! You’ll never get it.”

After winning the Dragon Blood at the auction, Mr. Qiu Shui had unexpectedly been ambushed by the two Vice Presidents of the Alchemy Master Guild, Wenzhu and Chang Mao.

Wounded, Mr. Qiu Shui had no choice but to flee from the Alchemy Master Guild.

But to his dismay, Chang Mao and Wenzhu had been hunting him relentlessly, chasing him all the way to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Chang Mao said coldly, ”Old fool, it’s time for a new President.”

”You’ve held the President’s seat for so long, abusing your power to treat the Alchemy Master Guild’s assets as your own.”

”If it weren’t for the contributions of the rest of us at the Guild, where would you have gotten so many Yuan Crystals?”

He and Wenzhu continued to pressure Mr. Qiu Shui.

Today, they vowed to kill him, not only to take the Dragon Blood but also to secure the position of President of the Alchemy Master Guild.

It was killing two birds with one stone.

After all, if that Dragon Blood were refined into an Elixir, it could be enough to help their Cultivation break through to the Martial Emperor Realm. Its value was incredibly high.

This was the very reason they had betrayed Mr. Qiu Shui.

Mr. Qiu Shui spat.

”Bullshit!” he cursed.

”My Yuan Crystals were all earned from selling my own Elixirs!”

”If we’re talking about embezzling the Guild’s money, I think you two are the real culprits!”

”Enough talk. Even if I die today, I’m taking one of you with me!”

As he spoke, he suddenly glanced in the direction of Jiang Chen and the others.

He shouted, ”Kid, get out of here! Don’t just stand there watching.”

”If they kill me and you know about it, they’ll kill you to silence you.”

Even at a time like this, Mr. Qiu Shui was kind enough to warn Jiang Chen.

He knew Chang Mao and Wenzhu were vicious. If word got out that they had murdered him, it would be disastrous for them.

They would naturally kill any witnesses to silence them.

Jiang Chen frowned.

He knew he’d been discovered, so he decided to stop hiding.

He walked forward.

The Golden-haired Zombie King and the Black King Rat followed close behind.

They approached the edge of the battlefield.

Mr. Qiu Shui said in surprise, ”Kid, it’s you!”

He recognized Jiang Chen as the young man who had competed with him for the Destiny Fruit at the auction—and who had ultimately won it.

Jiang Chen smiled. ”That’s right, it’s me.”

When Chang Mao and Wenzhu saw Jiang Chen, a cold glint flashed in their eyes.

Clearly, they had already decided to kill him.

Jiang Chen felt their palpable killing intent, and the Golden-haired Zombie King and the Black King Rat quickly moved to stand in front of him.

But Chang Mao just sneered, ”Kid, are you here to help us kill this old bastard, or are you with him?”

Jiang Chen crossed his arms, ignoring Chang Mao. He had a bad feeling about the man.

On the other hand, although he had competed with Mr. Qiu Shui before, he had a good impression of him, especially since the old man had just warned him to escape.

He asked, ”Sir, do you need a hand?”

”If you do, I can make sure these two never leave Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.”

What?

All three of them were stunned.

They were all terrifyingly powerful experts of the Martial Arts Sect Ninth Heaven.

And yet, Jiang Chen had shamelessly boasted that he would make Chang Mao and Wenzhu stay.

Mr. Qiu Shui suddenly smiled bitterly. ”Young man, I appreciate the sentiment, but you’re no match for them. You should go, quickly.”

”If you don’t leave now, once they kill me, it will be too late for you to escape.”

He was still trying to persuade Jiang Chen to leave.

At the same time, he was quite grateful to him.

After all, for Jiang Chen to dare stand on his side at a time like this, it showed that he was a good person at heart.

Chang Mao and Wenzhu both sneered.

The woman, Wenzhu, said, ”You little brat, you sure talk big.”

”Thinking you can make us stay? You must be courting death.”

Chang Mao shot Jiang Chen a look of utter contempt.

”You snot-nosed kid. Once we kill this old dog, we’ll free up our hands to deal with you.”

”Just wait for death.”

Chang Mao was not a kind person. Even if Jiang Chen helped them kill Mr. Qiu Shui, he would still kill Jiang Chen afterward to silence him.

After all, the news that they had murdered the President of the Alchemy Master Guild could not be allowed to spread. It would be detrimental to their future as Presidents.
