Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 322: Chapter 320: Forceful

The men from the Blood Light Mercenary Corps charged, ready to kill without a second thought.

Among them were powerful experts, including a Martial Master of the Seventh Heaven.

The members of the Warring States Mercenary Corps were no match for them at all.

"Hmph!"

"Futile resistance. Just five ants."

One of the enemy mercenaries sneered.

A battle was about to erupt at any moment.

"Are you all pretending I don’t exist?"

At that critical moment, someone suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked over to see Jiang Chen, who had been standing still the entire time, now stepping forward to stand before the Warring States Mercenary Corps.

"Jiang Chen, you’re no match for them either."

"This is a matter for the Warring States Mercenary Corps. It has nothing to do with you."

Zhan Yang gave a bitter smile. He knew disaster was imminent and didn’t want to drag Jiang Chen into it.

But Jiang Chen said calmly, "As of right now, I am officially joining the Warring States Mercenary Corps."

What?

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, Zhan Yang, JinLing, and the others thought they had misheard.

They had invited Jiang Chen before, but he had refused them.

Yet now, at a time like this, he was volunteering to join the Warring States Mercenary Corps.

It was utterly baffling.

"Jiang Chen, you should just stay out of this."

"We’ll handle this ourselves."

Zhan Yang shook his head, not wanting to implicate Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled. "Have you forgotten? I was the one who killed those members of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps."

"This is something I should take responsibility for."

He stepped forward resolutely. ’After all, when my soul was being devoured by the Ghost, the members of the Warring States Mercenary Corps didn’t give up on me.’

’This kind of loyalty is worth forging a deep bond over.’

"You’re the one, kid."

"He’s the brat who killed the Meng Family Brothers! Get him!"

Seeing Jiang Chen, One-Eyed Wolf’s rage flared.

With a great roar, he ordered his men to charge and kill.

"Stand back. Let me handle this," Jiang Chen said to Zhan Yang and the others.

Zhan Yang and the others were stunned.

’Jiang Chen wants to fight the entire Blood Light Mercenary Corps by himself?’

But they had no intention of retreating. Instead, they all prepared to fight.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Chen didn’t say anything more.

He just let out a heavy snort.

"You want to kill us? You’re not worthy."

A porcelain bottle appeared in Jiang Chen’s hand.

’The Soul-Breaking Poison. It’s now my most powerful trump card, capable of killing silently and without a trace.’

He brought it out decisively.

"Kill!"

Seeing the enemy charge, Jiang Chen simply waved his hand.

The Soul-Breaking Poison in the porcelain bottle immediately scattered from his hand.

It spread into the midst of the enemy’s ranks.

The effects of the Soul-Breaking Poison were incredibly fast.

THUD!

The first member of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps fell to the ground on the spot and began to convulse.

"AHHH..."

He let out a blood-curdling scream as he lay on the ground.

In that instant, the men of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps were stunned.

Their opponent hadn’t even made a move, yet one of their own was already on the ground, convulsing.

Even One-Eyed Wolf was startled.

Horror gripped his heart.

THUD...

THUD...

One after another, the men who had charged forward collapsed to the ground, screaming and convulsing.

This caused the men behind them to turn pale. They hastily halted, not daring to get any closer to Jiang Chen.

They quickly retreated.

"What’s going on?"

"How is this guy so damned strange?"

One-Eyed Wolf stared at Jiang Chen, his pupils constricting violently.

He was completely bewildered, feeling that this whole situation was incredibly bizarre.

Five or six men had dropped in an instant.

’This is terrifying.’

Just moments ago, he had been looking down on Jiang Chen and his group. Now, seeing his opponent’s terrifying methods, his expression grew solemn.

It seemed that not only would they fail to get revenge, but they had also lost several more men.

SPUTTER...

Sure enough, after convulsing for a while, the men on the ground went completely stiff.

They fell silent, as dead as could be.

"You bastard, what kind of dark magic did you use?"

One-Eyed Wolf glared furiously at Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen replied calmly, "Whatever kind of dark magic it is, it’s enough as long as it can deal with you."

Behind him, Zhan Yang and the others were once again so shocked by Jiang Chen that their jaws dropped.

Once again, Jiang Chen had completely shattered their understanding of him.

They had thought Jiang Chen was formidable before, but now, seeing his methods, they realized they had not even begun to fathom his true depths.

Jiang Chen was even stronger than they had imagined.

The scene fell quiet for a moment.

The members of the Blood Light Mercenary Corps didn’t dare to attack Jiang Chen again for the time being.

They all warily put distance between themselves and him.

Even their leader, One-Eyed Wolf, had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

He looked at the members lying on the ground, all completely dead.

His face turned pale, then livid.

Meanwhile, Lord Wangu, who had been silent all this time, stared at Jiang Chen, his heart sinking.

He too had previously looked down on Jiang Chen’s group, but now he realized that Jiang Chen’s methods were unnervingly strange.

He said to One-Eyed Wolf, "Stop. He’s an expert at using poison."

"You’ll fall into his trap if you’re not careful."

One-Eyed Wolf’s expression changed drastically.

’An expert in poison... that’s a terrifying type of person.’ They never expected Jiang Chen to be one.

He completely gave up the thought of killing Jiang Chen.

They had just pointlessly thrown away several lives.

Lord Wangu stepped forward, stared at Jiang Chen, and suddenly asked, "You are an Alchemist, aren’t you, sir?"

"To use poison so effortlessly, you must not be a nobody."

Jiang Chen said calmly, "That’s right. I am an Alchemist."

"Seeing as you are also an Alchemist, you should be well aware of my capabilities."

"If you back off now, we can let this go. But if you still intend to make trouble for my people, then their fate will be yours."

He pointed to the dead on the ground. On those bodies, there were no visible signs of poisoning at all.

Jiang Chen’s Soul-Breaking Poison directly attacked the soul, so naturally, it wouldn’t look like poisoning.

’However,’ Jiang Chen thought, ’for him to recognize my use of poison, he must be a decent Alchemist himself.’

Lord Wangu’s eyes flickered at Jiang Chen’s threat.

He shot a final glance at Jiang Chen and said to One-Eyed Wolf, "Have your men withdraw."

"This person is not to be trifled with."

But One-Eyed Wolf asked hopefully, "Young Master Wan, could you possibly lend a hand? If you kill him, we’ll waive our fee for this job."

’I hate that kid to the bone. To lose seven or eight members to him in one go... it’s infuriating!’

Shaking his head, Lord Wangu said, "Give it up. I’m no match for him either."

"I think we should focus on finding news of the Black Fire first. As for the grudge between you two, you’ll have to find a way to settle it yourselves in the future. I can’t help."

He had no desire to fight Jiang Chen at all.

’From what I can tell, I’m no match for him, so there’s no need to make him an enemy. Besides, I have no real connection to the Blood Light Mercenary Corps anyway.’

GRIND...

One-Eyed Wolf gritted his teeth.

He glared at Jiang Chen and his group.

He said to his men, "Take the bodies. We’re leaving."

Several members immediately went over cautiously, keeping a wary eye on Jiang Chen as they carried away the bodies of their dead comrades. They fled from Jiang Chen’s presence, terrified he would poison them too.

"Let’s go!"

Immediately, the Blood Light Mercenary Corps left with Lord Wangu to search for the Black Fire.

Only Jiang Chen and the other four were left on the empty third floor.
