Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 326: Chapter 324: Might

Jiang Chen had just comprehended the third layer of the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique: Soul-Stealing.

His cultivation had reached the Martial Master First Heaven, and his progress was incredibly fast.

But to his surprise, the moment he finished his comprehension, he found himself surrounded.

Even Zhan Yang and the others had already been struck down.

He quickly scanned the three people surrounding him.

One was a Martial Master Third Heaven, and two were at the Fourth Heaven. They were undoubtedly powerful experts.

However, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

"You’re courting death."

He seethed with fury.

The three Martial Cultivators, however, completely ignored Jiang Chen’s rage. One of them sneered, "Kid, what cultivation technique did you just comprehend? Spit it out."

"Or things are going to get ugly for you."

Seeing Jiang Chen comprehend a cultivation technique and his cultivation advance so rapidly, their eyes went red with greed.

Who wouldn’t want to get their hands on a Heaven-defying cultivation technique like that?

"You want the cultivation technique? Simple enough."

"Here, have a taste. You can try to comprehend it yourselves."

Jiang Chen’s gaze was ice-cold.

"SWISH!"

A silver light flashed in his hand, revealing the Treasure Cloud Mist Sword.

Holding the Cloud Mist Sword, he surveyed the three men.

A cold sneer formed on his face.

"Jiang Chen, run! You’re no match for them!"

JinLing, who was clearly injured on the ground, still warned Jiang Chen, urging him to flee for his life.

After all, they had tried to stop these men from getting near Jiang Chen, but a single one of their opponents had defeated all four of them.

All of them were injured.

The three men were terrifyingly strong.

Zhan Yang, Niu Tuo, and Lu Beifeng all tried to get up and fight again, but they were too injured to even stand, let alone muster any combat power.

They could only watch as Jiang Chen was surrounded.

"Just watch. I’ll make them pay."

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth.

Seeing Jiang Chen’s lack of cooperation, the three men’s expressions darkened.

"Kid, you’re courting death. We gave you a chance, and you spat in our faces."

"All we want is the cultivation technique. Hand it over, and we’ll spare your life."

"But since you insist on defying us, it seems we’ll just have to kill you, refine your soul, and take the cultivation technique ourselves."

Done with the pleasantries, the three men instantly brought out their Magical Treasures.

A man with a dark face was the first to leap forward.

"Brothers, this kid is a total pushover. I’m more than enough to handle him."

He appeared before Jiang Chen, intending to take him down all by himself.

Jiang Chen’s expression was calm, completely unfazed that his opponent was a Martial Master Third Heaven expert.

"Die, kid!"

The man with the dark face viciously slashed at Jiang Chen with a long saber.

Seeing this, the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched upward.

The Cloud Mist Sword in his hand shot forward.

’Qi Stealing.’

As the sword moved, he roared internally.

The first layer of the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique: Qi Stealing.

The moment he unleashed Qi Stealing, all the endless Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the world screamed, swarming toward Jiang Chen’s Cloud Mist Sword as if it were their very source.

A powerful beam of sword light, formed from yellow Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, condensed into existence.

The beam of light stretched for dozens of meters, its power enough to shake the heavens and the earth.

It caused the entire third level to resound with a deafening roar.

Jiang Chen’s Qi Stealing absorbed and plundered all the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

The man with the dark face tried to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, but was horrified to find he couldn’t. Worse, the Primordial Qi inside his own body seemed to be affected by Jiang Chen’s Qi Stealing and was actually flowing out of him.

It was being plundered directly by Jiang Chen.

His face filled with shock. ’What a powerful cultivation technique! It’s plundering my Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.’

The more this happened, the more delighted the man became.

He realized the cultivation technique Jiang Chen had comprehended had to be at a Heaven-defying Level.

"Haha! Kid, I like this cultivation technique of yours. Hand it over!"

Even so, the man with the dark face still didn’t take Jiang Chen too seriously.

He was merely shocked by the power of the technique itself.

Not only that, but Jiang Chen roared internally once more, ’Soul Stealer!’

The second layer of the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique: Soul Stealer.

Once unleashed, Soul Stealer crushed a Martial Cultivator’s physical body.

At the same time, the dozens-of-meters-long beam of light from his Cloud Mist Sword slashed down viciously at the man’s head.

"RUMBLE..."

This single strike seemed to make the very heavens and earth pale in comparison.

Rumbling incessantly, it tore through space and descended upon the head of the man with the dark face.

The man’s expression changed drastically. As Jiang Chen’s sword light fell, he felt a terrifying pressure, like the might of the heavens itself, crashing down upon him.

The pressure made his body tremble.

It felt as if his physical body couldn’t withstand the pressure and began to convulse.

’This is bad...’

He cried out in alarm, about to flee.

Jiang Chen’s strike was simply too powerful.

When Soul Stealer was unleashed, a Martial Cultivator’s physical body was doomed to destruction.

Jiang Chen had pushed Soul Stealer almost to its absolute limit.

It not only plundered the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, preventing his opponent from absorbing it, but it also forcefully crushed his opponent’s physical body.

"RUMBLE..."

The beam of light had long since locked onto the man. He tried to flee, only to find his body was completely immobilized, as if under the effect of a Body Fixing Technique.

In an instant, his eyes widened in horror and his jaw dropped.

It was unbelievable. He, an expert at the Martial Master Third Heaven, couldn’t even muster the slightest bit of resistance against a kid who had just broken through to the Martial Master First Heaven.

He possessed a high cultivation but was powerless to unleash it.

Jiang Chen was utterly overwhelming him.

"CRACK..."

Before the beam of light even landed, the man discovered in horror that his bones were beginning to shatter.

He watched as the light drew nearer and nearer.

Despair began to set in.

Finally, the beam of light, which seemed to move slowly, was in fact impossibly fast.

"SWISH!"

The beam of light fell, slashing viciously into the man’s body.

With the force of a landslide, the strike instantly pulverized the man’s physical body.

His two companions could only watch, wide-eyed, as Jiang Chen’s strike annihilated their comrade’s physical body.

It was so swift and devastating that they had no time to intervene.

"Aaaargh..."

The man let out one final, wretched scream as his physical body turned to dust.

At the same time, a soul abruptly flew out from the destroyed body.

It was the man’s soul. His body was destroyed, but his soul survived.

But Jiang Chen roared internally once more, ’Soul-Stealing!’

The third layer of the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique: Soul-Stealing.

Once Soul-Stealing was unleashed, no soul could escape.

"Slay!"

The light from Jiang Chen’s sword had not faded; it swept across the space.

It slashed across the fleeing soul of the man.

With just a light sweep, the Soul-Stealing intent contained within the beam of light instantly shredded the man’s soul.

"PFFT!"

Everything vanished into nothingness.

From the moment Jiang Chen drew his sword to the moment he killed his opponent, only a single second had passed.

The speed was so great that even Jiang Chen himself was surprised.

The man with the dark face would never have imagined, even in death, that he would be annihilated by Jiang Chen so completely, his very soul scattered to the winds.

This time, Jiang Chen had unleashed the first, second, and third layers of the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique simultaneously.

The execution was as smooth as flowing water, its power truly Heaven-defying.

"No..."

"Damn you! You actually killed him!"

"You bastard! You’re dead! Go to hell!"

The two companions finally reacted, but it was too late. Their comrade had been killed by Jiang Chen.

Roaring in fury, they both charged toward Jiang Chen.
