Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 381: Chapter 379: A Bill of Divorcement

"Ahhh..."

A bloodcurdling scream echoed from outside the city walls.

Many of the onlookers were completely petrified.

"Look! Wan Zhenshan, the Guard Captain of the City Lord’s Mansion, is dead."

"Unbelievable. Even a Martial King Expert was burned to death by Jiang Chen’s Black Fire."

"This kid is simply heaven-defying."

Many people could only gasp in shock.

They were utterly horrified.

After all, even a Martial King Expert had died to Jiang Chen’s Black Fire.

As for the other guards from the City Lord’s Mansion, they had long since been incinerated by the Black Fire.

Not even ash remained.

And Jiang Chen had now completely surrounded the City Lord’s Mansion with his Black Fire.

"Qin Yun..."

"Since you’re unwilling to kill yourself, I’ll let you witness just how I’m going to divorce your daughter."

Fierce Black Fire blazed around Jiang Chen’s body.

He trapped everyone with the Black Fire and, at the same time, took out a sheet of paper.

Fortunately, he had the fire under control. Otherwise, the paper would have instantly turned to ash.

A brush appeared in his hand.

In front of the Qin Family and the people of the City Lord’s Mansion, he began to write swiftly.

"Jiang Chen, you dare?!"

Seeing what Jiang Chen was doing, Qin Muxue was so distraught she was on the verge of tears.

She was really about to be divorced by Jiang Chen. To her, this was a devastating blow.

It would affect the rest of her life.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

"Watch me divorce you."

Jiang Chen was unmoved.

Qin Muxue roared, "Jiang Chen, show some mercy! Don’t back me into a corner, or you will regret it."

Jiang Chen remained perfectly calm. "Did you show me any mercy when you dug out my Martial Vein?"

"Today’s outcome is the result of yesterday’s cause. You should have known this would happen."

Qin Muxue nearly collapsed, her face deathly pale.

She could only watch helplessly.

On the white paper, lines of characters leaped into existence.

It read: "Letter of Annulment!"

"Qin Muxue, daughter of the Qin Family, was once betrothed to me, Jiang Chen. However, during our engagement, she violated moral principles, failed to uphold a woman’s virtues, conspired with another man, and acted without any sense of shame."

"Furthermore, during our engagement, she plotted to murder me, Jiang Chen, dug out my Martial Vein, and abandoned all humanity."

"Therefore, I present this letter to annul our engagement."

"Lest there be no proof hereafter, this document is willingly established as evidence."

"Signed, Jiang Chen!"

Jiang Chen finished writing the letter of annulment.

He held it in his hand.

Then, in front of everyone, he read it aloud.

Qin Muxue trembled violently, her face twisting in a contorted expression.

She had been divorced by Jiang Chen with a single letter, one filled with all manner of humiliation.

She hated Jiang Chen to the bone.

"Jiang Chen, may you die a horrible death!"

"How dare you insult me like this!"

Jiang Chen said coldly, "Whether I’m insulting you or not, you know the truth in your own heart."

"Qin Muxue, I am divorcing you today. Please sign it."

He took the letter and tossed it toward Qin Muxue.

The letter of annulment slowly drifted down in front of her.

Qin Muxue stared at the letter, her mind reeling.

Beside her, Qin Yun, her father, could only watch as Jiang Chen divorced his daughter, completely unable to help.

He gritted his teeth in hatred for Jiang Chen.

"You divorce my daughter and ruin her reputation today. In the future, I will repay you a hundred times over!"

Jiang Chen said indifferently, "You should kill yourself first."

"You’ve already gone back on your word."

Qin Yun’s entire body trembled with rage, his old face flushing red.

He had already acted shamelessly and couldn’t find any words to say in front of Jiang Chen.

The moment he spoke, a single sentence from Jiang Chen had rendered him speechless.

Knowing he was in the wrong, he could only feel some sympathy for his daughter.

Jiang Chen said he would divorce her, and he did.

No one could stop him.

Qin Muxue, in a fit of rage, tore the letter of annulment to shreds.

"In your dreams! I will not sign it."

She was truly going mad.

Who would have thought that Jiang Chen would actually do something like this—divorce her in public?

Her reputation was utterly ruined.

But Jiang Chen simply picked up his brush again and wrote out several more copies.

SWOOSH!

He took one of the letters and abruptly flung it outward.

The letter flew out of the City Lord’s Mansion and stuck itself to the main gate outside.

It was displayed for everyone outside to see clearly.

"Hiss..."

"He’s truly ruthless. Jiang Chen really divorced Qin Muxue, the daughter of the Qin Family."

"This is the most aggressive divorce I’ve ever seen."

"I wonder if the Qin Family can ever recover from this."

"With this letter of annulment, even if she has attached herself to the Second Prince, once word of this spreads through the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, Qin Muxue’s reputation will be in tatters. Becoming a Princess Consort is now impossible."

In the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, every Prince could take a consort.

But there was one condition: the consort herself had to have a clean background, free of any blemishes.

But now, Qin Muxue was stained by her engagement to Jiang Chen.

She had also been publicly divorced by Jiang Chen’s letter, a letter that was now being widely circulated. From this day forward, Qin Muxue would be completely tarnished, with no hope of clearing her name.

It was now even more impossible for her to become the Second Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s Princess Consort.

At this rate, the best she could hope for was the status of a mere concubine or even a serving girl.

Concubines and serving girls were, in the end, just servants.

Therefore, Jiang Chen’s single letter of annulment was a crushing blow to Qin Muxue, who had just managed to latch onto the Second Prince. It was enough to completely ruin her reputation and ensure she would never recover.

How could Qin Muxue not hate Jiang Chen? She hated him to death.

The Qin Family was also filled with endless hatred for Jiang Chen.

Qin Muxue glared at Jiang Chen, her eyes spitting fire.

Her chest felt tight and uncomfortable.

GACK...

She spat out a mouthful of blood, her chest heaving violently.

Her gaze became exceptionally fierce.

She pointed at Jiang Chen and shrieked, "Jiang Chen, I curse you to die a horrible death! I curse eighteen generations of your ancestors!"

"You’ve ruined my innocence and sullied my name today! You will face retribution for this!"

Jiang Chen said coldly, "Qin Muxue, sign it."

"If you don’t sign, I’ll force you to."

His only thought was to divorce this woman. She was utterly vicious and unworthy of his sympathy.

Now, he would compel Qin Muxue to sign.

Once she signed, he would have successfully divorced Qin Muxue.

The letter of annulment would take effect.

Of course, the letter could take effect unilaterally. As long as Jiang Chen divorced her, Qin Muxue would have no way to object.

Qin Muxue tore up three copies of the letter in succession.

She was on the verge of a total breakdown.

She looked like she wanted to eat Jiang Chen alive.

"You..."

She couldn’t get another word out, her chest feeling suffocated.

But Jiang Chen slowly advanced on her.

SWOOSH!

Just as Jiang Chen drew near, a black shadow appeared like a phantom, blocking his path.

Jiang Chen’s pupils contracted.

’A Martial King Expert.’

’Another Martial King Expert.’

Jiang Chen’s expression turned grim.

He noticed that this Martial King Expert had been masked the entire time and hadn’t made a move until now.

This person gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

It was indeed Mr. Hei Paogu.

Mr. Gu’s voice was hoarse. "Kid, that’s enough."

Jiang Chen looked at Mr. Gu, his face cold.

"And who are you?"

He felt there was something strange about this man. With Mr. Gu now blocking his way in front of Qin Muxue, he didn’t dare act rashly.

"You don’t need to know who I am."

"But today, I will kill you."

From beneath the black robe, Mr. Gu spoke in a sinister voice.

"I should have killed you back then to silence you."

Despite his words, Mr. Gu sighed inwardly. ’Back then, I was only focused on digging out Jiang Chen’s Martial Vein and didn’t kill him.’

’But now, Jiang Chen has a Martial Vein again and has grown to such a terrifying degree.’

He greatly regretted it.

’If I had known this would happen, I would have killed Jiang Chen back then. Then none of this would have occurred.’
