Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 385: Chapter 383: Annihilation Strike

As the Black Gold Silk Armor shattered, Jiang Chen’s heart turned to ice.

He stared at Grand General Ming Zhe.

"Today, I’m going to make you pay."

Back on Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, Wen Shixuan’s men had enslaved him.

And now, they were trying to steal his Black Fire again.

He let out a low growl.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Grand General Ming Zhe was incredibly strong, and Jiang Chen knew he was no match for him. But at this point, Jiang Chen was ready to throw caution to the wind.

As for Grand General Ming Zhe, he was utterly surprised to see Jiang Chen actually get back on his feet.

He was astonished.

"Well, kid, you’ve got some grit. Still able to stand."

"Take another palm strike from me."

Grand General Ming Zhe had no intention of killing Jiang Chen; he wanted to capture him alive.

He took another step forward and sent a palm strike flying toward Jiang Chen.

Even though Jiang Chen’s Cultivation was low, the Grand General showed no signs of holding back.

He attacked without mercy, despite Jiang Chen’s severe injuries.

"I’ll fight you to the death!"

Jiang Chen, wreathed in Black Fire, suddenly gritted his teeth.

He activated the Blazing Fire Technique.

He forced out all the Black Fire that had been born from the Black Fire Spark, causing it to erupt from his body.

The Black Fire surged violently.

As Grand General Ming Zhe closed in, he expected to see Jiang Chen paralyzed with fear. Instead, he was surprised to see a strange smile spread across Jiang Chen’s face.

It was a ferocious, twisted grin.

’What is this kid planning?’

’Does he have some kind of trump card?’

Though puzzled, he didn’t slow down in the slightest. He arrived in front of Jiang Chen even faster.

Their eyes met. Grand General Ming Zhe was calm, but Jiang Chen’s gaze was wild with madness.

"Black Fire, self-destruct!"

"Burn!"

Finally, as Grand General Ming Zhe appeared before him, Jiang Chen threw all caution to the wind and roared.

That’s right—he was going to detonate the Black Fire.

The Black Fire was already immensely powerful. Its self-destruction would be, without a doubt, terrifying.

"BUZZZZZZ..."

Following Jiang Chen’s crazed roar, the world itself began to hum and tremble.

Waves of terrifying heat radiated in all directions.

As the master of the Black Fire, his Spiritual Qi was infused within the Black Fire Spark. No matter how powerful the flames were, they would not harm him now.

Thus, standing amidst the inferno, he looked like a crazed Fire God.

Only Grand General Ming Zhe, at this very moment, felt his body suddenly jolt.

He stared in disbelief at the boy before him. Jiang Chen was actually detonating his Black Fire.

"Kid, don’t be rash!"

He was terrified. If Jiang Chen detonated the Black Fire Spark itself, then even killing Jiang Chen would be pointless.

Even Wen Shixuan’s face paled.

He shouted urgently, "Ming Zhe, quick! Stop him from detonating the Black Fire Spark!"

"Don’t let him destroy the Black Fire!"

They all thought Jiang Chen was detonating the Black Fire Spark.

In reality, Jiang Chen was only detonating the Black Fire itself.

He wasn’t foolish enough to destroy the Black Fire Spark he had worked so hard to obtain.

As long as the Black Fire Spark existed, it could continuously generate more Black Fire.

Grand General Ming Zhe grew anxious.

Ignoring the danger, his eyes widened.

"Demon Heaven Claw!"

Grand General Ming Zhe’s most formidable attack was his Demon Heaven Claw.

Once unleashed, the Demon Heaven Claw could tear through anything, its power utterly terrifying.

It was the Divine Technique that had made Grand General Ming Zhe famous.

Now, with Jiang Chen detonating the Black Fire, he needed to stop him quickly.

He formed his hand into a claw and thrust it mercilessly into the heart of the Black Fire.

He had to stop Jiang Chen from detonating the Black Fire Spark.

But this only made Jiang Chen even more frenzied.

He continuously channeled the Blazing Fire Technique.

"Explode!"

He finally uttered the single fatal word.

"RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE..."

The Black Fire instantly went off like a detonated cannonball, roaring to life.

The entire City Lord’s Mansion trembled from the blast.

The booming was incessant.

Even before the main explosion, a shockwave swept out in all directions, roaring into the distance.

Standing to the side, the faces of Wen Shixuan, Qin Yun, Zhao Bing, and the others changed drastically.

Seeing the shockwave from the Black Fire’s detonation rushing toward them, they scrambled to escape.

But the shockwave was too fast.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

The shockwave swept over everything, engulfing Zhao Bing, Wen Shixuan, and the others.

Even the Martial King Experts couldn’t escape the blast wave in time.

Caught in the aftermath, their bodies were sent flying against their will.

Screams echoed endlessly.

Severed limbs flew through the air.

"ARGH...!"

Even though Wen Shixuan did his best to resist, the Black Fire’s self-destruction still blew off one of his arms.

He watched in horror as, after a searing flash of pain, his arm simply vanished.

As for Zhao Bing, Qin Yun, Qin Muxue, and Mr. Gu, they were all thrown back in a sorry state before crashing to the ground.

One by one, they coughed up blood relentlessly.

The guards of the City Lord’s Mansion were either dead or grievously wounded—a truly ghastly sight.

The members of the Qin Family were either vomiting blood or convulsing on the ground. It was a scene straight out of the apocalypse.

"Damn it, that bastard!"

"He actually detonated his Black Fire!"

Someone cursed furiously, a clear sign that their injuries were not light.

At the same time, the force of the Black Fire’s detonation slammed directly into the walls of the City Lord’s Mansion courtyard.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

The continuous shockwaves were like an endless barrage of cannon fire.

Many buildings within the City Lord’s Mansion were effortlessly obliterated, crumbling and collapsing under the explosive force.

The roaring was constant amidst clouds of dust and flying debris.

Even the exceptionally sturdy walls of the City Lord’s Mansion were forcibly flattened by the Black Fire’s detonation.

The blast’s power surged outward.

The crowd of onlookers outside had no idea what was happening.

Feeling the earth rumble and shake, they took to their heels and fled.

"Run!"

"The City Lord’s Mansion is exploding!"

The crowd scattered in every direction.

Finally, the dust settled.

Mr. Gu and the others, their clothes tattered, faces pale, and bodies covered in blood, stared in horror toward the spot where Jiang Chen and Grand General Ming Zhe had been fighting.

In that instant, they were stunned.

Right before their eyes, a massive crater had appeared.

It was a shocking sight. Smoke and dust billowed continuously from within the pit.

Jiang Chen stood in the center of the crater, covered in dirt but otherwise completely unharmed.

They searched but couldn’t find Grand General Ming Zhe anywhere.

Until...

"COUGH, COUGH..."

"Son of a bitch... almost blew my damn self up..."

Someone coughed incessantly as they crawled out from the dust.

The figure was unmistakably Grand General Ming Zhe.

He was now dozens of meters away from Jiang Chen.

When the Black Fire had detonated, Grand General Ming Zhe had been at the very epicenter of the blast, absorbing the most terrifying part of its power.

Fortunately, his profound Cultivation allowed him to withstand the majority of the explosion’s force.

He looked a bit disheveled now, his face covered in black soot.

He wiped the soot from his face forcefully, his expression turning frigid as he looked at Jiang Chen.

He clearly hadn’t sustained any major injuries—such were the benefits of a profound Cultivation.

But when he quickly glanced around, his jaw dropped.

The entire City Lord’s Mansion had been leveled.

He frantically searched for Wen Shixuan.

"Crown Prince...!"

With a cry of alarm, Grand General Ming Zhe rushed toward the crowd of blasted bodies, searching for Wen Shixuan.

Finally, amidst the scattered limbs, he found Wen Shixuan himself, who had lost an arm in the blast.

He was already screaming like a stuck pig from the pain.
