Divine War Pill Emperor

Because they were wary of Elder Resentment’s status as the National Guardian Envoy of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

The members of the Jiang Family were all terrified and uneasy.

The Fire Sparrow Kingdom, after all, had nine cities under its jurisdiction, and Hanwu City, where the Jiang Family resided, was one of them.

Not to mention their strength, which wasn’t even one-ten-thousandth of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom’s.

After all, the strongest expert in their Jiang Family only had a Martial Master Cultivation.

The National Guardian Envoys of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom were all Martial King Experts.

Jiang Han also spoke up, urging Jiang Chen to sign.

Jiang Chen saw his family’s fear of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

He gave a faint smile.

He didn’t give this Elder Resentment a second thought.

He slowly walked toward Qin Muxue.

"Jiang Chen, I’ll get you back for slapping me sooner or later."

"Just sign the paper first."

She glared at Jiang Chen with hatred, as if she wanted to devour him with her eyes.

Jiang Chen held her annulment document in his hand.

He said calmly, "Remember, that slap was me teaching you how to be a decent person."

"As for signing the annulment..."

Just as Qin Muxue thought Jiang Chen was about to sign...

Jiang Chen suddenly flicked his wrist, flinging the annulment document from his hand.

SLAP!

The document smacked right across Qin Muxue’s face.

What?

Everyone was stunned once again.

The members of the Qin Family roared in fury.

"Kid, you’re courting death!"

Their Eldest Miss Qin had just been hit in the face with the annulment document by Jiang Chen again.

Elder Resentment was furious. He had brought Qin Muxue here to annul a marriage, only to have her humiliated twice.

His rage was no small matter.

He abruptly channeled the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to his Dantian and once again activated the Fire Sparrow Seal.

With a wave of his hand toward Jiang Chen...

BUZZ...

Once more, a crimson Firebird manifested as the Fire Sparrow Seal and shot down to suppress Jiang Chen.

"Son..."

"Chen’er..."

Jiang Han and his wife were scared to death. They cried out in alarm, with no time to come to his rescue.

It was one thing for their son not to sign, but to throw the annulment document in someone’s face... it was completely unexpected.

Especially with Elder Resentment, who had a Martial King Cultivation, standing right there.

The other members of the Jiang Family all drew a sharp breath, not daring to watch what would happen next.

They were afraid Jiang Chen would be smashed into a pulp by Elder Resentment’s Fire Sparrow Seal.

Qin Muxue snapped out of her daze.

She couldn’t believe it. After having his Martial Vein stolen, not only had Jiang Chen’s personality completely changed...

...but he was also utterly ruthless toward her, showing no mercy and slapping her in the face twice in a row.

He had humiliated her twice.

Her hatred for Jiang Chen was now bone-deep.

’Trash, just die! Go die!’

’Elder Resentment will kill you!’

She screamed frantically in her heart, her eyes filled with venomous malice.

It was as if she had forgotten that she was the one who had schemed to have his Martial Vein stolen.

BUZZ...

As the Fire Sparrow Seal attacked again, Jiang Chen’s expression remained unchanged, exuding an air of calm composure.

He was the very picture of someone who wouldn’t flinch even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

His composure was astonishing.

Just as the Fire Sparrow Seal was about to descend, Jiang Chen focused his will.

He softly and almost inaudibly uttered a single word.

"Devour."

In that instant, the Fire Sparrow Seal once again stopped precariously in front of Jiang Chen, just like the first time.

Then, without pausing, the Fire Sparrow Seal instantly changed.

It shot back, counter-attacking Elder Resentment.

This time, the counter-attack seemed even more powerful.

"Not good..."

At the same moment, Elder Resentment sensed something was wrong. The Power of Fire within his body began to fluctuate strangely.

A sense of danger washed over him again, even more intense than the first time.

The Fire Sparrow Seal was backfiring. It was the second backlash.

Elder Resentment was horrified.

It was too late to even try to escape.

The crucial point was that the Fire Sparrow Seal originated from his own body. To others, it merely looked like it was returning to him.

But only he knew this wasn’t a return—it was a backlash.

A backlash against its own master.

Such a bizarre event had now occurred twice in a short span of time.

BOOM!

The Fire Sparrow Seal slammed into Elder Resentment’s body.

Elder Resentment’s body instantly began to tremble. In the blink of an eye, he was thrown backward, crashing into the distance and convulsing uncontrollably.

Blood streamed from his seven orifices, and wisps of black smoke even rose from his body.

"Elder Resentment..."

The Qin Family members were flabbergasted. Seeing Elder Resentment suffer a backlash from his own Fire Sparrow Seal twice was enough to make their jaws drop to the floor.

Someone rushed over to help Elder Resentment up.

Elder Resentment’s aged body was now trembling violently, his face deathly pale.

It seemed his Primordial Qi had been severely damaged.

He was in extreme pain. An expert with a Martial King Cultivation had been mysteriously injured twice in a row, and he still couldn’t find the reason.

’Is it really just a backlash?’

He glanced at Jiang Chen. ’This young man is very strange.’

He had been unnervingly calm when facing the Fire Sparrow Seal.

After a while, Elder Resentment stopped trembling, but the blood flowing from his orifices was a ghastly sight.

A Martial King expert of his generation had completely lost face.

He felt the stares of the Jiang Family were full of ridicule.

’Aren’t you a Martial King expert?’

’How could you suffer a backlash from your own Cultivation Technique twice in a row?’

The Jiang Family members were indeed finding this situation very strange.

It was utterly baffling.

However, seeing a Martial King Expert get mysteriously injured twice right in front of them was actually quite thrilling.

Jiang Han and Xiao Yun were both agape, at a loss for words.

Their son had faced an attack from a Martial King Expert and seemed completely unharmed, while Elder Resentment was anything but lightly injured.

But Jiang Chen completely ignored Elder Resentment’s injuries.

Here, only he knew why Elder Resentment was hurt.

’In my presence, the Fire Sparrow Seal not only won’t harm me, but it will even protect me and backfire on the user.’

’This is the benefit of the Cultivation Technique I created.’

After all, the opponent’s Fire Sparrow Seal still contained the Spiritual Qi that Jiang Chen had left in it a thousand years ago.

TAP, TAP...

Jiang Chen walked up to Qin Muxue.

He stared coldly at her.

Qin Muxue looked at Jiang Chen, still perfectly unscathed, and felt a strange sense of fear.

’Why is this cripple making me feel scared?’

She didn’t understand.

Jiang Chen stood in the main hall, his voice laced with ice.

"Qin Muxue, this engagement isn’t something you can just annul whenever you feel like it."

"Now, get lost and wait."

He pointed toward the entrance of the hall.

"One year from now, I will come to Guyue City and personally serve you a letter of divorce."

Jiang Chen’s voice was resolute and unquestionable.

His resolve was absolute.

’Annul the marriage? Impossible.’ Jiang Chen wouldn’t let Qin Muxue off so easily. Otherwise, how could he do right by the Jiang Chen who had died?

The matter of his stolen Martial Vein would be settled then.

The Jiang Family members were stunned.

Jiang Chen had actually chosen this path.

The Qin Family wanted to annul the engagement, but Jiang Chen declared he would be the one to serve the divorce papers a year later.

What an arrogant man he was.

But the Jiang Chen of today seemed to actually have the right to be so arrogant.

It was just that Qin Muxue didn’t know it yet.

"Good! A man of our Jiang Family should have this kind of backbone!"

"A woman like that deserves to be divorced!"

Xiao Yun was full of praise for her son. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The other members of the Jiang Family all had extremely strange expressions.

They looked toward Qin Muxue.

Qin Muxue’s face was ashen.

"You..."

She pointed at Jiang Chen, unable to believe it. He wouldn’t let her annul the marriage, but instead, he was going to divorce her.

Annulling the marriage versus being divorced were two completely different outcomes.

By annulling the marriage, she held the initiative. Others would say it was the Jiang Family’s fault.

But if she were divorced, it would imply that she, Qin Muxue, was the one with a problem. Usually, a woman was only divorced when the man found her character or morals contemptible.

Being divorced would cause serious damage to her reputation.

She never expected Jiang Chen to be so merciless.

She wanted to ask Elder Resentment for help, but he was already severely injured.

Finally, endless fury erupted in Qin Muxue’s eyes.

"Fine. Very fine. You’ve got guts, Jiang Chen."

"If you dare to come and divorce me in a year, I, Qin Muxue, will make sure you die without a burial place!"

"I’ll be waiting for you in Guyue City."

Then, she said to the members of the Qin Family, "We’re leaving."

They hastily left with Elder Resentment.

Even Elder Resentment cast a somewhat puzzled glance at the young man, Jiang Chen.
