Divine War Pill Emperor

"Why?"

Wen Bufan asked, confused.

But Jiang Chen just shook his head.

"You want to know? I’m not going to tell you."

"Wen Bufan, today, I only have one question for you: How do you want to die?"

Jiang Chen knew better than to show mercy to a beaten dog. People like Wen Bufan were faithless and untrustworthy.

He had spared Wen Bufan more than once, but Wen Bufan had never shown any gratitude.

Today, he would show no more mercy.

He advanced step by step.

"You think killing me will be that easy?"

"Black Vajra, go!"

At that moment, a savage grin spread across Wen Bufan’s face.

He shouted an order.

SWOOSH!

A figure instantly appeared in front of Wen Bufan.

That’s right, it was the Martial King Puppet that Wen Bufan had brought with him.

It was finally making its move.

The Martial King Puppet was a humanoid puppet refined by the City Lord’s Mansion using a Secret Technique and special materials, and it possessed Martial King Cultivation.

It was incredibly formidable.

As soon as the Martial King Puppet, Black Vajra, appeared, a flicker of killing intent flared as it charged straight for Jiang Chen.

Meanwhile, from within the Jiang Family’s ranks,

Elder Qi sneered.

"You want to harm our Young Master? Not a chance."

He suddenly leaped out.

His body soared through the air, heading straight for the Martial King Puppet.

Elder Qi intercepted the Martial King Puppet.

BOOM!

The moment they clashed, Elder Qi’s expression changed drastically. He was thrown back several meters.

The Martial King Puppet, however, was fearsomely strong and showed no fear of death.

It only took a single step back before pressing its attack on Elder Qi once more.

From the very first exchange, Elder Qi was at a disadvantage.

The expressions of the Jiang Family members changed dramatically.

Although Wen Bufan was pale from the backlash he had suffered, he couldn’t stop smirking.

"Jiang Chen, if this is the extent of the Jiang Family’s strength, then your annihilation is not far off."

"Just you wait for death."

He was utterly disdainful.

Just then, from among the Jiang Family,

Patriarch Jiang Han strode forward.

"Who said this is the extent of the Jiang Family’s strength?"

The moment Jiang Han appeared, the aura of a Martial King’s Cultivation erupted from him.

A terrifying pressure swept across the entire area.

The members of the Jiang Family were invigorated.

With two Martial King Experts, the Jiang Family could now be considered one of the top powers in Hanwu City.

What?

Wen Bufan, Lin Hai, and the others were utterly shocked.

They stared intently at Jiang Han.

They had never expected that Jiang Han would also possess Martial King Cultivation. It was simply unbelievable.

Their jaws dropped.

"How is this possible?"

"When did Jiang Han break through?"

Wen Bufan was aghast.

As for Lin Hai, his cultivation had been slightly higher than Jiang Han’s before, yet Jiang Han had somehow managed to break through before him.

He was stunned.

It felt like he was dreaming.

’Dammit, I thought there was something strange about him before. I can’t believe he actually broke through to Martial King Cultivation.’

While they were still in shock, Jiang Han stepped into the void, and with a flash, appeared on the battlefield where the Martial King Puppet and Elder Qi were fighting.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

With Jiang Han’s arrival, the situation changed in an instant.

The combined strength of the two Martial King Experts, Elder Qi and Jiang Han, was terrifying.

They battled the Martial King Puppet together.

That Martial King Puppet seemed to have Copper Skin and Iron Bones; it was incredibly durable.

"It’s a Puppet,"

Elder Qi said to Jiang Han.

"Puppet or not, we’ll smash it to pieces."

Jiang Han’s will to fight surged. Wielding a sword, he continuously struck the Martial King Puppet.

Even as powerful as the Martial King Puppet was, it was forced into a constant retreat by the combined assault of the two Martial King Experts.

Wen Bufan was stunned. Truly stunned.

Another unexpected variable.

’No wonder they dared to resist. With two Martial King Experts, even the City Lord’s Mansion can’t do anything to them.’

"Quick, call for help!"

Knowing the situation was critical, Wen Bufan hurriedly sent someone to the City Lord’s Mansion for reinforcements.

The Martial King Puppet could hold them off for a little while longer, but only a little while.

If reinforcements didn’t arrive, the Martial King Puppet would inevitably be defeated. Then, the people from the City Lord’s Mansion would face two Martial Kings, and their defeat would be swift and total.

Even his own fate, Wen Bufan’s fate, would be uncertain.

At the same time, the guards from the City Lord’s Mansion formed a tight circle around Wen Bufan, continuously retreating.

Jiang Chen watched the battle, not making a move just yet.

’My plan isn’t complete yet.’

’The big fish I’m waiting for hasn’t taken the bait.’

And so, the two sides continued to fight.

The Jiang Family pressed their advantage relentlessly.

While the people from the City Lord’s Mansion continuously fell back.

"Young Master, we must retreat to the City Lord’s Mansion first,"

Lin Hai suggested to Wen Bufan.

After all, their two Martial Kings were simply too powerful.

They couldn’t wait for the Martial King Puppet to be defeated before retreating. They had to take advantage of it holding back the two Martial Kings to escape.

Wen Bufan naturally didn’t object. He wasn’t an idiot and didn’t want to be killed by the Jiang Family.

They continued their retreat.

「City Lord’s Mansion.」

City Lord Wen Quan heard the news.

His face fell in shock.

’Dammit, has the Jiang Family become this powerful?’

He had been waiting for news.

The moment the Guardian Fire Sparrow appeared, he had been certain of victory.

But the sudden appearance of the Vermilion Bird had led to the Fire Sparrow’s demise.

He had started to worry and had long since prepared a large contingent of men.

The moment he heard the report,

"Quick, with me!"

"Save my son!"

He immediately led the large force and rushed toward the Jiang Family estate to rescue his son, Wen Bufan.

"KILL...!"

Jiang Han and Elder Qi simultaneously slammed their attacks into the Martial King Puppet.

Despite the Martial King Puppet’s strength, it was beaten black and blue by the two Martial Kings, on the verge of collapsing.

Wen Bufan and his men grew anxious.

"Stop!"

Just then, a loud shout echoed.

The shout lifted Wen Bufan’s spirits.

"Father! My father is here!"

He knew his father, Wen Quan, had come to save him.

Jiang Han and Elder Qi both ceased their pursuit.

Seeing the large force from the City Lord’s Mansion appear, they knew this would be another tough fight.

Besides the Martial King Puppet, the City Lord’s Mansion also had a formidable steward who was a Martial King Expert—not someone to be underestimated.

"Greetings, City Lord."

Jiang Han and Elder Qi landed and gave a slight bow with cupped fists toward City Lord Wen Quan.

They had no choice. They truly didn’t want to fight the City Lord’s Mansion, but Wen Bufan had pushed them too far, forcing their hand.

"Hmph!"

Wen Quan led his large force to join up with Wen Bufan’s men.

The Martial King Puppet also landed and stood beside Wen Quan.

He was the first to snort.

Wen Quan said with a cold smile, "A whole group of you ganging up on my son. Do you find this amusing?"

"If I hadn’t come, were you planning to kill my son today?"

"Patriarch of the Jiang Family?"

His expression was frosty as he looked at Jiang Han and Elder Qi.

His pupils contracted sharply.

’Two Martial Kings. The Jiang Family actually has two Martial Kings.’

He knew this was indeed going to be troublesome.

Their strength was formidable.

It was now directly comparable to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Jiang Han replied nonchalantly, "City Lord, your son pushed us too hard. I had no choice but to strike back."

"I have no desire to fight with the City Lord’s Mansion either."

He was speaking the truth.

The Jiang Family had been enduring patiently, but Wen Bufan had come to bully them on several occasions.

After repeatedly sizing up Jiang Han and Elder Qi,

Wen Quan suddenly sighed.

He spoke with a tone of envy, "I never thought you would be the first to break through to the Martial King Cultivation realm."

Jiang Han laughed. "Just a stroke of luck."

There was a tacit understanding between the two; neither intended to start a war. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Jiang Han, how about we let this matter rest for now?"

He had weighed the pros and cons. If a fight broke out, the City Lord’s Mansion would not have the upper hand.

Even with the Martial King Puppet and a steward who was a Martial King by his side,

the other side also had two Martial King Experts.
