Divine War Pill Emperor

"Kill!"

After a brief moment of stillness, Jiang Chen was back to his peak condition.

With his heaven-defying Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was instantly plundered, absorbed into his body, and converted into his Cultivation Power.

His recovery speed was extremely fast.

WHOOSH!

He charged toward the Celestial Brown Ridge Python.

The Celestial Brown Ridge Python was truly a mixture of shock and rage.

It had thought it could easily crush these humans, but now it was the one being hunted.

Baring its fangs with a hiss, it furiously began to battle Jiang Chen once more.

"This..."

"Jiang Chen is so strong! To think he’s fighting a Martial Master Third Heaven Celestial Brown Ridge Python to a standstill."

Niu Tuo smacked his lips, completely stunned by Jiang Chen at this point.

Even Zhan Yang gave a bitter smile. "I never expected he’d be the strongest among us. We didn’t just underestimate him."

"In fact, this is probably just the tip of the iceberg."

They were grateful to Jiang Chen.

If it weren’t for Jiang Chen, they would have already been devoured by the Celestial Brown Ridge Python, with not even a scrap left behind.

Watching Jiang Chen’s great battle, they still couldn’t help but worry for him.

JinLing’s expression was complicated.

At first, she too had thought Jiang Chen was just an ordinary Warrior Seventh Heaven. Now, it was clear his abilities far surpassed their imagination.

Lu Beifeng, a Martial Master Second Realm, couldn’t even withstand a single blow from the Celestial Brown Ridge Python, yet Jiang Chen had not only managed to last this long, he had actually managed to injure it.

"His sword... it’s too fast. Far too fast."

Although Lu Beifeng was severely injured, his eyes burned with fervor as he stared at Jiang Chen’s swordplay.

The only thing he regretted was that, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t see how Jiang Chen was drawing his sword.

He could only feel its speed—an indescribable quickness.

All masters of the sword knew that the ultimate principle of the blade was speed.

And Jiang Chen had clearly achieved this ultimate principle.

The four of them watched in a daze, none of them going to help.

They even felt that if they went over, they would only be a burden to Jiang Chen.

At the very beginning, they were the ones who had thought Jiang Chen would be the burden.

"Slice!"

Jiang Chen’s sword sliced into the Celestial Brown Ridge Python’s body once again.

By now, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python was covered in wounds, blood flowing from them ceaselessly.

It, too, consumed Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

But its consumption rate was much faster than Jiang Chen’s.

While Jiang Chen consumed it quickly, his absorption rate was even faster. As one waned, the other waxed. Jiang Chen grew braver the more he fought, becoming like a fighting machine, frantically searching for an opening.

"HISSS..."

The Celestial Brown Ridge Python roared at Jiang Chen repeatedly.

But what greeted it was another incredibly fast strike from Jiang Chen’s sword.

"Today, I swear I will not rest until I’ve slain you."

Jiang Chen seemed to have gone mad. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

He chased the Celestial Brown Ridge Python, striking out with his sword again and again, just as he had when he first started his Cultivation of the Shadowless Sword—strike, and strike again.

Wounds and bloody holes appeared abruptly all over the Celestial Brown Ridge Python’s body.

Finally, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python realized it truly couldn’t defeat Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was fighting it with a complete disregard for his own life, yet his reaction speed was also terrifyingly fast.

"ROAR..."

It spat a mouthful of venom at Jiang Chen, attempting to block his advance.

Its body then quickly fled toward the mountain cliff, preparing to escape into a cave there.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

Dodging the venom, Jiang Chen immediately gave chase.

Flashes of sword light burst forth.

Just as the Celestial Brown Ridge Python began to scale the cliff, despite its thick body, its climbing speed was astonishingly fast.

It nearly reached the top of the twenty-meter-high cliff.

PFFT!

Jiang Chen thrust his sword into the python’s tail. The Cloud Mist Sword pierced straight through its body and embedded itself in the rock face.

For a moment, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python was pinned in place.

But with a violent flick of its tail, it sent Jiang Chen’s Cloud Mist Sword flying and finally disappeared into the cliff face, seemingly having slipped into the cave above.

And just like that, the Celestial Brown Ridge Python had actually been driven away by Jiang Chen.

Zhan Yang and the others were left utterly stunned.

"Phew!"

Jiang Chen let out a long breath.

He found that he was drenched in sweat.

He had fought to his heart’s content. Although he hadn’t killed the Celestial Brown Ridge Python, the outcome of the battle was still astonishing.

"GULP..."

Seeing Jiang Chen walk over, Niu Tuo couldn’t help but swallow hard.

He was dumbfounded.

"Jiang Chen, you’re that strong?"

"You were holding back on us before."

The others stared at Jiang Chen as if they’d seen a ghost.

Jiang Chen shrugged. "Not at all. I just had a sudden burst of strength."

"I’m not sure how I managed to scare off the Celestial Brown Ridge Python either."

’I hadn’t expected that I could be so fierce when I got serious.’

Still, he had let the Celestial Brown Ridge Python escape.

He looked up at the clifftop; that seemed to be where the Moyang Flower was located.

He walked over to the group.

Seeing how badly Lu Beifeng was injured, Jiang Chen produced an Elixir and handed it to Zhan Yang.

"Have him take this. It’s a Golden Healing Pill."

What?

They saw that the Elixir Jiang Chen took out was actually golden, which meant it was a Gold Quality Elixir.

The four of them gaped in astonishment again.

The moment Jiang Chen said it was a Golden Healing Pill, the four of them nearly bit their tongues off.

The Golden Healing Pill was a Holy Medicine for healing wounds, extremely precious. A single Pill was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan crystals, perhaps even over a million.

And yet Jiang Chen had casually taken out such a terrifying Elixir.

Without even blinking.

Of course, the crucial point was its Gold Quality.

In this world, Gold Quality Elixirs were exceptionally rare.

Let alone those of Purple Gold Quality.

"Jiang Chen, what are you doing? This is far too valuable."

In the end, without even waiting for Lu Beifeng to speak, Zhan Yang refused directly.

"We can’t accept this Elixir from you, Jiang Chen. Here, take it back."

It wasn’t just pride; he knew he couldn’t take something that didn’t belong to him.

Zhan Yang had his principles.

He understood better than anyone just how precious this Golden Healing Pill was.

Even JinLing wasn’t joking around now. She advised, "Jiang Chen, really. You’ve already helped us more than enough."

"You should keep this Golden Healing Pill for yourself."

Niu Tuo wanted to say something, but in the end, he just sighed.

He didn’t say a single word.

As for Lu Beifeng, he was deeply moved upon learning it was a Golden Healing Pill.

But he listened to Zhan Yang and seemed very obedient, nodding and reluctantly tearing his gaze away from the Golden Healing Pill.

He looked at Jiang Chen. "Jiang Chen, you really have helped us too much already."

"Take it back. I’ll recover on my own, slowly."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Looking at them, he saw that although their Cultivation was not high, every one of them had great integrity.

He didn’t know the origins of the Warring States Mercenary Corps, but he greatly admired their character.

He smiled.

"In Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, any serious injury becomes a burden to one’s companions, especially an injury like yours."

"Our team isn’t particularly strong right now. If we encounter a Demon Beast like the Celestial Brown Ridge Python again, we could all be wiped out."

"Therefore, recovering from your injuries as quickly as possible is the right choice."

"Go on, take it. To me, a Golden Healing Pill isn’t all that precious."

He was persuading them with reason, not forcefully demanding that Lu Beifeng take it.

At the same time, Jiang Chen could also see that the decision-maker here was Zhan Yang. Even Lu Beifeng and Niu Tuo listened to him.

"This..."

Zhan Yang looked at Jiang Chen and saw the sincerity on his face.

He was quite moved.

Finally, he grit his teeth.

"Jiang Chen, thank you."

"Beifeng, take it. We’ll find a way to repay Jiang Chen’s kindness in the future."

In the end, Lu Beifeng took the Golden Healing Pill.
