Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 364: Chapter 362: Forever a Waste

On a street leading to the Qin Family’s estate, a large, burly man with a thick beard and a cold gaze walked steadily forward.

Members of the City Lord’s Mansion and the Qin Family occasionally passed by, but none of them paid the burly man any mind.

This burly man was, of course, Jiang Chen in disguise.

’Looks like my Disguise Technique is pretty good. The Qin Family can’t recognize me at all.’

As he walked, Jiang Chen didn’t need to ask for directions; he already knew the precise location of the Qin Family’s estate.

About half an hour later, Jiang Chen appeared outside the Qin Family Mansion.

At this moment, everyone in the Qin Family thought Jiang Chen was dead.

They weren’t on guard against him at all.

Of course, the Qin Family was a major clan, considered a first-rate power in Guyue City.

As such, they maintained strict security at all times.

"Who goes there?"

"Halt! This is the Qin Family estate. Trespassers will be killed."

A Qin Family guard immediately barked at Jiang Chen.

The dignity of the Qin Family was not to be challenged.

But Jiang Chen remained unfazed.

He said coolly, "Inform your young miss that an old friend has come to visit. Ask her to come out and meet me."

What?

The Qin Family members were all stunned.

Looking for their young miss? An old friend of the young miss?

Hearing that it concerned their young miss, they dared not delay and hurried inside to report.

As for Qin Muxue, when she heard that an old friend had come to visit, she was puzzled.

She thought for a moment but couldn’t recall any such person.

Her brow furrowed slightly.

"Who could it be? I’ll go take a look."

And so, Qin Muxue went outside the Qin Mansion.

Seeing the burly, bearded man standing before the main gate only deepened her displeasure.

She truly did not recognize the visitor.

Her tone turned sour.

She snapped, "Who are you? How dare you impersonate an old friend of mine, Qin Muxue."

"It seems you have a death wish."

She looked him up and down dozens of times, but she simply could not remember ever meeting such a person.

Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh.

"Don’t be hasty. Perhaps I should show you a different face."

Then, right in front of Qin Muxue and the other Qin Family members, Jiang Chen’s entire form shifted.

WHOOSH!

The next moment, a different figure stood in his place.

It was Jiang Chen.

He was clad in a black robe, his face handsome and resolute.

He had the appearance of a dashing young master.

But this Jiang Chen emanated an icy aura.

"Uh..."

Qin Muxue stared at the man before her, the familiar sight making her feel as if she were in a dream.

She stared at Jiang Chen in disbelief, her scalp tingling with dread.

A chill shot up from the soles of her feet.

That’s right. It was Jiang Chen. He had come after all.

She couldn’t help but gasp, "It’s you? Jiang Chen?"

Her tone was filled with utter disbelief.

Jiang Chen chuckled softly. "What’s the matter? Is my arrival so unusual?"

"There’s no need to be shocked."

"I would have thought you’d be prepared."

He gazed dispassionately at the woman before him—so familiar, yet so strange.

This was the woman who had ruined this body’s previous owner.

Jiang Chen had sworn to avenge the body’s original owner, and he was a man of his word.

The one-year appointment was almost here, and now he had arrived.

He was going to annul his engagement to the woman before him.

And then, he was going to kill her.

Qin Muxue was utterly horrified. She trembled from head to toe and stumbled back several steps.

It seemed she was still somewhat afraid of Jiang Chen.

This was the brat who had slapped her in front of the entire Jiang Family.

It had been a humiliation, but it had also dealt her a heavy blow, making her long to kill Jiang Chen and avenge herself, yet she remained wary of this madman.

Even with Elder Resentment, a Martial King, present, Jiang Chen had still dared to strike her.

"Young Miss, who is he?"

A few of the Qin Family guards couldn’t help but ask, their curiosity piqued.

They could clearly see that their young miss did, in fact, know the visitor.

Qin Muxue ignored the guards and shouted at Jiang Chen, "How are you still alive? Weren’t you already dead?"

"You entered that place with the Fierce Beast! How could you possibly have survived?"

What she found even harder to believe was that Jiang Chen had actually escaped from beneath the City Lord’s Mansion’s Devil’s Prison.

She already knew a terrifying Fierce Beast dwelled there, and no one who entered could escape death.

Jiang Chen’s survival had far exceeded her expectations.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen’s heart stirred.

He now fully understood. His capture by the City Lord’s Mansion was indeed connected to the Qin Family.

He sneered again. "So you knew about it."

"Haha! How laughable. Your Qin Family conspired with the City Lord’s Mansion to deal with me? You wanted me dead?"

"But I’m afraid I’ve disappointed you. I, Jiang Chen, am still alive."

"Qin Muxue, today, I will annul our engagement, you bitch! No one can stop me."

Hearing Jiang Chen’s cold words, Qin Muxue’s heart pounded wildly.

If Jiang Chen wasn’t dead, he would annul the engagement, ruining her reputation.

She was seething with rage.

She pointed a finger at Jiang Chen and snarled, "You piece of trash! What right do you have to annul our engagement?"

"You’re just a good-for-nothing who lost his Martial Vein. You were trash in the past, and you’re still trash now!"

She scanned him and noticed that the aura around Jiang Chen was very faint; his Cultivation was clearly not high.

Thus, a contemptuous expression returned to her face.

’Even if Jiang Chen is alive, he can’t do anything to me, Qin Muxue.’

"You can’t even get past the gates of our Qin Family."

"You’ll always be a piece of trash."

In her haste, Qin Muxue wanted to strike another harsh blow to Jiang Chen’s pride, hoping he would back down in the face of difficulty.

Jiang Chen’s expression was calm, completely unmoved.

Not only had he changed his appearance, but he had also concealed his Cultivation.

Now, amidst Qin Muxue’s taunts, he slowly took a step forward.

He said coolly, "Very well. I’ll let you see my true strength."

As he spoke, the aura around Jiang Chen transformed.

BOOM!

In the next instant, a sky-shattering aura erupted from him and shot toward the heavens.

The aura was accompanied by a thunderous roar.

The power radiating from his body surged, climbing higher and higher.

It shot past the level of a Warrior’s Cultivation, instantly reaching the aura of a Martial Master.

Finally, it settled at the level of a Fifth Heaven Martial Master.

The pressure was overwhelming.

After releasing his Cultivation, Jiang Chen stared at Qin Muxue. "Now, do you still dare say that I am a piece of trash?"

BZZZZ...

Feeling the fluctuations of Jiang Chen’s Fifth Heaven Martial Master Cultivation,

even with her worldly experience in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, her mind went blank and her entire body trembled violently.

Her eyes widened, unable to believe what she was seeing.

"No, impossible..."

"You can’t be this strong..."

She simply could not accept Jiang Chen’s current level of power.

Jiang Chen was actually a Fifth Heaven Martial Master.

In one year, a single short year, Jiang Chen’s Cultivation had gone from that of a cripple with no Martial Vein to that of a Fifth Heaven Martial Master.

In that same year, she, Qin Muxue, despite having a huge advantage by using resources from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, had only just managed to reach the First Heaven Martial Master Cultivation.

The gap between them was immense.

In just one year, Jiang Chen had left her far behind in the dust.

She couldn’t even hope to catch up.

She couldn’t accept it.

Her face was deathly pale as she shook her head vehemently.

"No, this has to be fake..."

Jiang Chen sneered, "Qin Muxue, are you afraid to face reality?"
