Divine War Pill Emperor

Feng Qi had offered triple the fee to persuade the black-clad Golden Saber Expert to withdraw.

The black-clad man, however, paid him no mind. "Once the Blood Hand Gang accepts a mission," he stated, "it remains active until it’s complete."

"No amount of money is worth more than the reputation of the Blood Hand Gang."

"So, you can save your money and spend it in the afterlife."

"Now, hand over your head."

With that, the man in black charged forward, Golden Saber in hand.

A terrifying killing intent rolled off him.

Seeing this, Feng Qi’s expression changed drastically.

He yelled frantically, "Go! Stop him!"

At this moment, Feng Qi was in a panic. He had truly never imagined that he would be targeted for assassination by the Blood Hand Gang.

’Someone must have paid to hire their assassins.’

When Lu Xing and the others heard Feng Qi’s command, they charged forward without a second thought, despite their boundless terror.

"Kill!"

"Protect the City Lord!"

Following a great roar from Lu Xing, the thousands of guards in the City Lord’s Mansion immediately swarmed the man in black.

The entire City Lord’s Mansion was instantly plunged into a vicious melee.

SHINK! SHINK! SHINK!

The man in black brandished his Golden Saber. Wherever the blade passed, the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion were effortlessly slain, falling like scarecrows.

Rolling heads, splattering blood, and severed limbs filled the air.

The man in black was like a Demon God, his killing endless.

He carved a path back and forth through the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Ahhh—!"

After only a short while, the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion, even those unafraid of death, were now shaking so badly they had no strength left in their limbs.

Some even dropped to the ground to play dead.

The man in black was too powerful, unnervingly so.

Agonized screams echoed ceaselessly throughout the City Lord’s Mansion.

Lu Xing let out a great roar.

"Kill!"

He charged at the man in black, heedless of the danger.

All to protect the City Lord.

"A mere ant."

The man in black casually swung his Golden Saber at the charging Lu Xing. A brilliant flash of light erupted from the blade, sweeping over Lu Xing.

SWOOSH...

Lu Xing, a man with a Fifth Heaven Martial King Cultivation, was instantly cleaved in two. The halves of his body flew to either side.

Seeing Guard Captain Lu Xing fall, the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion completely lost their will to fight.

Having watched their brothers die one after another, they now feared the man in black as they would a hungry tiger.

They began to fall back, step by step.

"No—!"

Feng Qi cried out in horror, forced to watch as Lu Xing was cut down in a single blow.

His roar was truly heart-rending; Lu Xing was his distant nephew, and he had just been killed.

"You demon! I’ll fight you to the death!"

Feng Qi roared, his eyes bloodshot, and prepared to charge the man in black.

DRIP... DROP...

Blood dripped steadily from the Golden Saber in the man’s hand, one drop after another falling to the ground.

He advanced step by step, and the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion were so terrified they lost their wits. Some even stumbled and fell as they backed away.

The scene had descended into chaos.

"How amusing."

"I don’t particularly enjoy killing the innocent, but if you’re determined to die, then come ahead."

The man in black let out a sinister laugh.

He continued to close in on Feng Qi.

Seeing this, the steward, Zhu Sanbao, hastily grabbed Feng Qi.

"City Lord, calm down! This man is terrifyingly powerful."

"I’ll hold him off! You must escape!"

They now understood the situation. The Golden Saber Expert was simply too powerful. Even if every last person in the City Lord’s Mansion died, they wouldn’t be a match for him.

It would be better to let the City Lord escape.

If Feng Qi actually fled, he might be able to save his own life.

But Feng Qi shook his head.

"I am the City Lord. Xingyuan City needs me."

"Anyone can flee, but I, Feng Qi, cannot."

Feng Qi refused to flee. Though he feared the man in black, he had his principles. He would not be the kind of City Lord to desert his post. If people learned that their City Lord had fled, he would have no place left in this world.

"Hu’er, go! You need to leave, now!"

"I’m going to fight him to the death."

Although he wouldn’t flee himself, Feng Qi still urged his son to escape.

Feng Hu’s face was a mask of terror. He wanted to run, but hearing his father’s words, he could only manage a bitter smile.

"Father, I can’t run away. I can’t be a deserter."

Suddenly, he thought of something.

He said to Feng Qi, "Father, we still have hope."

Feng Qi stared blankly for a moment, then asked, "What hope?"

Feng Hu said excitedly, "Have you forgotten? The Black Fire that Chenxi Pavilion delivered today... didn’t they say that if the City Lord’s Mansion was in trouble, Chenxi Pavilion would help us?"

At that moment, a jolt went through Feng Qi.

He had almost forgotten.

’But then again,’ he thought, ’no matter how powerful Chenxi Pavilion is, how could they possibly stand against the fearsome Blood Hand Gang?’

’Besides, it’s not certain that an expert from Chenxi Pavilion could even defeat this Golden Saber Expert.’

In the end, he shook his head. "Chenxi Pavilion... might not be able to save us."

"Son, do you really believe Chenxi Pavilion can save us?"

After a moment’s thought, Feng Hu said firmly, "Father, whether they can save us or not, shouldn’t we at least try?"

"Father, I’ll go smash the Crystal Bottle."

With that, he rushed into the main hall.

They had carefully stored away the Crystal Bottle from Chenxi Pavilion, never thinking they would need it so soon.

Regardless, Feng Hu felt they had to try.

None of the City Lord’s Mansion guards dared to face the man in black any longer.

They cowered to the side; to charge forward now would be nothing but suicide.

Who didn’t cherish their own life?

DRIP... DRIP... DRIP...

Blood still dripped, drop by drop, from the man’s blade.

He walked to within ten meters of Feng Qi and said indifferently, "All right, let’s not waste any more time. Feng Qi, you can die now."

With that, he shot forward.

Straight for Feng Qi.

"City Lord, run! I’ll hold him back!"

At the critical moment, the steward, Zhu Sanbao, appeared before the man in black.

A Fencing Sword appeared in his hand, lashing out.

He was ready to fight the man in black.

But he was no match for the man in black.

Was there anyone from the Blood Hand Gang who wasn’t a terrifying killer? Moreover, they specialized in assassination.

CHNK!

Zhu Sanbao’s figure froze in place.

He stood there, the tip of the man in black’s Golden Saber protruding from his chest.

"Sanbao...!"

Feng Qi cried out again, his voice a horrified roar.

Zhu Sanbao was dead. Just like that.

SHLICK!

The man in black withdrew his Golden Saber, and Zhu Sanbao’s body collapsed, his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.

His Life Force was instantly extinguished by the man in black.

Then, the man in black strode directly toward Feng Qi.

Feng Qi could feel the terrifying power of his opponent.

Yet, now fearless in the face of death, he charged his opponent.

"Tiger Roar Kill!"

"ROAR!"

With his roar, the spectral image of a ferocious, grizzled tiger appeared around him, roaring savagely at the man in black.

This was the Tiger Roar Kill that Feng Qi cultivated.

With his Cultivation at the First Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect, he would have an eighty percent chance of victory against an expert of the same level.

"Utterly clueless."

The man in black was disdainful.

A terrifying aura finally erupted from his body.

BOOM!

Only in that moment did Feng Qi realize that his opponent was an expert at the Third Heaven of the Martial Arts Sect.
