Divine War Pill Emperor

Master Yuan Hui was just about to make his move.

But Lord Wen suddenly spoke up, stopping Master Yuan Hui.

"National Preceptor, let me handle this."

Master Yuan Hui froze, looking at Sovereign Wen with some surprise. "Sovereign, your esteemed self cannot possibly act personally. Allow me to eliminate this brat."

But Lord Wen shook his head and insisted, "Since he dares to challenge me, I’m rather curious to see what this boy is truly capable of."

"If it’s just this paltry Black Fire, it’s not enough to threaten me."

That was right. Although the Black Fire was potent, the amount Jiang Chen possessed was small. Moreover, his Cultivation was low, so he couldn’t unleash its true power.

Lord Wen paid it no mind at all.

After a moment’s hesitation, Master Yuan Hui nodded. "Very well!"

With that, he shot Jiang Chen a vicious glare and consciously stepped back, yielding his position to Lord Wen.

Lord Wen stood with his hands behind his back, looking down on Jiang Chen with contempt.

"Brat, you want to challenge me? I must say, your nerve is something else."

"In that case, I will accept your challenge and fight you."

"Make your move."

Jiang Chen suddenly smiled.

Jiang Chen was naturally overjoyed that Lord Wen had agreed to fight.

This was exactly what he wanted—for Lord Wen to make a move.

He immediately said, "You first."

He had his own plan, which involved not attacking Lord Wen proactively.

Lord Wen was taken aback once again.

’This kid isn’t just arrogant,’ he thought, ’he’s outrageously ignorant.’

He shook his head slightly.

"Very well, then. I shall make my move."

"When you die, don’t blame me."

As he spoke, Lord Wen suddenly beckoned with his hand.

"Fire Sparrow Seal."

As Lord Wen acted, a soaring Fire Sparrow, wreathed in burning flames, flew out from his body.

"CHIRP... CHIRP..."

The soaring Fire Sparrow let out a series of shrill cries, its presence so immense that it dyed half the sky above Gambling City red.

Although it wasn’t a real Fire Sparrow, it was beginning to solidify into a tangible form.

Following that, the Fire Sparrow cried out, its eyes radiating a fiery glow.

"Go."

With a wave of Lord Wen’s hand, the Fire Sparrow shot straight toward Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen just stood there, watching the Fire Sparrow, completely unmoved.

"He’s dead. That kid is definitely dead."

"He’s asking to die! Facing the Fire Sparrow Seal and he’s just standing there? He can just wait for death."

Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi both watched Jiang Chen, feeling a sense of pity for him.

They alone knew the power of the Fire Sparrow Seal. When their father unleashed it, its might was nearly on par with that of a Martial Emperor Expert, even if it couldn’t quite defeat one.

And Jiang Chen was merely a Martial King Expert.

Even Master Yuan Hui was taken aback for a moment, before sneering, "This kid must be scared stiff by the Fire Sparrow Seal, isn’t he?"

"Hm?"

But then he noticed how calm Jiang Chen’s expression was, and his brow furrowed slightly.

’What is this kid up to now?’

In his eyes, Jiang Chen had always been unnervingly strange. Even after investigating him, they had failed to uncover his true background.

Now, his lack of resistance in the face of the Fire Sparrow Seal would be suicidal for any ordinary person.

But seeing it from Jiang Chen, Master Yuan Hui had the strange feeling that he was actually very confident.

"CHIRP... CHIRP..."

The Fire Sparrow arrived in an instant, bringing with it an intense, scorching heat.

This heat came from a Pill Fire, not a Fire of Heaven and Earth on the level of Jiang Chen’s Black Fire.

Although it wasn’t as powerful as the Black Fire, Jiang Chen’s Black Fire was currently just a fledgling flame; it had not yet evolved into its final form.

If Jiang Chen’s Black Fire were to fully evolve, its power would be absolutely world-destroying.

Nevertheless, the Fire Sparrow’s Pill Fire was still terrifying.

Yet Jiang Chen still made no move.

At that moment, everyone from Huo Wu’s group to Mr. Jiao and Xiao Jun cried out in alarm.

"Jiang Chen, get out of the way!"

But Jiang Chen acted as if he hadn’t heard.

The Fire Sparrow Seal drew closer and closer, about to burn him to a crisp.

In that split second, Jiang Chen suddenly moved.

He extended his hand, pointed at the Fire Sparrow, and said coolly, "Freeze."

WHOOSH!

The moment Jiang Chen uttered the word "Freeze," the ferocious Fire Sparrow formed by the Fire Sparrow Seal suddenly stopped dead in front of him, as if it had been hit with a Body Fixing Technique.

Yes, the Fire Sparrow had stopped.

It hung there, completely motionless.

This scene left everyone pale with shock.

Master Yuan Hui was stunned, staring at the scene in disbelief.

If Lord Wen used the Fire Sparrow Seal, even he, Master Yuan Hui, would be no match for him.

He was well aware of the Fire Sparrow Seal’s power.

But now... now, the Fire Sparrow Seal had been brought to a dead halt right in front of Jiang Chen, just because he had said a single word.

Just that one magical word had frozen the Fire Sparrow, frozen the Fire Sparrow Seal.

"How is this possible? How can this be?"

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Master Yuan Hui let out a low cry.

Beside him, Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi’s mouths hung open, their faces etched with disbelief as their minds screamed, ’Impossible...!’

They wanted to cry out in shock but couldn’t make a sound, their mouths agape, completely petrified.

The others were the same.

Huo Wu and her companions stared, their eyes wider than they had ever been.

It was as if they were witnessing something so bizarre they couldn’t accept it.

And as for Lord Wen himself, the one who had cast the Fire Sparrow Seal, he was trembling violently, his mind reeling in shock.

"How is this possible?"

"How can this be possible?"

He found it inconceivable, even thinking he must be hallucinating.

But how could an expert at the Peak of Martial Arts Nine Heavens possibly hallucinate so easily? That was impossible.

That meant only one thing: what was happening right now was real.

Immediately, he tried to activate the Fire Sparrow Seal again, attempting to attack Jiang Chen.

But when he tried to command it, he discovered that his Fire Sparrow Seal had become completely, utterly unresponsive.

He could no longer control the Fire Sparrow Seal.

"Damn it, how could this happen?"

He looked at Jiang Chen with alarm and suspicion.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen reached out and gently stroked the ethereal Fire Sparrow.

Strangely enough, the Fire Sparrow actually lowered its head toward Jiang Chen, seeming to enjoy his touch.

It was as docile as a puppy.

What?

Lord Wen nearly stumbled and fell to the ground.

The Fire Sparrow, such a divine Guardian Beast, was acting so humbly before Jiang Chen, like a servant.

His mind roared; he was witnessing the most unbelievable sight of his life.

Jiang Chen stroked the Fire Sparrow’s illusory body, then turned to look at Lord Wen.

His eyes were filled with indifference.

With supreme arrogance, he pointed a finger at Lord Wen and said coolly, "Vermilion Bird, backlash!"

"Go!"

WHOOSH!

As his words fell, the fierce Fire Sparrow that had been hovering before him suddenly spun around. Its eyes flashed with a boundless, ferocious light as flames erupted from its body.

In an instant, it shot out, hurtling straight for Lord Wen. Its flaming form, like a surging fireball, flew forward with overwhelming power.
