Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Infinite Sword Array

Looking at the Death Warriors one by one.

A brilliant light shone in Jiang Chen’s eyes.

His grand plan was about to unfold.

"Do you know what it means to be a Death Warrior?"

He stood before the fifty Death Warriors and asked in a clear voice. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The next moment, the Death Warriors roared in unison.

"We would rather die than yield, rather die than kneel, rather die than bow, rather die than submit."

"Heedless of life and death, we charge forward to slay the enemy."

The Death Warriors were very clear about their duty.

Jiang Chen was very satisfied.

However, he said, "A Death Warrior is not merely one who dies. Only those who possess the spirit to forsake life itself can truly be called Death Warriors."

He gazed at each and every one of them and asked in a loud voice, "If any of you wish to withdraw, now is your chance."

"Anyone?"

But every single one of them stared back, their gazes unwavering.

"From the moment we became Death Warriors, we cast aside all thoughts of life and death."

Jiang Chen hadn’t expected that these Death Warriors, who had previously served the Jiang Family, would already be so dedicated.

In truth, what he needed from a Death Warrior was exactly this spirit: to be fearless and unawed by death.

If they feared death, they couldn’t be called Death Warriors.

"Very good. Your understanding is correct."

"Since no one is withdrawing, from now on, I will be your master."

"You will obey all of my—Jiang Chen’s—commands."

"Yes!"

The Death Warriors shouted in perfect unison, their voices echoing with power.

Of course, words alone were not enough to put Jiang Chen at ease.

He took out a porcelain vial. Inside were fifty Elixirs.

They were white Elixirs, their quality impossible to discern.

"Heart Control Pills. These are Heart Control Pills. Each of you take one. Once you’ve swallowed it, you will be able to obey only my commands, without exception."

What Jiang Chen had taken out were Heart Control Pills.

Elixirs that controlled a person’s mind and spirit.

Jiang Chen had refined this type of Elixir precisely for this day.

He had added his own blood during the refinement process.

Therefore, once these people before him consumed the Heart Control Pills, they would be incapable of betraying him.

Although these Death Warriors seemed loyal, the consequences of a betrayal would be severe.

Jiang Chen could not afford any missteps, so he had to take precautions.

He needed to be cautious.

"Yes, Master."

A black-clothed Death Warrior ran forward and took the Heart Control Pills from Jiang Chen.

He distributed one to each person, and without a second word, they all swallowed them.

The next moment, Jiang Chen could feel it: he could now control these fifty Death Warriors.

They were Death Warriors who embodied the spirit of their name in every sense.

"Very good."

Jiang Chen was very satisfied. He took out another porcelain vial.

He randomly pointed to one of the black-clad figures.

He asked, "You, step forward."

The black-clad figure immediately took a few steps forward.

Jiang Chen nodded and asked, "State your name."

The man in black said loudly, "Zang Jun."

The man’s name was Zang Jun.

With a flick of his wrist, Jiang Chen sent the porcelain vial flying from his hand, and it landed squarely in Zang Jun’s.

"There are ten Elixirs in here. You will choose ten men, and give one to each."

Soon, Zang Jun had chosen ten people and distributed a red Elixir to each of them.

These Elixirs were the Bloodthirst Pills that Jiang Chen had refined.

Zang Jun took one for himself as well.

Seeing that the Elixirs were distributed, Jiang Chen spoke again, "Those who received an Elixir, step forward."

"Those who did not, remain in place and await orders."

WHOOSH!

Zang Jun and the other nine stepped forward in perfect unison.

Jiang Chen had refined thirty Bloodthirst Pills in total. It was nowhere near enough to give one to everyone.

Of course, he had no intention of using all thirty Bloodthirst Pills at once.

He had other uses for these Death Warriors.

He was considering refining an even more powerful Elixir.

He just hadn’t found all the materials yet. If he could refine that Elixir, it would be far more potent than the Bloodthirst Pill.

After all, the Bloodthirst Pill was a one-time-use Elixir. To achieve the same effect again, one would have to consume another.

It simply wasn’t efficient.

"Master, your orders, please."

Zang Jun and the others spoke to Jiang Chen with great respect.

Their eyes were merciless, as if they were ready to kill at any moment. These were Death Warriors trained from childhood.

Jiang Chen looked over the ten Death Warriors who had received the Bloodthirst Pills and said loudly, "Two of you, step out."

Zang Jun, along with another black-clad warrior, stepped out and appeared before Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen said, "Very good. From now on, you two will be my personal guards."

"The other eight will remain on standby. Should anyone move against the Jiang Family, assess the situation, immediately swallow the Elixir, and attack. Kill all who come without mercy."

His voice was a command.

Ten men—a full ten berserk Martial King Experts.

With them guarding the Jiang Family, Jiang Chen refused to believe that anyone in Hanwu City could threaten his family.

And what’s more, these Martial King Experts were still under his control.

"Yes, Master."

The ten men were full of vigor, their bodies radiating a dense killing intent.

Their gazes were so sharp they could frighten an ordinary person to death.

After giving his instructions to the ten, Jiang Chen walked toward the other forty Death Warriors.

"Next, I will teach you a Sword Array. Each of you must memorize it with utmost concentration."

"The Infinite Sword Array."

In Jiang Chen’s mind, there were countless Cultivation Techniques, Arrays, and various Alchemy Skills.

Using Bloodthirst Pills on all these Death Warriors would be too wasteful.

He had a better way to make these people unleash even more terrifying Combat Power.

The Jiang Family could not be protected by him forever; they needed the ability to protect themselves.

These Death Warriors were the perfect means to that end.

His Infinite Sword Array was a method for coordinated attacks.

As long as a group of people formed the Sword Array, it would be terrifyingly powerful.

Wherever the Sword Array passed, nothing could hide, and nothing could stand in its way.

Soon, he used his Divine Thought to transmit the Infinite Sword Array to the remaining forty Death Warriors.

The primary requirement of the Infinite Sword Array was courage, for the brave are invincible. Only those who do not fear death can execute it perfectly.

Afterwards, the Death Warriors began their Cultivation of the Infinite Sword Array in this secret hall.

As for the other eight with the Bloodthirst Pills, Jiang Chen had them remain on standby.

"Follow me."

Jiang Chen left the great hall, taking only Zang Jun and one other Death Warrior with him.

Not even members of the Jiang Family dared to enter this hall.

These were all part of his preparations.

After he left, the Death Warriors immediately began to practice and synchronize the Infinite Sword Array.

"You two, change out of your Black Robes and put on normal clothes."

Jiang Chen said to the two Death Warriors beside him.

"Yes, Master."

The two of them changed clothes with incredible speed.

Besides Zang Jun, the other was a woman who looked to be in her early thirties. She had a delicate, oval face and was quite attractive.

The woman’s name was Xi Feng.

After changing, the two of them looked like ordinary people. Following Jiang Chen, they appeared to be his attendants.

Jiang Chen did this because he didn’t want to attract unwanted attention.

After all, being followed by two people shrouded in black robes was rather strange.

With these arrangements made, Jiang Chen instructed, "You will act only when I give the order."

"Do not act rashly without my command."

Of course, to ensure the two could protect their own lives without consuming a Bloodthirst Pill, Jiang Chen had no choice but to take out Foundation Strengthening Pills to raise their Cultivation.

Zang Jun and Xi Feng were only at the Martial Artist Eighth Layer Heaven, which wasn’t considered a particularly high level of Cultivation.
