Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Guardian Martial King

"Kill them!"

Master Qin waved his hand.

The loyal followers at his side immediately let out roars.

"Kill!"

They swarmed forward in an instant, charging toward Jiang Chen and the others.

"Let me handle this."

Murong Xiangming stood beside Jiang Chen, Blood Sword in hand, feeling completely at ease with him.

Just standing next to this man gave her a profound sense of security.

She was about to strike.

"No, I’ll do it."

Jiang Chen directly stopped Murong Xiangming.

"In this battle, I’m going to show him just how formidable I am."

Jiang Chen had a fearsome reputation in the Alchemist Guild, but he had never truly had a falling out with Master Qin.

Today, that had changed completely.

He would no longer hold back.

As a powerful Alchemist, his Alchemy was his true weapon.

Jiang Chen’s eyes were sharp as blades.

The men charging at them were Master Qin’s personal guards; he would show them absolutely no mercy.

"You’re courting death."

Then, a porcelain vial appeared in his hand. Inside was his poison, Broken Soul.

Opening the vial, Jiang Chen immediately controlled the Soul-Breaking Poison within, causing it to drift out.

With a wave of his hand toward the charging men, the Soul-Breaking Poison immediately drifted toward the crowd.

Murong Xiangming and Master Tian Mu watched Jiang Chen’s strange actions, utterly astonished.

’Jiang Chen can kill enemies without even fighting? Just by standing there and making a few gestures?’

This was vastly different from any battle they had ever known.

Of course, what happened next would absolutely leave them both dumbfounded.

"Ah...!"

The first few men to charge forward suddenly clutched their heads and screamed in agony.

Then, with a series of THUDS, they collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

And in the blink of an eye, the convulsions stopped. They lay stiff on the ground, completely motionless.

If one were to guess, they were certainly dead.

An instant kill. Martial Artist experts, facing Jiang Chen, were killed in an instant.

And Jiang Chen had only waved his hand.

Murong Xiangming and Master Tian Mu were stunned.

It was unbelievable. How could Jiang Chen be so terrifying?

They had only thought of Jiang Chen as a figure at the Warrior Fifth Heaven, but the methods he now displayed made even Martial Artist experts seem like they were made of clay before him.

They dropped dead in seconds.

Such a degree of power...

It made Murong Xiangming’s mouth fall open.

Master Tian Mu’s eyes went wide.

’He’s that strong?’

Master Tian Mu had truly underestimated Jiang Chen.

In his eyes, Jiang Chen had only seemed formidable because he was borrowing his master’s prestige.

But now, it was clear there was more to it. Jiang Chen was by no means as simple as he appeared on the surface.

He was unfathomable.

A chill ran through Master Tian Mu’s heart; he didn’t dare to look down on Jiang Chen any longer.

SWISH! SWISH!

Jiang Chen waved his hand again and again. Even though Master Qin had sent out over a hundred experts, not a single one could get close to Jiang Chen and his group.

They all collapsed and died from a distance.

Every one of them died convulsing.

It was an extremely eerie sight.

Seeing this, the people from the Alchemist Guild were all shaken.

One by one, they gasped in shock.

Jiang Chen was simply too powerful.

The guards charging from the rear saw the men in front of them inexplicably drop dead. Scared out of their wits, they no longer dared to rush forward.

When Master Qin saw this, his face turned ashen.

He was in such a sorry state, his guards completely stopped by Jiang Chen alone.

At this rate, Jiang Chen alone was enough to leave him helpless.

But Jiang Chen, holding the porcelain vial, began to advance on Master Qin.

"Master Qin, today, let’s see what other tricks you have up your sleeve."

He knew Master Qin must have some hidden tricks, so he decided to force them out today and see what trump cards he was holding.

Jiang Chen’s steady advance made Master Qin grow flustered.

Finally, he exploded with rage and bellowed, "Jiang Chen, do you really think you’re invincible?"

"Haha, ridiculous! You’re far too arrogant!"

"Your methods are nothing more than using poison."

Jiang Chen said coolly, "Whatever the method, the winner is king."

"You are no longer fit to be the President of the Alchemist Guild. It’s time for a change."

His words were filled with determination.

Today, he would personally replace the President of the Alchemist Guild.

"You yellow-mouthed whelp, you’re too conceited!"

"As the President of the Alchemist Guild, do you think you can just replace me because you say so?"

"Don’t tell me... you want to be the President of the Alchemist Guild?"

Listening to Jiang Chen’s words, Master Qin felt the man was simply too full of himself.

The President of the Alchemist Guild was chosen by everyone. The Elder Council only votes together; it still requires approval from above.

Yet Jiang Chen spoke of replacing him.

’How laughable,’ he thought.

However, Jiang Chen stated indifferently, "That’s right. I’m no longer satisfied with the position of Senior Steward. I’d much rather be the President of the Alchemist Guild."

He wasn’t being polite. In truth, he didn’t really care about being President of the Alchemist Guild, especially just the Hanwu City branch president.

But for the future of the Jiang Family, he didn’t mind taking the president’s seat.

So he made no effort to hide his intentions.

What?

Hearing Jiang Chen declare he wanted to be the President of the Alchemist Guild, everyone was shocked.

They all felt Jiang Chen was being far too arrogant.

The position of President wasn’t something just anyone could take if they wanted it.

Especially since there were many people here who had coveted that position for a long time.

Jiang Chen wasn’t qualified, nor did he have the seniority.

No one believed Jiang Chen could do it.

Master Qin simply felt that Jiang Chen was beyond saving.

"Then you can go to hell first."

He saw Jiang Chen continuing to approach.

He knew he couldn’t resist Jiang Chen’s poison either.

He suddenly let out a great roar.

"My warriors, strike!"

As soon as Master Qin’s voice fell,

BOOM!

Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted from the eastern side of the Alchemist Guild.

A terrifying aura abruptly shot into the sky.

In that moment, everyone felt the pressure of a Martial King’s Cultivation from that aura—it was immense and terrifying.

A crushing pressure enveloped the Alchemist Guild.

Many of the Alchemists who knew what was happening were horrified.

"It’s the Alchemist Guild’s Guardian Martial King!"

"Heavens, Master Qin is actually mobilizing our Alchemist Guild’s Guardian Martial King!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"This is big trouble."

The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone scrambled even farther away from the battlefield.

Every one of the Alchemist Guild’s Guardian Martial Kings was a Martial King Expert.

Many people didn’t even know exactly how many Guardian Martial Kings there were.

After all, only the President knew the true number of Guardian Martial Kings.

This power was also in the President’s hands.

Jiang Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

’So there really are Martial King Experts.’

He had long suspected that the Alchemist Guild was protected by Martial King Experts, but he had never been able to find them.

He hadn’t expected that now, at Master Qin’s command, a Martial King Expert would finally appear.

Meanwhile, Murong Xiangming and Master Tian Mu’s hearts stirred.

The two exchanged a look, both coming to a sudden realization.

They would have found it hard to believe if the Alchemist Guild *didn’t* have a Martial King Expert watching over it.

After all, the Alchemist Guild and the Treasure Elephant Pavilion were two major powers of equal standing.

BOOM!

Following the roar from the east, the aura of a Martial King Expert was revealed.

From the west, a corresponding roar echoed. After another boom, a second Martial King’s aura shot into the sky.
