The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3435: Death God’s Footprint
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
A tidal wave of violent, destructive killing intent surged toward the Jade Sword Sect Master and his elders!
Ye Chen possessed the power to slay even those in the Holy Ancestor Realm!
A mere elder of the Lingwu Sect, even a grand elder, stood no chance against such force!
It was as if a localized storm had descended upon them!
Several figures simultaneously coughed up mouthfuls of blood!
Their bodies were sent flying, crashing violently against the Jade Sword Sect’s main gate!
The gate crumbled into pieces as blood sprayed across the ground!
The onlookers were completely stunned!
Wasn't Hall Master Ye the great savior of the Divine Kingdom and the Lingwu Continent? Why was he attacking a minor sect within the Lingwu Continent!
Before anyone could voice their confusion, a freezing wind swept past, and Ye Chen and Zhen’er had vanished!
Meanwhile, inside the Sword Pavilion!
Zhu Ya was covered in wounds, her white robes crimson with blood!
The scene was absolutely horrific!
Despite her injuries, she refused to surrender!
Wang Jiuxu spoke with a hint of impatience: "If you don’t finish her off, I will. The Blood Sacrifice is time-sensitive."
Liu Meihan felt a sting of annoyance at his words. Pointing at Zhu Ya, she sneered: "You certainly are resilient, which fits that pretty face of yours. I want to see if you still want to live once I ruin your looks and leave you utterly disgraced!"
In an instant, Liu Meihan’s right hand ignited with flames as she lunged at Zhu Ya!
She struck with her full power this time!
She was certain a single slap would be enough to destroy the girl’s face!
With blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, Zhu Ya watched the approaching palm shadow and let out a self-deprecating laugh.
Her gaze was filled with lingering regret.
The mission that brought her to the Lingwu Continent was still incomplete; she had failed Jin Lengyan and dragged the innocent Zhen’er into this mess.
She felt like a sinner.
Perhaps finding death now would be a release.
One second passed, then two, then three...
The expected blow never landed.
The entire world seemed to fall into a dead silence!
Had Liu Meihan and Wang Jiuxu decided to show mercy?
Zhu Ya opened her eyes to find the light before her expanding.
Standing in front of her was a towering, majestic figure!
Zhu Ya stared in a daze!
The silhouette was so familiar!
It was... it was... Mister Ye!
Mister Ye had finally arrived!
Ye Chen caught Liu Meihan’s hand with a single grip. He turned slightly, looking down at the battered Zhu Ya.
A wave of guilt washed over him, quickly overtaken by a burning rage!
"Zhu Ya, I am sorry."
"I arrived too late."
Those were the only words Ye Chen could offer.
Hearing them, Zhu Ya could no longer keep her composure!
She had been enduring the coldness and isolation of the past few days with a hardened heart.
But now, she broke down.
She might be the head of the Zhu family in Huaxia.
But she was still just a girl!
She also craved someone to lean on; she also feared the dark and the approach of death!
"Mister Ye..."
At that moment, the expressions of everyone present became incredibly strange.
Wang Jiuxu, Liu Meihan, and the others all recognized him!
The legendary Hall Master Ye!
That supreme being!
The guardian deity of the Lingwu Continent!
How... how could he possibly be here at the Jade Sword Sect?
It defied belief!
Liu Meihan was the first to snap out of it, roaring: "You brat, let go of me!"
"Do you realize that impersonating Hall Master Ye is a crime punishable by death!"
Ignoring her, Ye Chen looked at Zhu Ya with deep pity. He placed a pill between her red lips and softly brushed his hand against her cheek: "Was it this wretched woman who gave you these wounds?"
Zhu Ya gave a small nod.
In the next instant, Ye Chen turned his head.
He smiled.
It was a dark, bloodthirsty grin.
It was a look he hadn't worn in a long time.
But anyone who truly knew Ye Chen understood that this smile belonged to a Demon!
Liu Meihan felt a shiver run down her spine. Sensing his overwhelming aura, she began to fear that this really was Ye Chen!
However, she didn't dare admit it!
She could feel Ye Chen's grip on her wrist tightening with crushing force!
"Let me go!"
Liu Meihan screamed.
"Oh."
The next second, Ye Chen’s fingers clamped down with such power that Liu Meihan’s hand exploded into a mist of blood!
"I've let go. Are you happy now?"
Staring at her empty sleeve, Liu Meihan was consumed by pure terror: "This is the Jade Sword Sect, you..."
Before she could finish her threat!
A fierce gale erupted!
Ye Chen’s palm slammed into Liu Meihan’s face!
Though he used no spiritual energy, his physical strength was monumental!
"Slap!"
Liu Meihan was sent hurtling backward, shattering several swords as she flew!
Even the massive iron structures were warped by the impact!
It felt as if every bone in her body had been pulverized!
She spat out chunks of blood!
She finally realized the magnitude of the person she had provoked!
This man was indeed Hall Master Ye!
The supreme God!
"I’m sorry... so... sorry, I didn't realize..."
Liu Meihan croaked, her voice hoarse as she begged for her life.
Ye Chen only smiled.
With a clenching of his fist, he grabbed the dazed Liu Meihan by the throat.
"I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ye Chen, of the Demon Suppression Hall."
"I possess a Mystic Flame that can do more than just kill; it can torture the soul. Care to try it?"
Liu Meihan’s eyes bulged. She wanted to refuse, but an invisible force took control of her body!
To her horror, she found herself nodding!
"Excellent."
"But as for that repulsive face of yours, I have no desire to see it again!"
In the next heartbeat, a flurry of palm shadows manifested in the air, raining down upon Liu Meihan!
Ye Chen held back, fearing that if he lost control, he would vaporize her instantly.
Nevertheless, those palm shadows, infused with spiritual energy, left Liu Meihan’s face hideously mangled!
Ye Chen tossed the nearly lifeless woman onto the floor like trash!
He then summoned a Mystic Flame, which wrapped around Liu Meihan!
The flame began to eat away at both her flesh and her very soul!
The Sword Pavilion was filled with her agonizing, terrified shrieks!
Ye Chen then turned his attention toward Wang Jiuxu.
That same cold, murderous smile remained on his lips.
"Your name is Wang Jiuxu, isn't it?"
Overcome by dread, Wang Jiuxu suddenly collapsed to his knees!
Beside him, Zhou Zhenxin and Jiang Lichun also fell to the ground!
Their bodies shook uncontrollably!
Wang Jiuxu fully grasped the gravity of his situation!
He wanted to run!
But where could he go?
His previous confidence had vanished completely!
He knew he wasn't just facing a God!
He was facing a Demon from the lowest depths of hell!
"Hall Master Ye, this was all Liu Meihan’s plan! We knew nothing about it!"
"Hall Master Ye, I am innocent! Please, have mercy..."
Zhou Zhenxin and Jiang Lichun kowtowed repeatedly, their foreheads bleeding from the force of hitting the floor!
Yet they didn't dare stop!
"Too much noise."
Ye Chen simply placed his hands behind his back. With that small movement, Zhou Zhenxin and Jiang Lichun seemed to freeze in place.
A second later, they crumbled into dust.
A breeze blew through, and the dust was gone.
Only Wang Jiuxu remained!
The former genius was now paralyzed with fear!
Knowing his life was forfeit, Wang Jiuxu was struck by a desperate thought. He suddenly summoned an icy rage!
He lunged with the icy rage toward the wounded Zhu Ya!
He knew he couldn't beat Ye Chen, but if he took Zhu Ya as a hostage, he might find a way to survive!
However, the moment he summoned the icy rage, the sword shattered into fragments.
Ye Chen stared at Wang Jiuxu with profound, dark eyes: "What if I gave you a chance to live?"
Wang Jiuxu nodded frantically: "What! I'll do anything!"
Ye Chen summoned the Slaughter Sword and gestured to Wang Jiuxu: "Use this sword to kill me. I won't even lift a finger."
"I'm giving you the opportunity to fight back with everything you have."
"If you can hold this sword, I will act as if none of this ever happened."
Wang Jiuxu’s eyes lit up as he looked at the Slaughter Sword!
He was certain Hall Master Ye wouldn't lie to him!
He lunged forward, grabbing the hilt of the Slaughter Sword!
Ye Chen smiled and released his grip!
Suddenly, it was as if an earth-shattering weight descended!
Wang Jiuxu was horrified!
He felt as if he wasn't holding a weapon, but a massive mountain—an entire world!
"Bang!"
Wang Jiuxu slammed into the ground instantly. The sheer weight of the Slaughter Sword crushed his hand into a bloody pulp!
The Sword Pavilion shook as if struck by an earthquake!
A massive crater opened up!
The incredible gravity of the Slaughter Sword pinned Wang Jiuxu deep into the earth!
The overwhelming intent of slaughter began to consume him!
Wang Jiuxu felt as if he were being crushed by boulders, a pain worse than hell itself!
His mind was besieged by the spiritual pressure and illusions of the Slaughter Sword!
His features twisted in agony; living had become a fate worse than death!
With the matter settled, Ye Chen’s gaze softened as he looked at Zhu Ya: "Come, Zhu Ya. I’m taking you home."
Exhausted, Zhu Ya lost consciousness and fell into Ye Chen’s arms.
Ye Chen lifted her in a princess carry and began to walk out of the Sword Pavilion.
With every step he took, the heavens and earth seemed to vibrate in resonance.
He left behind a single footprint in the Sword Pavilion.
The footprint of the God of Death.
