The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3481: Attitude! (Eighth Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Boosting strength even more right in the middle of combat?
That's nothing but a ridiculous notion. Advancing in the heat of battle and gaining power might sound impossible, yet it could happen, but pulling it off two times consecutively?
Pure fantasy!
Gu Han bowed his head, gave Zhang Chi a pat on the shoulder, and remarked: "Zhang Chi, come on, Yunxuan City has plenty of eateries, we'll hit up Cloud Dragon Playing in the Sea another day."
Zhang Chi gave a nod, slipped the Gold card away discreetly, and prepared to leave Baoxiang Pavilion's doorway.
Zhou Zixun along with the other pair eyed Gu Han and Zhang Chi, their contempt almost spilling out visibly!
Li Yichuan grinned slyly and commented: "Now that's better, right? Lowlifes ought to stay in their lane!"
Zhou Zixun and Yuan Qiong Tian burst into loud chuckles, with Zhou Zixun slapping his palms while declaring, "Yichuan, spot on, that's exactly what I was thinking!"
Yuan Qiong Tian chimed in, "Too bad, loads of losers lack any sense of themselves, figuring out their worth only after getting crushed underfoot."
Upon catching their remarks, Gu Han and Zhang Chi froze in place, their gazes turning crimson as they fixed furious stares on Li Yichuan and the group, resembling wild animals ready to snap!
Mockery!
The mockery intensified!
They'd chosen to back off, but Zhou Zixun, Li Yichuan, and Yuan Qiong Tian refused to grant them even a hint of respect!?
In the midst of their lighthearted guffaws, a steady voice from a man rang out all of a sudden.
"Why are you two gawking? Aren't we heading in for some food?"
Right away, the jeering laughs from Zhou Zixun and his companions cut off sharply!
Gu Han and Zhang Chi turned toward Ye Chen, their expressions packed with utter astonishment...
What exactly had Ye Chen uttered?
Entering to dine?
Planning to enter and dine at this moment?
This outright dismissed Zhou Zixun's prior cautions and intimidations as worthless babble!
Given Zhou Zixun's nature, there's no way he'd overlook this!
The pair stood there, totally stunned!
Indeed, the vibe outside Baoxiang Pavilion turned icy cold in a flash!
Right then, onlookers started clustering nearby!
Their stares at Ye Chen resembled those aimed at an idiot...
To them, this Heavenly God Realm youth was as good as done for!
Instantly after, a frosty spark burst in Zhou Zixun's gaze, and he spoke in a bone-chilling tone: "Enter? Did you not catch me ordering you to scram and yield the place? Whether Heavenly God Realm or whatever, I never thought you'd excel at faking it? Haven't you noticed, even Holy Ancestor Realm folks have to cower and flee before me, yet you're here acting tough?"
Ye Chen shot Zhou Zixun a casual look, parted his lips, and let out several words.
"Come on, the mutt yapping out here is too loud."
All the nearby fighters stood slack-jawed, staring at Ye Chen like statues frozen in place!
Had Ye Chen just straight-up insulted Zhou Zixun?
Zhou Zixun had surely never faced such an insult in his entire existence, had he?
The stark difference hit the audience so hard it felt like a barrage of atomic blasts ripping through their minds!
This Heavenly God Realm kid truly has no regard for his life!
Briefly, Zhou Zixun himself was taken aback, failing to process Ye Chen's words.
Seconds afterward, Zhou Zixun's complexion flushed crimson without delay!
His gaze, sharp as blades, stabbed right into Ye Chen, killing aura boiling over, fury nearly scorching his sanity, building to the urge of flattening all of Yunxuan City in a single strike!
He stood as Zhou Zixun, the top prodigy from the Extreme Sword Sect, holding strong prospects for stepping into the Moon Soul Domain, etching tales in a vast realm and earning universal awe!
All through his days, the glow around Zhou Zixun shone dazzlingly pure, free of any blemish!
Yet today, Ye Chen turned into the blot on his existence!
Insulted by a mere Heavenly God Realm figure!
Neither the Extreme Sword Sect's leader nor the wise elder—his grandfather—had ever belittled him, always meeting him with warm grins!
"I demand your death!!!"
Zhou Zixun bellowed, a wildly savage sword qi erupted from within him akin to a torrent bursting free, while nine shadowy sword forms materialized circling Zhou Zixun, whirling about him. Every one of these nine blades radiated peak sword qi!
Numerous spectators who saw it contracted their pupils!
The Nine Origin Return to Extremity Sword! Command over the sword qi of nine blades!
Could this be happening!?
Did Zhou Zixun's aptitude reach such a horrifying level?
Sensing this piercing sword qi, reminiscent of a glacial gale slicing the void, the crowd was gripped by shock that stole their breath!
It's no surprise they're reacting this way...
Legends tell that ages ago, the Extreme Sword Sect ranked among the powers in the Moon Soul Domain!
What allowed the Extreme Sword Sect to hold ground in the Moon Soul Domain stemmed from the hidden art devised by its founder, the Nine Origin Return to Extremity Sword!
Regrettably, while this blade art boasts immense might, it requires an extraordinarily elevated Sword Dao aptitude from those who practice it!
Over millennia, the Extreme Sword Sect produced endless prodigies, but none managed to train the Nine Origin Return to Extremity Sword up to the stage manifesting all Nine Swords!
As a result, the Extreme Sword Sect withered away entirely and got pushed back to the Star Swirl Domain to preserve its lineage.
Now, with the Nine Swords emerging once more, even if the power falls short, the fusion with the Dao shines through; the time for the Extreme Sword Sect's dominance draws near!
It appeared they'd already pictured Ye Chen getting pulverized into nothing beneath the Nine Swords' fury!
However, right at that point, Yuan Qiong Tian next to Zhou Zixun interjected, stating, "Young master, why bother getting worked up over such pathetic scum? This junk isn't worth your direct involvement! Ending him would just soil your palms! Hand him over to me!"
Zhou Zixun, catching these words, eyed Yuan Qiong Tian, gave a faint nod, and pulled back the overwhelming sword qi, casting an haughty side-eye at Ye Chen.
Yuan Qiong Tian's point rang true; this punk lacked even the right to perish under his strike!
Yuan Qiong Tian smirked. After trailing Zhou Zixun for years on end, he'd long grasped his lord's intentions.
At once, a wicked grin spread across his brutal visage, eyeing Ye Chen as though a demonic specter from the underworld.
Hehe, slaying a Heavenly God realm nobody to curry favor with Zhou Zixun—what a prime chance to seize?
The instant after, Yuan Qiong Tian strode directly at Ye Chen, golden radiance exploding around him, streaming across his frame like coated in molten gold! The dread force of the Sixth Layer Holy Ancestor realm almost buckled the nearby crowd!
Every stride from Yuan Qiong Tian sent shudders through the whole of Yunxuan City!
One could easily picture the sheer horror of Yuan Qiong Tian's might!
In a heartbeat, Yuan Qiong Tian reached Ye Chen, narrowed his gaze, and sneered icily at him, "Kid, crossing the young master counts as the gravest of crimes. So, how do you reckon I ought to make you pay to cleanse your guilt?"
As the onlookers observed Ye Chen with amused anticipation, eager to see this reckless fool cower and beg before a Sixth Layer Holy Ancestor realm powerhouse, Ye Chen simply gave Yuan Qiong Tian a faint look and then struck without warning!
Pitting power against power?
He'd smash the Sixth Layer Holy Ancestor realm flat!
Against Yuan Qiong Tian, he saw no need for extra chatter.
Spiritual energy amassed in Ye Chen's frame, the Flame Tablet's essence pooling in his hand. Flames erupted on his right fist, Heaven Splitting Power thundering through his veins, a massively potent energy rushed forth and merged into his right fist, before he launched it straight at Yuan Qiong Tian!
When it came to raw power, none could rival him!
The moment the crowd figured Ye Chen would get demolished by Yuan Qiong Tian's blow, a staggering sight occurred!
Yuan Qiong Tian's face twisted swiftly, draining of color, and that golden-wrapped limb burst apart violently!
All of Yunxuan City appeared to fall silent!
Choked!
True breathlessness struck, as the fighters nearby gaped at the unfolding event like they'd encountered a phantom, their thoughts on the brink of bursting!
Is this for real?
How could a Heavenly God realm cultivator smash the fortified arm of a Holy Ancestor realm body cultivator with an offhand strike?
And this came while Yuan Qiong Tian poured everything into it!
Yuan Qiong Tian's form blurred, scrambling back in panic as he yelled, "Li Yichuan, assist me!!!"
As a lackey, he wouldn't dare summon Zhou Zixun outright, turning instead to Li Yichuan!
Only then did Li Yichuan shake off his daze!
His bond with Yuan Qiong Tian ran deep, so he couldn't just let the man perish without lifting a finger!
A cold flash lit Li Yichuan's eyes, sword qi whirling from his body like a whirlwind, the blade at his side dropping soundlessly into his grip. He steadied his breathing, channeling spiritual energy wildly into the sword, and within moments, his wrist vibrated at blinding speed—even experts like Zhang Chi and Gu Han in the Holy Ancestor realm struggled to track Li Yichuan's motions briefly. It highlighted his incredible velocity!
Though Zhou Zixun wielded great strength, his blade swiftness lagged behind Li Yichuan's!
Thus, Li Yichuan might be the better pick over Zhou Zixun for stepping in now!
In a flash, a thousand blows!
By then, Li Yichuan had unleashed more than a thousand sword strikes!
Each thrust released a sharp, frosty sword beam, like countless frozen spikes, weaving past Yuan Qiong Tian to assail Ye Chen!
Beyond the speed, Li Yichuan exerted masterful command over these sword beams!
The surrounding folks were left speechless!
Launching over a thousand swords in a split second, with such pinpoint accuracy on the sword beams?
Above all, not a single beam from Li Yichuan lacked potency!
Gu Han and Zhang Chi shared a look, spotting the dread and alarm in one another's stares...
This Li Yichuan proves utterly fearsome!
For a sword wielder, his gift defies the heavens!
