The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3482: That Man’s Sword!
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Even as the thousand sword lights closed in, Ye Chen kept his composure intact. In an instant, he lunged forward after Yuan Qiong Tian, showing no fear toward the deadly sword glows!
Right when those thousand sword lights were on the verge of striking Ye Chen, a pitch-black Dragonslayer Sword materialized in his grasp!
Then, he struck!
Ye Chen's wrist twisted sharply, unleashing a torrent of sword qi, while the Destruction Divine Dao and True Martial Intent fused into a razor-sharp sword beam that he unleashed in a single slash!
This strike was blindingly swift!
Li Yichuan's expression twisted in shock!
What had appeared as a vague, enigmatic sword light in his perception now morphed into a bottomless pit of doom, sending chills through his veins, terror leaking from every inch of his skin, his thoughts quaking violently!
Only at this instant did he grasp that the sword light from Ye Chen carried the essence of the Destruction Divine Dao!
Li Yichuan clamped down on the tip of his tongue, forcing out a spray of blood essence onto his blade. As the blood coated the sword, a piercing energy that rattled the soul exploded outward!
His face etched with utmost gravity, he bellowed, "Reverse Flash Sword, Slaughter Technique!"
In that moment, Li Yichuan poured every ounce of his spiritual energy, blood essence, spirit, and even his life force and years into the weapon he clutched. Fused with Li Yichuan's total power, the sword detonated with ferocious might!
This slash appeared to outpace even light itself!
Zhou Zixun gazed at Li Yichuan, his eyes flickering with unease; the Reverse Flash Sword Slaughter Technique ranked among the three forbidden sword arts of the Extreme Sword Sect!
Though it paled as a lesser skill beside his own Nine Origin Return to Extremity Sword, being one of the three forbidden techniques meant it possessed horrifying potential!
The Reverse Flash Sword Slaughter Technique could fuse nearly all of a swordsman's energies, even the concealed ones, into a single strike, instantly multiplying a swordsman's power by no less than ten times!
For a sword prodigy like Li Yichuan, mastering this art amplified its might, potentially surging his outburst by scores of folds!
Evidently, this blow brimmed with overwhelming force!
But the very next instant, a supreme wave of ruinous energy burst forth!
Li Yichuan's form shattered into a bloody haze, his divine soul scattering into nothingness!
A wave of icy dread crawled up every onlooker's back!
Was this a man or a specter?
All eyes turned to Ye Chen with strange, laced-with-fear stares!
Humans harbor an innate dread of the unfamiliar, and even cultivators shared this primal terror!
Ye Chen had become, in their minds, the world's most unfathomable and eerie abomination!
Even Zhou Zixun, who had clung to his poise, let his features warp entirely in this instant!
He had once seen Ye Chen as a mere insect to squash effortlessly, yet now that insect had evolved into a ravenous predator!
Such a turnaround, such a jolt, threatened to burst his skull!
Suddenly, Ye Chen surged ahead, materializing in front of Yuan Qiong Tian. His visage was icy, a fierce murderous aura abruptly shrouding Yuan Qiong Tian!
In that heartbeat, Yuan Qiong Tian sensed he confronted a god of slaughter perched on a pyramid of cadavers!
His bravery was on the brink of icing over, solidifying!
With a boom like crackling thunder, Ye Chen's frame echoed with the snap of bones, his sinews quivered wildly, colossal power erupted and funneled into his fists, raining down like a tempest upon Yuan Qiong Tian!
Those fists harbored a might that shook the foundations of all Yunxuan City, and upon them lingered the presence of the Destruction Divine Dao!
A handful of seconds passed, and shockingly, both Yuan Qiong Tian and Li Yichuan lay slain.
Ye Chen whipped his head around, fixing a stare on Zhou Zixun. Just earlier, Zhou Zixun had seethed with rage, itching to shred Ye Chen apart, but now, under Ye Chen's frigid gaze, he instinctively fell back a step!
Terror-struck!
The unrivaled prodigy of the Extreme Sword Sect found himself utterly cowed by Ye Chen!
From Yuan Qiong Tian's assault to Ye Chen's rapid dispatch of the pair, much seemed to unfold, yet it spanned merely a few breaths!
In just a few breaths, he felled two martial prodigies at their peak, a feat even Zhou Zixun might not achieve!
This youth was far too enigmatic!
No matter his brash arrogance, Zhou Zixun wasn't some madman blind to peril!
He quailed at Ye Chen's display...
Ye Chen spoke in a frosty tone, "Young Master Zhou, didn't you plan to end me? Why hold back now? Come on, Young Master Zhou, aren't you rushing to Baoxiang Pavilion for a meal? Delay any longer, and the final spot might vanish!"
Defiance!
Ye Chen's audacity knew no bounds!
Stung by Ye Chen's taunt, Zhou Zixun's murderous urge flared! Savage energy amassed!
Ye Chen's gaze sharpened; it was imminent! He craved a boost to his cultivation prowess!
Combat offered the ideal path! He had anticipated this very clash!
And Zhou Zixun made for a superior adversary!
This round, a blade emerged in his grip!
Ren Feifan's Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword!
He aimed to summon the second Blood Night!
Should he succeed, he'd surely stand firm against Xuanyuan Moxie!
As the standoff crested to its zenith, Zhou Zixun's face grew ghastly pale, though he held his tongue!
Hush! Zhou Zixun's lethal intent evaporated in a flash!
The crowd gawked in disbelief at Zhou Zixun. Could the infamous, overbearing talent of the Extreme Sword Sect truly be intimidated by Ye Chen?
Even if Ye Chen's might pierced the skies like this, Zhou Zixun wouldn't genuinely back down, so why?
Because backing him stood another figure!
Not his lineage, but directly at his rear, in what looked like vacant air, a silver-haired elder with sagging lids lurked unseen!
This was the Extreme Sword Sect's protector, famed as Elder Jian!
Moments ago, Elder Jian had sent a voice transmission, urging him to ignore Ye Chen's bait!
What did that signal?
It signaled that tangling with Ye Chen—or maybe the power lurking behind him—even Elder Jian lacked assurance of his own safety!
Right then, the elder concealed behind Zhou Zixun locked his hazy gaze unyieldingly on Ye Chen.
Elder Jian's presence radiated sheer horror!
Its depths unfathomable!
At minimum, Holy Ancestor pinnacle stage!
Perhaps even the Heavenly Repairing Realm!
What defined the Heavenly Repairing Realm?
It grasped the genesis of heavens and earth, patching the fractures in cosmic order!
Though Ye Chen's present power was mighty, a vast chasm separated him from Elder Jian.
So why urge Zhou Zixun to swallow the slight?
Precisely because Elder Jian spotted Ye Chen's Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword!
It seemed familiar from ancient tomes!
Those tomes chronicled forbidden legends across the Outer Realm and Upper Realm, legends none dared touch!
He couldn't verify if the blade Ye Chen held was once wielded by that legendary figure!
Should it link to that one, then Ye Chen's backing held immense weight!
If that figure unleashed fury, the Extreme Sword Sect wouldn't merely fall!
The whole Outer Realm could drown in bloodshed!
Moreover, what birthed the Extreme Sword Sect?
Its founder had witnessed that figure execute a sword move in the Outer Realm, gleaning a fragment of sword dao's essence! After a thousand years in isolation, he shattered his limits and founded the Extreme Sword Sect!
