The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3491: Xuan Han Yu’s Identity
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Right now, Ye Chen dipped his head a bit, and nobody spotted the chaotic realm hidden deep in his gaze!
His thoughts appeared to break free from Refining God Peak, wandering off into a different realm...
The Sword Soul's voice abruptly rang out inside Ye Chen's consciousness: "Have you comprehended it?"
At these words, Ye Chen jolted back to the present, his gaze exploding with sacred brilliance as he addressed the Sword Soul: "Fairy Xuan, give me a little longer!"
Xuan Han Yu let out a chilly huff in response: "Hmph, Ye Chen, I've got just thirty breaths to spare for you. Once that's up, I'll burn through my strength and slip into a temporary sleep. If you don't grasp it completely in those thirty breaths, you're done for, and I'll probably never break free from all these seals!"
A frown creased Ye Chen's brow as he took this in, his face turning utterly serious. That brief insight had already slipped into his grasp, yet could he truly seize full control over it in mere thirty breaths?
Even with Ye Chen's exceptional talent in Martial Arts, pulling that off was incredibly tough, no doubt!
However, the very next instant, a fierce determination ignited in his eyes: "I'm counting on you, Fairy Xuan! Failure isn't an option for me!"
So what if it's tough?
Throughout his path, Ye Chen had faced countless trials and tribulations.
All he could do now was pour everything into it and push through to a breakthrough!
Elder Jian eyed Ye Chen's attitude, his features contorting in savage glee as he mocked: "Hehe, kid, weren't you bragging about battling like some invincible force? Got the guts to challenge me?"
Watching this unfold, the crowd shook their heads in pity; Ye Chen had a clear shot at pulling back unharmed and earning Zhan You's goodwill—a massive stroke of fortune, a huge chance at glory. But thanks to his overconfidence and naivety, all for the sake of a girl, he'd twisted that golden path into his personal grave!
Zhan You and Zhou Zixun brimmed with thrill, convinced that true prodigies require time to mature. As for a reckless idiot like Ye Chen who couldn't tell when to push forward or back off, no amount of raw talent would save him—what good was it?
It would just speed up his end!
Seconds later, sword qi exploded from Elder Jian's form, with three flying swords circling him anew, flickers of icy gleam emerging, each resembling a godly blade forged over endless ages. Truth be told, honing sword qi to this degree proved way harder than crafting a supreme artifact!
Elder Jian had devoted innumerable years to perfecting the Three Extremes Sword Formation, at last refining three kinds of sword qi to this pinnacle!
The raging sword qi, akin to a cataclysmic storm bent on ruining worlds, blanketed the heavens over Refining God Peak, forcing every prodigy atop the summit to instinctively catch their breath!
In that instant, the air they drew in wasn't mere oxygen anymore, but lethal sword qi ready to shred their insides in a flash!
Elder Jian's this attack packed way more punch than his previous one!
But facing this onslaught, Ye Chen pulled off something that shocked the entire assembly.
He let go of the dark Dragonslayer Sword clutched in his grip...
The onlookers froze in shock initially, then twisted their expressions into mocking grins!
Was Ye Chen surrendering?
Zhang Chi, Zhang Qiao Ling, and the rest saw this happen, their faces shifting as profound letdown washed over their stares...
Nobody saw it coming that Ye Chen, right at the brink, with what looked like unyielding resolve and a Dao heart of iron, would crumble in the end...
Ye Chen had once loomed as an almost mythical icon in their thoughts, someone worthy of reverence, yet now that heroic vision of him in their minds started to shatter...
In the end, he's nothing more than a regular guy.
At the same time, Jin Shuhui drowned in hopelessness, remorse, terror, and grief...
Should Ye Chen perish on her account, the agony would hit her a thousandfold harder than her own demise!
The viciousness etched on Elder Jian's visage grew fiercer! Refining God Peak's binding laws pinned him down to Holy Ancestor Realm strength, filling him with deep frustration. Right then, his vital blood ignited, draping his features in a crimson haze!
Considering Elder Jian's advanced years, igniting his blood essence brought repercussions far worse than for any typical cultivator!
Yet for him, the cost was justified!
Forcing a freak like Ye Chen to break completely, wallow in hopelessness, and welcome death—any price was fine!
What haunted him most was the chance that Ye Chen, even amid this hopeless fate, could still unleash another shock!
The Three Extremes Sword Formation boiled over with Sword Intent linking to the heavens, as the three blades merged into a dazzling streak and hurtled at Ye Chen, much like divine retribution from above!
But just when all believed Ye Chen had thrown in the towel, doomed to total destruction beneath the Three Extremes Sword Formation and erased from existence!
Their eyes widened in shock!
It didn't drop...
The ebony Dragonslayer Sword Ye Chen had released hung suspended!
Rather, it hovered right before Ye Chen!
All at once, a bone-chilling wave of dread erupted from the Slaughter Sword!
A vague silhouette of a female form materialized in plain view. Though her countenance remained blurry, every eye locked onto that apparition without fail!
Peerless!
Despite Xuan Han Yu's vague outline, the crowd knew without question this lady possessed stunning allure!
Beauty was just the start; she exuded a supreme authority that tamed the cosmos and crushed the myriad realms!
If Xuan Han Yu weren't reduced to a mere Sword Soul, clinging to life via the Dragonslayer Sword with the bulk of her might locked away, this sheer presence alone would compel these prodigies to kneel!
"This is bad!"
Elder Jian cried out, and while he sensed this Sword Soul's might alone couldn't deliver a killing blow. Still, for some reason, a grave sense of foreboding gripped Elder Jian!
The crimson tint on his face intensified, as the rate of his blood essence combustion surged!
The Three Extremes Sword Formation quivered, its radiant arc accelerating even more!
Xuan Han Yu fixed a frosty stare on the rampaging Three Extremes Sword Formation. From her cultivation level, dismantling it was child's play. Elder Jian's sword qi might shine with unmatched clarity, but that held true only against the warriors of Star Swirl Domain.
To Xuan Han Yu, it brimmed with weaknesses!
Regrettably, limited to her present strength, engaging solo would let her just scarcely block the Three Extremes Sword Formation's barrage...
Guided by Xuan Han Yu, the Slaughter Sword gleamed with sanguine glow, morphing into a streak of Blood Light that barreled toward the Three Extremes Sword Formation!
At first, the audience reeled from Xuan Han Yu's presence, but soon they saw that as a Sword Soul, her energy was almost spent. Her main function seemed to be inhabiting blades and boosting combat techniques.
How on earth could Xuan Han Yu withstand the Three Extremes Sword Formation like this?
Yet the instant after, a scene beyond belief played out!
Clashing with the Blood Light, the Three Extremes Sword Formation abruptly halted midair, frozen from striking down!
