The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3492: It’s Time! (Tenth Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Could the mighty Three Extremes Sword Formation, powerful enough to demolish Ye Chen's Destructive Sword Light, truly be restrained by Xuan Han Yu's limited strength combined with the Slaughter Sword's innate power?
Demons from the Star Swirl Region atop Refining God Peak stared in complete shock; far too many bewildering events had occurred today beyond their grasp!
Yet right now, Xuan Han Yu's face showed deep seriousness; she wouldn't last much longer!
With martial insight that far exceeded Elder Jian's, she was just managing to resist the Three Extremes Sword Formation, but in the Lingwu Continent, pure skill alone couldn't suffice!
Overwhelming power crushes every technique!
Ye Chen had achieved this feat endless times!
Even relying on raw force alone, Elder Jian could soon shatter the Blood Light produced by the Slaughter Sword!
Elder Jian let out a fierce roar, as the blood essence across his face surged even fiercer. Disregarding all risks, he ignited more of his blood essence. His gut feeling warned him to eliminate Ye Chen immediately, even if only a split second sooner!
Credit where due, Elder Jian's vast years of combat honed his instincts to razor-sharp precision!
Xuan Han Yu felt the rising might inside the Three Extremes Sword Formation, her form becoming more indistinct while vital energy drained from her body into the Slaughter Sword like a flowing stream.
Her eyes wavered as she looked back at Ye Chen, spotting him seated in lotus position with shut eyes, lost in a trance, fully diving his mind into deep enlightenment!
A wry smile crossed Xuan Han Yu's refined features...
Doesn't this youth place way too much faith in me?
Truth be told, if Xuan Han Yu chose to bind herself to the Slaughter Sword and flee via its strength, neither Elder Jian nor Zhan You could halt her.
The sole person possibly capable of blocking her would be the Slaughter Sword's owner, Ye Chen...
Ye Chen knew this full well, but he placed utter trust in Xuan Han Yu...
A spark ignited in Xuan Han Yu's lovely gaze. A booming Dragonslayer Sword thundered out from the Blood Rainbow shaped by the Slaughter Sword, morphing into a colossal blood dragon spanning a thousand feet, tightly coiling around the ever-raging Three Extremes Sword Formation!
Thirty breaths...
Even if this form crumbled to dust, even if her Residual Soul scattered away, she had to endure that sword formation for thirty full breaths!
This marked her vow to Ye Chen.
In her existence, she'd broken her word just once, a choice that filled Xuan Han Yu with endless remorse...
Thus this time, come what may, she would prevail!
"Shatter for me! Shatter for me!!!" Elder Jian bellowed, the dark foreboding in his chest intensifying. His spiritual energy exploded outward, causing the three flying swords in the Three Extremes Sword Formation to quiver faintly!
The icy glow radiating from the sword formation also flared to blinding brilliance!
Still, despite this, they remained firmly gripped by that blood dragon, unable to budge even slightly!
However, Xuan Han Yu's silhouette started to dim away gradually...
Right then, an abrupt shift unfolded!
A dark silhouette abruptly charged at the blood dragon overhead, issuing a sharp cry, "Heavenly Yuan Palm!"
In the instant that followed, vast Palm Intent swept across sky and earth, its force rivaling the sheer sword qi from the Three Extremes Sword Formation!
This attacker turned out to be Zhan You, the Zhan Family prince from Moon Soul Domain!
He shot a chilly look at the cross-legged Ye Chen; though Ye Chen appeared defenseless, his boundless tricks and the nonstop surprises he delivered to Zhan You filled him with heavy caution!
For now, he hesitated to strike Ye Chen head-on!
But refraining from hitting Ye Chen didn't mean he couldn't strike elsewhere, did it?
The blood dragon summoned by Xuan Han Yu was already struggling to contain the Three Extremes Sword Formation. Striking it now would surely obliterate the dragon, dooming Ye Chen beneath the Three Extremes Sword Formation!
Yet in that very moment, multiple shadows dashed toward Zhan You at once!
"Qiao Ling!" Aunt Ming cried out in alarm, trying to intervene, but she arrived too late!
All eyes on Refining God Peak locked on, revealing the three charging figures as Zhang Qiao Ling, Zhang Chi, and Gu Han!
They realized they stood no chance against Zhan You, but in this instant, they couldn't hold back from acting!
Though Gu Han had clashed with Ye Chen before and slighted him, Ye Chen had pardoned him and extended major favor. Even toward Zhang Qiao Ling and Zhou Zixun, he upheld Gu Han's honor. Deep down, Gu Han already saw Ye Chen as a big brother!
Still, he felt unworthy of Ye Chen's companionship, so he'd never voiced it.
As for Zhang Chi, his deep loyalty and bonds needed no explanation.
Even Zhang Qiao Ling harbored tangled emotions for the man who first compelled her submission and shattered her petty pride!
Had Ye Chen chosen to await death without fighting back, they wouldn't have thrown themselves into peril. But clearly, everyone saw Ye Chen wasn't surrendering to fate!
Though unclear on Ye Chen's plan, they all held firm belief in their hearts that Ye Chen would pull off yet another wonder!
Failing to step up now would betray their own spirits and Ye Chen as well!
Zhan You eyed the trio with a venomous glare, scoffing, "Looks like you Star Swirl Domain scraps truly hold my Zhan family in contempt?"
The very next instant, his Palm Intent gathered, forming a devastating palm seal that barreled toward Zhang Qiao Ling and her companions with lethal intent!
Against this palm seal, the three gifted Star Swirl Domain demons with exceptional Martial Arts Talent stood rooted in terror. They couldn't twitch, much less fight back!
Not even Zhang Qiao Ling, wielder of the Nine Heavens Thunder Dao, escaped its grasp!
Zhan You's palm proved utterly fearsome!
The trio's faces drained of color; in a flash, they teetered on the brink of erasure beneath the palm's crushing might!
But then, a deafening thunder boom erupted in every ear, no mere storm rumble. Elites from the Star Swirl Domain sensed their divine souls ripping apart, inflicting searing agony!
This boom revealed itself as a divine soul assault!
Even Zhan You's power left him briefly stunned by the surprise strike, delaying the palm seal's plunge by a hair!
With the thunder came a bolt of lightning flashing before Zhang Qiao Ling and the rest, unveiling a poised woman's form—Aunt Ming!
Aunt Ming stared gravely at the oncoming palm seal, gripping a whip wrapped in crackling lightning!
She lashed out, unleashing myriad Silver Thunder Snakes that twisted through the air, each carving a shadowy path, slicing through even the void itself!
The whip's shadows coalesced into a Silver Thunder Jiao, bellowing as it surged at the enormous palm bearing heaven-shaking Immortal Flames Power!
A colossal boom rang out as the Thunder Jiao smashed into the palm seal, engulfing it in brilliant electric radiance!
The following instant, a fracture split across Aunt Ming's silver whip, fresh blood trickled from her lip's edge, while Zhang Qiao Ling and the others spewed blood from the shockwave and tumbled to the earth.
Zhan You fixed Aunt Ming with an icy stare, fury churning in his eyes, but a wicked grin twisted his lips as he spoke, "So, is your Qianlei Sect aiming to challenge my Zhan family?"
These feeble Star Swirl Domain fools had grown so audacious!
Were it not for binding rules holding him back, he'd raze the Star Swirl Domain without a second thought!
Even bound by rules, wiping out a mere Qianlei Sect posed no issue!
Zhan You ground his teeth, a touch of regret surfacing for dismissing the Tribute he'd brought back earlier, choosing to linger at Refining God Peak himself.
He'd visited the Star Swirl Domain for trivial affairs and chanced upon this wedding gathering, planning only to amuse himself briefly.
To avoid holdups, he'd dispatched the Tribute home to the Zhan family with essentials.
He hadn't foreseen running into a freak like Ye Chen here at Refining God Peak!
Now, even a pushover sect like Qianlei that the Zhan family could crush dared to resist him?
He belonged to the Zhan family!
A being of far superior status to the Star Swirl Domain rabble!
Aunt Ming stayed quiet. The Qianlei Sect indeed couldn't tangle with the Zhan family, yet she couldn't bear to witness Zhang Qiao Ling perish right before her!
Just then, a heavy sigh echoed across Refining God Peak.
The woman's shade guarding Ye Chen had almost vanished entirely...
Followed by a mournful cry. From the Slaughter Sword turned Blood Dragon, a lament resounded, the Dragon Phantom shattered, Blood Light scattered, and the Slaughter Sword crashed down solidly to the ground...
Thirty breaths were up...
