The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3599 - 3589: Greed (Third Update)

"Our destinies are linked together, and there's no way for me to break free from it, but if you stirred up fewer problems, things would be much smoother. You'd stay out of danger, and so would I. How does that sound?"

"Are you suggesting I should make less trouble?"

A peculiar expression crossed Ye Chen’s face. Was it possible that Han Wenxin saw him as someone who constantly invited chaos?

"Naturally, do you consent?" Han Wenxin inquired in a serious tone.

"I consent!"

Without a second thought, Ye Chen gave his approval. What Han Wenxin proposed wasn't unreasonable at all, and it could protect lives all around—no need for further deliberation.

"Excellent, don't forget what you've pledged!"

Han Wenxin’s face lit up with a grin upon hearing the response, and suddenly a powerful presence erupted from her. A protective shield emerged floating behind her back.

The shield emitted a grand and solemn righteous qi, along with blessed qi and holy radiance, making the entire Samsara Graveyard shine with crystal clarity.

At the same time, more than ten thousand divine runes adorned the shield, each brimming with tremendous shielding might, as though it represented the ultimate unbreakable entity. Even if the heavens themselves crumbled, this shield would remain unscathed.

Beyond the entrance, six mighty Heavenly Repairing Realm powerhouses had stepped into the tunnel. The mightiest among them was at the Heavenly Repairing Realm fourth-level, with two others at the third-level, and three more at the second-level of Heavenly Repairing Realm.

Although this group wasn't as overwhelming as the ones that had cornered Wei Ying, it still posed a serious threat to Ye Chen and his companions.

Now, they had pinpointed Ye Chen’s position, and each wore a thrilled smirk.

Just at that instant, Wei Ying had already activated the Sacred Flames Melting Sky Lotus, sending glorious sacred fires to obstruct the advance of the Heavenly Repairing Realm intruders.

In the rear of those flames, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and Jun Mo were ready for action, their energies exploding outward, while ferocious demonic qi and crimson glows danced across the cavern walls.

"Hmph!"

The leader among these Heavenly Repairing Realm experts was an elderly figure clad in a deep azure gown, a fan tucked at his side, with neatly combed silver locks, and eyes overflowing with insatiable avarice.

"I never thought you'd brought reinforcements, but this kind of strength won't hold back someone like me!"

With a mocking scoff, the elder cast a disdainful glance at the Sacred Flames Melting Sky Lotus. "This supreme treasure of Hongmeng has been on my wishlist for ages. Eliminating Huo Qingtian was truly a favor to me!"

Bursting with overbearing pride, the old man knew Wei Ying was in dire condition, clearly wounded deeply and lacking the power to fight. He dismissed the Sky-covering Demon Emperor and Jun Mo entirely.

Regarding Ye Chen, merely a third-level Heavenly God Realm insect, he appeared frozen in fear by their arrival, so the elder spared him even less thought.

Wei Ying’s gaze sharpened with icy fury at these words, and she shot back immediately, "You senile idiot, Huo Qingtian’s real body could be slain. Against a decrepit has-been like you, I could handle it with far less effort!"

"Hahaha! Empty boasts, given how you're faring now? You think you can slay me?"

The old man erupted in furious laughter. "I rule over Biqiu Divine Manor, and even Huo Qingtian held some fear of me. You must have resorted to some sly scheme to finish him off; against me, you're not up to the task!"

"Lord Zhou, allow me to capture these folks and deliver Emperor Juehan’s hidden truths to you."

Right then, a third-level Heavenly Repairing Realm cultivator beside Lord Zhou advanced, speaking in a bootlicking manner.

The remaining Heavenly Repairing Realm experts shot him furious looks upon hearing this. His sycophancy was flawless, earning him Lord Zhou’s repeated indulgences and propelling him to third-level Heavenly Repairing Realm in record time.

Lord Zhou, catching the words from his side, showed a pleased grin, evidently relishing the flattery.

"Very well, handle them yourself. A badly hurt woman and three insignificant pests don't deserve my personal involvement."

"Indeed, Lord Zhou speaks wisely; permit me to assist you."

The cultivator responded eagerly with a beaming smile, then turned his gaze toward Wei Ying and the rest, his eyes gleaming with desire and fierce murderous intent.

"All of you, cease your pointless resistance, give up, and I'll grant you a quick death."

A deep gash marked the face of this cultivator, and his sinister leer made him appear all the more terrifying.

"Who do you think you are, demanding our surrender? Why don't you charge in and meet your end instead?"

Jun Mo had resigned himself to the unavoidable clash at this point, shedding his reluctance, hurling insults, and bracing for an all-out brawl.

These taunts ignited the rage of the scarred cultivator, whose third-level Heavenly Repairing Realm might surged wildly, summoning a torrent of surging aqueous radiance.

The scarred cultivator lifted his arm, as if summoning a celestial stream, which thundered downward, slamming against the blaze from the Sacred Flames Melting Sky Lotus.

"Sss!"

Boundless furious waters cascaded in, clashing right away with the fiery glow. As vapors rose in clouds, the flames got breached, and the colossal stream surged onward.

"Damn it!"

Witnessing this, Jun Mo muttered a curse through gritted teeth, his expression darkening, before he lashed out abruptly, with blood-red beams lighting up the heavens and shaping into a sanguine blade.

"Blood Slaughter Heavenly Slash!"

With a fierce swing, Jun Mo unleashed the strike, sending savage brutal energy and lethal aura crashing down, carving into the waterway, yet its force proved overwhelming, shattering the blade outright and almost claiming Jun Mo’s life.

"Demon Blood Melting Sky Furnace!"

In the same instant, the Sky-covering Demon Emperor launched his assault too, unleashing a torrent of infernal flames, as a ferocious cauldron plummeted, engulfing the enormous stream, while intense blazes swiftly vaporized the waters.

"Oh? Not bad at all."

The scarred man arched a brow in astonishment, impressed that the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, despite being only at first-level Heavenly Repairing Realm, could challenge his sacred energies.

Yet the scarred man harbored no dread, knowing the Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s strength wouldn't endure, and dealing with it posed no challenge for him. As the confrontation dragged on, victory would inevitably go to him.

Observing Ye Chen’s allies, the scarred man dismissed all but the Sky-covering Demon Emperor as unworthy opponents. Wei Ying lay gravely wounded, while Ye Chen and Jun Mo fell short of Heavenly Repairing Realm, so he ignored them completely. After subduing the Sky-covering Demon Emperor, the rest would fall easily.

For now, the scarred man schemed patiently, draining the Sky-covering Demon Emperor’s reserves bit by bit, while Lord Zhou watched from the side with growing impatience.

"Hmph, mere insects, and you're dragging this out? Everyone, strike as one and capture them!"

Greed flickered in Lord Zhou’s eyes as he enveloped himself in a raging presence, with wisps of Hongmeng Energy swirling around him like flowing sashes.
