The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3627 - 3617: No Different Than Suicide! (Third Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
A longstanding tradition within the Star Moon Palace involves relaxing entry requirements for martial artists hailing from the Moon Soul Domain who possess the bloodline of those from the Star Swirl Domain!
Upon hearing this declaration, the complexion of Zhao Jiaran shifted drastically. Although he was already teetering on the edge of death, his breathing grew even more labored and shallow. He was clearly consumed by rage!
This was the precise subject he despised having brought to light.
Ye Chen observed the reaction from Zhao Jiaran, a cold glint igniting in his eyes as he spoke in a low, resonant tone, "You appear quite incensed, don't you? Do you truly believe you stand superior to others?"
"Are you aware that without those Star Swirl Domain martial artists you hold in such contempt, neither you nor the entirety of the Star Moon Palace would be worth even the smallest fragment of value? Do you comprehend this?"
"You achieved your current standing thanks to the bloodline of Star Swirl martial artists, yet you have the audacity to turn around and oppress their kin? In this entire existence, the Star Moon Palace is the one place that holds no qualifications to look down upon those from the Star Swirl Domain!"
"Very well, my words are concluded. You may head to your grave now. You are an eyesore to this world, a piece of trash. When you reach the afterlife, ensure you beg for mercy at the feet of your ancestors."
After delivering these final words, Ye Chen raised his foot and descended toward Zhao Jiaran with a heavy, deliberate step!
Considering Ye Chen’s terrifying physical power, this single strike was more than enough to reduce Zhao Jiaran into a mist of blood!
In the eyes of Ye Chen, Zhao Jiaran had ceased to be human; allowing such a creature another second of life was an affront to the world itself!
However, at that very heartbeat, a voice boomed throughout the expanse of the Star Moon Palace!
"Halt immediately! You must surely be aware that under the Star Moon Law, the slaying of a Star Moon Palace Deacon constitutes a capital offense!"
A dark silhouette darted rapidly toward Ye Chen. The individual wore black armor and brandished a long spear; they were none other than the Star Moon Law Enforcer!
Originally, this Law Enforcer had maintained a position of indifference toward Ye Chen. Like the rest of the spectators, he had been confident that Zhao Jiaran would swiftly dismantle Ye Chen, but no one could have anticipated this outcome!
For a brief moment, even the enforcer stood rooted to the spot, completely baffled and failing to intervene in time!
It was only in this fleeting second that he became aware of the situation!
Yet, Ye Chen simply laughed at his ultimatum...
Is this Star Moon Law Enforcer truly a paragon of impartiality?
Previously, when Zhao Jiaran treated him with such disdain and failed to organize the assessment, the enforcer was nowhere to be seen.
When Zhao Jiaran unleashed his pressure in a bid to suppress him, no enforcer arrived.
Even when Zhao Jiaran launched a lethal assault, attempting to end his life, the enforcer made no appearance!
Now, he suddenly decides to enforce justice?
Since the Law Enforcer chooses to ignore the suffering and mortality of those from the Star Swirl Domain, by what right does he presume to impose the law upon them?
Ye Chen offered a mocking sneer at the warrior clad in black, "Oh?"
His foot finished its descent!
With a thunderous crash, the entire palace trembled, and Zhao Jiaran was completely pulverized into a mist of blood, left to dissipate under the force of the stomp!
A spectral soul flickered amidst the crimson fog, drifting aimlessly as it attempted to flee toward the refuge of the Star Moon Law Enforcer!
But in that instant, a glimmer of light appeared in the hand of Ye Chen, and the Slaughter Sword manifested!
He opted not to obliterate the soul of Zhao Jiaran instantly, as his goal was to draw it into the blade.
Surges of blood-red light erupted, and a Soul-devouring Dao Rhythm emanated from the Slaughter Sword. The soul of Zhao Jiaran emitted a desperate, miserable scream, struggling to channel its soul power, yet it was dragged into the blade without any hope of escape!
Even a Calamity Ghost cannot withstand the Soul-devouring Technique, let alone a mere creature like Zhao Jiaran!
Everything transpired in a single blink of an eye!
Only after the soul of Zhao Jiaran had vanished into the Slaughter Sword did the armored warrior reach Ye Chen’s side!
He glared at Ye Chen, his features dark and grim!
A Deacon of the Star Moon Palace had perished, and he would undoubtedly be held accountable!
The Star Moon Law Enforcer shouted, his face contorted in anger, "Scum of the Star Swirl Domain, do you have any idea what you have committed? Now, shatter your own limbs. I will drag you back to the Star Moon Palace to await your sentence!"
Ye Chen issued a chilling, cold laugh, "What have I done? Are you incapable of witnessing the truth with your own eyes?"
The expression of the Law Enforcer twisted further—did this piece of trash truly dare to talk back to him?
The punch Ye Chen had landed earlier was undeniably powerful, but it appeared to be at the level of a first-level Heavenly Repairing Realm at best, whereas he, as a true inner sect disciple of the Star Moon Palace, commanded considerably more terrifying might!
Therefore, even if Ye Chen was a strange anomaly, he remained a trivial threat; the enforcer felt no fear of defeat!
He let out a cold, icy laugh, "Very well, very well indeed. You have committed a grave crime, yet you possess no shred of repentance and persist in resisting? That simply compounds your original sin! Since you refuse to cripple yourself, I shall do it for you, boy. You will certainly live to regret this!"
Once he had spoken, he leveled his long spear, and a terrifying Halberd Intent surged outward to envelop the entirety of the Star Moon Palace!
Every person present within the palace felt their knees weaken, collapsing onto the ground while trembling violently. Their faces were etched with extreme agony, feeling as if their physical forms were being sliced into a thousand pieces by the pressure of the Halberd Intent!
Now, only the enforcer, Ye Chen, and Jin Shuhui remained standing upright.
Jin Shuhui was only able to remain upright because Ye Chen had utilized his True Martial Intent to shield her, and because she had recently refined the Heavenly Spirit Spiritual Power, which had fortified her own foundation. Despite this, her beautiful face revealed the immense strain she was under!
Ye Chen’s eyes flickered—was this the standard of the inner sanctum of the Star Moon Palace?
It was undeniably powerful!
With the prowess this enforcer displayed, he surely possessed the strength to strike down Sun Tianmin with a single blow.
It appeared the enforcer had not been utilizing his full strength until just now.
What he exhibited at this moment was his true caliber!
The Star Moon Law Enforcer offered a cold, smug smile. When he had faced Sun Tianmin, he had not held back out of any sense of mercy, but rather because he simply couldn't be bothered!
The life or death of Sun Tianmin was of no consequence to him.
Indeed, the Star Moon Palace assigned Law Enforcers not only to maintain order but also to supervise their Deacons and disciples to ensure they were fulfilling their tasks.
Yet, as the eons passed, the core duty of the law enforcers had been conveniently forgotten by the disciples of the Star Moon Palace.
This particular enforcer was merely here to churn out contribution points; responsibility and duty were merely empty words for him. He focused only on ensuring the personnel of the Star Moon Palace didn't perish, caring nothing for actual justice; the existence or annihilation of Star Swirl trash, or whether they were worthy of entering the Moon Soul Domain, was entirely irrelevant to him.
But now, Ye Chen had successfully incensed him!
Just as the Star Moon Law Enforcer prepared to strike, Ye Chen asked, "You claim I have committed a heinous crime. What crime is that?"
The enforcer’s grin sharpened into something colder. Was he feigning ignorance?
Perhaps he was attempting to stall for time?
This was clear evidence that the strength of this Star Swirl scum was ultimately inferior to his own!
Nevertheless, the enforcer felt no rush.
While this boy in the Heavenly God Realm was certainly enigmatic, lacking absolute certainty, the enforcer did not want to act rashly and leave any chance for error.
The Halberd Technique he cultivated was titled the Wuwei Divine Spear!
The Wuwei Divine Spear held a mid-tier ranking among the vast library of combat techniques in the Star Moon Palace, but it possessed a unique trait: the longer one took to charge the strike, the more devastating the subsequent power would be!
Once the Wuwei Divine Spear reached its zenith of power, it could unleash a strike comparable to the highest-grade martial techniques of the Star Moon Palace!
If Ye Chen wanted to delay, then he was essentially choosing his own grave!
