The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3628 - 3618: Changes (Fourth Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
The Star Moon Law Enforcer curled his lip into a sneer, "You eliminated the Examination Steward of the Star Moon Palace, and you truly believe you are innocent?"
Ye Chen responded with composure, "Examination Steward? Did he ever organize an examination for me? It is true that I killed him, but did you bother to intervene when he assaulted me? Since he desired my life, I merely ended his. What crime exists in that?"
The Star Moon Law Enforcer erupted into a loud, mocking laugh, "Boy, are you confused? Do you truly expect to discuss fairness with the Star Moon Palace? Does a low-born piece of filth like you possess such a right?"
"Within the grounds of my Star Moon Palace, if we command you to kneel, you lack the power to object, do you grasp that? For a lowly breed, simple resistance is a capital crime!"
The Law Enforcer fell silent, and his already menacing spear Qi surged with even greater intensity!
He bared his teeth at Ye Chen in a predatory grin, "However, you will no longer have the chance to linger on this plane! Brat, perish now and pay the ultimate price for your foolishness!!!"
Ye Chen replied with icy indifference, "So, if passage to the Moon Soul Domain requires killing all of you? Hmph, in that case, you had best start your journey to the afterlife."
Perish?
The Star Moon Law Enforcer scoffed with disdain. Was this simpleton still attempting to puff out his chest and bluff at this late hour?
How laughable!
The next moment, the spear thrust outward!
A freezing gale seemed to threaten the collapse and shattering of the sky itself!
Countless fissures tore across the void, and the high-grade materials forming the Star Moon Palace began to splinter and fall away. The Wuwei Divine Spear radiated a chilling light, plunging toward Ye Chen like a divine dragon descending from the heavens!
The Law Enforcer’s eyes blazed with intense fervor!
This represented the absolute, fully charged strike of the Wuwei Divine Spear!
He had never found the occasion to unleash it in past conflicts, but now, he felt an overwhelming force, capable of piercing the firmament, erupting from the shaft in his grasp!
This maneuver was undoubtedly the peak of this enforcer's capability!
The surrounding Star Moon Palace disciples, despite struggling under the weight of the spear intent, watched Ye Chen with cruel anticipation. Surely, this bizarre youth must be at death's door?
Even if he possessed monstrous talent, he remained merely in the Heavenly God Realm. How could he possibly withstand such a heaven-defying technique?
Even Jin Shuhui squeezed her fists until her knuckles turned white, her gaze fixed on Ye Chen with palpable anxiety!
While she placed great faith in Ye Chen's prowess, this strike was far too devastating, and she could not suppress her mounting dread!
Yet, when the crowd witnessed Ye Chen’s reaction, they were left stunned!
Why?
In their estimation, while it was impossible for Ye Chen to deflect such a blow, he ought to have offered some form of resistance, should he not?
But Ye Chen?
He stood perfectly still, displaying no intention of defending himself!
The Star Moon Law Enforcer chuckled coldly; had this dunce finally surrendered to despair?
Jin Shuhui’s expression shifted, and she screamed, "Ye Chen, what are you doing? Move!"
No matter how strong Ye Chen might be, it was impossible to survive this spear strike unscathed!
If he did not act immediately, he would have no window of opportunity left!
However, Ye Chen seemed not to hear, standing motionless without shifting a single muscle.
The Star Moon Law Enforcer channeled his killing intent to the limit. His eyes gleamed with malice, and the cold edge of the spear sharpened further!
At this point, even if the boy wanted to strike back, it was too late!
The spear was moments away from crushing Ye Chen’s skull!
Even a mountain of stone would be pulverized into nothingness by this blow, would it not?
Let alone a human head?
In the view of the Star Moon Palace members, this Heavenly God Realm youth was undeniably doomed!!!
No individual could pull off two miracles in succession!
But at that exact second, a strange ripple pulsed from Ye Chen’s core!
Vaguely, the outline of a woman seemed to materialize!
The world appeared to freeze, and the entire Star Moon Palace drifted into an unnatural stillness!
It was the aura of the Soul-devouring Dao Rhythm!
It was the presence of Xuan Han Yu!
Ye Chen, despite his own surprise, chanted quietly, "Soul-devouring Sky."
These four syllables fell like the decree of Yama, sealing the fate of the living!
A devastating soul wave, amplified by the Soul-devouring Dao Rhythm, hammered into the mind of the Star Moon Law Enforcer!
As an inner sanctum disciple of the Star Moon Palace, his divine soul was certainly not unprotected.
In fact, his defenses were remarkably sturdy!
However, against the combined force of Ye Chen and Xuan Han Yu’s Soul-devouring Sky, his mental shield was like tissue paper, shattering in an instant!
A measureless wave of terror flooded the enforcer’s consciousness, and before he could even register the attack, his eyes went vacant!
His lifeforce vanished!
The terrifying spear intent and the freezing air dissipated like a phantom in the wind...
Once he was dead, how could he maintain his martial formation?
Ye Chen had not been passive; he had simply waited for the perfect window to unleash a kill with the Soul-devouring Sky!
The surviving Star Moon Palace disciples were on the verge of losing their minds!
They could barely grasp the reality of what they had just witnessed!
With a dull crash, the empty corpse of the enforcer slammed into the earth, blood seeping from his nose and ears.
The onlookers watched the scene, the faint echo of the enforcer’s final, silent scream ringing in their minds...
Trembling...
An incessant, uncontrollable shuddering took hold!
Their bodies and spirits fractured with fear!
That enforcer was an elite disciple of the Star Moon Palace’s inner sanctums!
Yet, Ye Chen had obliterated his soul with such ease?
Furthermore, it did not seem like a standard kill; it looked as if he had consumed the soul raw!
This calm, indifferent youth was, in fact, a soul cultivator!
And a terrifying one at that, capable of instant deletion of a Heavenly Repairing Realm expert!
Such a thing defied the boundaries of humanity!
A demon—only a demon could possess such twisted abilities, right?
When combined with the heaven-defying feats Ye Chen had displayed previously, he was far worse than any specter!
How could they not be paralyzed by terror?
Ye Chen fixed his gaze on the disciples, who were huddled and shaking in fear, and stated coolly, "Now, you may proceed with my examination!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples scrambled to their feet. The most senior among them bowed with frantic deference, "Y-young sir, please, give us a moment! We will arrange everything immediately! Ten breaths—no, three! We will have it ready in three!"
Ye Chen offered a gentle smile, "That is a much better attitude. I expect you to maintain it, otherwise..."
He gestured toward the cooling corpse, adding calmly, "You all understand what fate awaits you, right?"
At this point, none of these Star Moon Palace disciples dared whisper a word of defiance against Ye Chen.
One after another, they bobbed their heads in frantic agreement, mirroring the action of hungry chickens.
Within a mere three breaths, everything was ready.
