The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3664 - 3654: Righteous? Evil? (Eight Updates)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
A crimson silhouette hurtled backward like a meteor in freefall, diving swiftly from the heavens toward the ground!
A thunderous crash echoed next as the figure smashed into the earth, forming a massive crater!
Right now, Li Xiuyuan’s body was half demolished, one arm severed, soaked entirely in blood, critically injured from merely a single slash of Huang Xintian’s sword!
In utter disbelief, he roared: "How is this possible! I was clearly pressing you down in the fight! How could this happen!"
Huang Xingtian gripped the Dragonslayer Sword while overlooking Li Xiuyuan with a sneer: "Pressing me down? Haha, Li Xiuyuan, I withstood countless strikes from you; if I failed to fully decipher your martial arts, I wouldn’t merit the name of the Nine Saint Demon Sect’s foremost young genius."
Li Xiuyuan’s complexion drained of color in an instant. The Huang Xingtian he had seemingly dominated for so long was in fact probing and grasping his techniques?
Though mighty, the Infinite Dust Sweeping Technique proves incredibly tough to perfect!
Even a talent like Li Xiuyuan hadn’t attained its major achievement stage and struggled somewhat to deploy it!
Yet despite that, not just anyone can unravel it!
Particularly amid combat!
Huang Xingtian stands as a demon spawn, but his aptitude for martial arts defies the heavens to this extent!
At the same time, overwhelming terror surged in Li Xiuyuan’s gaze!
He was finished!
The prospective leader of the Seven Mysterious Daoist Sect was on the verge of perishing right here!
Witnessing Li Xiuyuan’s dire wounds, Wu Huo charged desperately toward him, yet She Jingjing abruptly shifted to her human shape then. Her lovely eyes gleamed sharply, and with a snap of her hand, she unleashed a long whip. Alive and nimble as it seemed, the whip swiftly ensnared Wu Huo completely!
Wu Huo thrashed wildly, howling in rage, but She Jingjing merely curled her lips in a cold smile. Crafted from her own shed skin over her life, this Ba Snake Whip defied easy rupture!
Demonic power erupted from Huang Xingtian as he lifted the Dragonslayer Sword anew, ready to cleave Li Xiuyuan in one fatal stroke.
Li Qingyu’s stunning features brightened with delight at the sight. Should these fiends from the Nine Saint Demon Sect dispatch Li Xiuyuan and his ally without issue, she and Ye Chen would surely remain unharmed!
Yet abruptly, Li Xiuyuan’s face grew serene. He eyed his half-brother with an icy grin: "Brother, don’t blame me. I was forced into this..."
Hearing those words, Wu Huo froze momentarily. What was his brother implying?
A savage glint twisted Li Xiuyuan’s features as he glared venomously at the airborne Huang Xingtian, bellowing: "Asura Possession!"
Those four syllables warped Wu Huo’s battered visage in agony!
The instant after, before a cry could escape, his frame ballooned explosively!
She Jingjing’s expression shifted in alarm as she yanked back her whip. The swelling force terrified; not even the Ba Snake Whip could restrain Wu Huo’s expanding form!
A piercing wail of despair burst from Wu Huo, followed by a deafening explosion that tore his body apart!
But the bursting flesh didn’t scatter; rather, it funneled straight into Wu Huo’s heart!
Though Wu Huo perished utterly, body and soul eradicated, his heart throbbed midair, devouring his blood essence and divine soul alike. Abruptly, it contorted, morphing into a huge blood-red beetle! A dim black-red skull mark emerged on its carapace!
The beetle shuddered before streaking as a blood beam toward Li Xiuyuan!
Onlookers’ faces twisted in shock; this beast eerily resembled the fabled Asura Demon Worm!
In the Outer Realm, the Asura Demon Worm counts as an exceedingly scarce spirit beast, priceless beyond measure in the Moon Soul Domain!
Not for its innate might, but for its singular extraordinary ability!
Poisonous Gu Planting!
Legends tell of an ancient Gu Refining sect devising a horrifying Gu art known as Asura Demon Gu Refining!
So outrageously potent was this Asura Demon Gu Refining that elite Outer Realm powers allied to obliterate the sect!
Weak in itself, the sect leveraged Asura Demon Gu Refining to battle top sects for three days and nights. Though destroyed in the end, it dragged a million warriors down with it!
One can only imagine the dread of Asura Demon Gu Refining!
The Asura Demon Worm served as the essential spirit beast for this Gu art!
Post-battle, however, the Asura Demon Worm vanished from the Outer Realm. Its nurturing demands are brutally stringent, with virtually no wild specimens, and solely that Gu Refining sect knew how to rear them.
Still, the Asura Demon Worm earned infamy, its likeness familiar to every warrior!
To think Li Xiuyuan harbored an Asura Demon Worm!
Worse, he had embedded it in Wu Huo!
This supposed upright scion of a righteous sect actually commanded the profoundly malevolent Asura Demon Gu Refining Technique?
Though heaven-defying, mastering Asura Demon Gu Refining demands immense effort. First, a blood kin must serve as the Gu vessel, with the Asura Demon Worm inserted into their heart during infancy!
Truly wondrous, this Asura Demon Worm harms the host not at all once lodged in the heart—save perhaps warping their temperament toward savagery and bloodlust!
Moreover, it bolsters the host’s cultivation base, physique, and beyond!
Until the moment the planter activates it, evolving the Asura Demon Worm into a full Gu!
Then the host’s flesh, Qi, and soul all feed the Asura Demon Worm!
And so the Asura Demon Worm completes its change into Asura Demon Gu, fusing with the planter...
Dubbed Asura Demon Gu for how it catapults the planter’s strength skyward, akin to ascending from a Blood Sea Asura to an Almighty Slayer God!
Naturally, the Asura Demon Gu’s boost hinges heavily on the vessel’s power. Stronger vessel yields greater gain!
Thus, planters typically bide until the vessel peaks in strength before employing a secret method to convert the Asura Demon Worm to Gu.
All this unfolded in a blink!
Now Huang Xingtian’s blade descended at last!
The frigid scarlet-golden sword gleam hacked savagely at Li Xiuyuan!
Heaven and earth quaked, blasts resounding without end, as if a thousand nukes erupted together in the Moon God Shrine, whipping up dust clouds that blanketed the skies!
All peered tensely into the swirling dust!
In their hearts, they fervently hoped this strike would end Li Xiuyuan!
None had witnessed Asura Demon Gu’s might firsthand, but if tales held truth, this Gu art promised terrifying potency!
