The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3712 - 3702: Not a Match (Second Update)
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
The disciples of Zhenyuan Palace let out sneers one after another. Meanwhile, the two elders of Gao Lin wore grim expressions, convinced that Ye Chen was no match for Hua Baomin.
After all, regardless of Ye Chen’s exceptional talent or extraordinary bloodline, he was merely a cultivator in the Heavenly God Realm. How could he possibly defeat Hua Baomin, who stood second only to a venerable immortal like Feng Yusi?
Just as the two Gao Lin elders were sinking into despair over Ye Chen’s predicament, Hua Baomin, brandishing the Sky-Slicing Sword, descended before him.
As the Sky-Slicing Sword was poised to strike Ye Chen, Ye Chen suddenly fixed his gaze upon Hua Baomin.
"Buzz!"
An awe-inspiring divine radiance, capable of annihilating heavens and earth, erupted from Ye Chen’s eyes. It pulsed with the boundless might of the divine soul. The majestic power of the Nirvana Star Sky surged forth instantly, and a flicker of horror crossed Hua Baomin’s face as the Sky-Slicing Sword in his grasp disintegrated.
"A mere insignificant wretch like you dares to challenge me?"
Ye Chen declared coldly. The Slaughter Sword was then unleashed, and the Destruction Divine Dao manifested. An overwhelming force enveloped everything, as if the Sunlight Buddha himself was about to topple, and the myriad realms were on the brink of submersion!
"Boom!"
The destructive power, sweeping across all heavens, erupted with a killing blow. A trace of terror flashed in Hua Baomin’s eyes. In sheer panic, he hastily raised the Ten Thousand Beast Soul-devouring Lamp he held to shield himself.
"Bang!"
The very next second, the Ten Thousand Beast Soul-devouring Lamp offered no resistance whatsoever and was directly shattered by the Slaughter Sword. The anguished cries of countless ferocious beasts echoed, only to be obliterated moments later.
"Pshh!"
The Slaughter Sword plunged through Hua Baomin’s chest, and destructive energies surged into his body. Hua Baomin’s face instantly turned ashen, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent hurtling backward.
"Save me!"
Hua Baomin slammed into a colossal pillar of the Heavenly Saint Hall and tumbled amidst the debris, his voice filled with utter despair.
"My son!"
Upon hearing Hua Baomin’s desperate plea, a Qing Yi elder seated above the Heavenly Saint Hall was greatly alarmed and swiftly moved to his aid.
The Qing Yi elder plunged into the rubble in an instant, extricating Hua Baomin. However, he discovered Hua Baomin’s body was suffused with a terrifying and volatile destructive power. In the next moment, Hua Baomin appeared on the verge of exploding and perishing.
"Such ruthless methods!"
Anger flared in the Qing Yi elder’s eyes. With a swift motion, he struck Hua Baomin’s hand, channeling a vast surge of power into his body. This instantly dispelled the destructive force, thereby preserving Hua Baomin’s life.
Despite being rescued, Hua Baomin was left barely clinging to life, appearing utterly dejected. His gaze was clouded with despair.
He had unleashed a powerful attack, only to be nearly slain by Ye Chen with a single sword strike. Hua Baomin’s confidence had been utterly annihilated by Ye Chen.
It could be said that Hua Baomin was once a prodigious talent, but with his confidence shattered by Ye Chen, achieving anything significant would prove exceedingly difficult. This was because no matter how much stronger he became, his mind would forever be haunted by the fear of Ye Chen. Ye Chen had already become his inner demon; without vanquishing Ye Chen, Hua Baomin would never have a chance at true emergence.
This move by Ye Chen had practically crippled Hua Baomin and plunged his father, the Qing Yi elder, into a state of profound fury.
This Qing Yi elder, the third most powerful expert within Zhenyuan Palace, was named Hua Wufa, possessing strength that reached the heavens. At this moment, his wrath caused the entire Heavenly Saint Hall to tremble.
Witnessing Ye Chen nearly kill Hua Baomin with a single sword, the two elders of Gao Lin were left utterly speechless. They were not only astounded by Ye Chen’s heaven-defying might but also filled with apprehension towards Hua Wufa.
Hua Wufa’s cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Repairing Realm, far exceeding the capabilities of either of them. Now, Ye Chen’s merciless actions would likely incur Hua Wufa’s unforgiving wrath.
"It’s all over!"
The same grim realization dawned upon the two elders of Gao Lin.
"Ye Chen, your actions are utterly ruthless, bordering on sheer malevolence. If I allow you to live today, it would be equivalent to unleashing a scourge upon the world!"
At this moment, Hua Wufa glared at Ye Chen, his voice thundering with rage.
"I am ruthless?"
Upon hearing this accusation, Ye Chen let out a cold snort, a sneer playing on his lips. "Your son was moments away from taking my life, and I am forbidden from killing him? Is this the doctrine of your Zhenyuan Palace?"
Hua Wufa was momentarily rendered speechless. His fury then intensified, his eyes blazing with madness. Realizing he could not win the argument, he abruptly made his move.
"Die for me!"
With a sudden thrust of his sword, Hua Wufa aimed to end Ye Chen’s life. His objective was twofold: to avenge Hua Baomin and to purge Hua Baomin’s inner demons, without which his own future accomplishments would be severely hampered.
Hua Wufa’s sword strike was imbued with an extreme, terrifying power. The blade shimmered with a frigid luminescence, as though an endless abyss of hell churned within, filled with the wails of countless malevolent spirits and the enraged roars of Asuras.
The sword’s might seemed capable of annihilating the very fabric of the starry sky. Boundless Hongmeng Energy surged forth, a piercing force traversing the myriad Heavens, erupting as if unleashed across countless epochs with the singular intent to kill.
Upon witnessing this fearsome display, both the elders and disciples within the Heavenly Saint Hall were struck with horror. Hua Wufa’s power had grown even more formidable, nearly rivaling that of the sage-like old man.
The two elders from Gao Lin watched the scene unfold with despair. They could feel the sheer ferocity of Hua Wufa’s sword and knew in their hearts that even they could not withstand such an attack. If they were to forcefully intervene on Ye Chen’s behalf, they too would be cut down by a single stroke.
"Alas, this is simply your destiny."
The two elders of Gao Lin looked at Ye Chen, sighing with a sense of detachment.
At the most critical juncture, when everyone had certainly judged Ye Chen as doomed, a beam of cold light suddenly shot out. It exploded with an endless, chilling radiance, possessing a grandeur that surpassed even Hua Wufa’s sword.
"Boom!"
The cold light met Hua Wufa’s sword in an instant, unleashing an unpredictable, violent shockwave that swept through the entirety of the Heavenly Saint Hall. Even Yang Tiangyang’s eyes flickered with astonishment at this spectacle.
"Block it for me!"
Yang Tiangyang moved swiftly, unleashing a vast surge of power that enveloped the entire Heavenly Saint Hall, successfully containing the unparalleled, violent shock. However, the crowd within the hall was still sent reeling, thrown about chaotically. Some disciples suffered grave injuries, spewing blood and falling into unconsciousness.
At this moment, Hua Wufa abruptly lifted his head, fixing a venomous glare upon the sage-like old man, Lv Tianlu.
"Why are you stopping me!"
Hua Wufa was overcome with immense fury. He could never have fathomed that Lv Tianlu would intervene to protect such an arrogant wretch as Ye Chen.
Simultaneously, Yang Tiangyang turned a cold gaze towards Lv Tianlu. Sensing that something was amiss, he noted that Lv Tianlu had been subtly siding with Ye Chen from the outset, a fact that struck him as highly suspicious.
Just then, Lv Tianlu gazed coldly at Hua Wufa, his tone frosty as he spoke.
"Have you lost your mind?"
His words plunged the Heavenly Saint Hall into silence. Every gaze was fixed upon Lv Tianlu, none understanding his intentions.
"What do you mean by that?"
Hua Wufa also stared coldly at Lv Tianlu. It was clear that if Lv Tianlu did not offer a reasonable explanation, Hua Wufa would fight him to the death, even if he was outmatched.
At this point, Lv Tianlu shook his head in disappointment. "You are simply too foolish. When you, as an elder, interfere in the duels among the younger generation, how do you think the outside world will perceive my Zhenyuan Palace? Do you wish to bring disgrace upon our Zhenyuan Palace?"
