The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 3718 - 3708: Who Is It, Really!
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Right now, all eyes were fixed on Ye Chen, who stood utterly still, as if frozen by Feng Yusi’s sword strike. The hopeful anticipation for a miracle from Ye Chen dissipated, leaving behind sighs of disappointment. It became clear that Ye Chen was still no match for a venerable cultivator like Feng Yusi, and his fate seemed sealed – to be vanquished. Even the esteemed Elders Jun Mo and Gao Lin appeared crestfallen. Elder Gao Lin, unable to bear the sight of Ye Chen’s impending doom, shut his eyes, not wishing to witness the final moments.
Ye Chen’s performance in this encounter had revealed to Elder Gao Lin the astonishing, heaven-defying nature of Ye Chen’s spiritual root, potentially surpassing even Feng Yusi’s. The realization dawned that if Ye Chen could prevail, it would signify an unparalleled boon for the Six Paths Sect. Alas, the opportunity seemed lost. Had they foreseen this, the Elders would have moved heaven and earth to shield Ye Chen, even if it meant binding and sealing him to prevent his journey to Zhenyuan Palace.
At this juncture, everyone firmly believed Ye Chen’s doom was imminent, yet Ye Chen himself exhibited an air of detachment. “Just fight!” These words, spoken by Han Wenxin, echoed in Ye Chen’s mind, causing his spirit to surge and his eyes to gleam with renewed intensity. In that instant, a torrent of immense power surged into Ye Chen’s being. This potent force, a gift from Han Wenxin, caused Ye Chen to explode with an earth-shattering aura. Just as his defeat seemed certain, Ye Chen unleashed a wave of power comparable to Feng Yusi’s earlier display.
“What is this!” Yang Tiangyang, who had been so confident of victory, widened his eyes in sheer disbelief. He sensed an alien power coursing through Ye Chen. Could it be that Ye Chen also had an external benefactor? “Who dares to lend power to Ye Chen under my watchful gaze!” Yang Tiangyang’s mind raced, unsettled. For anyone to achieve such a feat, their cultivation must be extraordinary, yet even a thorough search of Southern Saint City yielded no such formidable individual.
Meanwhile, Feng Yusi, her hand gripping the Dragonslayer Sword, displayed a flicker of surprise. She had been utterly convinced that Ye Chen could not survive her potent strike, yet she hadn't anticipated him manifesting further power. “But it all concludes here. It’s far too late for you to unleash your strength now.” Feng Yusi regarded Ye Chen with a touch of regret. Her intention was a direct confrontation, but even with Ye Chen’s sudden surge of power, her attack had already been unleashed, leaving him precious little room for an effective counter.
At that moment, Feng Yusi’s deadly sword light sliced through the void, obliterating all in its path, imbued with an overwhelming killing intent. It was a mere blink away from striking Ye Chen. Facing this chilling sword intent, Ye Chen remained unperturbed. Gripping the Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword, a majestic power emanated from him. High above, two blood moons began to slowly materialize. “It’s that technique!” Witnessing the gradual appearance of the blood moons, Jun Mo’s eyes lit up with excitement. This was the technique, possessing such destructive potential, that if Ye Chen could successfully execute, might indeed turn the tide of the battle.
As the twin blood moons ascended into the heavens, their immense, divine might swept across the landscape, seemingly capable of suppressing all existence. Awe filled the onlookers, none daring to gaze directly at the celestial spectacle. Jun Mo’s excitement grew, but in the very next moment, a troubling observation struck him – Feng Yusi’s sword had already thrust forward, and Ye Chen, under these circumstances, could not possibly complete his own technique in time to avoid being struck down! “Ye Chen, what are you doing!” Jun Mo couldn’t help but exclaim, his expression turning grave as he stared intently at Ye Chen’s back, a torrent of questions swirling in his mind.
Concurrently, Yang Tiangyang watched Ye Chen with a mocking grin, his earlier anxieties vanishing. He was now certain Ye Chen could not possibly evade Feng Yusi’s sword light in time. “Ha, even with someone aiding you, so what?” Yang Tiangyang’s lips curled into a sneer. At this moment, nearly everyone present grasped a singular, perplexing fact: why was Ye Chen not defending himself? Why did he choose to gather his power for an attack under such dire circumstances, knowing full well he could be struck down by Feng Yusi before completing it? Among them, Lv Tianlu observed Ye Chen, his eyes gleaming with a dawning realization – Ye Chen could not possibly be unaware of the danger. Therefore, Ye Chen must have a deeper reason for his audacious actions.
“It’s all over.” Just then, the chilling sword light was upon him, hovering before Ye Chen. Feng Yusi inwardly sighed, having hoped for a spectacular clash, but it seemed it would not materialize. In this critical instant, as all believed Ye Chen’s demise was inevitable, just as the sword was poised to pierce his skull, a surge of sacred energy erupted, and an immense, unparalleled shield materialized from thin air.
This colossal shield seemed to be the most unyielding entity in existence, with countless Divine Might’s Dragon Patterns swirling across its surface. It appeared as the guardian of all heavens and myriad worlds, symbolizing the faith of endless life, emitting an incredibly majestic, righteous holy light that securely protected Ye Chen.
"Buzz!"
Feng Yusi’s invincible sword light struck the massive shield, yet it couldn’t inflict the slightest damage. The magnificent Dragon Patterns on the shield continued to ripple without cessation.
Upon witnessing this, everyone present, including Yang Tiangyang, stared with wide, disbelieving eyes.
This glorious holy giant shield possessed terrifying power, completely impervious to Feng Yusi’s strongest sword strike, remaining utterly unscratched.
At that moment, Yang Tiangyang peered intently at the shield, beginning to grasp that it was immune to all attacks from the Heavenly Repairing Realm. Unless one’s power surpassed Heavenly Repair, the shield would remain unharmed!
"Damn it, how does this kid possess so many hidden strengths!"
"Could it be an inheritance from the Six Paths Sect’s Grandmaster?"
Yang Tiangyang’s expression turned grim as he fixed his gaze upon Ye Chen.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen gazed at the Holy Shield, fully aware it was Han Wenxin’s magical artifact, the Ten Thousand Pattern Holy Shield. It boasted unparalleled defensive capabilities but lacked any offensive power, solely designed for spellcasting related to escape and defense, and for blocking others' assaults.
This perfectly aligned with Han Wenxin’s character, his detachment from Karma, granting the shield its impregnable defense.
At this instant, Han Wenxin’s faint voice echoed.
"Kid, it’s up to you now."
It was evident that blocking Feng Yusi’s onslaught and empowering Ye Chen had drained Han Wenxin considerably. After speaking, he vanished once more.
Ye Chen’s eyes gleamed with a frigid light, his lips curving slightly. "Don’t worry, Senior Han; I won’t let you down!"
"Blood Moon Slaughter Sky Slash!"
Ye Chen bellowed furiously. The two blood moons hanging in the sky erupted with boundless Divine Might, cascading torrents of blood-colored light that enveloped Ye Chen, elevating him to the status of a supreme, unrivaled god of the blood moon!
As this happened, the Ten Thousand Pattern Holy Shield disappeared. Ye Chen now wielded the Dust-falling Dragon Subduing Sword, with the endless blood light coalescing onto the sword's edge. It emanated a terrifying aura of destruction, capable of vanquishing the universe, and he launched it furiously towards Feng Yusi.
"How is this possible!"
Witnessing Ye Chen’s attack, Feng Yusi’s countenance shifted dramatically. The power of this strike surpassed even her own most potent assault from earlier. How could Ye Chen, a mere martial artist of the Heavenly God Realm, unleash such fearsome might?
At that moment, the majestic blood moon sword light churned the heavens, cleaving through the sunlight, appearing to contain boundless hell itself. It descended instantaneously before Feng Yusi.
"No, I am doomed!"
Perceiving the immense Divine Might of the blood moon sword light, Feng Yusi felt an icy dread grip her heart. She bit her tongue, jolting herself out of her fear.
"Divine Phoenix Heavenly Feather, sacrifice!"
Feng Yusi cried out in agony. Behind her, a resplendent phoenix feather, crimson as fire and radiating infinite majesty, was sacrificed.
Boundless Phoenix Holy Fire surged forth, enveloping Feng Yusi and transforming into a grand and vast fiery barrier.
In that split second, the blood moon sword light arrived, colliding violently with the fiery barrier. The void itself began to collapse, the Ten Thousand Realms plunged into chaos, and destructive ripples surged between the barrier and the sword light.
These ripples, carrying an unparalleled impact, exploded outwards in an instant, sweeping across all directions.
"Bang!"
The fiery barrier shattered instantaneously. The dimmed blood moon sword light descended upon Feng Yusi, causing her to cough up blood and be flung backward in the next moment, her robes instantly torn.
"Cough..."
Feng Yusi crashed onto the arena, creating a massive crater. Lying there bloodied, her eyes held sheer shock as she watched Ye Chen advance step by step.
"You have been defeated."
Despite appearing pale, Ye Chen exuded an aura of invincibility. He stood above the crater, gazing coldly at Feng Yusi, his voice calm as he spoke.
