The Divine Urban Physician Chapter 6
Previously on The Divine Urban Physician...
Inside the banquet hall.
Elder Ming advanced a few paces before halting in front of Ye Chen. With narrowed eyes and hands clasped behind his back, he projected the arrogant aura of a seasoned expert.
“Boy, do not allow yourself to become conceited simply because you have mastered a few techniques. In my perspective, you are as trivial as an ant.”
Chen Feng was consumed with joy at the sight of Elder Ming stepping in to take charge!
He was certain that this time, Ye Chen’s death was guaranteed!
To be foolish enough to provoke Elder Ming meant facing a fatal end!
“Elder Ming, I demand that this brat pays with his right arm!” Chen Feng bellowed.
Nodding, Elder Ming spoke again in his gravelly voice. “We of the Chen family require an arm from you. Do you have any final words?”
Ye Chen remained unimpressed. He responded with a freezing tone, “How tiresome! Utter one more bit of nonsense and I will ensure you are a cripple for the remainder of your life!”
His declaration echoed throughout the hall, reaching every ear. In that moment of stunned silence, many in the crowd could not help but gasp, covering their mouths in sheer disbelief.
Sighing, Elder Ming shook his head. “What an arrogant youth.”
As the final word left his lips, he vanished instantly! A violent gale suddenly began to whip through the banquet hall!
In the blink of an eye, he materialized directly before Ye Chen!
He swung his palm toward Ye Chen, the strike cutting through the air with a whistling wind as it targeted the youth’s right arm!
“Today, I shall show you the true meaning of being a frog in the well!”
Ye Chen immediately activated the Nine Heavens Dark Sun Technique. Energy surged into his Dantian as torrents of True Qi flooded into his limbs. To any keen observer, Ye Chen’s palms seemed to shimmer with a faint light at that precise moment!
“Get lost!”
With his palm extended, Ye Chen lunged forward and collided with Elder Ming.
Upon impact, the surrounding glass tables shattered into fragments! A powerful shockwave blasted outward in every direction.
Bang!
The outcome was entirely unexpected.
Elder Ming was sent flying back by the force of the collision!
A spray of fresh blood was seen arching across the room.
Elder Ming had been knocked out in a single blow.
The silence in the hall was so profound that a falling needle would have sounded like a thunderclap.
Every gaze was fixed intently on Ye Chen.
Standing beside him, Sun Yi pressed her hands against her mouth. Her eyes were wide with shock, her features twisted in total disbelief.
Nearby, Chen Zhengguo and Chen Feng stood frozen, paralyzed where they stood.
The supposedly invincible Elder Ming had been crushed! Furthermore, his defeat came at the hands of a mere young man!
How could this happen?
How was such a thing possible?
However, among everyone present, the one most shocked by the exchange was Elder Ming himself! No one could truly grasp the magnitude of the turmoil raging within his soul!
Forcing his head up, Elder Ming managed to choke out a question. “Who are you?! How can your Cultivation be so...”
“Who am I?” Ye Chen looked down with disdain at the elderly man sprawled on the floor. In that instant, his entire aura shifted. He radiated the overwhelming intensity of an unbeatable conqueror, staring down at his prey.
“I am someone you cannot afford to f*ck with!”
Ye Chen’s voice boomed through the banquet hall like a clap of thunder in a storm.
Upon hearing this reply, Elder Ming coughed up a mouthful of blood and lost consciousness immediately.
Ye Chen then shifted his attention back to the father and son of the Chen family.
“Chen Zhengguo, do you have anything else to say?”
At those words, Chen Zhengguo’s complexion turned deathly pale. Ignoring all else, he delivered a brutal kick to Chen Feng’s leg!
Thump!
Chen Feng was forced onto his knees!
“Sir, it is my failing for not disciplining my son correctly! This worthless piece of garbage is yours to deal with as you see fit!”
Seeing his father abandon him so easily, Chen Feng finally understood the gravity of the situation. He desperately pleaded with Ye Chen, “I... I truly had no idea Miss Sun was your woman... I apologize! I am truly sorry!”
Ye Chen pulled a chair over and sat down, a cold smile playing on his lips as he watched Chen Feng. “What makes you think a mere apology is enough?”
Chen Feng’s heart plummeted. Realizing what he had to do, he scrambled to kneel before Sun Yi. He begged, “Miss Sun... I’m... I’m so sorry... I was wrong to be so arrogant... I never should have spoken to you that way, I... I am a b*tch. My whole family is nothing but b*tches...”
While he apologized, Chen Feng began to violently slap his own face. Born into a high-ranking family, he was an expert at adapting to survive. With Elder Ming defeated, the Chen family had lost their backbone! His only goal now was to stay alive in the presence of this monster!
Sun Yi remained in a state of shock. Watching the man who was once so haughty now kneeling at her feet, she was momentarily speechless.
After a long minute, she finally found her voice. “You... just leave,” she said, her voice shaking.
Chen Feng’s eyes lit up. He stole a glance at Ye Chen and, seeing no objection, scrambled to his feet. He hurried toward Chen Zhengguo, whispering, “Dad, let’s go. We need to get to the police station immediately. We’ll make this brat pay...”
Chen Zhengguo nodded in agreement. He didn’t want to remain there for another second; his back was soaked through with cold sweat.
Just as they turned to flee, a cold, slow voice drifted from behind them.
“Chen Zhengguo, did I give you permission to depart?”
...
Chen Zhengguo’s steps faltered, and his entire frame stiffened. Confused, he turned back slowly to look at the youth sitting nearby. “Me? I don’t believe I have offended...”
“On your knees!”
Ye Chen roared the command.
Had Sun Yi not been present, Ye Chen would have allowed his murderous intent to completely saturate the room!
Though today’s matter might be settled, the events of five years ago were far from over!
Chen Zhengguo felt an immense pressure slam down on him, as if he were carrying the weight of a massive mountain on his shoulders!
Thump!
Chen Zhengguo collapsed onto his knees!
At that sight, the expressions of everyone in the room shifted again.
The previous combat had ended too fast for them to fully process, other than realizing Ye Chen was a formidable fighter.
But what did martial skill matter? This was a society of laws! No matter how well he fought, he couldn't outrun bullets!
...
However, seeing Chen Zhengguo on his knees changed everything!
While perhaps not the absolute strongest in River City, the Chen family held immense power and influence!
The patriarch of such a prominent family was kneeling before a man barely twenty years old?
If such news were told, no one would believe it!
The collective thought in the room was that a massive upheaval was coming to River City!
A total and absolute transformation!
Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, Ye Chen stood and walked toward Chen Zhengguo with measured steps.
His footsteps were quiet, yet to Chen Zhengguo, it sounded like the approach of the God of Death!
Ye Chen stopped and looked down at Chen Zhengguo, much like a god observing an insect.
He opened his mouth to speak, but before a word could be uttered, the main doors were slammed open with a deafening crash!
A dozen armed officers flooded into the banquet hall!
“Don’t move!”
At the sight of the uniforms, Chen Zhengguo let out an involuntary sigh of relief. He was safe.
Even though ancient martial artists existed in Huaxia, they were always kept in check regardless of their power.
Because of this, instances of martial artists harming civilians had become rare over the years.
Ye Chen surveyed his surroundings with eyes that remained calm and unshaken. His old master had taught him about Huaxia’s structure, and he knew that cultivators were under state control. Nevertheless, Ye Chen was determined to have his vengeance today, no matter the cost!
“You! The one standing! I am ordering you to kneel and put your hands behind your head! If you resist, I am authorized to use lethal force! This is your only warning!”
