Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2042 - 2138: Beyond Question (Part 2)

"You insignificant brat, perish!!!" Upon witnessing Su Chen’s arrival, the first to retaliate was not Di Que or anyone else, but Di Qu. His disciple had met a grim end by Su Chen’s hand, igniting a hatred that consumed Di Qu to his core.

In that instant, driven by a near-maddened fury, he launched his attack.

Despite his berserk state, Di Qu harbored no underestimation for Su Chen, treating him with absolute seriousness instead. The sword he wielded, a meter and a half in length, unadorned yet imposing, cast entirely in silver and as fine as parchment, began its deadly dance.

It was an Imperial Weapon, the Cloud Imperial Weapon. This blade possessed remarkable qualities. At the very least, its sharpness was beyond terrifying. The instant it moved, a blinding, thread-like Sword Scar materialized in the Storm Space before Di Qu.

This Scar sliced through all obstacles, disregarding the raging storm, and zeroed in on Su Chen.

Subsequently, Di Qu unleashed three successive sword strikes. These three movements arrived with the ferocity of a flash flood, each subsequent strike surpassing the last in sheer power.

The swordsmanship maintained a cohesive aura, building momentum in escalating waves.

Upon their release, the trio of swords tore through the heavens and split the void, imbued with ultimate killing intent. They erupted in dazzling, silvery-red light, seemingly freezing space itself as they hurtled towards Su Chen.

Every aspect—speed, power, sharpness, intent, Sword Intent, and peculiar trajectory—was of the supreme caliber, executed with unparalleled skill. It was a truly dominant display of swordsmanship.

The might contained within this assault undeniably reached the Fourth Level of the Human Lord Realm. Su Chen’s own estimation placed this strike as even more potent than Di Heng’s ultimate move when unleashed with full force.

However, for the current Su Chen…

It was less than child’s play.

"Since you are so eager for death, I shall grant it to you first," Su Chen declared with utter indifference. His initial intention was to deal with Di Que first, but as Di Qu was rushing towards his demise, Su Chen saw no reason not to send him to the underworld immediately.

Su Chen’s visage remained unchanged; he didn’t even deign to glance at Di Qu’s three streaks of Sword Light. With effortless grace, as if toying with a mere plaything…

Su Chen’s mind stirred. His wrist flicked.

The Ancient Dust Sword swept out with casual abandon.

"Not good!!!" The moment Su Chen unleashed his sword, Di Qu and the other Imperial Family members felt nothing amiss. However, Di Que, the young Grand Elder, his expression drastically shifted, and he cried out this warning.

Seven Stages Sword Rhyme? How could it be the Seven Stages Sword Rhyme?

Di Que was utterly dumbfounded. The Di Family traced their lineage to the Grand Cosmos World, and as an elder, Di Que possessed extensive knowledge of its intricacies. To his understanding, within the entirety of the Grand Cosmos World, precious few prodigies had managed to comprehend the Seven Stages Sword Rhyme.

Such exceptional talents rarely manifested, even within the Ninth Rank Powers that had endured for untold millennia. Yet, here he was, witnessing it in a youth from a Minor Thousand Worlds, a mere youngster under five hundred years old, who had attained the Great Dao Realm.

It was simply too astonishing!

The shock was profound, beyond words or imagination. Di Que immediately discerned that Su Chen’s counter-sword strike completely annihilated Di Qu’s preceding trio of Sword Lights; they were on entirely different planes of existence.

Di Que knew he had no choice but to intervene. Failure to do so would mean Di Qu’s certain demise.

"Break for me!" Di Que bellowed, his face etched with intense seriousness. The saber hanging from the Sword Intention Saber behind him was drawn into his hand. The blade emerged, sheathed in scarlet ichor, engulfing the Primeval River in a blinding, bloody mist that carried an overpowering stench, reminiscent of a downpour of blood, hinting at the countless martial cultivators who had met their end by this weapon.

This saber, naturally, was also an Imperial Weapon, albeit merely a Cloud Imperial Weapon.

Di Que employed no particular Sword Technique. With simple, unadorned force, he cleaved out with his Heavy Saber.

Boom!!!

The resultant Sword Light was immense, thick, and dazzling, exuding an oppressive aura. As the Sword Momentum erupted, the surrounding, confined space of the sealed Primeval River Storm began to tremble and groan.

Behind Di Que, the other Imperial Family members, including Di Qu himself, involuntarily retreated. The strike was akin to a Divine Mountain descending from the Divine Realm, crashing down with crushing force.

The overwhelming suppressive aura, radiating from the very soul, was so potent it felt capable of shattering an entire Plane with sheer Qi alone. Even more terrifyingly, upon closer examination, the frozen Primeval River Storm within this small pocket of space had completely dissolved into the void.

And at the very instant Di Que executed his cleaving strike…

Su Chen’s sword, empowered by one hundred and eighty trillion Dragon’s Force and imbued with the Seven Stages Sword Rhyme, sliced through Di Qu’s prior three Sword Lights as effortlessly as scissors cutting through silk, obliterating them without resistance. It was a display of ease so profound it was chilling.

Di Qu, on the verge of collapse from shock, nearly fainted.

Under the collective gaze of all present, Su Chen’s Sword Light continued its relentless advance, showing no signs of abating. Its speed remained extreme, its chilling restraint unwavering, and its target remained fixed on Di Qu.

Di Qu could already feel the icy tendrils of death approaching.

Tremors ran through his legs; he had already glimpsed the abyss of hell. Frozen in place, he struggled to draw breath. In the blink of an eye, just as Di Qu's foot hovered over the threshold of the coffin, a thunderous boom erupted!

Di Que's sword ultimately intercepted Su Chen's sword light, which was already upon Di Qu, halting its advance.

Time itself seemed to cease; even thoughts were suspended.

At the critical moment of impact, all ten Di family members standing behind Di Que, including Di Qu himself, were flung backward or sent reeling, their faces ashen, lips stained with blood. The sheer force of the collision was akin to a nuclear detonation, carving a void into the vastness of the Primeval River.

A terrifying aura washed over the surroundings, striking the sealed space and shattering it into oblivion. The clash of the two devastating moves resulted in a stalemate, yet, unquestionably, Su Chen held the substantial advantage. After all, Su Chen's initiated strike had already annihilated Di Qu's sword flashes before even meeting Di Que's own attack.

A grimace contorted Di Que's features, revealing his stark disbelief at this turn of events. Su Chen's growth over the past month and a half was truly beyond measure. The power he had amassed was an overwhelming, tenfold increase!!! Was this the same Su Chen who had been defeated by Di Heng in a single move?

Di Que had not known true fear for countless years, perhaps his entire life, until this very moment. His heart plummeted, as if plunged into an abyssal, frozen chasm. He fixed his gaze upon Su Chen, his eyes wide with dread, daring not to even blink. Every fiber of his being prickled with apprehension.

"Youngster Su, the seal is weakening; your combat aura is too potent for this enclosed space to contain," the voice of the Iceflame Vermilion Bird echoed in Su Chen's mind. "Shall we withdraw for now?" Should the sealed space rupture, other members of the Imperial Family, alerted by the message and led by figures like Di Jie, would drastically reduce the time needed to locate them. Su Chen could soon find himself surrounded.

"If it cannot hold, then it cannot hold! No matter how many arrive, I shall slay them all!" Su Chen retorted, his bared teeth radiating sheer murderous intent.

He then cast a glance at Di Que, a sudden, chilling laugh escaping him. "I declared I would eliminate him first, and so I shall. None can prevent it!!!" The overbearing declaration reverberated outwards.

As his words faded, with a swift *swish*, Su Chen raised his sword once more. With another *swish*, he struck again. What added to the despair was that this time, Su Chen unleashed two consecutive sword strikes.

Di Que felt on the verge of collapse. These two attacks from Su Chen appeared identical to his previous one. Could such a powerful ultimate technique be employed so effortlessly by Su Chen? Had he casually executed three such strikes? Di Que's mind reeled, filled with a deafening buzz.

And this time, Su Chen's dual blades were critical. One sword was aimed squarely at him, Di Que. The other sword was locked onto Di Qu. Di Que felt confident he could parry the blow directed at him, but that would be the extent of his capability. As for the sword trajectory towards Di Qu, he was utterly powerless to intervene! Therefore, Su Chen's two swift strikes were directly intended to end Di Qu's life!!! And Di Que could do nothing to stop it.

He could only stand by and witness Di Qu's demise. 'I declared I would eliminate him first, and so I shall. None can prevent it.' Su Chen's voice seemed etched into Di Que's very being—so arrogant, so confident, so commanding, so reckless, so irrefutable. It plunged Di Que into utter despair, a chilling dread seizing his soul.
