Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2043 - 2139: Simply Ridiculous (First Update)

At the same critical juncture.

"Quick! Accelerate! Towards the northwest! Di Ge, your team is the nearest, pick up the pace and get there as swiftly as possible!" While propelling Su Chen at maximum speed towards the northwest, Di Jie dispatched urgent messages to the other members of the Di Family.

The violent clash between Su Chen and Di Que had fractured the spatial seal, and the aura of battle was already intense. Even from a distance, Di Jie could vaguely discern their location.

However, precisely because of the distance, he understood that it would take him at least the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to arrive, which was remarkably fast. In the maelstrom of the Primeval River Storm, such speed was practically defying the heavens.

Yet, the duration of an incense stick burning was more than ample for the confrontation between Su Chen and Di Que's contingent of eleven. If Di Que's group faltered, Su Chen could potentially have eliminated all eleven and departed within that timeframe.

Anxious, Di Jie felt compelled to instruct Di Ge.

Di Ge held the esteemed position of one of the Supreme Elders, surpassing Di Que in strength. Among the seven Supreme Elders, Di Ge ranked second. Although Di Que had challenged and coveted his position over the past hundreds of thousands of years, Di Ge had maintained his superior standing to this day.

With Di Ge leading the eleven Di Family members, combined with Di Que's group of eleven, a formidable force of twenty-two individuals would significantly increase the likelihood of annihilating Su Chen.

Furthermore, Di Jie detected that Di Ge and his team required approximately a hundred breaths, at most, to reach Di Que's location.

"Yes, Patriarch!" Di Ge and his eleven companions surged towards the northwest with haste. Di Ge himself wore a grim expression, exerting his speed to its absolute limit, continuously shattering the Primeval River Storm ahead to lessen the resistance for the Di Family members trailing behind him.

And precisely as the other members of the Di Family were rushing frantically...

Boom...

One of the two swords that Su Chen suddenly unleashed collided once more with Di Que's saber.

The sheer force was palpable; the already ruptured space was completely torn asunder, and the surrounding black holes, manifestations of the Primeval River Storm, expanded to hundreds of meters in diameter once again.

The purest Sword Intent and Sword Intent seemed imbued with life, coalescing into tangible forms. They clashed, clashed, and clashed, generating a spectacle of astonishing visual intensity.

Nevertheless, the outcome remained largely unaltered.

It was a near draw.

Why 'near'? Because in this exchange, Su Chen's Sword Light held a subtle advantage. Di Que visibly staggered backward, a faint trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Naturally, these details were not paramount, nor were they Su Chen's primary concern.

Su Chen's focus was fixated on the other sword from the pair he launched simultaneously – the one aimed directly at Second Elder Di Qu!!!

Di Qu, only moments before rescued by Di Que, was still reeling from shock. Astonishingly, before he could even draw a full breath, Su Chen unleashed another lethal strike.

He felt as if he were stepping directly into a coffin, his fate seemingly sealed.

"Ah..."

With a visage contorted in agony, he bellowed in desperation, employing every available tactic in this desperate, life-or-death struggle, disregarding all consequences.

This included the Nine Explosions Pill, a potent elixir that drastically boosts one's strength at the severe cost of damaging one's martial foundation.

Such elixirs are exclusively reserved for dire, life-threatening circumstances.

Di Qu had procured it from ancient ruins long ago and, over countless millennia, had never found a reason to consume it, nor had he ever envisioned doing so.

Yet, he resorted to it now.

Furthermore, he vehemently spat out three generous mouthfuls of Essence Blood, drenching the longsword in his grasp, nearly imbuing it with a soul and amplifying its ferocity tenfold. Its might was so terrifying that a mere glance could potentially harm one's soul.

This was another perilous technique, draining nearly half of Di Qu's martial essence with the three mouthfuls of Essence Blood.

In an even more frenzied act, Di Qu directly incinerated his own lifespan—a quantifiable resource, particularly for a Martial Cultivator who has attained the Human Lord level. While not immortal, they typically possess lifespans extending to around thirty million years.

Di Qu, already nearing twenty million years of age, representing over ten million years of remaining life, burned through eight million years in a single instant. He was truly a madman among madmen.

As these eight million years of lifespan were consumed, Di Qu visibly aged drastically, and the Death Energy enveloping him surged exponentially.

Three audacious, life-annihilating methods, all deployed concurrently, underscored Di Qu's profound despair.

Only he could comprehend that bone-chilling despair upon being targeted by Su Chen's Sword Light.

It was precisely this overwhelming dread that compelled him to pay such an exorbitant price.

His sole objective was survival.

And as Di Qu enacted these three life-sacrificing measures.

Di Qu's body trembled violently, emitting intermittent, mournful, and piercingly harsh bursts.

His aura swelled by nearly ten times in an instant!!!

Di Qu originally possessed the strength of only the third level of the Human Lord Realm, but at this moment, he surged to the strength of the later stage, or even the Peak Phase, of the Fifth Level of the Human Lord Realm.

And this immense power was concentrated into a single sword strike.

Swish...

This sword represented the pinnacle of Di Qu’s abilities. It nearly contained all the sword moves and martial skills he had cultivated throughout his life, serving as the ultimate culmination of his martial arts. He had rarely employed it before due to its excessive power and, more significantly, the immense expenditure it demanded.

Indeed, after unleashing this strike, the already rapidly aging and severely injured Di Qu was close to collapsing.

Di Qu’s sword flashed an exceedingly glaring, silvery white hue, a light that seemed capable of ripping apart one’s mind. It was delicate, thin, and advanced with unparalleled speed and unmatched fearlessness.

In mere moments.

Su Chen's sword and Di Qu’s sword met.

Di Qu’s eyes widened ferociously, clinging to a sliver of hope for a miracle?

Yet.

The instant their blades clashed, before even a ten-thousandth of a breath could pass...

Di Qu fell into despair. He clearly witnessed that despite expending so much Vitality, burning his Essence Blood, lifespan, and more, in a strike with absolutely no regrets and a do-or-die resolve...

It... it... it was still shattered like mere paper.

Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.

Completely torn apart and broken with effortless ease by Su Chen’s sword!

"Hahahahaha..." Di Qu’s laughter erupted, filled with profound regret, self-mockery, unwillingness, and utter despair...

In the final moments of his life, Di Qu's last thought was: Patriarch! Perhaps the mighty force of the Di Family truly will be annihilated by a single person, annihilated by this young man!

In the blink of an eye.

Di Qu’s laughter abruptly ceased. He disintegrated into Shattered Void. His Divine Soul and Physical Body alike turned into Shattered Void simultaneously.
