Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2044 - 2140: Far from Enough

"Quite ruthless, willing to go all out to survive, but unfortunately, there’s an essential difference in strength." Su Chen murmured to himself. In the last moment, Di Qu’s madness and desperation to stay alive were actually quite admirable to Su Chen.

Of course, this didn’t change Di Qu’s inevitable death.

It was at this moment.

With Di Qu’s struggles and madness, he was still slashed to death by one sword from Su Chen.

Adding to the two consecutive moves between Su Chen and Di Que, it seemed that Su Chen had a slight upper hand, causing the remaining nine elders and deacons of the Imperial Family at the first, second, and third levels of the Human Lord Realm to tremble and twitch in fear.

All of them were so terrified they couldn’t breathe.

They were all scared.

Terrified to the core.

They had seen the end of death!

Except for Di Que, this supreme elder.

They had to realize that none of them were stronger than Di Qu, and Di Qu was killed instantly by Su Chen.

Instinctively.

The nine Imperial Family members started to retreat, even thinking of using their movement technique to escape.

But Di Que spoke up: "Act together!!! There’s still a way to live, otherwise, we’ll all die. Even if you escape, how far can you run?"

Indeed!

Even if the remaining nine Imperial Family members ran, it wouldn’t be of much use!

Their strength couldn’t match that of Di Que, and even with the Wind Absorbing Pearls, during the raging and roaring of the Primeval River Storm, they couldn’t escape fast enough.

Su Chen could easily deal with Di Que and then catch up with them to kill them one by one.

"There’s no retreat! Either kill him or we die!!!" Di Que shouted again, and as he roared, the gravity in his eyes reached its peak.

He had no confidence in facing Su Chen alone.

Despite his reluctance to believe it, he had a gut feeling that from Su Chen’s first sword to the subsequent two swords—a total of three moves—none were Su Chen’s trump card or his strongest power.

This was too terrifying.

Dragging the remaining nine people along, they might have a chance to survive; without them, they had no chance at all.

"Kill!"

"We have more people, what are we afraid of?"

"Go all out with him!"

"Damn it!!! Isn’t it just death? The Imperial Family fears no death!"

"And we have Di Que, the supreme elder!"

"Kill! We kill!"

...

Di Que successfully persuaded the remaining nine people.

Those nine, all elders and middle-aged men, averaged millions of years old, yet at this moment, each of them was pushed to the edge, glaring intensely at Su Chen, locking onto him. The weapons in their hands hummed with suppressed sound.

Around them, the Primeval River Storm increasingly turned into void.

The entire space took on an aura of chaos and nothingness.

Su Chen’s expression remained unchanged, still maintaining a faint smile, exuding strong self-confidence and a slightly cold indifference.

Although locked onto by the nine Imperial Family members, he didn’t even glance at them.

Completely ignoring them.

In Su Chen’s eyes, there was only Di Que.

"A blade is the Divine Mountain, a sword is the Vast Sea!!! Blade and sword unite! Divine Mountain and Vast Sea, kill for me!" At the next moment, Di Que was the first to act.

He didn’t hold back at all.

The sword previously strapped to his back was now in his hand.

One blade, one sword.

The blade, heavy and oppressive, massive and trembling, when unleashed, its momentum was as if the earth was roaring, giving a sense of the whole body’s blood, tibia, dantian, and internal organs resonating, shattering together.

The instant the blade was lifted, in front of the Sword Light, one could vaguely see the shadow trace of a Divine Mountain, presented in red, as if the Divine Mountain were about to bleed; the mountain was straight and rising, piercing the clouds and reaching the sky.

At the same time as the blade was raised, the sword moved too, carrying a surging, piercing, urgent, and eerie aura, like a tsunami tearing and roaring, like the sea god rolling in the heart of the ocean.

In front of the Sword Light, wave after wave of blue sea rhyme, one wave higher than the other, crazily sweeping, as if to annihilate everything before it.

And what was even more surprising.

When both the blade and sword moved, there was a harmonious, complementary aura between them.

Blade and sword resonated together.

Mountains and seas coexisted.

A remarkably stunning move.

Su Chen even sensed a hint of danger.

However, not only did Su Chen not fear or panic, but a hint of interest also appeared.

"Now that’s the spirit!" Su Chen blinked and inexplicably smiled.

And this expression, falling in Di Que’s eyes, gave him an inexplicable feeling like the Grim Reaper had suddenly arrived.

"Kill, all of you!!!" Di Que instinctively roared, his voice commanding the nine Imperial Family members positioned behind him, who had remained motionless until that moment.

It was only then that these nine Imperial Family members snapped to attention and reacted.

"Invincible Emperor’s Sword, slay them for me!"

"Unmatched Gravity, crush them for me!"

"Ahhhh... perish!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

While the strength of these nine Imperial Family members lagged considerably behind Di Que’s, they were nevertheless superior to the average Human Lord, possessing considerable power.

This was especially true as they unleashed their full might, exerting their absolute utmost effort.

Every single offensive maneuver – be it a punch, kick, palm strike, blade slash, sword cut, or spear thrust – was imbued with an overwhelming and unmatched killing intent and ferocity.

Despite this onslaught, Su Chen didn’t even spare them a glance, appearing entirely oblivious to their attacks.

His entire focus was riveted on Di Que.

To be more precise, his attention was solely fixed on the combined blade and sword technique that Di Que was currently executing.

Not bad indeed.

Truly quite impressive.

"However, for me, it is still but one sword!" He then uttered to himself, unleashing a strike without the slightest warning, still employing just a single sword, eschewing any other complex techniques.

Naturally, it was but one sword.

The reason?

The preceding three swords he had wielded were identical in their execution, each empowered by one hundred eighty trillion units of Dragon’s Force combined with the Seven Stages Sword Rhyme. Each of these strikes was a supreme sword attack, capable of effortlessly and decisively dispatching a martial cultivator at the apex of the fifth level of the Human Lord Realm.

But was this the pinnacle of Su Chen’s swordsmanship?

No.

Far from it.

He had not yet integrated the power of the Nine Great Dao Rules.

The reason for its omission was that the combination of one hundred eighty trillion units of Dragon’s Force and the Seven Stages Sword Rhyme was already terrifyingly potent, sufficiently invincible. The Seven Stages Sword Rhyme alone was enough to instill utter despair; thus, he intentionally refrained from adding further elements, not due to inability. He absolutely could have.

Furthermore, he possessed the capacity to incorporate the Three Great Cosmic Treasures into a single sword strike, augmenting its power exponentially. The previous three sword strikes had also omitted these, simply because their inclusion was deemed unnecessary.

In essence, up until this point, Su Chen had been meticulously gauging the true potency of the Seven Stages Sword Rhyme, deliberately holding back from integrating numerous potent elements.

But at this critical juncture.

Confronting Di Que’s full-power, two-hundred percent effort, and facing the formidable Mountain and Sea Resonance technique, Su Chen incorporated the Nine Great Dao Rules. Even then, deeming it insufficient, he added the Chaotic Divine Thunder, yet he still refrained from unleashing the Divine Demon Ghost Fire and Chaotic Current.

After all, one shouldn’t go too far in bullying, right? Using a butcher’s cleaver to dispatch a chicken is more than sufficient; there’s no need to deploy a nuclear missile, is there?
