Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2047 - 2143: The Scent of Death (First Update)

"Who is it?!" Amidst overwhelming rage and venomous fury, Di Jie suddenly bellowed into the sky.

Of the remaining twenty to thirty Di Family members, Di Jie, possessing the keenest senses and strongest cultivation, was the first to detect Su Chen's presence, though he couldn't be certain it was him.

Following Di Jie's outburst, Di Kuang, the most powerful among the Supreme Elders, also discerned Su Chen's proximity.

Subsequently, the entirety of the Di Family members faintly perceived Su Chen's location.

"Below!!!" Di Jie spat out these two words, his voice thick with solidified murderous intent: "That accursed brat who deserves to die a million times over!"

At this moment, Di Jie felt a surge of both exhilaration and disbelief, predominantly a venomous excitement.

Su Chen had actually delivered himself?

Come to them of his own accord?

He had been eager to tear Su Chen apart, never anticipating...

Excellent!

Excellent!!

"He emerged from the surface below. No wonder we failed to locate him all this time; he was actually navigating the deepest reaches of the Primeval River Storm," Di Kuang exclaimed, his voice laced with a mixture of amazement, astonishment, and shock.

That was the most perilous, the absolute bottom of the Primeval River Storm!

How could Su Chen possibly accomplish such a feat?

Within the entire Di Family, apart from himself, the Family Head Di Jie, the ancestral elder nearing the end of his lifespan, and Di Deijin, who had been temporarily crippled by the Soul-Locking Pill, no fifth individual possessed the ability to reach the very depths of the Mother River.

Yet, Su Chen... he had actually done it. Reflecting now, it became apparent that their inability to find Su Chen over the past month and a half was likely because he had remained at the lowest point of the river's initial stretch, a prospect that was utterly terrifying.

"Regardless of how peculiar or monstrous he may be, he must perish!" Di You declared, his voice as sinister as could be: "I am here, Elder Brother Di Ge is present, Elder Brother Di Kuang is here, as is the Family Head, along with Di Hong and the others... save for the ancestral elder and those already slain by him, all of the Di Family's peak powerhouses have convened. Even if he were possessed by a True God, his demise is inevitable."

Di You's declaration was saturated with unwavering confidence.

Indeed.

Di Ge, Di You, and Di Kuang were three Supreme Elders. Di Ge and Di You were both cultivators at the Sixth Layer of the Human Lord Realm, while Di Kuang resided in the Middle Stage of the Seventh Layer, and Di Jie stood at the Later Stage.

Furthermore, several other elders, including the First Elder Di Hong, were at the Peak Phase of the Fifth Level.

The remaining members were all within the Human Lord Realm, positioned above the Third Level, totaling four or five individuals.

This formidable force, combined, possessed the capability to eliminate even a Martial Cultivator at the Middle or Later Stage of the Eighth Layer.

It was simply inconceivable that with eighty percent of the Di Family's elite combat strength assembled, they could not hunt down a mere cultivator, not yet five hundred years old, from the Great Dao Realm!

"Everyone, dedicate one hundred and ten percent of your attention; this insignificant scoundrel is exceptionally strange. You must be aware of the sheer number of Di Family members who have met their end at his hands," Di Jie's voice was hoarse: "Forget all notions of honor, seniority, or kinship; my sole desire is his death!!! Whether through a coordinated siege or a covert ambush, it matters not! I only want him dead!"

The word "dead" uttered by Di Jie was so guttural it sent shivers down one's spine.

Moments later.

Before the astonished eyes of Di Jie, Di Kuang, Di You, Di Ge, Di Hong, and the others, Su Chen materialized!

Directly ahead, ascending from below, he advanced step by step through the tumultuous Primeval River Storm.

They could distinctly feel Su Chen's palpable killing intent.

A strange, monstrous killing intent.

However, even more peculiar and monstrous was Su Chen himself; despite emanating a terrifying aura of lethal intent, he remained remarkably composed—a serenity that was not feigned.

"Damn it!!!" Di Jie glared at Su Chen, his eyes turning bloodshot as he instantly recognized the ninety-nine swords arrayed behind Su Chen; they were Imperial Soldiers, treasures plundered from the Emperor's Treasure Abyss, swords amassed over billions of years by the Di Family!

Most notably, the sword positioned at the very center of the ninety-nine, emanating a cold, refined, sharp, and silent aura, struck Di Jie with a heart-pounding sense of peril; he possessed an intuition that this particular sword was immensely powerful, supremely strong.

"Give me..." Di Jie was on the verge of losing all control, fixated on Su Chen as if confronting his mortal nemesis, his voice hoarse, ready to unleash the command to "kill him."

However.

He had not even uttered the word "kill" from the phrase "kill him."

Suddenly.

The very heavens and earth seemed to transform.

The Azure Sword Array unleashed its might in an instant, bringing forth slaughter across the realm.

With ultimate speed, killing intent, formation, sword momentum, strangeness, and ferocity unleashed, the ninety-nine Imperial Soldier swords struck with their peak sharpness.

What was even more terrifying was the coordinated 'backbone' that directed them!

The ninety-nine Imperial Soldier swords moving as one was already a terrifying, near-hopeless miracle, especially since these blades acted as a unified force, led by a singular general.

It was utterly dreadful.

As the sword array commenced its assault, even the massive, turbulent river in the Mother River's initial stretch experienced a momentary standstill.

Furthermore, if one could observe from high above the entire Mother River, a mystical, sword-shaped silhouette would be visible within its front section—a colossal shadow, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, obscuring the very sky.

"Retreat!!!!!!!" In an instant, Di Jie's roar tore through the heavens, echoing into the Mother River. His voice, solidifying into an entity, was imbued with extreme terror, a profound despair of impending death, and a heart-crushing disbelief.

Di Jie's complexion instantly turned ashen, akin to moonlight.

Concurrently with his desperate shout, a solidified, blood-red, perfectly formed Mysterious Qi Protective Shield materialized around him, enacted with his utmost strength and without any reservation.

Di Jie could sense the chilling embrace of death.

Indeed, he tasted death itself.

Without uttering another word, Su Chen initiated his attack with the sword array. From the very beginning, the bloodshed commenced, and the sword array had already been forming behind him, gathering immense momentum on its ascent from the ground.

This left Di Jie and the others with absolutely no chance to prepare!

Under such circumstances, despite Di Jie and his cohorts possessing formidable strength and potent collective combat power, they lacked the crucial time to mount a unified defense, nor did Di Jie himself have the opportunity to utilize his ultimate techniques or hidden trump cards against Su Chen.

Di Jie found himself in this predicament, as did Di Kuang, Di You, Di Ge, and Di Hong.

The remaining Di Family members, their faces drained of color, scrambled backward in a frantic retreat. Their movement techniques were pushed to their limits, their Mysterious Qi Protective Shields were reinforced to the maximum, and all manner of defensive artifacts were desperately summoned.

In the blink of an eye.

The ninety-nine Imperial Soldier swords had already closed in on Di Jie and his group.

Di Jie and the others lacked both the speed and the time required to escape.

The ninety-nine Imperial Soldier swords descended like the Grim Reaper, claiming lives.

It was a soul-snatching, lethal strike.

Impossibly swift and ferociously deadly.

The sword light went unseen; only the ensuing bloodshed remained.

The attributes of 'Kill', 'Speed', 'Cold', and 'Strange' from the "Strange Change Formation" were displayed in their full, terrifying glory.

Particularly the Zhan Cang Sword, which seemed to be the Sword of Divine Punishment wielded by a True God, exuding supreme power.

The Zhan Cang Sword surged forth, annihilating any Di Family members in its path, regardless of their cultivation level—whether they were in the First, Second, Third, or Fourth Level of the Human Lord Realm—all were reduced to ashes upon contact. The Zhan Cang Sword’s sharpness was unparalleled, its power as a Spirit Imperial Weapon was incredibly astonishing, especially when bolstered by the supportive might of the other ninety-eight Cloud Imperial Weapons.
