Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2073 - 2170: Too Late (Third Update)

Observing Su Chen and Di Deijin standing motionless with their expressions unchanged, Yu Zhang's eyes narrowed slightly.

He then retracted his imposing aura.

It was somewhat unexpected.

In his estimation, even if Su Chen possessed the power to instantly defeat a Second Level Divine Lord Realm cultivator, he should have at least trembled or turned pale when faced with his unrestrained aura, let alone retreat or erect a protective barrier, especially while needing to protect the completely vulnerable Di Deijin beside him?

He had not anticipated this turn of events.

Just as Yu Zhang was about to speak...

"Great Elder..." the sinister and cold young man standing beside Yu Zhang, a cultivator at the Third Level of the Divine Lord Realm, spoke again.

This young man's name was Yu Wu.

Yu Wu was considered one of the exceptionally talented members of the younger generation within the Yu Family.

He possessed considerable arrogance.

It was precisely this arrogance that made him dislike Su Chen, as Su Chen appeared even more conceited than himself.

Yu Zhang nodded. Although his intuition suggested Su Chen was somewhat peculiar, and perhaps Yu Wu might not be able to defeat him, he equally didn't believe Su Chen could overcome Yu Wu.

Yu Wu was significantly superior to Xue Xue, multiple times stronger; the difference in a minor realm was substantial.

Furthermore, Yu Wu, situated at the Late Stage of the Third Level of the Divine Lord Realm, was more than sufficient to gauge Su Chen's true strength.

With a glint of concealed delight in his eyes, Yu Wu raised his head, fixing his gaze on Su Chen, his voice laced with even more iciness: "Make your move, let me see your capabilities. How dare you act so shamelessly?!"

"You are not my equal." Su Chen casually glanced at Yu Wu and stated.

As he spoke, Su Chen turned his attention to Yu Zhang: "If you intend to fight, I suggest you face me directly."

Arrogant.

Immeasurably arrogant.

The moment Su Chen uttered these words.

A collective gasp of shock rippled through the crowd.

"You court death!!!" Yu Wu was incensed. He had never been subjected to such blatant disdain! From someone originating from a Minor Thousand Worlds, not even in the Divine Lord Realm, like such an insignificant insect?

Yu Wu’s intention to kill became palpable.

An intensely ferocious killing intent emanated from him.

Hiss...

Yu Wu launched his attack without hesitation.

It was swift.

Exceedingly swift.

With his strike.

Aside from Yang Su, Yu Zhang, and a select few others, nearly no one else perceived the motion of his attack.

It was truly as fast as could be.

A sword.

Yet, it was so rapid that the sword's light barely registered a flicker.

This particular sword technique was known as the "Heaven-Pulling Sword."

It was a martial skill belonging to the Divine Lord Level.

One of the ancestral skills of the Yu Family.

This sword technique, executed in a single move.

And remarkably simple, merely involving drawing the sword.

However, this seemingly straightforward move, over the span of millions of years within the entire Yu Family, had been mastered to perfection by very few.

Yu Wu, blessed with prodigious swordsmanship talent from a young age.

He commenced practicing the "Heaven-Pulling Sword" at the age of thirteen. Now, ninety thousand years later, though not yet achieving absolute perfection, he had attained the Peak of Great Achievement.

Among the Yu Family's younger generation, his mastery of the "Heaven-Pulling Sword" was unparalleled.

The "Heaven-Pulling Sword" also represented Yu Wu's most potent technique.

This was not due to any particular regard for Su Chen, but rather his overwhelming fury; desiring immediate death, his preferred technique for dispatching foes was the "Heaven-Pulling Sword."

Moreover, instinctively, Yu Wu channeled Fiendish Beast Energy into his strike.

What exactly is Fiendish Beast Energy?

This was a legacy Yu Wu acquired from a set of ancient ruins over forty thousand years ago.

As the name implies, Fiendish Beast Energy transmutes Spiritual Energy into a more volatile form. What constitutes a Fiendish Beast? It is a type of insane, frenzied, berserk demon beast that has lost all semblance of control.

Fiendish Beast Energy is inherently volatile, immensely powerful, unrestrained, and seething with raw intensity.

By employing Fiendish Beast Energy, Yu Wu's sword strike saw its power amplified by at least thirty percent.

"Trouble!" As Yu Wu’s sword flashed, Yu Zhang’s expression contorted, tinged with a hint of self-reproach.

His intention was for Yu Wu to merely test Su Chen's might, not to annihilate him!

Yet, Yu Wu, provoked by Su Chen's demeanor, had immediately unleashed his most formidable technique, striking with two hundred percent of his power, aiming for Su Chen's demise.

Su Chen would, most likely, be reduced to a mere corpse in an instant.

This was not the outcome he desired.

However, at this critical juncture, Yu Zhang found himself powerless to intervene.

Even with his significantly superior strength compared to Yu Wu, that particular sword strike was optimized for sheer speed.

Furthermore, Yu Wu and Su Chen were positioned too close to each other.

There was insufficient time.

Absolutely no time to intervene.

As Yu Wu executed his sword strike, Yang Su's expression shifted dramatically.

She could distinctly feel a sense of danger.

Keep in mind, her cultivation realm was a full minor realm above Yu Wu's!

Within the Divine Lord Realm, each minor realm represented a vast gulf in power.

Under normal circumstances, Yu Wu's attack would pose no threat to her, yet the reality was, she genuinely perceived danger.

This could only attest to Yu Wu's immense strength, particularly in that specific sword strike.

Certain death!

She was convinced that, under this onslaught, Su Chen would perish countless times over.

The rest of the onlookers shared the same conviction, including Li Chui, Di Jie, and virtually everyone else present.

The profound shock from that sword strike was palpable to everyone present, its ultimate, unavoidable, and purely refined murderous intent and Death Energy evident. The critical aspect was that this sword strike seemed utterly impossible to evade!

Yu Wu's swordplay, exceeding all imagination, a true Slaying Sword, delivered a lethal blow...

"Damn it!!!" Even the Iceflame Vermilion Bird was gripped by anxiety, its heart pounding furiously. It yearned to intervene but found itself too late! A significant portion of its strength remained sealed by the Main Mother, preventing any rescue of Su Chen in such a confined timeframe!

At that precise moment.

Or rather, simultaneously as Yu Wu unleashed his attack.

Su Chen also made his move.

From a strategic standpoint, Su Chen would never overestimate any adversary. However, in the heat of combat, he equally refused to underestimate anyone, particularly when facing an opponent hailing from the Grand Cosmos World.

Therefore, the instant Yu Wu initiated his strike, Su Chen was aware; he sensed it, a testament to his unparalleled Divine Soul.

Su Chen's counter-attack was equally swift.

Likewise.

A single sword.

"Hiss..."

Just as silent and shadowless as the first, imperceptible even to the Divine Soul.

This particular sword.

In terms of sheer power, Su Chen poured his entire being into it.

A full two thousand five hundred units of Chaotic Power were unleashed, an astonishing and almost unbelievable figure of strength.

With this immense Chaotic Power, a single strike would typically be more than enough to instantly obliterate a cultivator at the Third Level of the Divine Lord Realm, doing so with effortless ease.

Furthermore, Su Chen incorporated the Nine Great Dao Rules.

Beyond that, he employed the terrifying Seven Stages Sword Rhyme.

Consequently, this particular sword strike was, in essence, overkill.

This very sword possessed the capability to instantly slay a cultivator at the Fourth Level of the Divine Lord Realm.

A fleeting moment later.

All observers present stood in stunned silence, bewildered.

Everything.

Had stilled.

Space, time, heartbeats, gazes – all seemed frozen.

The sword lights exchanged by Su Chen and Yu Wu were unseen.

The spatial fluctuations, aura shifts, Mysterious Qi movements, and the clash of murderous intent between Su Chen and Yu Wu, among other phenomena, were undetectable.

It was as if Su Chen and Yu Wu had never actually engaged in combat.

The anticipated scenes of Su Chen being impaled or dissolving into nothingness failed to materialize.

It was truly bizarre.

Extremely bizarre.

However.

After half a breath's time.

Suddenly!!!

Catching everyone completely off guard.

Without the slightest preceding sign.

Abruptly.

"Chi..."

A soft sound, like a spray, pierced the silence, fractured the very fabric of space, and shattered the stillness.

Accompanying this sound, a fountain of blood erupted, drifting through the air, scarlet and acrid.

A subtle sword scar appeared on Yu Wu's throat and neck, a faint line that began to widen.

Yu Wu's pupils constricted to their absolute limit, nearly sinking into his skull. His eyes, tainted with Death Energy, held a singular, overwhelming emotion – utter disbelief!

To his dying moment, he refused to accept it.

Su Chen had delivered a fatal blow.

The reasoning was simple: Yu Wu had attacked with lethal intent, aiming to kill Su Chen. Therefore, it was only natural that the killer should be killed, was it not?

"You are not my match." At that juncture, Su Chen regarded Yu Wu, his expression calm, indifferent, devoid of any emotional disturbance, and spoke those words. The same gentle words, delivered with an undeniable finality.
