Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2074 - 2172: Terrifying (First Update)

How could this be?!!!

At this very moment, a single thought echoed in the minds of everyone present.

A silent horror and a bone-chilling terror gnawed at their souls, like a worm that devours spirits, sending shivers down their spines.

Yang Su, who had previously looked down on Su Chen, felt her scalp prickle with unease.

She was certain her own abilities were comparable to Yu Wu’s, perhaps even slightly superior. Yu Wu, a recognized super genius capable of surpassing a minor realm, was nonetheless killed by Su Chen in an instant.

The implication was clear: facing Su Chen herself, she might not stand a chance.

"Not even five hundred years old, a Half-Step Divine Master, a martial cultivator from the Minor Thousand Worlds..." As Yang Su contemplated these three evident descriptors of Su Chen, a tremor ran through her heart. Possessing the strength of the Fourth Level of the Divine Lord Realm, Middle to Later Stage, she doubted even the Grand Cosmos World held another individual like him.

"Impossible, it’s utterly impossible, why is this happening?" Di Jie was unraveling, shaking his head as if trying to dislodge the unbelievable reality. He simply could not accept it, not even in the face of death.

Why was Su Chen still alive?

Why was Su Chen's strength like the fathomless abyss of the sea, impossible to gauge?

"Trash!!! You useless trash!" Di Jie inwardly cursed Yu Wu, blaming his incompetence for failing to eliminate Su Chen.

Di Jie glared at Su Chen, his blood-red, sinister eyes brimming with resentment and hatred that seemed almost tangible. This suffocating frustration, the intense desire to tear him apart yet being utterly powerless, pushed him to the brink of losing all composure.

"Great Elder, what do we do now?" the middle-aged man at Divine Lord Realm Third Level, standing beside Yu Zhang, inquired quietly, his voice laced with a slight tremor.

This man, identified as Yu Hao, served as the Yu Family's instructor, primarily responsible for guiding the younger generation in martial arts cultivation. Within the family hierarchy, he held a certain position.

Although Yu Hao was also at the Third Level of the Divine Lord Realm, his actual combat prowess fell significantly short of Yu Wu's.

Given that Yu Wu himself was instantly dispatched by Su Chen, Yu Hao couldn't help but ponder his own fate should he confront Su Chen, a thought that sent cold sweat drenching his back.

Behind them, the hundreds of Yu Family members wore somber expressions, their gazes fixed intently on Su Chen. The disdain, amusement, and contempt they had previously harbored had long since evaporated.

Even the Minor Thousand Worlds could apparently produce such monstrous talents!

"Young man, you are far more exceptional than I had ever imagined. You have slain Yu Wu, and by all rights, I should eliminate you to answer to the family. However, as I've stated, I hold you in high regard. Should you be willing to join the Yu Family, the matter of you killing Yu Wu will be absolved. I might even accept you as my direct disciple, as I have yet to take any myself," Yu Zhang declared, disregarding Yu Hao and fixing his gaze deeply upon Su Chen, his voice resonating with genuine sincerity.

Yu Zhang had, in earnest, developed an appreciation for such formidable talent.

Especially with Su Chen's demonstrated ability to eliminate Yu Wu so effortlessly, he was an even greater prodigy than Yu Zhang had anticipated.

As Yu Zhang spoke, a chilling wind seemed to sweep through the depths of everyone present, causing even the already distraught Di Jie to tremble more violently.

Even Yang Su's expression shifted through a spectrum of emotions.

It was as if a monumental opportunity, beyond anyone’s wildest imagination, had unexpectedly materialized.

Logically, everyone reasoned, Su Chen should accept this offer now, shouldn't he? He should be eager to seize this chance for advancement, wouldn't he? Refusing such an overt display of favor from Yu Zhang would be unbelievably foolish.

However.

In the very next moment.

Su Chen simply shook his head.

Yes.

He refused.

He refused without the slightest hesitation.

His Martial Dao Heart and personal pride constituted a significant portion of this decision.

Furthermore, Su Chen was acutely aware of his own circumstances. Possessing numerous Supreme Treasures, it was far more prudent for him to avoid entanglement with such large familial powers.

As for the cultivation resources the Yu Family could offer, Su Chen was already self-sufficient. With his Divine Mansion, True Fire Body Refinement, Divine Demon Body Refinement, and the Three Great Cosmic Treasures, he lacked absolutely nothing in terms of martial cultivation resources.

As Su Chen's headshake registered.

The temperature within the Imperial Realm plummeted as if by a hundred degrees, an icy chill so profound it seemed to freeze breath, heartbeats, sight, and thought itself.

This frigid aura appeared to solidify the very Triple Void, as if time itself had ceased its passage.

Many individuals looked anew at Su Chen, their previous condescending gazes, akin to viewing an imbecile, transforming into profound admiration.

When an individual deemed foolish displays such unyielding conviction and astonishing fearlessness, it elicits admiration.

At the very least, everyone present felt that they, in Su Chen's position, could not have acted in such a manner.

Not even in death.

"Are you truly unafraid of demise?" Contrary to what was expected, Yu Zhang didn't lash out in fury, nor did his malevolent Qi or murderous intent surface. Instead, a profound calmness settled upon him as he gazed at Su Chen with curiosity, his voice carrying a weathered tone.

"I am afraid." Su Chen offered a faint smile; fear of death is a universal human emotion.

"If you harbor fear, then why do you continue to refuse? You must understand, I've extended invitations numerous times, and each has been met with rejection. The sole inevitable outcome is death," Yu Zhang stated softly, a hint of regret coloring his words.

He genuinely held Su Chen in high esteem.

Had Su Chen been willing to align with the Yu Family and accept him as a master, Yu Zhang would have readily presented even more favorable terms.

Regrettably, he perceived Su Chen's outright unwillingness, recognizing that no additional offers would sway his decision.

Without affording Su Chen an opportunity to respond, Yu Zhang proceeded, "Although it is beneath me to intervene personally, if you are truly seeking your own demise!!! Then I have no choice but to act myself!"

Among the hundreds of Yu Family members present, not a single individual possessed the capability to contend with Su Chen!

With Yu Wu himself having fallen to Su Chen's might, Yu Zhang found himself compelled to take direct action.

The mere mention of Yu Zhang personally intervening cast a palpable shroud of dread over the surroundings.

Yu Zhang was an ancient powerhouse, residing at the Apex of the Fifth Level of the Divine Lord Realm!

Confronting such an ancient expert radiated an immense pressure, an overwhelming wave of despair that defied description.

To personally act?

Utterly terrifying.

Even Yang Su couldn't help but feel a chill course through her veins, her scalp prickling at the thought. Facing the direct assault of an ancient being at the Apex of the Fifth Level of the Divine Lord Realm presented a truly ineffable despair!

For herself, she wouldn't dare, not even if faced with certain death.

Su Chen found the situation somewhat amusing. Was being afraid of death synonymous with fearing Yu Zhang? Was Yu Zhang equivalent to death itself? Wasn't that an excessive assumption? In Su Chen's assessment, while Yu Zhang's formidable power was undeniable, he still possessed the absolute confidence to vanquish him!

"Might I offer a piece of advice?" Su Chen paused, his mind working through matters deliberately for a moment, before speaking with earnestness.
