Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2075 - 2173: How Could This Happen? (Second Update)

"Speak."

"Can you refrain from making a move?" Su Chen's expression grew exceedingly serious as he met Yu Zhang's gaze, devoid of any trace of humor.

The moment Su Chen voiced these words, it was apparent to Yang Su, Li Chui, Di Jie, and virtually everyone present that Su Chen was trembling with fear. This was hardly surprising, as no one present dared to mock him.

After all, if they found themselves in his predicament, hearing that Yu Zhang intended to personally intervene, they would undoubtedly be terrified, perhaps even more so than Su Chen!

However, the truly perplexing aspect of Su Chen's behavior was this: if he was indeed afraid of Yu Zhang's intervention, why did he reject Yu Zhang's offer of an easy victory? Wasn't this akin to self-destruction?

"So, you finally feel fear?" Yang Su sneered, a low murmur escaping his lips.

"You have refused me, and consequently, you are no longer affiliated with the Yu Family. Since you are an outsider, and you have slain Yu Wu, I am compelled to annihilate you. I must take action." Yu Zhang met Su Chen's stare, his imposing aura continuing to press down.

He, too, presumed Su Chen was gripped by fear.

It was only natural.

When truly confronted with the prospect of life and death, an individual's composure often wavers.

A sudden lightness filled Yu Zhang's mood. Witnessing Su Chen's evident fear and apparent abandonment of his earlier obstinacy, it seemed achievable to secure this disciple.

"I do not wish for you to act because I perceive you to be a decent individual, and thus, I do not desire to see you perish by my hand." Su Chen suddenly let out a light chuckle, his demeanor as carefree as the wind and clouds, a faint smile gracing his lips.

Su Chen was not jesting.

He genuinely regarded Yu Zhang with a measure of respect; did Yu Zhang not, after all, hold him in some regard? If it could be avoided, Su Chen harbored no enthusiasm for a life-and-death confrontation with Yu Zhang.

But.

At this precise moment.

Just as Su Chen's faint words began to ripple through the air.

Abruptly, within the confines of the Imperial Realm, a multitude of Imperial Family members simultaneously lost consciousness, collapsing where they stood.

Their minds were reeling, overwhelmed to the point of collapse, utterly incapable of processing the situation.

Yang Su, Li Chui, and the others found their ears ringing, utterly petrified, as if they were succumbing to auditory hallucinations.

Su... Su... What had Su Chen just said?

He didn't want Yu Zhang to act because he feared Yu Zhang would die at his hands.

Heavens above! My heavens!

Losing their minds.

Even Yu Zhang himself was rendered speechless, utterly dumbfounded.

The approximately one hundred members of the Yu Family standing behind Yu Zhang experienced involuntary twitches of their mouths and body spasms.

How formidable was Yu Zhang? These Yu Family members were acutely aware.

He held the esteemed position of the Great Elder of the Yu Family!

An ancient, formidable being who had reached the pinnacle of the Fifth Level Divine Lord Realm!

To put it plainly, if Yu Zhang so desired, a single move from him could obliterate every single person present.

Do not be deceived by Su Chen's swift elimination of Yu Wu; in reality, Yu Zhang could effortlessly dispatch ten, perhaps even twenty, individuals like Yu Wu with a single, decisive action.

This... this... this young man named Su Chen, could he possibly be so utterly ignorant as to believe he could overpower and kill Yu Zhang?

It was inconceivable.

It was profoundly difficult to fathom that someone's thought process could be so utterly warped.

"Youngster Su, you..." Even the Iceflame Vermilion Bird was bewildered, questioning the true intentions behind this young man's actions?! Was he deliberately provoking Yu Zhang?

A few moments later.

"Hahahahaha..." Yu Zhang suddenly erupted into laughter, his hearty and robust guffaws echoing all the way to the Nine Heavens.

As he laughed, his gaze remained fixed upon Su Chen: "Young one, do you realize? You are the very first youth to dare exhibit such audacious impudence in my presence! You possess considerable nerve!!! Therefore, I give you my word, I shall engage you in battle, and I will exert every fiber of my being!"

Yu Zhang ultimately made his decision.

He was resolved to end Su Chen's life.

Firstly, Su Chen had repeatedly spurned him; if he could not possess him, he would annihilate him.

Secondly, despite Su Chen's unparalleled talent, his mental fortitude lacked the necessary maturity. His arrogance and ignorance were profound, leading him to dismiss even the mighty Yu Zhang—this left Yu Zhang somewhat disillusioned. Regardless of how prodigious a martial cultivator's innate talent might be, if their state of mind is not sufficiently developed, they are unlikely to achieve greatness in the future. In Yu Zhang's assessment, Su Chen's future mental disposition would inevitably impede his progress, thereby significantly diminishing Su Chen's perceived value in Yu Zhang's eyes.

An overwhelming deluge of murderous intent, utterly unrestrained, surged towards Su Chen. It advanced like a tsunami capable of shaking the world, pure and incandescent, roaring and crashing with immense force, sending shockwaves through the very fabric of the void and the surrounding chaos.

The space encircling Su Chen felt akin to a frail vessel caught in the throes of a hurricane, appearing so weak and vulnerable, poised to disintegrate into dust at any given moment.

Within the Imperial Realm, the hues of the densely concentrated Triple Void began to shift, gradually taking on a crimson, blood-like appearance. Yu Zhang, a monstrous entity who had endured for countless millennia, had accumulated a terrifying reservoir of killing intent, far exceeding the norm.

Di Jie finally let out a full, complete exhalation, recognizing with certainty that at this juncture, he could finally cast aside all his anxieties. Yu Zhang was personally intervening, and his murderous intent was overwhelmingly evident, leaving no room for doubt or retreat.

Su Chen was irrevocably doomed to perish!!!

Even if Su Chen were possessed by a True God himself, his fate was already sealed.

"As long as this insignificant brat perishes, as long as I can personally witness this insignificant brat's demise, even if the Imperial Family is annihilated, it's worthwhile." Di Jie muttered, his eyes blazing red to the point of dripping, fixed unyieldingly on Su Chen, anticipating the very instant Su Chen would dissolve into nothingness.

And at this critical juncture.

"Attack." Su Chen uttered a solitary word, and then...

He struck.

Proactively.

Indeed, he took the initiative.

Without the slightest of hesitations.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Su Chen unleashed his attack, swift and with absolute decisiveness.

Initially, it was with his sword.

This sword, fortified by over two thousand five hundred units of chaotic power, infused with the profound essence of the Seven Stages Sword Rhyme, propelled by the Nine Great Dao Rules, and wielded with the might of the Three Great Cosmic Treasures.

These four elements converged as one.

A single, peerless sword stroke was unleashed.

This strike represented the pinnacle of Su Chen's current offensive capability.

Furthermore, this was Su Chen's second trump card, distinct from the Zhan Cang Sword Array.

Confronting Yu Zhang, Su Chen absolutely could not afford any carelessness, thus he deployed his ultimate technique without delay!!!

"Hiss..."

As the sword was released, it produced only a faint, soul-piercing resonance.

Then, in the space between heaven and earth, a sudden, resplendent downpour of swords manifested, blanketing the Imperial Realm, the materialization of sword intent transforming into crystalline raindrops.

The Triple Void Spaces receded, yielding to the stark emptiness of chaos.

Within the boundaries of the Imperial Realm, at this precise moment, numerous colossal mountains were reduced to utter annihilation.

Upon the unleashing of this sword, piercing cries of agony erupted from the heavens above the Nine Heavens, as if the very firmament had been rent asunder by the overwhelming sword intent.

When this singular sword was unleashed, Yu Zhang's tsunami-like torrents of killing intent instantly recoiled, dissipating like morning mist, the crimson hue receding...

The thousands of martial cultivators who bore witness were suddenly plunged into a dreamlike state, their divine souls and physical bodies perilously close to separation, adrift in a disorienting sensation of life and death. Their minds became utterly befuddled.

Only a select few, like Yang Su, managed to cling to a fragile thread of consciousness. However, it was precisely because of this desperate hold that Yang Su was nearly fractured by sheer terror, her face bleached to the pallor of a corpse, her heart pounding near the brink of rupture.

Su Chen's sword was clearly not directed at her, yet she was engulfed by an overwhelming premonition of death, an aura of power so immense, so indescribably potent!
