Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2116 - 2214: Can You Wait a Moment? (Fifth Update)

For many years, Nan Yunyi’s extensive assistance to the Hu Family surpassed what the family had extended to her by a hundredfold. Her initial thought was that gifting a dowry to Hu Zong via her maid would signify a clean slate, as favors were not meant to be endless. However, fate had other plans, and Hu Zong was tragically killed. From the maid's account, Nan Yunyi became aware of Su Chen. It was at this juncture that Hu Xu arrived, prostrating himself before Nan Yunyi, begging for one final act of assistance for the Hu Family. His sole request was for Nan Yunyi to exact revenge for Hu Zong. Nan Yunyi eventually acquiesced. Given her esteemed position, she could not act directly. Instead, she dispatched Nan Huang, a promising young prodigy from the Nan Family, to handle the matter. This Nan Huang, a top-tier talent within his family, possessed immense pride. The mere notion of being assigned to eliminate a boy under five hundred years old in the Minor Thousand Worlds struck him as absurd. He pondered when such insignificant, demeaning tasks had fallen to his caliber. Yet, Nan Yunyi's earnest plea swayed him. Nan Huang agreed, not for any other reason than it was Nan Yunyi's request. Within the Nan Family, Nan Yunyi was regarded as the celestial maiden among the younger generation. Nan Huang, like many others, held her in the highest esteem, willing to humble himself even to the point of venturing into the Minor Thousand Worlds to dispatch an ant-like boy, purely at her bidding. "The Hu Family? Seeking retribution?" Su Chen, overhearing the exchange between Nan Huang and Hu Xu, quickly grasped the situation, a sense of weariness coloring his expression. Revenge, indeed. It would have been preferable if the Hu Family had let the matter rest. But to pursue vengeance in this manner felt like an invitation to doom. Apart from Nan Huang, the others present were all cultivators at the Fifth to Eighth Level of the Divine Lord Realm – remarkably weak. Su Chen surmised that the expert at the Ninth Level Mid Stage was likely not a member of the Hu Family but rather someone they had hired. "Will you end your own life, or shall I, Nan Huang, make the decision myself?" Nan Huang inquired moments later, his gaze indifferent, as if addressing a corpse. His voice, though not loud, carried an air of supreme authority, the resonant vibrations falsely suggesting the presence of a Divine Monarch. Nan Huang was here to assassinate Su Chen, and he saw no need for subtlety; why be discreet when dealing with an ant? Even if this 'ant' supposedly possessed the strength to defeat Fifth Level Divine Lord Realm cultivators, what of it? Did Nan Huang need to take such a conflict seriously? A Fifth Level Divine Lord Realm cultivator was a hundred times weaker than one at the Ninth Level. As Nan Huang spoke, the expressions of many within the Imperial Heart Plaza shifted. They wondered if these newly arrived cultivators were here for vengeance. The young man leading them, at the Ninth Level Mid Stage of the Divine Lord Realm, was particularly formidable. Among the younger generation in the Grand Cosmos World, a Ninth Level Mid Stage Divine Lord Realm cultivator was considered a prodigy, even within powers of Fourth Rank and Fifth Grade. Their origins must be significant. When had Su Chen managed to provoke such a powerful individual? Yet, this cultivator seemed unaware of Su Chen's true capabilities, suggesting suicide to someone who could defeat a Ninth Level Mid Stage Divine Lord Realm cultivator like Ke Wuxin? What a jest! Even the demonized Ke Wuxin, who possessed near Ninth Level Mid Stage Divine Lord Realm power, was swiftly defeated by Su Chen. From where did this newcomer draw such confidence? "How about this: Grant me a few moments. I shall conclude my current affairs, and then we can address yours, alright?" Su Chen chuckled, implying his intention to deal with Ke Wuxin first before turning his attention to the Hu Family. Matters ought to be resolved sequentially, was his reasoning. "Do you honestly believe I am negotiating with you, boy?!" Nan Huang's eyes suddenly narrowed, sharp as twin sword beams. His demeanor was overbearing, fierce, and immensely powerful, compelling onlookers to avert their gaze. The atmosphere of the entire Imperial Heart Plaza turned rigid, as if plunged into an frigid abyss, making even breathing a struggle. Such potent pressure emanated from Nan Huang, a mere wisp of his aura causing people to feel an urge to prostrate themselves. Su Chen's brow furrowed slightly. He looked at Nan Huang and said, "I truly detest being interrupted when I'm in the middle of something." "And then?" Nan Huang laughed, a faint smile widening, laced with a cruel killing intent. He mused inwardly: Did an ant truly dare to speak to him in such a manner? Clearly, this individual was unaware of Nan Huang's reputation. Su Chen's audacious words alone convinced Nan Huang to ensure Su Chen endured a fate worse than death before finally extinguishing his life. Nan Huang had always possessed a cruel and domineering disposition.

The more intense his smile, the more he desired death.

"Then. You can die now." The words were spoken with stark seriousness by Su Chen.

The instant his declaration ceased.

Abruptly.

He made his move.

With lightning speed.

An action completely unanticipated.

Hardly anyone registered what had happened.

After all, launching an assault against a formidable Ninth Level Mid Stage Divine Lord Realm opponent is no trivial undertaking.

It's not something one should do so carelessly.

Nan Huang, in particular, was caught completely off guard.

From his perspective, Su Chen’s wisest course of action would have been to grovel, to end his own life; or if he absolutely had to strike, it would be out of sheer desperation, with trembling hands, a forced, passive defense.

Who could have possibly foreseen...

Su Chen's swift and utterly proactive strike.

However, Nan Huang was indeed Nan Huang.

His inherent power and acquired combat experience were by no means lacking.

Otherwise, he would not have attained such a prominent position among the young elites of the Nan Family.

Even though Su Chen’s maneuver was launched without any prior warning and with extraordinary, extreme, blinding speed.

Nan Huang was hardly any slower.

Within a minuscule fraction of a second after Su Chen's explosive action, he too retaliated.

Furthermore, his counterattack was unleashed without any significant reservation.

Originally, in Nan Huang’s estimation, dispatching a boy as insignificant as an ant wouldn't require him to use his full strength; he wouldn't want to sully his hands, would he?

But at this precise moment, he inexplicably perceived a distinct hint of peril.

Yes, despite finding it unbelievable, considering it possibly a phantom sensation, for the sake of absolute safety.

He committed every ounce of his power to the strike.

"Cloudless Sword of Taicang!!!"

Nan Huang raised his arm, brandishing a sword of his own.

Moreover, the sword in his grasp was a genuine Spirit Imperial Weapon, an authentic Spirit Imperial Artifact, a clear testament to Nan Huang’s incredibly influential background.

This Spirit Imperial Weapon took the form of a broadsword, colored black and red, resembling a piece of metal that had been intensely scorched.

The blade, though not particularly slender, possessed an undeniable character.

Yet, as it sliced through the atmosphere, it exuded an overwhelming aura of absolute dominance.

The formidable broadsword seemed to have become one with Nan Huang himself.

With masterful dexterity, Nan Huang manipulated the weighty blade, executing countless slashes within an incredibly compressed timeframe.

With every single swing, the broadsword garnered colossal momentum, akin to a relentless, monstrous tidal wave.

And high above, within the celestial expanse, the clouds, regardless of whether they were infused with demonic Qi or pure, appeared at this very instant to be ensnared by an enigmatic, peculiar gravitational pull, as if teleporting, they were all drawn irresistibly into Nan Huang’s unfathomable broadsword.

A vast, oppressive, majestic, and time-worn sword aura erupted, instantly illuminating the entirety of the Imperial Heart Plaza.
