The Divine Urban Physician

”Ji Lin, Brother Ye is in danger!”

When Ye Luo’s voice echoed in the air, Ji Lin, who was standing nearby, was momentarily taken aback.

”Sister Luo, are you having a nightmare?” She reached out and touched Ye Luo’s forehead to check for a fever.

”Ye Chen appears to be in the Southern Region. How do you know what is happening there?”

”I will get you a glass of water to help you relax.”

”Also, the headmaster of the Divine Fire Academy instructed me to inform him if you woke up.”

”Please wait for me.”

However, just as Ji Lin was about to leave, Ye Luo grasped her hand tightly.

There were dragon scales on her hands, and they seemed extremely unstable.

Ji Lin could clearly sense that something was amiss. She hurriedly inquired, ”Sister Luo, are you feeling unwell?”

”I will call someone over immediately.”

Yet, Ye Luo could no longer explain herself. She held onto Ji Lin’s hand with a firm grip and stated, ”Ji Lin, my bloodline has awakened.”

”I am a member of the Holy Dragon Family. Moreover, my father is not dead.”

”Long Hongtian sought to eliminate me at all costs. He even intended to take away my bloodline. If it were not for Brother Ye, he might have succeeded.”

”Sister Luo, how did you know this?” Ji Lin’s expression turned serious.

Ye Luo struggled to rise. ”My bloodline is somewhat unique. I seem to be able to perceive images of the people around me...”

”Just now, I appeared to see Brother Ye covered in blood. He was being chased by a terrifying girl and fell off a cliff. As for what happened after that, I cannot say for certain... However, I am convinced that this is definitely not a dream!”

Ji Lin was taken aback. She contemplated for a considerable time before responding, ”Very well. Sister Luo, let us seek out the dean.”

”The dean’s power might be able to assist Brother Ye.”

...

The scene shifted.

In a strange sea of fog, waves of energy rolled tumultuously.

Ye Chen was targeted by the sword beam, and his expression grew exceedingly grave. He gritted his teeth and wielded the Rotten Beast Sword, channeling all of his powers. It was as if a demonic deity from another realm had descended, and he met it with the Eternal Lightning Sword.

With a resounding boom, a fierce storm of attacks surged across the sea of fog. The bizarre fog did not dissipate entirely, yet Ye Chen’s lightning sword essence was once again suppressed by Lin Yaqin’s sword beam. The sword beam flashed violently toward Ye Chen’s body.

The Earth Dragon Armor and the Red Dust Divine Bloodline were temporarily activated once more. However, Ye Chen’s spiritual energy reserves were nearly exhausted.

The protective barrier clashed with the residual sword beam, resulting in another loud explosion. This terrifying sword radiance was finally obliterated. However, Ye Chen’s body was also hurled backward, crashing into the mountain wall.

With another wound on his chest, Ye Chen’s consciousness began to blur.

Nevertheless, he possessed a fierce determination.

How could he tolerate such relentless beatings?

He did not intend to hide within the sea of fog to recover from his injuries and conceal his presence, although he recognized that it would have been the most logical course of action. He knew that Lin Yaqin’s spiritual energy was not limitless.

Even if she was an expert on the verge of advancing to the Great Void realm and possessed a vast reserve of spiritual energy, she would eventually become drained if she continued to unleash large-scale assaults like the one she did earlier.

Once she was exhausted, she would need time to recover. This would grant Ye Chen the opportunity to heal.

However, being pummeled like this was too humiliating.

Even if Ye Chen had to risk severe injury, he would ensure that he inflicted a wound on Lin Yaqin!

He would exchange injuries for injuries!

However, just as Ye Chen, bloodied and wielding the Rotten Beast Sword, prepared to charge at Lin Yaqin, a deafening roar resonated in their ears.

Lin Yaqin and Ye Chen could not help but turn their gazes toward the source of the roar.

Within the fog, an immense and grotesque figure emerged. From its outline, it resembled a monster the size of a small mountain. It sported a dragon-like tail, horns adorning its head, and a pair of enormous claws. It was a creature that stood upright.

At that moment, Feng Qingyang’s laughter echoed in Ye Chen’s mind. ”It is indeed a Heavenly Mist Demon. Kid, this is the dangerous thing that I mentioned that can threaten that girl.”

”Heavenly Mist Demon?” Ye Chen inquired, perplexed.

Feng Qingyang chuckled, ”The Heavenly Mist Demon is an exceedingly rare and strange entity in the world. It can only be born in locations imbued with a special fog, such as the Heavenly Mist.”

”As for Heavenly Mist Demons, their strength is formidable. Ordinary Heavenly Mist Demons are peak-level Sealed Gate realm creatures, and if they mutate, they can even reach the Great Void Realm or beyond!”

Ye Chen’s eyes flickered with realization. ”So, this is an ordinary Heavenly Mist Demon?”

Ye Chen understood that Lin Yaqin was considered extremely powerful, so an ordinary Heavenly Mist Demon might struggle to fight her.

Feng Qingyang remarked, ”Kid, although your concealment technique won’t be able to elude the Heavenly Mist Demon, it will likely prioritize confronting that insane woman. You need not worry that the Heavenly Mist Demon cannot contend with her. The Heavenly Mist Demon possesses a peculiar ability.”

”A particularly strange ability?”

”The Heavenly Mist Demon wields a type of fog divine technique, which can significantly diminish physical attacks!”

Ye Chen’s eyes brightened upon hearing this. He recognized that Lin Yaqin was not a soul cultivator. If she had been, she would not have been momentarily distracted by his rudimentary Soul Sword technique.

If that were the case, it would undoubtedly be incredibly challenging for her to combat a Heavenly Mist Demon of the same level.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen retrieved the Moon Dust Gauze and concealed himself once more.

Lin Yaqin was focused on the monster that had been disturbed by her and Ye Chen. It was roaring furiously as it advanced toward her. A serious expression settled on her cold face.

Before long, the Heavenly Mist Demon emerged from the dense fog. It appeared as a monstrous figure standing 30 to 50 meters tall, with a head that resembled a dragon yet was not quite a dragon. It possessed a pair of sharp horns and a mouth filled with glistening, sword-like teeth. Its body bore similarities to that of an ape, with two elongated arms that extended down to its knees and a pair of thick black claws. It stood upright, and its dragon tail swayed rhythmically. The sight was exceedingly peculiar.

Lin Yaqin’s expression shifted upon witnessing the Heavenly Mist Demon’s appearance. She instantly recognized the creature, and her heart sank.

This was because she understood that although the Heavenly Mist Demon was not overly strong, it possessed a fog divine technique. Her attacks would undoubtedly be significantly weakened by it.

Lin Yaqin’s eyes narrowed, and she coldly directed her words toward Ye Chen, ”This demon is called the Heavenly Mist Demon. You cannot evade it with your invisibility. The Heavenly Mist Demon possesses a mist-like ability that can greatly lessen the damage inflicted by my attacks. If we do not join forces, we shall perish here!”

Why did she wish to join forces with Ye Chen?

The answer was straightforward. Lin Yaqin recognized that Ye Chen’s divine soul was incredibly powerful, perhaps even stronger than her own. Moreover, he had mastered the art of soul attacks.

Although demonic beasts typically surpassed cultivators of the same level in terms of physical strength, most demonic beasts were not particularly strong in terms of their souls. In other words, soul cultivation was the nemesis of demonic beasts.

When it comes to confronting a demon like the Heavenly Mist Demon, Ye Chen could be considered the most suitable candidate!
