The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2459: Chapter 2433: Oh no! (First Update)

...

In the midst of a colorful stone forest, virtually devoid of any trees and flowers, five figures were swiftly darting around.

These five people, four men and one woman, were all existences within the Great Void, and their strength was not weak. However, at this time, they were all more or less injured, and their somewhat pale faces were filled with a look of fear!

Behind them, a roar suddenly erupted as dirt and rocks churned, and from beneath the ground, a beast covered in crystal stones that glimmered with blue ghost light, with a horn on its head and resembling a flood dragon, burst out!

It was indeed an Earth Flood Dragon from the Great Void! At this moment, the body of the Earth Flood Dragon was also covered in many cracks, obviously, it too was not lightly wounded!

An Earth Flood Dragon was an extremely powerful beast even within the Divine Kingdom, and could have dominated a region even in ancient times!

Among the five, the woman was exceptionally beautiful and alluring. Now, a hint of resentment flashed across her pretty face as she cursed angrily, ”What the hell was Zhao Xian thinking? He brought us here to collect top-grade ores, and we’ve encountered such a terrifying Earth Flood Dragon! If he hadn’t been the first to be killed by the Earth Flood Dragon, I would make sure he had a miserable death!”

These people all came from a power known as the Heavenly Nine Sect. The woman, named Zhang Zi, was blessed with astounding beauty and exceptional talent, and was the goddess to nearly half of the disciples of the Heavenly Nine Sect!

Zhao Xian, mentioned by Zhang Zi, was also one of those smitten with her, but not everyone could get close to Zhang Zi.

In his attempts to get close to Zhang Zi, Zhao Xian even gave her the martial cultivation resources allocated to him by his sect, but Zhang Zi was not someone who could be easily pleased.

If it were merely a matter of giving up martial cultivation resources, wouldn’t everyone in the sect have the right to approach the goddess they all dream of?

To satisfy Zhang Zi, Zhao Xian went out of his way to undertake various dangerous missions, gathering martial cultivation resources, Mystical Spirit Stones, and treasures to gift to her.

Initially, Zhang Zi was satisfied with his performance, and when in a good mood, she would show some concern and act coyly with him, which was enough to make Zhao Xian overjoyed and even more devoted to her!

But, in recent times, Zhang Zi’s attitude towards Zhao Xian had become increasingly cold.

Zhao Xian was just a Martial Arts Cultivator from an ordinary family. Even if he occasionally presented some valuables, how could he compare over time to those scions of wealthy and influential families?

The thought of Zhang Zi chatting and laughing with those affluent young men twisted Zhao Xian’s heart in agony!

To win back Zhang Zi’s favor, he risked life and death, exploring Wanshi Mountain--a place extremely dangerous for someone of his strength—and finally found a trove with many precious ores!

However, these top-tier ores, like the Sky-reaching Stone, also possessed Innate Qi and required two individuals from the Great Void to break them open!

Overjoyed, Zhao Xian immediately went to share his discovery with Zhang Zi!

Originally, he had intended to bring only Zhang Zi with him, but to his surprise, Zhang Zi wanted to gain more ores and actually invited those young masters who flocked around her to come along as well!

After all, the ores they obtained would ultimately contribute to her possessions, right?

Upon learning this, Zhao Xian desperately tried to persuade Zhang Zi not to go, fearing a large group might attract powerful beasts from Wanshi Mountain, posing a tremendous risk!

However, Zhang Zi dismissed Zhao Xian’s warnings, considering them nothing but an excuse for him wanting to be alone with her, and paid him no attention.

As Zhao Xian had predicted, their group did indeed attract the attention of this fearsome Earth Flood Dragon. Among the five, Zhang Zi was the weakest; when the Earth Flood Dragon appeared, she was in the most danger.

To save Zhang Zi, Zhao Xian desperately held off the Earth Flood Dragon, giving the others a chance to counterattack! But after a fierce battle, they were no match and had to flee for their lives!

But, Zhao Xian had been gravely injured by the Earth Flood Dragon!

Yet now, Zhao Xian’s efforts, his sacrifices, had resulted only in Zhang Zi’s resentment and ridicule!

Zhang Zi had never regarded Zhao Xian as a person; to her, he was merely a tool in her grasp!

That a tool should be damaged for her was only right, but why should she herself be endangered because of a tool?

What expression would Zhao Xian show had he heard these words from Zhang Zi?

And the men beside Zhang Zi were all echoing one after another, ”That’s right! It’s all because of that damned Zhao Xian!”

”Someone with such lowly family origins dares to get close to Xiao Zi? If it weren’t for him, a toad lusting after swan flesh, would we have ended up in this predicament?”

”A piece of trash—he knows how dangerous it is here and yet he dares to bring Xiao Zi to this place?”

Zhang Zi’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she suddenly spoke, ”Continuing to flee like this isn’t a solution. The Earth Flood Dragon has been seriously injured; is there any powerful and brave brother who can hold it off for the time being? If so, we might have a chance to eliminate it!”

Upon hearing her words, the men fell silent all at once.

They were all scions of wealthy families, indeed fond of Zhang Zi, and spending some Martial Cultivation Resources or gifting her treasures didn’t really matter to them.

But they were no fools; they knew clearly that now was not the time to show off in front of Zhang Zi!

Their strength was not much better than Zhao Xian’s, and what had happened to Zhao Xian?

Defending against the Earth Flood Dragon could very likely cost them their lives!

Seeing the crowd’s silence, a hint of anger flickered in Zhang Zi’s beautiful eyes, yet she did not show it.

She still needed these people to save her life!

But at that moment, the crystal stone on the Earth Flood Dragon’s body, suddenly emitted a blinding light, its entire body transforming into a streak of blue light, and almost as if it had used Instant Teleportation, appeared right in front of Zhang Zi and the others!

The faces of the group turned pale all at once, and one of the men shouted, ”We can’t dodge this; let’s fight together, or we all die!”

The Earth Flood Dragon let out a fierce roar, its massive body moving like a giant rock, and hurled itself viciously towards the group. Meanwhile, Zhang Zi and the others didn’t dare to hold back at all, each unleashing their Supreme Martial Techniques. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged wildly, the Void trembled, and Wanshi Mountain shook with a terrifying force!

With a booming sound, numerous boulders crumbled in the aftermath of their clash. The Earth Flood Dragon screamed, the cracks on its body deepening, its breath fading!

But! The situation for Zhang Zi and the others was even worse! They were all spitting blood, blown to the ground by the strike, their aura rapidly withered, looking as if they had no strength left to fight!

Seeing this, a vicious light flashed in the Earth Flood Dragon’s Dragon Eyes—it certainly wouldn’t let go of such an opportunity!

As the Earth Flood Dragon moved to attack again, intending to completely eradicate these detestable humans, suddenly, a figure flashed!

A man appeared between Zhang Zi’s group and the Earth Flood Dragon, looking at the incoming beast with an indifferent expression. Suddenly, he raised his hand and shot out three seemingly simple and rough Dragonslayer Swords!

This person was none other than Ye Chen!
