The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2481: Chapter 2455: Poisonous Gu Insect Path! (Fourth Update)

”Blood Demon Sky Splitting Claw!”

As Lin Yu made his move, the momentum was astoundingly alarming, the thick scent of blood was so intense that even the audience present could smell it!

”Heavenly Hunting Sword!”

Zhao Sheng bellowed, and with a horizontal slash of his sword at the bloody claw tearing through the air, the Dragonslayer Sword hummed in response to Zhao Sheng’s shout, emitting a terrifying beastly roar. The Beast Pattern engraved on the blade seemed to come to life, constantly roaming across the sword surface!

A chilly sword light clashed with the fierce and terrifying blood claw!

With a thunderous boom, both were obliterated, fighting to a standstill with evenly matched power!

However, upon closer inspection, Lin Yu had indeed taken a small half-step back compared to Zhao Sheng!

The two figures moved swiftly, exchanging blows with each other, and within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they had already engaged in battle over a hundred times!

Suddenly, Lin Yu’s blood essence began to fade, and a trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. After the continuous exchange of blows, his body finally began to falter.

Zhao Sheng’s eyes lit up, naturally not missing this prime opportunity. He operated his spiritual energy beyond its limit and slashed out with a supremely powerful sword strike. The sword light instantly tore apart Lin Yu’s hastily generated bloody demon claw, and in the next moment, a line of blood appeared on Lin Yu’s forehead, with Zhao Sheng’s sword edge merely half an inch away.

Lin Yu broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed, saying, ”I...I’ve lost...”

Zhao Sheng heaved a sigh of relief. The two stepped down from the Battle Arena to resounding cheers filling the arena!

Splendid!

Truly splendid!

Although the two’s performance in the Physical Test wasn’t considered very good, they were, after all, peerless geniuses who had passed the Physical Test; their strength was still incredibly formidable!

Having witnessed the battle between Lin Yu and Zhao Sheng, the audience grew even more eager for the upcoming battle between Ye Chen and Ling Jiuxiao!

They knew that Ling Jiuxiao and Ye Chen bore a grudge, and it was not an ordinary one. It was inevitable that there would be a battle between the two!

Indeed, with a cold expression, Ling Jiuxiao looked at Ye Chen and scoffed, ”Ye Chen, do you dare to battle me?”

Currently, Ling Jiuxiao, having broken through to the Great Void Realm, was strong enough to crush any average Sixth Level of Great Void existence, and with his Forbidden Spirit Body during combat, he naturally had an overwhelming advantage and saw no reason he would lose!

Once he killed Ye Chen, he would remain the highly celebrated Ling Jiuxiao, even within the Divine Kingdom!

Speaking of which, Ling Jiuxiao turned to Wen Tianli and asked, ”Elder Wen, what if someone dies during the competition?”

As soon as these words came out, another hush fell over the Battle Arena!

Ling Jiuxiao, this was blatant murderous intent!

Completely undisguised!

Although everyone had long known that Ling Jiuxiao and Ye Chen had a grudge, and it seemed a rather serious one, they had not expected it to escalate to a life-or-death situation!

Originally, Ye Chen was just a clown-like figure in the hearts of the crowd, his death would be insignificant.

But now, everyone’s view of Ye Chen had completely changed!

Ye Chen was indeed a peerless genius with heavenly-gifted talent; his death would be a pity, and many people started to worry about him.

However, talented as Ye Chen was, could he be a match for Ling Jiuxiao right now?

That was uncertain.

First of all, Ling Jiuxiao’s talent was obviously also against the heavens; even if it was slightly inferior to Ye Chen’s, it was a small margin.

But Ling Jiuxiao was a whole major realm higher than Ye Chen!

Furthermore, the martial artists present were not without discernment. From the recent tests, many had begun to speculate that Ling Jiuxiao possessed one of the legendary Divine Bodies, the Forbidden Spirit Body, though they weren’t yet certain.

And the Forbidden Spirit Body, among Divine Bodies, was almost like cheating!

Especially when the Martial Arts Cultivator’s division of realms is not high, having a Forbidden Spirit Body is defyingly terrifying, it can even suppress many bloodlines!

If Ling Jiuxiao indeed possesses the Forbidden Spirit Body, then let’s not talk about the future, as of now, Ye Chen is bound to lose without a doubt!

In the history of the Divine Kingdom, there has never been a record of a possessor of the Forbidden Spirit Body losing to an opponent of lower realm!

As such, many feel that Ye Chen should not accept Ling Jiuxiao’s challenge!

Because, it is obvious that Ling Jiuxiao does not want to compete, he wants to kill!

Ye Chen has currently displayed peerless talent, and although he has offended powerful individuals from fourth-class forces, so what?

With Ye Chen’s talent, it is likely that even if he wanted to join a top-tier force, he would be able to do so!

Therefore, the wisest action for Ye Chen right now would be to decline Ling Jiuxiao’s challenge, everyone would understand his decision and not deem Ye Chen as weak.

Both are peerless geniuses, yet you possess the Forbidden Spirit Body. If we are to fight, should we not wait till we are of the same realm?

Now, if Ye Chen accepts the challenge, it’s indeed prideful, yet reckless.

The people of the Divine Kingdom, though arrogant and looking down upon the weak, are not brutes.

Arrogant, but with discretion, and rational pride.

However, Ling Jiuxiao revealed a cold smile; with his understanding of Ye Chen, Ye Chen would definitely accept the challenge.

Even disregarding Ye Chen’s disrespect towards him, and their personal grudges, speaking purely from an interest standpoint, Ling Jiuxiao absolutely needs Ye Chen dead.

He possesses a Divine Body and is destined to join one of the top-tier forces, but, the mysterious powerhouse from the top-tier force present today seems to have taken a liking to Ye Chen!

This means he may possibly be entering the top-tier force with Ye Chen!

This is precisely the situation Ling Jiuxiao least wants to see!

Honestly, Ye Chen’s talent has already instilled fear in him; if they were to join the same top-tier force under equivalent conditions, even Ling Jiuxiao has no confidence he could completely overshadow Ye Chen...

And he knows, if Ye Chen grows strong, the first he would kill is Ling Jiuxiao himself!

Thus, it’s imperative he eradicates the roots here today!

Not leaving any future troubles has always been his belief.

What’s more, Ling Jiuxiao has made full preparations for today’s selection competition!

Aside from breaking through the Great Void, he has numerous other contingencies in place!

He has fought with Ye Chen and profoundly understood the terror of Ye Chen; under any other circumstances, he would not have the confidence to certainly kill Ye Chen.

But today, Ye Chen is undoubtedly doomed!

Upon hearing this, Wen Tianli slightly frowned. Although he had a bet with Ye Chen, he was also someone who cherished talents.

At this point, having recognized Ye Chen’s prowess, with his insight, he clearly understood the terrifying dominance of the Forbidden Spirit Body against lower-level existences, and the loss of such a peerless genius like Ye Chen would indeed be a considerable loss for the Divine Kingdom. He couldn’t help but ask:

”Do you wish to fight to the death?”

Ling Jiuxiao nodded: ”Correct.”

It wasn’t just Wen Tianli, the icy lady in the VIP Pavilion also slightly furrowed her brows, just as Ling Jiuxiao had anticipated, she indeed intended to recruit them both under her wing. However, after a moment of flashing eyes, Tu Lanxin did not seem intent on stopping it.

Because, in Tu Lanxin’s view, a martial artist’s growth requires following the Poisonous Gu Insect Path.

What is the Poisonous Gu Insect Path?

To place various toxic creatures with equal potential into the Gu, let them fight amongst themselves, survival of the fittest!

In the end, the one that lives, often achieves sublimation, transformation, unleashing their potential to the extreme, receiving true growth!
