The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 1071: A Coffin For You

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The rest, including Ruo Han and the genius disciples of the other three families, Wang Fang, Gu Lao, and Liu Yue, were still struggling to advance to the sixteenth and seventeenth steps. As for the other rogue alchemists, they had only just reached the tenth step. It was hard to imagine that Ye Chen had advanced so quickly.

“Eh? Why do I feel a little numb?”

Ye Chen ascended the thirty-second step and looked around. “Why do these clouds make me feel a little numb? Hmm… Forget it!”

His entire body shook, and the tyrannical blood energy turned into a blood mist that dispersed the clouds. He took a step up to the 33rd step!

With another step, he hopped onto the arena!

“He’s up!”

“He’s so fast. He reached the stage so quickly. How could this be?!”

“Too fast…”

Ruo Han, Luo Fang, Cui Yue, and the others looked at Ye Chen in surprise. They stared at Ye Chen’s figure and then looked back at themselves. They had yet to reach the twenty-fifth step.

“If Ye Chen can do it, why can’t I?”

Cui Yue quickly started walking again. More and more clouds gathered around him, and he felt like he was being eaten by ants and burned by fire!

He took a few quick steps and stepped onto the 31st step!

“Argh…”

Cui Yue screamed as he felt countless wild beasts gnawing at him. His face twisted in pain.

Bang!

The tyrannical cloud power was like a sledgehammer that struck Cui Yue’s body.

Cui Yue spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down the 30th step, 29th step… and finally stopped at the 20th step, and the burning and gnawing sensation reduced to a bearable level!

“Hmph, if you don’t have enough strength, you should just advance slowly. You tried to forcefully charge forward?”

“Even if you don’t die, you’ll be heavily injured!”

Alchemy Master Ling Yi had no sympathy for Cui Yue’s plight. Instead, he welcomed Ye Chen with a smile and whispered, “You’re here as expected. With your talent, you can suppress everyone!”

“I’ve prepared the Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill for you.” Alchemy Master Ling Yi patted Ye Chen’s shoulder lightly.

“I hope you can catch up to your senior brother Ye Shitian as soon as possible!”

“Alright.” Ye Chen nodded and walked to the center of the arena. His gaze swept across the other four Alchemy Masters and the heads of the five families. A smile spread across his lips. Finally, his gaze turned toward Cui Yuan. He asked calmly, “I wonder how the funerals have been going, Master Cui?”

“If you don’t have enough coffins, I can give you a few coffins for free.”

How arrogant!

He provoked Cui Yuan in public!

All the family heads and Alchemy Masters looked at Ye Chen incredulously. Luo Wuya thought to himself, ‘As expected of Ye Shitian’s junior brother. His courage is impressive!’

Pa!

Cui Yuan slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair he was sitting on and stared at Ye Chen through gritted teeth. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He then pointed at Ye Chen and said, “Little b*stard, don’t be so arrogant. If it wasn’t for the Alchemy Conference today, I would have torn you to pieces!”

“Really?”

“I’m looking forward to tearing the Cui family apart!”

Ye Chen did not care about Cui Yuan’s threat. He took out a few coffins and placed them on the arena. “Cui Yuan, don’t be angry. I’ve already prepared your coffin. It’s made of the lowest quality rotten wood. It’s suitable for you!”

“You!”

“Ye Chen, don’t go too far!”

Cui Yuan stood up, his heart burning with raging flames beneath his dark expression. He immediately cupped his fists toward Alchemy Master Xingtian and said, “Alchemy Master Xingtian, I request to fight Ye Chen. This kid insulted me and has gone way too far!”

“Ye Chen, you’re too arrogant! If I don’t take action to suppress you, my position as the head of a family has been in vain!

Alchemy Master Xingtian stood up. He had noticed Ye Chen earlier, and had been surprised by the fact that this kid actually dared to come to Danxu Town.

Since that was the case, he wanted to see what Ye Chen had up his sleeves.

Alchemy Master Xingtian waved his hand and put away the thirty cauldrons into his storage space. His entire body was burning with ghostly flames. A wisp of alchemy flames formed in his palm and flew out. They were as sharp as a heavenly knife as they split the arena into two sections.

“I allow you to fight. You can use this part of the arena for the time being!”

He looked at Ye Chen and snorted, thinking, ‘Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen, you little b*stard, do you think you’re Ye Shitian?’

‘With your puny strength, Cui Yuan can easily kill you!’

‘You’re asking for death by provoking Cui Yuan!’

‘Most importantly, with so many Alchemy Masters present, it’s impossible for Alchemy Master Ling Yi to protect you!’

“Thank you, Alchemy Master Xingtian!”

Cui Yuan’s lips curled into a devilish smile. Lightning sparks flickered on his fingertips and countless ice and lightning fragments condensed into an ice spear. Ice dragons appeared one after another as his terrifying killing intent swept out toward Ye Chen!

He held the ice spear and smiled. “Little b*stard, this date next year will be your death anniversary. You can keep these coffins for yourself! It just so happens that I want to kill you to pay homage to my dead child!”

“Wait!” Alchemy Master Ling Yi leaped in front of Cui Yuan. His fingertips flickered with green light that turned into a cloud that repelled Cui Yuan. His gaze was dignified as he said, “I am the chief judge. Without my permission, whoever dares to make a move will be killed without mercy!”

“Ling Yi!”

Alchemy Master Xingtian stood up abruptly and pointed at Ye Chen. “This little b*stard is looking for trouble. Why are you stopping him?! You should have seen the situation with your own eyes just now. Could it be that you really think that this Alchemy Conference is controlled by you alone?”

He took a deep breath and glared at Alchemy Master Ling Yi.

“It’s none of your business.” Alchemy Master Ling Yi was about to say something more when Ye Chen stepped forward and cupped his hands.

“Senior, I appreciate your kindness, but I started this matter, so I should end it!”

“Alchemy Master Ling Yi, since Cui Yuan is courting death, and I’ve prepared a coffin for him, please allow me to personally put him into it!”

“I’m afraid your cultivation level is no match for him,” Alchemy Master Ling Yi looked at Ye Chen and sent a voice transmission, “After the last incident, Cui Yuan has been in seclusion for many days and has prepared many trump cards. If you really fight, you might not be able to defeat him!”

“Don’t worry, this old man is no match for me,” Ye Chen replied as looked at Cui Yuan meaningfully. He then smiled and said, “You’re a seventh-level Daoyuan realm cultivator, yet all you can do is spout nonsense. Since that’s the case, I might as well kill you before the Alchemy Conference begins!”

Seventh-level Daoyuan realm?

The head of a family?

So what?

Ye Chen did not care about this fellow at all.

“Fine!”

Alchemy Master Ling Yi chose to believe Ye Chen. He faced the crowd and the young alchemists who had climbed up and said, “Now, the head of the Cui family, Cui Yuan, has challenged Ye Chen. I have given my permission. They will hold a martial arts competition in the arena. The rest of you shall wait at the edge of the arena!”
