The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2140: One Versus Three

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen had not yet arrived. However, when the three top core disciples appeared, there was a loud burst of exclamations.

”I did not expect the challengers to be the top three core disciples,” one disciple said. He had never imagined this would happen.

The top three core disciples of the Divine Sword Palace were the strongest disciples within the Divine Sword Palace. Each of them had already reached the peak of the Star Aperture realm, and were not far away from advancing to the Sealed Gate realm.

Even if the twelve masters were to face these three individuals, they might not be able to emerge victorious unharmed. These three individuals represented the true geniuses of the Divine Sword Palace. They were also popular candidates for future peak masters and sect master.

Furthermore, Kong Xiang, the top-ranked core disciple among them, had once been accepted by one of the four mysterious academies in Lingwu Continent, known as Divine Wind Academy. However, he had rejected the offer without hesitation.

”I truly do not understand what the sect master is thinking. He wants the three of us to confront a Creation realm expert together,” said a disciple with snow-white hair and a blue shirt, who was holding a feather in his mouth. This individual was Lan Yu, ranked second among the core disciples.

Next to Lan Yu stood a man dressed in black. He had a cold expression on his face as he remained still like a statue. Yue Hai held a sword in his hand, and there was a gentle light in his eyes, as if this sword were his beloved partner.

The three core disciples walked up to the arena stage and waited quietly.

When Ye Chen and Wang Chuan arrived, Wang Chuan happened to catch sight of the three core disciples on the training field. Instantly, he was filled with rage.

”Are those not the top three among the core disciples?”

Though Wang Chuan understood that the sect master would deliberately target Ye Chen, he did not expect it to be so blatant.

”No, I must go and speak to the sect master!”

Wang Chuan could no longer contain the anger in his heart. If this continued, he felt he might explode with frustration.

”Master, I am fine!”

Ye Chen grasped Wang Chuan’s arm, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Ye Chen still held respect for his unorthodox master.

After much persuasion, Ye Chen finally convinced Wang Chuan to refrain from causing trouble for the sect master.

This time, all twelve peak masters had gathered to set up a barrier for his challenge. This was to prevent the aura of the battle from affecting the other disciples.

In less than a few days, Ye Chen’s actions had become increasingly bold. Even the masters felt a bit conflicted in their hearts. They were curious to see if Ye Chen could defeat the three top core disciples, even though they knew the chances were slim.

What they were most eager to discover was Ye Chen’s true combat ability.

When Ye Chen had first entered the ranks of core disciples, he had not seemed to use all of his strength. This time, with the top three core disciples attacking together, it would surely allow Ye Chen to unleash his true power.

This was what they were most eager to witness!

Although Wang Chuan had agreed to Ye Chen’s request, he was still filled with indignation. He angrily went over to the spectator stand.

The twelve masters understood the reason behind Wang Chuan’s anger, so no one dared to provoke him.

Everyone was aware that they had pulled a fast one on Wang Chuan after their earlier promise.

When they reflected on it, they realized it had been a significant mistake. Had they known that Ye Chen would become a core disciple so quickly, they would have advised Ye Chen to wait two or three years before entering the Sword Forbidden Land.

Ye Chen walked up to the arena stage. When he appeared, waves of cheers erupted.

During this time, Ye Chen’s popularity in the Divine Sword Palace had soared.

”One Sword King!”

”One Sword King!”

The cheers were deafening. Ye Chen had not expected to be so well-liked.

As Ye Chen stood on the arena stage, his gaze was fixed upon the three core disciples in front of him. When he observed one of them, his eyes narrowed slightly. Kong Xiang’s strength had indeed reached the Sealed Gate realm, but he had been concealing his true abilities.

Moreover, Kong Xiang’s presence radiated a cold and dangerous aura.

”It appears that the Divine Sword Palace is indeed shrouded in mystery. There are not many core disciples who have reached the Sealed Gate realm throughout the entire Lingwu Continent.”

”Just now, I heard from below that this individual rejected Divine Wind Academy’s invitation. Furthermore, the sect master has not revealed his true strength.”

”This Divine Sword Palace likely harbors a significant secret.”

”However, is this secret truly related to Feng Qingyang’s Six Paths Sword Case?”

Ye Chen took out a wooden sword and directed his attention towards the three of them.

In the palace of the Divine Sword Sect, a mirror stood beside Jian Jiuhan, displaying the scene playing out on the arena stage.

This time, the intention was to have the three top core disciples battle against Ye Chen in order to ascertain his true strength.

On the arena stage, Kong Xiang and the other two drew their swords and gazed at Ye Chen.

”Are you certain you still wish to use that wooden sword?”

”In the Divine Sword Palace, you will perish if you insult the sword.”

A cold voice rang out.

”I am accustomed to using wooden swords,” Ye Chen replied with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, three deadly intents instantly locked onto Ye Chen.

Although the battle had yet to commence, the disciples of the Divine Sword Palace could sense an oppressive aura beginning to spread.

Ye Chen gripped his wooden sword and charged forward.

The moment he rushed forward, Kong Xiang and the other two moved into action.

One of them attacked from the front while the other two disciples took to the air.

Although they felt that using three people to confront Ye Chen was somewhat excessive, they knew they needed to exert their full strength rather than act based on pride.

Ye Chen charged forward like a sharp sword. The wooden sword in his hand emanated a terrifying aura.

The aura of his Immortal Sword Essence gushed forth from the wooden sword, and sword energy surged wildly. The wooden sword in Ye Chen’s hand rose and fell as he slashed abruptly.

Whoosh!

A streak of sword energy flashed toward Kong Xiang. To Ye Chen, Kong Xiang posed the greatest threat, so he decided to confront Kong Xiang first before dealing with the other two.

With this determination, Ye Chen dashed toward Kong Xiang, completely ignoring Lan Yu and Yue Hai.

If he employed the wooden sword along with his own techniques, he would not feel overly pressured when facing the three of them. However, he could not allow his true identity to be revealed just yet.

”Divine blood essence, Gengjin energy,” Ye Chen muttered to himself as the aura surrounding him intensified.

He did not dare to be overly careless with these three individuals. After all, they possessed the capability to fight above their level.

The sword energy surged toward Kong Xiang, who calmly blocked it with the sword in his hand.

At that moment, Lan Yu and Yue Hai rushed in from behind, and terrifying sword essence radiated from behind Ye Chen.

The moment Ye Chen turned around, he swung his sword downward.

Boom!

A sharp sword beam suddenly surged forth, and he quickly pulled away from Kong Xiang.

While retreating, he sheathed his wooden sword and launched a punch.

Lan Yu had not anticipated that Ye Chen, who had just retreated, would attack so suddenly.

With no choice left, Lan Yu braced himself to take Ye Chen’s punch head-on. Immediately, he felt his churning, and nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lan Yu looked at Ye Chen in astonishment.

Ye Chen’s physical strength was remarkably powerful!
