The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2453: Chapter 2427: Believe! (Part 2)

He couldn’t help but turn his gaze toward Ye Chen, the corners of his mouth curling into a sneer as he said, ”Kid, I’ve heard that your strength is incredibly terrifying. So, why don’t you stop hiding behind the old man like a cowardly turtle? Can’t you, like a man, step forward, huh? Do you even deserve Xiao Ming, with your gutlessness?”

In Wu Gaisan’s mind, having repelled Elder Gu in one strike and displayed his terrifying power, this garbage from the Sealed Gate must be scared stiff, right? He could only endure the humiliation, and would Yin Ming even continue to like such a loser?

He would soon come to realize the harsh reality.

But who would have thought that, in the next moment, Ye Chen would speak indifferently: ”Xiao Ming, is that what you call her?”

Silence, utter silence.

No one expected Ye Chen to dare speak to Wu Gaisan like that.

Especially after Wu Gaisan had shown his strength?

Madness! Absolute madness!

Even Wu Gaisan couldn’t believe his eyes as he stared at Ye Chen. Was this guy really not afraid of death?

Then came the rage, boundless rage!

Was he, the pride of the Wu Family, the super-monstrous talent with unlimited prospects, actually being contradicted by trash not even worth stepping on?

Wu Gaisan’s eyes turned blood-red, his murderous intent boiling over as he said, ”Very good, excellent! Kid, do you truly have no fear of death?”

Ye Chen replied calmly, ”Death? I don’t know if I’m afraid, but you, you don’t have the qualifications to kill me.”

”Hahaha!” Wu Gaisan laughed wildly, his face covered in bulging veins, his bloodline surging!

This waste sure knew how to talk, knew how to infuriate people, make them want to crush him dead!

”In that case, a duel to the death tomorrow, do you dare accept?”

Upon hearing this, Yin Ming said anxiously, ”Ye Chen! Don’t agree to it!”

Elder Gu also advised, ”Kid, don’t be impulsive!”

In his eyes, Ye Chen’s potential was greater than Wu Gaisan’s. Given time, Ye Chen would certainly catch up with Wu Gaisan, but not now.

Ye Chen fell silent.

Upon seeing this, the disdain on Wu Gaisan’s face grew even thicker as he jeered:

”What’s the matter? Scared? Lost your voice? Weren’t you just acting tough? Huh? Can only blabber and bluster? When it’s time for an actual confrontation, do you shrivel up? Trash? Keep calling?”

The reason he provoked Ye Chen to accept the duel tomorrow was to avoid conflict with Elder Gu today. With the selection contest imminent, Wu Gaisan could not allow himself to be injured at such a critical juncture!

Also, he did not want to bear a reputation of oppressing the weak before the contest. Therefore, setting the duel to the death in front of everyone was the best way to go; no one could object.

As for Ye Chen? He didn’t have the slightest chance of hurting him.

However, Ye Chen paid no heed to Wu Gaisan, instead turning to Elder Gu to ask, ”How powerful is their family?”

Elder Gu frowned slightly upon hearing this but still answered, ”You must be wary. It is said that within their clan, there is one at the mid-stage of Disaster Slaying, two at the early stage of Disaster Slaying, and several at the sixth-level Supreme Emperor realm!”

Ye Chen nodded slightly, his eyes flickering. Wu Gaisan? He was not afraid, but he had to consider the man’s family backing him.

Ye Chen could throw caution to the wind if he were alone, but he did not want to drag Yin Ming into this, and he had no time to waste on struggling with powers now.

Upon seeing this, Wu Gaisan couldn’t help but sneer, ”Trash, are you still pretending? Quite the actor, aren’t you? Too scared to accept the challenge, so now you’re bringing up my family to make excuses? Ha, just admit that you’re scared. Kneel down now, shine my shoes, and maybe I’ll consider sparing your life. How about it, you monstrous prodigy of the Lingwu Continent?”

”Acting?” Ye Chen suddenly raised his hand and a scroll floated between them.

He gazed at Wu Gaisan with not the slightest intention of evasion, ”Do you really think you’re worthy of my performance? I’ve said it before, you’re not qualified to scare me, let alone to make me act. Frog in a well, don’t mistake yourself for a real dragon. Your confidence is nothing but a clown’s farcical performance to me.”

Without waiting for Wu Gaisan to speak, Ye Chen pointed to the scroll and said indifferently, ”I don’t like to shout, nor do I like to hear you shout. If you want to fight then enough with the noise.

This is a Soul Contract. The terms are that after the life-and-death duel, no further revenge can be sought using power. Sign your name, and I will fight you!”

The Soul Contract, obtained from the storage bags of many Divine Kingdom Elders from their last venture to the Endless Sea, held a high martial technique grade, and possessed a strong binding effect even on martial artists of the Disaster Slaying realm.

Yin Ming and Elder Gu were both shocked and dismayed upon hearing this, their minds going blank!

Was Ye Chen actually going to accept Wu Gaisan’s challenge to a life-and-death duel?

To challenge the Sixth Layer of Great Void with Sealed Gate Sect Cultivation?

Unheard of since ancient times! It nearly surpassed legend!

In anyone’s eyes, this was a fight with an inevitable outcome!

Wu Gaisan, with eyes full of fury—as though they could ignite, forcefully suppressed the impulse to strike and left his Soul Mark on the Soul Contract. Then, sneering at Ye Chen, he said, ”Fine, I’ll give you credit for your act. But I wonder, in tomorrow’s life-and-death duel, will you be able to keep it up?

Since you’ve signed the Soul Contract, you won’t be able to flee from battle now, will you? Heh, I hope you won’t disappoint me. Keep up the act until your last breath!”

With that, he glared fiercely at Ye Chen, then turned and left Mang Mountain Villa with Wu Bo.

After Wu Gaisan left, Elder Gu shook his head and said, ”Young man, you’re too impulsive.”

Ye Chen looked at Elder Gu, his expression softening a bit. From Elder Gu’s recent actions and Yin Ming’s attitude towards him, it was clear he really regarded Yin Ming as his own disciple and was not merely using her as a bargaining chip to threaten Ye Chen, as he initially claimed.

Right then, Ye Chen felt a warmth in his arms as Yin Ming’s soft body suddenly flung into his embrace, holding him tightly and without uttering a word for a long time.

Ye Chen felt Yin Ming’s shoulders trembling slightly, as if she were crying. Gently patting her beautifully contoured back, he comforted her, ”Little Ming, it’s okay, trust me.”

”In the Divine Kingdom, there are probably only the two of us from Mystic Moon Sect left. We can’t embarrass our sect!”

As he spoke, a glint of cold light flickered in his eyes, ”What of the Sixth Level of Great Void? A division of realms never represents true strength!”

Dare to harm his woman and attempt to leave her in mortal peril?

Such a person, wouldn’t it be unfair to himself to let them live?

Yin Ming removed her veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful face and looked at Ye Chen with dewy, hopeful eyes, asking, ”Really?”

Ye Chen smiled and said, ”Have I ever lied to you?”

Although worry still colored Yin Ming’s eyes, a smile emerged. Rationality told her that Ye Chen was no match for Wu Gaisan, not just no match but would be defeated miserably!

But rather than rationality, she chose to believe Ye Chen’s words!

She chose to believe in her man, Yin Ming’s man!
