The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2454: Chapter 2428: Xuanming Blood Axe (Three Updates)

This trust was almost beyond reason; if there had to be one, it was her love for Ye Chen.

She believed that if Ye Chen said he could do something, there was no doubt he would accomplish it, no matter how unimaginable the task. She would support him wholeheartedly!

At this moment, Elder Gu turned to Ye Chen and said, ”Ye Chen, you can call me Elder Gu. I have offended you with the matter before.”

Ye Chen glanced at Yin Ming; the fact that she had achieved her current level of cultivation indicated that Elder Gu genuinely devoted himself to teaching her. Ye Chen shook his head and replied,

”If it weren’t for Elder Gu, I wouldn’t have made a breakthrough myself. I might even have truly died. Since you have become Little Ming’s master, you are one of us now.”

Elder Gu laughed and said, ”Of course, I wouldn’t actually use Little Ming to threaten you. However, there is something I’d like to ask for your help with, and it would be to your benefit as well.”

Ye Chen nodded and said, ”Please speak freely. I will not refuse as long as it’s within my capability.”

”That’s understandable,” replied Elder Gu.

”By the way, since you’ve found your way here, you must have seen Di Ling! How is he doing?”

Ye Chen thought for a few seconds, then decided to tell Elder Gu about everything that had happened with the demon race.

Elder Gu sighed deeply, looking out of the house with a nostalgic expression, and began to tell a story from the past.

As it turned out, Elder Gu was once a peak-level expert of the Disaster Slaying realm and came from the top sect, Divine Extreme Sect!

However, during an event organized by the top-tier forces, he nearly lost his life. Although he managed to escape to this place using a secret technique, he had been asleep for too long, and his strength was almost impossible to recover. Once his cultivation reached the Sixth Level of Great Void, he hit a ceiling...

And his rival had now become a top-notch strong man in the Divine Kingdom. Elder Gu could not even think of returning to his sect, nor could he appear among the major forces; he could only live incognito.

Suddenly, he took out an unusual crystal stone and handed it to Ye Chen, saying, ”Ye Chen, this is my Life Soul Stone, a treasure. Actually, my identity back then was not simple; I even had free access to the forbidden area of Divine Extreme Sect!

To recover my physical body, I need to retrieve the precaution I left behind in the forbidden area. With this Soul Stone, if you happen to visit Divine Extreme Sect, you should be able to enter the forbidden area once. That forbidden area is a Divine Devil Pond connected to the Outer Realm, extremely effective for strengthening a martial artist’s physical body and power.

And I survived because of the life-saving thing I left in the Divine Devil Pond. However, now if I want to recover my body, I need to take that life-saving thing out and merge it with my body.”

Ye Chen took the Soul Stone and nodded, ”So, does this mean I need to join Divine Extreme Sect?”

Elder Gu smiled and shook his head, ”No matter which top-tier force you join, it’s fine. The major forces often have opportunities to interact and learn from each other. I’ve been to not only the Ten Great Sects in the past but even many top-tier families and the Divine Alliance.”

”However, if you want to enter the Divine Devil Pond, it’s best to wait until your cultivation is higher. And remember, as beneficial as the Divine Devil Pond may be, even if your constitution is strong, you probably won’t be able to withstand the terrifying energy inside for too long, so be sure to leave early!”

Ye Chen smiled noncommittally at these words; what he feared the least was immense energy!

The pool of divine blood from the Burning Sky Family was the perfect example.

But clearly, the energy of the Divine Devil Pond that Elder Gu spoke of far surpassed that of the divine blood area.

Ye Chen then asked Elder Gu, ”Elder Gu, do you know about the Dragonheart Fruit?”

After all, it concerned Chu Ying’s resurrection.

”Dragonheart Fruit?” Elder Gu shook his head. ”I don’t have it. That thing is too rare. But I do know who has one!”

Ye Chen’s eyes lit up!

”If I remember correctly, the old fellow from Divine Alliance who presides over the selection contest every time has one! However, it won’t be easy to get it from him.”

Ye Chen frowned and asked, ”I heard that if you become the champion of the selection contest, Divine Alliance offers a gift?”

Elder Gu nodded and said, ”Yes, but even so, it’s unlikely he’d give up the Dragonheart Fruit.”

Ye Chen’s expression turned serious, ”Is there any way? This matter is very important to me.”

Elder Gu pondered for a moment and then suddenly smiled, ”That man has a weakness, he likes to make bets! If you can provoke him into making a wager with you, he might even use the Dragonheart Fruit as a stake. Though he’s a gambler, he has always been honest and never goes back on his bets.”

Joy appeared on Ye Chen’s face, and his heart felt a little lighter!

...

The next day, the largest Battle Arena under Mang Mountain in Mang City was filled with a buzz of voices.

Many people were discussing today’s competition.

A man asked his companion, ”I heard Mr. Wu is going to compete against someone? Do you know who it is?”

”According to my sources, it seems to be a warrior from the Lingwu Continent!”

The man showed a disdainful expression and said, ”A Lingwu Warrior? Haha, Mr. Wu is the top genius of Mang City; aren’t all warriors from Lingwu Continent weak? How dare they challenge Mr. Wu?”

Another person added, ”I thought we’d witness the brilliance of the top genius with Mr. Wu’s participation. Seems like we came here for nothing. Such trash could probably be killed by a mere breath from Mr. Wu, right?”

”Heh, that’s not all I heard. This piece of trash even dared to compete with Mr. Wu over a woman? You know, Mr. Wu has always been very particular about women. Today, even death might be a luxury for this piece of trash. We should have a good show to watch.”

Many in the stands let out cruel laughter, having no faith whatsoever in Ye Chen. They were just preparing to enjoy a bloody massacre, a feast of blood!

What they wanted to see wasn’t even the fight anymore. The outcome of this battle was predetermined, wasn’t it?

What they wanted to see was Ye Chen beg for mercy, cry out in despair!

At this moment, Ye Chen and Wu Gaisan had already stepped into the arena.

Today, Wu Gaisan was not wielding his usual large axe but was carrying a bizarre battle axe that was entirely black with many blood-red patterns engraved on it!

Ye Chen looked at the axe, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. This axe seemed to oppress him subtly!

The level of this battle axe was incredibly high, even surpassing that of a Great Void Sacred Weapon!

The crowd couldn’t help but start murmuring to each other.

”Isn’t that the clan’s treasure of the Wu Family, the Xuanming Blood Axe?”

”Do they need to use such an item against a piece of Lingwu trash?”
