The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2714: Chapter 2688: Shocking! (Five More Updates)

Yu Zhenzi’s gaze sharpened as he made up his mind. No matter what, he had to persuade Ye Chen. Just as he was about to speak, a sudden explosion resounded from outside the mountain gate of the Divine Extreme Sect!

The entire Divine Mountain shook violently!

Exclamations of shock from countless disciples rose one after another!

Everyone exchanged glances, seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes!

They knew... Someone had shattered the protective barrier of the Divine Extreme Sect!

It must be noted that after Tu Lanxin returned from the Divine Kingdom Convention this time, numerous rare materials from various Divine Kingdoms were exchanged—many of which had been used to reinforce the sect’s protective formation!

Now, unless one wielded unimaginable, terrifying power, it would be utterly impossible to shake this formation! Even martial artists at the late fourth or fifth levels of the Chaos Realm would struggle!

And yet, just now, with only a single strike, the opponent had punctured the entire formation?

Before anyone could react, a figure strolled boldly into the grand hall, wearing a casual smile, exuding a completely unrestrained demeanor!

This person was none other than Zhao Gu, the disciple of Bai Yuhuang, the Hall Master of the Dragon Suppressing Palace and an Ancient Divine Body prodigy!

Yu Zhenzi sternly demanded, ”Who are you! How dare you act so brazenly and trespass in my Divine Extreme Sect!”

Yet, in his eyes, a trace of shock could not be hidden. This young man, who looked valiant and tall with a slightly tanned complexion, was someone who had just stepped into the Chaos Realm!

And he was only a few years old!

In the youth’s eyes, a faint green radiance flickered. Clearly, he was an Ancient Divine Body prodigy!

In that instant, Tu Lanxin’s figure flashed. Her cold, beautiful eyes carried an icy sharpness as she positioned herself in front of Zhao Gu, her aura faintly emanating!

Zhao Gu’s pupils contracted, and his expression shifted slightly as he halted his steps, a look of alarm surfacing in his eyes!

The cold and radiant woman before him turned out to be a mid-late Chaos Realm expert!

With his cultivation level and Ancient Divine Body, even unleashing his full power would leave him unable to fight her!

If they truly engaged in combat, he might be no match for this woman!

Immediately, Zhao Gu paused his steps and smiled faintly, saying, ”Everyone, calm down, calm down. I am merely the disciple of the Dragon Suppressing Palace Hall Master, and I’ve come today...”

He trailed off, looking at the crowd in the hall, noting their reactions upon hearing the name ”Dragon Suppressing Palace,” and a touch of smugness crossed his face. He continued, ”I’ve come here on behalf of my master to deliver a warning to Young Master Ye Chen of the Divine Extreme Sect.”

Ye Chen stared expressionlessly at Zhao Gu and asked, ”I am Ye Chen. What is the warning?”

”You’re Ye Chen?”

Zhao Gu looked at Ye Chen, realizing that the man before him was merely a Disaster Slaying Expert, and a thick trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes!

No wonder Ye Chen had vanished from attention in recent months!

Heh, with strength like this, what could it amount to in the current Divine Kingdom?

The once unparalleled genius had now become nothing at all!

What a waste for his master to trouble himself over someone like this and to even bother fighting him in a life-and-death duel?

Still, Zhao Gu waved his hand, tossing a scarlet token toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen caught the red token, his gaze flickering slightly. On the token, a giant character for ”Battle” was inscribed!

Zhao Gu said coldly, ”My master, Bai Yuhuang, the Hall Master of the Dragon Suppressing Palace, challenges you to meet him twenty days from now at the Peak of Myriad Gods for a life-and-death battle!”

”This is a war declaration! It is also a spirit contract! If you accept, leave your Divine Soul Seal on the spirit contract!”

”Oh, right, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten the half-year agreement you proposed during the Divine Light Ceremony.”

”Of course, you can refuse now as well.”

”After all, the gap between you and my master is like a chasm as vast as the heavens.”

A hint of amusement crossed Zhao Gu’s face as he watched, curious about Ye Chen’s response. He knew this spirit contract was of the highest grade. Once signed, even a Chaos Realm expert who broke the agreement would face devastating repercussions, even if they didn’t die!

Within the hall, Yu Zhenzi and the others were struck dumb with disbelief, their faces reflecting shock and urgency!

Bai Yuhuang had just broken into the next stage, and he couldn’t wait to force Ye Chen into a life-and-death battle?

How many years had he cultivated, and how many had Ye Chen?

And on the Peak of Myriad Gods—in a life-and-death duel!

Shameless! Absolutely shameless!

All eyes turned toward Ye Chen. They saw that his expression remained calm as he gazed at the war token in his hand. It seemed... he had no intention of refusing?

What? What was he thinking?

Could Ye Chen seriously be considering accepting the challenge?

The spectators’ eyes trembled at the thought of Ye Chen’s pride, and their hearts sank!

Knowing Ye Chen’s personality, he truly might accept such a life-and-death battle!

After all, it was he who first proposed the agreement!

Even the ever-cold Tu Lanxin was unable to remain composed at this moment!

Without hesitation, the sage-like elder appeared in front of Ye Chen, shouting anxiously, ”Ye Chen, refuse him! Don’t do something so foolish!”

”Pretend we never heard anything during the Divine Light Ceremony!”

”Furthermore, there are laws in the Divine Kingdom—duels between juniors and seniors are invalid!”

”Senior masters cannot challenge juniors!”

Yu Zhenzi also sternly urged, ”Ye Chen! What are you waiting for? Return the war token to this boy!”

Seeing no reaction from Ye Chen, he grew slightly irritated and scolded, ”Ye Chen! If you still consider me your master, don’t accept this life-and-death battle!”

Ye Chen was the pride of their Divine Extreme Sect, someone who could make their sect’s name resound throughout the Divine Kingdom!

Even if it meant the entire Divine Extreme Sect’s destruction, even if it meant Yu Zhenzi’s death a thousand or ten thousand times, they could not allow anything to happen to Ye Chen!

As long as Ye Chen remained alive, the Divine Extreme Sect would never perish!

Tu Lanxin watched Ye Chen’s indifferent demeanor, a flicker of anger and deep disappointment flashing through her enchanting eyes—a disappointment born of frustration and dismay!

She suddenly moved before Ye Chen, her icy, stunning face flushed with frustration. She angrily reprimanded him, ”Ye Chen! Have you forgotten what you promised me? Have you forgotten what I told you before entering the Divine Origin Secret Realm?”

”I know you are strong, that you defy the heavens, even among the First Divine Country, you are an unparalleled genius! But Bai Yuhuang is now a master-level expert of the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace! That level of power is not something you can contend with!”

”Until you truly come into your own, you must not provoke such beings! Accepting this life-and-death battle would mean walking to your death!”

”You promised me to take up the responsibility of saving the Divine Kingdom! If you can’t even take responsibility for your own life, how can you shoulder the responsibility of saving the Divine Kingdom?”

”I know you’re proud, but pride must be situational—it can’t be without limits. That is not pride; it’s recklessness! Acting out of impulsiveness, how can you accomplish great things? How can the Divine Kingdom rely on you?”

As she spoke, her chest rose and fell slightly, betraying her agitation.

Yu Zhenzi and the others were stunned...

They had never seen Tu Lanxin so agitated over someone...

Zhao Gu nearly burst out laughing!

How amusing, absolutely hilarious!

Narrowing his eyes slightly, he suppressed his laughter and said, ”Young Master Ye, whether or not you accept is entirely up to you. However...”

His eyes gleamed with icy malice as his voice turned three shades colder, and he barked vehemently, ”If you refuse, my Dragon Suppressing Palace will level your Divine Extreme Sect in the coming days!”
