The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2718: Chapter 2692: Defies the Heavens! (One more)

Qu Xueyong cast a horrified glance at Ji Siqing beneath her veil.

Although he had recently become Ji Siqing’s puppet,

handling anything inconvenient for her to deal with personally,

he still could not figure out the extent of Qu Chenyan’s strength in this lifetime.

Not even with his Chaos Realm vision could he perceive her true capabilities.

In her previous life, their ancestor had followed the Samsara Master and cultivated the most top-tier cultivation methods in existence.

Even though she was still young in this lifetime, the martial arts world was never measured by age!

He believed that since their ancestor had spoken with such confidence, there must be absolute justification and certainty behind her words!

Therefore, if Bai Yuhuang dared to make a move against Ye Chen in advance,

he would sacrifice everything in the Qu Family to protect Ye Chen.

His peripheral vision swept to the young man seated in the great hall, and his heart was deeply shaken—beyond words.

To bring a coffin to Bai Yuhuang’s celebration?

What sheer audacity!

A blatant disregard for life!

Qu Xueyong was not the only one with such a reaction; all the guests in attendance shared the same outrage!

What irked them most was their efforts to curry favor with Bai Yuhuang—

to flatter and please him to their utmost!

And Ye Chen? He directly and utterly disregarded Bai Yuhuang’s dignity!

Did that not turn their attempts into an absolute mockery?

Like a preposterous joke?

Ye Chen sneered coldly: ”Gentlemen, do not misunderstand. This is my heartfelt congratulation for Hall Master Bai—may he rise in rank and fortune!”

Ye Chen had always been the kind of person who repaid kindness tenfold but retaliated against slights a hundredfold!

Zhao Gu of the Dragon Suppressing Palace dared act so arrogantly?

Come to Divine Extreme Sect with a war declaration, breaking through the protection formation?

Brag shamelessly before Divine Extreme Sect’s senior members?

Threaten to level my sect?

Then, in return, on Bai Yuhuang’s grand celebration, I bring a coffin!

Let the martial artists of the Divine Kingdom’s upper echelons see what ”gift” I, Ye Chen, have prepared for him!

Bai Yuhuang’s expression at this moment was frostier than ice; veins throbbed wildly on his forehead, and his eyes were bloodshot!

The killing intent radiating from him could barely be contained!

Just moments prior, he was on top of the world with his celebration going smoothly, only for Ye Chen to suddenly deliver a coffin?

Who could endure such humiliation?

At that moment, Lin Sheng slammed a hand onto the table and bellowed at Ye Chen: ”Where did this insolent fool come from! How dare you bring a coffin to Hall Master Bai’s celebration? Get out of here!”

For him, who had failed to present a fitting gift earlier, this was an excellent opportunity to prove himself!

The crowd froze for a brief second before grasping the situation. Then, representatives of various major powers erupted into furious shouts toward Ye Chen:

”Kneel down and apologize to Hall Master Bai!”

”Ye Chen, take that coffin back to your own house. What’s the purpose of disgracing yourself here?”

”Haha, once a so-called genius, and now you’ve become nothing more than a clown?”

”Weren’t you supposed to be some legendary peerless genius? At the Disaster Slaying realm, you’d barely qualify as a servant-disciple in our sect!”

...

At that moment, Xuanyuan Cang, who had been quietly drinking with an air of indifference, stood from his seat and walked toward Bai Yuhuang.

Instantly, the hall fell silent. Everyone instinctively shut their mouths and turned their eyes toward Xuanyuan Cang.

Xuanyuan Cang smiled at Bai Yuhuang and said, ”Uncle Bai, with your recent breakthrough and even awakening the fabled power of the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace, your martial mastery must have reached incredible heights, hasn’t it?”

Bai Yuhuang looked at Xuanyuan Cang with some confusion and asked, ”Nephew, what do you mean by this?”

Xuanyuan Cang turned and fixed his cold, venomous gaze on Ye Chen before speaking, ”It’s rare to have the top-tier martial artists of the Divine Kingdom gathered here today, and I’ve heard rumors of a certain so-called genius. Haha, why don’t we have a demonstration here? It could liven up the celebration while also allowing Uncle Bai to give us some guidance in martial arts. What do you say?”

”A demonstration?”

Bai Yuhuang’s lips curled into a sly smile. He instantly understood Xuanyuan Cang’s implication and nodded. ”Very well, let there be a demonstration!”

Xuanyuan Cang sneered cruelly as spiritual energy surged around his body. His Chaos Realm aura exploded violently. Casting a glance at the coffin, his eyes flashed with icy brilliance, and with a thunderous crash, the coffin disintegrated into dust under the sheer pressure of his aura!

He turned to Ye Chen with a frigid smile and said mockingly, ”Haha, the Divine Extreme Sect? I’ve heard that your sect’s martial artists are always exceptionally arrogant. Young Master Ye? Based on what I’ve seen today, you certainly live up to that reputation.”

”However, I wonder if your arrogance has any basis?”

His tone turned glacial as he declared, ”Xuanyuan Cang of the Xuanyuan Family wishes to challenge Divine Extreme Sect and witness your high-level skills!”

The look in Xuanyuan Cang’s eyes as he stared at Ye Chen was filled with disdain and contempt!

Ye Chen? Perhaps he might have been a genius once upon a time.

But that was long ago!

To Xuanyuan Cang, Ye Chen was now nothing more than a pathetic failure!

Dominate the Divine Kingdom during the Divine Light Ceremony?

The Xuanyuan Family’s Xuanyuan Jing had also shone as a dazzling prodigy during the Divine Light Ceremony, earning him the pride of the entire Xuanyuan Family!

Back in the Xuanyuan Family, he had been a figure of immense prestige and respect, someone no one dared to offend!

But now?

After awakening the Ancient Divine Body following the ”Moon with Jade Ring,” his own strength had soared to unparalleled heights!

The first thing he had done was challenge Xuanyuan Jing!

Xuanyuan Jing’s pride?

Under his hands, it couldn’t even withstand a single blow!

In his eyes, Xuanyuan Jing was now no better than a dog!

And how does a dog live? Of course, by tucking its tail between its legs!

Thus, the type of person he despised—the kind he found utterly repugnant—

was someone like Ye Chen: a genius of the past who no longer held any standing, already trampled by rising stars, yet still refusing to recognize his station and clinging to his arrogance!

Such individuals were an insult to his very essence!

Not long ago, he had even visited the Heavenly Dao Palace and received an audience with Xuanyuan Moxie!

His confidence now knew no bounds.

Ye Chen gave Xuanyuan Cang a calm glance and said flatly, ”You... are unworthy to face me in battle.”

The crowd’s laughter almost burst forth from their eyes upon hearing this!

Ye Chen, even now, still putting on an act? Could he maintain this charade?

”Unworthy?” Xuanyuan Cang’s eyes burned with growing rage. ”I am the Xuanyuan Family’s foremost genius, and you dare claim I am unworthy to fight a lowly dog?”

With that, he flipped his wrist, summoning a Dragonslayer Sword that radiated with bloody brilliance. The Chaos Realm aura surged skyward, and in an instant, Xuanyuan Cang’s figure seemed to tower immeasurably taller in the eyes of those present!

Like a god descending upon the earth, his presence filled many martial artists from third-rate and second-rate sects with an overwhelming, invincible oppression, forcing them to the brink of collapse!

”Zhenxiao Thirteen Swords!”

Xuanyuan Cang roared ferociously and struck with blazing wrath, his sword intent raging wildly in all directions. Numerous martial artists from second-rate and third-rate sects coughed up blood and stumbled back in terror under the sheer force of his sword intent!

This sword qi—how terrifying!

It was truly heaven-defying!
