Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 1564: Chapter 1561: Tearing Off the Mask

Xu Wendong, with a hazy drunken smile, waved his hand carelessly. His demeanor appeared carefree and uninhibited, but actually carried a hint of laziness and casualness born from drinking: ”It’s merely a spatial magic treasure, hardly worth mentioning, truly not worth mentioning.”

His words, though seemingly unconcerned with the precious spatial magic treasure, subtly hinted at something else, making it difficult to grasp his true thoughts.

Wang Tong stood nearby, his face full of seemingly kind smiles. He said with a cheerful tone, ”Young Master Xu, just take it out and let us have a look!”

His tone had a touch of pleading, mixed with a barely perceptible urgency.

”Hiccup!”

Xu Wendong gave a drunken hiccup, and a flash of displeasure crossed his previously tranquil face, as if someone had touched a sensitive nerve.

He slightly furrowed his brow, his eyes revealing a trace of wariness and dissatisfaction, saying: ”What if I don’t want to take it out?”

At that moment, it was as if an invisible force suddenly oppressed the atmosphere, making it exceptionally stifling.

The originally lively atmosphere vanished without a trace, replaced by a deathly silence.

The surrounding was eerily quiet, as if even the air had frozen. Only the slightly heavy breathing of the crowd slowly flowed in the air.

The air was filled with tension, tightly wrapping around everyone, making it feel as though they were in the eye of an impending storm.

Just then, at that dangerously tense moment.

Zhen Jing stood up without hesitation.

His eyes shimmered with a determined light, a glow that revealed a resolute courage, as if he was ready to face anything.

He resolutely positioned himself in front of Xu Wendong, as if building a solid defensive wall with his body for Xu Wendong.

He lowered his voice, speaking softly yet filled with power and resolve: ”Young Master Xu, you must flee. They intend to kill you and take your spatial magic treasure!”

This action shocked everyone present.

Whether it was Xu Wendong’s group or Liu Yuansong’s, their gazes uniformly showed astonishment.

It’s well known that there was a tangled and complex past between Xu Wendong and Zhen Jing.

Xu Wendong had actually stolen Zhen Jing’s daoist couple, an enmity of such magnitude that would be irreconcilable for anyone.

Zhen Jing had always harbored hatred towards Xu Wendong, wishing to dismember him to avenge his stolen spouse.

Yet, at this critical life-and-death moment, Zhen Jing’s unexpected move was truly beyond comprehension.

”Husband, why are you doing this?”

Song Ziwei’s eyes were filled with complex emotions - confusion, surprise, and an indescribable touch of emotion.

She looked at Zhen Jing, as if wanting to penetrate his soul and explore his true inner thoughts.

Even though they were once spouses, she couldn’t figure out her husband’s inner thoughts.

A single ”Husband” caused Zhen Jing’s eyes to instantly overflow with deep love.

That love, like warm sunlight, illuminated his entire face, softening his originally firm features.

His face also revealed a gratified expression, as if in that moment, all his actions received the most precious reward.

His gaze was firm as a rock, without a hint of wavering, slowly saying: ”Wife, since you chose to follow Young Master Xu, I naturally respect your decision. I don’t want to see you sorrowful and hurt should Young Master Xu be killed!”

His words were filled with deep affection and tolerance, moving people with his love for Song Ziwei.

”Nor do I wish to be an ungrateful person.” continued Zhen Jing, his gaze grew deeper, as if lost in memories.

”After all, Young Master Xu saved our lives. If not for him bravely stepping forward and repaying enmity with kindness, we would have been eaten by the otherworldly demon long ago!”

Though spoken softly, his voice was filled with strength, each word struck heavily at the heart of everyone present.

His resolve and responsibility shook everyone present.

In this moment, his image became incredibly grand, displaying a transcendence of hatred and a noble quality of upholding justice and gratitude.

”Zhen Jing, you think you can block Senior Han and Shadow Senior?”

Wang Tong was furious, his face twisted with anger, the previously gentle-looking features turned into a terrifying grin.

Zhen Jing’s betrayal ignited a blazing rage within him, a fire that seemed to want to consume him entirely.

His eyes widened, filled with anger and unwillingness.

Especially the remark ”don’t want to be ungrateful,” it was as if slapping all of them in the face.

In Wang Tong’s mind, interests were paramount. He couldn’t understand why Zhen Jing would give up a chance for revenge for so-called gratitude and justice, leaving him extremely enraged and defeated.

Zhen Jing’s gaze was ice-cold, as if Wang Tong was nothing more than a trivial ant.

He said coldly: ”My life was saved by Young Master Xu, so what does it matter if I die at your hands today?”

Saying this, a hint of decision crossed his eyes, as if prepared to face death.

Without hesitation, he summoned his longsword, and a powerful aura erupted from his body, the exclusive aura of a True Immortal Realm expert, powerful and imposing, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

The might of a True Immortal Realm expert could not be underestimated, and the pressure emitted made many present feel a jolt of heartache.

Wang Tong at least knew he wasn’t Zhen Jing’s match, and faced with the formidable strength Zhen Jing displayed, a deep fear and jealousy surged in his heart.

Just then.

Liu Yuansong’s sinister voice slowly rang.

His gaze was cold as a blade, capable of slicing through a person’s soul instantly, making them shiver.

His voice carried a chilling murderous intent, resembling whispers from a demon in Hell, causing every person present to feel a piercing chill.

”Xu Wendong, if you hand over that treasure, the old man can swear to the heavens to spare your life!”

His words sounded sincere, yet his eyes glimmered with cunning, showing no hint of genuine intent.

”Otherwise, today will be your death day!” Liu Yuansong’s tone grew colder, his face revealing a cruel smile filled with greed and ruthlessness.

His words fully exposed his treacherousness.

In order to obtain the spatial magic treasure, he would stop at nothing, even willing to break his own vows, using all means to put Xu Wendong to death.

He disregarded past kindness entirely, using the phrase ”every man for himself” as the excuse for his despicable actions, his ugly face extremely repulsive.
