The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 440: Prelude

In his apartment, Ye Chen closed his eyes and cultivated in his bedroom. Today, Xia Ruoxue and Sun Yi did not disturb Ye Chen and quietly stayed in another room.

Although the two of them were worried, they did not say anything.

They did not understand how strong Lin Juelong was, or even how the martial arts arena worked. In the end, they could only choose to trust Ye Chen unwaveringly.

Jiang Rong had wanted to push open Ye Chen’s door several times, but in the end, she did not do so.

At this moment, Ye Chen was in the Samsara Graveyard, surrounded by the dragon vein’s spiritual energy.

The blood dragon circled above his head, and the dragon’s roars seemed to indicate the blood dragon’s anger.

Ever since the blood dragon returned from Qinling’s dragon vein, it had been surrounded by flames. Sometimes, it could even raise the temperature within the Samsara Graveyard.

Ye Chen’s aura continued to rise. He had wanted to break through before the battle, but cultivation was not so easy once one became stronger.

Fortunately, Ye Chen’s realm was already at the peak of this minor realm, and it would not take long for him to break through.

After a night of cultivation, Ye Chen opened his eyes and released a cold killing intent. It was already dawn outside, and the sound of his mother making breakfast could be heard outside.

Ye Chen washed up and ate as usual. Jiang Rong, Sun Yi, or Xia Ruoxue did not mention anything about the battle, as if what was about to happen was a very normal thing.

At eight in the morning, Ye Chen went downstairs and saw a Porsche parked at the entrance.

“Mr. Ye,” Zhu Ya greeted him.

Updɑted on BοXƝ0VEL.cοm Ye Chen then sat in the front passenger seat, while Jiang Rong and the two girls sat in the back.

The atmosphere was very quiet.

Zhu Ya glanced at Ye Chen as she drove the car. She noticed that Ye Chen seemed to be fine and had his eyes closed.

She could clearly feel her heart beating faster. It was not only her, but the three women behind her also felt the same.

Who could be truly calm in this situation?

Half an hour later, at the Capital City’s Martial Arts Arena.

The moment the Porsche stopped in front of the building, countless gazes shot over.

Coldness.

Disdain.

Ridicule.

All sorts of gazes containing negative emotions were focused on Ye Chen, but he remained unmoved. He got out of the car and headed straight for the arena. This arena was very old. It was open-air, and there were security personnel at the entrance. There were even quite a number of soldiers maintaining order.

“Mr. Ye.”

Lei Shuwei was waiting at the entrance. When he saw Ye Chen, his eyes narrowed and he quickly greeted Ye Chen respectfully.

“That person will be watching the entire battle.”

Ye Chen nodded and did not say anything else. He headed straight into the arena. The security personnel knew Ye Chen’s identity and did not stop him.

There were not many people inside, about a hundred or so.

However, the moment Ye Chen appeared, two figures walked toward him.

It was He Guowang and He Shenghai.

He Guowang stopped in his tracks and stared coldly at Ye Chen. He enunciated each word clearly, “Ye Chen, you killed my son yesterday. Don’t even think about walking out of the martial arts arena alive today.”

Ye Chen ignored him. In his eyes, they were just ants that he could deal with later. The one he had to focus on was the man on the platform.

At this moment, a bearded man stood proudly on the martial arts stage, emitting strong killing intent. Just by standing there, he exuded a sense of awe-inspiring pressure.

Ye Chen stared at the man, and anger began to boil and fester in his heart as he approached the platform.

With every step he took, the scenes from Cloud Lake Manor back then flashed through his mind.

Viciousness, slaughter, and madness filled his mind.

Before Ye Chen could step onto the platform, Bai Lixiong appeared beside him.

“Mr. Ye, if you win this battle, we will bring Ye Tianzheng back.”

“There are also experts from my Iron-Blooded Camp guarding outside. However, the rules of the martial arts arena forbid Huaxia’s official forces from being involved.”

Also, Mister Ye, be careful of the two old men over there. According to my investigation, those two people are from the Blood Alliance, and are very strong…”

Ye Chen glanced at the two old men, who were also looking at him with bloodthirsty eyes. Beside them was the Lin family head.

The two old men that Bai Lixiong mentioned had blood-red door tattoos on their necks.

I didn t expect the Blood Alliance to have a relationship with the Lin family.” Ye Chen was slightly surprised. Not far from the Lin family was the Jiang family.

Old Master Jiang, Jiang Jianfeng, and the others were all present.

Those who should have come were all here.

Ye Chen no longer hesitated and stepped onto the platform.

The blood dragon in his body seemed to be about to rush out of his body, and an invisible murderous aura surrounded him.

On the platform, the cold wind was blowing.

“It’s about to begin!”

“A life-and-death battle!”

“This Ye Chen’s brain had been kicked by a donkey! He actually dared to go up!” “It’s said that the black market’s betting odds are crazy. Almost no one wants to bet on Ye Chen…”

“Of course! How many years has Ye Chen been cultivating in comparison to Lin Juelong? Which idiot would throw away their money on a losing bet? That would be dumb as f*ck!”

“You don’t have to tell me, but someone did bet on Ye Chen. I heard that Bai Lixiong bet ten million on Ye Chen… If he wins, he will earn hundreds of millions of yuan!”

“Didn’t Bai Lixiong’s daughter stay in River City for a while? She probably knows Ye Chen.”

“Haha… Since everyone knows that Ye Chen will die, I’m very curious. How will he die? Insta-killed? Or will he be tortured to death?

Looking at the two figures standing on the platform at the center of the arena, discussion was rife within the audience.

Ye Chen was bound to lose. Everyone’s judgment was the same, without exception!

When Ye Chen stepped onto the platform, the crowd only booed and laughed!

Everyone looked at Ye Chen as if they were looking at a dead man.

Lin Juelong opened his eyes, and a bloodthirsty sneer appeared on his lips. “Trash, we finally meet. Five years ago, if it wasn’t for your mother pushing you into East Coin Lake, you would have died long ago. To be honest, I’m a little regretful. If I had killed you back then, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened.”

“Even if you have started cultivating and have amazing talent, do you really think you can beat me?”

In Lin Juelong’s eyes, there was only coldness.

Ye Chen’s expression was indifferent. He said, “Five years ago, my Ye family was destroyed by you. Today, not only will I kill you, but I will also make you suffer endless torture and despair.”

At this moment, a judge with a powerful aura stepped onto the platform. Just as he was about to explain some of the rules of the martial arts arena, two voices from different directions shouted, “No need!”

The judge’s expression changed. He looked at the pair’s expression and silently walked off the platform.

The bell suddenly rang!

“The battle commences now!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Juelong’s ice-cold killing intent and spiritual pressure were unleashed!

Feeling the killing intent and the spiritual pressure the other party was emitting, Ye Chen suddenly closed his eyes and mobilized every bit of true qi in his dantian.

His entire body was covered in a murderous aura, and seemed to be suffused with scarlet light!
