The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2184: Am I Poisoned?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After Hong Renjie heard this, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. He quietly told himself that he should not provoke Daoist Chun Ling.

The fellow’s methods were truly strange and nearly impossible to defend against.

If he were struck by the Molten Godfire... The thought sent a shiver of fear through Hong Renjie.

Then, Daoist Chun Ling turned his attention to Ye Chen and smiled. ”The reason I chose to attach this Molten Godfire poison to the Secret Spirit Invisible Needles is mainly that this poison is best suited for my cultivation technique. My technique requires the essence of flesh and blood, not the power of the divine soul. Furthermore, this poison acts slowly. This allows me to completely refine the opponent’s flesh and blood before they die and lose their essence.”

Hong Renjie could not help but gulp. How vicious!

In other words, anyone struck by the Secret Spirit Invisible Needles would meet a death filled with extreme pain, both in their body and soul.

Even the most brutal torture could not compare to this kind of suffering, could it?

Although Daoist Chun Ling appeared gentle and refined, he was, at his core, a sadist who relished in the suffering of others.

Daoist Chun Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled. He looked directly at Ye Chen and said, ”Little brother, now you understand what awaits you, do you not? Can you still remain calm?”

Chen Zhifan felt his heart sink upon hearing this. He glanced at Ye Chen and saw him casually toying with the Secret Spirit Invisible Needles in his hand. Ye Chen still appeared indifferent. Chen Zhifan could not help but shout in anxiety, ”Ye Chen, what are you doing? Hurry up and force the poison out!”

Could it be that even Ye Chen, with his incredibly determined spirit, could not accept the fate he was facing and had fallen into despair? Had he given up?

Pain flickered in Chen Zhifan’s eyes. The more Ye Chen seemed to crumble, the more guilt he felt.

However, Ye Chen smiled and put away the Secret Spirit Invisible Needles. He gently patted Chen Zhifan’s shoulder. ”Do not worry, Brother Chen. I am not poisoned.”

Everyone was stunned.

He was not poisoned?

One must understand that the top hundred poisons were all lethal upon contact with blood. If there was a wound and blood flowed, one would surely be poisoned.

How could he not be poisoned?

Immediately afterward, Daoist Chun Ling and Hong Renjie erupted in laughter. This boy was likely already in despair and had lost his mind. He had begun to deceive himself.

”No,” Daoist Chun Ling shook his head and said, ”Initially, I found your temperament quite admirable. Sigh, I did not expect you to have already collapsed. You are now deceiving yourself. How disappointing. There is no fun in torturing a lunatic!”

”What a pity,” Hong Renjie added cruelly. ”Experiencing such pain while conscious is the best punishment for trespassing into the Hong Family’s territory and hurting my son. It is too lenient to have him collapse so quickly.”

Chen Zhifan’s eyes flashed. Although he struggled to believe what Ye Chen had said, it defied logic.

However, he was willing to believe in Ye Chen. This was because he had faith in Ye Chen’s character.

Chen Zhifan chose not to say anything. He retreated to the side and sat down in a cross-legged position to heal his wounds.

Since Ye Chen claimed he was not poisoned, then he was not poisoned.

What he needed to do now was to use this time to heal his injuries. He had to avoid becoming a burden to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked calmly at the smug Daoist Chun Ling and Hong Renjie and sneered, ”Even if the effect of this Molten Godfire poison is slow, it should show its effects soon, correct? Do I appear to be poisoned? Hmm?”

Hong Renjie and Daoist Chun Ling exchanged glances. Finally, they ceased their laughter. Both frowned as they observed Ye Chen closely.

”Brother Chun, this kid really does not seem to be poisoned.” Hong Renjie’s expression shifted slightly.

Even if Ye Chen could feign endurance, his aura and physical signs could not be hidden.

Ye Chen’s vitality was robust. His pulse, spirit, and other vital signs remained unchanged. He did not seem poisoned in the slightest.

Daoist Chun Ling furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment. This boy’s condition was indeed somewhat strange.

However, Daoist Chun Ling’s brow soon relaxed, and he said with a smile, ”Brother Hong, do not be fooled by this boy’s bluff. He must be relying on his surging blood essence and some secret technique to forcefully suppress the poison.”

Ye Chen looked at the two of them with amusement and could not help but think to himself, ’I am not joking.’

”Very well, the reason I came to the Hong Family this time is solely to save my friend. Your son hurt my friend, so I have nearly settled the score. If you leave now, I will not trouble you. How does that sound?”

As Ye Chen finished speaking, a flash of anger crossed Daoist Chun Ling’s and Hong Renjie’s faces.

Both were Sealed Gate realm experts, so why were they the ones being spared instead of Ye Chen, a mere Creation realm expert?

Daoist Chun Ling scoffed. ”You truly dare to mess around, huh?” He chuckled darkly. ”A Creation realm expert dares to claim that he has the strength to defeat a Sealed Gate realm expert?”

”Even a three-year-old child would not believe it. If you wish to bluff, at least find a better excuse.”

Ye Chen shrugged. ”If you do not believe me, you may try attacking me,” he said casually.

Daoist Chun Ling’s eyes darkened as he glared at Ye Chen. However, with his experience, he could not perceive any flaws in Ye Chen’s demeanor.

If Ye Chen was acting, then his skills were far too impressive.

Suddenly, a gleam sparked in Daoist Chun Ling’s eyes, and he discreetly signaled to Hong Renjie.

Ye Chen shook his head and sighed upon seeing their expressions. ”I have already given you a chance. Since you seek death, do not blame me.”

Daoist Chun Ling snorted coldly. ”When you are refined by me, I hope you can continue your charade. Do it!”

He leapt into the air, flipping his hands to draw two curved swords. His previously gentle and elegant expression transformed into one of ferocity, and his entire body radiated sinister energy. He resembled a demon from hell, stepping upon blood and harvesting human lives!

An overwhelming aura of murder howled around him, and within this aura were faint shadows of countless vengeful souls. The cold wind surged, carrying with it innumerable wails, screams, and cries for mercy.

Daoist Chun Ling had indeed tortured countless individuals to death throughout his long years of cultivation.

He had not even made a move, yet his aura was enough to instill dread in the hearts of those present.

The two swords in his hands crossed, and a strange blood-red light glimmered at the edges of the blades. His previously slight frame bulged with powerful muscles as he swung his swords toward Ye Chen.

”Blood Abyss Soul Extinguishing Slash!” Daoist Chun Ling muttered in a low voice.
