The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2196: Immortal? You?

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

He looked at the bloodstains on the ground and then raised his head to gaze at Ye Chen, who stood in front of him with his eyes closed.

He could not believe what he was seeing.

He was actually at a disadvantage in a sword fight against a Star Aperture realm expert?

Moreover, he was injured, and his opponent was completely unharmed?

Li Shen’s dignity as a genius of the Divine Kingdom felt like it was about to shatter!

How could this be possible?

Why was he so powerful?

An early-stage Star Aperture realm expert fighting a fifth-level Sealed Gate realm expert was a rare occurrence even in the Diving Kingdom.

Chen Meixiang was equally taken aback. From the beginning, she had only felt hatred and indifference towards the cultivator from Lingwu Continent.

Now, however, only one emotion remained in her mind.

It was not disgust or contempt, but fear. A fear that originated from the depths of her very bones!

She recognized that there was a strong possibility that Li Shen’s sword attack could kill her in an instant. After all, the difference of three minor realms was immense. Furthermore, combat was not her strong suit.

As for Ye Chen’s sword strike?

Ye Chen’s sword was clearly far more terrifying than Li Shen’s. Therefore, Ye Chen was someone who could eliminate her with just one strike, and she had just tried to steal his treasure.

She understood that even though she was considered a peerless beauty, in this world, strength was paramount. If she insulted or belittled a powerful individual who could eliminate her in an instant, no matter how beautiful she was, it would be of no consequence.

On the contrary, it would make her situation even worse.

At this moment, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and smiled at Li Shen. ”Your sword strike is not bad. It has given me some new insights.”

Earlier, Ye Chen had felt the surge of power from his recent advancement and made adjustments. Additionally, he had digested what he had just comprehended. His next attack would be even more formidable.

When Li Shen heard this, his eyes narrowed.

What did this person just say?

New insights?

For him to wield such a terrifying sword technique as a Star Aperture realm was already astonishing to an unimaginable degree, yet he could actually improve further after just one exchange?

Li Shen instantly sensed an overwhelming pressure emanating from Ye Chen’s body and instinctively took a step back.

Ye Chen looked at Li Shen with a half-smile. ”You woke my friend up, so there is a price you must pay.”

With that, Ye Chen moved his hand, preparing to strike again. Li Shen’s heart raced.

He had already sustained injuries from their previous clash, and now, his sword strike would be weaker. If he continued to engage with Ye Chen, his injuries would only worsen, and if this persisted, he would undoubtedly lose.

At this moment, Li Shen was filled with fear.

He was truly frightened!

How was this person from Lingwu Continent considered trash?

He was simply a shocking monster!

Suddenly, a faint pink light descended upon Li Shen’s body. In an instant, the dispirited aura caused by his injuries began to recover.

Ye Chen was momentarily stunned. He turned to the side and observed that Chen Meixiang’s body was radiating a faint pink light. At the same time, a peculiar fragrance filled the maple forest.

If his guess was accurate, this woman possessed an exceedingly rare physique which allowed her to heal the injuries of others quickly.

Ye Chen’s deduction was correct. Given Chen Meixiang’s lower cultivation level, she could only participate in the mission alongside Li Shen and the others because of her unique ability.

Chen Meixiang’s face paled upon noticing Ye Chen’s gaze upon her. She was so shocked that she began to tremble. With a wave of her hand, a large stone shield, radiating a stable and firm aura, emerged in front of her chest, offering her protection. This large shield was a protective artifact!

She understood that individuals with healing abilities like hers often became targets.

Nevertheless, she had to act and heal Li Shen’s injuries.

After all, if Li Shen were to be defeated by Ye Chen, she was not confident in her ability to escape on her own.

Alternatively, if she fled first, what if Ye Chen pursued her?

Would Li Shen, seeing her escape, come to her rescue?

She dared not take that risk!

After summoning the stone shield, Chen Meixiang cried out, ”Senior Brother Li, stop him. Do not allow him to attack me!”

When Li Shen felt his injuries healing, he was filled with joy. He immediately positioned himself in front of Chen Meixiang.

With Chen Meixiang by his side, he possessed an extraordinary recovery ability. Even if Ye Chen’s attack power surpassed his, he still had a high chance of defeating his opponent.

At this juncture, he no longer entertained thoughts of stopping Chen Meixiang from intervening and defeating Ye Chen himself to reclaim his dignity.

After all, dignity was only valuable if one was alive.

If he lost his life, what dignity would he have left?

Ye Chen assessed the two individuals opposing him. He remained unconcerned. He had no intention of attacking Chen Meixiang at all.

Ye Chen lovingly caressed the giant egg as if he were comforting Little Gold, who was in slumber. Then, he gripped the Rotten Beast Sword and advanced forward. The Heaven-burning Sword materialized once more!

”Heaven Splitting Wind Cloud Sword!” Li Shen grit his teeth and shouted.

The spiritual energy within his body surged to a breaking point, and his meridians felt as though they were on the verge of bursting. Nevertheless, Li Shen did not cease. Only in this manner could he amplify the power of his sword technique.

Moreover, with Chen Meixiang present, this minor injury would not hinder the upcoming battle.

Sword beams erupted, and the maple forest transformed into an ocean of light. Although the light was magnificent, it was also lethally dangerous!

The sea of sword beams clashed once more with Ye Chen’s sword strike, and with a resounding explosion, the brilliant sword beams were extinguished in an instant. Li Shen coughed up blood and retreated repeatedly. Yet, joy sparkled in his eyes as he stared at Ye Chen, for he had seen blood.

It was not his own blood, but Ye Chen’s!

His ultimate attack had finally inflicted an injury upon Ye Chen.

In the next moment, a pink light enveloped Li Shen’s body. His injuries began to heal as Chen Meixiang acted again.

Li Shen finally laughed maniacally upon witnessing this. He shouted at Ye Chen, ”Hahaha, you brat, you are regretting this now, are you not? Are you trembling? Do you believe you can offend the people of the Divine Kingdom simply because you possess some strength?”

”Ignorance! Utter ignorance! How does it feel now? Can you still be arrogant? Hmm?”

”Do you wish to continue fighting? Hahahaha, I am now an immortal existence! Despair!”

Ye Chen casually glanced at the blood on his hand. Just moments ago, while testing his sword, he had been accidentally cut by one of Li Shen’s sword beams. The arm holding the sword had sustained a deep wound that reached the bone.

However, Ye Chen did not care at all. He appeared as though he had lost a significant amount of blood and suffered severe injuries. In reality, in just a brief moment, Ye Chen’s wound beneath the blood had already begun to heal.

He looked at Li Shen and could not help but smile mockingly. ”Are you worthy of uttering the word immortal in front of me?” he inquired.
