The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2377: Chapter 2351: Trump Card! (Second Release)

Moreover, if he really used up those thousand Soul Devices, it would be equivalent to the Chu family losing millions of Divine Cloud Stones!

In that case, he might not even be able to retain his position as the Chu Family Patriarch...

But!

Money, status, what of them?

Chu Hong also didn’t believe that Ye Chen was already dead!

The reason was simple, because Ye Chen had promised him that he would definitely save Chu Ying!

How could Ye Chen die?

If he died, how could he fulfill his promise?

Merely that promise from Ye Chen gave Chu Hong a reason to protect him at all costs!

Ye Chen was the man his daughter Chu Hong had set her sights on!

Only Marquis Xu still maintained his composure, watching Chu Hong as he sneered, ”Master Chu, nicely played, but do you really think that after knowing Ye Chen possessed numerous Soul Devices, we wouldn’t be prepared at all?”

As he spoke, he pointed with his hand, and an invisible fluctuation rippled through the air. Everyone fixed their gaze and saw in front of Marquis Xu an entirely transparent creature with a pair of wings, resembling a small elephant.

Many people cast questioning looks at Marquis Xu, what was this?

It seemed to be nothing more than an oddly shaped beast, nothing special, right?

With this thing, could it block those thousand Soul Devices?

Seeing their reactions, Marquis Xu calmly said, ”This creature is called a Soul-eating Demon, very weak, but it possesses an innate ability to devour all kinds of soul power fluctuations.

This Soul-eating Demon, reputed to be extremely rare even in the Divine Kingdom, is probably the only one in the entire Lingwu Continent. It was a gift from Young Master Wu Ming, who is like a prophet, having foreseen this situation long ago.”

Marquis Xu had not released the Soul-eating Demon when the Mystic Moon Sect used the Soul Devices earlier, simply because there was no need; after all, those lower-level martial artists who died were not subordinates of the Xu family.

Upon hearing this, the elites gathered there were all invigorated!

But Chu Hong’s expression had turned completely somber; the opponent even had a backup plan!?

How terrifyingly powerful the innate abilities of the Soul-eating Demon were, others might not know, but Chu Hong was very aware; this creature was an extremely rare entity even within the Divine Kingdom!

Who would have thought that Wu Ming could produce such an item?

In the Lingwu Continent, there were few entities that could counter thousands of Great Void Soul Devices, but why did it have to appear on the opposing side?

The Mystic Moon Sect, Divine Fire Academy, and those from secret realms all had their smiles freeze, feeling somewhat desperate. Could it be that even the heavens were siding with the opposition this time?

Could it be that Wu Ming was the genius favored by the heavens, not Ye Chen?

Even a powerful figure like Chu Hong started to waver slightly...

Even though the thousand Great Void Soul Devices were powerful, facing the Soul-eating Demon, Chu Hong lost confidence...

However, Chu Hong was also a person who had experienced great turmoil; he instantly calmed down, his face set with resolve as he bellowed, ”Attack!”

At the same time, he flipped his wrist, gripping a sword that seemed to be made of crystal, his body thrumming with spiritual energy, and struck instantly at the Soul-eating Demon with his sword!

Marquis Xu’s expression changed slightly; this sword strike was terrifying to the extreme!

Even though the Great Void existed, Chu Hong’s casual swing of his sword had emitted a dangerous aura!

This guy has been hiding his true cultivation level all these years!

However, he still snorted coldly. A Protective Divine Item in his hand shone brightly, transforming into a barrier that protected the Soul-eating Demon. Meanwhile, Xiang Qiang’s gaze flashed as he gripped his saber. With a fierce shout, he slashed down, releasing a chilling sword radiance infused with Yin, colliding with the incoming sword light!

The sword radiance diminished, but the sword light also reduced significantly and landed on Marquis Xu’s protective barrier, eventually dissipating into nothingness. The Soul-eating Demon remained completely unharmed!

At that moment, the thousand Soul Devices finally exploded. Endless waves of soul power surged wildly, causing everyone to feel an illusion that the very heavens and earth were distorting and deforming under the influence of this soul power!

Yet, the next moment, a mysterious scene unfolded.

The Soul-eating Demon suddenly lifted its long trunk and emitted a shrill scream. In that instant, time seemed to have momentarily stopped!

Immediately after, the boundless soul power that emerged from the affluent spectators rushed toward the Soul-eating Demon!

Despite being engulfed by that terrifyingly suffocating wave of soul power, the Soul-eating Demon showed no signs of distress. Instead, it seemed extremely delighted and excited!

However, as it continued devouring, the Soul-eating Demon began to struggle, and its transparent body started to take on streaks of bright red!

Marquis Xu frowned!

Too much!

The energy released by those thousand Soul Devices was immense!

Even though the Soul-eating Demon had the innate ability to devour soul power, it seemed to be struggling to keep up!

It was like how a person, no matter how much they can eat, eventually reaches a point of fullness or even overeating!

”Ouch!!!” the Soul-eating Demon cried out in pain, blood continuously flowing from its mouth, and its entire body turned completely red!

However, by this time, the soul power contained within those thousand Soul Devices had also been completely absorbed!

Marquis Xu breathed a slight sigh of relief, a cold smile on his face as he waved his hand to gather up the Soul-eating Demon. The affluent crowd all showed expressions of great joy!

With the thousand Soul Devices gone, their biggest threat had vanished!

After all, in terms of Great Void Strong People, their side had several more compared to the adversaries, ensuring their victory in this battle!

”Kill!” Marquis Xu knew, disregarding the Chu family’s attitude, that Chu Hong himself had employed the thousand Soul Devices not as a mere show of force, but truly intending to fight to the death for Ye Chen. Since it was a fight to the death,

there was no better time to kill than the present!

Marquis Xu clearly had vast experience in major battles, knowing precisely when to strike. Now, at a moment when his side’s momentum was strong and the enemy’s was weak, was the perfect opportunity to strike!

Immediately, various Great Void existences and those at the Sealed Gate realm took action, each finding their opponent, while a multitude of Sealed Gate, Star Aperture, and Creation realm experts also clashed fiercely!

Chu Hong, Chu Xing, Huyan Jie, and Ma Tianyuan from the Nine Remoteness Kingdom, whose martial arts foundation, while not comparable to the Divine Kingdom, still far exceeded that of the Lingwu Continent. If it were one-on-one, even if they couldn’t kill instantly, these four undoubtedly could strongly suppress the Great Void existences of Lingwu, invincible on the battlefield!

However, this time, the affluent powers had altogether ten Great Void Strong People, and also a group at half-step Great Void, not to be underestimated!

Chu Hong and three other strong people from the Nine Remoteness Kingdom were each surrounded front and back by two Great Void existences!

Ge Qing, though not from the Nine Remoteness Kingdom and just an ordinary Great Void existence, faced Cai Hua and Zheng Ruohu. During a previous formation-breaking attempt, Cai Hua and Zheng Ruohu had been injured by hundreds of Soul Devices, their divine souls damaged, and their strengths significantly reduced!

And the royal family’s elder Sikong Lie, also a Great Void existence, still looked middle-aged externally but was actually near death, with only ten thousand years of lifespan remaining, his strength had begun to decline, even unable to match a typical Great Void Strong Person anymore.
