The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2924: Chapter 2898: The Blood Dragon’s Crisis

The second match had fifteen participants divided into eight groups, with one group having a bye to directly advance; the third match was a quarterfinal with only four advancing, and Ye Chen’s luck would end here.

There were only four advancing spots, and they were reserved for the three seeded competitors and Ye Lingtian, leaving no place for Ye Chen.

”Next match, number two versus number eighty-eight!” The referee announced on the Martial Arts Arena.

This was Ye Chen’s third match, and his opponent, number two, was none other than Ye Tanzhu!

”Tan Zhu, be careful, this Ye Chen is not simple. If you can’t win, concede!”

Before going on stage, Ye Tanzhu suddenly received a divine soul message from the ancestor, Ye Zigeng.

Originally, Ye Tanzhu hadn’t taken Ye Chen seriously at all, but now his steps faltered...

Ignoring Ye Lingtian was one thing, but could Ye Chen, this so-called ”weakling” at the eighth level of the Disaster Slaying realm, also be hiding his true strength?

These two outsiders from a low-level martial plane are both so ”defiant of nature,” Ye Tanzhu couldn’t believe it.

But the ancestor’s special reminder meant he thought Ye Tanzhu might not be a match for Ye Chen from the eighth level of the Disaster Slaying realm.

This scene was exceedingly strange.

On the Martial Arts Arena, Ye Chen and Ye Tanzhu faced each other.

The audience was surprisingly silent!

Because in their view, the gap in strength was too vast!

So vast that Ye Chen had no chance of winning!𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

”Junior Brother Ye Chen, it’s just a spar, let’s keep it to that, don’t you think?” Ye Tanzhu cupped his hands to Ye Chen, forcing a smile as he spoke.

This almost made the Ye family spectators’ jaws drop; when had the genius at the peak of the Chaos Realm, Ye Tanzhu, ever been so polite with his peers?

Ye Chen smiled faintly and nodded ambiguously, and in the next second, he summoned the Slaughter Sword!

When the Slaughter Sword manifested, Ye Chen’s gentle face turned completely cold, softly uttering a few words: ”Use your full strength!”

The sword light did not move, but Blood Light surged, enormous force welled up, and the True Martial Intent radiated out!

The mere aura caused Ye Tanzhu’s expression to change dramatically!

This was not the eighth level of the Disaster Slaying realm at all! It was even more brutal than the late-stage Chaos!

Ye Tanzhu dared not be careless, and the next second, he sacrificed his blood essence, surprisingly summoning a demonic beast.

It even carried the aura of Outer Realm demonic beasts within its bloodline!

This was his greatest trump card.

The beast had three heads, exuding dense demonic qi and spiritual pressure.

It was a hybrid of an Outer Realm demonic beast and a Divine Kingdom spiritual beast!

Hellhound!

As the Hellhound emerged, the three heads simultaneously let out howling roars, charging at Ye Chen under Ye Tanzhu’s command.

At the same time, Ye Tanzhu’s True Martial Intent erupted, endless Chaotic Spiritual Power converged into his hand holding a sword, and with a slash, it was directed at Ye Chen!

The two forces combined to form something terrifying to the extreme!

It was almost a certain death scenario!

No one expected Ye Tanzhu to strike this way!

It was too despicable!

Ye Chen, holding the Slaughter Sword, remained calm. He was planning to use the True Martial Intent to suppress Ye Tanzhu’s realm, suddenly sensing a strange fluctuation hidden under the opponent’s punch.

The other side was going for the kill.

Ye Chen’s eyes flashed with a stern light; instead of using the Slaughter Sword, he gathered spiritual energy, activated the Scarlet Dust Divine Bloodline, and unleashed a Cang Yan Extinguishing Spirit Palm.

In his view, the opponent wasn’t even worthy of making him use the Slaughter Sword!

As the sword and palm collided, a spirit explosion echoed in the sky, and the array formation around the Martial Arts Arena was triggered, forcibly suppressing the battle’s aftermath.

A black beam, as thin as a cow’s hair, shot out from the shadow of that punch, targeting Ye Chen.

Soul Extermination Needle! A poisonous item meant to harm the divine soul, it was Ye Tanzhu’s hidden trick just now. His sword was merely a feint; the real intention was to use this Soul Extermination Needle to destroy Ye Chen’s divine soul directly.

Truly despicable!

But no matter how dirty the tactic, it was futile in the face of absolute strength!

Ye Chen naturally sensed it, which was why he unleashed the ”Cang Yan Extinguishing Spirit Palm,” though he held back; if he had struck with full force, Ye Tanzhu would’ve surely been annihilated, his divine soul obliterated!

”Ah!”

Endless tremendous force surged! Rolling dust, as if towering!

Amid the dust, a cry of anguish was heard, Ye Tanzhu flew like a kite with a broken string, falling motionless after hitting the ground.

He followed in the footsteps of Ye Jing, not dead, but this lesson would probably be unforgettable for life.

High up, Ye Zigeng witnessed this scene. Suddenly rising, his aura was uncontrollably fluctuating as he glared fiercely at Ye Chen.

”Junior Brother Zigeng, what do you intend to do?” Ye Ziming’s aura locked onto him, ready to stop Ye Zigeng if he dared act against Ye Chen.

Ye Xueqing also looked at Ye Zigeng, showing a touch of resignation: ”Your outstanding disciple resorted to such tactics in front of everyone, losing face completely.”

Ye Tanzhu brought this purely upon himself, and seeing that the other two elders weren’t supporting him, Ye Zigeng cooled off and sat back down with a sneer.

”After all, they are outsiders. I’m beginning to suspect that Ye Lingtian and Ye Chen are spies sent by the Heavenly Dao Palace!”

Ye Zigeng suddenly said coldly.

”Even if they are spies, as long as they have value, let them be,” Ye Xueqing thought incomprehensibly, aligning herself even more actively with Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian than Ye Ziming did.

Out of great confidence in their strength, the three elders reached an agreement to continue observing temporarily.

...

”What just happened? Did Ye Chen actually defeat Brother Tan Zhu head-on?!”

”He is companions with Ye Lingtian, and both of them have hidden their strength. It’s unimaginable how they’ve done it!”

”With this, at the Ye family ancestor worship, hasn’t every branch become a joke? With two outsiders, we’re all probably no match for them!”

Ye Chen’s low profile could last no longer. After returning to the stands, initially, the people who attended from the three branches respected him from a distance.

If Ye Chen were only slightly stronger than them, it would be fine, but once they realized that their strengths were vastly different, they developed an air of reverence and distance.

However, Ye Chen kept his eyes closed as if he didn’t care about anything happening around him!

Ye Niang looked at him with her bright eyes, pondering something, and then said softly: ”I’ll be leaving now.”

Knowing Miss Ni Chang’s departure from the Martial Arts Arena strangely left an awkward atmosphere.

...

Meanwhile, at the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Palace, a divine dragon engulfed in flames hovered above the sky.

It was the Yan Tian Dragon God!

Surrounding him stood a group of ten terrifying beings!

Each one had a presence the Heavenly Dao Palace couldn’t ignore!

Everyone’s eyes were filled with seriousness!

Because in their view, this time, they had to kill that blood dragon!

The only possibility was that the blood dragon was hiding in this place, and now, above the Abyss, the blood essence was thick, this aura was so familiar to the Yan Tian Dragon God.

Suddenly, the Yan Tian Dragon God opened his huge mouth, revealing a gigantic Black Cauldron!

The Black Cauldron poured out!

”Move!”

In sync, the ten elders of the Heavenly Dao Palace sacrificed their blood essence, converging it onto the Black Cauldron!

In an instant, a torrent of lava flowed out from inside the Black Cauldron!

The lava flowed endlessly, and what’s more, it carried with it a destructive aura!

In time, the basin would turn into a lake of lava!

At that moment, no life at the bottom would survive!

The blood dragon is in danger!
