Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

This issue weighed on his heart like a heavy stone, making him feel incredibly burdened.

”Father!”

Li Jiayin shouted hoarsely, her eyes filled with anxiety.

”Nephew Jiayin, it’s better if you don’t act rashly,” Gu Lingtong’s lips curved into a cold smile.

He spoke slowly, ”This mess was all caused by that kid. If he’s seeking death, then let him die.”

In their view, the Heavenly Nether Sect couldn’t afford to offend all forces over one disciple; it was a matter of the Sect’s survival.

Not to mention that guy was so arrogant!

However, at this critical moment, a surge of gray flames erupted from Xu Wendong’s body.

The flames were like a giant beast awakening after a millennium, exuding a terrifying aura, causing the surrounding temperature to suddenly soar.

The originally cool air instantly turned scalding, as if inside a furnace.

Twelve Thunder Swords quickly converged above his head, their blades flashing with lightning, intertwining to form a mysterious and powerful Sword Array.

The lightning surged upward, like agile silver snakes, frantically blocking the punch from the Fire Demon Elder.

Then, with a sound, the gray flames surged upon the Thunder Sword like turbulent tides.

The flames and lightning intertwined, remarkably withstanding the terrifying attack.

”Boom——”

A loud explosion seemed to shake the heavens and the earth.

The Fire Demon Elder’s attack was neutralized, his massive fist disappearing like foam, leaving only a faint trace of Yin Energy.

Xu Wendong spit out a mouthful of blood, the blood drawing an arc in the air before it splattered on the ground, staining a patch of land red.

He was only at the First Level of Tongyou Realm, and the Fire Demon Elder was at the Ghost Control Realm First Level, a whole Great Realm apart!

Yet, he miraculously withstood the punch!

”What?”

”Withstood it?”

”Impossible!”

Everyone present stood dumbfounded, their eyes wide open, faces filled with shock and disbelief.

Everyone was clueless.

No one knew how Xu Wendong accomplished all this.

Nor did they know where the terrifying flames had come from.

All of it was beyond their understanding.

Even the Fire Demon Elder was stunned, his eyes filled with amazement.

”Could it be... Nether Fire?” the Fire Demon Elder took a deep breath, his voice slightly trembling.

The Fire Lotus Saint Sect had always used Yin Energy to condense flames, but everyone’s talent was limited, producing stronger or weaker Yin Fire.

Even for the Fire Demon Elder, the Yin Fire he condensed was of the lowest quality.

Yet now, he saw high-quality Nether Fire on Xu Wendong!

This child’s talent was terrifying!

”Fire Demon Elder, can’t you handle it? If you can’t finish him, let me do it,” an elder from the Divine Yin Hall said with a mocking smile.

If they could finish off Xu Wendong today, they’d obtain the Painting Saint Carving Knife on him. It was a Supreme Treasure, and everyone wanted to be the executioner for the gains.

Xu Wendong was extremely weak at this moment, his body trembling slightly, his face pale as paper.

To withstand the Ghost Control Realm First Level attack with a First Level of Tongyou Realm, surviving meant he used all his strength.

Yet, a hint of defiance was in his eyes.

”Father! If you won’t save him, I will!” Li Jiayin was heartbroken, her eyes filled with tears, her voice hoarse with sorrow.

She couldn’t just watch Xu Wendong die in front of her, something she could never accept.

She quickly stepped forward, her steps hasty and frantic, stabilizing Xu Wendong.

Her hands tightly gripped Xu Wendong’s arms as if to support him with her strength.

”Junior Brother, Senior Sister is here to help you! If we’re to die, we’ll die together!” Li Jiayin’s beautiful eyes shimmered with determination; during this time they’d known each other, she’d already accepted Xu Wendong.

In her heart, he was a man worth entrusting her life to, willing to do anything for him!

”Senior Sister, why...” Xu Wendong smiled bitterly, his smile filled with helplessness and guilt.

He felt he was too weak; if he survived, he had to improve his cultivation quickly and increase his strength, so those around him wouldn’t be endangered.

Faced with this scene, the elder from the Divine Yin Hall couldn’t sit still.

Although he was a Ninth Level of Tongyou Realm, not a Ghost Control Realm, he was more than enough to kill Xu Wendong.

His eyes gleamed with a fierce light, like a hungry beast eyeing its prey.

”Boy, you killed dozens of my people from the Divine Yin Hall. Today I’m taking your life as payback; consider yourself lucky. Now, go to the Netherworld to repent to my disciples!”

Once he finished, the Divine Yin Hall elder unleashed a powerful punch, his arm muscles taut, Soul Power surging on his fist.

The terrifying Soul Power swept forth, forming a strong gust, making everyone’s clothes flutter loudly.

But just at this moment, the Fire Demon Elder mysteriously intervened to block the attack.

His movements were as fast as lightning, taking everyone by surprise.

He quickly moved his hands, releasing a streak of Yin Energy to deflect the attack from the Divine Yin Hall elder.

”Fire Demon, what are you doing?” The Divine Yin Hall elder was furious.

Even the Heavenly Nether Sect’s Eight Great Elders were stunned, faces full of confusion, wondering why the Fire Demon Elder, who wanted to kill Xu Wendong moments ago, was now saving him?

”Hmph, my prey is none of your business,” Fire Demon snorted coldly, glancing at Xu Wendong with a touch of appreciation in his eyes.

But beneath that appreciation lay deep greed: ”Kid, I see you have talent. Are you interested in joining my Fire Lotus Saint Sect?”

”You killed my disciple, so I’ll take you as my disciple instead!”

”As long as you bring the Painting Saint Carving Knife and join my sect, I won’t hold past events against you and will strive to train you to become the number one in the Heavenly Nether Domain!”

Everyone was dumbfounded, not knowing what the Fire Demon Elder was up to.

Xu Wendong’s eyes flashed with disdain, sensing only killing intent from the Fire Demon Elder, without a hint of compassion.

In this Netherworld, it was survival of the fittest; there was no such thing as goodwill.

Even Li Lingtian had to weigh the pros and cons of rescuing him for the sake of the Sect.

If he took the offer from the Fire Demon Elder, it would just mean handing over the Painting Saint Carving Knife in vain, with even his future life and death uncertain.

”Keep dreaming. I won’t take you as my master. Kill or maim, do as you will!” Xu Wendong ignited a flame on his body.

The gray flames startled Li Jiayin, causing her to instinctively distance herself from Xu Wendong quickly.

This act provoked the Fire Demon Elder, his eyes wide open, as if flames would burst forth from them, filled with raging fury.

”How dare you disrespect me, you little wretch! Do you think I don’t dare kill you? Killing you will still leave the Painting Saint Carving Knife to me!”

Finishing his words, the Fire Demon raised his fist again, veins bulging on his arms, Soul Power surging madly.

This time, he intended to kill with one strike, wiping out Xu Wendong completely.

But just at this moment, the long-silent Li Lingtian spoke.

”Fire Demon, haven’t you stirred up enough trouble?”

”Is bullying my disciple fun for you? Are you planning to completely turn against my Heavenly Nether Sect at our mountain gate?” Li Lingtian’s body slowly floated up, arriving in mid-air.

He was surrounded by intense Yin Energy, shrouding him like a black cloud, a powerful aura radiating from him like a Demon God, intimidating everyone.

As the Sect Master of the Heavenly Nether Sect, his power was not something the Fire Demon Elder could compare to.
