Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 1941 - 2037: Even So (Second Update)
The red-purple currents are as fine as strands of hair, divided into thousands, even millions of channels, each swirling and fluctuating, as if they are about to engulf the entire swamp, radiating in all directions. Wherever they reach, life is extinguished, leaving only the scent of death.
The onlooking State Sons, almost each and every one of them, are exerting all their power to hold up their Mysterious Qi Protective Barriers. Some have even had to bring out their treasures and hidden cards to barely withstand the fluctuations of the red-purple strands of energy.
At the same time.
"Step... step..."
Su Chen steps back four times in quick succession.
With each step, a profoundly deep footprint is left behind, with each step, more blood is coughed up, with each step, his face turns a shade paler.
Additionally, with each step back, it seems as though a rib in his chest breaks. After retreating four steps, his chest is stained a gruesome red, glaringly bright and foreboding, sending a chill down the spine.
Even more terrifying, with each backward step, the stench of death intensifies by a fraction. After four steps back, he is engulfed as if injected with endless death energy, making one’s scalp tingle and hair stand on end.
Once Su Chen comes to a complete stop, he is a pitiful sight—drenched in red, with the dense blackened aura of death enveloping him, mingling with his blood, forming a black-red hue, making him resemble a Hell demon attached to Su Chen, encircling him with a bone-chilling presence, emitting a horrifying wave of power.
If not for the fact that Su Chen was still standing there, still breathing, he would appear much like a specimen of death, too visually terrifying.
Turning to Feng Chong, he remains motionless, unscathed, not even a change in his breathing, appearing absolutely fine and at ease.
The strength and weakness are distinctly clear.
However, despite this, many of the State Sons present, including Feng Chong himself, are taken aback, their eyes sharply contracting.
Although Su Chen is severely wounded, the fact remains, he managed to block this one move!?
Don’t underestimate the fact that he held out against one of Feng Chong’s moves. At least, in this regard, no one else present could manage it except Su Chen.
At the very least, Su Chen performed better than Gao Yi. In other words, Su Chen’s strength surpasses Gao Yi’s.
It was known before that many State Sons estimated Su Chen as barely stronger than Wei Yu, but inferior to Gao Yi, all assuming Su Chen would be killed in one move, with no other possibilities.
Yet the fact before their eyes is that he is considerably stronger than Gao Yi.
Truly astonishing to the extreme.
Nevertheless, the more so, the more lamentable for everyone. More terrifying, more monstrous than imagined, but why must he insist on seeking death?
In this moment, facing Feng Chong, Su Chen must be realizing the gap between them, right? He’s really hitting a dead end, only to regret it too late? 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Would Feng Chong easily let him off?
"Su Chen!!! Surrender!" From a distance, You You shouted, her voice filled with an indescribable urgency: "Quick... quickly surrender..."
You You’s emotional fluctuations were severe, almost to the point of deviation, the air around her tearing with piercing bursts, her voice carrying the aura of Mysterious Qi.
Unfortunately, Su Chen seemed to be deaf to it.
"Jiuyou, I’ve come to a fairly deep understanding of my own strength." Su Chen communicated internally with Jiuyou. Earlier, he had made a move with Chaotic Divine Thunder accompanied by Sword Light, fully aware in his heart that he could not compete with Feng Chong’s claw, yet he did so nonetheless.
Why?
Because he wanted to try, to gain a profound understanding of his actual combat power.
"Indeed, upon reaching the Realm of Returning to Truth, being a minor realm apart makes a huge difference in strength." Su Chen continued.
The same sword, facing Wei Yu at the limit of the Realm of Returning to Truth Fifth Level, could be a surefire kill, yet couldn’t stand at all against Feng Chong who just broke through to the Realm of Returning to Truth Sixth Layer. It goes to show how massive the gap between the Fifth and Sixth Layer truly is, much larger than he had expected.
Su Chen muttered to himself, somewhat unwillingly: "This means, with all my hidden cards, including the Divine Demon Ghost Fire, at most my combat strength is at the Sixth Level rank, definitely no match for the Seventh Layer."
"Young boy Su, that’s enough. Comparable to the Sixth Level of the Realm of Returning to Truth, what more do you want? Do you know what the Sixth Level of the Realm of Returning to Truth signifies? In all of Traceless Heaven, how many Sixth Level beings exist? How old are you even?" Jiuyou felt the urge to strangle Su Chen.
Throughout the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, it’s rare to hear of a Sixth Level under five hundred years old in the Realm of Returning to Truth. If that’s still unsatisfactory, how could other Martial Cultivators endure?
Even she, Jiuyou, with such a grand lineage, couldn’t reach Sixth Level at five hundred years old!
"Alright." Su Chen chuckled, taking a deep breath, immediately activating the Ancient Soul Ancestral Vein, Chaotic Current, Divine Demon Bloodline, all together, insanely so.
In an instant.
The wounds and blurred blood on his chest began healing rapidly to the naked eye.
This scene, naturally, fell into the gaze of all present.
"Hmm?" Feng Chong was already frowning because he hadn’t defeated Su Chen in one move, leaving him with a shred of unease and oddity and confusion.
Upon seeing Su Chen’s instantaneous recovery of his injuries, his breath was further halted, disbelief had turned into intense jealousy.
This kind of terrifying bodily recovery was almost comparable to being undying and indestructible! How did it appear in a City Level youth not even five hundred years old? How is it possible?
Feng Chong was already that shocked, let alone the other State Sons present, each one appearing as if they had seen the Ghost King, many State Sons even raised their hands to rub their eyes, utterly unable to believe the scene before them.
Even Elder Yun hidden within the void had a hint of surprise on his ancient face.
"But, even so, you are still not my opponent." Taking a deep breath, Feng Chong became somewhat calmer; the frowning and other expressions on his face vanished, gazing at Su Chen, his lips curving into a cryptic, cruel smile: "You, quite good, to take this young master’s move at your age is something to be proud of!!!"
More than just deserving of pride?
At least, among the present State Sons, there wasn’t one capable of achieving it, not at all.
As Feng Chong spoke, the atmosphere grew tense once again.
You You grew increasingly anxious to the point of wanting to forcibly intervene and stop Su Chen.
Unfortunately, as soon as this thought surfaced, Elder Yun’s aura appeared once more, suppressing her, not allowing her the chance to intervene.
"Su Chen, I must tell you, that move you took was just a casual probing from this young master, do you believe it?" Subsequently, Feng Chong’s eyes brightened, as brilliant as a blazing sun, blindingly so.
His voice, compared to before, did not increase in volume, yet the tone seemed to form sword light emitted from a Divine weapon, sweeping towards the surroundings unstoppably and invincibly.
