Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 1800 - 1895: Cause and Effect (First Update)
On the soft black-red ground, a young man, his chest covered in fresh blood, held a longsword in his hand. At this moment, his longsword was half-dragging while one hand clutched tightly at the bloody claw mark on his chest to slow the bleeding.
He stepped forward frantically, his face pale, the blood at his lip corners still wet. In his eyes were dimness, regret, and despair.
"Could it be that I’m going to die on the Deceptive Realm Battlefield?" the man grimaced and muttered, not daring to look back. His Mysterious Qi was circulating to the ultimate level, disregarding his injuries, as he buried his head and charged forward.
Behind him.
There was a sharp sound cutting through the cold.
And the nauseating scent of blood closed in rapidly.
A few breaths later.
"Damn!!!" The man suddenly stopped his body, which had been rushing madly, spun around.
No choice.
He couldn’t escape.
His speed was far too slow.
The Red-Level Monster was too strong; equivalent to the first level of a Deity Level being, while his realm was only in the later stage of Pseudo-Divine Level.
If he kept running, within five breaths, the monster would pounce on him from behind.
By then, he wouldn’t even know how he died.
Better to gamble his life, perhaps there might be a millionth chance of a miracle to survive.
"Perhaps, this is my fate. But I’m really unwilling," the man murmured to himself, calming down a bit at this moment.
In front of him.
Stood a monster.
About twenty meters long, its entire body was a dark purple-black, with nauseating slime on its purple-black fur.
It was a lizard.
Though it was a lizard, it was much larger than typical ones, and especially its eyes, blood-red and glaringly bright, frightening, filled only with bloodlust and savagery as it stared at the man.
The dark purple-black lizard, seeing the man stop escaping, didn’t rush. Its breath fully locked onto the man, drool already at the corner of its mouth.
Its teeth weren’t white but an ashen gray, intermittently showing, sharp, along with its claws, exceptionally long, each claw like a metal hook, sharp, hard, and gleaming with a strangely cruel divine light.
At this moment, the purple-black lizard didn’t pounce immediately but stared at the man, approaching step by step.
The man, however, held the sword in both hands, head raised, eyes unblinking, slightly hunched in a defensive posture, tensely watching the purple-black lizard.
Suddenly!
After confronting each other for about ten breaths, the purple-black lizard moved, and it was an explosive sudden move.
Very fast.
The man couldn’t even react, only sensing a dark purple-black shadow wildly enlarging in his eyes, the overwhelming and sky-piercing bloody scent flooding towards him, the smell crashing into him so fiercely he lost his thinking entirely.
In the blink of an eye, the man’s moment of distraction sealed his fate.
The purple-black lizard was right in front of him.
Chilling, eerie claws descended, and if they struck, not only would the man die, even his corpse would be unrecognizable.
The scent of death pure to the extreme loomed, rendering the man immobile.
In his mind, only one desperate thought lingered.
He closed his eyes.
However.
Another few breaths passed.
The man gradually regained his thoughts, why? He wasn’t dead yet?
He opened his eyes with a strange disbelief.
And he saw a scene that left him trembling with terror.
At this moment, in front of him, at some unknown point, appeared a young person, a sword in the young person’s hand.
The sword still silently flowed with dark purple-black blood.
And that sword was deeply embedded in the purple-black lizard’s lower jaw and neck.
The purple-black lizard trembled, its massive blood-colored eyes rapidly dimming.
Also, as the man opened his eyes...
Boom!!!
The purple-black lizard collapsed in an instant, as if a small mountain fell, a thunderous tremor raising a storm of dirt and leaves. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Thank you, thank you, thanks for saving my life." The man, excitedly red-faced, found himself rescued?! Between life and death, truly saved?
Such luck was indescribable.
Besides excitement and gratitude, there was an immense shock—was that Su Chen? Su Chen could kill a Red-Level Monster in one strike, how possible?
The man indeed knew Su Chen, naturally, many had watched the battle between Su Chen and the Roaring Sea Divine Child before entering the Deceptive Realm Battlefield.
The man had seen it himself, and naturally, remembered Su Chen’s name.
"What is your name?" Su Chen turned his head, staring at the man, and asked.
"Wu Tianyao." The man wiped the blood from his mouth, and immediately began to recover his injuries, swallowing a top-level healing pill.
"Wu Tianyao?" Su Chen repeated, especially the ’Wu,’ his pronunciation emphasized. Then, Su Chen pointed towards the sword in Wu Tianyao’s hand: "Brother Wu, where did you get that sword?"
"This sword?" Wu Tianyao was stunned, smiled bitterly: "This sword is quite broken, right?"
Indeed, very broken.
Extraordinarily shabby.
Moreover, this sword is not some treasure.
Su Chen nodded, of course, this sword was broken. Not just broken, he recognized it.
This was Wu Qi’s sword, the broken sword Wu Qi never parted from, which was why Su Chen, who hadn’t intended to care about Wu Tianyao’s life or death, suddenly decided to save him. Because he noticed the sword.
"This sword is my brother’s sword, my brother gave it to me." Wu Tianyao hesitated but still said it.
After all, it wasn’t something that needed to be hidden.
Once, due to an accident, he left the Hidden Wu Family to handle something in a city within the Great Luo Heaven.
As fate would have it, he encountered his critically injured brother Wu Qi.
Maybe because of some resemblance in appearance, or perhaps due to a bloodline resonance, he impulsively saved Wu Qi.
After bringing Wu Qi back to the Wu Family, he found out that Wu Qi was actually his younger brother!!!?
A half-brother.
Once Wu Qi’s injuries healed, he stayed in the Hidden Wu Family, Wu Qi spoke little, was extremely cold and hard to approach.
Plus, Wu Qi’s strength at the time was even less than a servant of the Hidden Wu Family, so he wasn’t much appreciated, and his status in the Hidden Wu Family was low.
Wu Tianyao cared a lot about Wu Qi, after all, it was his own brother.
His father had died back then.
Wu Tianyao’s biological mother was also dead, though he heard from his brother that his brother’s biological mother was still alive. However, she suffered in the Wu Family in the Great Luo Heaven.
Wu Qi was Wu Tianyao’s closest immediate relative, a bloodline connection that couldn’t be severed.
