Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 983 - 981: Life and Death Moment (4 updates)

As long as the green hills remain, there’s no fear of lacking firewood to burn.

Su Chen is no fool.

He’s already fought with everything he has, going all out, but... the result is right in front of his eyes.

Who he is now cannot even begin to compare with the Blood God Robe.

If he doesn’t flee, is the alternative to wait to die?

Unyielding battle intent refers to clinging to even the slimmest chance of victory while being fearless. Right now, staying any longer means certain death, an act of irrationality—not bravery. Su Chen isn’t some foolish guy who’d stubbornly charge forth to his demise.

He still wants to live. He still has higher grounds to reach. He still has people to find—Wenren Nongyue, Lin Lanxin.

He must survive!!!

Moreover.

As long as he doesn’t die.

Given time.

He can take his revenge.

He can defeat the Blood God Robe.

Without a doubt, all he’s lacking is time, just as when he first encountered Li Ping—a pursuit that brought him to the brink of life and death. Yet, as long as he survived, what of Li Ping? In the end, didn’t he surpass her, even conquer her?

Huff...

Su Chen took a deep, steadying breath.

He activated every ounce of Mysterious Qi remaining!

Three Forces Transformation, converting them into liquid-like Mysterious Qi Flow, which surged toward his feet. His steps danced, the Traceless Movement Technique rippling, and he leapt out toward an arbitrary direction into the void.

Once he began his escape, Su Chen paid no heed to anything else. All that remained was a singularly burning thought: flee, flee, flee... charge, charge, charge.

He didn’t care about anything behind him!

Meanwhile, the Blood God Robe remained serene and composed. He had dealt with Soul Annihilation and Sky Fist in succession; now, what lay before him was Su Chen’s Sky Extinguishing Sword Light.

His gaze was deep and still, laced with an amused interest as he stared at the Sky Extinguishing Sword Light. The astonishment in his eyes grew increasingly evident: "Dao Rhythm?!!! Unyielding Sword Rhyme? Fascinating, such impressive talent."

Even in an advanced plane like the Primordial Continent, few have comprehended Dao Rhythm.

Not even the Blood God Robe himself—he’s only faintly brushed against the threshold.

And what of Su Chen? A mere twenty-four-year-old, just in the Fifth Level of the Ancestor Emperor Realm, had not only comprehended Dao Rhythm but reached a rather remarkable degree of mastery.

It was astonishing beyond imagination.

Such talent for martial cultivation simply defied description!

The killing intent within the Blood God Robe’s heart surged to its zenith.

His curiosity about Su Chen was boundless; his instincts whispered that if he could uncover Su Chen’s secrets, he might gain an enormous boon.

For the first time in a long while, his usually unperturbed heart quivered with emotion.

Then.

The Blood God Robe raised his hand once more.

This time, it wasn’t an extended palm nor an octagonal net of blood-colored radiance.

Instead, it was a single point of his finger.

That single point—silent and subtle.

The finger point emitted a minute blood-red dot that pulsated outward.

The blood-red dot swelled rapidly into a blood-colored sphere of Divine Charm Light with a diameter spanning several meters!

The sphere, though blood-colored, was faint to the point of indescribable thinness—the traces of blood hue barely discernible.

Yet, its eeriness struck terror into onlookers’ hearts. That faint, blood-dripped sphere acted like swampy mire trapping prey. It instantly blocked the Sky Extinguishing Sword Light, wholly enveloping it.

As the Sword Light was encased, under the eyes of everyone watching... it began to corrode.

The exceedingly sharp, overwhelmingly strong, supremely resolute Sword Light was being eroded into void itself.

When the Sky Extinguishing Sword Light was corroded into nothingness, the Dark Oblivion Beam arrived.

But the Blood God Robe had already prepared.

This time, he didn’t meet it head-on but instead transformed into a blood-red mist, vanishing.

The Dark Oblivion Beam lost its target, dissolving into the limitless Void.

After the Dark Oblivion Beam dissipated, the Blood God Robe reappeared.

The process was so sinister, suffocatingly macabre—if not witnessed firsthand, no one would dare to believe it.

The sequence where the Blood God Robe neutralized Su Chen’s four consecutive ultimate moves took less than a hundredth of a breath.

It seemed elaborate.

Yet, to the Blood God Robe, it was swift to the extreme, simple to the extreme.

Only someone like the Blood God Robe could achieve such feats—others, like Heyue Nishang or Lan Hong Zhuang, could maybe stave off a single attack, and that would still require them risking their lives.

But the Blood God Robe neutralized all four strikes with such clarity, ease, and precision in a fraction of time.

What kind of strength was this?

Utterly terrifying!!!

It was like a battle between an adult and a child.

The Blood God Robe’s strength was indescribably overwhelming.

"He’s fled quite far now." When the Blood God Robe reappeared, he raised his head to glance in the direction Su Chen had fled.

He chuckled lightly.

Ever since he resolved to kill Su Chen, he had placed his aura on him, making it impossible for Su Chen to evade his pursuit, no matter how far he fled.

What’s more, Su Chen had only fled less than a fraction of a breath.

How far could he be?

Not very far. At this moment, Su Chen was approximately ten kilometers away from the Blood God Robe.

A fraction of a breath, yet ten kilometers away!? This speed was outrageous beyond words—likely Su Chen’s fastest in his lifetime.

But it was still not enough.

"Young boy Su, the Blood God Robe has dealt with your four strikes; he’s coming now." Jiuyou suddenly shouted, panicking, utterly losing composure.

Su Chen, however, abruptly halted.

"Why have you stopped running?" Jiuyou was on the brink of madness.

Su Chen bit his lip, his face pale, while his eyes brimmed with a crazed determination unlike anything Jiuyou had ever seen.

"Jiuyou, I can only die once." Su Chen’s voice rasped.

"What do you mean?" Jiuyou had an inkling.

"I can’t escape," Su Chen said coldly. "If I want to survive, the only way is to be reborn after placing myself in death’s embrace."

"And as long as your Divine Mansion remains intact, you cannot truly die. Are you saying you’re planning to die once in front of the Blood God Robe?" Jiuyou was beginning to understand. "But even if you die, the terrifying self-healing power inherent in your physique would quickly restore you. The Blood God Robe would be able to notice it."

"No. As long as I die thoroughly enough. Without using the Temporal Heavenly Dao. It will still require some time for me to self-heal, and might even fail to heal completely. I’ll bet on this brief moment when the Blood God Robe might leave." Su Chen’s voice grew even raspier: "I have no other choice, do I?"

His eyes were bloodshot, brimming with desperation.

Driven to the ultimate limits.

More hopeless even than the time Li Ping pursued him to the brink of annihilation; this time, he was utterly devoid of even the faintest glimmer of hope!

"Dying once might be a solution. But what do you mean by dying thoroughly enough?"

"Almost equivalent to complete self-destruction. Only by self-destructing will I qualify as thoroughly dead." Su Chen muttered, "But I cannot self-destruct because self-destruction means obliterating the Divine Mansion. If that happens, I would truly die—with no chance of remaining Undying and Indestructible. The only one who can execute this level of destruction is you, Jiuyou. You must ensure the thoroughness of my self-destruction while hiding the Divine Mansion. Jiuyou, it’s all up to you. Only you can control the degree of destruction—I trust you."

"I... I understand." Jiuyou fell silent for a few moments, agreeing. She knew they had been cornered to the absolute brink!!! No other option remained!

At this very instant.

The Blood God Robe emerged, appearing no more than tens of meters away from Su Chen.

He remained calm, quiet, and even smiled slightly as he addressed Su Chen: "Why aren’t you running anymore?"

"Heh..." Su Chen stared fixedly at the Blood God Robe, a gaze filled with emotions the Blood God Robe couldn’t fully decipher—resolve, playfulness, anticipation—a supremely strange look.

This bizarre gaze was something the Blood God Robe had never encountered before; he couldn’t describe it, but he knew he’d remember it.

Then.

Without warning!!!

BOOM!!!

In the gaze of the Blood God Robe.

He exploded.

Su Ling exploded without any precursors, violently and suddenly.

In an instant, Su Chen’s entire body splintered, splitting apart.

Blood sprayed through the air, transforming into a blood mist.

An earth-shattering force erupted, shaking the heavens.

The ground beneath him turned into a massive crater.

BOOM BOOM BOOM...

The devastating shock force seemed to shake the entire Heaven Earth Battle Tomb for a fleeting moment.

Hundreds of kilometers of surrounding space fell into obliteration, as if the Battle Tomb Plane itself teetered on the verge of becoming nothingness.

The extremity of self-destructive power swept across everything, shocking everywhere with blood-red devastation.

Even the Blood God Robe, standing too close to the blast and overwhelmed by its insane force, found his lips bloodied and face pale—he was injured.

Self-destruction!!!

Su Chen truly self-destructed.

"Damn it..." Far away, the Blood God Robe’s face darkened, almost dripping with water, a visage of unparalleled bitterness.

He could never have anticipated that Su Chen would suddenly self-destruct like this.

No prior warning.

No indication whatsoever.

Simply self-destruction.

How was this possible? He couldn’t wrap his mind around it.

But it was real—Su Chen had self-destructed, an unquestionable fact borne of undeniable evidence. The Blood God Robe had the discernment to tell as much.

If it were a false self-destruction, it couldn’t have exhibited such breathtaking magnitude, causing injury to even him.

Moreover, the entire world seemed to lose Su Chen’s aura completely—a total absence of his presence. Nothing could achieve this except self-destruction.

Furthermore, even his Divine Soul vanished—what else could this be but self-destruction?

"Shit!!!" The Blood God Robe burst into a vulgar curse, trembling with rage.

Miscalculation. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

A complete miscalculation.

He had a hunch that Su Chen’s self-destruction deprived him of an immense opportunity.

Now, before him, several thousand meters away was a colossal crater, plummeting over a kilometer deep.

At the bottom of the pit, buried beneath layers of dust, was a cluster of bloodied flesh—its core cradled the Divine Mansion.

The Blood God Robe didn’t notice.

Why would he? That bloodied flesh was utterly silent, and combined with his assumption that Su Chen had wholly self-destructed into nothingness, why would he consider checking further?

Within the Divine Mansion, Jiuyou was praying furiously: "Leave! Leave!! Leave!!!"

She was an anxious wreck.

For the first time in her life, she was overwhelmed by such urgency.

Because if the Blood God Robe lingered, the bloodied flesh would soon rebound with life—furiously regenerating. And then the Blood God Robe would surely realize.

Time pressed cruelly against them.

A genuine life-and-death scenario.

In the next breath.

Somewhere distant.

Far away.

The Blood God Robe murmured suddenly to himself, "It seems I’ll have to seek out the Divine Demon Emperor Tomb. Hopefully, I can find it soon enough."

Why was he here within the Heaven Earth Battle Tomb? Someone like him shouldn’t be in such a location.

There was a reason.

The Blood God Robe had come for the legendary Divine Demon Emperor Tomb.

Su Chen was an accident.

If he could gain something significant from that accident, all the better. While lamenting the lost opportunity, he could accept the outcome. After all, the Divine Demon Emperor awaited—the ultimate feast of legends; he couldn’t afford to lose sight of it.

With that, the Blood God Robe disappeared.

In that instant, Jiuyou nearly collapsed within the Divine Mansion.

He was gone—the Blood God Robe had left.

But his departing remarks burned into her memory.

Divine Demon Emperor Tomb!!!

Was there truly a Divine Demon Emperor Tomb within the Heaven Earth Battle Tomb?
