Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife

Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Tianyuan City, Reunion with Zi Yuan and Emperor Xi Yue’s Daughter!

But Jiang Han’s face was ashen, his voice icy. "You think that by relying on a Secret Technique to temporarily raise your realm, you can contend with me? Let me tell you, the chasm between the Heavenly Realm and the Transcendent Realm isn’t something a mere one realm can bridge!"

"Then let’s try it!" Chen Xiao was utterly unafraid.

"Kill!" Jiang Han’s figure instantly blurred into an afterimage, shooting out.

A sky‑filling killing intent erupted along with him.

His palm suddenly pressed down fiercely toward Chen Xiao!

Chen Xiao immediately raised his sword and cleaved toward him!

"Bang—"

Their bodies smashed together violently.

Jiang Han showed no mercy, both hands fiercely pounding at Chen Xiao’s defenses.

Chen Xiao pushed the Flying Swallow Thirteen Swords to the Ultimate, sword shadows dense and impenetrable!

That violent Sword Qi was likewise constantly probing for openings in Jiang Han’s defense amid the battle.

Yet he was still at a disadvantage, forced to retreat again and again.

Although his Cultivation had now temporarily risen to Transcendent Peak! In reality, however, there was still a full two small realms between Transcendent Peak and a Heavenly Realm expert!

Half-step Transcendent and Early-stage Tongtian Realm!

That was indeed a massive chasm!

In the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged more than a dozen rounds.

Chen Xiao, though forced back repeatedly, had not suffered any fatal injuries.

Only a trace of blood stained the corner of his mouth.

Strong!

Heavenly Realm experts were indeed powerful!

The surrounding people were already completely numb.

This young man was simply a monster, actually using Transcendent Realm Peak Cultivation to fight a Heavenly Realm expert like Jiang Han for more than a dozen exchanges!

And he barely had any injuries on him.

Jiang Han’s eyes were bloodshot, his teeth clenched.

Chen Xiao’s ability to overcome higher realms had completely, utterly exceeded his imagination!

What kind of freak was this guy?

He took a deep breath, and his gaze suddenly became incomparably sharp!

"Brat, today I’m going to grind your bones to dust!"

As his roar fell, a mass of pitch‑black, evil light suddenly surfaced on his palm. "This Heart Shattering Palm is a remnant Low Grade Heavenly Level Martial Technique I obtained by chance. For you to die under it today can be considered your good fortune!"

As his words fell, that hair‑raising aura in his palm kept gathering and rising...

Chen Xiao also felt a tremendous danger bearing down on him.

He suddenly clenched his teeth! fгeewebnovёl.com

Then, a blood‑colored copper mirror appeared on his palm, radiating a faint oppressive pressure.

He crazily poured power into the Blood Demon Mirror!

Chen Wushuang had said that this Blood Demon Mirror needed a sea‑like amount of Spiritual Power to activate. Normally, only after reaching the Heavenly Realm could he unleash even a sliver of this Holy Artifact’s power!

However, under his full‑force activation, the Blood Demon Mirror actually emitted a faint glow...

Chen Xiao instantly felt the power in his entire body completely drained by the Blood Demon Mirror!

The emptiness made his head spin.

As if he’d been squeezed dry!

At this moment, Jiang Han had also finished activating the Heart Shattering Palm and was already striking at Chen Xiao. Vast Palm Force swept out, making the hearts of the surrounding onlookers seize up, their legs going weak!

"Kill!" Chen Xiao used the very last trace of Spiritual Power to activate the Blood Demon Mirror!

A blood‑colored ray shot out like a meteor.

"Puchi—" In an instant, the blood light shredded that vast Palm Force completely, then, as fast as lightning and as unstoppable as rotten wood before the axe, it pierced straight through Jiang Han’s body. Under his horrified gaze, it directly carried him through and out the other side on the spot!

Jiang Han’s body crashed heavily to the ground, eyes bulging, a huge bloody hole in his chest...

In the end, with eyes full of unwillingness, his head lolled to the side and he utterly ceased to breathe.

Chen Xiao was also gasping heavily, half‑kneeling weakly on the ground. The Spiritual Power in his body was completely empty, blood constantly coughing from his mouth. With the combined strain of the Sky Sun Burst Spirit Method and the Blood Demon Mirror, he had force‑killed a Heavenly Realm expert, but he himself was in no better shape.

Right now, even if a little kid ran over, they could kill him.

The surroundings erupted in an uproar.

Everyone’s faces were filled with disbelief.

Chen Xiao’s body trembled slightly as he struggled to his feet.

However, at this moment, several more figures suddenly pressed toward him.

The auras of these figures were extremely powerful.

One among them was actually a Heavenly Realm expert.

They looked at the Blood Demon Mirror in Chen Xiao’s hand, eyes blazing hot.

This was definitely an extraordinary Magic Treasure!

Its power was too strong; it could even slay a Heavenly Realm expert.

Chen Xiao looked at them coldly. "You want to seize what’s in my hand?"

"Young man, we’re just curious and would like to borrow it for a look." An old man said with a hearty smile, but his gaze was fixed tightly on the Blood Demon Mirror in Chen Xiao’s hand.

If they could get such a Magic Treasure, their strength would definitely soar!

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a cold laugh.

Anyone with eyes could see what these guys were thinking.

It seemed the old saying was true: wealth should not be flaunted, or it would surely draw others’ covetous gazes.

That Heavenly Realm expert smiled faintly. "Young man, this copper mirror looks very similar to a Magic Treasure my grandfather lost back in the day. I wonder if you’d be willing to return it to me?"

Although Chen Xiao had just displayed terrifying strength and slain a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.

But he also saw that Chen Xiao was already a spent arrow, with no strength left to fight. Faced with such a powerful Magic Treasure, he couldn’t help but grow greedy.

This one was even more shameless!

He couldn’t even be bothered to come up with an excuse and wanted to just snatch it directly.

"If you want what’s in my hand, then we’ll see if your life is hard enough to take it." He sneered. "Don’t end up like this guy here, dying with your eyes open."

"You stole my grandfather’s Magic Treasure. Now I’m taking it back—perfectly justified." That Heavenly Realm expert stepped into the air, raising his hand to snatch the Blood Demon Mirror from Chen Xiao. A vast power pressed down, killing intent suddenly erupting!

He’d moved to kill!

However... before his hand could land on Chen Xiao, his body suddenly couldn’t move at all.

A terrifying pressure enveloped him.

His hair stood on end as cold swept through him. "Wh–which senior is hiding in the dark? Just now I was blind and ignorant, I shouldn’t have tried to seize your treasure!"

He thought the other party was also coveting the Blood Demon Mirror in Chen Xiao’s hand.

However, Chen Wushuang’s cold voice came from inside the inn. "This treasure is what I gifted my son in the first place. Where does this ’seizing’ talk even come from?!"

As those words fell, everyone’s expressions shifted slightly!

No wonder this young man’s strength was so terrifying. So there was an exceedingly terrifying expert backing him up!

That Heavenly Realm expert was already drenched in sweat. "Sir... I misjudged just now. This treasure isn’t something my grandfather left behind. I’ll leave, I’ll leave right now!"

"Since you’re already here, then stay." Chen Wushuang’s tone was incomparably calm.

The next second, under everyone’s shocked gaze, that Heavenly Realm expert was like he’d been seized in the grip of an invisible giant hand—his body exploded on the spot into a cloud of blood mist!

The few people who had just been pressing toward Chen Xiao turned pale and frantically retreated.

However, it was already too late!

In midair, several streaks of Sword Qi abruptly appeared.

"Puchi! Puchi!"

They were all sliced in half at the waist on the spot, dying instantly, not even seeing who it was that had struck.

"Disperse." Chen Wushuang’s indifferent voice rippled out...

All the onlookers felt as if they’d been pardoned, scattering in a mad rush.

Chen Xiao also let out a breath of relief.

After returning to the inn, Chen Wushuang appeared in front of him, frowning slightly as he stared at him. "The man who is not guilty, yet bears guilt for the jade he holds—you daring to fight that guy head-on was indeed commendable."

"But pulling out such a treasure in front of everyone is bound to draw greed. If I hadn’t been here just now, you’d probably be dead."

"Be more careful next time."

Chen Xiao gave an awkward smile. "If Father wasn’t here, I wouldn’t have been so high-profile either."

"If I weren’t here, what would you have done?"

"Lure him somewhere remote, then kill him." Chen Xiao said calmly.

"Mm, not bad." Chen Wushuang nodded in satisfaction. "There shouldn’t be any more trouble tonight. Rest for a day, then we’ll head straight for Tianyuan City."

The next day, the three of them boarded the Spiritual Ship, setting off from Tianze City toward Tianyuan City.

The journey was uneventful.

Over these three days, Chen Xiao had been in seclusion, focusing on breaking through to the Late Transcendent Realm.

After all, the Tianyuan Secret Realm was no simple place.

It wasn’t just a battlefield for the younger generation; many Transcendent Realm Peak experts who’d long since made a name for themselves would be coming as well. These experts had been at Transcendent Realm Peak for many years and were extremely powerful.

Most of them were coming to the Tianyuan Secret Realm to seek opportunities to break through to the Heavenly Realm in one fell swoop.

Before entering the Tianyuan Secret Realm, as long as one’s strength was below the Heavenly Realm, they could enter. But after entering, breaking through to the Heavenly Realm inside was something the rules of the Secret Realm allowed.

For Chen Xiao, opponents like that were a huge threat.

So the stronger he was, the more assurance he had.

Three days later, just as they were about to reach Tianyuan City, Chen Xiao successfully broke through to the Late Transcendent Realm. Feeling the surging, majestic power coursing through his body, he smiled in satisfaction.

This way, when fighting over the Netherworld Fruit with those people inside the Tianyuan Secret Realm, he’d have a few more points of confidence.

He left his room after finishing his seclusion.

Chen Xiao went to Li Kani’s room. The little girl had been bored out of her mind; when she saw Chen Xiao, she immediately put on a wronged expression and pitifully threw herself into his arms to complain.

Chen Xiao could only comfort her gently.

The two of them walked out onto the deck of the Spiritual Ship, overlooking the land below from midair together.

In the distance, a massive city appeared within their field of view.

"Tianyuan City, we’re almost there..." Chen Xiao murmured.

Just then, an announcement also sounded from the Spiritual Ship. "Tianyuan City will be reached shortly. Fellow Daoists, please make your preparations."

The many Martial Artists riding the Spiritual Ship all came out one after another, gazing toward Tianyuan City in the distance.

Chen Wushuang, dressed in white, walked out from inside.

Half an hour later.

The Spiritual Ship landed successfully.

And just as they landed, Chen Xiao saw several other Spiritual Ships also descending into this area.

"Looks like the Tianyuan Secret Realm Opening really has drawn quite a crowd this time." Chen Xiao sighed.

"Tianyuan City was built because of this Tianyuan Secret Realm in the first place. Every three years, during the period when the Tianyuan Secret Realm opens, is when Tiantianyuan City is at its liveliest." Chen Wushuang said.

Just then, Chen Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly!

Because from another Spiritual Ship, he saw a familiar figure.

Zi Yuan!!

Surrounded by a group of Xuantian Sect Martial Artists, she walked down from the Spiritual Ship like an exalted Princess.

Beside her walked a purple-haired young girl, her expression pure as she curiously looked all around. It was none other than Zi Ling, with whom he’d had a brief encounter previously!

From another Spiritual Ship on the other side, Emperor Xi Yue stepped down, draped in a moon-white long dress, escorted by many experts of the Great Zhou Imperial Family.

Chen Xiao was a bit taken aback. It seemed that this time, almost everyone had gathered.

He’d actually run into quite a few old acquaintances.
