Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2707 - 2706: Reciprocity

"I’m going to fight you five!"

The declaration from Lin Dong resounded through the atmosphere, exuding a commanding presence that brooked no challenge.

Positioned before the group of five, his stance remained erect and imposing, eyes burning with intensity, prepared to confront the brewing tempest.

A quick look passed between Winged Angel and Pravina, each detecting profound wariness and alertness in the other's stare.

Having clashed with Lin Dong in prior encounters, they understood that his power defied easy measurement, even for experts like themselves. Demanding a united assault from all five didn't seem excessive.

Winged Angel gave his wings a soft tap, golden plumage flashing brilliantly under the sun's rays, his protective measures engaged, set to unleash full abilities at the slightest twitch from Lin Dong.

Pravina maintained a steadier demeanor, easing back her bowstring with care, the golden arrow shining with icy menace in the light, primed for a deadly shot. Respect for Lin Dong's prowess filled her eyes, mingled with a spark of resentment.

In contrast, the faces of Thor, Alya, and Samantha displayed completely opposite emotions.

Thor clenched his fists hard, sparks of lightning flickering around him, poised to burst forth explosively.

His eyes bulged wide with incredulity and fury: "Arrogant! How dare you look down on us like this!"

Alya creased her brow, her wand quivering faintly as fiery energies converged at her fingers, igniting a blazing inferno. Drawing in a steadying breath, she sought to quell the turmoil within: "Lin Dong, your confidence is excessive."

Samantha stayed more collected, fingers interlocked, earthen forces gradually amassing nearby to erect a sturdy shield.

Fixing his eyes on Lin Dong, he conveyed both caution and uncertainty: "Do you truly believe you can triumph against all five of us combined?"

Noting their responses, Lin Dong's lips curved into a subtle grin. He lifted his hand gradually, letting a finger trace lazily through the atmosphere, sensing the subtle pulses of nearby elemental forces.

Speaking with steady determination, he declared: "I’m not boasting; I’m merely speaking the truth. United, the five of you could provide a bit of resistance, but barely that."

Like a keen blade slicing tension and doubt, his statement cut sharply through the heavy ambiance.

Thor, Alya, and Samantha shared a look, their shared fury unmistakable.

Never before had they faced such disdain from someone so young.

The quickest to flare up, Thor held back no longer and surged ahead, proclaiming, "Without relying on puppets, I could take you down by myself!"

No sooner had the words left his lips than he lunged at Lin Dong, unleashing the ancient technique known as ’Thunder Flame Wind Three-Sword Slash.’

Blending the essences of thunder, fire, and wind elements, this move represented a pinnacle of destructive harmony.

It ranked among his most potent hidden techniques!

As Thor's assault unleashed the might of thunder, fire, and wind, the atmosphere ripped open, a magnificent yet fearsome sword beam slashing across the heavens toward Lin Dong.

Encapsulating years of dedicated practice and profound insight into ancient combat forms, this was his ace reserved for dire threats.

Witnessing the onslaught, Lin Dong's eyes tightened slightly, dragon blood surging hotly within, unleashing a primordial and mighty presence from his core.

With no delay, he invoked the Dragon Blood Holy Body, evolving it into the Reverse Scale form!

A hidden technique that amplified the Dragon Blood Holy Body's resilience to its utmost, trading velocity for an almost impenetrable bodily fortress.

In an instant, Lin Dong's frame hardened like forged steel, radiating a subtle golden sheen, every scale bearing the immensity of peaks and the vastness of seas.

"Boom!" The powerful strike from Thor at last met Lin Dong's Dragon Blood Holy Body in Reverse Scale mode.

In that instant, heavens shifted hues, thunder boomed, gales screamed, fires raged unchecked—opposing powers collided savagely in the emptiness, detonating with a deafening blast.

Yet, to Thor's utter astonishment, his devastating move, able to cleave peaks and vanquish fiends, left no mark on Lin Dong's Reverse Scale barrier.

An unseen godly barrier cloaked Lin Dong's form; regardless of the thunder-flame-wind frenzy, nothing breached that luminous gold.

Thor's expression darkened instantly, sensing his Inner Qi draining away under the crushing weight of the foe's unyielding guard.

He could scarcely believe anyone below the Heavenly Realm's Third Layer Heaven might forge their physique to such heights.

Despite his lineage from an Ancient Martial Family, he conceded that this Lin Dong stood as the mightiest adversary of his existence.

"Impressive Dragon Blood Holy Body Reverse Scale Transformation! Today, I'll test if your guard holds flawless!" Thor bellowed in rage, pressing onward rather than withdrawing, fingers flashing through mudras to summon mightier combat arts.

At the same time, Lin Dong offered a light smile and uttered deliberately:

"We from the Dragon Country honor fairness in exchange. You can't strike without reply. My move now!"

Lin Dong's tone rang with unyielding force, every syllable laden with power.

Right after his words, the Yangxin Sword answered its owner's summons, morphing into a ray of brilliance that darted promptly to his grasp.

This legendary blade, Lin Dong's faithful companion in myriad skirmishes, now shone with frosty sharpness in his hold, its edge pulsing with a soft azure light, brimming with boundless vigor and essence of life.

Lin Dong drew a profound breath, clutching the hilt firmly, as his Inner Qi swelled like ocean waves, channeling entirely into the Yangxin Sword.

"Sword one!" He called out softly, brushing the blade's point before swinging it fiercely ahead.

The Yangxin Sword cleaved the void, its radiant beam banishing shadows like a shooting star in the dark, bearing apocalyptic force directly at Thor.

Thor's features twisted in alarm at the sight.

Though aware of Lin Dong's prowess, he hadn't anticipated such horrifying might from this blade.

Refusing to take risks, he hastily summoned the Sky Boundary Saint Body, encasing himself in aureate brilliance, resembling an invincible god set to repel Lin Dong's deadly thrust.

Typically, a Third Heaven Sky Boundary Saint Body could effortlessly ward off strikes from lesser cultivators.

At first, he was convinced this technique would suffice against any assault from Lin Dong.

But the truth struck back cruelly.

Guided by Lin Dong's control, the sword's glow intensified in splendor, appearing to slice through every barrier in existence.

Upon impact with Thor's Sky Boundary Saint Body, a sharp "crack" echoed, fissures spreading across the protective form.

Then, the Yangxin Sword, relentless like snapping reeds, shattered Thor's safeguard, dealing him grievous harm.

Thor's form hurtled back as if a severed kite, slamming hard onto the earth.

Blood seeped from his lip's edge, complexion ashen like snow, gaze brimming with terror and defiance.

Without the Thunder Clan's heirloom "Thunder Armor," that strike would have claimed his life.

The Thunder Armor, an ancestral relic of the Thunder Clan, could deflect the majority of blows. Now, it flickered dimly, shielding him from worse damage.

Nevertheless, Thor endured heavy wounds, his fighting ability sharply diminished.

In the meantime, Winged Angel and Pravina traded a look, shock evident in their gazes.

Both cried out in unison: "Second Heaven! Lin Dong, you've actually advanced to Second Heaven power!"

It was beyond their wildest expectations that, in mere moments, Lin Dong had ascended from First Heaven level to Second Heaven prowess!?
