Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2710 - 2709: Instant Kill!
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
In that instant, Lin Dong abruptly initiated a form of sorcery.
'Next, I'll employ a different sorcery to seize a fragment of your spirit and soul.'
'Therefore, Pravina, starting now, your fate will be tightly linked to mine, entirely in my grasp. Do you agree?'
Lin Dong's tone rang out low and commanding, every syllable resembling an etched symbol in the atmosphere, carrying an unyielding compulsion.
Pravina knelt down and declared, 'I agree; Master may do whatever he desires to me!'
Lin Dong gave a nod and gradually lifted the witch stone held in his palm, an old and enigmatic artifact inscribed with intricate designs and incantations, radiating a subtle luminescence as though it could pierce the innermost mysteries of the soul.
This was the item the Sovereign Witch had directed him to acquire from the inheritance grounds.
Right then, Lin Dong inhaled deeply and started murmuring an archaic and chilling incantation softly.
This technique, called the 'Soul Capturing Spell,' formed one of the taboo methods taught to him by the Sovereign Witch, allowing it to ensnare a segment of someone's spirit and soul, thus gaining total dominance over that individual.
While Lin Dong intoned the words, the incantation slowly formed in the atmosphere as an unseen energy, akin to an intangible tether, gradually reaching out toward Pravina.
Pravina sensed this energy drawing near, and an intense wave of pressure flooded her chest unlike anything before.
Her resolve instinctively fought back, yet against the might of this primal sorcery, her efforts appeared utterly feeble.
As the chanting intensified, a sharp pang erupted within her, feeling as if an unseen fist clenched her spirit and soul, pulling it away bit by bit.
'Ah!' Pravina couldn't suppress a scream of anguish, her frame starting to shake, her gaze brimming with torment and despair.
Still, she understood this ordeal had to be withstood; failure meant Lin Dong could never place full faith in her!
Lin Dong fixed his eyes on her sharply, the witch stone in his grip shining ever more intensely until at last, a thread of azure vapor emerged from Pravina's brow, gradually blending into the witch stone.
In that instant, Pravina's stare grew blank and unfocused briefly; a portion of her spirit and soul had been effectively seized by Lin Dong.
Lin Dong detected the subtle throb coming from the witch stone he clutched, the mark of Pravina's spirit and soul, and with a mere notion, he held the power to end her existence.
'Pravina, you're mine completely now.' Lin Dong's words carried a hint of triumph, his look toward Pravina brimming with the assurance of total mastery.
As for Pravina, she appeared as a hollow vessel devoid of essence, henceforth Lin Dong's marionette, forbidden from entertaining any notions of defiance against him.
Naturally, while the Soul Capturing Spell held immense power, it also carried unpredictable repercussions.
Although Lin Dong had claimed a piece of Pravina's spirit and soul, her determination hadn't fully shattered. She preserved her own mind, but any intent to turn traitor would let Lin Dong extinguish her instantly.
With this deed done, his Eye of Illusion, which could weave deceptive visions, once more released an odd shimmer, twinkling like the most radiant celestial bodies in the darkness, captivating yet fraught with danger.
As the glow slowly receded, Lin Dong's form gradually materialized from the fabricated realm born of his intent, stepping back into the grim and unforgiving world.
Pravina remained rooted in place, her expression a tangled mix of feelings.
She fully realized her decision had thrust her onto a path from which there was no return.
Lin Dong's directives, like unyielding metal shackles, securely chained her future.
But within this gloom, she glimpsed a spark of possibility: should Lin Dong realize his destiny and rise as the supreme figure in Martial Arts History over ten millennia, aligning herself with him could prove a grand fortune.
'Pravina, now, it's time for your vow.' Lin Dong's voice sounded deep and forceful, each term hitting Pravina's core like a massive mallet.
His statement left no room for doubt, only ironclad determination.
'Go assist me in slaying Alya and retrieving her spirit and soul. Regarding Thor and Samantha, I'll handle them personally.'
Pravina bowed her head, her hands balling into tight fists, her nails nearly piercing her skin; this was the only ache she could sense, the mere evidence of her being in that moment.
'Yes, Master.' Her tone was soft but firm, then her silhouette blurred, turning into a beam of radiance, darting rapidly toward the route Alya might have taken.
At the same time, Lin Dong's shape paused momentarily where he stood, before an astonishing velocity surged through him, surpassing mortal boundaries, outpacing sonic speeds by manyfold, distorting the nearby space as though rippling a calm pond.
Resembling a blazing comet cutting through the heavens, he zeroed in on Samantha's position.
Hundreds of kilometers distant, Thor, Alya, and Samantha fled in panic, their minds gripped by dread of the unseen and profound concern for one another's safety.
Even after putting distance between themselves and that deadly zone, the choking weight of Lin Dong's presence seemed to hang in the air, preventing any ease.
'Alya, Samantha, we should separate; this might ensure at least two of us survive!' Thor's words rang out.
In his thinking, despite Lin Dong's prowess, he remained just one man, unable to divide his attention across locations.
Separating could allow two to slip away.
Yet clearly, they had misjudged their chances.
Given their pace, how could Lin Dong permit their getaway?
They had scarcely parted ways and covered a few hundred kilometers when Lin Dong already overtook Samantha!
He targeted Samantha first because Thor had suffered wounds from Lin Dong earlier, slowing him compared to her.
Upon spotting Lin Dong, Samantha uttered quietly, 'Lin Dong, do you really have to pursue us without mercy? We've opted to run, but you still plan to eliminate us?'
'In the Heavenly Martial Arts Circle, there's a rule: those who flee should be spared; please let me live?'
At these words, Lin Dong nearly burst into laughter.
'Samantha, aren't your statements simply ridiculous?'
Lin Dong saw no point in further talk and struck immediately.
Since he still had to confront Thor afterward, he sought a quick finish; hence, from the outset, he unleashed his most potent abilities.
On the bodily front, he triggered the Dragon Blood Holy Body Reverse Scale Transformation, rendering his corporeal defenses incredibly formidable, while his velocity hit unprecedented heights.
Then, he swiftly formed the 'Sword of Wuji'!
'Kill!'
The Sword of Wuji swung toward Samantha!
'Pff—' Samantha's head was severed by Lin Dong in a single blow.
Instant death!
Samantha's body collapsed, her head detached, the eyes in the severed head still staring in shock, clearly failing to grasp even in death how Lin Dong's power was so horrifying as to slay him in an instant.
