Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2725 - 2724: Dracula Comes for Lin Dong!

Lin Dong readied himself to depart from the battle-scarred field, marked by the lingering scars of the clash.

Yet, in this pivotal instant, a formidable presence erupted abruptly, breaking the quiet with a thunderous impact deep within Lin Dong’s core.

Unlike the raw ferocity and wildness of the earlier demon beasts, this presence bore the composed profundity of a human warrior, tempered like a keen blade through countless fights and time.

Lin Dong’s eyebrows knit together faintly; he sensed plainly that the bearer of this presence held power at the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Realm.

Experts of this caliber are as scarce as phoenix plumes or unicorn horns, even amid the powerhouse-filled Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

Lin Dong steadied his mind swiftly, directing his focus entirely toward the origin of this presence.

He pivoted gradually, his eyes sharp as flames, cutting through veils of fog to lock onto an advancing silhouette.

The figure was a man with skin ashen to near translucency, like one untouched by daylight, radiating an uncanny vibe from the Ancient European Country.

His gaze was profound and vacant, as though it could swallow every ray of light, instilling an abrupt chill in the heart at mere sight.

"Who are you?" Lin Dong channeled Inner Qi to project a grand and spectral tone.

"Dracula..." the man uttered slowly.

Lin Dong echoed the name inwardly; he instantly identified the identity of this man from the Ancient European Country.

Back at the Dragon Country base in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, Heavenly Envoy Dugu Tian had shared details about the zone.

Included was a file detailing certain elite fighters on the battlefield.

Dracula stood out prominently in that list.

He ranked as a premier powerhouse in the top tier, just shy of the Secondary Ancestors.

On the Five Elements Stele, he held the fifth spot among Blood Clan masters, sustaining himself by consuming vital blood to boost his strength, with a semi-undead form and enigmatic powers.

The sanguinary emanation from this individual pressed upon Lin Dong like a soul-deep oppression, even as he confronted it.

Dracula moved with graceful poise, each stride as if dancing to an unseen rhythm, his shadow stretching ominously in the dying light of dusk.

His eyes lingered briefly on Lin Dong before settling on the Sword of Wuji gripped in his hand, a subtle flicker of avarice and desire gleaming in those empty depths.

"Quite surprising, running into a promising young powerhouse like you here in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield." Dracula’s tone was low and raspy, like a summons from far-off lands, laced with an enchanting pull.

An unsettling grin tugged at his lips, one that respected Lin Dong’s prowess while betraying the thrill of viewing him as quarry.

Lin Dong remained rooted in place, his stare steady and composed, while the Sword of Wuji quivered faintly in his grasp, as though bracing for the clash ahead.

Within the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, every soul could turn foe.

Or worse, seek your demise!

Confronting Dracula’s ghostly pallor that masked lethal threats, Lin Dong’s face grew more alert than before.

He narrowed his eyes a touch, his voice carrying a note of scrutiny and caution: "It seems you’ve come straight for me? Do you intend a duel to the death?"

At these words, an entertained smirk played on Dracula’s lips, his chuckle resounding over the desolate field, tinged with scorn and defiance:

"Young fellow, you’re certainly blunt. With you being so upfront, I’ll drop the pretense."

He halted briefly, his look sweeping over Lin Dong like one evaluating a rare treasure.

"Correct, I sought you out on purpose. I was eager to meet the remarkable figure who’s climbed to fifth on the Five Elements Stele, poised to overtake me soon. Seeing you now satisfies that curiosity!"

Dracula’s remark held a hint of praise, yet brimmed more with an elusive blend of feelings.

Lin Dong’s pulse stirred a bit, though he kept his poise vigilant and serene.

He understood that elites like Dracula avoided hasty moves and seldom bared their real motives.

Dracula pressed on at that point, "Regarding a deathmatch arrangement? Hah, I’m no fool to challenge someone who felled a Four-Star Demon Emperor. Besides, there’s no grudge between us, is there?"

Hearing this, Lin Dong offered a faint smile, unconcerned by Dracula’s honesty and offering no retort.

A subtle glint seemed to spark in Dracula’s eyes as he went on, "What’s this, Lin Dong, old friend? You doubt me? Haha, I, Dracula, relish combat but not pointless loss. Moreover, we share no profound grudge."

Lin Dong held his defensive stance, aware that despite the sincerity in Dracula’s speech, a larger scheme might lurk beneath.

He replied, "I don’t buy that you came solely to meet me. Would a Fourth Layer Heavenly Realm expert, fifth on the Five Elements Stele, have time to spare like that?"

Dracula’s mirth faded, his expression turning grave, before he spoke deliberately, "Fine, I admit I didn’t just come to gaze upon you; there’s a collaboration I wish to suggest."

With that, Dracula intentionally lingered, as if gauging Lin Dong’s response.

Lin Dong observed him intently with suspicion, awaiting what followed.

"This issue weighs heavily; if word got out, it could shake the whole Extraterrestrial Battlefield’s balance. Even secluded Secondary Ancestors might stir." Dracula’s phrasing dripped with allure and enigma, prompting Lin Dong to crease his brow.

Yet, right as Lin Dong geared up to probe deeper, Dracula altered his approach, stating:

"But the moment isn’t ripe to disclose it. Once you’ve truly bested my rank on the Five Elements Stele, I’ll seek you out anew."

On that note, Dracula’s form blurred, dissolving into a dark afterimage that vanished from Lin Dong’s view in an instant.

All that remained was Lin Dong in his spot, mind swirling with bewilderment and caution.

He realized Dracula’s visit held no simple intent. That abrupt talk of "cooperation" left him sensing deeper layers.

"What’s Dracula’s real aim in zeroing in on me?" Lin Dong muttered under his breath.

"No matter, onward we go—the War God Ranking contest looms near. I vowed to Heavenly Envoy Dugu Tian to fight for the Dragon Country War Department. I won’t renege!" Lin Dong resolved inwardly.

Breaking oaths didn’t sit well with him.

Particularly in matters crucial to the nation!
