Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2774 - 2773: Breaking Into the Top 3!

Should he unleash ’Sword two’ afterward, drained to his limits, the white-clothed blood monk might seize the opportunity to slay him.

He would truly be doomed then.

Furthermore, he yearned to test whether he could fell a peak four-star demon emperor without relying on Sword two.

Evidently, by combining the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, Sword of Wuji, and Sword one as his aces, he triumphed.

Right now, Lin Dong had concluded his fight.

He glanced at the white-clothed blood monk opposite him and saw that the battle there had also wrapped up.

Employing a technique resembling Buddhist arts but infused with demonic essence, he had slain that four-star demon emperor Dawn Silver Wolf.

Once it was felled, he turned his gaze to Lin Dong, their eyes locking fiercely.

The white-clothed blood monk declared, "Lin Dong, my young friend, from six demon emperors in total, you took down four while I handled two. This round, you’ve bested me!"

Lin Dong clasped his hands, a trace of caution in his tone, replying, "Pure luck. Truthfully, with your power, slaying four demon emperors is within reach. You haven’t unleashed your full might yet, after all."

The white-clothed blood monk shook his head, stating, "Outcomes stand as they are! Plus, you must have hidden aces, correct? That strike you unleashed on the Moonlit Grey Wolf earlier—wasn’t your ultimate move, was it?"

"I took a mission to simultaneously eliminate a Blood Clan’s four-star Blood Emperor and Macaron, yet couldn’t pull it off!"

"Oh?" Lin Dong’s eyes flashed at these words, his vigilance sharpening further, since this fellow clearly knew such details, meaning deliberate probing.

How could Lin Dong not stay on guard against someone digging into him on purpose?

The white-clothed blood monk, sensing Lin Dong’s thoughts, chuckled and said:

"Lin Dong, my young friend, wondering why I know about that?"

"I visited the battlefield where you slew Macaron. There, I detected a four-star Blood Emperor’s aura lingering, leading me to deduce that in that clash, you didn’t just take out Macaron—you also dispatched a four-star Blood Emperor."

Lin Dong’s wariness toward this man intensified.

Simply by visiting that site and piecing it together, it showed he was no ordinary figure.

"Lin Dong, my young friend, why hold back from drawing in the wood energy from those demon emperors you felled?" The white-clothed blood monk gazed at Lin Dong with a sly, knowing smile.

The four demon emperors Lin Dong had slain now released their wood energy, drifting through the air.

Yet Lin Dong hadn’t rushed to claim it right after the kills, unlike before.

Instead, he allowed it to hover untouched.

This caution stemmed precisely from his distrust of the white-clothed blood monk.

"Haven’t you claimed your own loot yet?" Lin Dong countered with a grin.

"Haha, since we’re both on guard against one another, why not refine our gains side by side? Sound good?" the white-clothed blood monk proposed bluntly.

"By all means, go ahead!" Lin Dong gestured invitingly, urging the other to start.

The white-clothed blood monk reached out virtually, drawing his two portions of wood energy from the spoils into himself.

Lin Dong, naturally, didn’t idle; he too grabbed remotely, hauling in his four shares of wood energy before devouring them into his core.

Both began refining the wood energy.

As four streams of wood energy surged inside him, Lin Dong sensed his power surging steadily.

A subtle momentum built toward advancing from mid-stage Second Heaven to late stage!

Breakthroughs for Heavenly Realm Martial Artists demand immense energy reserves—especially for Lin Dong, who required far more.

He needed multiples of the energy others did to ascend one heaven.

This stemmed from post-Heavenly Realm promotion: ordinary cultivators nurtured a single spirit and soul, but Lin Dong commanded three—heaven, earth, and man!

Heavenly Realm cultivation centered on forging spirits and souls; only their strengthening propelled realm progress.

While others bolstered one, Lin Dong had to empower three at once, thus demanding vastly greater energy.

...

Meanwhile, near the Five Elements Stele.

After Lin Dong felled four demon emperors and absorbed their four wood energies, the Five Elements Stele refreshed his kill tally once more.

It jumped from fifteen to nineteen.

In one stroke, he overtook Dracula’s seventeen!

Not just that—he vaulted past third-place Tian Sha’s eighteen too!

Leaping straight to third overall!

Witnessing this, the crowd around the Five Elements Stele erupted in fresh astonishment.

"Lin Dong’s too ferocious, right? Suddenly claiming four demon emperors?"

"And per the Five Elements Stele, they were a peak four-star demon emperor, a three-star, a two-star, and a one-star!"

"All logged at once, meaning Lin Dong confronted them simultaneously—and wiped them out in a flash!"

"Insanely strong! Beneath secondary ancestors, who rivals him?"

"His prowess perfectly justifies his spot. I’d wager he could clash with the top-ranked white-clothed blood monk, that monster dubbed the Extraterrestrial Kill God."

"..."

Chatter swelled and echoed.

At the same time, these onlookers relayed the update to their affiliated powers.

In the Golden Spear Wilds of the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.

Dracula prowled a grassy expanse, hunting demon emperor trails. Spotting a weaker one, he’d pursue and eliminate it.

Sensing a superior foe, he’d evade!

For equals, slaying proved tough—the foe might flee even if outmatched.

Thus, demon emperor hunting was grueling work.

Even as top-tier beneath secondary ancestors, bagging them wasn’t casual; he couldn’t strike at will.

That’s why, despite years on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, his count lingered at seventeen.

Suddenly, a message arrived.

"Lord Dracula, the Five Elements Stele rankings shifted again. Lin Dong overtook you. He just burst through four demon emperors, hitting nineteen total!"

"That’s two beyond your count..."

"He rocketed to third place!"

"Wow!"

Stunned by the report from his clan’s Five Elements Stele informant, Dracula froze for a beat.

"Wasn’t he hurrying back for the War Department Competition? How’d he rack up so many demon emperors out of nowhere?"

"Worse, four in one go."

"Lin Dong, Lin Dong... I truly underestimated you. Fascinating—utterly fascinating."

"I’m ever more eager for that event... Had you joined me, we might’ve truly seized that artifact..." he murmured.

Beyond him, other powers learned of Lin Dong’s vault from fifth to third on the Five Elements Stele.

The entire Extraterrestrial Battlefield buzzed and ignited anew over him.
