Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2813 - 2812: Before Absolute Strength, All Else Is Powerless

Right then, Lei Zheng whispered to himself, his gaze profound and shifting, seemingly lost in deep thought.

"With your secret technique letting you sense far beyond others, I'll lure you right to me."

His tone stayed hushed and scheming, each phrase laid like a precise chess piece, set to unleash a clash of minds.

"Time for a scheme: draw you into my snare, and kick off this chase where the hunter stalks its quarry."

He spoke softly to himself, eyes gleaming with sly intent, now mulling over every aspect to craft a perfect ambush without tipping off his target.

...

In another region of the Five Elements Land, Lin Dong sped through the soaring mountains, his footwork nimble, touching down on the firmest stones with every bound, as though bonded mystically to the terrain.

His goal right now was tracking the Demon Emperor, delving deeper into the Five Elements Land, and hunting the fabled Origin Power.

Currently, he concentrated fully on detecting the surroundings. Thanks to his special secret technique, his awareness stretched way past normal limits, hard even for a Demon Emperor concealed in thick woods to evade.

A single day flew by, and Lin Dong, relying on sharp instincts and overwhelming power, took down two additional Demon Emperors.

From every fallen Demon Emperor, he drew out a thread of pure Five Elements Energy.

Boosted by this Five Elements Energy, Lin Dong broke through effortlessly from Mid Stage to Late Stage of the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven!

"Late Stage of Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven—solid progress. Maybe by climbing the Five Elements Stele summit, I'll push to the Peak of Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven," Lin Dong mused inwardly.

Still, he had quite a way to go before claiming first place.

As the sun sank in the west, Lin Dong perched on a mountaintop, eyes fixed on the dimming skyline, quietly reckoning in his mind.

So far, he'd slain twenty-four Demon Emperors—a strong tally, yet not enough for the top spot on the Five Elements Stele.

Especially against the enigmatic White-clothed Blood Monk, who'd dominated the leaderboard for years with an astonishing thirty-one Demon Emperor kills, earning universal awe.

Meanwhile, Lei's fortune that day proved poor. No matter his searches, not one Demon Emperor crossed his path, leaving his count stuck at twenty-two.

After Lin Dong overtook him, the distance between them only grew.

Lin Dong's nonstop victories had stretched the lead even wider instead of closing it.

"Overcoming him now looks impossible. That guy's too strong, with his Five Elements Physique plus all those skills, spotting Demon Emperors comes easy to him!"

"Only one surefire way to beat him for good: kill him outright!" Lei muttered, his murderous urge toward Lin Dong surging fiercer.

With that in mind, he pulled out the War God Token.

He broadcast his location once more, certain Lin Dong had claimed War God Tokens from other Yingjiang Country War Gods.

That way, Lin Dong could track him via the War God Token.

He chose this moment deliberately to pull Lin Dong toward him.

On top of that, he'd spread his aura across multiple spots.

All these moves aimed to make Lin Dong seek him out first.

At the same time, elsewhere in the Five Elements Land, Lin Dong balanced on a cliffside, clutching a War God Token taken from Yingjiang Country's War God.

Lei’s spot blinked steadily on the token as a red dot, radiating a vibe of eagerness and haste.

Lin Dong eyed the red dot intently, brows knitting, waves of suspicion churning inside.

"Lei exposed his position. On purpose?"

He whispered to himself, traces of wariness and uncertainty flashing in his gaze.

Nearby, War God Hei Long warned urgently:

"War God Lin, it's obviously a ploy. Could be an ambush waiting. He might've woven a web for you to stumble into."

War God Hei Long's advice held genuine worry, plainly hoping Lin Dong would steer clear of danger.

"Or maybe it's not solo—he could have backup from other elite powers under Secondary Ancestors hiding there."

"Like Kuerzan of Yujia Country and his unbreakable Vajra Body; Xiong Country's Gale Queen, unmatched in speed and might below Secondary Ancestors; plus Ancient European Country's Dragon Knight Vincent wielding his devastating Dragon Breath Swordsmanship..."

War God Hei Long quickly named a bunch of likely foes, striving to convince Lin Dong to dodge what could be a deadly snare.

Upon listening to this, Lin Dong gave a nod, a trace of agreement appearing on his features:

"You’re quite right, there’s indeed such a possibility."

However, his eyes grew firmer with resolve, "Even so, I still have to go!"

War God Hei Long, on hearing those words, revealed a look of astonishment and couldn’t help but question:

"Why, War God Lin? You know it might be a plot, even a trap—why go anyway?"

Lin Dong pivoted around, his gaze piercing like flames, as he flashed a poised and assured smile:

"Because all scheming and trickery are vulnerable before absolute strength!"

"Even if there’s a scheme, even if Lei indeed gathered numerous top-tier experts below the Secondary Ancestors, they can’t stop me, let alone kill me. Should I wish to leave, even a Secondary Ancestor couldn’t detain me! Since he wants me to go, haha, then I’ll go, and see just what trap he sets for me."

Lin Dong’s declaration radiated supreme assurance and command, making every barrier and trial appear as mere steps to loftier power in his sight.

Once his words landed, a subtle pressure emanated from his form—the aura of a supreme expert—making the ambient air quiver faintly.

War God Hei Long lingered silently at Lin Dong’s rear, staring at his stalwart silhouette with mingled emotions.

Those words struck like a mighty hammer, not just jolting his thoughts but immersing him in profound reflection.

Lin Dong’s bold, dominion-seizing aura swept through like a formless gale across the whole area, stirring War God Hei Long against his will.

Gazing upon Lin Dong’s steadfast and assured visage, a fresh rush of awe and reverence flooded his heart.

He realized profoundly that Lin Dong’s triumphs came not only from his phenomenal might, but from his indomitable will—the daring resolve to advance through any hardship.

Such a mentality represented a height that War God Hei Long deemed nearly unattainable.

"It’s perhaps this invincible spirit of War God Lin, the fearless mindset in the face of thousands, that has brought him this far." War God Hei Long mused to himself in silence.

He ceased his efforts to deter Lin Dong, as a spark of eager expectation ignited in his eyes.

He yearned to behold Lin Dong crafting another epic legend!
