Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2825 - 2824: Thunder, Falling!

Following Lin Dong's chilling and resolute declaration, a moment of profound stillness descended upon the world. Then, an unprecedented sword intent erupted from him, akin to a river breaching its banks, utterly unstoppable.

This potent sword intent, a culmination of his lifelong cultivation and profound insights, represented his ultimate devotion to the Dao of the Sword and served as his most formidable offensive weapon. It was, in essence, his final verdict upon the enemy, Lei.

"Sword Two!" Lin Dong uttered softly, his voice resonating like a clap of thunder within the hearts of all present, despite its apparent lightness.

As his words faded, an intangible Sword Qi began to gather at his fingertips, gradually coalescing into a tangible form. This ethereal blade, as clear as jade, possessed an inner strength capable of shattering the world, an energy that could sever all bonds and dismantle any obstruction.

This formidable strike, christened "Sword Two," was the second manifestation of Lin Dong's mastery over the 'Wordless Sword Art' and currently stood as his most devastating lethal technique.

A subtle interplay of thunderous light and flickering flame coursed along the sword's body. This visual spectacle was the result of the sword intent's fusion with the very essence of Heaven and Earth, an undeniable testament to the extraordinary and terrifying power of this singular attack.

The sword itself was infused with the primal force of the five elements, granting it the capability to absorb their energies from all surrounding directions.

Moreover, the concentration of these elemental powers was significantly higher in this particular location, amplifying the sword's might far beyond its usual efficacy.

Confronted by this world-rending sword strike, Lei's pupils contracted sharply. He felt an overwhelming sense of impending doom, a crisis unlike any he had ever fathomed.

The sheer sword intent radiating from Lin Dong bore down upon him like a monolithic ancient mountain, pinning him in place, rendering him immobile.

With every ounce of his being, he strained to maintain the integrity of his dark light shield, desperately attempting to ward off the approaching cataclysm. Yet, waves of dread and utter despair washed over him, threatening to engulf him entirely.

"Sword Two" descended like a bolt of lightning rending the veil of night, a projectile imbued with unparalleled velocity and destructive force, aimed directly at Lei's most vulnerable point.

"Whoosh～～～～"

It was as if the very fabric of the cosmos had ruptured!

It was as if a celestial body had violently imploded!

It was as if the annihilating power of a cosmic singularity had been unleashed!

The sword hurtled towards Lei with an unstoppable, all-consuming momentum, like a whirlwind sweeping through withered grass and decaying wood.

"Boom～～～"

The dark light shield, positioned defensively before Lei, emitted a high-pitched, shattering shriek upon contact with the Sword Qi. It was as if a cascade of crystalline shards were instantaneously dispersed into the air, followed by the shield's complete obliteration, dissolving into nothingness.

Disbelief and profound despair contorted Lei's features as he bellowed, "Impossible!"

"You weren't merely boasting; you truly possess this terrifying ultimate move. Why did you delay its activation?"

This final, desperate outcry seemed to be his futile struggle against an unyielding fate, and simultaneously, his mournful acceptance of the inevitable.

Yet, fate offered him no solace. Lin Dong's "Sword Two" did not falter; it continued its relentless trajectory, piercing directly through Lei's physical form and obliterating his very soul.

In that suspended moment, Lei's body appeared to be ripped asunder by an unseen, malevolent force. Commencing from its core, his physical form gradually disintegrated into luminous motes of light, ultimately vanishing into the ether without the slightest trace.

His spirit and soul, too, were utterly extinguished under the corrosive onslaught of the Sword Qi. Even the faintest possibility of reincarnation was brutally denied him, consigning him to complete and utter disappearance from existence.

Lin Dong's decisive strike had not only severed Lei's mortal coil but had also irrevocably severed his potential for spiritual and soulful rebirth.

With Lei's absolute annihilation, an immense and involuntary weakness surged through Lin Dong's frame, threatening to submerge him entirely.

He drew a deep, steadying breath, attempting to anchor his trembling form, yet the pervasive exhaustion gnawing at his core was like an unyielding parasite, stubbornly clinging to his very essence.

"The sheer power of Sword Two is indeed overwhelming," Lin Dong mused internally, a complex blend of satisfaction and regret flickering in his gaze.

The preceding sword technique had not only annihilated Lei's physical existence but also his spirit and soul – a facet that undoubtedly constituted the most terrifying characteristic of Sword Two.

Nevertheless, this immense power had come at a substantial personal cost to Lin Dong.

Executing such a devastating technique while at the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven cultivation level represented the absolute zenith of his capabilities, nearly expending all his spiritual power and mental fortitude.

"Had I managed to preserve the opponent's spirit and soul intact, I might have had the opportunity to devour and absorb them, thereby augmenting my own mental power," Lin Dong reflected, a hint of yearning tinging his thoughts.

His unique Devouring Technique allowed him to assimilate the spirits and souls of others, accelerating the growth of his mental power.

At present, his mental power had already surpassed the fortieth level, leaving him temporarily unhindered by any developmental bottlenecks.

Consequently, he could potentially achieve further advancement by absorbing spirits and souls once more.

However, the crucial prerequisite for this was the intact preservation of the opponent's spirit and soul.

Alas, the overwhelming dominance of Sword Two had proven too absolute, annihilating even the spirit and soul, leaving absolutely nothing available for assimilation.

"If I could just reach the Third Layer of the Heavenly Realm, maybe I'd be able to wield 'Sword Two' more effectively. At the very least, I could use it twice without feeling so drained," Lin Dong pondered internally, his eyes gleaming with a mix of ambition and future hope.

At that point, his combat prowess would not only increase, but he would also gain finer control over the power needed for his first sword strike, thus sidestepping the adverse effects of losing that control.

Furthermore, advancing to the Third Layer of Heaven would grant him access to another formidable ability: the Law of Heaven and Earth.

The true extent of his mastery over the Law of Heaven and Earth at that stage remained a mystery, even to himself.

In the ensuing silence, Lei had already been reduced to mere ashes, fading into the atmosphere.

Naturally, the surrounding 'Sky Thunder Domain' dissipated along with its master's demise.

From this moment onward, no one in this world would ever again bear the name 'Lei'.

Meanwhile, the three remaining combatants on the battlefield—the Golden Buddha Kuerzan, the Gale Queen, and the Dragon Knight Vincent—were utterly astonished.

They had just witnessed Lei utterly annihilated by Lin Dong's blade, not even his soul managing to escape. A primal fear and profound awe began to stir within their hearts.

Golden Buddha Kuerzan clasped his hands together, his gaze complex as if engaged in prayer and deep contemplation.

The Gale Queen bit her lower lip, a blend of relief and apprehension coloring her expression. She was thankful not to have been Lin Dong's target, yet wary of this young Tianjiao's terrifying might.

Dragon Knight Vincent silently tightened his grip on his greatsword, his eyes alight with a combative gleam as he seemingly assessed the possibility of engaging Lin Dong next.

All three recognized that if Lin Dong's sword had been directed at any one of them earlier, their chances of survival would have been precisely zero.

This stark realization settled heavily upon them, amplifying their dread and reverence for Lin Dong.

The trio exchanged glances, each lost in the same critical thought.

Could Lin Dong unleash that same devastating sword strike a second time?

If not, then this presented a golden opportunity they couldn't afford to miss, especially with Lin Dong in his current weakened state.

"Esteemed companions, he likely cannot perform that same sword technique again. He is critically weakened right now, and we have become his adversaries. If we fail to eliminate him today, once he recovers, we will undoubtedly suffer the same fate as Lei," Vincent declared first, a palpable killing intent radiating from him.

He felt strongly that Lin Dong must not be allowed to leave alive; his life had to be taken while he was vulnerable.

It was evident that Golden Buddha Kuerzan and the Gale Queen shared this precise sentiment.

Exchanging a look, the two nodded in unison:

"Vincent speaks the truth. This is precisely the optimal moment to slay him. We absolutely cannot let this chance slip away!"
