Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2851 - 2850: You Underestimated Me

The 'Water Origin' and Lin Dong, their disguises completely discarded, commenced their intense battle within the ancient forest.

The wind's fierce howl and the scattering of leaves signaled the forest's own tremor in response to the confrontation.

The colossal tree demon, aligning itself with Water Origin, joined the fray, its immense branches whipping through the air, imposing relentless pressure upon Lin Dong.

Maintaining its 'Tian Sha' guise, Water Origin's voice, sharp and chilling as an arctic gale, sliced through Lin Dong's hearing, inquiring:

"Human whelp, you were bested by the tree demon. Do you truly believe you can triumph against our combined assault?"

It had observed Lin Dong's struggle with the tree demon moments before, misinterpreting his actions as genuine weakness.

However, this was all a meticulously crafted deception by Lin Dong.

For both 'Tian Sha' and Lin Dong were manifestations of the Shadow Emperor!

Furthermore, Lin Dong embodied a vastly superior echelon of the Shadow Emperor.

While it was a mere Golden Rooster Award equivalent, Lin Dong stood as the Oscar of Shadow Emperors.

At this juncture, a subtle smile graced Lin Dong's lips, a peculiar luminescence flashing within his eyes:

"So, you are not the true Tian Sha; the genuine article would never utter such words. You genuinely believe I was incapable of defeating that tree demon? Your underestimation of me is palpable."

Before his declaration concluded, Lin Dong moved with the swift grace of a soaring eagle, ascending into the sky. The long sword in his grasp ignited with a blinding brilliance—a testament to his mastery of the 'Sword of Wuji'.

This formidable sword, imbued with his boundless Qi, was directed unerringly towards the tree demon's Achilles' heel: the nexus of its roots.

Witnessing this, Water Origin's demeanor shifted drastically, though it quickly resumed a sneering facade:

"The tree demon's defenses are formidable. How could you possibly breach them? It is renowned for its resilience, rivaling that of your human Martial Artists of the Fourth Heaven's Heavenly Realm. As a mere Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, its defenses are beyond your reach."

It firmly believed the tree demon's natural armor was impenetrable, capable of nullifying any strike from Lin Dong.

Yet, before its pronouncement could fully dissipate, an utterly astonishing spectacle unfolded.

Like the first rays of dawn piercing the darkness, Lin Dong's sword effortlessly sliced through the tree demon's robust defenses.

With a swift arc of its luminous blade, the tree demon's thick roots were severed. Emerald sap erupted from the wound, cascading onto the surrounding earth, painting it a vibrant green.

A piercing shriek emanated from the tree demon as its immense form began to convulse.

Water Origin's eyes widened in sheer disbelief, utterly stunned by the unfolding events.

It had been convinced that Lin Dong, a mere Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, posed no threat to the ancient arboreal entity.

However, reality had delivered a brutal counterargument.

"This… How is such a feat possible?" Water Origin stammered, its voice strained.

Lin Dong descended gracefully, retrieving his longsword. His gaze rested upon the fallen tree demon, his expression devoid of elation or sorrow.

He stated calmly, "Impossibility is merely a perception. What you witnessed earlier was but a performance, a strategic gambit."

"A creature like that tree demon could never hope to match my true capabilities."

Water Origin regarded Lin Dong, its gaze reflecting a complex swirl of emotions.

A dawning realization began to take root: this human youth was far more than he initially appeared.

It recognized the immediate need to reassess Lin Dong's actual strength and the potential danger he represented.

Nevertheless, the conflict had not yet reached its conclusion. Water Origin drew a deep, steadying breath, consolidating its power within its hands.

It understood that the ensuing exchange would prove decisive in determining the victor.

"Human child, you have undoubtedly surprised me. Yet, this does not guarantee your victory over me," Water Origin declared with icy resolve:

"I shall now unleash one of my most potent trump cards. Should you manage to withstand it, I will concede your right to stand as my equal."

"Equal footing? Heh, who desires parity with you? My aim is to vanquish you entirely, and then absorb your essence." Lin Dong's voice echoed with the same frigid intensity as the winter wind.

Fierce determination blazed in his eyes, fueled by an unwavering desire for triumph and an insatiable hunger for greater power.

Water Origin let out a contemptuous sneer:

"Two-legged creature, you possess an inflated sense of self-importance, do you not? Do you truly believe yourself to be extraordinary? Merely overcoming a tree demon of the Three-star Demon Emperor level grants you the audacity to speak to me in such a manner?"

"To aspire to defeat me while remaining beneath the Junior Patriarch's level? A futile dream. Your consumption is a far more attainable objective, enabling my own ascension to the ranks of what you term a Junior Patriarch-level existence."

With its pronouncement made, Water Origin commenced drawing upon the ambient Water Origin forces.

The ethereal mist permeating the atmosphere seemed to awaken, coalescing and condensing into countless droplets of pristine clarity.

These droplets, appearing innocuous at first glance, each harbored an incredibly potent destructive capacity, capable of rending space and annihilating all in their path.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh～～" A series of sharp whistling sounds accompanied the onslaught as the droplets, resembling a dense barrage of rain arrows, hurtled towards Lin Dong.

Their sheer numbers were astounding, likely numbering in the tens of thousands, a truly breathtaking spectacle.

Each droplet was equivalent to the full-power Sword Qi of a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, its contained power so immense that a single droplet could annihilate an ordinary village.

Faced with the overwhelming and formidable assault of these droplets, Lin Dong's expression shifted naturally.

He was acutely aware that this onslaught was far beyond the capacity of ordinary beings to endure.

Therefore, at the crucial juncture, he unhesitatingly activated one of his ultimate defenses—the Body Dragon Blood Saint Body Reverse Scale Transformation.

With a profound dragon's roar, Lin Dong's physique commenced a dramatic metamorphosis. His skin hardened to the consistency of dragon scales, emitting a metallic sheen.

His strength surged, seemingly capable of convulsing the heavens and earth.

Nonetheless, even within the Body Dragon Blood Saint Body Reverse Scale Transformation state, Lin Dong did not dare to become overconfident.

He further executed the Limitless Transformation, integrating his corporeal form with the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence, to dissipate the attack's potency.

"Boom boom boom boom～～～" Amidst thunderous explosions, those energy-laden droplets impacted Lin Dong.

They detonated upon his body, unleashing brilliant light and formidable impacts.

At that instant, the vicinity where Lin Dong stood was enveloped in smoke and rising mushroom clouds.

The entire forest appeared to tremble under the strike, as though the very fabric of heaven and earth quaked at this terrifying might.

Water Origin, having expended this move and still retaining its 'Tian Sha' form, abruptly detected Lin Dong's absence of breath.

Presuming Lin Dong had been annihilated by the assault, it could not help but laugh heartily.

"I declared it, human two-legged beast, you are insignificant before me. It appears I overestimated you; I thought that under this onslaught, you would not be completely obliterated. "

"Who would have known, you'd turn to dust, vanishing without a trace of breath. A pity, I had intended to devour you, but now there's nothing left; what can I possibly consume?"
