Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2858 - 2857: Showdown with Golden Buddha Kuerzan!

Standing shoulder to shoulder, Lin Dong and Tian Sha fixed their gazes upon the trio of formidable adversaries ahead: the Golden Buddha Kuerzan, the Gale Queen, and the Dragon Knight Vincent.

Each of these three possessed power that commanded awe, placing them within the top tier beneath the Secondary Ancestors. Furthermore, it was suspected they held undisclosed trump cards.

At this juncture, Tian Sha produced the Spirit Whip he carried, gave it a gentle stroke, and then addressed Lin Dong, "Lin Dong, your intense confrontation with the Water Origin, while I did not personally witness it, I can only imagine its sheer difficulty. Given your present condition, confronting three powerful opponents simultaneously might not be the wisest course of action."

Tian Sha’s voice resonated, deep and resolute, carrying an unequivocal tone, "You shall engage the Golden Buddha Kuerzan; the remaining two are my responsibility."

Lin Dong, upon hearing this, couldn't help but harbor a flicker of surprise within his heart.

He was acutely aware that his connection with Tian Sha was primarily one of mutual benefit, yet he had not anticipated such a display of collaborative spirit during this crucial juncture.

This was, undoubtedly, the most significant backing extended to him.

Lin Dong offered a slight nod, a determined glint igniting in his eyes: "Very well, we shall proceed as you suggest."

With those words uttered, his form blurred, akin to a bolt of black lightning, hurtling directly towards the Golden Buddha Kuerzan.

The Golden Buddha Kuerzan, adorned in a golden kasaya, emanated a subtle aura of Buddha’s light, presenting an image of compassion yet concealing an underlying sharpness.

As Lin Dong advanced, his expression became noticeably more serious. As a master skilled in Buddha Secret Techniques, he understood the inherent perils of a one-on-one engagement with Lin Dong.

Lin Dong’s swordsmanship, particularly the devastatingly potent move of 'Sword Two,' had been the very technique that felled 'Thunder.' That particular strike, if directed at him, he felt certain he could not endure.

"Hmph, Lin Dong, this battle today may well serve as a pivotal trial on my cultivation journey," the Golden Buddha Kuerzan mused inwardly. He brought his palms together, closed his eyes, and began to meditate, as if seeking divine strength from the Buddha.

"Although I am reluctant to court disaster, often, golden opportunities are accompanied by grave risks. Should I manage to seize this moment to vanquish Lin Dong and secure the Water Origin, my power will not only surge dramatically but I may also ascend beyond the mortal realm to attain the ultimate Buddhist Dao," he contemplated.

However, at the mere thought of Lin Dong’s terrifying sword technique, a subtle tremor of apprehension coursed through the Golden Buddha Kuerzan's heart.

"I must gamble once, betting on the assumption that Lin Dong, following his arduous battle with the Water Origin, is no longer capable of unleashing 'Sword Two.' As long as even a single weakness presents itself, it will become my perfect opportunity to counterattack."

Having reached a firm resolution, the Golden Buddha Kuerzan abruptly opened his eyes, two beams of golden light piercing forth. His body surged upwards, resembling a wrathful Golden Buddha.

He slowly extended his right hand, palm facing upwards, concentrating a formidable Buddha Power within it. This power coalesced into a brilliant Buddha’s light, which then shot towards Lin Dong like a meteor streaking across the nocturnal sky.

Lin Dong’s reaction, however, was astonishingly swift. His form flickered like a phantom, effortlessly sidestepping the onslaught of Buddha’s light.

Witnessing this evasion, the Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s eyes flickered with surprise, but he swiftly regained his composure, proclaiming loudly:

"Benefactor Lin Dong, for the longest time, I believed myself to be peerless among those below the Secondary Ancestors in terms of defensive prowess and physical fortitude. Yet, after witnessing your Dragon Blood Holy Body, my perspective has altered. I've come to realize that your physical strength is in no way inferior to my own."

Lin Dong’s lips curved into a subtle smile upon hearing this, his eyes radiating confidence and a touch of defiance:

"Golden Buddha Kuerzan, I hold no interest in vying for the title of 'foremost in horizontal training' beneath the Secondary Ancestors. This encounter is to decide life and death; it is no mere contest."

The Golden Buddha Kuerzan's brow furrowed slightly at Lin Dong’s declaration, but he soon composed himself:

"A life-and-death decision it shall be, yet the title of the strongest in physical defense must also be settled. In that case, I shall unleash my full might."

Having spoken, the Golden Buddha Kuerzan once again invoked the Buddha Power coursing through him, a golden radiance erupting from his form, instantly enveloping him. As the light intensified and solidified, an unyielding golden Buddha materialized before Lin Dong, projecting a profound golden luminescence, as if even the very essence of Heaven and Earth Power could not budge it.

Lin Dong’s eyes registered a hint of surprise at this spectacle, but he quickly regained his equilibrium.

He recalled his previous encounter with the Golden Buddha Kuerzan, where the latter had employed the immovable golden Buddha as a defensive maneuver. Yet, observing it now, he discerned a difference; the unyielding golden Buddha appeared more solidified, more tangible, as if imbued with some arcane energy previously absent.

"If you still rely on the same methods as last time, then you’re not my match." Lin Dong said lightly, his tone brimming with confidence.

Golden Buddha Kuerzan heard this and smiled faintly, saying: "Of course not, within the immobile golden Buddha, I’ve also integrated the Earth Dao. Now, not only do I possess the defense of the golden Buddha, but I also have the element power of the Earth Dao, raising my defensive strength to a higher level."

As he spoke, the golden light around Golden Buddha Kuerzan intensified, and the immobile golden Buddha’s defense rose to an entirely new realm.

With the integration of the Earth Dao within him, the entire space seemed to tremble, an overwhelming and steady breath permeated, solidifying the surrounding air into substance, even slowing down the light.

Seeing this, a peculiar light flashed in Lin Dong’s eyes.

Then, taking a deep breath, the Dragon Blood in his body roared, his Dragon Blood Holy Body was once again pushed to the limit, the glow of the Reverse Scale blended with the golden light of the Buddha, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were midday.

"Since you are so persistent, then come!" Lin Dong roared lowly, his form pouncing like an unrestrained wild dragon straight toward Golden Buddha Kuerzan.

The distance between them closed in the blink of an eye, the fist wind howled, and at that moment, the air seemed to be torn apart.

Golden Buddha Kuerzan put his hands together, chanting scriptures, the defense of the immobile golden Buddha became more solid, as if even Heaven and Earth couldn’t shake it a bit.

Lin Dong’s fist struck upon it, only to hear a metallic clashing sound, causing the surrounding space to ripple, dust flying, but the Buddha’s figure remained standing, not budging an inch.

"Hmph, merely so!" Golden Buddha Kuerzan sneered, his words carrying a trace of arrogance.

However, the corner of Lin Dong’s mouth curved into a mysterious smile, his gaze piercing through the Buddha’s defense to directly face within. "Do you think you can block me with just this?"

Before the words even finished, the power of Dragon Blood within Lin Dong surged once again, this time not just a mere physical strike but condensing the Dragon Blood Power into an intangible Dragon Breath, wrapping around his fist, launching another assault on the Buddha.

Feeling this different power, Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s expression changed slightly, hastily mobilizing the Earth Dao to bolster his defense.

But the Dragon Breath was too overwhelming, burning the defense of the immobile golden Buddha like a raging fire, the golden light on the Buddha’s surface began to dim, cracks appearing.

"Impossible!" Golden Buddha Kuerzan exclaimed, never imagining that his immobile golden Buddha could be so easily shaken.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong seized this opportunity, accelerating once more like a bolt of lightning, penetrating the Buddha’s defense, landing a punch squarely on his chest.

"Bang!" A loud crash sounded, Golden Buddha Kuerzan’s body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, dust flying, the golden light dissipating.

Lin Dong stood at the original location, a steely look in his eyes, the glow of the Dragon Blood Holy Body gradually receding.

"The outcome is decided; in terms of physical strength alone, you’re still not my equal!" Lin Dong said lightly.

"No, it’s not over yet."

Golden Buddha Kuerzan said this, a light of desperation and determination shining in his eyes.
