Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2866 - 2865: Who Are You Really?

Amidst the desolate silence of the jungle, two figures stood locked in a tense standoff, the air so thick it felt as if it could turn to ice.

Golden Buddha Kuerzan, a warrior once hailed as the foremost in physical defense beneath the Secondary Ancestor realm, appeared pale but retained his resolute spirit.

Determination and fury flickered in his gaze as he fixed it upon his adversary, Tian Sha, his voice deep and resonant with power:

"Tian Sha, do you truly believe you can dispatch me with ease? Are you not concerned that forcing my hand could lead to a mutual destruction?"

Tian Sha's eyes remained unfathomable, undisturbed by any external force, as if impenetrable to the world's turmoil.

"Is achieving a mutual end with me something you are even worthy of aspiring to?"

A sneer twisted his lips, his advance unwavering and steady towards Golden Buddha Kuerzan.

Each step he took seemed to herald the inevitable end of Kuerzan's existence.

Facing Tian Sha's contempt, Kuerzan glared with the ferocity of an enraged King Kong.

He acknowledged that his spiritual power had been significantly depleted following his clash with Lin Dong, yet he refused to be led to his demise like a helpless lamb.

"Then, despite the considerable drain on my spiritual power after my fight with Lin Dong, I have not fallen so low as to be dispatched by you like a mere stray dog!" Kuerzan's voice boomed across the empty expanse, charged with defiance and the will to battle.

Even before his words fully faded, Golden Buddha Kuerzan initiated his assault.

His internal power surged, and the defensive secret technique of the Immovable Golden Buddha was pushed to its zenith once more, synergizing with the power of the Earth Dao, rendering his physical defense seemingly unbreachable.

However, this time, the relic was not worn openly but concealed with caution beneath his garments, a preemptive measure.

In Kuerzan's estimation, while his physical defense might be somewhat inferior to Lin Dong and Vincent's, it should prove more than adequate against Tian Sha.

His punch, imbued with the might of mountains and rivers, launched forward with relentless force, aimed directly at Tian Sha's chest, confident that Tian Sha would not dare to meet it head-on.

Yet, the unfolding events defied expectation.

Tian Sha, instead of evading, stood his ground like an unyielding bastion, absorbing Kuerzan's devastating blow directly.

The wind from the impact roared, dust billowed, but Tian Sha's posture remained as resolute as Mount Tai, utterly unmoved.

Kuerzan's eyes widened in disbelief: "What manner of defense is this? It's utterly terrifying!"

His heart seized with dread, unable to comprehend the scene before him.

In that fleeting moment of stunned silence, Tian Sha seized the opportune instant.

His form blurred like a phantom, one hand shot out with astonishing speed, his fingertips gleaming with a chilling luminescence as they pierced directly into Kuerzan's chest.

Time itself seemed to suspend, caught in an unseen grip, as an oppressive and eerie atmosphere enveloped the surroundings.

Kuerzan, once a formidable warrior, now resembled a statue carved from ice, a flicker of profound despair and unyielding reluctance crossing his eyes.

It was the helplessness that accompanies the imminent loss of life, coupled with a deep-seated fear and bewilderment towards an unknown entity.

Kuerzan sensed an unprecedented alteration within his own being.

To his horror, he realized his very lifeblood was being siphoned, uncontrollably, towards the adversary before him – Tian Sha.

Tian Sha's eyes shimmered with an unusual luminescence against the night, appearing to possess insight into all the world's hidden truths, and beneath that gaze lay an insatiable craving for fresh blood.

An unknown and chilling sensation coursed through Kuerzan's core as he stammered, "Who... who exactly are you? How do you possess such uncanny abilities?"

His voice resonated through the night, tinged with both regret and despair.

He sought answers within his opponent's eyes, but they were as profound and inscrutable as an abyss, revealing nothing of his true nature.

Tian Sha offered no reply to Kuerzan's query, a cold smile gracing his lips, seemingly toying with Kuerzan's ignorance and desperation.

He spoke with chilling indifference: "A man on the brink of death has no need for such knowledge."

With those words, the hand embedded within Kuerzan's chest tightened its grip, utterly crushing his heart.

Kuerzan's body convulsed violently before slumping lifelessly to the ground.

His eyes remained wide, filled with an unfulfilled ambition and lingering anger, as if attempting to etch the final moments of this world into his memory. However, no matter his struggle, the inescapable reality of life's fading embers was insurmountable.

Tian Sha remained still, observing the gradual extinguishing of Kuerzan's vital flame. His expression bore no hint of pity or compassion, only the cold pride of a conqueror.

Having absorbed Golden Buddha Kuerzan's life essence, his eyes narrowed slightly, a look of profound satisfaction settling upon his features.

With arms outstretched, he welcomed the gentle caress of the breeze, as if even the wind acknowledged the nascent power coursing through him, carrying a subtle vibration with it.

"The blood of the first team under the Secondary Ancestor is truly a potent tonic," Tian Sha whispered, a clear note of satisfaction coloring his tone. "It has been a considerable time since I've had the chance to absorb the blood of one so formidable. This sensation, it resurrects memories of those bygone years."

His gaze suddenly deepened, seeming to pierce through the veil of space and time, fixing upon a distant, unseen realm.

"I find myself wondering, just how exquisite would the blood of that Ten Thousand Year Mythical Figure be?"

Longing and eager anticipation saturated his voice, portraying the Mythical Figure of Ten Thousand Years as his ultimate quarry.

Abruptly, Tian Sha's focus shifted, as though a crucial thought had resurfaced. His eyes narrowed, returning to the now-lifeless form of Kuerzan.

He stooped, meticulously searching the fallen foe, and finally unearthed a faintly luminous relic concealed within Kuerzan's collar.

"This is quite the find," Tian Sha breathed, a flicker of avarice lighting his eyes. He delicately retrieved the relic, examining it with intense scrutiny, as if perceiving profound wisdom and power within its depths.

Subsequently, he also secured Kuerzan's spatial bag, perhaps harboring further artifacts of interest.

Having concluded these actions, Tian Sha straightened, his gaze sweeping towards the horizon where Lin Dong and Vincent were locked in a furious engagement.

A smile once more graced his lips, a complex expression blending the eagerness for imminent prey with the thrill of an approaching, unknown challenge.

"It is time to make my presence known," Tian Sha muttered to himself. His form blurred, dissolving like a phantom into the encroaching darkness, leaving behind the solitary, vanquished corpse of Golden Buddha Kuerzan, resting silently upon the cold earth.

Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield, Lin Dong and Blood Fool continued their intense exchange, with Lin Dong currently maintaining a slight advantage.
