Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2874 - 2873: Blood Sacrifice Three Corpses Technique!

Amidst the battlefield, where a crimson mist hung thick, Lin Dong stood out prominently.

His sword’s tip quivered slightly, as though bearing the immense weight of mountains and rivers, and the constant ebb and flow of celestial winds and clouds.

With a swing of his sword at an astonishing angle, the blade’s light surged like a dragon, forcefully rending a breach in Tian Sha’s arrogant ‘Shura Blood Domain,’ which then exploded with a deafening boom.

Tian Sha’s countenance instantly turned exceedingly grim, a flicker of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

“I truly never fathomed that your ‘Sword Two,’ this legendary technique, would be employed to shatter my Shura Blood Domain. Are you so confident that the White-clothed Blood Monk will stand firmly by your side?”

“Should he harbor any second thoughts and refuse to offer aid, you might have already met your end, utterly devoid of life.”

A discernible undertone of cold mockery laced Tian Sha’s words, attempting to apply psychological pressure upon Lin Dong.

However, Lin Dong merely inclined his head slightly, his gaze unwavering from the White-clothed Blood Monk. His face appeared remarkably pale from the earlier exertion of ‘Sword Two,’ yet his eyes remained as resolute as iron.

“Senior, the subsequent matters, I entrust them to you. I implore you to buy me some time.”

The White-clothed Blood Monk, upon hearing this, gave a gentle nod. “Rest assured, this humble monk shall never renege on his vow. Having pledged to protect you and stall for time, unless they manage to step over my very corpse, I shall never retreat.”

Subsequently, his gaze shifted towards Tian Sha and Blood Fool, his tone measured and profound: “Regarding the ‘Three Corpses,’ perhaps it is imperative that you are made aware.”

Though his eyes were fixed on Tian Sha and Blood Fool, it was evident that his subsequent pronouncements were intended for Lin Dong's ears.

After a brief pause, he resumed: “The Blood Clan’s Young Master cultivates an exceedingly forbidden secret art within the Blood Clan—the ‘Blood Sacrifice Three Corpses Technique.’”

“The sheer brutality of this technique is unparalleled, necessitating the selection of three potent and resilient souls from living creatures as sacrifices. Be they formidable human experts, ferocious demon beasts, or even the chosen elites from within their own Blood Clan, all can serve as targets.”

“Once these beings are slain, their blood, flesh, and very souls are meticulously refined and assimilated into the spellcaster’s vital blood essence, ultimately manifesting as three formidable corpses under the spellcaster’s command.”

“These three corpses not only inherit the memories and formidable strengths of their original beings; more critically, they are entirely subservient to the Blood Clan Young Master’s will, functioning akin to extensions of his own body.”

“What is even more terrifying is that, unless a unique secret method of the Blood Clan is invoked or an individual attains the Sub Ancestor Level, virtually no one can discern the anomalies lurking behind these corpses. They can perfectly impersonate anyone, lying in wait within the shadows, anticipating the opportune moment for a fatal strike.”

Having uttered these words, the White-clothed Blood Monk fixed his intense gaze upon Tian Sha and declared with deliberate slowness:

“This very Tian Sha is one of the Blood Clan Young Master’s Three Corpses!”

“The genuine Tian Sha actually perished a considerable time ago. He was annihilated by the Blood Clan Young Master and subsequently refined into one of the Three Corpses. The current individual should not be addressed as Tian Sha, but rather as the reanimated corpse of Tian Sha…”

Upon absorbing this revelation, Lin Dong finally grasped the true identity of ‘Tian Sha’ in its entirety.

It transpired that he had been targeted by that nefarious Blood Clan Young Master from an early juncture.

The ‘Tian Sha’ of this moment directed his gaze towards the White-clothed Blood Monk and Lin Dong.

Finally, his attention lingered momentarily upon the White-clothed Blood Monk, before he vocalized: “White-clothed Blood Monk, Lin Dong possesses the Water Origin.”

“Concerning an item such as the Water Origin, do you not harbor any interest?”

“Have you not also found yourself perpetually stuck at the bottleneck just shy of the Sub Ancestor Level for many years? Should you manage to acquire the Water Origin, would that not grant you at least a ninety percent probability of utilizing it to break through into the true echelons of the Sub Ancestors, correct?”

“Would you truly wish to let such a golden opportunity slip through your fingers?”

The ‘Tian Sha’ of this moment began to actively tempt the White-clothed Blood Monk.

The White-clothed Blood Monk, upon hearing his enticements, could not refrain from letting out a cold sneer. “Do you truly underestimate this humble monk?”

“I, the White-clothed Blood Monk, tread the path of Buddhist cultivation. Am I the sort of individual who can be easily swayed by mere allure and deceit?”

“The Water Origin is indeed of significant importance to me. However, since it has been attained by Lin Dong, this aligns with what we in the Buddhist tradition refer to as destiny. That is his predestined path. How could I possibly usurp his destiny?”

“Moreover, this humble monk has already given his word to protect him. How could I possibly go back on such a solemn commitment?”

"We of the Buddhist Clan always uphold our word."

"A pity. White-clothed Blood Monk, you are no longer part of the Buddhist Clan. The orthodox Buddhist Clan of Dragon Country does not acknowledge you..." Tian Sha sneered coldly.

"Not so! Not so!" The White-clothed Blood Monk did not fall into Tian Sha’s verbal trap.

"The orthodox Buddhist Path of Dragon Country not recognizing me is due to their own attachments, what does it matter to me? My heart is with Buddha, Buddha is within my heart. I need no external validation. The path I tread is where my heart leads, where Buddha guides. Therefore, I am Buddha, and Buddha is me."

The Blood Monk's words emanated an aura of profound transcendence, as if a mysterious power within him began to stir.

Just as Tian Sha was preparing to unleash a killing blow upon the unsuspecting Lin Dong amidst this brief exchange, the Blood Monk's gaze suddenly sharpened. His form blurred into a shadow, instantly positioning himself between Tian Sha and Lin Dong.

With a palm covered in ancient runes, he gently swept out, effortlessly neutralizing Tian Sha’s imminent strike.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong, acutely aware of the critical moment, spared no time and immediately utilized the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, drawing upon the residual Inner Qi within him.

The very ground shook, and an ethereal Earth Dragon, sculpted from soil and stone, materialized. Lin Dong’s figure then merged into it, as if dissolving into the loving embrace of Mother Earth, vanishing utterly.

Only faint fracture lines remained, a testament to his recent presence.

Upon witnessing this, Tian Sha’s countenance darkened like a stormy sea, his eyes blazing with fury and resentment.

"White-clothed Blood Monk, Lin Dong has already made his escape by using the terrain, and you remain here alone to face us? Can't you see he used you as a shield to flee while you were merely delaying for his protection?"

Each word was hurled like a sharpened blade, an attempt to shatter the convictions held within the Blood Monk's soul.

Yet, the Blood Monk offered a serene smile, his compassionate eyes remaining steadfast. He slowly brought his palms together, his voice calm yet resolute:

"All existence in this world operates on cause and effect. My encounter with Lin Dong was destiny; aiding him is also my sincere desire. As for the confrontation between us, since you are so eager, then let it commence. Let this humble monk witness if your so-called 'Tian Sha' possesses the might to extinguish the Buddha's light within my heart."

As these words left his lips, the aura surrounding the Blood Monk intensified once more. An otherworldly power surged within him, poised to face the impending tempest.

Tian Sha let out a cold snort, his form flickering as the very air around him seemed to take on solidity.

"So be it, bald monk. Since you dare to thwart my grand designs, you shall forfeit your life today!"
