Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2896 - 2895: Strong and Number 1

Beyond this, it wasn't solely the Dragon Country's battle area that was extending a welcome.

A multitude of Heavenly Envoys from different combat zones exchanged significant glances before offering Lin Dong their profound respect.

"We, too, extend a warm welcome to the triumphant return of War God Lin of the Dragon Country! And congratulations on securing the premier position in the Dragon Country's War God Ranking!"

Previously, the majority of national battle zones relied heavily on the four major ones.

However, allegiances had shifted dramatically.

One after another, they voiced their eagerness to forge friendships or align themselves with the Dragon Country's battle zone, or more accurately, with Lin Dong himself.

Witnessing this paradigm shift, the Heavenly Envoys and key figures from the four prominent national battle zones wore expressions of extreme displeasure.

Among them, the 'God of Blade,' a Heavenly Envoy from the Yingjiang Country, cast a cold gaze over the assembled delegates and addressed them sharply:

"You would be wise to reconsider your choices. While the Dragon Country's battle zone has indeed claimed the top spot in this War Department Competition,

this ranking is merely for a year. When it comes to true power within this Extraterrestrial Battlefield, who could possibly contend with our united alliance of the four national battle zones?"

His words carried a distinct undertone of warning.

Had this been in the past, the battle zones from other nations, even if they harbored resentment towards the methods of the Yingjiang Country's battle zone or found the 'God of Blade's' tone abrasive, would not have dared to offer a rebuttal.

But now, his words were met with conspicuous indifference.

"God of Blade, you need to face reality. The Dragon Country's battle zone, with War God Lin's presence, is a vastly different entity now."

"In the past, the Extraterrestrial Battlefield was dominated by your four major battle zones, and though we chafed under it, we remained silent. Now, with the Dragon Country's battle zone, your sole dominion is a thing of the past."

"Your threats and warnings hold no sway over us."

"War God Lin, from this moment forth, our White Elephant Country's battle zone officially recognizes your Dragon Country's battle zone as our leader!"

"As does our Nephrite Nation!"

"And our Kimchi Nation!"

"And our Grassland Country likewise..."

"..."

At this juncture, numerous Heavenly Envoys from various battle zones unequivocally declared their new allegiances.

Observing this, the Heavenly Envoys from the four principal battle zones exhibited even more pronounced signs of displeasure.

The 'God of Blade' from Yingjiang Country then turned his attention to Lin Dong, posing a pointed question: "War God Lin, I must ask, was the participating War God 'Thunder' from our Yingjiang Country slain by your hand?"

"He was a potent member of our Thunder Clan in Yingjiang Country. By ending his life, do you not owe an explanation to the Thunder Clan? To the Martial Arts Circle and the battle zone of Yingjiang Country?"

"Hmm?" Upon hearing these words, Lin Dong's brow furrowed. He cast a glance at this 'God of Blade' and then casually inquired:

"Are you questioning me?"

"War God Lin, I am not questioning you directly. However, you are indebted to the Thunder Clan for an explanation... Failing which, when the Thunder Clan, in their fury, dispatches experts to eliminate you, do not claim I failed to issue a warning..."

Before the envoy could complete his sentence, Lin Dong's icy gaze locked onto him.

An overwhelming and terrifying aura descended, pressing down upon the envoy.

With a casual flick of his hand, Lin Dong unleashed a 'Void Shadow Giant Hand.'

"Boom～～～～"

The 'Void Shadow Giant Hand,' seemingly imbued with the very laws of the universe, much like the legendary Tathagata Palm of ancient Buddhist masters, struck the envoy, sending him hurtling away.

The 'God of Blade,' a respected martial artist of the Heavenly Realm, and moreover, one at the Third Layer Heaven, was directly repelled by Lin Dong's strike. He soared thousands of meters into the sky before crashing heavily back to the earth.

He landed with a sickening thud, suffering multiple bone fractures and teetering on the precipice of death.

Following this, Lin Dong's voice resonated through the stunned silence.

"You dare to question me?"

Wow!!!

Witnessing this astonishing display, every single individual present was rendered speechless by sheer terror.

In that moment, they grasped the profound truth: Lin Dong's strength had seemingly escalated to an extraordinary level, far surpassing what they had previously witnessed.

With a single, effortless palm strike, he had reduced the 'God of Blade' to a state where his life hung precariously in the balance.

The Heavenly Envoys from the other three major battle zones, who had harbored intentions of questioning Lin Dong themselves, immediately abandoned any such thoughts upon seeing this outcome.

They chose to remain in prudent silence.

Without even glancing back at the fallen 'God of Blade,' Lin Dong addressed the assembled crowd:

"All participants in the War God Competition willingly signed a life and death agreement. Death is final. What need is there for further explanations?"

"Whether it be the Thunder Clan or any other clan, should you seek an explanation, you may bring your grievances directly to me."

Lin Dong harbored no apprehension about accumulating enemies.

He already bore the weight of numerous foes and adding a few more to that tally was of no consequence to him.

Upon hearing his resolute declaration, a hush fell over the crowd.

Shortly thereafter, Elder Min Tian, the designated referee for this competition from the Alliance of Heavenly Realm, stepped forward.

"Esteemed attendees, the War God Competition has now concluded. The next order of business is the tabulation of the final rankings!"

The triumphant War God, Lin Dong, representing Dragon Country’s battle zone, has secured a commanding lead in the number of demon beasts hunted. He is officially ranked first!

Dragon Country’s War Department claims the top spot!

This official announcement was met with another surge of enthusiastic cheers, particularly from the Dragon Country’s battle zone contingent.

They had achieved a historic victory, clinching first place in all three categories of the competition.

Not only did they win, but they did so by an unprecedented margin, shattering all previous records since the War Department Competition's inception and establishing themselves as the undisputed best.

The final rankings for the other four battle zones were also revealed.

Yingjiang Country’s battle zone, Xiong Country’s battle zone, Yoga Country’s battle zone, and Ancient Europe’s battle zone have all tied for last place, with zero demon beasts hunted as none of their participants survived.

Upon hearing this news, the representatives from the four lagging battle zones displayed extremely displeased expressions.

A profound sense of embarrassment washed over them.

Having dominated the War Department Competition rankings for many years, they now found themselves relegated to the very bottom.

They felt they had lost all face and could no longer bear to remain.

“Let’s depart!” The Heavenly Envoy from Xiong Country’s battle zone was the first to lead his War Department Soldiers away.

Following their example, the battle departments from Yoga Country, Ancient Europe, and Yingjiang Country also gathered their War Machines and exited the venue.

The Yingjiang Country’s battle department even took the 'God of Blade' with them.

Although not deceased, he had been beaten into a state where he was temporarily unable to move, resembling a mere mortal.

Pravime, the Heavenly Envoy from Yoga Country’s battle zone, cast a lingering, thoughtful glance at Lin Dong before her departure.

She murmured inwardly, “Perhaps Pravina’s choice was the correct one. This man is destined to bring about a transformation in the Martial Arts World!”

Lin Dong’s prowess instilled a sense of fear in her, knowing that even their legendary figure, the Golden Buddha Kuerzan, had met his ‘death’ at his hands.

She pondered how few individuals in Yoga Country could truly contend with Lin Dong.

“Perhaps only the Secondary Ancestor from our clan could match him,” she mused, her thoughts turning to their Pula family’s revered Secondary Ancestor.

She harbored the belief that perhaps only she herself possessed the capability to rival him!

With the departure of the four rival battle zones, Elder Min Tian approached the Dragon Country’s War Department once more.

He clasped his hands together and offered a smile to Lin Dong, stating, “Congratulations! Lin Dong, your Dragon Country’s battle zone has achieved first place.”

Lin Dong studied him intently, even activating his Eye of Insight.

However, he detected no trace of hidden Blood Qi emanating from the Elder.

“It appears I was overthinking matters,” Lin Dong mused, shaking his head. He had previously harbored suspicions that Elder Min Tian might also be associated with the Blood Clan.

His suspicions arose because Tian Sha, the competing War God in the War God Competition, had been recommended to the Dragon Country’s War Department by Min Tian.

This led Lin Dong to reasonably suspect a potential connection between Min Tian and the Blood Clan.

Yet, after a thorough examination, he found no evidence of Blood Qi on the Elder.

It seemed Lin Dong had allowed his imagination to run too wild.
