Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2917 - 2916

Lin Dong stood alone, his battle intent surging as he faced the colossal Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile. He refrained from immediately deploying his most potent trump card—the Law of Heaven and Earth.

This divine skill offered a temporary manifestation of the "Dharma Body Three Phases," drastically amplifying his power. It also served as one of Lin Dong’s significant secret weapons, an ability unknown to Dracula. Lin Dong understood that revealing the Law of Heaven and Earth's prowess at this juncture would invite unnecessary complications and potentially relinquish his strategic advantage in future confrontations. Therefore, he resolved to conserve this power, reserving it as a decisive finishing move for a critical moment.

Similarly, Lin Dong opted not to unleash the "Sword Two" technique he had meticulously honed. Each strike of this formidable Sword Technique, endowed with world-shattering might, was the product of Lin Dong's countless near-death experiences and profound comprehension. However, Lin Dong hesitated to go all out from the outset; a single, overwhelming Sword strike might prematurely annihilate the precious Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile, squandering the myriad treasures it likely possessed. After all, as a being at the peak of the Four-star Demon Emperor stage, the flesh, blood, bones, and even scales of the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile were invaluable materials for the alchemy of magical treasures and for enhancing one's Cultivation.

With these considerations, Lin Dong resolved to first assess the Demon Beast’s true strength and defensive capabilities. He drew a deep breath, channeling his Inner Qi throughout his body. His hands swiftly moved through intricate Seal Gestures as he initiated another proud Martial Art—the "Earth Dragon Treasure Technique." Within the Azure Water Abyss, despite the prevalent Water Element that could somewhat impede Earth Element Martial Arts, Lin Dong’s Earth Dragon Treasure Technique remained largely unaffected. His form, akin to an agile Earth Dragon, instantly merged with the damp earth, drawing upon its strength to traverse underground at incredible speeds, silently advancing towards the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile.

Upon closing the distance, Lin Dong’s eyes narrowed. He concentrated the Spiritual Power within his body at the sword tip and unleashed "Sword One." While this Sword strike lacked the world-ending force of "Sword Two," it was by no means a trivial assault that ordinary beings could endure. The Sword Light, like a soaring Dragon, carved through the sky with a piercing howl, aiming directly for the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile’s vulnerable core.

The Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile, which had appeared dormant, snapped its eyes open the very instant it detected the faint, fierce Sword Qi. Its eyes were astonishing, seeming to hold endless Thunder and flickering with a chilling radiance that sent shivers down one's spine. The moment its eyes opened, an overwhelming Pressure, akin to a sudden flood, erupted and instantly enveloped Lin Dong. This Pressure, imbued with supreme Thunder might, seemed intent on crushing Lin Dong’s will, his physical body, and even his Soul.

Lin Dong felt an immense weight bearing down upon him, as if a thousand-jun boulder had been placed on his shoulders. Even breathing became a laborious effort, each inhale a desperate struggle against an unseen, colossal force. His face paled considerably under the oppressive weight, yet his eyes still blazed with an unyielding light. The might of a peak Four-star Demon Emperor was indeed formidable; even a cultivator of his caliber had to face this ancient Demon Beast's Pressure head-on.

A deafening boom resounded as the Sword Light met the seemingly intangible yet unbreakable defense encasing the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile. The impact erupted in a blinding Golden Light. Shockingly, however, this blow, potent enough to cleave a mountain peak, merely caused the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile’s body to shimmer with Golden Light. Subsequently, a repelling force surged outward like tempestuous waves crashing upon a shore, violently flinging Lin Dong’s entire body backward. His form arced through the air, crashing heavily several zhang away, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Concurrently, the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile’s deep, majestic voice echoed through the cavern: "From whence does this human junior hail, that he dares lay hands upon this venerable one?" A mix of confusion and anger laced its voice; it clearly did not recognize Lin Dong and had not anticipated any human would dare intrude upon its domain. The reason for its presence here was not, unlike other Demon Emperors, to evade Lin Dong’s "Tattoo." Instead, it had long designated this locale as its secluded cultivation site, utilizing the unique elemental properties here to further its Cultivation—a retreat that had spanned a full three years.

Witnessing Lin Dong's setback, Dracula, who had been observing with a composed demeanor, couldn't suppress a smirk. "Brother Lin, as I mentioned, the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile's might is not to be trifled with. Without my assistance, you won't be able to defeat it. Why don't we join forces? Once it's vanquished, we can divide its treasures equally. What do you say?"

A tone of "I told you so" resonated in Dracula's offer.

It was evident he possessed a degree of insight into the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile's formidable capabilities.

Furthermore, his keen interest in the spoils it guarded clearly signaled his eagerness to engage in the fray.

"You think you two can defeat me?" As Dracula's proposal hung in the air, the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile's fury ignited like a volatile volcano.

The sheer audacity of two human martial artists declaring their intent to kill it and claim its possessions as their spoils enracked its rage.

Historically, it was always the predator, never the prey. Since when did two human martial artists, who were beneath the Secondary Ancestor realm, dare to perceive it as mere quarry?

The insolence was utterly beyond belief!

"Boom～～～"

In its incandescent rage, the surrounding water elements seemed to surge in obedience, coalescing into a colossal whirlpool. The atmosphere throughout the shadowy expanse grew heavy and suffocating.

Ye Linglong, possessing the least cultivation among them, found herself directly engulfed by the tempestuous aquatic energy. She felt overwhelming waves of power assault her physique, inducing excruciating torment, as if she were on the verge of being ripped asunder by the rampaging forces.

"A Four-Star Demon Emperor is truly this terrifying..." Ye Linglong's heart was filled with profound shock. She had never conceived that a mere display of the Demon Emperor's wrath could manifest such a devastating spectacle.

Yet, amidst this life-or-death crisis, a warm and potent force suddenly enveloped her.

It was Lin Dong, who, at the most critical juncture, had unleashed his defensive technique – the 'Wuji Defense Temple.'

A resplendent, ethereal Divine Palace materialized from the void, swiftly encircling her and manifesting an impenetrable shield that nullified all external energy fluctuations, granting her a temporary reprieve from the imminent peril.

Upon witnessing this, Ye Linglong directed a thankful gaze towards Lin Dong.

Concurrently, a sense of personal shame washed over her.

It was undeniable that, at this crucial moment, she had become a burden to Lin Dong.

Meanwhile, Dracula's expression grew even more amused. He spoke once more, "Brother Lin, what are you still deliberating about?"

"Your strength is undeniable, yes, comparable to the foremost expert below the Secondary Ancestor realm. However, this demonic beast is by no means a pushover. It, too, ranks among the elite of the Demon Clan's warriors beneath the Secondary Ancestor."

"If your intention is to defeat it single-handedly and seize all its treasures, that is clearly an impossible feat..."

But before his words could conclude, he observed Lin Dong commencing the formation of 'Sword Two.'

"Are you out of your mind? You intend to use 'Sword Two' to defeat it?"

Lin Dong's proficiency with 'Sword Two' was no longer a secret; the information had already proliferated.

Every individual who had studied his background was aware that Lin Dong's ultimate trump card had historically been 'Sword Two.'

Yet, it was equally understood that this potent 'Sword Two' could only be manifested once, after which he would be utterly depleted.

He genuinely did not anticipate that Lin Dong would dare to employ 'Sword Two' so directly.

Naturally, the primary reason for his astonishment stemmed from the fact that his intelligence was somewhat outdated.

He remained oblivious to Lin Dong's current true capabilities and the fact that he had long since mastered the ability to utilize 'Sword Two' multiple times.
