Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2918 - 2917: A Baffled Dracula

Within the deepest parts of the Azure Water Abyss, this enigmatic zone hidden by thick, dark fog appears to be the most shadowed place on the planet, where even celestial light cannot pierce the dense black mist, leaving only an unnerving stillness and profound oppression.

It is in this desolate domain that Lin Dong is currently concentrating the formidable power of ’Sword Two’.

Dracula, observing from the periphery, genuinely believed Lin Dong had lost his mind, resorting to Sword Two merely to vanquish this Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile.

"Could he truly be unafraid that I might seize the opportunity? Does he place such immense trust in me? Or is there another stratagem he employs?"

"Perhaps he surmises that my own needs tie me to him, that I require his assistance to shatter the array formation’s restriction on the Ancient General’s Tomb? And therefore, I would refrain from endangering him?" Dracula mused.

Concurrently, on the opposing side to Lin Dong, the aura emanating from the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile underwent a significant transformation.

As the undisputed sovereign of the Azure Water Abyss, its colossal form resembles a mountain, entirely encased in scales that radiate an eerie luminescence, each segment seemingly imbued with immeasurable strength and arcane secrets.

Its eyes were akin to two frigid stars adrift in the abyss, flickering with malevolence and sharp cunning. A macabre trophy, the skull of a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist it had slain years prior before its strategic retreat, dangled from the corner of its maw.

Lin Dong stood resolute before it, facing this monstrous entity. His solitary figure appeared both poignant and determined amidst the faint, oppressive light.

He channeled the essence of Sword Two, his form aglow with a subtle azure luminescence in the surrounding gloom, like a distant spark of hope offering a stark contrast to the pervasive darkness.

The potency of Sword Two intensified steadily, causing the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile increasing disquiet.

It subsequently unleashed an even more dread-inducing presence than before.

"You mortals, daring to provoke me! Do you observe the collection of skulls adorning my teeth? Every single one originates from warriors of your kind. The least formidable among these remnants belonged to Earth Realm martial artists."

"Numerous Heavenly Realm martial artists are also represented. Your own skull shall soon be added to their ranks... I shall position it in the most prominent gap between my teeth."

The Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile articulated these chilling words, and immediately thereafter, its terrifying momentum amplified manifold, bearing down upon Lin Dong.

As Lin Dong felt the crushing pressure exerted by the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile, he inhaled deeply, his gaze ablaze, and his entire bearing surged with dramatic intensity.

He had already employed Sword One previously, a preliminary maneuver to gauge the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile’s defensive capabilities.

"With merely four layers of Sword Two’s power, I could have breached its defenses moments ago. However, to ensure absolute success, it is prudent to deploy five layers of its might!"

Thus, his decision was finalized, and he ceased the further amplification of ’Sword Two’.

"Sword Two, the Dragon Ascends!"

"*Swoosh~~~*"

Lin Dong executed Sword Two, unleashing its full five-layer power.

A blade of light, possessing the brilliance to ignite daylight, traced an elegant trajectory from his hand, the sword’s tip aimed directly at the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile.

"Hah!" With a furious roar, all his strength seemed to be unleashed at this precise instant, and Sword Two in his grasp, much like a wild stallion breaking free, struck ferociously towards the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile with an indomitable force.

This singular strike encapsulated Lin Dong’s profound grasp of the Kendo, alongside an ultimate exploration of his personal capabilities. Where the sword’s light traversed, the very fabric of space appeared to rend asunder.

The Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile perceived the overwhelming might of this assault, refraining from underestimating it, and swiftly summoned its most robust defense.

Its scales began to gleam with a golden sheen, encasing its entire form in a dazzling radiance, rendering it akin to being clad in a suit of burnished golden armor.

"*Boom~~~*"

Simultaneously, Lin Dong’s devastating slash impacted its defensive scales.

Underneath the force of this strike, the seemingly impervious scales emitted a distinct cracking sound.

Its cold, star-like eyes displayed an unprecedented look of disbelief. It sensed that the power contained within this single attack was immeasurably superior to Lin Dong’s earlier deployment of ’Sword One’.

It was not merely a physical impact but also a profound mental shock, as if an esoteric force had penetrated its defenses, striking directly at the core of its being – its soul.

"Can this truly be... a strike that a mere Third-Layer Heavenly Boundary Martial Artist can unleash?"

The Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile voiced its astonishment internally, overwhelmed by shock and utter bewilderment. It had never before witnessed such a potent sword technique, nor could it have conceived that a human practitioner at the Third Layer Heaven realm could manifest such astonishing power.

In this critical moment, it experienced the chilling sensation of mortal peril for the very first time, accompanied by an overwhelming fear and a deep-seated unease.

Such a feeling had eluded it for countless years.

"No~~~~" As this realization dawned, it could only watch in utter helplessness as its own protective scales were cleaved in twain.

Furthermore, its life force was steadily weakening. The creature desired to muster its demon energy for a retaliation, but it was clearly incapable of doing so.

To say nothing of gathering demon energy, its very consciousness began to fade.

With deliberate steps, Lin Dong approached the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile.

Upon getting closer, he uttered to himself, "I truly underestimated you. My initial thought was that a four-layer power would suffice to defeat you. Yet, to be absolutely certain, I employed five layers of Sword Two."

"To my surprise, even with five-layer strength, you weren't immediately slain. I still have to deliver the final blow..."

Lin Dong shook his head, acknowledging that among demon beasts, the Demon Emperors ranked below the Secondary Ancestor tier possessed remarkably resilient hides and formidable defenses.

It was astonishing that a single slash did not result in its demise, necessitating a finishing strike!

Were this power directed at a human cultivator, whose defenses could possibly endure such an assault? Perhaps only myself, or someone employing secret defensive techniques like the White-clothed Blood Monk.

It was unexpected that this casually encountered Four-star Peak Demon Emperor could withstand such an attack.

As these words reached its ears in its final moments, the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile expelled a mouthful of black-red vital fluid.

It felt an overwhelming urge to curse.

The creature believed its opponent had expended all his might in that sole strike, bringing it to the precipice of death, unaware that the attacker had only utilized five-layer potency.

Discovering this truth as it was about to perish, it made it even more difficult for the beast to find peace in death.

It yearned to curse Lin Dong, but the opportunity was denied.

Lin Dong acted without delay.

"Sword One!" In a swift move, Lin Dong unleashed 'Sword One', striking the exposed heart after its defenses were breached.

"Whoosh~~~" This time, Sword One did not falter; instead, it plunged directly through the creature's heart.

"Boom~~~"

The immense carcass of the Netherworld Devouring Sky Crocodile crashed heavily to the ground, its life extinguished instantly.

Even in death, its eyes remained wide with disbelief, unable to rest in peace.

Observing this dramatic turn of events, Dracula, struck with astonishment, couldn't help but question Lin Dong, "Brother Lin, didn't you state that you could only utilize Sword Two once?"

"Indeed, I only employed Sword Two on that singular occasion," Lin Dong replied, spreading his arms slightly.

"But you just used Sword One again, didn't you?" Dracula pressed further.

"Precisely. However, I am now unable to use Sword Two again. Therefore, Brother Dracula, do you perhaps intend to profit from the outcome of others' struggles?" Lin Dong inquired casually, his gaze fixed on him.

Dracula's expression shifted subtly, and he quickly asserted, "What are you implying, Brother Lin? Such thoughts have never crossed my mind."

He observed Lin Dong, noting his apparent lack of fatigue, which suggested he still possessed hidden capabilities.

Eager to clarify his intentions, he strove to prevent any potential misunderstanding from Lin Dong.

Meanwhile, a sense of shock coursed through him as he contemplated, "It appears the prior intelligence regarding Lin Dong is now obsolete. His current prowess has evidently advanced significantly.

"Perhaps he is no longer bound by the constraint of using Sword Two only once. Such formidable ability is both terrifying and perilous. Even certain lesser Secondary Ancestors would hesitate to claim definitive victory over him."
