Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2931 - 2930: Invisible and Formless Skills
Previously on Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain...
The ancient curse-ridden domain officially heard the trumpets of war.
Like fiends rising from the infernal depths, these General Corpse Slaves initiated a brutal onslaught against the intruders—be they stalwart warriors from the Ancient European Country or treasure-seeking bounty hunters drawn by avarice and renown.
Amidst the terrifying horde of General Corpse Slaves, the mere presence of Flying Corpses was enough to incite dread, yet their numbers and variety were far from exhausted.
Presently, a zombie designated White Stiffness, distinguished by its colossal form and a coat of white fur, commanded all attention.
The sheer immensity of the White Stiffness rivaled that of a small behemoth, its every footfall sending faint tremors through the earth.
Its vacant, abyssal eyes seemed poised to swallow all light, while its seemingly lumbering, gigantic hands possessed the might to shatter mountains.
A Seventh Stage Grandmaster Warrior hailing from the Ancient European Country confronted this White Stiffness, his countenance grave. He understood that his adversary was not merely a monster, but a foe of near-invincible capabilities.
Drawing a deep breath, he channeled his entire body’s Inner Qi, manifesting his ultimate defense: a golden, shimmering protective Qi shield, the culmination of his years of cultivation, sufficient to repel most deadly assaults.
Nevertheless, the White Stiffness appeared unfazed by this bulwark. It issued a guttural roar, akin to the cry of an ancient beast, and unleashed a colossal palm strike with unimaginable force, smashing directly into the golden protective Qi shield.
With a resounding **crash**, the seemingly impenetrable defense disintegrated like brittle foam under the White Stiffness’s palm, vanishing in an instant.
As the protective Qi shield shattered, the Seventh Stage Grandmaster Warrior’s own body sustained devastating damage.
The unspent force from the White Stiffness’s gargantuan palm strike continued its trajectory, pulping his form into a bloody mire, flesh and blood splattering through the air, creating a macabre spectacle of crimson mist that saturated the atmosphere with a sickeningly cloying scent.
Yet, the true horror had not yet reached its peak. Within this pandemonium, an even more dreadful classification of General Corpse Slave stalked the battlefield—the Red Zombie.
Their entire bodies were swathed in vibrant red hair, appearing as though perpetually stained with fresh blood, and their crimson eyes burned with an infernal malevolence and insatiable greed.
The Red Zombies’ most formidable weapon manifested as a dense, blood-hued mist they could expel from their gaping maws.
At this juncture, a Red Zombie began its slow advance toward a gathering of bounty hunters. These hunters had, through strenuous cooperation, barely managed to fend off the assaults of lesser zombies.
However, when the Red Zombie’s massive jaws parted, spewing forth a thick, crimson mist, the tide of battle abruptly turned. This mist, seemingly imbued with a malevolent sentience, spread with alarming speed, its touch corrosive to any weapon or armor, causing them to decay from within.
The bounty hunters recoiled in terror, realizing their defenses were rendered utterly useless against this spectral miasma.
Even more chilling was the mist’s apparent psychic influence, which incited them to turn upon each other.
Once-trusted comrades became savage adversaries, their desperate struggles punctuated by the clash of steel, anguished cries, and harrowing screams.
The scene devolved into unparalleled chaos and carnage.
In a distressingly short span, over half the contingent from the Ancient European Country lay slain.
The bounty hunters fared little better, with mere handfuls surviving the onslaught.
The remaining survivors, one and all, sought refuge and aid from Lin Dong and Dracula.
“Lord Lin Dong, Lin Tian, we implore you, lend your strength and vanquish these corpse slaves,” one desperate voice cried out.
“Lord Dracula, I, too, am a warrior from the Ancient European Country; you cannot abandon us to such a fate. Pray, save us and eradicate these abominable corpse slaves,” another pleaded.
Yet, neither Lin Dong nor Dracula made any move to intervene.
Dracula let out a cold, dismissive chuckle. “I cautioned you earlier, urging a swift retreat. Alas, your avarice had clouded your judgment entirely.”
“Did you not consider that even Brother Lin and I required cooperation to reach this perilous locale? Is this a place where mere ants like yourselves can tread?”
Confronted by these stark pronouncements, the survivors finally shed the delusion of impending riches, recognizing the profound extent of their prior greed.
“Indeed, our vision was obscured by the lure of profit. We gravely misjudged the circumstances; a place that necessitates the combined efforts of Dracula and Lin Dong is far beyond the reach of individuals such as ourselves?”
All thoughts of treasure forgotten, their sole remaining desire was to cling to life.
The leader of the bounty hunter contingent hastily addressed them. “Lord Dracula, Lord Lin Dong, Lin Tian, we beseech you, intervene and deliver us from these corpse slaves.”
"We refuse to go any further; we shall no longer seek those treasures."
"We dare not contend with Lord Dracula and Lord Lin Dong, Lin Tian, for those treasures."
"..."
Despite their current pleas for mercy, neither Lin Dong nor Dracula made a move.
They simply observed with cold detachment as the contingent of General Corpse Slaves continued their relentless pursuit.
Naturally, the General Corpse Slaves also registered the presence of Lin Dong and Dracula.
A portion of the General Corpse Slaves even directed their assaults towards them.
For instance, a fearsome Flying Corpse hurtled in the direction where Lin Dong and Ye Linglong were situated.
However, just as it drew within a few hundred meters of Lin Dong, its abdomen suddenly ruptured as if pierced by an invisible blade, bringing about its instantaneous demise.
Without any discernible action from Lin Dong, the Flying Corpse, a creature capable of effortlessly disemboweling even Earth Realm martial artists, was dispatched.
The Flying Corpse clearly had not anticipated that it, which was accustomed to disemboweling others, would suffer such a fate so easily.
Another Red Zombie took notice of Lin Dong and Ye Linglong. It is possible that Lin Dong's potent Blood Qi acted as a lure, compelling it to attempt to consume him.
It advanced silently towards Lin Dong, expelling a thick miasma with the intent of infiltrating Lin Dong's mental faculties.
But at this critical juncture, Lin Dong unleashed an imperceptible wave of mental power from his being.
This psychic surge infiltrated the 'Red Zombie's' body, leading to a terrifying spectacle.
The Red Zombie was observed drawing the previously expelled scarlet mist back into its own core. Furthermore, it turned its aggression upon the surrounding General Corpse Slaves.
Instead of succumbing to the red mist's influence and being compelled to obey Lin Dong's commands, it was effortlessly subdued by Lin Dong and weaponized for the annihilation of its own kind.
Dracula, too, faced assaults from the General Corpse Slaves, yet each encounter was met with a single, decisive punch.
His formidable might was evident, as he displayed no apprehension towards the General Corpse Slaves.
However, while fending off the attackers, he maintained a constant vigil over Lin Dong's actions.
Upon witnessing Lin Dong's methods for neutralizing the General Corpse Slaves, Dracula was once again struck with profound astonishment.
Lin Dong's approach to dispatching these formidable adversaries was far more composed and deliberate.
Moreover, his techniques were utterly undetectable and intangible.
"This is truly frightening. Anyone who dares to oppose him, faced with his myriad of unfathomable methods, would likely find no peace in their slumber..."
Dracula mused silently to himself, firmly resolving that under no circumstances would he permit himself to become an adversary to Lin Dong.
Instead, he recognized the absolute necessity of cultivating a friendly alliance with him.
