Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2562: Chapter 2561: Farewell

”Sister Luo Xue, don’t hesitate. I’m ready, and I want to test the true defensive power of this Dragon Blood Holy Body.” Lin Dong’s voice was steady and powerful, filled with an undeniable determination.

Luo Xue furrowed her brows slightly at his words, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

As a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist of the sixth heaven, she deeply understood the terrifying power she wielded. Even the slightest strike could be fatal to most martial artists.

”Lin Dong, are you sure? My power, no matter how well-controlled, might still...” Luo Xue’s words carried a touch of hesitation; she was reluctant to harm Lin Dong due to her oversight.

Lin Dong smiled slightly, a smile full of confidence and trust: ”Don’t worry, Sister Luo Xue. I trust in my Dragon Blood Holy Body, and I trust that you can precisely control your power. Come on, let me feel the strike of you, a Heavenly Realm powerhouse of the sixth heaven.”

Seeing this, Luo Xue no longer spoke, taking a deep breath as spiritual power surged around her, like the brightest star in the night sky.

She slowly raised her right fist, spiritual power concentrating on its tip, but only released one layer of power.

This punch, light as a feather, yet contained the exquisite control of a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.

”Bang!” The fist wind lightly touched Lin Dong’s chest, yet it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without the slightest ripple.

Lin Dong’s body did not even tremble, and the same calm smile remained on his face.

The Dragon Blood Holy Body, awakened after Reverse Scale, seemed born to resist such attacks, without the slightest trace of damage.

”It seems that one layer of strength is still not enough.” Lin Dong chuckled lightly, eyes flashing with excitement, ”Sister Luo Xue, come again, try with two layers of power.”

Luo Xue was inwardly astonished by Lin Dong’s self-confidence and courage, but she also understood that this was Lin Dong’s trust in her.

Thus, she once again gathered spiritual power, this time two layers of power converged on her fist, striking with immense force. Yet the results remained unchanged, Lin Dong’s Dragon Blood Holy Body was still as strong as ever, as if surrounded by an invisible shield, blocking all attacks.

”Three layers, four layers...” Luo Xue increased her power layer by layer, each attack giving her a deeper insight into Lin Dong’s Dragon Blood Holy Body.

Until the seventh layer of power was unleashed, a strike strong enough to shake mountains, on Lin Dong’s body, it only stirred up a faint ripple, which quickly dissipated without a trace.

”This... how is this possible!” Luo Xue, shocked, felt more admiration and curiosity toward Lin Dong.

She looked at Lin Dong incredulously, as if witnessing the birth of a miracle.

It should be known that Lin Dong was only a First Heaven Martial Artist, yet he could withstand attacks from her, a sixth heaven powerhouse, with seven levels of strength, this defensive power was simply beyond imagination.

”Lin Dong, your Dragon Blood Holy Body... it’s astounding!” Luo Xue’s voice carried a tremor, ”You’re truly displaying the demeanor of a Mythical Figure of Ten Thousand Years!”

Lin Dong was very satisfied with the defensive power of the Dragon Blood Holy Body after the awakening of the Reverse Scale, yet he still wanted to see its limits.

He then said again, ”Sister Luo Xue, increase the power again, use eight layers of strength to hit me.”

”What, eight layers of strength, are you sure?” Luo Xue was somewhat reluctant to try; eight layers of strength were too strong.

Could a First Heaven Martial Artist really defend against such power?

”Come!” Lin Dong said firmly.

Looking at Lin Dong’s confident look, Luo Xue finally nodded.

”Alright, then I’ll use eight layers of power to hit you again!”

”Boom!”

This time, Luo Xue used eight layers of strength, striking Lin Dong’s Dragon Blood Holy Body.

Those few Reverse Scales emitted a purple light, and although Lin Dong was reversed into flight, he ultimately withstood the strike.

Luo Xue was incredibly shocked!

That was eight layers of power.

”Shall we continue?” Luo Xue subconsciously asked.

”Cough cough~~” Lin Dong coughed out a few mouthfuls of fresh blood, saying: ”That’s the limit! Trying again would really be a death wish.”

Luo Xue hurriedly tossed a healing Dan medicine to him, which Lin Dong took and consumed.

Soon, the injuries recovered.

After resting for a while, Lin Dong and Luo Xue sat side by side on a huge boulder, surrounded by a silent and deep darkness, with only their heartbeats echoing in the tranquility.

After a series of intense tests, the defensive power of Lin Dong’s evolved Dragon Blood Holy Body was astonishing. At this moment, the atmosphere between them had become exceptionally warm and honest.

”Lin Dong, there’s something I’ve always wanted to tell you.” Luo Xue’s voice was gentle and earnest, breaking the night’s silence, ”Actually, I come from a place called ’Lingxu Danzong’, a sect renowned worldwide for its Alchemy skills.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong’s eyes flickered with surprise, followed by deep interest.

”Lingxu Danzong? I’ve long heard of it; it’s the Holy Land countless alchemists yearn for.” He turned to look at Luo Xue, his eyes full of respect.

”Indeed, Lingxu Danzong not only holds countless precious alchemist formulas and spiritual medicines but also carries the alchemy experiences and inheritances left by countless senior capable persons.” Luo Xue continued, ”As a member of the sect, I am willing to be your guide, to help you join Lingxu Danzong, and together, explore the mysteries of the Path of Alchemy.”

Lin Dong was silent for a moment, and complex emotions surged within his heart.

He knew well the significance of joining Lingxu Danzong; it would be a great aid in his cultivation path, and a crucial foundation for his future refinement of high-level elixir pills, such as the ’Nirvana Pill’ needed to break the Dead Soul Curse for the Sovereign Witch.

However, reality forced him to make a choice.

”Sister Luo Xue, I appreciate your kindness.” Lin Dong slowly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness, ”But I cannot leave the Extraterrestrial Battlefield now. I’m cursed with the Dead Soul Curse and must find another antidote — Dragon’s Saliva. It’s my most urgent task for now.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue’s eyes reflected a hint of understanding and sympathy. She gently nodded, taking out a delicate wooden token from her arms and handed it to Lin Dong.

”I understand your current situation; this is a special token of the Lingxu Danzong. If you drip blood on it, I can sense your position. Whenever you’re willing, I’ll be there to guide you into the sect.”

Accepting the wooden token, Lin Dong felt a warm flow rising within him.

He understood the weight of the token and also the trust and expectations Luo Xue had for him.

”Thank you, Sister Luo Xue. I, Lin Dong, will not disappoint your expectations.” He solemnly decided to keep the token close to him, his eyes firm, ”Once I find the Dragon’s Saliva and break the Dead Soul Curse, I will go to Lingxu Danzong to explore the Path of Alchemy with you.”

”Good, I’ll wait for you.” Luo Xue nodded, then spoke solemnly.

The night slowly faded, with the belly of the fish-white sky heralding a new day.

Lin Dong and Luo Xue exchanged smiles, the bond between them deepening at that moment.

They understood that although they were about to part, the promises and beliefs in their hearts would shine like stars, guiding them forward.

”Take care, Lin Dong.” Luo Xue said softly, then her figure spread and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the horizon.

”You too, Luo Xue. Looking forward to the day we meet again.” Lin Dong muttered as he gazed in the direction Luo Xue had left.
