Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2849: Chapter 2848: All Are Shadow Emperors!

Very soon, a shocking scene unfolded before their eyes—a colossal and ancient tree stood ahead, its trunk so robust that it required several people to embrace it, with lush branches and leaves blocking out the sky and sun.

However, the feeling this tree gave Lin Dong was exceptionally strange, as it emitted an eerie aura not belonging to plants, a sense that transcended ordinary life and undoubtedly carried the presence of a demon beast.

But what was even more astonishing was the water spiritual energy emanating from this tree, so dense that it nearly solidified into substance, forming a unique domain around it.

Tian Sha gazed at this bizarre tree with a trace of certainty flashing in his eyes: ”Brother Lin, judging by its appearance, although it resembles a tree, the water spiritual energy it emits is so rich, and carries the essence of a demon beast, this must be the form of the Water Origin disguised.”

”To conceal itself, the origin power often adopts various forms, and this tree is its disguise. Hurry, you should go and kill it. Defeat it, and we can obtain that precious Water Origin.”

Tian Sha’s tone was very certain and urgent.

He urged Lin Dong to quickly go and kill the ’tree demon’ disguised as ’origin power.’

But Lin Dong didn’t move immediately, instead, he stroked his chin, pondering: ”But when I was searching earlier, why didn’t I discover this tree demon?”

”It seems to have appeared out of thin air? Or perhaps, it only emerged after Brother Tian Sha arrived.”

Upon hearing this, Tian Sha couldn’t help but exclaim anxiously: ”Why are you concerned about all that? The Water Origin is right in front of you, aren’t you going to grab it?”

”Isn’t your goal to obtain the Water Origin?”

”It’s right in front of you now, are you going to miss such an opportunity?”

”As for what you mentioned, why you didn’t discover its presence earlier. If you had, would it still be the Water Origin? I’ve told you, the Water Origin is too powerful, if it wants to hide, no one can discover it.”

”As for being discovered now, that’s just our good luck, Brother Lin. Stop hesitating and go quickly, look, it’s about to escape...”

Then they saw the ’tree demon,’ seemingly about to vanish.

At this moment, the mist among the trees began to swirl under the influence of the water spiritual energy, draping a layer of mystery over the deep forest.

Lin Dong stood before the towering ancient tree, eyes ablaze, staring intently at the ”tree demon” about to merge into the night color.

This tree demon was uncommon; its twisted trunk seemed to harbor endless years of vicissitudes, and the branches and leaves faintly emitted a ghostly green light, like a specter from the abyss slowly slipping into nothingness.

It indeed seemed, just like Tian Sha said, about to disappear and flee.

”Since that’s the case, then I’ll go and kill it...” Lin Dong’s voice was exceptionally clear amidst the silent forest.

Words unspoken, his figure shifted, darting towards the tree demon like an arrow released from a bow.

Lin Dong donned a tight-fitting outfit, stepping lightly, each step matching the rhythm of nature, showcasing his prowess as a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.

As Lin Dong drew near, the tree demon also seemed to sense the threat and no longer feigned concealment.

Its massive form suddenly surged with an ominous power, previously static vines seemed endowed with life, bursting from the ground like spiritual snakes, rushing towards Lin Dong with sharp whistling sounds.

These vines were covered with rough bark on the surface, extremely tough, with each one containing enough power to tear through iron.

”This tree demon has actually reached three-star Demon Emperor level strength, truly rare,” Lin Dong contemplated silently, yet showed no fear on his face.

He knew that for a tree to become a demon was immensely difficult; to cultivate to the level of a Demon Emperor was exceedingly rare, even across millennia.

Although this tree demon was merely comparable to a three-star Demon Emperor, within its domain, it was undoubtedly a dominant presence.

Facing the overwhelming vines, Lin Dong did not shrink back; he twisted his wrist, and a long sword entirely crystal clear, emitting a faint gentle radiance appeared in his hand, precisely his lifebound Spirit Sword—Yangxin Sword.

The Yangxin Sword was extraordinary, containing an aura of great calm and harmony within, capable of nourishing the mind while displaying unparalleled sword intent.

Lin Dong’s wrist lightly shook, and Yangxin Sword transformed into a silver streak, cleaving through the night sky, colliding with those vines.

Wherever the sword light reached, vines snapped, turning into wood chips scattered across the ground. Lin Dong’s sword technique was precise and fierce, weakening the tree demon’s attacks with every strike.

However, the tree demon was obviously not going to be defeated so easily. After the vines were severed, it began regenerating at an astonishing speed.

Meanwhile, the dense leaves on its crown appeared invisibly drawn, detaching from the branches, transforming into countless sharp green arrows, accompanied by the sound of the wind, pouring down on Lin Dong.

These leaves were incredibly fast, with tricky angles, each like meticulously polished hidden weapons capable of penetrating a cultivator’s protective spirit energy.

Faced with this sudden attack, Lin Dong’s figure retreated once more, while Yangxin Sword danced swiftly, the sword light weaving into an impenetrable sword net, knocking down each arrow-like leaf.

The battle amidst the forest continued, Lin Dong and the three-layered Heavenly Demon Emperor-level tree demon appeared to be in a stalemate.

Every clash between Yangxin Sword and the vines came with air-ripping sounds and flying wood chips, creating a thrilling scene.

Just then, Lin Dong’s gaze suddenly swept aside, fixing on Tian Sha.

He noticed that Tian Sha was closely observing his battle with the tree demon with the utmost attention.

Lin Dong’s eyes suddenly sparkled, and a seemingly playful yet meaningfully profound smile curled the corner of his mouth.

Followed by a subtle change in Lin Dong’s combat style.

He began to deliberately reveal openings, the swing of Yangxin Sword no longer as fierce as before, instead appearing somewhat powerless, as if gradually falling behind in the battle with the tree demon.

This change not only made the tree demon’s attacks more fierce but also caused the watching Tian Sha’s eyes to shine, pondering something secretly.

”Brother Lin, let me lend you a hand!” Tian Sha’s voice suddenly rang out, carrying an unmistakable trace of delight in the sound.

His figure flashed, swiftly approaching Lin Dong like a ghost, his tone tinged with urgency, seemingly truly intending to help.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong promptly nodded, showing gratitude on his face: ”Okay, Brother Tian Sha, quickly help me, this tree demon is not simple, it’s too troublesome.”

Saying this, he deliberately exposed his back to Tian Sha, posing defenselessly.
