Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2520: Chapter 2519: What Secrets Are Hidden?

Under Lin Dong’s manipulation of mental power, the Blood Shadow Wolves continued to slaughter each other.

And Lin Dong, like the master of all, stood in the center of the blood-colored array.

Soon, the corpses of the once fierce Blood Shadow Wolves were piled up in the Blood Mist Array.

They either twisted or interlaced, silently speaking of that silent yet intense battle just now.

With the last Blood Shadow Wolf ending itself under the manipulation of mental power, the blood-colored mist in the array seemed to shudder and then slowly dissipate.

”Such a pity, no blood-colored light sphere...” Lin Dong muttered softly, with a trace of subtle regret in his tone.

He understood clearly that within this Blood Forbidden Realm, every enhancement of strength was crucial for survival.

However, the differences between Blood Shadow Wolves and Soulshatter Butterflies forced him to accept this reality.

He exhaled lightly, and his figure moved like a ghost, swiftly finding the weak spot of the array; an explosion of powerful mental power shattered the blood-colored array like a broken mirror.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, spilling onto this blood-stained land, bringing a touch of long-lost warmth.

Leaving the array, Lin Dong scanned his surroundings and unexpectedly discovered a human martial artist standing not far away.

This sudden discovery filled his heart with astonishment.

In this blood-colored forbidden zone, considered taboo by the world, were there other human martial artists?

The man’s physique was tall, with blond hair and blue eyes; though his face marked by time, his heroic spirit was undeniable.

He wore a form-fitting battle armor, studded with unknown gemstones, shining brightly in the sunlight and exuding an extraordinary aura.

Lin Dong could sense an indescribable powerful force surging within this man, surpassing ordinary existence.

”Who are you? Why are you here?” Lin Dong spoke first, with a tone of vigilance and curiosity.

The Western man turned, his gaze deep like the night sky.

He smiled slightly, a smile holding both the sediment of years and an ageless depth. ”Hello, I am the Thunder God, or you may call me Albert. I am a member of the Alliance of Heavenly Realm. Pleasure to meet you, young martial artist from Dragon Country.”

While listening to him speak, Lin Dong intentionally observed him closely, trying to discern his strength.

Yet the result was disappointing; he couldn’t fathom the man’s exact realm.

But he could instantly see that he was a Heavenly Realm martial artist, suggesting his incredible strength.

Lin Dong was inwardly shocked; evidently, this person had surpassed the peak of Third-Layer Heavenly Boundary Martial Artist.

For only those above such strength were beyond Lin Dong’s perception of their realm.

”Young friend, it seems to be your first time in this Blood Forbidden Realm,” Thunder God spoke, a smile on his face.

Lin Dong nodded and countered, ”Could it be that this is not your first time here? You seem quite familiar with this place.”

Thunder God nodded, his eyes gleaming with the light of memories, he said, ”This is my second time here.”

”Years ago, I, along with another companion, were drawn by the secrets of this Blood Forbidden Realm. We ventured here, but ultimately, only I returned alone. Today I revisit, solely to unearth that unfinished mystery.”

”It’s not only to give myself an explanation but also to give an explanation to my deceased companion.”

Hearing this, Lin Dong finally understood the man’s identity.

Entering this Blood Forbidden Realm, the most famous groups were those from Xiong Country—a battle team with Earth Realm martial artist strength. They all ventured here, never to return, perishing within.

Then, there was the Heavenly Realm martial artist ’Broken Sword Emperor’ from Kunlun, whom Lin Dong previously encountered as the one-armed elder. He survived the Blood Forbidden Realm, but ultimately lost an arm and his mind became unclear.

Lastly, there were two Heavenly Realm martial artists from the Alliance of Heavenly Realm. One fell here, while one survived.

Clearly, this Thunder God before him is the surviving Heavenly Realm martial artist from the guild.

”These surviving Heavenly Realm martial artists, upon returning, always discouraged entry to this Blood Forbidden Realm, yet why have they themselves come back?”

”It seems there must be secrets within this Blood Forbidden Realm that draw even Heavenly Realm martial artists, or else why would they risk their lives here again...”

Thinking this, Lin Dong’s eyes flickered, and he began to feel guarded against this man.

Just then, Thunder God smiled and proposed, ”Young friend, perhaps we can join forces. In this Blood Forbidden Realm, an additional Heavenly Realm martial artist means additional strength.”

He appeared warm and proactive, which heightened Lin Dong’s vigilance.

However, Lin Dong’s expression remained unchanged, showing neither joy nor anger.

He smiled and nodded, ”I wouldn’t refuse, especially to partner with a veteran of this Blood Forbidden Realm. How could I say no?”

”Haha, great. Young friend, you’re a straightforward person. I don’t even know your name yet. To be so young and reach the Heavenly Realm martial artist strength, young friend might be a top genius of some hidden clan from Dragon Country?”

Thunder God laughed heartily, extending his fan-like hand for a handshake with Lin Dong.

Lin Dong shook hands with him, speaking casually as he made up, ”I am Tianxing Feng, Dragon Country’s Hidden Clan’s pride, a son of the Tian Family!”

Saying this, Lin Dong secretly thought, ”Brother Tian, apologies for borrowing your name.”

”So you are a son from Dragon Country Hidden Clan’s Tian Family! I have heard of the Tian Family, renowned as a top clan in ancient times, esteemed by the Hidden Clan. Their most outstanding prodigy of each generation was called ’Son of Heaven’. Young friend is from Tian Family; no wonder you’ve achieved the Heavenly Realm martial artist strength at such a young age, respected, respected...”

Thunder God cupped his hand, hearing the name of Tian Family, he felt solemn admiration.

Lin Dong quietly pondered, amazed at the Tian Family’s powerful reputation, even known by overseas Heavenly Realm martial artists.

”Thunder God senior, the upcoming journey in the Blood Forbidden Realm requires your guidance,” Lin Dong said politely.

”Haha, it’s hardly trouble; we are mutually supporting each other.” Thunder God laughed again, leading Lin Dong, continuing deeper into the Blood Forbidden Realm.

Lin Dong and Thunder God walked side by side, their steps were steady and strong, as if no hardships could hinder their progress.

”Thunder God senior, I’ve heard that within the Blood Forbidden Realm grows a miraculous flower called Heart Speech Flower. It not only heals hearts and enhances mental power but is also a treasure coveted by many martial artists. Do you know its exact location?”

Lin Dong asked tentatively as they walked.

He hadn’t revealed to Thunder God that he was specifically looking for Heart Speech Flower, nor did he mention needing it to lift the ’Dead Soul Curse’ upon him.

His heart held great wariness toward this man, thus he wouldn’t disclose everything.
