Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2703: Chapter 2702: Cure Curse!

The Winged Angel, Pravina, and the newly joined three Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, Alya, Thor, and Samantha, were seated around the round table in the castle’s center. The flickering candlelight reflected their solemn and determined faces.

The Winged Angel was the first to speak, his voice deep and powerful: ”Everyone, have you heard about Lin Dong lately?”

Upon hearing this, the other three all nodded.

Samantha said, ”This Lin Dong has recently risen as a Tianjiao. I noticed him on the rankings of the Five Elements Stele before. I also took the time to learn some information about him; it’s said that in the outer world, he’s called a Mythical Figure of Ten Thousand Years!”

”And recently, news about him has again surfaced. I’ve heard that he obtained the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique! Is this the reason you invited us to gather this time?”

The Winged Angel nodded and said, ”Since everyone knows about this matter, I won’t beat around the bush.”

”Indeed, the reason for inviting you this time is because of the issue with Lin Dong. Pravina and I have a mortal enemy relationship with that Lin Dong, and both of us want to kill him.”

”You all can join us; we only want Lin Dong dead. As for the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique after his death, it’s yours. How about it?”

Wow!

Upon hearing this, the three were quite moved. Clearly, they were extremely covetous of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique.

”Okay, we’re willing to cooperate with you to kill that Lin Dong together.” The three exchanged glances and nodded.

Hearing this, the Winged Angel and Pravina smiled satisfactorily.

”Lin Dong is currently being tormented by the Dead Soul Curse, but his power remains formidable. For this operation, we must work together to annihilate him and eliminate the threat,” said the Winged Angel.

Pravina added, ”Although Lin Dong’s whereabouts are secretive, we have already grasped some clues.”

Alya lightly nodded, her fingers gently caressing the floating light sphere beside her. The sphere changed colors, seemingly reflecting her inner emotions: ”I’m willing to contribute my strength. He’s dead for sure. Just a mere First Heaven Martial Artist. How strong can he get? We have several Triple-Heaven Martial Artists here.”

Thor let out a low laugh, his eyes glistening with fighting spirit: ”Even if he’s not injured and hasn’t fallen under the Dead Soul Curse, with the five of us working together, he’s as good as dead!”

Samantha closed her eyes for a moment of contemplation, then opened them, her eyes shining with a light of insight: ”Lin Dong, he won’t escape. As long as we find him, the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique will be ours!”

Listening to the three, who were evidently underestimating Lin Dong, the Winged Angel and Pravina exchanged a glance.

Previously, they too underestimated Lin Dong.

And because of that, they paid a heavy price.

”Do not underestimate Lin Dong, or you’ll regret it,” Pravina warned Alya, Thor, and Samantha with a serious expression.

The Winged Angel also said: ”We also thought before that Lin Dong was just a First Heaven martial artist, that killing him would be as easy as turning our hand. But only after facing him did we realize he’s incredibly powerful, not inferior to Fourth Heaven strength.”

”He’s severely injured, and also under the Dead Soul Curse. Do we still need to fear him with five Heavenly Realm Martial Artists?” Alya said with a laugh, obviously disregarding their warning.

”Winged Angel, Pravina, you’re too tense. We are Heavenly Realm Martial Artists; each of us possesses powers beyond mortals. Is there a need to be so cautious dealing with a severely injured person on the verge of death?” Thor added dismissively.

Seeing this, the Winged Angel and Pravina didn’t say anything more.

Indeed, Lin Dong is severely injured and under the Dead Soul Curse, so with five of them together, why would they fear him?

”Seems like the last failure left me with a psychological shadow,” Pravina sighed.

The Winged Angel then said, ”Let’s set off for the Black Soil Plateau now. Previously, I left a mark on Lin Dong. As long as we’re within five hundred miles of him, we can determine his exact location.”

”Okay, let’s go now,” everyone nodded in agreement.

Following that, the five set out to find Lin Dong.

...

Meanwhile, in another place,

In that deep and dark cave, time seemed stretched, each second bearing an inexpressible weight.

Lin Dong sat quietly on a simple rock, surrounded by various herbs and mysterious rune stones, which he had meticulously prepared to dispel the Dead Soul Curse within him.

At the moment, he was experiencing a battle between life and death, with each breath accompanied by intense pain and struggle.

The Detoxification Pill slowly dissolved in Lin Dong’s mouth, a warm energy flowing into his body like a clear spring, attempting to nourish the spring of life dried up by the Dead Soul Curse.

However, this energy infiltration was not smooth sailing, for first it had to face the Dead Soul Curse’s icy cold and ruthless erosion.

The Dead Soul Curse, a curse that had struck fear into countless martial artists throughout history, had long entrenched itself in Lin Dong’s body like a greedy beast, constantly devouring his life energy and willpower.

As the medicinal effect of the Detoxification Pill unfolded, Lin Dong felt an unprecedented pain emanating from deep within his bone marrow, as if ten million sharp needles were piercing every inch of his skin, with each heartbeat causing a tearing pain.

But Lin Dong did not retreat, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, with fresh blood trickling down through his fingers, leaving brilliant red flowers on the rocks.

He kept his eyes tightly shut, the sweat beads on his forehead rolling down like broken beads, yet his resolve remained as steadfast and unmoving as a rock.

Over these long five days and nights, Lin Dong had wavered on the brink of life and death innumerable times, each time pulling back from death’s edge through sheer will to live.

With each pang of pain, he could feel that tenacious and unyielding life energy within him growing stronger in its fight against the Dead Soul Curse, eventually becoming an undeniable force.

Finally, after five days and nights, when the last trace of the Dead Soul Curse’s shadow was dispelled by the Detoxification Pill, Lin Dong felt an unprecedented sense of relief and liberation.

It was as if he had broken free from the endless darkness and returned to the world of light.

At that moment, he opened his eyes, shining with the light of life.

Slowly sitting up, he relished every thread of energy circulating in his body, pure and powerful life force that belonged to him alone.

He took a deep breath, his chest filled with a sense of ease never felt before.

”Finally removed the Dead Soul Curse!” Lin Dong exhaled deeply.

At the same time, he realized the bottleneck trapping him in the First Heaven was about to break open.

”Could it be, I’m about to break through to Second Heaven strength?” Lin Dong felt ecstatic, quickly channeling his Inner Qi to shatter the bottleneck and reach for Second Heaven strength.
