Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 163: Chapter 162, A Well-Intentioned Lie Taken as Truth

Without warning.

An old bald man, appearing to be in his eighties with a hunched back and a face full of wrinkles, appeared behind Xu Wendong. He was naked, and the folds on his body resembled the bark of a withered tree, looking especially eerie.

However, his eyes were bright and lively, like stars in the darkness, or like a boundless black hole that would swallow one’s consciousness at a glance.

Even Xu Wendong was momentarily entranced upon seeing him, but he quickly returned to normal. After all, he was a cultivator in the Yin-Cultivating Realm, with a mental strength beyond ordinary.

”Mister Xu, he’s the one who appears in my dreams again and again. You must help me kill him!” Yan Liuli looked at the old man with trepidation and instinctively hid behind Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong hadn’t even spoken when the old man’s voice rang out, sinister and sharp, ”Just relying on a young boy who still smells of milk, how could he compete with this poor monk?”

Xu Wendong was puzzled, ”Are you really part of the Buddhist Sect? Using such evil methods to torture others? I don’t understand; do you truly think you’re impressive? Aren’t you ashamed?”

Upon saying this, his gaze locked onto an inconspicuous object on the old man’s person.

The elderly man burst into rage, ”Are you insulting this poor monk?”

Xu Wendong laughed, ”Can’t you see such an obvious thing?”

After a pause, his eyes turned icy, ”You’re a cultivator from another country but dare to bully my Great Xia citizens, truly thinking the Great Xia Cultivators have no successors?”

The old man let out a loud laugh, ”Stop flattering yourself. Are there still any cultivators in Great Xia?”

Xu Wendong furrowed his brows, ”What do you mean?”

The old man snorted coldly, ”Your Great Xia Country entered the Age of Dharma Decline a century ago, where nature’s spiritual energy is extremely scarce and no cultivator has been able to pass down their legacy.”

Xu Wendong was full of confusion, for though he had become a cultivator, he knew nothing of the Age of Dharma Decline. It seemed this world was far more magnificent than he imagined, and he had only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.

The old man’s eyes were filled with disdain, ”Though you have stepped into the ranks of cultivators, in this poor monk’s eyes, you are just a rookie. Killing you would be like taking something out of a bag.”

”However, there’s a saying in your Great Xia that speaks well, ’Heaven has the virtue of nurturing life.’”

”I can leave you a way out for the sake of Heaven’s virtue of nurturing life, but you must swear to worship this poor monk and venerate this poor monk’s golden image.”

”In this way, this poor monk will grant you this woman along with the fortune upon her.”

Xu Wendong scoffed, ”Even if I am a rookie, it’s more than enough to kill you.”

”Courting death!”

The old man’s gaze sharpened, and he thrust a palm towards Xu Wendong from afar.

In an instant, the wind arose, and the clouds surged. A massive golden palm appeared out of nowhere, exuding an aura of annihilating the heavens and earth, pressing towards Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong’s tiger-like body quivered, and the sound of a dragon’s roar echoed through the sky as a several-meters-long Golden Dragon manifested from within him, emanating an aura overlooking all beings.

He cultivated the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique, and once cultivated to a certain level, True Qi could transform into a dragon. Though he was now in Yan Liuli’s dream, he could use his mental power to transform into a dragon.

Of course, in the real world, he did not possess such divine skills. Ultimately, it was in Yan Liuli’s dream that he could perform such divine skills.

”What?”

The old man and Yan Liuli were both taken aback, not expecting Xu Wendong to possess such methods.

Before the two could react, the Golden Dragon directly pierced through the old man’s attack, like lightning, penetrating the old man’s chest, causing him to spew a mouthful of blood.

Then, the Golden Dragon appeared beneath Xu Wendong, lifting him into the air. Overlooking the old man, he let a puzzling curve form at the corner of his mouth, ”Old fool, do you believe it now that I say I’ll cut you down?”

”Who on earth are you? How do you have such formidable strength?” The old man’s eyes were filled with fear, never imagining he would be defeated by a young man and in such a complete manner.

Yan Liuli also looked at Xu Wendong, dumbfounded, the scene before her overturning her understanding, and Xu Wendong’s image now was like a burning brand deeply imprinted in her deepest consciousness.

She had never seen such a brave and handsome man.

A person like this.

Who wouldn’t love him?

Who wouldn’t want to be in perfect harmony with him?

”Is my strength really that strong?” Xu Wendong shook his head, ”No, no, no. I am merely a bottom-tier rookie in the cultivation realm of Great Xia!” As he finished his words, he pointed from afar, and a golden light pierced through the old man’s brow, dissolving him in Yan Liuli’s dream.

Simultaneously, Xu Wendong lightly landed on the ground, his face showing utter exhaustion. The previous battle seemed like an overwhelming victory, but in fact, he had exhausted a great deal of mental energy and now felt a sense of dizziness.

”Did he just die like that?” Yan Liuli asked, her heart still in turmoil.

”Not that easy!” Xu Wendong smiled wryly, ”One could only say that I cut off the spiritual seed in your Sea of Consciousness. Even so, it wouldn’t harm him much, and it wouldn’t affect his main body at all.”

”But you don’t need to worry, from now on, he won’t appear in your dreams again.”

Hearing this, Yan Liuli finally breathed a sigh of relief and curiously asked, ”Mister Xu, are there really legendary cultivators in the world with vast divine skills, able to ascend the skies and tunnel into the ground?”

Today’s events had overturned her understanding of the world, and she was eager to know the answer.

Xu Wendong forced a smile, ”Haven’t you seen them today?”

”As for the type of cultivator you mentioned, capable of ascending the skies and tunneling into the ground, I haven’t encountered any.”

”But that is the ultimate goal for countless cultivators. I believe someone must have reached that height in the past.”

On this point, Xu Wendong did not exaggerate, for the Dragon Phoenix Creation Technique mentioned that once a certain level of cultivation was attained, one could perform Sword Flight and roam the Nine Heavens.

”My daughter’s defeat by you is indeed a glorious one despite the loss!” Yan Liuli exclaimed with a smile.

Xu Wendong asked with concern, ”How are you feeling now?”

Yan Liuli beamed, ”I feel an indescribable lightness throughout my body.”

”That should do it,” Xu Wendong said, ”Your nightmare has been dispelled. Now, let me leave!”

He wished to go back and have a good sleep to restore his mental strength.

”Why would I let you leave?” Yan Liuli’s face revealed a mischievous smile, ”Have you forgotten the promise you made to me earlier?”

”Huh?” Xu Wendong was completely surprised, ”What did I promise you?”

Yan Liuli stuck out her tongue and alluringly licked her lips, ”You said, as long as that person is killed, you’ll be in perfect harmony with me, becoming as close as Guan and Bao. Did you forget?”

Xu Wendong was dumbfounded, ”Miss Yan, I’m a doctor. Often, to encourage patients and give them hope to survive, I say a few white lies. You wouldn’t have taken them seriously, right?”
