Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 653: Chapter 652, Fierce Battle

”Roar!”

As the humans who had inflicted serious injuries on it drew near once more, the eight towering serpent heads let out a piercing roar. The light emanating from their cold eyes was like a blade of ice, making it impossible to stare directly.

At the same time,

Xu Wendong felt a sharp pain in his soul, like countless steel needles stabbing into his mind.

Fortunately, he had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Otherwise, just the roar of the Eight-Forked Serpent could have shattered his soul.

Just as he adjusted to the pain, one giant serpent head rushed at him, its gaping maw revealing sharp teeth while a fetid breath escaped its mouth.

As the serpent was about to swallow Xu Wendong in one bite, the young man’s figure leaped swiftly, avoiding the fatal attack.

Simultaneously,

he seized the opportunity, wielding the Ge Furnace in his hand, which weighed several hundred pounds, and struck heavily upon the serpent’s head.

Thud!

The sound of the Ge Furnace resembled a loud bell ringing.

The serpent head that had attacked Xu Wendong smashed into the ground, its skin torn and bleeding, evidently suffering severe injuries.

Despite this, Xu Wendong, who had not yet landed, wore a grave expression, his mental focus at a peak.

For the second serpent head was already charging at him.

At this moment,

he could not defend himself.

Thud!

With a muffled crash, Xu Wendong was propelled sideways like a missile, toppling several houses before getting buried beneath the debris.

”This is so damn unfair!” Xu Wendong emerged from the ruins with a sullen face, realizing the Eight-Forked Serpent had eight heads, each with an independent consciousness.

Thus, this battle was equivalent to one against eight.

If he faced an opponent of equal strength, he might still have a chance to win.

But the Eight-Forked Serpent was undoubtedly stronger than him.

However,

he was not afraid.

Not in the slightest.

Because he had already refined the Minor World of Penglai Immortal Island.

His life was now tied to the Minor World of Penglai Immortal Island; as long as it remained intact, no one could kill him.

This was his ace!

Boom, boom, boom!

The Eight-Forked Serpent twisted its massive body, like a truck charging head-on, appearing before Xu Wendong once more.

Seven enormous serpent heads opened their bloody maws, snapping at Xu Wendong, intent on swallowing him whole.

At this moment, Xu Wendong had no way to retreat.

As a serpent head loomed before him, the Ge Furnace in his hand exuded a terrifying aura and struck fiercely, hitting the jaw of the serpent.

But he was knocked sideways by another serpent head.

Splash!

Upon landing, Xu Wendong spat a mouthful of blood, the golden Buddhist light on his body now showing cracks, like the fissured ground.

”The Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt can no longer bear any damage,” Xu Wendong noted gravely. The next second, his pupils convulsed violently.

For he sensed something unusual inside his inner world.

For some reason, the Minor World of Penglai Immortal Island was rapidly shrinking.

Although it had only shrunk by a tenth, it still caused Xu Wendong great anxiety.

Suddenly, he realized something.

He was not truly immortal.

If he suffered serious injuries, even if he did not die, the area of the Minor World would diminish.

Once the Minor World shrunk to nothing, it would signal his demise.

In simpler terms,

he was not truly immortal, just had a thicker lifeline than others.

”With my current strength, I cannot defeat this Eight-Forked Serpent. The best strategy is to lure it into the Minor World.”

”If it enters my Minor World, I can completely annihilate it!”

At this moment,

Xu Wendong had devised a plan.

He quickly darted towards the West Mountain of Jiang Family Village, intending to lure the Eight-Forked Serpent there.

Upon entering the West Mountain,

Xu Wendong unleashed the Minor World of Penglai Immortal Island, decisively stepping inside to await the arrival of the Eight-Forked Serpent.

Although he had opened the Minor World of Penglai Immortal Island, it was nighttime, and the entrance of the Minor World appeared indistinguishable from the real world.

Once the Eight-Forked Serpent entered, it would become prey on his chopping block.

The Eight-Forked Serpent roared like thunder, closely pursuing Xu Wendong, determined to devour him today to vent its rage.

However, upon reaching the West Mountain, it slowed its pace,

suspiciously scanning the surroundings.

Despite being a serpent, it had long gained intelligence and possessed powerful soul force, clearly sensing Xu Wendong had vanished.

Although it was unsure where he went, the Eight-Forked Serpent felt an inexplicable sense of danger.

Cautiously, it advanced, its seven heads vigilantly observing the surroundings to prevent a sudden attack from Xu Wendong or any unforeseen surprises.

The outside world was in an uproar.

Xu Wendong’s sudden disappearance left people amazed, unsure if he was alive or dead.

Nevertheless, some suggested,

even if Xu Wendong had disappeared suddenly, he was not in any danger, as he might be using some Taoist Sect divine skill to land a fatal blow on the Eight-Forked Serpent.

”Uncle Long, do you have any idea what’s going on?” Qingluan couldn’t resist asking Uncle Long in the Dragon Court.

Uncle Long shook his head, ”This young man harbors many secrets unknown to us, but vanishing into thin air is a skill not achievable by ordinary cultivators.”

Ancient texts record that Foundation Establishment Stage experts could extend their lifespan by five hundred years.

Golden Core Period experts could extend their life by a thousand years and had the ability to fly with sword flight.

Nascent Soul Stage experts could extend their life by two thousand years and even teleport instantly over dozens, if not hundreds, of kilometers at a time.

Xu Wendong’s disappearing act closely resembled the teleportation of Nascent Soul Stage experts.

Yet if he were truly a Nascent Soul Stage expert, he could obliterate this beast with mere thought, without needing such elaborate efforts.

Indeed, that Xu Wendong could achieve the Foundation Establishment Stage by eighteen was unprecedented, and reaching the Nascent Soul Stage at this age was absolutely impossible.

------

Jiang Family Village.

Jiang Yuanbo respectfully ended a call from Wa Country, ”Yes, yes, I understand. I shall inform the Divine Beast to leave Great Xia immediately!”

Saying that, he ran towards the West Mountain, having received a call from the country, saying that today’s battle in Great Xia was being globally broadcasted, attracting both domestic and international attention.

While Xu Wendong should face a thousand cuts, for Wa Country’s high officials, getting out of Great Xia was the foremost priority.

In their eyes,

as long as the Eight-Forked Serpent returned to Wa Country, they considered it a victory.

Inside the Minor World,

Xu Wendong heard Jiang Yuanbo’s voice, learning of Wa Country’s plan for the Eight-Forked Serpent to return to the Island Country.

Without hesitation,

he exited the Minor World immediately.

Holding the Ge Furnace, his murderous intent surged, and he bellowed like thunder, ”Even if I can’t kill you, if you want to escape back to Wa Country, you’ll have to step over my dead body!”
