Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2240: Chapter 2239: Calculating Against Each Other

The two were now locked in a standoff.

Lin Sumei felt a bit frustrated. He was clearly a Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist who had also comprehended the ’Sword Domain’, yet he found himself unable to defeat Lin Dong.

"To kill him, it would require at least a Third Heavenly Realm Martial Artist," Lin Sumei thought to himself.

That being said, judging by Lin Dong’s current display of strength, killing Lin Sumei would also evidently be very difficult for Lin Dong.

The two were engaged in a fierce battle.

"It seems my only option is to keep wearing him down. I refuse to believe he can maintain his Wuji Illusion Path indefinitely."

"Once the Wuji Illusion Path dissipates, I can locate his true form and slaughter him!"

Lin Sumei thought to himself.

He was now trapped within Lin Dong’s Wuji Illusion Path, unable to attack Lin Dong’s true form.

As for attacking his Buddha and Demon Dharma Body, its recovery ability was too terrifying. Essentially, as soon as one sword hole was struck open, it would immediately recover.

Within this Wuji Illusion Path, it was utterly impossible for Lin Sumei to kill Lin Dong.

The best strategy he could think of was to constantly drain Lin Dong.

To make Lin Dong’s Wuji Illusion Path vanish.

In terms of mutual depletion, in terms of the foundation of Inner Qi, as a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, he shouldn’t lose to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong’s use of the forbidden art ’Infinite Divine Realm’ naturally required a significant consumption of Inner Qi. It’s impossible to maintain it indefinitely.

Moreover, integrating illusion techniques to transform the ’Infinite Divine Realm’ into the ’Wuji Illusion Path’ consumed even more Inner Qi.

Aside from Inner Qi, using the Wuji Illusion Path also required Mental Power.

This meant a dual drain of Inner Qi and Mental Power.

Furthermore, within the Wuji Illusion Path, Lin Dong had also summoned his Dharma Body to fight Lin Sumei using the ’Integration of Man and Dharma’.

This kind of consumption was evidently greater than Lin Sumei’s.

Both Inner Qi and Mental Power consumption were more than Lin Sumei’s.

At this moment, Lin Dong himself also realized this.

"Boom boom boom～～～"

Then, under Lin Dong’s relentless attacks, Lin Sumei’s Dharma Body was battered with hole after hole by Lin Dong’s Buddha and Demon Dharma Body.

It appeared Lin Dong had the upper hand, but as the drain continued, who would remain foreseeing the final outcome was uncertain.

Moreover, Lin Sumei later altered his combat strategy!

He reduced his attacks, spending more time evading.

Thus, his consumption was slightly reduced.

"Lin Dong, whatever skills you have, feel free to use them," Lin Sumei said laughingly, "Why don’t you use your sword techniques?"

"Isn’t your strongest attack the sword techniques?"

"Why don’t you even dare use sword techniques now?"

"A swordsman that fears wielding his own sword is hardly a swordsman!"

Lin Sumei kept talking, provoking Lin Dong.

Attempting to expedite his depletion.

The reason Lin Dong didn’t use sword techniques was naturally because, before Lin Sumei’s Sword Domain, his sword techniques were totally ineffective.

He once commanded the Buddha and Demon Dharma Body to unleash his strongest Sword Intention Fusion Sword.

Yet it was still blocked by Lin Sumei’s Sword Domain.

If he kept using it, he wouldn’t be able to wield it many times before draining his Inner Qi severely, and losing control of the Infinite Divine Realm.

Without the Infinite Divine Realm, Lin Dong would be unable to withstand Lin Sumei’s Third Layer of Streaming Light Sword Intention!

This was why Lin Dong had been employing the ancient martial fist technique ’Liuhe Dragon Fist’ and Ancient Martial Arts God-cutting Axe instead.

Doing so not only reduced the consumption,

but also inflicted noticeable damage upon Lin Sumei.

It wouldn’t be easily neutralized by his Sword Domain.

"Lin Dong, if a swordsman lacks the courage to unsheathe his sword, then how can his sword take lives?"

"I know why you don’t dare unsheathe your sword. It’s because you know no matter what ancient martial sword techniques or even sword intents you use, you can’t harm me."

"Before my Sword Domain, all your Kendo is ineffective against me. It’s like a child confronting an adult, knowing his fists can’t hurt the adult. Thus, the child loses the courage to punch the adult..."

Saying this, Lin Sumei suddenly made his move.

"Third Layer of Streaming Light Sword Intention, Instant Kill!"

Whoosh!

Lin Sumei’s silhouette vanished abruptly, transforming into starlight, and flickered through the sky at eight thousand meters high.

Subsequently, he suddenly appeared right in front of Lin Dong’s true form.

He thrust a sword forward!

"Puff!"

The sword pierced ’Lin Dong’.

However, this ’Lin Dong’ was just another illusion.

Within the Wuji Illusion Path, Lin Dong existed everywhere, formless, seemed to have condensed into a body.

But that body was not his true self.

Seeing this, Lin Sumei sighed inwardly, yet his face revealed no negative expression; rather, he laughed hysterically.

"Lin Dong, do you see this? This is the difference between you and me!"

"Though we are both Sword Cultivators, the sword in my hand fears nothing and charges forward! Whereas you are but a coward, your sword filled with fear!"

"Ultimately you can never become a swordsman like me. People like you will never step into the realm of Sword Domain for a lifetime..."

Lin Sumei kept saying provocative words to Lin Dong, trying to guide him to unsheathe his sword. If Lin Dong kept unsheathing his sword, his depletion would increase.

According to Lin Sumei’s estimate, if Lin Dong unleashed that Sword Intention Fusion Sword, with his foundation of Inner Qi, he could use it at most ten times. After ten times, the true victor would be decided!

Lin Dong naturally understood the aim behind those words.

He said with a smile, "Lin Sumei, although a sword needs to show its sharpness, sometimes it must hide its edge!"

"Without concealing the edge, where would the sword light burst across nineteen states at the moment it unsheathes?"

Hearing this, Lin Sumei laughed and said, "Is that so? Well, then, you can continue being a turtle in its shell."

Lin Sumei wasn’t in a hurry either.

He had all the time in the world to wear down Lin Dong.

After all, within Lin Dong’s Wuji Illusion Path, Lin Dong’s depletion of Inner Qi and Mental Power was much greater than his.

Afterward, Lin Sumei did not use Streaming Light Sword Intention anymore either.

Utilizing the Third Layer of Streaming Light Sword Intention entailed considerable consumption for him.

The two controlled their Dharma Bodies in a clash again, returning to a state of standoff.

"This won’t work, dragging it out like this is too slow," Lin Sumei thought to himself.

Originally, he aimed for passive defense.

However, he realized that as he stopped initiating attacks, Lin Dong also ceased to do so.

Thus, although Lin Dong was depleting more Inner Qi and Mental Power than him,

it wasn’t significantly more!

This depletion could allow Lin Dong to persist for quite some time.

"I must attack! As long as I attack, he has no option but to use techniques to defend! Additionally, I can employ Kendo to force through his illusionary realm."

"Even if it can’t be breached, it would still bring significant depletion to him!"

Upon realizing this, Lin Sumei hesitated no longer.

He controlled the ’Formless Sword God Dharma Body’, and struck another sword at Lin Dong’s Buddha and Demon Dharma Body.

"Matchless Sword, Yin Yang Separation!"

Seeing this, Lin Dong had no choice but to deploy ancient martial arts for defense.

Consequently, Lin Dong’s consumption significantly increased.
