Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2817: Chapter 2816: Thunder’s Helplessness

Under the sky torn apart by thunder and lightning, the fierce battle between Lin Dong and Thunder had reached a feverish stage.

The two figures were like apparitions, interweaving in an instant, each collision accompanied by deafening booms, as if the heavens and earth themselves were trembling.

Lin Dong, relying on his exceptional physical strength, slightly held the upper hand in each exchange, his muscles like iron cast, even Thunder’s fierce attacks struggled to leave marks on him.

However, Lin Dong also knew well that merely relying on physical strength to completely defeat his powerful opponent in front of him was nothing but a pipe dream.

Only Thunder, if relying solely on physical strength to defeat Lin Dong, was even more impossible.

"Since head-on confrontation can’t lead to a quick victory, then I’ll tangle with him!" Thunder secretly calculated, deciding to adopt a strategy of attrition warfare.

He took a deep breath, his body surrounded by thunder light, the Heavenly Thunder Dominating Body pushed to the extreme, a force of ultimate domineering surged from within him, as if tearing the surrounding air apart.

"The Heavenly Thunder Dominating Body is an untransmitted secret of my Thunder Clan, greatly enhancing my physical defense and recovery, accelerating the circulation and recovery of inner qi. Hmph, even if Lin Dong’s strength is strong, how long can he last?" Thunder sneered inwardly, filled with confidence in his choice.

He knew that he held an absolute advantage in realm — the cultivation level of the Fourth Layer Heaven Peak compared to Lin Dong’s Late Stage of the Second Heaven was undoubtedly crushing.

In terms of the total amount and quality of inner qi, he had an overwhelming advantage, enough to sustain long-time combat.

"Moreover, here is my Sky Thunder Domain, my home field!" Thunder’s gaze was sharp, sweeping over the thunder-light-covered space.

In this domain, his inner qi could be naturally replenished, although not infinitely fast, it was enough to keep him undefeated in battle.

"As long as I persist, continuously draining his stamina and inner qi, he will eventually exhaust himself and perish." Thunder calculated in his mind, each thought clear and cold.

However, battles are often more complex and changeable than imagined.

Lin Dong, despite feeling unprecedented pressure, did not show signs of excessive inner qi consumption; instead, it inspired stronger enthusiasm for battle.

The more he fought, the braver he became!

A half-hour passed, Thunder had already delivered thousands of moves, each one with all his might, his inner qi starting to come up short, and his face gradually turned pale.

In contrast, Lin Dong remained calm and composed, as if showing no exhaustion.

This shocked Thunder’s heart: "How can his inner qi be so abundant? Could it be... he’s hiding some secret?"

Thunder did not know that the reason Lin Dong could remain undefeated in such high-intensity battle was due to possessing an unimaginable secret — three spirits and souls.

Among Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, having two spirits and souls was rare, yet Lin Dong had three, making his inner qi reserves far exceed ordinary people in the same realm, reaching astonishing figures several or even tens of times that of the same level.

This was also why, despite Thunder’s strength being in the Fourth Layer of Heavenly Realm, he couldn’t exhaust Lin Dong.

Moreover, he had underestimated Lin Dong’s trump cards.

Lin Dong still had the Deadwood Dan, which he hadn’t used yet!

As thunder light enveloped, the duel between Thunder and Lin Dong grew even more intense, as if pulling this piece of heaven and earth into an endless storm.

Relying on the unique advantage of the Sky Thunder Domain, even after half an hour of fierce engagement, Thunder’s inner qi was still able to continually draw power from the surrounding thunder and lightning, seemingly inexhaustible.

"Come, continue! Let us fight for three hundred more rounds!"

He took a deep breath violently, as if to ingest all the thunder and lightning between heaven and earth.

At that moment, his aura became unprecedentedly powerful, each move contained earth-shattering power, as if the Thunder God descended, unstoppable.

Facing Thunder’s sudden assault, Lin Dong had no choice but to mobilize more inner qi to withstand, and the battle between the two instantly escalated, with the consumption rate of inner qi reaching several times that of before.

Thunder rejoiced inwardly, thinking he had found the key to defeating Lin Dong:

"In such high-intensity attrition warfare, let’s see how long you can last!"

However, Lin Dong’s face showed no sign of panic; instead, a cold smile graced his lips, as if he had already seen through Thunder’s scheme.

"Thunder, you think relying on the Sky Thunder Domain can wear me down and consume me to death? You’re too naive." Lin Dong’s words carried a hint of disdain, "Your Sky Thunder Domain can convert thunder and lightning power into inner qi, and I also have methods to replenish inner qi."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Dong took out a bottle of Deadwood Dan from his bosom, shook it lightly, and three pills fell into his palm.

Without hesitation, he swallowed them, and the Deadwood Dan transformed into a warm flow instantly integrating into his body, and Lin Dong’s inner qi also restored to peak state, as if never having been consumed.

This scene turned Thunder’s complexion extremely unsightly.

Deadwood Dan, those were highly precious pills, supreme treasures for the restoration of inner qi for Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.

And Lin Dong, actually consumed three so easily, was simply a huge waste of resources.

"How many Deadwood Dan can you bring out? Such precious pills, you can’t keep consuming them." Thunder’s voice carried a trace of unwillingness and anger.

However, Lin Dong’s response plunged him into utter despair: "Is that so? I’m sorry, it seems you’ll be disappointed again. Deadwood Dan, I can refine them myself, so for me, they are just beans easily obtainable."

Saying that, he shook the Deadwood Pill Bottle in his hand again, revealing dozens of pills remaining inside, gleaming enticingly.

At this moment, Thunder was completely dumbfounded.

He never imagined that Lin Dong possessed the ability to refine Deadwood Dan, meaning that in this attrition warfare, Lin Dong’s inner qi would always remain full.

While he could only rely on the slow recovery from the Sky Thunder Domain, his previous attempt to exhaust Lin Dong clearly became an impossible task.

"You truly are one of the most troublesome opponents I have ever encountered, almost like that damn bald monk." Thunder’s expression was extremely unsightly.

The ’damn bald monk’ he referred to was none other than the top-ranked white-clothed Blood Monk on the Five Elements Stele.

As the previous second-ranked existence on the Five Elements Stele, he naturally sought out the white-clothed Blood Monk to challenge him.

But clearly, all had ended in failure.

Under the Secondary Ancestor, he always regarded the white-clothed Blood Monk as the strongest opponent.

Yet now, this strongest opponent had gained another.

That was Lin Dong standing before him.

Lin Dong laughably said: "The bald monk you mentioned, isn’t he the white-clothed Blood Monk ranked first on the Five Elements Stele?"

"Oh? You know him too?" Thunder was somewhat surprised.

"Of course, I just met him a few days ago, had a non-life-and-death contest with him. Very fortunately, the final result was that I won against him," Lin Dong casually said.

Upon hearing this, Thunder’s complexion changed drastically, blurting out:

"You defeated the white-clothed Blood Monk?"
