Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2850: Chapter 2849: You Are Not Tian Sha!

Lin Dong’s fierce battle with the Tree Demon intensified, and he seemed to be at a disadvantage, deliberately exposing his back to Tian Sha.

But Lin Dong’s eyes, inadvertently, flashed with an unusual glow.

At this moment, Tian Sha’s figure, like a ghost in the night, silently closed in until the distance between them was less than a meter, close enough to feel each other’s breath.

"Lin Dong, I’m here to help you. If we join forces, we can surely defeat this Water Origin transformed into a Tree Demon..."

Tian Sha’s face wore a hypocritical smile, as if he truly intended to lend a hand in this critical moment, giving Lin Dong an assist.

However, just as he approached, a chill suddenly spread—an omen of water element spiritual power condensed to the extreme.

Tian Sha’s eyes instantly turned cold and ruthless, a sword light formed purely from water flow flickered in the moonlight, like a poised poisonous snake, silently shooting towards Lin Dong’s unguarded back.

This strike, filled with Tian Sha’s entire killing intent and calculation, he thought could deliver a fatal blow in Lin Dong’s weakest, most helpless moment, slaughtering him.

Yet, just when he believed victory was within grasp, an unexpected change occurred.

At the critical moment when the water flow sword was about to touch Lin Dong’s back, Lin Dong’s body suddenly erupted with a dazzling light.

Golden brilliance shrouded his entire body like the first rays of dawn.

Within that light, faintly visible were the patterns of dragon scales, each flashing with a chilling gleam, his Dragon Blood Holy Body triggered at this key moment.

He instantly performed the secret skill of Dragon Blood Holy Body Reverse Scale Transformation.

Under the Reverse Scale Transformation, Lin Dong’s defensive power reached an astonishing level, even that attack from Tian Sha, filled with all his spiritual power, was completely bounced off upon contact with the golden dragon scales, as if hitting an impenetrable copper wall.

The water flow sword dissipated at the touch of the dragon scales, turning into droplets, falling to the ground silently.

Tian Sha’s face instantly became pale, eyes full of shock and disbelief.

He never anticipated Lin Dong could, at such a critical moment, unleash such powerful defense skills, turning his meticulously planned ambush into a bubble.

"You... how are you guarding against me?"

Tian Sha’s voice shook, extremely unwilling in his tone, he could not understand why Lin Dong would be wary of him, his ’companion’.

As if he had expected, he would ambush at this moment.

What was going on?

Lin Dong’s face bore a mocking smile, his gaze sharp as a hawk’s, staring directly at "Tian Sha", sneering:

"Stop acting, you’re not Tian Sha! Your disguise, is merely a clumsy drama to me."

"Hmm?" As these words came out, "Tian Sha’s" face instantly became even paler.

Eagerly defending himself: "Brother Lin, what are you talking about? If I’m not Tian Sha, who am I?"

Lin Dong’s lips curled into a cold smile, his tone full of mockery:

"Heh, who are you? Should I call you Water Origin, or Shadow Emperor? But I lean towards calling you Shadow Emperor, because even the real Shadow Emperor doesn’t have half your acting skills."

The words "Water Origin" once uttered, "Tian Sha’s" face changed dramatically, as if struck by lightning, his whole body shook.

He still tried to hide, attempting to confound with words, hurriedly said: "What are you saying? I’m your companion Tian Sha, how could I be Water Origin?"

However, Lin Dong didn’t give him a chance to continue to be evasive, his gaze filled with certainty: "Still acting? Heh... that sword you ambushed me with just now contained extremely rich Water Origin power."

"If you aren’t Water Origin, how could you use it? Don’t forget, the thing Tian Sha is least proficient at is water element attacks."

Faced with Lin Dong’s relentless pursuit, "Tian Sha" finally shed all disguises, no longer attempting to hide its true identity.

It still maintained the form of "Tian Sha", but those eyes no longer held human emotions, instead filled with coldness and greed.

It said to Lin Dong: "Humans, I really underestimated you. But even if you uncovered my identity, what can you do? Today, you still must die, become my nourishment."

As it spoke, "Tian Sha’s" voice had turned deep and hoarse, as if calling from the abyss, carrying an irresistible force.

Lin Dong looked at the "Tian Sha" who finally admitted its identity, his lips curling into an amused smile, he slowly said:

"Seems I underestimated you as well. In this forest, I’ve been trying to find your tracks, yet never expected you could transform into such a convincing Tian Sha."

"Moreover, if my guess is correct, you should have the ability to read some of our outsiders’ memories, including some of mine and Tian Sha’s memories."

Water Origin, still maintained the form of "Tian Sha", but its eyes fully revealed its essence—a glint cold and greedy.

It licked its lips, a sinister smile curling from the corners, as if enjoying the pleasure brought by the prey soon in its grasp:

"You’re right, the power of our origin force, isn’t something you tiny human bipeds can imagine."

"You always see yourselves as high, considering us as prey, yet never realizing you are the ultimate nourishment. I’ve devoured quite a few humans like you already, and you will become one of them."

Speaking of this, Water Origin’s voice turned even deeper and hoarse, like a call from the abyss, carrying an irresistible power.

It continued: "But before I devour you, I’m rather curious. How did you manage to guess my identity earlier? I thought my disguise and acting were perfect, flawless..."

Lin Dong looked at Water Origin’s eyes full of doubt, feeling a hint of clarity emerge in his mind.

He slowly said: "Actually, your performance was indeed excellent, almost made me believe you were the real Tian Sha."

"But there were some details that raised my suspicion."

"First, Tian Sha wouldn’t consistently praise Origin power’s might, he would only treat it as Heavenly and Earthly treasures like nourishment. But you were different, always praising the might of that Origin power, especially Water Origin’s might. This raised my doubts about you."

"Also, Tian Sha has seen my strength. He wouldn’t possibly not know that I couldn’t handle a three-star Demon Emperor Tree Demon. But you said you wanted to help me? Heh, this almost confirmed you aren’t Tian Sha."

"As for specifically determining you were Water Origin, it was when you ambushed me."

"The sword you used may have seemed ordinary, but the Water Origin power within was something I’ve never felt from Tian Sha. Only Water Origin could wield it."

"Of course, throughout the whole process, most importantly was your displayed understanding of me, surpassing an ordinary companion. You accurately grasped my mindset and attacked using my weaknesses. These made me suspicious of you."

Upon saying this, Lin Dong’s eyes turned firm and sharp, he seemed ready for a life-and-death struggle against Water Origin.

And Water Origin showed a look of realization, it murmured: "Seems I’m ultimately not you bipeds, truly mimicking you, making false real, too hard."

"You humans, bipeds, have too many things we other species lack. Those things cannot be duplicated... but no matter, next, you will become my nourishment."

"It’s been too long since I last devoured a human."

At this, its eyes revealed a ghastly green light...
