Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 3196: Chapter 1195: Life and Death at the Brink

Lin Dong jumped into the Ice Well, feeling an incredibly terrifying spirit suppression.

At the same time, he hurriedly glanced around.

He discovered that inside this ’Ice Well’ was a giant ice element space; the surrounding ice walls were crystal clear, exuding a chilling aura.

At the center of the space, a huge ice-sealed prison towered, with a vague gigantic figure writhing within.

Lin Dong’s heart tightened; he knew that it was the ghost beast suppressed here.

Just then, the ice-sealed prison suddenly shook violently, and cracks spread across the ice surface.

Lin Dong’s eyes widened as a fully crystalline Phoenix slowly emerged from the prison. This Phoenix was dozens of feet tall, radiating ice-blue light, with every feather resembling ice crystal sculpture, shimmering with a mysterious and cold gleam.

Its eyes were like deep cold pools, exuding endless cold and majesty, seemingly capable of penetrating a person’s soul.

"A ghost beast in the fifty-fourth rank of Phoenix form!" Lin Dong was shocked; he never thought the ghost beast suppressed in the Ice Well would be so terrifying.

The ghost beast of the fifty-fourth rank had unfathomable power.

The ghost beast in Phoenix form sensed Lin Dong, the outsider, and without hesitation, its wings slightly trembled, sending a wave of spiritual power with cold ice breath to suppress Lin Dong.

All were spiritual ice elements transformed into attacks, like surging tides with a mountainous force, instantly enveloping Lin Dong.

Lin Dong felt piercing pain in his head, as if countless ice needles were piercing his nerves.

His body shuddered uncontrollably, his legs went soft, almost collapsing to the ground.

But he knew he absolutely couldn’t give up resisting, or he would be completely crushed by this powerful spiritual force.

Lin Dong quickly deployed the three-color spiritual shield; the black, blue, and yellow spiritual shield instantly formed in front of him, like a sturdy fortress, protecting him within.

The attacks from the spiritual ice elements clashed against the shield, emitting ear-piercing sounds, and sparks flew.

Lin Dong felt immense pressure; his face turned pale as beads of sweat covered his forehead, but the three-color spiritual shield barely managed to withstand this wave of attack.

The ghost beast in Phoenix form, upon seeing Lin Dong defend against its spiritual attack, was evidently surprised.

A hint of astonishment flashed in its icy eyes, probably not expecting Lin Dong, such a "weakling," could fend off its spiritual power attack. It emitted a sharp shriek, echoing in the Ice Well, making Lin Dong’s eardrums ache.

"Master, this Phoenix-formed ghost beast is terrifying. Its spiritual power is truly perverse, making me instinctively fearful." The voice of Artifact Spirit Little Black echoed in Lin Dong’s mind, trembling, clearly awed by this ghost beast’s formidable power.

The Yangxin Sword Artifact Spirit Xiaobai didn’t react like that. As the Artifact Spirit of the sword, it was inherently brave and fearless, never flinching.

Nonetheless, it could sense that this Phoenix-formed ghost beast wasn’t easy to deal with, its voice resonating in Lin Dong’s mind, "Master, this Phoenix-formed ghost beast, you might not be its opponent now."

Lin Dong nodded; upon sensing its spiritual power, he knew this Phoenix-formed ghost beast was not something he could defeat now.

Currently, he was only at the mid-stage of spiritual power of the forty-ninth rank, facing a ghost beast comparable to spiritual power of the fifty-fourth rank, chances of winning were slim.

The gap was too wide!

His limit now could only battle ghost beasts of the fifty-third rank.

As for ghost beasts of the fifty-second rank, Lin Dong indeed had slaughtered them before, but that was under the condition of them being bound by spiritual power chains.

Whereas this ice sculpture Phoenix-formed ghost beast wasn’t bound by spiritual power chains like the ghost beasts inside the Fire Well.

Just imprisoned by the cage!

The battle power they could exert was entirely different.

"Let’s go!" Lin Dong was decisive, despite the huge benefits from slaughtering it, his life was more important, better to retreat first.

No odds of victory, better to retreat quickly and find other Ice Wells.

Lin Dong was about to turn around and leave when the Phoenix-formed ghost beast seemed to sense his intent. It let out another roar, its wings swiped fiercely, sending countless ice blades shooting towards Lin Dong.

These ice blades carried sharp coldness, freezing the air into tiny ice crystals wherever they passed.

Lin Dong was in a panic; he quickly used his movement technique, weaving through the ice blades.

But the ice blades were numerous and incredibly fast; he gradually felt overwhelmed. An ice blade grazed his arm, leaving a deep wound, with fresh blood instantly gushing out, staining his sleeve.

And this was just an external injury, more importantly the attack had damaged his spirit and soul.

His spiritual and soul arm was wounded too, as though frozen.

"Master, be careful!" Xiao Black and Xiao White exclaimed simultaneously.

Lin Dong bit his lip; he knew this couldn’t continue, he had to leave quickly.

He hurriedly displayed the Way of Time cultivation technique, predicting the ice sculpture Phoenix-formed ghost beast’s attacks...

"Swish, swish, swish～～～～" For the next series of attacks, Lin Dong dodged them all by relying on the Way of Time cultivation technique.

While evading the ice blade attacks, he pondered countermeasures.

Suddenly, he thought of a cultivation technique—Sky Demon Phantom Clone.

This Sky Demon Phantom Clone, although the clones were not as strong as the original, could still charm the enemy.

Lin Dong swiftly executed it, splitting into an identical Lin Dong.

Moreover, both Lin Dongs emitted the breath of spirit and soul.

The ice sculpture Phoenix-formed ghost beast was confused by Lin Dong’s Sky Demon No-shadow Clone, unable to distinguish which was the real Lin Dong and which was the clone.

"Now!" Lin Dong and his clone simultaneously flew towards the entrance of the well.

"Boom～～～"

However, the Phoenix-formed ghost beast, after a brief confusion, eventually distinguished Lin Dong’s disguise.

It shot a spiritual ice element, directly hitting Lin Dong’s clone.

Exterminating his clone!

Afterward, it roared angrily again, attacking Lin Dong’s main body.

"Roar～～～～～"

Its mouth actually shot a phoenix phantom, formed by spiritual ice elements.

This phoenix phantom contained terrifying spiritual power of destruction, shooting towards Lin Dong.

Its speed was extremely fast, closing in on Lin Dong in the blink of an eye.

Lin Dong felt a powerful pressure from behind, as though a giant mountain was pressing upon him.

He desperately circulated his inner qi, accelerating towards the Ice Well’s entrance.

"I mustn’t let the phoenix phantom formed by spiritual ice elements hit, or my spirit and soul will be exterminated!" Lin Dong was frantic, his life hanging by a thread.

And that phoenix phantom formed by spiritual ice elements was getting closer, about to close in on Lin Dong...
