Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2699: Chapter 2698: Returning Once More!

”Hmph, if you want the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, let’s see if you have the skill for it.” Lin Dong’s tone was full of challenge and disdain, his gaze steadfast and cold, as if readying for the impending battle.

Standing opposite him is the Shadow Sovereign clad in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadow of the hood, revealing only a pair of glowing eyes.

Upon hearing Lin Dong’s words, the Shadow Sovereign chuckled lightly, saying, ”So, in front of a sub-ancestor-level powerhouse, do you think you can escape? Who gave you the courage to speak to me in this tone? Was it reliance on the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique?”

Lin Dong smiled faintly, showing not a trace of fear on his face: ”Now that you know I’ve acquired the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, do you think you can still kill me today?”

The Shadow Sovereign heard these words and laughed hysterically, a hint of sarcasm in his voice: ”Hahaha... Kid, although I haven’t seen the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, I know the difficulty of learning it. Even the most gifted Earth Dragon would take years to learn it. You, in just a few days, can’t possibly have mastered the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique.”

Before the Shadow Sovereign finished speaking, Lin Dong’s figure suddenly blurred.

He was inwardly shocked and just about to react, but it was already too late. Lin Dong’s figure seemed to merge with the Earth and bizarrely disappeared, escaping into the underground.

”This...” The Shadow Sovereign stared wide-eyed in amazement, utterly unprepared for Lin Dong’s mastery of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, and his skillful execution of it.

While the Shadow Sovereign was in a daze, a violent tremor suddenly emanated from the underground.

Followed by countless Earth-yellow giant dragons rushing out from below, roaring and tumbling, they attacked the Shadow Sovereign. These dragons were condensed from Earth Power, and while not true Earth Dragons, their might was undeniable.

Seeing this, the Shadow Sovereign quickly deployed his own Shadow Power, transforming into a black whirlwind to combat the Earth-yellow dragons.

However, these dragons seemed endless; whenever he destroyed a batch, new dragons emerged from the depths.

He wanted to take action to catch Lin Dong, but found he couldn’t pursue him at all.

”Abhorrent!” The Shadow Sovereign roared in anger, discovering that even his Shadow Power couldn’t trap Lin Dong.

He realized that if this continued, Lin Dong would undoubtedly escape scot-free.

Just then, Lin Dong’s voice echoed from the underground, with a hint of teasing: ”Shadow Sovereign, weren’t you so confident? Why can’t you catch me now?”

In the deep and dark underground, rocks and soil seemed torn apart by an invisible force, transforming into freely traversable space.

Lin Dong’s figure became transparent, adeptly navigating the hidden passages, surrounded by a pale Earth-yellow glow. It was the Earthwalking Power bestowed by the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, allowing him to thrive effortlessly and omnipresently in the world below.

”Shadow Sovereign, your rage will only make you more blind.” Lin Dong’s voice echoed in the beneath earth, tinged with trace amusement and provocation, as if enjoying this game of cat and mouse.

His voice, though light, clearly pierced the Shadow Sovereign’s ears, like sharp blades cutting at the latter’s already tense nerves.

The Shadow Sovereign’s expression turned so dark water might drip; as a sub-ancestor-level powerhouse, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

Every provocation from Lin Dong ignited a fire in his heart, causing his rage to burn furiously, nearly consuming all rationale.

”Kid, do you think you can escape my grasp this way? Too naive!” The Shadow Sovereign roared, black Qi curling around him, a peak display of his Shadow Power.

He too deployed a secret technique, accelerating abruptly, like a ghost in the night, tailing the Qi trace Lin Dong left behind, vowing to shatter the impudent rookie into ten thousand pieces.

Yet, the power of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique exceeded the Shadow Sovereign’s imagination.

Lin Dong seemed to transform into an Earth-yellow stream of light underground, perfectly utilizing terrain advantages with every turn and acceleration, leaving the Shadow Sovereign far behind, while maintaining a subtle distance that neither dispelled hope nor allowed easy reach.

Hundreds of kilometers seemed to become an endless maze in their pursuit.

Lin Dong occasionally appeared in a narrow crevice or leaped up a protruding rock, each appearance accompanied by taunts and challenges toward the Shadow Sovereign, as if declaring: ”You’ll never catch me.”

The Shadow Sovereign felt unprecedented defeat.

He realized that despite his strength, he was far inferior to Lin Dong’s speed in the unique environment of the underground.

Lin Dong’s mastery of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique had reached an exceptionally advanced stage, leaving him incredulous.

”How is it possible, in just a few days, he mastered the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique to this extent? What heaven-defying talent is this?” The Shadow Sovereign’s expression was exceedingly ugly.

Finally, after repeated futile attempts, the Shadow Sovereign halted, panting, eyes filled with both resentment and helplessness. ”Lin Dong, you’re indeed cunning. But remember, once you’re in my grasp, I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death!”

His voice resonated underground, carrying a hint of determination and ruthlessness.

Lin Dong heard this, curling his lips into a faint smile, aware that this battle, though not directly engaging, he had won in his own way.

Yet this was obviously not enough.

Then, he unleashed the second layer of the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, his figure becoming like a giant dragon hidden in the earth, instantly diving deeper underground.

His lips held a mysterious smile, as if everything was within control, and his Qi and figure vanished from the original location, blending into the ancient land, leaving no trace.

The Shadow Princess, a sub-ancestor-level being renowned for speed, couldn’t help but grit his teeth tightly, continuing the chase over the moonlit silver-white land.

However, no matter how much he accelerated, or how keenly he sensed his surroundings, Lin Dong’s Qi seemed as though it never existed, completely vanishing into the night.

”Damn, he got away.” The Shadow Princess stopped in his tracks, fists clenched tightly, nails nearly embedded in his palms, unable to quell the inner fury and reluctance.

Yet this anger hadn’t fully erupted, before long interrupted by a distress talisman transmission.

”Lord Sovereign, please save me! Lin Dong is back; he’s going to kill me!” The voice, fraught with panic and despair, was the plea from Little Monarch Red Dragon.

This sudden turn of events made the Shadow Princess’s face instantly iron-blue, his eyes flaring with intense rage.

”Lin Dong, how dare you!” The Shadow Princess roared, his figure surging up again, like a specter in the night, swiftly darting toward Little Monarch Red Dragon’s direction.
