Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain - Chapter 2824 - 2823: They’re All Frightened!

Chapter 2824: Chapter 2823: They’re All Frightened!

At the moment, the entire battlefield was filled with the Sword Intent emanating from Lin Dong.

And Lin Dong’s gaze, sharp as a blade, slowly moved between Gale Queen, Golden Buddha Kuerzan, and Dragon Knight Vincent and Lei. Each pause seemed a proclamation of fate.

First, Lin Dong’s gaze landed on Gale Queen. Known for her speed and archery, at this moment, she appeared as if tightly watched by an invisible Death God, her entire body involuntarily trembling.

Her eyes were filled with horror, a fear more profound than facing thousands of soldiers.

Gale Queen promptly retreated a few steps, each step seeming exceedingly heavy, as if the ground beneath her feet had suddenly become soft and powerless.

She understood deeply that should Lin Dong’s sword strike, even she would find it hard to resist.

This feeling of tension and fear was more intense than when she killed for the first time, a powerlessness in confronting death directly.

However, Lin Dong’s gaze lingered on her for just a moment before sliding away like water, moving to Kuerzan.

Kuerzan was stunned, then quickly clasped his hands together, muttering, “Amitabha, heaven has a virtue of cherishing life, Benefactor, do not commit murder.”

His voice held a trace of tremble, but more a plea and fear.

Though throughout his life, he had committed countless murders, at this moment, he only wished to use this Buddhist chant to implore Lin Dong’s forgiveness, hoping the sword wouldn’t aim at him.

Yet Lin Dong’s gaze merely swept over him and once again moved away.

Next, Lin Dong’s gaze fell onto Dragon Knight Vincent.

Vincent felt a chill surge up his spine, causing even the Flood Dragon beneath him to tremble intensely.

The Flood Dragon’s eyes were filled with fear, as if able to sense the destructive power emanating from Lin Dong.

Vincent gripped the hilt tightly, his hands slightly trembling from tension, struggling to maintain composure while inner fear surged like a tide.

Yet Lin Dong’s gaze only paused briefly on him before continuing to seek the next target.

Finally, Lin Dong’s gaze landed on Lei.

At that moment, Lei’s complexion turned extremely pale, as if seeing the end of his life.

His eyes were filled with despair and fear. Lei

knew deeply he might be Lin Dong’s ultimate target for this sword.

He attempted to use rationality to analyze, to judge how to defend.

But inner fear swallowed his thoughts like a black hole, rendering him incapable of any effective reaction.

Because the Sword Momentum of that one sword was too strong. Even if he used his strongest defensive skills, it would be futile—like an ant trying to block a chariot.

On this battlefield under the dominion of Sword Intent, Lin Dong’s gaze was akin to a Sword of Judgement, making everyone present feel unprecedented fear and despair.

Yet Lin Dong’s ultimate choice, like a faint beam of light amidst mist, remained elusive.

And this unwithdrawn sword seemed even more threatening.

As if intensifying their fears.

Because none of the four could discern whose turn it would be for this sword strike.

Indeed, the greatest fear stems from the unknown.

And this probabilistic unknown made it more terrifying.

On this battlefield shrouded in tension and fear, Lin Dong’s hesitation was like the calm before a silent storm.

Putting the four present—Gale Queen, Golden Buddha Kuerzan, Dragon Knight Vincent, and Lei—on edge.

The air seemed to solidify, every second carrying endless oppressive tension.

“Lei, your end has come.” Lin Dong’s voice finally rang out, deep and powerful like a judgment from an ancient Death God, directly and precisely piercing Lei’s heart.

This statement, like a heavy hammer, shattered the last dash of luck and hope in Lei’s heart.

Lei’s body jerked violently, like a leaf pierced by a chill wind, helpless and fragile.

He summoned without hesitation his strongest Defensive Magic Treasure, a shield flickering with dark light, covered with complex runes and interwoven with Thunder.

While summoning his defense, Lei’s gaze quickly swept over the other three, his voice tinged with urgency and plea:

“You three, lend me strength, help me withstand this sword!”

Even having summoned his strongest defense, he had no confidence at all.

His tone was filled with helplessness and despair, seemingly placing his last hope on these temporary allies.

However, his plea met only cold silence.

Dragon Knight Vincent first spoke, his voice carrying a hint of amusement and indifference: “Lei, didn’t you say he’s just bluffing? Well, go ahead, verify if he really is bluffing.”

Vincent’s words clearly showed schadenfreude; he did not intend to risk helping Lei, for nobody wanted to be the second victim of that deadly sword.

Although Gale Queen and Golden Buddha Kuerzan said nothing, their stance was manifestly expressed through their eyes.

They each stepped back a few steps, maintaining a distance from Lei, silently declaring: in this game of life and death, they preferred to be spectators rather than participants.

Seeing this, Lei’s heart turned cold.

He realized the retreat of the three was not due to personal dislike but a safeguard of their own safety.

After all, given Lin Dong’s displayed strength, the force of that sword, even if the three joined forces, might not easily withstand.

More important, they saw that such a powerful sword, Lin Dong would likely struggle to wield continuously.

This meant if that sword targeted Lei, only he would get hurt or die, while the remaining three could claim the spoils of victory once the battle concluded.

On the edge between life and death, human selfishness and indifference featured prominently.

Though allies temporarily, under absolute interests, such alliances were fragile as thin ice, shattering on touch.

They obviously wouldn’t risk their lives for Lei!

Lei could only helplessly stare ahead, alone facing the impending Death God judgment, his heart filled with unwillingness and despair.

“You must be bluffing! This sword is merely flashy; if I block it, Lin Dong, you’re finished!”

Lei ultimately let out a cry.

However, Lin Dong’s expression remained ever composed.

Seeing Lei frightened into ’nonsensical babbling,’ he smiled faintly and said:

“Then let me show you if I really am bluffing!”

As these words fell, Lin Dong’s sword finally descended.

“Sword Two!!!”

This is Lin Dong’s strongest trump card now.

With this sword, he previously slew members of the Dark Family, the first tier under Secondary Ancestors, Macaron, and the Blood Clan’s Xue Chen.

Even though at that time, they were at the end of their ropes, in an extremely weakened state.

But ’Sword Two’ slaughtered them both in an instant!

And this time, Lin Dong’s ’Sword Two,’ targeted only one person, that being Lei!
