Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Even though Lin Dong sliced off the head of the Blood Spirit Snake with a sword, it didn't die.

Life at the level of a Blood Spirit Snake would not end even if beheaded.

Given time, it could regenerate.

However, knowing Lin Dong's power, it chose to flee rather than fight him now.

"Whoosh whoosh~~~"

Its head and body transformed into a stream of light, rushing out of the great hall.

Seeing this, Lin Dong snorted coldly, "Still trying to run?"

At that moment, Lin Dong directly swung his sword!

"Whish!" This sword was a fusion of Wind Sword Intent and Fire Sword Intent, with unparalleled power and incredible speed.

This sword cleaved toward the Blood Spirit Snake's head.

"Boom!"

The terrifying sword intent smashed the head of the Blood Spirit Snake.

Surprisingly, its body was unaffected and still attempted to escape.

The key to the Blood Spirit Snake was its snake pill inside its body, located where the snake gall was!

At this moment, after slashing off the Blood Spirit Snake's head, Lin Dong moved toward its body.

He blocked its path, intending to annihilate it completely.

Winning General, watching Lin Dong display sword intent, could now confirm that the one before him, 'Wei Jiulong', was actually Dong Lin.

"How is this possible? That Dong Lin, actually possesses peak Ninth Stage Grandmaster power?"

He trembled, finally understanding everything.

"So, everything was under his control!"

"He already knew I acknowledged him as a master outside Hidden Dragon Cave, only to feign compliance."

"I thought I was clever, but it was all calculated by him."

Winning General felt despair beyond compare, recognizing that not only was the opponent stronger, but his schemes far exceeded his own.

How can you contend with someone whose martial prowess and wisdom are both superior?

Recalling his previous plot with the Python King, the Ninth Stage Grandmaster from the Fallen God Tribe, and the Ming Family Patriarch, he only felt his face burning painfully.

The supposedly smart actions, were merely within others' calculations.

"Who is he truly? Dong Lin isn't his ultimate identity. He's terrifyingly formidable, far more than my master, countless times more than Qin Feng! Even facing Heavenly Realm Martial Artists shouldn't feel this hopeless?"

In great fear, Winning General knew his fate would be tragic.

He looked up at the sky, seeing the treasured sword held by 'Dong Lin', struck by lightning.

"That... That is the Yangxin Sword! It's actually the Yangxin Sword!"

He recognized the treasure in Lin Dong's hand.

At this moment, as if lightning had struck his mind, questions made sense in the flash of realization.

"He is Master Lin, he is Master Lin..."

"Heavens, Master Lin actually isn't dead."

"Previously, Master Lin possessed the strength of a Ninth Stage Grandmaster. Indeed, I should have thought, who else in this world besides Master Lin can attain Ninth Stage Grandmaster before turning twenty?"

"I should have thought of this!"

"But how can someone who died come back? What is the truth behind all this?"

Winning General felt he'd unearthed the world's greatest secret, overwhelming shock within his heart.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong, intercepting the Blood Spirit Snake's body, began cleaving it.

Each strike sliced off parts of the snake's body.

Yet, it didn't die.

"Only by destroying its snake pill will it truly die. Otherwise, even sliced into ten thousand segments, it won't perish." At this time, the voice of the Sovereign Witch echoed in Lin Dong's mind.

Lin Dong nodded, activating 'Heavenly Eye'; instantly locating the snake pill in the Blood Spirit Snake.

Just as he aimed to cleave the snake gall with his sword, Winning General shouted: "Master, stop! This snake has already devoured nearly a million lives."

"It needs only a few more thousand lives to nurture the snake pill required for crafting the 'Spirit Elixir'."

"Master, you are also an Alchemist; don't you want this snake pill? Don't you want the opportunity to craft that Spirit Elixir someday?"

He attempted to exchange this secret for his life.

Thinking no one could resist the allure of the Spirit Elixir, yet he was mistaken.

Lin Dong merely glanced at him and responded: "Using a million lives to craft a Spirit Elixir for one's longevity, how cruel is that!"

"Even if it could extend life by a thousand years, I wouldn't stoop so low for immortality!"

"To extend lifespan, I will rely solely on breaking the limit of martial artists continually... Never by such life-stealing methods!"

Upon saying this, Lin Dong spoke no more and directly smashed the Blood Spirit Snake's snake pill with a sword!

"Bang!"

The egg-sized snake pill, though immensely sturdy, couldn't withstand Lin Dong's strike.

With a single blow, it was reduced to powder!

Dense Blood Qi spread forth, numerous soul-like shadows drifted between heaven and earth.

Within the great hall, the wooing sound reverberated, like spirits lamenting their grievances.

Lin Dong sighed softly, muttering, "I have the 'Great Sadness Mantra', to help you Souls cross over!"

"Your grievances, I will combat with the sword in my hand for everyone!"

Having said this, he began to sit cross-legged and guide the souls to peace.

Previously, he learned Dharma for some time under Li Nanzhi's guidance, and Li Nanzhi placed a '卐' symbol curse in his palms.

Though his Buddha level was not as high as Li Nanzhi, or the Buddhism Evil Heavenly Song's, he could utilize the 'Great Sadness Mantra' to transcend souls.

He sat cross-legged in the void, radiating Buddhist light, chanting the 'Great Sadness Mantra'.

From the mantra, golden Buddhist texts emerged, purifying the souls here.

Darkness gradually shrouded by Buddha's light, began to dissipate.

All souls were purified by Lin Dong.

Once these were done, Lin Dong descended in front of Winning General.

Winning General trembled, knowing his fate was sealed.

"Lin..." He barely spoke when Lin Dong invoked 'Asura Needle', triggering the pain within Winning General equivalent to Ten Thousand Snakes Devouring Heart.

At this time, Lin Dong had reabsorbed the Yangxin Sword into his body.

Then he told him, "To avoid such pain, obediently do as I say."

"Lead me to the grand Brahman halls!"

Though the headquarters gathered many core members of Brahman, it only housed dozens. All have been slain by Lin Dong.

Those captured here, aside from 'female slaves', have all become food for the Blood Spirit Snake.

Yet Lin Dong knew, Brahman's forces extended far beyond.

Their martial artists numbered in the tens of thousands, mostly at different branches.

Among the captured, many were located at branch locations.

Lin Dong didn't wish to leave any Brahman branch unscathed; thus destroying the headquarters wasn't nearly enough.

Winning General, suffering the torment of Asura Needle, found no solace in death.

Let alone being asked to take Lin Dong to Brahman's branches; even being told to kill his biological parents, he agreed.

He stuttered hastily: "I... I... agree."
