Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2636: Chapter 2635: Obtaining Another Bright Pearl!

Lin Dong looked at Aidan and was left speechless.

A lofty Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, afraid of death to this extent?

This was completely throwing away all dignity.

But on second thought, in the face of death, all beings are equal. Even Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, there are many who fear death.

At the moment, Lin Dong faced Aidan’s pleading with an indifferent expression, and slowly said, "Aidan, your promise is worthless to me."

His words carried no emotion, yet they were as cold as ice, piercing Aidan’s heart, making it sink to the bottom of despair.

However, soon he changed his tone and said, "It’s not impossible for me to save your life, but you have to exchange something for it."

Hearing this, Aidan’s face stiffened, then he furiously shouted, "Lin Dong, you’re taking advantage of a crisis! You’re our team leader, yet you want benefits to save a teammate?"

His voice was full of anger, trying to morally coerce Lin Dong.

However, Lin Dong just lightly shook his head and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Okay, then I won’t save you. Prepare for your end, find a flat place to lie down and die." After speaking, he turned to leave without a hint of hesitation.

A wave of unprecedented fear surged within Aidan upon seeing this.

The shadow of death rushed at him like a giant wave, forcing him to reevaluate the situation.

The instinct to survive quickly calmed him down, and he hastily changed his tone, "Lin Dong, I was wrong, I was wrong, it indeed makes sense to ask for something in exchange for saving my life. Makes sense, really."

There was a tone of compromise and helplessness in his voice.

Lin Dong stopped, turned around, and gazed at Aidan with sharp eyes, slowly saying, "Okay, I am very interested in your Bright Clan’s Bright Pearl. If you give it to me, I will save you."

This statement was like a thunderbolt, exploding in Aidan’s heart.

The Bright Pearl, something he regarded as a supreme treasure, was the key to his cultivation level breakthrough.

However, at this moment, he had no choice. "I don’t have the Bright Pearl," Aidan tried to make a last struggle.

But Lin Dong just smiled slightly, with a confidence that seemed to see through everything, "Yet I sense there’s a Bright Pearl on you."

His tone was indisputable, as if he had already seen through all of Aidan’s disguises.

Aidan’s expression instantly turned extremely complex, pain, struggle, unwillingness... all sorts of emotions intertwined.

He knew well that if he didn’t hand over the Bright Pearl, he would surely die here.

But if he handed it over, how would he face the family’s heavy trust and his own future?

However, in this life and death moment, Aidan ultimately chose to compromise.

"Alright, I’ll give it to you, you save me." His voice was low and determined, revealing a kind of resoluteness.

For him now, surviving was evidently the most important.

Despite his reluctance, he still took out the Bright Pearl.

Then, he handed it to Lin Dong.

This Bright Pearl, Lin Dong had obtained one from the Holy Light Lord before, through absorbing and refining it, he realized the Light Sword Intent.

At the moment, Lin Dong stood in front of Aidan, tightly holding the Bright Pearl emitting a gentle glow, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

While Aidan, his face pale, stared complexly at his right arm where a faint ominous dark green loomed, a mark left by the Dragon Saliva Poison King.

"The transaction is complete, now, I will fulfill my promise." Lin Dong’s voice was steady and firm, as he slowly took out an ordinary Acupuncture Bag from his bosom, and gently opened it, revealing nine silver needles of varying lengths and colors, shimmering with a strange luster in the moonlight.

Lin Dong’s gaze became focused and profound, as he took a deep breath, as if performing a sacred ritual.

Subsequently, the silver needles in his hand moved as if they had a life of their own, deftly leaping between the acupoints all over Aidan’s body, each landing accurately, stirring slight fluctuations of Qi.

With Lin Dong’s acupuncture, the previously turbulent Dragon Saliva Poison King in Aidan’s body seemed to be guided by an invisible force, gradually converging on his right arm.

"Now, the poison has gathered in this arm, if you want to completely remove it, you must make a sacrifice." Lin Dong stopped his actions and directly met Aidan’s gaze, speaking with indisputable decisiveness, "You cut it yourself. After it’s cut, the Dragon Saliva Poison Kings will also leave your body."

Upon hearing this, Aidan’s face turned iron blue, staring incredulously at Lin Dong, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world: "Lin Dong, I gave you the Bright Pearl! You actually want me to cut off my own arm?"

Anger, unwillingness, despair, a myriad of emotions intertwined on his face, distorting his features.

Lin Dong just chuckled lightly, a smile that held both the anticipated reaction of Aidan and a hint of the impermanence of life: "The Bright Pearl was in exchange for me to save you, haven’t I saved you now?"

His words were simple and direct, yet like a heavy hammer, shattering Aidan’s last illusion.

At this moment, the nearby Little Monarch Red Dragon spoke suddenly, his dignified voice carrying a touch of persuasion: "Aidan, surviving is the most important thing. It’s just an arm, for a martial artist, losing one is not frightening, what is frightening is losing life; living is having everything! Moreover, with your cultivation level, in the future, you may have the opportunity to rebuild your body, even greater than before."

Red Dragon’s words were like a spring breeze and rain, gradually calming the anger and unwillingness in Aidan’s heart.

He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, seemingly making his final struggle and decision.

Finally, he slowly opened his eyes, which were shining with a resolute light, drawing out a long sword from his waist, and without hesitation swung it towards his right arm.

A "crack" sound, accompanied by intense pain, his right arm fell with the sword’s stroke, blood gushed out like a fountain.

Meanwhile, the Dragon Saliva Poison Kings residing in his body seemed to lose their support, turning into black smoke and dissipating into the night from the severed arm.

Seeing this, Lin Dong immediately stepped forward, using the prepared herbs to stop the bleeding and heal Aidan.

As for Aidan, he bit down hard, enduring the intense pain, while his eyes flickered with both a craving for life and hatred towards Lin Dong.

"Lin Dong, you made me lose an arm and deceived my Bright Pearl, this enmity, I will remember. Once I obtain the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, the first one I will kill is you!"

He blamed the loss of his arm entirely on Lin Dong and regarded the transaction of the Bright Pearl to Lin Dong as Lin Dong having ’cheated’ him.

This grudge, he deeply etched in his heart.

What he was thinking, Lin Dong did not know.

At the moment, Lin Dong looked towards the newly appeared passage in the Great Hall, saying, "There’s no treasure in this Great Hall, we need to continue forward."

"But before moving forward, I have to do something first."

He intended to refine the Bright Pearl he just obtained.

Planning to use it to break through to the second layer of Light Sword Intent!
