Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2835: Chapter 2834: Water Evil Demon Ape

Above the dense forest, Tian Sha and Lin Dong continued discussing the matter of the Origin Power, while walking side by side at a very fast pace.

After several hours of trekking, the two finally reached the edge of the area deemed as the Forbidden Land by the world.

The sunset glow sprinkled ahead, sketching a shimmering river that flowed quietly, yet seemed to conceal endless secrets and dangers.

"Look, that is the only path leading to the entrance of the prohibition." Tian Sha pointed ahead, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity, "Cross this river, and we can reach the area sealed by ancient powers."

"But the problem is, a four-star peak Demon Emperor resides in the river, with formidable strength, quite extraordinary. Last time, I couldn’t unravel the forbidden array’s secret, so I chose to avoid confrontation and withdrew straight away. But this time, we have no retreat, we must face it."

Lin Dong’s gaze pierced across the river surface, as though penetrating layers of mist, directly facing the unknown Demon Emperor.

"Four-star peak, truly a considerable challenge. But as you said, either a direct confrontation, or a strategic approach. A direct breakthrough means we must be prepared for an open battle with the Demon Emperor; a strategic approach requires finding a gap in its defense, silently crossing the river."

Tian Sha turned to look at Lin Dong, his eyes sparkling with inquiry:

"Brother Lin, do you have any considerations in mind?"

Lin Dong smiled slightly, his smile containing both confidence and a deeper meaning: "I lean towards the former, facing directly."

"Firstly, the Five Elements energy within the Demon Emperor is valuable to us, after absorption, it can further advance our cultivation level. In this world where the strong reign, every bit of strength enhancement is critical."

"Secondly, killing it can also increase our War God Ranking’s count of slaughtered demon beasts. Though we’re already first now, some extra numbers can break higher records."

Of course, there’s another reason why Lin Dong chose to do so.

It’s because of the person next to him, Tian Sha, who is very familiar with Lin Dong, yet Lin Dong isn’t familiar with him at all.

Lin Dong wants to observe Tian Sha’s skills through this battle.

Thus far, Tian Sha’s understanding of him far exceeds Lin Dong’s understanding of Tian Sha, leaving a sense of unease within him.

After all, he hasn’t fully trusted Tian Sha yet.

And through this battle, perhaps he can unveil a corner of Tian Sha’s mysterious veil.

Tian Sha, upon hearing this, nodded resolutely, a flicker of determination in his eyes: "Okay, since Brother Lin has this resolve, I, Tian Sha, will naturally accompany him to the end."

"Though the four-star peak level Demon Emperor is strong, if the two of us join forces, we might not be unable to slaughter it. Furthermore, through this experience, we can not only enhance our strength, but also deepen our understanding of each other, laying a solid foundation for future cooperation."

"After all, I’ve never been to that Forbidden Place before either. Who knows what demon beasts await once inside?"

"If, by then, there are Demon Emperors of five stars or above, then it’s a test for us..."

After deciding to battle the four-star peak Demon Emperor, Lin Dong and Tian Sha quickly entered into combat readiness.

Lin Dong lightly waved his hand, and a long sword, shimmering with a cold light, appeared in his hand— the Yangxin Sword.

This sword is not only extremely sharp but has also been imbued with Lin Dong’s heart’s blood over the years, having developed spiritual wisdom, in harmony with him, as if it’s a part of his body.

Tian Sha, meanwhile, slowly drew a whip from his waist that appeared ordinary yet concealed sharpness.

This whip, named "Shadow," is also a fourth-order spiritual artifact, comparable to the Yangxin Sword, possessing its consciousness and spirituality.

In Tian Sha’s hand, the Shadow Whip seemed like a dormant black dragon, ready to unleash astonishing power at any moment.

Tian Sha took a deep breath, his whole body’s breath suddenly erupted, surging fiercely like a mountain torrent. He opened his eyes wide and shouted:

"Evil beast, come out!"

This shout seemed to contain endless dignity and strength, even causing the surrounding air to quake.

As Tian Sha’s aura dispersed, the river surface began to churn violently, a series of bubbles constantly emerged, as though something was struggling underwater.

Followed by, a gigantic creature abruptly emerged from the water, the four-star peak Demon Emperor.

This Demon Emperor resembles a water monkey, yet larger and more hideous than a water monkey. His whole body covered in coarse black scales, flickering under the sunlight with a dark hue.

A pair of scarlet eyes resembling flames in the abyss emitting endless ferocity and cunning.

Its limbs are long and powerful, with claws growing at the fingertips, seemingly capable of easily tearing through any barrier.

What was most shocking was the tyrannical aura released upon its appearance.

With its emergence, the surrounding air seemed solidified, even the river water halted. Waves of potent demon energy emitted from it, oppressing everything around as if tangible. Every breath it took seemed to cause heaven and earth to echo, invoking reverence in people’s hearts.

At this moment, the four-star peak Demon Emperor completely revealed itself before Lin Dong and Tian Sha, its scarlet eyes fixed intently on them, full of challenge and disdain.

In the tense standoff atmosphere, the sound of the four-star peak Demon Emperor slowly opening its huge toothed mouth, emitting a deafening roar filled the air.

Its name had been fearfully spread throughout this Forbidden Land— Water Evil Demon Ape.

Water Evil Demon Ape, a terrifying existence embodying both the power of water and the bravery of apes, its every appearance accompanied by endless disaster and death.

At this moment, the Water Evil Demon Ape’s gaze was tightly locked on Tian Sha, filled with disdain and provocation.

"I remember your breath,"

It said in a deep and hoarse voice, each word carrying immense weight, inducing chills.

"The last time the Five Elements Land opened, you came here. At that time, you only dared to peek from afar, lacking the courage to approach me. Now, what? Found a helper and think you’re capable of challenging my four-star peak dignity?"

Tian Sha’s expression slightly changed, but quickly reverted to calm.

He knew that the Demon Emperor’s words brimming with provocation and insult were also part of the battle, a way for the Demon Emperor to test and weaken the opponent’s will.

He couldn’t let himself be influenced by these words, otherwise, he would lose the advantage in this life-and-death duel.

Lin Dong stood beside Tian Sha, his gaze equally sharp, staring at the Water Evil Demon Ape. He could sense this Demon Emperor’s strength was indeed extraordinary, yet he wasn’t afraid.

Instead, he felt an unprecedented excitement. He believed that as long as they joined forces, they could surely defeat this mighty Demon Emperor.

The Water Evil Demon Ape noticed neither Tian Sha nor Lin Dong had any intention of backing down, a flicker of surprise in its eyes quickly replaced by a more intense killing intent.

It knew the battle was inevitable.

"Found a Second Heavenly Realm Martial Artist as a helper, do you dare to provoke me? Since this is the case, today, you’re destined to pay the price for your ignorance!"

"As I haven’t fed for a long time, today, I’ll take you, as a feast!"
