Chapter 48: I Know You’re Anxious, But Calm Down First!

One hit!

Two hits!

Three hits!

Ming grabbed the dog’s head and smashed it against the ground repeatedly.

A small pit had formed beneath the dog’s head, with pebbles scattering everywhere.

Little Night and the man who called himself Dead Dog stared blankly at the little boy.

Dead Dog couldn’t have imagined that this frail-looking little boy would become the biggest variable in his plan.

[You defeated a dog (initially sentient, consumed berserk pill) Blood Qi +5, Strength +5, Combat Experience +5.]

Little Night was tangled up with another dog on the other side. Ming was riding atop another muscular dead dog, while Zhu Cici stood dumbfounded on the side.

The muscular dog lunged toward Zhu Cici.

The first form of Heaven Opening Fist — Drumming!

The Heaven Opening Fist has five forms total.

Dead Dog tried to dodge the attacks; if he couldn’t, he would encase himself in flames and tough it out.

“Go!”

“Wasting the Void-Breaking Pearl! The target isn’t even dead! How will you explain yourself?” The one-legged firebird stood on Dead Dog’s head, refusing to get off, continuously pecking at Dead Dog’s back.

“Mr. Xiao is too polite, but let’s reschedule for another day.” Dead Dog didn’t even turn his head as he desperately fled towards the outskirts of Wudu.

As Dead Dog kept flying forward, he transformed into his true form.

Moreover, other martial artists and cultivators from the Wu Kingdom rushed to deliver their blows.

[Blood Qi Berserk (Primary) Experience — 0.5%]

Wei quickly prostrated himself, heavily knocking his head on the ground: “Yes.”

Ming’s body went limp as he collapsed onto the dead dog beneath him.

Dead Dog could only cover his head with both paws, looking utterly wronged.

A golden Fortune Long Dragon hovered above the city rooftops, swallowing the fiery rain.

“Boom!”

Human and canine blood were indistinguishable.

The dark clouds above Wudu gradually dispersed, as if nothing had happened.

The muscular dog leapt through the air with fangs bared, aiming for Zhu Cici’s neck, when Ming suddenly dashed in front of her.

A blue bead shattered, breaking the void as the one-legged firebird grabbed Dead Dog and hastily escaped into the void.

At least, Ming had already mastered the first form thoroughly.

Ming’s fists cracked open, spilling blood, while the dog’s face exploded, splattering Ming’s fists.

With three dogs killed, the protective barrier outside was weakening. Several cultivators from the Wu Kingdom had arrived, and the middle-aged man knew it was futile and abandoned his efforts.

The void entrance closed rapidly.

[Defeating beast that consumed berserk pills, defeating beasts with rage abilities can upgrade Blood Qi Berserk.]

The muscular dog lay motionless on the ground, its breathing completely gone.

Blood Qi Berserk.

The middle-aged man stood not far from Little Night.

The last string of words disappeared from his mind just as the Blood Qi Berserk reached its time limit.

A woman’s voice echoed across the sky.

Ming gripped the hammer in both hands and delivered a final heavy blow to the muscular dog’s head.

Each time Ming’s fist struck, it was accompanied by the sound of drums and the cracking of dog skulls.

Houdou opened its mouth and spat out Black Flame, piercing a hole through the rain curtain. Taking advantage of the closing rain curtain, Houdou passed through.

Then, a one-legged firebird soared into the sky, trailing behind it streams of fiery rain.

Dead Dog’s entire body was pitch black, covered in red magma patterns, as if filled with molten lava within. Moreover, its tail split into hundreds of forks.

“Awooo!”

It was more like the eighth gate of the Eight Gates Trigram Technique had been activated.

“You might as well be a dead dog! Wasting a Reality-Breaking Pearl, just wait for the Chancellor to punish you!”

“With evening showers over the river, autumn is washed clean.” A line of poetry was recited by Mochi.

Tens of thousands of miles away, high above a barren mountain, a rift appeared.

[Blood Qi Berserk (Primary): Activate the body’s blood qi within ten seconds. After ten seconds, you will enter a weakened state.]

Little Night took a step forward, transforming into butterfly shadows, slicing through the muscular dog’s body again and again, focusing solely on the dog before him.

The Dharma Heaven and Earth Technique formed from the gathering black clouds protected Dead Dog from behind.

At the moment the barrier shattered, Dead Dog fled toward the outskirts of Wudu.

After exchanging several blows, Dead Dog spat out blood.

General Mo of the Great National Pillar also arrived, delivering a punch with mountain-like force.

Each form of the Heaven Opening Fist requires different levels of mastery in martial arts and understanding of boxing techniques.

[In the southern wastelands, there are people who eat fire coals and fire-eating beasts known as Houdou.]

“Alas, why am I always so unlucky?”

At this point, the positions of the few individuals formed a triangle.

But who would have thought?

“Our Wudu, do you think you can come and go as you please?”

Despite being greatly shocked, Little Night knew this was his best opportunity.

Dead Dog saw a flash of red knock his dog down from the side, followed once again by those relentless punches smashing into the muscular dog’s head.

Emperor Wu furrowed his brows and waved his hand.

His eyes turned blood red, becoming a ten-second real man.

In the heavens above, a rift appeared, with a water curtain descending to block Dead Dog’s escape route.

With Ming’s final punch and Little Night’s final slash, the remaining two dogs met their end.

Although Ming deeply shocked the middle-aged man, seeing Ming panting heavily, Dead Dog knew he was no longer able to protect Zhu Cici.

“You piece of dead dog! You piece of dead dog!”

“Don’t scold anymore, don’t scold anymore. I know you’re anxious, but calm down first,” Dead Dog complained, “I’m not without gains either.”

The one-legged firebird made a sarcastic remark, grabbing Dead Dog’s body with its claw and then spitting.

“Such a waste”

When Ming was lost in thought due to the text in his mind, Dead Dog commanded another dog.

The bird and the dog tumbled out of the void entrance, falling onto the mountain top.

“Since you’ve come, why not stay a little longer? Have a cup of tea. Leaving in such a hurry makes our Wu Kingdom seem very unwelcoming,” Mochi’s divine sound echoed.

[You defeated a dog (initially sentient, consumed berserk pill), Blood Qi +5, Strength +5, Combat Experience +5, obtained skill — Blood Qi Berserk (Primary).]

Under the enhancement of Blood Qi Berserk, Ming felt his blood boiling, all pain and weakness vanishing.

“The Ten Thousand Beasts Kingdom!” Emperor Wu clenched his fists tightly, his expression extremely grim. “Wei Xun! Draft an edict, make that dog Li Nan give me an explanation!”

The one-legged firebird couldn’t help but get angry, jumping up from the ground onto Dead Dog’s head, then jumping down again. This repeated over a dozen times.

Otherwise, I’d really turn into a dead dog myself.

Dead Dog stomped his foot.

“If you don’t help me soon, I’ll die for real!” Dead Dog shouted toward another place in the distance.

“What did you gain?” The one-legged firebird was furious.

Dead Dog chuckled: “I discovered someone even more deserving of death than the one born with Literary Courage.”
