Chapter 955 - 953: Divine Dog
At this moment, he directly threw the wooden stick in his hand.
"Whoosh"
In that instant, the Divine Dog disappeared.
Chen Tianlong furrowed his brow, absolutely not believing that the Divine Dog had run away, because at this moment, he could still feel strong Qi waves.
"Boom..."
Just as Chen Tianlong was preparing to observe his surroundings, suddenly a figure flew out in the air, moving so fast that even though Chen Tianlong had Flying Shoes, he couldn’t evade the Divine Dog’s attack.
Chen Tianlong was sent flying seven or eight meters away, landing heavily in the snow.
"Chen Tianlong..."
"Chen Tianlong."
The two girls saw Chen Tianlong knocked away and hurried over, but as soon as they reached him, they saw Chen Tianlong spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, clutching his chest in pain, and his complexion turning pale.
Clearly, he had suffered severe injuries.
After landing, Chen Tianlong no longer paid attention to the Divine Dog, but immediately activated the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique. Faced with such a formidable enemy, he had no other options but to rely on survival to buy time.
"Xiaoyu, Shen Yan, don’t stray too far from me, I fear later I won’t have the ability to protect you."
Chen Tianlong felt worried; first it was Lin Wushuang who disappeared without a trace, and he was very concerned, fearing that in the next moment, Lu Xiaoyu and Shen Yan might also vanish like that.
He couldn’t bear any more pain; he feared he would break down, so even if it meant using his last breath, he wanted to see them unharmed and alive.
"Chen Tianlong...boo hoo..."
Lu Xiaoyu saw Chen Tianlong with blood all over his mouth and became scared and worried, tears streaming down her face as she cried.
Although Shen Yan was strong, she felt heartbroken to the point of struggling to breathe, watching Chen Tianlong being ravaged by the Divine Dog, unable to help, and hating herself for it.
"Awoo..."
Just as the two approached Chen Tianlong, the Divine Dog sprinted over again, looking to seize the opportunity to eliminate Chen Tianlong.
It must be said, this spirit beast Divine Dog was indeed very clever, knowing to strike while the iron is hot. Originally, Chen Tianlong thought that being a dog, it wouldn’t go for the kill after injuring its opponent, yet he didn’t anticipate that the creature would be more intelligent than humans, realizing Chen Tianlong was nearly unable to hold on and taking advantage to strike.
"Xiaoyu, Shen Yan, dodge quickly."
Seeing the situation, Chen Tianlong realized the Divine Dog had gone mad, completely disregarding the two girls in front, charging straight ahead.
The speed was incredibly fierce, and the two girls were definitely unable to evade, so with all his might, Chen Tianlong threw three silver needles from his right hand, each imbued with Powerful Qi.
Then he flipped over, pinning the two girls beneath him.
But by doing so, Chen Tianlong’s back suffered. At this moment, Chen Tianlong only felt a sharp pain in his back, apparently injured by the Spirit Beast Dog’s shockwave, making it feel burning hot.
"Pfft..."
Chen Tianlong spat out another mouthful of blood, nearly hitting Lu Xiaoyu, thankfully he deliberately tilted his body slightly to the right.
The Divine Dog was startled by the sudden appearance of the three silver needles; their power was indeed formidable, causing a sharp pain across its body. If not for its deep reserves of energy, it surely would have been pierced by the three needles.
However, the three needles caused no substantial harm—just some superficial injuries.
"Chen Tianlong, are you alright?" Shen Yan pushed Chen Tianlong away forcefully, feeling faint due to the extreme cold.
As for Chen Tianlong, he was now practically powerless, as some meridians had been blasted by the Spirit Beast Dog’s Qi, necessitating Qi cultivation for healing. Therefore, he simply collapsed to the ground, motionless, hoping perhaps the Divine Dog would give up on him.
However, Chen Tianlong was wrong. The Divine Dog judged life and death not by appearances but by smell. Its nose is exceedingly acute, able to gauge the opponent’s breath.
Since Chen Tianlong’s Qi wave still existed, it indicated Chen Tianlong wasn’t dead yet and still had combat ability.
After pausing for thirty seconds, the Divine Dog roared and charged directly.
Lu Xiaoyu’s eyes widened; she couldn’t believe this damned wolfhound wouldn’t relent even when her Tianlong was so heavily wounded.
She could only watch helplessly as it swooped down.
Chen Tianlong felt very aggrieved as well; he could hardly move his body, even if he could, he wouldn’t be able to dodge, so he focused all his remaining Qi on defense.
Nevertheless, against such a fierce attack by this Celestial Dao one-star Spirit Beast, he figured that after this hit, he might be sharing a cup of tea with King Yama.
"Ah, after fighting so hard, I never thought I’d meet my end at the paws of a dog." Chen Tianlong muttered to himself, closing his eyes.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, Shen Yan launched herself from the snow, clashing directly with the Divine Dog using her shoulder.
And the Divine Dog seemed caught off guard by someone foolish enough to use her ordinary body to withstand its Celestial Dao one-star attack.
Chen Tianlong’s eyes widened, and Lu Xiaoyu was even more astonished.
The Divine Dog was actually knocked flying by Shen Yan; what was happening here?
Landing, Shen Yan stood up, pink vapor emanating from her body, and her vacant eyes appeared possessed, quite eerie.
"Pink Qi?"
Chen Tianlong suddenly recalled someone’s description of Qi levels, where Pink Qi was supposed to be possessed only by those with strength beyond Celestial Dao, how could Shen Yan have it now—truly unbelievable.
"Thud!"
The Divine Dog dropped directly to the ground, having sensed Shen Yan’s powerful strength, including an intangible sense of subjugation within it.
"Divine Dog, obey me, I am the Primordial Spirit of the Thunder Element Inheritor; henceforth, heed my orders, should you defy, your dog’s life will be at stake." Shen Yan uttered these shocking words.
"Woof woof.." The Divine Dog instantly reverted to its original form, becoming a cute little yellow dog.
"..." Chen Tianlong was speechless for a moment, realizing Shen Yan turned out to be a Thunder Element Inheritor, akin to Jiang Yufan, not something he’d have expected. Right now, Chen Tianlong was pondering if the people appearing around him were all entwined with some imminent significant event.
Since Fang Zun disclosed his true identity, he felt everyone around had changed, each becoming increasingly important. Originally, he thought they were ordinary people, but since the appearance of Liu Ting the Wood Element Inheritor, Wu Mengting’s Sponge Physique, etc., Chen Tianlong began to reevaluate this group of girls.
Perhaps it was a deliberate arrangement by heaven, or perhaps someone had long set a trap, bringing them together.
If that’s the case, just how terrifying must that person be!
Yet, just a few seconds after the Divine Dog was subdued, Shen Yan collapsed to the ground, evidently returning to normal. Chen Tianlong rushed over, holding Shen Yan in his arms, preparing to infuse her with Qi.
At this point, however, the Divine Dog suddenly approached and clawed at Shen Yan’s calf, seemingly about to perform some kind of gesture.
"Divine Dog, she is your master, show some respect." Chen Tianlong worried whether this Divine Dog might renege and attack them in a fit of madness, leading to disaster.
