nA dog?

nFurthermore, it was an akita with green fur.

nXu Jian had recognized the breed of the dog in front of him almost at first glance. He found it strange, though, that an akita would actually have spiritual sense.

nAkitas were not on the list of typical spirit dogs.

nXu Jian thus quickly deduced — this dog was definitely not a purebred! And it obviously wasn’t a normal dog, since it had green fur!

nStaring at the dog in front of him, Xu Jian lightly brushed his bangs aside.

nXu Jian, who was the third of the Three Young Masters of Burying Love, and number seventeen on the international list of killers, absolutely wouldn’t be distracted because of a mongrel spirit dog.

nIt was just a mongrel spirit dog. How strong could it be?

nIf he just intimidated it a little, wouldn’t he scare the ** out of it?

nXu Jian thus slowly released his spiritual pressure.

nAn invisible power fell from the sky to bombard Loopy Toad!

nHowever, things happened far out of Xu Jian’s expectations.

nHe was sure that under normal circumstances, his spiritual pressure was potent enough to crush pork into dried pork slices.

nHowever, it unexpectedly had no effect whatsoever on this dog.

nFurthermore, instead of being scared away, it unleashed its aura in a stand-off against him.

nXu Jian responded very quickly. It wasn’t a coincidence that this dog had appeared here, it was a watchdog that someone in the school had put here to guard the garden!

nThey had actually arranged for such a mongrel spirit dog to guard the garden?

nXu Jian felt that the whole of Shadow Stream was seriously being looked down upon.

nWhat kind of attitude did this mediocre high school have, in the face of a challenge from a world-class killer organization?

nVery well…

nFacing this unexpected dog, Xu Jian heaved a deep sigh. As a first-class Shadow Stream Red Ribbon killer, he would make this group of people who had underestimated Shadow Stream pay the price.

nThere was nothing more to be said; in the next moment, a piercing cold light streaked through the air!

n— Yet another flying knife!

nTo a regular person, this knife would be flying at lightning speed, but in Loopy Toad’s eyes, it was very, very slow. Before becoming a dog, any fly it caught in the Gate Between Worlds had been far faster than this flying knife. Despite being a dog, it still kept the perfect, dynamic vision of a toad.

nThis person wanted to kill it with a lousy knife? How childish!

nLoopy Toad only turned its head slightly, and the knife whistled over its fur to firmly embed itself into a stone pillar behind it. So tremendous was the power used that the knife was buried to the hilt.

nXu Jian had never imagined that a mongrel spirit dog could have such a quick reaction. While he was feeling surprised, the dog suddenly became an afterimage, and like thunder on the plains, it swiftly and aggressively pounced on him! — It had been so fast that he hadn’t been able to catch its movements!

n“— Go to hell!” He quickly pulled out a dagger and slashed at the flowing light which had rushed at him.

nCrack ! There was the ringing sound of something breaking.

nThen he realized that the dog had bitten down on the dagger and f**king broken it!

nFurthermore, the dog unrestrainedly chewed the fragments down to nothing right in front of him.

nXu Jian couldn’t help swearing. “…F**k!” The dog’s teeth seemed ten thousand times sharper than those of any assassin spirit dog specially trained by Shadow Stream. Were its f**king teeth made of titanium?

nIn that moment, Xu Jian’s face darkened as he faced a mongrel spirit dog that should have been very easy to deal with. He had carried out a lot of difficult missions before, but had never imagined that the biggest opponent that he would ever encounter in his life… would actually be a dog?

nAssessing its strength, Xu Jian was shocked again. “…This school actually has a mongrel watchdog at the late Golden Core stage?”

nThe words were said very quietly, but Loopy Toad still heard it.

n…This guy doesn’t just have bad spiritual perception , he’s also a fool! I’m clearly a valiant, outstanding, charming and handsome dog that lives a pure and virtuous life and can’t help spending the whole day enjoying the scenery of the little school garden! Actually challenging my bottom line over and over again?! — F**k, is this punk simply tired of living?!

n“Qingliu! Come out!”

nXu Jian shouted when he realized that this dog wouldn’t be easy to deal with. Instantly, a brilliant light glowed in his hand as a scarlet spirit sword emerged, the image of a huge red hook imprinted on its blade.

nLoopy Toad had already been on earth for six years, so it recognized the brand of the immortal sword at a glance — it was a first-class spirit sword made by Nike, and could only be wielded by users at the Golden Core stage! And the “Qingliu” which Xu Jian had shouted was the name of the spirit in the sword.

nHow powerful was a first-class spirit sword? It was powerful enough to destroy the body of a Golden Core expert! It could even puncture a person’s golden core, and cause completely irreversible harm!

nIf Loopy Toad had been in its original body, forget a spirit sword, even a more powerful immortal or holy weapon wouldn’t be able to injure it. However, its current dog body was void of refinement; even a common kitchen knife could cut it apart, let alone a spirit sword.

nBut…

nThat was only if this lousy sword could come near enough to slash it.

n“Qingliu, go! Kill it!”

nAt Xu Jian’s cry, Loopy Toad immediately saw a spirit light emerge from the sword, and a faint figure was projected into the air.

nThis appearance of a boy less than ten years old was the spirit of the Qingliu sword.

nHum ! The little sword spirit raised his fingers and took a fighting stance. A bare second later, countless sword points shot out like a thousand arrows.

nTremble, foolish dog!

nKneel and surrender!

nIt was as if Xu Jian had already seen this mongrel’s gruesome death.

nIt was just a mongrel dog with a bit of spirit energy, and it wanted to challenge his spirit sword at its level? Dream on!

nHowever, as a seasoned demon king, what manner of weapon hadn’t Loopy Toad seen?

nIn the end, it was just a petty spirit sword, and this assassin wanted to use it to fight Loopy Toad? He was really too young…

nLoopy Toad looked at the sword spirit, then looked up into the air at a forty-five degree angle.

nAnd then, ferociously…

nWoof !

n“…”

nXu Jian thought the dog was about to demonstrate an ultimate move, but in the end, it only gave a clear and loud howl. He was completely confused.

n“What the heck is it doing?”

nTo Xu Jian, there was nothing out of the ordinary about this howl, but to the ears of the sword spirit, it was a completely different matter.

nA weapon spirit’s five senses were stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator. Even if it was just a subtle aura, it would be able to sense it.

nMixed into that howl were traces of the demon king’s power, and at last the sword spirit saw the true nature of the dog… behind it, he saw a giant shadow of a demon king!

nThis colossal figure enveloped Qingliu, making him instantly break out in a cold sweat. He could clearly feel the tremendous pressure of a demon king!

nF**k fighting! There was no way he could challenge it at all!

nQingliu instantly waved at Xu Jian and smiled. “— See — ya!”

nThen, this sword spirit with no moral integrity retreated directly back into the sword, and the sword’s light instantly faded. All this happened with less warning than Ultraman’s color timer blinking red 1 .

nIt was an embarrassing scene.

nXu Jian: “…”

nInstinctively, Xu Jian knew — this dog was definitely abnormal!

nThe whole time, Xu Jian felt that the dog had been staring at him as if he was some kind of prey!

nPushing off with his feet, he flew backwards swiftly to put some distance between them.

n“Tch, you still want to run? Where can you run to?” Loopy Toad sneered, not planning to let this person go.

nSince the start of the fight, it had been gathering its strength. After a long delay, it finally felt the accumulated spirit strength in its body reach its saturation point, and a cyan light surged forth with a hum!

n“Not good!” Xu Jian could smell something dangerous in the air, but it was too late.

nIn that moment, a great pressure suddenly fell from the sky, completely freezing him in place and making him immobile!

nThen.

nHe saw a great shadow in the air, enveloping him completely and blocking out the bright sun in the little garden…

nHe stared blankly at this indistinct huge shadow, and felt that it was somehow familiar.

nHis memories started spinning rapidly…

nSuddenly, he remembered the powerful demon king which had emerged from the Gate Between Worlds in the sky six years ago, and which had the strength to swallow souls!

nThis huge demon king shadow deftly stretched out its long tongue and ruthlessly swept up Xu Jian’s soul.

nAt the moment his soul was being swallowed, Xu Jian’s heart was full of despair.

nSomeone tell him… why the f**k had this demon king become a dog?!

n…

nEverything happened in the blink of an eye.

nXu Jian died miserably, his soul a snack for Loopy Toad.

nThe clouds dispersed, the shadow disappeared, and the sun shone brightly on the garden once more.

nLoopy Toad burped and found a good place in the sun to continue sleeping lazily on its stomach, as if nothing had happened.

nA rip-roaring wind blew through the little garden and ruffled its short, green fur…

n
