Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2265 - 2221: Corpse-eating Dog

After all, Old Li was his subordinate. Even though it was a bit presumptuous for him to come up, he still couldn’t just watch him get bullied.

So he spoke up, "Old Li, come over to me."

"Thank you, City Lord."

Old Li, seeing him as a savior, quickly clasped his hands together to thank him, and quickly made his way to the side of the City Lord of Gold City.

The situation inside the tower was complex.

It was pitch black all around, extremely silent, with no sound at all.

However, the greater the silence, the more unsettled it made one’s heart.

It felt like trouble was brewing.

This was the calm before the storm.

This silence lasted for a few minutes.

Then suddenly, a loud roar shattered the silence on site.

Roar...

The roar was like a tiger’s, yet also distinctly different.

It was incredibly heart-stirring and terrifying.

"There’s something there."

Sect Master Lin Zong was the first to react, immediately pointing in the direction of the stone door and shouting loudly.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and indeed saw a creature resembling a hound appearing near the stone door without anyone knowing when it showed up.

Its body was jet black, its mouth full of sharp fangs like countless steel knives.

Its pair of blood-red eyes seemed to come from hell.

The entire look was extremely terrifying, and it also emitted an intensely terrifying blood aura.

The feeling was as if this creature had crawled out of a pile of blood from the dead...

Otherwise, how could its body possibly be contaminated with such a strong sense of blood?

"What... what kind of creature is this?"

The City Lord of Gold City was also panicked upon seeing this suddenly appearing thing.

He had never seen such a thing.

Chen Yang was also puzzled.

Looking at the creature’s appearance, he felt as if it did not belong to this world.

It looked so bizarre, truly as if it came from hell, looking extremely terrifying.

"This is a Corpse-eating Dog."

Just as everyone was shocked and wondering what kind of creature it was, the man in black spoke up.

"Corpse-eating Dog? What kind of creature is that? Is it a species from Northern State?"

The City Lord of Gold City still asked in shock.

"No, this creature is a variant of demon beasts. I saw it in some ancient books before. Its abilities are very peculiar and hard to deal with."

"Especially this Corpse-eating Dog, swift in movement, particularly bloodthirsty. With one careless move, it can drain your body of life."

The man in black spoke in an unusually serious tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts pounded.

Old Li was even more frightened.

He never thought they’d encounter such a thing upon reaching the third floor.

"How do we deal with this thing?" The City Lord of Gold City asked nervously.

"Corpse-eating Dogs are most afraid of fire and lightning. These cultivation techniques might have more effect on them," said the man in black.

"Fire? Lightning?"

"Good, we all know some Fire Element cultivation techniques, which should come in handy."

Upon hearing that Fire Element cultivation techniques could be effective, everyone’s worries immediately decreased.

Because they all knew Fire Element cultivation techniques.

However, they were thinking too wishfully.

Knowing Fire Element cultivation techniques and mastering them are two different things.

Not just any Fire Element cultivation technique could deal with a Corpse-eating Dog.

But the man in black didn’t mention this; he didn’t want to undermine their morale.

After the Corpse-eating Dog appeared, at first, it paced back and forth fiercely with bared teeth, as if carefully selecting its prey.

The City Lord and others were tense; their Fire Element cultivation techniques had already quietly begun circulating.

However, Chen Yang felt a bit embarrassed.

Because he hadn’t learned any Fire Element cultivation techniques.

He had only been able to come to the mansion thanks to Sun Xiaosheng’s Spiritual Fire.

In front of so many people, he couldn’t use the Spiritual Fire.

If it became known that he possessed Spiritual Fire, the trouble would be endless.

He could only channel the Demon Suppression Record, hoping to fend off the Corpse-eating Dog.

Roar...

After pacing around for a while, the Corpse-eating Dog, as if noticing that Old Li was the weakest, immediately let out two roars and then charged straight at Old Li.

Its momentum erupted, instantly filling the entire space with a strong smell of blood.

It was extremely foul, causing nausea.

But at this moment, no one cared about that.

Old Li looked at the charging Corpse-eating Dog, trembling all over with sweat dripping from his forehead.

"City Lord, help me."

Old Li frantically activated his cultivation technique in defense, simultaneously loudly calling for help from the City Lord.

Of course, the City Lord couldn’t just sit by and watch Old Li die in such a manner.

He gathered energy in his palms, took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth to spit a flame at the attacking Corpse-eating Dog.

The flame burned the Corpse-eating Dog.

Mid-air, upon seeing the flame shooting toward it, the Corpse-eating Dog indeed showed fear.

Quickly changing its flight path, it twisted its body to dodge the flame’s attack, jumping aside.

Its eyes also revealed signs of dread.

"It really is afraid of flames!"

Seeing this, Old Li immediately broke into a smile.

The fright he felt earlier instantly alleviated, turning to calm.

"Afraid of flames? Then it’s easy to deal with."

The City Lord also smiled, unwilling to miss the chance, stepped forward and continued to spit fire, burning the Corpse-eating Dog.

Sure enough, upon seeing the flames, the Corpse-eating Dog dodged again.

The fear of the flame was like a mouse seeing a cat.

After dodging, the Corpse-eating Dog had jumped to a corner against the wall, its eyes filled with deep dread, and perhaps its body even seemed to be trembling a bit.

Seeing this, both Chen Yang and the man in black frowned slightly.

It seemed as though something was amiss.

But before they could say anything, they heard Old Li laughing loudly.

"Hahaha, I thought it was formidable, but it’s so afraid of flames. Good thing we made it to the third floor; this task couldn’t be easier." Old Li laughed.

His attitude suddenly became arrogant again.

"This Corpse-eating Dog isn’t as simple as you think." The man in black said seriously.

Old Li, however, was indifferent because he saw the Corpse-eating Dog trembling, so he assumed it was mortally afraid of the flames.

No matter how strong its aura was, it was just a dog afraid of flames.

"It’s not simple, but we’ve found its weakness. Isn’t it easy to manipulate? Just watch, I’ll handle it." Old Li laughed twice, becoming bolder.

He even dared to step forward, striding toward the Corpse-eating Dog.

As he walked, he said, "Corpse-eating Dog, today your Grandpa Li will teach you how to be a dog!"

With just a few steps, Old Li approached the Corpse-eating Dog.

Perhaps to show off, he didn’t wait for anyone else to say anything.

Once reaching the Corpse-eating Dog, he instantly activated his flame technique, flames igniting on his palm, and he slapped at the Corpse-eating Dog.

Wanting to strike it down.

But he couldn’t have imagined.

In the face of his Flame Palm, the Corpse-eating Dog’s eyes suddenly lost any trace of fear and instead revealed a vicious, cold smile.

It showed no intention of dodging.

"Die."

Old Li still hadn’t sensed anything amiss, continuing to charge forward.

He believed with flames in his hand, even if he couldn’t hit the Corpse-eating Dog, he could at least scare it away.

But he was gravely mistaken.
