Old Li was rescued by the City Lord and taken to safety. Inside the tower, a terrifying, blood-soaked hound-like creature appeared and was identified as a Corpse-eating Dog. The man in black explained that these beasts are afraid of fire and lightning, prompting the group to prepare their fire-based techniques. However, Chen Yang lacked such skills. The Corpse-eating Dog attacked Old Li, but the City Lord's flames made it recoil. Old Li, overconfident, approached the creature, believing it to be easily dealt with, but the Corpse-eating Dog's fear vanished, replaced by a menacing smile.

As he rapidly approached the Corpse-eating Dog, the creature did not evade. Instead, it suddenly leaped towards Old Li, attacking head-on.

The Corpse-eating Dog was utterly ferocious, its claws and fangs bared, frightening Old Li into a panic.

There was no time now.

With a perfect dodge, the Corpse-eating Dog avoided Old Li’s palm and then jumped directly onto Old Li.

Its claws wrapped around him, and its jaws lunged at his neck.

The scene was terribly brutal, unbearable to watch.

"Ah... ah..."

Old Li cried out in pain, letting out a scream akin to a pig being slaughtered.

"City Lord, save me, City Lord, save me." Old Li turned around, desperately pleading with City Lord Jin.

At this moment, City Lord Jin was also terrified.

He hadn’t expected the Corpse-eating Dog to suddenly pull this move.

"Beast."

City Lord Jin quickly reacted, activating his cultivation technique again, spraying a flame towards the Corpse-eating Dog.

Trying to drive the Corpse-eating Dog away.

But who could have anticipated that as the flames approached the Corpse-eating Dog, they were forcibly split by an unknown force.

No harm was done to the Corpse-eating Dog.

Instead, the fire burned Old Li.

The Corpse-eating Dog clung to him, frenziedly gnawing.

Now he was also being burned by the flames.

Old Li cried out hysterically, his screams unending.

The scene was too bloody, unbearable to watch.

"How... how could this be."

City Lord Jin widened his eyes, a gasp caught in his throat.

The others were equally horrified.

It turned out the Corpse-eating Dog pretending to fear flames was merely an act.

It was all to lure Old Li into attacking it alone.

So cunning.

"City Lord, save me, save me."

Old Li was not instantly bitten to death. He fell to the ground, rolling madly, struggling for help.

The Corpse-eating Dog remained atop him, ceaselessly biting.

City Lord Jin heard his cries for help; he wanted to intervene.

But he was apprehensive.

The Corpse-eating Dog was overwhelming, truly unafraid of his flames. How could he possibly step forward to assist?

What if this was another trap from the Corpse-eating Dog, and upon intervening, it turned and attacked him?

So he didn’t dare approach.

He could only watch helplessly as Old Li emitted desperate wails, rolling on the ground.

The Corpse-eating Dog bit fiercely, and before long, Old Li’s appearance was unrecognizable.

And the cries for help grew quieter, gradually losing vitality.

And just like that, Old Li was gone.

Except for City Lord Jin, who was somewhat displeased, the others mostly felt schadenfreude.

Who let this guy enjoy showing off and spouting nonsense?

Now he’s trapped himself.

One could only say he deserved it; it’s his own fault.

"I told you early on, the Corpse-eating Dog wouldn’t be so simple. Now look, a life wasted." The man in black crossed his arms, speaking in a resigned tone.

City Lord Jin was at a loss for words.

Indeed, the man in black had warned them.

But at that time, they were deceived by the Corpse-eating Dog’s facade, thus falling for the trap.

If any blame is to be placed, it’s on himself; blame Old Li for being too arrogant.

Wheezing and gasping...

After Old Li’s death, the Corpse-eating Dog didn’t stop but continued to frenziedly devour its corpse.

"What should we do now?"

City Lord Jin sighed, turning to ask the man in black.

Only the man in black had knowledge of the Corpse-eating Dog, so naturally, he had to ask her.

"Of course, we need to act. If it doesn’t die, we cannot pass the trial!" The man in black said decisively.

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, everyone got invigorated, immediately activating their cultivation techniques to encircle the Corpse-eating Dog.

Everyone knew this creature was extremely cunning and incredibly powerful.

Thus, when charging, everyone was extremely cautious, not daring to act rashly.

Afraid of meeting the same fate as Old Li.

The crowd rushed in collectively, and the Corpse-eating Dog reacted very quickly.

It turned and charged towards Wang Yuan’s subordinate.

Its massive, terrifying mouth opened.

"Foul beast, coming for me, die!" Wang Yuan’s subordinate was shocked, yet he had no room for retreat now.

He could only go all out, using his strongest combat power to face the Corpse-eating Dog.

He activated his Fire Element cultivation technique, forming several flames swirling around him for self-defense.

Additionally, his palms merged with flame techniques, striking at the Corpse-eating Dog.

The impact was formidable.

Striking the Corpse-eating Dog did little damage.

Instead, its claws ripped through his arm.

Leaving three deep, bone-revealing gashes...

But fortunately, his strike still had considerable force, forcibly knocking the Corpse-eating Dog away.

If not for his substantial strength, the Corpse-eating Dog would likely have latched onto him by now.

Already beginning to frenziedly bite him.

"Ugh ah."

Even though narrowly escaping disaster, the slash from the Corpse-eating Dog’s claws was tremendously uncomfortable.

He fell, crying out in pain; it hurt immensely.

Bang...

At the same time, the Corpse-eating Dog collided with the wall, crumbled to the ground, emitting a wail, and quickly stood up.

Its face was covered in blood, its gasping mouth still drooling Old Li’s blood, dribbling on the ground.

The scene was absurdly eerie, ferocious.

The Corpse-eating Dog dashed at Wang Yuan’s subordinate, the other’s attacks all missing.

Looking back, the crowd quickly gathered around Wang Yuan’s subordinate.

No one now dared underestimate the small Corpse-eating Dog.

Its ferocity, brutal nature, speed—all unmatched...

An unguarded moment would mean serious injury, or death.

Who would dare underestimate?

"So savage... this..." City Lord Jin was astounded, his hands trembling.

Sect Master Lin frowned deeply, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

"Its speed is too fast, too hard to handle, something must be done." Sect Master Lin said.

The man in black didn’t speak but ignored the wailing one, charging alone forward.

Her Fire Element cultivation technique flowed seamlessly, indicating that her cultivated technique was of substantial level.

Chen Yang speculated it wasn’t a skill she had learned just to enter here.

But rather, she inherently possessed it, hence its seamless execution.

The man in black rushed in, surrounded by flames, protecting herself.

Then, taking advantage of the Corpse-eating Dog’s unstable stance, she struck it with two Flame Palm prints.

The Corpse-eating Dog reacted swiftly, leaping again, perfectly dodging.

The man in black continued her assaults, relentlessly pursuing.

And that Corpse-eating Dog truly feared the Flame Palm prints wielded by the man in black, never daring to fight back, fleeing continuously.

Running back and forth along the stone wall, avoiding the man in black’s attacks.

It was fast enough to perfectly evade.

"You’re still watching, waiting to be picked off one by one?"

The man in black shouted to everyone while attacking.

"Quick, act."

City Lord Jin and the others finally reacted, hastily activating Fire Element techniques, encircling the Corpse-eating Dog.

Instantly, the entire space became a world of flames.

Some spewing fire, others igniting flames.

Only Chen Yang stood motionless.

Because he didn’t possess any Fire Element techniques, thus couldn’t contribute.

If he engaged in close combat, it would make the man in black and others apprehensive, hindering them.

Rather than creating trouble, he preferred to stand by, waiting for situational changes.
