The black dog stared at the woman in front of him, his face filled with wariness.
As the leader of the local ruffians in the Divine Capital, he had a beast-like intuition — they could basically tell who they could and could not afford to offend at a glance.
There was a saying in the pugilistic world: Women, old people, and children should not be offended.
Since women were weak, and since they dared to roam the pugilistic world, they most likely had great skills and were outstanding in some way.
Old people were shrewd with age, and their experience and connections were not something that young people could compare to. Even if they were no match for young people in a fight, they had rich experience and methods to deal with their enemies.
As for children … If they beat up the young, the old would come out. It would be like poking a hornet's nest, and they could not afford to offend them.
The woman in front of him had a top-notch figure and appearance. Even the figure of the courtesan the black dog had seen from afar on the streets was not as good as hers.
If this was any other time, the black dog would have pounced on her with a lecherous smile. However, the more beautiful the woman was, the more he felt nervous and fearful when she appeared here.
"Who are you?" The black dog's body tensed up, and he held the long saber in front of his chest.
The woman stared coldly at the black dog and snorted coldly, as if it was beneath her to answer his question. She stared deeply at the black dog, and the black dog immediately saw the woman's skin rapidly decaying and aging. In an instant, she turned from a slender and beautiful young lady into a wrinkled old woman with wrinkled skin. Then, her skin fell off like mud, and her entire body turned back into a bloody skeleton. She opened her mouth and howled as she pounced at the black dog.
The black dog was scared out of his wits. With a cry, he turned and ran. He had only taken a few steps when he fell heavily to the ground. He quickly got up and turned his head to take a look, only to see that the bloody skeleton had already pounced on him. Its five fingers were like hooks, grabbing at him!
The black dog was scared out of his wits. He desperately waved the long saber in his hand and kicked his legs, wanting to chase this terrifying demon away.
However, in Little Zhu's eyes, the black dog had only taken a look at the woman before him, and he was scared out of his wits. He turned and ran away as if he had gone mad. Then, as if he was being haunted by ghosts, he began to go crazy as if he had seen the most terrifying demon.
To the black dog, this woman was a demon. But to the little bamboo, she was as cute as an angel from the heavens.
"Sister Yuehan!" Little Bamboo waited until the black dog was far away before she threw herself into Yuehan's arms with tears in her eyes.
This woman was Yuehan. She hugged Little Bamboo lovingly and said softly, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
Xiao Zhu shook her head sensibly. She wiped her tears and said, "I know Sister Yuehan will come!"
Yuehan whispered, "Someone's watching me, I can't show myself. Quick, follow me, we need to find a way to leave this place."
Right now, the Divine Capital was no longer a good hiding place. Li Chengfeng and Zhao Feiyue weren't around. Once she was captured, no one would be able to help her escape.
Yuehan had always been a very suspicious person. When she discovered that Xiao Zhu and her mother had suddenly disappeared, she immediately chose to disappear as well.
She knew that it was impossible to take away Little Zhu and her mother in the manor without anyone noticing without having someone on the inside!
This meant that the Crown Prince's side had long been infiltrated by someone, even in such a secret place!
What did this mean?
Moreover, what terrified Yuehan the most was that these days, she could vaguely feel waves of uneasiness in the depths of her soul. It was as if her most terrifying nightmare was approaching her step by step!
To Yuehan, what was the most terrifying nightmare?
The Lord of the Underworld?
No, it was the Yellow-Eyed Demon!
This was the person Yuehan feared the most!
Just the thought of the enemy chasing her all the way to the Divine Capital made Yuehan shiver all over!
"Quick, let's go!" Yuehan pulled Little Bamboo and disappeared in a flash.
Black Dog ran like a madman, howling hysterically. One of its hands was swinging its long sword in a frenzy, slashing behind it while its feet kept running forward. Its head would occasionally turn around to look behind it, as if there was an invisible demon chasing after it.
When the other gangsters who were involved in the search heard his voice, they curiously tried to stop him.
"Hey, black dog, did you see a ghost?"
A bulky gangster stepped forward and blocked the way. He said with a smile, "It's broad daylight, what's with the plague?
Stop, don't go forward, you're going to bump into someone important! "
A lackey beside him immediately smiled and said, "Maybe he ate sh * t and was bewitched?
After all, a dog can't stop eating sh * t! "
The surrounding gangsters all laughed, but when the black dog saw them, he did not stop. His face was twisted as if he did not see them, and he ran head-on.
The bulky gangster's face darkened. He felt that the black dog had embarrassed him. He shouted in a low voice, "Black dog, I'm talking to you!" After saying that, he stretched out his arm to stop the black dog.
No one expected the black dog to see his outstretched arm and immediately pull out his knife to slash!
These people didn't expect the black dog to go crazy and actually cut down with its blade. The bulky hoodlum's arm immediately flew off. He looked at his severed arm in disbelief, and after letting out a miserable howl, he fell backwards.
The surrounding gangsters were in an uproar and subconsciously made way for the black dog, who waved his knife and rushed out.
"Boss, boss!"
The gangsters waited for the black dog to run away before they gathered around the bulky gangster. One by one, they rolled their eyes and shouted eagerly, but their eyes could not help but silently communicate with each other.
The boss was disabled, so next... was it time to change the boss?
While they were here scheming, the black dog had already run all the way to two streets. Suddenly, he found that there was nothing in front of him. In front of him was a long and narrow alley, and at the end of the bluestone floor stood a man in a black robe and a black hood.
The black dog was trembling all over. He held the long knife in his hand and shouted at the man in black, "Get out, get out of here, get out of here!"
The black dog looked back, but it let out another terrified howl and charged at the black-robed man.
The man in black crossed his arms over his chest and looked at him with interest. He said in a low voice, "You're afraid of her, but not me?
Interesting! "
As he said that, when the black dog rushed forward with the knife, the man in black slowly stretched out a finger. The finger was just there, and the arm was not even stretched out, but in the eyes of the black dog, the world suddenly darkened. The finger was the only thing left in front of him, and his body rushed toward the finger uncontrollably. Even though he waved the long knife and slashed at the man, when the long knife fell, he suddenly found that the arm was so long that it seemed to stretch across the earth. The man in black had become a small black dot in the distant sky, and there was only a huge finger pointing at his forehead.
It was as if the god in the sky had stretched out a finger and pressed it gently, as if it was pressing down on a tiny insect!
He wanted to control his body not to crash into it, but found that he could not control his body at all. He rushed forward like a moth to a flame, and the tip of the finger touched his forehead bit by bit.
With a buzzing sound, the black dog's mind was suddenly filled with the sound of a morning bell and evening drum. Then, the sky and the earth lit up, and its body became light as a feather. An inexplicable sense of happiness and satisfaction filled its body, causing it to slowly float up, up, up, all the way to the sky.
If anyone were to witness this scene, they would be shocked to see that after the black-robed man pointed at the black dog, it was rooted to the spot, its entire body frozen. Then, from the top of the black dog's head, a white soul was struggling to crawl out of its body. It was like a silkworm struggling to break out of its shell.
When it struggled to break out of the body, the white soul let out a howl and then burrowed into the black robed man's sleeve. The moment it burrowed into the black robed man's sleeve, the black robed man's entire body surged like a hurricane. The corners of his sleeves swelled up, and at that moment, if one looked through the sleeves, they would be able to see countless pairs of green eyes!
