Chapter 1375 - Lord Dog“s Paw
1375 Lord Dog“s Paw
The paws came from either side of Tian Cang at great speed and had forces strong enough to shatter the void. In just a flash, Alpha’s aura was scattered, the starry sky was blown apart, and turbulence surged and filled their surroundings. The violent turbulence did not affect the two cute-looking paws, however, and they continued to approach Alpha.
“How presumptuous!” Alpha cried out. His body burst into a bright light, while a small world emerged over his head, emanating a supreme aura that could awe all the other small worlds. There seemed to be the Power of the Laws surging in it as well. A Demigod could already comprehend the Power of the Laws, but there was still a long way to go if he wanted to comprehend one complete Law.
Alpha had no way to dodge the two dog paws. They were Demigods as well, and they did not seem to be weaker than him. Since all his retreat paths were blocked, he was forced to thrust his palms to meet them.
Rumble!
A terrible explosion broke out, producing blasts that seemed to turn the whole world upside down and rushing air currents that kept pushing the turbulence away.
Tian Cang grunted as a great force knocked him and threw him back, his body tumbling helplessly like a tiny boat in monstrous waves. It was a long time before he managed to stop in the void, panting for breath. When he looked down at his chest, he saw the metal there had been crushed completely.
Alpha smashed onto the warship with a loud boom. The vessel shook, and the violent vibration caused a rumbling sound to echo throughout the ship. A pity that the surprise attack planned by Lord Dog and Di Ting did not kill him on the spot. He rose to his feet on the warship, his body exuding an extremely oppressive and dreadful aura.
“I can’t believe you’re trying to kill me! You two dogs are really bold!” Alpha wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, his eyes cold. He was too careless, he knew, and that had almost cost his life. He did not expect the two dogs would sneakily attack him at the same time. However, since they were not able to kill him, it meant that he still had a chance.
“I have given you the chance to discuss with me, and yet you refused it. Why must you resort to force? Why must you choose an extreme path such as this?”
Alpha was very angry. He had thought that everything he did was right. After learning that this chaotic region filled with small worlds had elevated to a great world, he chose not to plunder it with force. Instead, he offered them to exchange the hostages with resources of equivalent value.
He thought he was being reasonable, and yet these two dogs tried to kill him. He almost fell into their trap. The main reason was that he never expected to find two Demigods in this newly born great world. Even if their comprehension of the Laws was not profound, they were still Demigods, and that put them on the same level as him.
The void tore apart, and Di Ting and Lord Dog stepped out of it. Now that their surprise attack had failed, there was no need for them to hide anymore. Lord Dog walked out with his elegant cat-like steps, his fat jiggling. Di Ting, on the other hand, was still shrouded in the black fog, but this time, he did not hide his four short little legs.
It was somewhat amusing how two dogs were so invincible. Alpha, at least, felt like bursting into laughter. He was an emissary from a great world and recognized by the experts of the Divine Dynasty. A man as noble as him had come to this barren region, and yet he almost died here. Therefore, he had decided not to hold back his power anymore and just let this part of the world turn into dust and smoke.
Alpha’s eyes lit up. The next moment, he disappeared from where he was standing. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Lord Dog, pointing a finger at the latter’s forehead.
“What a fat dog… Ah Zhuang’s kitchen knife will be happy to cut you into pieces!” Alpha said in a cold voice.
Even as his finger approached, however, he disappeared once again. He truly vanished, and it was not because he moved too fast—he had used the power of a Law.
The fat on Lord Dog’s face twitched. Suddenly, he raised a paw and threw it at a spot in the void.
Bam!
A figure emerged there and caught the paw with a punch. The void around them shattered, while Lord Dog’s fat jiggled.
Alpha’s figure vanished again. It was like teleporting. “You can’t defeat me… The Law I’m comprehending is the Law of Teleport. It’s a sub-law under the Supreme Law of Space. How could you two dogs stop me?!” His cold voice echoed in the starry sky.
He appeared again the next moment, but this time, he was behind Di Ting. Just as he said, he could teleport.
Shrouded in the black fog, Di Ting threw out his little paw to counter Alpha’s attack. The impact shook both of them and forced them back at the same time. It was plain that they were equally strong.
To become a Demigod, one had to begin comprehending the Laws and form the divine sense, but the process would take immeasurable time and effort. Because he did not have much time, Tian Cang had given up breaking through the Demigod Realm and chose to attack Nether Prison. In the end, not only had he failed to defeat Nether Prison, but he also died.
Alpha was comprehending the Law of Teleport. What Laws were Lord Dog and Di Ting comprehending, then? Tian Cang was curious. He floated in the distant sky as he was no longer qualified to join the battle of this level. As the wound on his chest was beginning to slowly heal and close up, he turned his eyes to the warship. A thought came to him. He glanced at Alpha, who was fighting with the two dogs, then sped away and landed onto the warship. Since the metal door was open, he took the opportunity and rushed through it into the ship.
Meanwhile, Lord Dog kept throwing his paws out, and Di Ting did the same. No matter how Alpha moved with his teleport ability, he could do nothing to them. For a moment, the battle turned white-hot. If truth be told, Alpha was somewhat frightened because the two dogs had not revealed the Laws they were comprehending, and he felt that they were looking down upon him.
Suddenly, he vanished again, and when he reappeared, he was already on the warship, looking at the two dogs with an ice-cold face and with his chest heaving violently. “No matter what, those who want to kill me will have to die!” he growled, unleashing his divine sense.
A series of clanging sounds rang out the next moment, and then many huge crossbows began to emerge across the deck, all glinting coldly. Surprisingly, the main weapons of this warship were not energy shells but huge crossbow bolts.
“These are the God-slaying Crossbows from the Divine Dynasty! Although they’re the simplified version, they’re powerful enough to kill you two! After you die, I’ll ask Ah Zhuang to skin you and make you into a stew!” Alpha grinned.
Lord Dog narrowed his eyes slightly, and Di Ting gave a cold snort.
“Who is Ah Zhuang…”
“Whoever he is, just kill him with a slap.”
Di Ting and Lord Dog talked to each other. Although their cooperation was only temporary, they shared the anger toward all dog eaters.
Alpha’s cold laughter echoed through the starry sky. He waved a hand. At the gesture, a bolt shot out from one of the huge crossbows. It was a large bolt, carved with mysterious lines and made of some special materials, which gave it an incredible speed. It went straight toward Lord Dog.
In the distance, Alpha was laughing wildly.
Lord Dog twitched his mouth. “I wonder who gave you your confidence…” his gentle and magnetic voice rang out. The next moment, he began to transform, and in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a huge three-headed dog, breathing Earth Prison Flames and barking. Then, he threw out his paw again, which distorted and shattered the void. Even then, the bolt came whistling, stirring the turbulence in the void as it went at his head.
Somewhere near the battlefield, the void twisted, and then the Netherworld Ship ripped through it and slowly came to the starry sky. Bu Fang and Nethery sat on the deck, watching the battle in the distance. The terrible fluctuations had already attracted the attention of many nearby experts. After all, a clash between Demigods was hard to ignore. The moment they arrived, they happened to see Lord Dog’s paw collide with the bolt.
Alpha’s wild laughter came to an abrupt stop. He saw Lord Dog’s paw slap the bolt, and it was unscathed. His bolt, on the other hand, began to crumble from inside out. Then, with a boom, it exploded completely, turning into countless tiny pieces that scattered across the starry sky.
‘Dammit! How’s that possible?!’ Alpha’s eyes widened in disbelief. He was utterly shocked as he watched the dog paw shatter the God-slaying bolt. Although his crossbows were just copies of the real ones, they should not be this weak. Could it be that the black dog was comprehending an extremely powerful Law, which was stronger than his Law of Teleport?! But how was that possible? How could a dog in a remote region comprehend a Law that was stronger than his Law of Teleport? Was he worse than a dog?
‘No! Those smugglers must have sold me fake things!’ Alpha growled in his head.
A series of twanging sounds filled the air as one bolt after another shot out of the crossbows, approaching Lord Dog and Di Ting at great speed. They were going to pierce both of them at the same time.
The bolts’ power was peerless. No matter how Alpha looked at them, he did not think that they were fake. However, the black dog had only waved his paw, and the bolts were shattered. It seemed that he had really purchased fake bolts! Without the crossbows, he had no other choice but to fight the two dogs himself, but he wasn’t sure that he could defeat them alone.
After considering for a moment, Alpha decided to retreat. Although the crossbows were fake, his warship should not be fake. He had purchased it with almost all his wealth! As an assault warship from the Divine Dynasty, its defense was unbreakable by Demigods.
Standing on the deck, he activated the ship’s defensive array. A spherical light shield immediately emerged and surrounded the whole vessel. Alpha looked on with a sneer from inside the barrier. It was the first time he had come across such a situation. He could not believe that a bunch of natives dared to attack him, an emissary from the Divine Dynasty.
“You’re dead… When the Divine Dynasty’s border emissary is here, you all will have to die! Your world will be destroyed for trying to kill a Divine Dynasty’s emissary!” Alpha raised his chin and sneered.
Di Ting furrowed his brows, while a hostile look came into Lord Dog’s eyes. Together, they attacked the warship’s defensive array, but they could not break it.
Lord Dog’s eyes focused. ‘I can’t break it even with the Law I’m comprehending?’ Looking at Alpha, who was laughing in the warship, his fat jiggled.
Suddenly, a beam of light approached from a distance. Lord Dog turned to look at it suspiciously, then he saw a steaming bread float in front of him. Puzzled, he turned his eyes to Bu Fang.
Bu Fang clasped his hands behind his back and said with a straight face, “Try my bread… Who knows, you could be very lucky and break the barrier with a blow later?”
When Alpha heard that, he thought it was the funniest joke in the world. ‘They think they can break my warship’s defense by eating bread? And they even mentioned luck? Do they really think that I’ve bought a fake warship? They really are uncivilized natives. So stupid!’
