Li Chonglou spoke and raised his hand. His method of forcibly awakening someone was simple: slapping.
However, at that moment, a sense of danger surged through him!
This was the first time he had felt this sensation since leaving that lost land. Without time to think, he immediately executed a legendary roll to the side.
"Huh?"
The old dog, with his fingers formed into claws, attacked. His hand landed precisely where Li Chonglou's heart was!
If not for his body's instinctual vigilance, Li Chonglou suspected he would have been dead on the spot if he had been a second slower!
This was because the aura emanating from the man before him was no simple matter!
"Who are you?"
They both spoke at the same time. After the old dog finished, he suddenly sneered.
"Never mind who you are. How dare you ruin my mood. You're unlucky today."
As soon as the words fell, the old dog's figure suddenly blurred. Li Chonglou was no stranger to this situation! Without thinking, he rolled to the side again. After stabilizing himself, he delivered a spinning back kick into the empty air.
*Bang!*
The old dog blocked with his forearms and asked in surprise.
"You can keep up with my speed?"
Li Chonglou did not explain. The curse power had not only sealed his strength but also significantly weakened his nerves and instincts. He hadn't actually seen the old dog's movements clearly. It was his own rich combat experience that had allowed him to deduce the outcome in an instant.
But he also knew that the opponent's attack was merely a probe. Therefore, the best course of action was to flee!
Kicking the old dog back, Li Chonglou immediately grabbed Xiaobai and darted upwards. As soon as he emerged, a chilling wind rushed at him from behind, noticeably faster than before!
Although his body's instincts had issued a warning, he still couldn't evade it. His entire back was slashed by five long wounds, bleeding profusely!
"Good reaction speed, but your strength is lacking."
The old dog, seemingly having gauged Li Chonglou's strength, licked the blood from his nails and walked slowly towards Li Chonglou with a cold sneer.
Mockery and disdain, like a cat playing with a mouse. The old dog looked at Li Chonglou as if he were his prey.
By now, they had returned to the first floor. Li Chonglou leaned against the wall, his brow furrowed as he watched the approaching old dog.
When did such a person appear in Shangjing? Or had I just not encountered them before?
Although the old dog's strength was not comparable to the Captain's, it should be on par with Old Niu's, perhaps even better in a fight to the death. Old Niu might even lose.
This was considered the strongest opponent Li Chonglou had encountered in Shangjing!
Just then, Li Chonglou suddenly heard a voice from upstairs.
"Old Dog, you have ten seconds. If you're not faster, I'm going to enjoy this little girl first."
The voice was filled with laughter, but the content of the words made Li Chonglou's expression turn grim.
Another one of *those* people.
After hearing Old Cat's reminder, the old dog's cold sneer intensified.
"Sorry, kid. I originally wanted to play with you, but it looks like I'll have to..."
The old dog continued to approach slowly, now only five steps away from Li Chonglou.
Li Chonglou's hand subtly gripped Xiaobai's neck.
Little guy, if you don't wake up soon, I'm in trouble...
Staring intently at the old dog's movements, Li Chonglou, who hadn't felt this nervous in a long time, was covered in sweat. He hadn't even felt this way when he encountered that monstrous existence in the lost land!
Time ticked by. When the old dog was only three steps away, his figure suddenly paused.
However, the experienced Li Chonglou instantly judged that he was about to attack! Coincidentally, he felt a slight movement from the softness in his arms. Without hesitation, Li Chonglou threw the soft object in his embrace.
The next moment, Old Cat, who was watching from upstairs, saw a flash of white light. Then, he saw the old dog pounce on Li Chonglou.
"Is this guy still planning to feast right now?"
Old Cat suddenly pinched his nose and turned his head away with a look of disgust.
In the room, Old Donkey asked, "What's wrong?"
"Old Dog is going to taste someone again. Forget it, let's not wait for him. We'll have fun first! If he doesn't clean himself up, I won't let him in!"
As Old Cat spoke, he walked back into the room. Old Donkey frowned slightly and said, "That won't do. You know his temper. Fine, I'll talk to him."
As Old Donkey spoke, he walked out. Before he reached the railing, he began to speak.
"Old Dog, if you taste someone now, you won't get to play with us later..."
He had only spoken half his sentence when Old Donkey reached the railing. However, when he leaned over to look down, he found no one below.
"Old Dog?"
Old Donkey's expression changed immediately. He instinctively looked towards the stairs and saw a white light rapidly expanding in his pupils.
"Damn it!"
He instinctively dodged to the side. With a difference of barely half a second, the white light cut open his face. Due to the excessive force, he tumbled over the railing.
However, halfway out, he used the railing to support himself and spun back. With a look of lingering fear, he stared to his right.
"What the hell is this thing!"
Less than three meters away from him, Xiaobai stood on the railing, looking at a certain direction with a wronged expression.
I haven't even completed my transformation yet. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have missed.
Xiaobai was looking in the direction of Li Chonglou. Although it was merely an exchange of glances, Li Chonglou somehow understood Xiaobai's meaning and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Hurry up, don't be like these things."
He replied with his eyes, but Xiaobai seemed to understand Li Chonglou's intent and immediately shifted his gaze to Old Donkey.
"Escape!"
At this moment, he no longer cared about Old Cat inside the room. He quickly shouted and rushed downstairs!
Even though he still didn't understand what this monstrous little thing was, it didn't stop him from sensing the killing intent in Xiaobai's eyes and the fatal sense of threat!
It was an opponent he could not defeat!
Old Donkey was now using all his might, his speed even faster than his usual limit. He vanished down the second-floor corridor like an illusion.
However, a white light was faster than him.
"No!"
As the doorway was within sight, the deathly crisis behind him was almost pressing against his heart. Instinctively, Old Donkey let out his final roar of unwillingness.
The next second, a white light pierced through his chest.
