Chapter 34: Little Heizi’s Strength

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Little Heizi’s Strength

Atop the city tower!

The war drums sounded in that very instant!

THUMP THUMP THUMP!

The moment the drums sounded, every Mutant within the Nebula Barrier heard them and froze.

They all felt their scalps go numb with terror!

’What the fuck?’

’What does this mean?’

’Is another beast tide coming?’

Inside the villa, Zhou Huaiwei heard the sound and shot to her feet!

’This is...!’

’It’s the sound of the war drums from before!’

’The beast tide... it’s here?!’

She froze for a moment!

’My husband and Little Sister Bai aren’t here right now!’

She then looked over at Little Heizi.

She recalled what Ye Yunyi had told her.

Without hesitation, she pulled Little Heizi outside!

"Let’s go, to the city gate!"

Zhou Huaiwei said, then glanced down at Little Heizi.

The corner of her mouth twitched.

’Do I... have to ride him?’

’Ride a dog?’

’Don’t they say riding a dog will rip your pants...?’

’But this is an emergency. I don’t have time to worry about that!’

Without another thought, she straddled Little Heizi and wrapped her arms around his neck!

"Go, Little Heizi! To the city gate!"

The next moment, Little Heizi shot forward!

His speed steadily increased!

「At the same time.」

A crowd of Mutants was frantically rushing toward the city gate.

Every one of them wore a grim expression.

They knew the situation was even more critical than before.

After all!

City Lord Ye, Bai Zhixi, and the Crimson Flame Tiger weren’t here!

’This time, we’re probably goners!’

Despite this thought, they charged forward without hesitation.

Their pace quickened.

The next moment!

They heard a whoosh from behind them.

They glanced back.

Instantly, they all gasped, unable to believe their eyes!

’What the hell is that?!’

WHOOSH!

The next moment, they watched as a black shadow shot past them!

It moved so fast it nearly broke the sound barrier!

’That...!’

’What was that?!’

"What was that, that just ran past?!"

one of the Mutants asked after a dazed moment.

The others were just as dumbfounded.

"I think... it looked like a dog!"

"I remember now! That’s the black dog from City Lord Ye’s villa!"

His words jolted everyone back to reality.

’It really is!’

The Mutants who had attended the banquet all remembered it!

’That really is the dog from Ye Yunyi’s villa!’

They had all assumed it was just a non-Tier Exotic Beast, no different from a pre-apocalypse dog.

’But...!’

’Who would have thought!’

’It could move that fast!’

’So it’s a powerful Exotic Beast after all!’

"Just how many trump cards and powerful Exotic Beast pets does City Lord Ye have?!"

The question echoed in everyone’s hearts.

’Seriously!’

’It’s downright terrifying!’

Back at the barrier, the slaughter had already begun.

But it was an utter rout.

After all, the power gap between the two sides was immense.

SQUELCH!

With the sound of tearing flesh, One-Eyed Dragon lopped off the arm of the Mutant before him.

Blood sprayed through the air!

Then, with a backhand slash, he finished him off.

"Make it quick!" After One-Eyed Dragon gave the order, his men’s attacks grew even more vicious and deadly.

Every move was a killing blow.

In just a few moments, a dozen bodies lay on the ground.

「Meanwhile.」

More Mutants from inside the Nebula Barrier rushed to the city gate.

They saw the first wave of Nebula Barrier’s defenders, already cut down.

Rage burned in their chests!

Their eyes burned with fury.

’They’ve gone too far!’

"Brothers, we fight to the death!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

...

Cries of "Kill!" shot to the heavens!

They glared at One-Eyed Dragon and his men, but just as they were about to charge, the next moment!

A sonic boom echoed from behind them.

They turned to look.

and saw a black shadow speeding toward them.

It screeched to a halt, coming to a stop right behind the crowd.

"Move... Move aside!"

Zhou Huaiwei, on Little Heizi’s back, was thoroughly dazed and disoriented from the ride.

She wasn’t a Mutant; how could she possibly endure such a rough ride?

Honestly, this was even rougher than when Ye Yunyi tossed her around!

Then, she slowly rode Little Heizi out through the city gate.

One-Eyed Dragon, the leader of the group, stared at the scene.

He was momentarily stunned.

His men were stunned as well.

’What the hell is this?!’

’A beautiful woman just rode out on a dog?!’

’This is ridiculous!’

Meanwhile, Zhou Huaiwei looked ahead and realized this wasn’t the beast tide she had imagined.

But seeing the men and the corpses littering the ground, she understood the situation.

"You’re not getting in today!"

Zhou Huaiwei said, glaring at them.

"Hahaha!" One-Eyed Dragon roared with laughter. "Little lady, are you an idiot? You think you can talk tough while riding that dumb mutt?"

"Just you wait. Your master here is going to show you a real good time!"

"Once I use my eighteen techniques on you, you’ll be seeing heaven!"

His words made Zhou Huaiwei flush with anger.

She slid off the dog’s back.

The next moment, her legs gave out. She staggered and plopped right onto the ground.

The crowd behind her: "..."

’Uh...’

’They recognized her as Zhou Huaiwei, City Lord Ye’s wife, but they were pretty sure she wasn’t a Mutant!’

Seeing this, One-Eyed Dragon on the other side laughed even harder.

’This chick!’

’She talks tough but acts like a coward!’

’She fell on her ass the moment she showed up?’

He was about to say something, but then he saw Zhou Huaiwei glaring at him, her slender hand shooting out to point.

She snarled fiercely,

"Little Heizi!"

"Get him!"

’Get him?’

’Get what?!’

’For fuck’s sake, you’re relying on that stupid dog?’

’What’s it gonna do?’

’What *can* it do?!’

One-Eyed Dragon’s patience ran out. He was about to order his men to advance.

’He needed to end this quickly. After all, there were plenty of resources waiting for them inside the barrier!’

But in the next instant!

He saw the black dog blur into motion.

A moment later, it reappeared just five meters in front of him.

Then, Little Heizi lunged, leaping into the air.

Its massive jaws snapped open!

Its teeth gleamed with a deadly light.

And it shot straight for One-Eyed Dragon’s throat!

SQUELCH!

The sound of tearing flesh echoed out!

One-Eyed Dragon felt a searing pain and his mind went blank.

He tumbled from his mount,

and collapsed to the ground.

He could feel the black dog savagely tearing at his neck!

Blood!

It gushed out, unstoppable!

Then, the next second!

RRRRIP!

A horrifying sound tore through the air.

Everyone watched,

transfixed by a sight they would never forget.

One-Eyed Dragon’s neck was ripped clean off.

’This...!’

The people from the city stared,

their mouths hanging open.

They were completely dumbfounded.

’This...!’

’What kind of combat power is that?!’

’I can’t believe City Lord Ye had another ace up his sleeve!’

’Even though he, Bai Zhixi, and the Crimson Flame Tiger are gone...’

’...he still left such a powerful trump card behind in the city!’

’As expected of City Lord Ye!’

’Even his pet dog is this powerful!’

One-Eyed Dragon’s followers stared, their eyes wide with disbelief, unable to process what they had just witnessed.

’Terrifying!’

’Absolutely terrifying!’

In an instant, the bandits’ eyes filled with panic.

After all, One-Eyed Dragon was their third-in-command!

His strength was nearly at the Golden Tier!

But!

He’d been killed by that black dog in a single exchange!

The next moment,

they saw the most terrifying sight of their lives.

The black dog raised its gaze to look at them, its jaws, still dripping with the flesh and blood of their third-in-command, pulling back into a snarl.
