Chapter 639 - 638: Xia Hanshan’s Killing Intent! The Big Black Dog Protects Its Master
Chapter 639: Chapter 638: Xia Hanshan’s Killing Intent! The Big Black Dog Protects Its Master
Lin Yuehua, Feng Wuji, and Xia Hanshan landed atop the ruins of the Xuanyuan estate.
The once magnificent Xuanyuan estate, with its carved beams and painted rafters, was now nothing but a field of rubble and broken walls.
The ground was littered with the corpses of the Xuanyuan Family members, all of whom had died miserably.
Many of them were renowned King Realm powerhouses of Great Xia, and there were even a few Emperor Realm powerhouses among the dead.
Gazing at the hellish scene before them, the three Great Emperors merely frowned slightly before turning their attention elsewhere.
Without pausing, they immediately spread their Divine Thought to search the entire Xuanyuan estate.
Soon, they found Xuanyuan Changfeng’s body by the lake in the center of the estate.
"He’s really dead?!"
Xia Hanshan cried out in disbelief.
Only then did the three Great Emperors finally let their guards down.
But that relief was immediately followed by unconcealable shock.
’Who killed him?’
’Xuanyuan Changfeng was in the Pseudo-Divine Realm!’
’The first known powerhouse to reach the Pseudo-Divine Realm in the six hundred years since the Spiritual Energy Awakening!’
’To be killed right after he broke through!’
’Who would believe it if word got out?’
Soon, all three of them fixed their gazes on the tiny mosquito perched on the back of Xuanyuan Changfeng’s head.
Chu Sheng’s proboscis was still buried deep in Xuanyuan Changfeng’s skull.
"So... it really was the National Guardian Divine Mosquito who killed Xuanyuan Changfeng," Feng Wuji exclaimed in delighted surprise, his eyes wide.
A look of unconcealable shock also appeared on Lin Yuehua’s perpetually icy face.
"The National Guardian Divine Mosquito is only at the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm, yet he killed Xuanyuan Changfeng, who was in the Pseudo-Divine Realm. Isn’t that a bit... unbelievable?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Xia Hanshan’s eyes widened, his face a mask of disbelief.
’A mosquito killed Xuanyuan Changfeng, a Pseudo-Divine Realm powerhouse?’
He couldn’t believe it.
More than that, he couldn’t accept it!
「A few months ago.」
He and Xuanyuan Changfeng, who was still in the Emperor Realm at the time, had once easily cornered Chu Sheng on an island in the East Sea.
Back then, killing Chu Sheng would have been as simple as swatting a mosquito.
If not for the forceful intervention of the old director, Lu Lingchen, Chu Sheng would have been a corpse.
’And that was only a few short months ago!’
’Xuanyuan Changfeng had since advanced to the Pseudo-Divine Realm, making him more than ten times stronger than before!’
’And yet Chu Sheng had actually managed to kill him!!!’
’If Chu Sheng decides to come after me for revenge...’
Xia Hanshan couldn’t help but shudder.
Suppressing his fear, he took a few steps back to stand behind Lin Yuehua and Feng Wuji.
Just then, Feng Wuji noticed that something seemed wrong with Chu Sheng.
"Why isn’t the National Guardian Divine Mosquito moving?"
Lin Yuehua frowned and carefully sensed Chu Sheng’s aura.
"His aura is stable. His life shouldn’t be in danger."
"He’s probably just unconscious."
Feng Wuji nodded and carefully stepped forward, preparing to check on Chu Sheng’s condition.
Suddenly, a powerful Emperor Realm aura erupted without warning, its pressure forcing Feng Wuji to halt and retreat several steps.
Feng Wuji looked toward the source of the aura—the big black dog that had been lying beside Chu Sheng.
The big black dog was now on its feet, glaring warily at the three of them.
"That seems to be the National Guardian Divine Mosquito’s Beast Pet. What was its name again...?"
"Little Black," Lin Yuehua supplied.
She took a step forward and explained to the big black dog in the friendliest tone she could muster:
"Little Black, we’re here to help the National Guardian Divine Mosquito. We mean no harm."
"Could you please step aside? We want to check on the National Guardian Divine Mosquito’s condition."
"Approach and die!"
The big black dog raised its head, shot Lin Yuehua a cold glare, and uttered three words.
Although the big black dog didn’t move aside, Lin Yuehua could tell from his attitude that Chu Sheng was truly just unconscious and not in any mortal danger.
After all, if Chu Sheng died, his Beast Pet would not survive either.
Lin Yuehua and Feng Wuji both let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"It’s a relief that the National Guardian Divine Mosquito is alright."
Lin Yuehua theorized, "The National Guardian Divine Mosquito was probably trying to absorb Xuanyuan Changfeng’s Divine Power and Power of Law."
"But the Divine Power was too tyrannical for his body to handle at the moment, so he entered a state of slumber for self-preservation."
Feng Wuji paused, then asked worriedly, "Doesn’t that mean the National Guardian Divine Mosquito will be asleep for a very long time?"
"It’s hard to say." Lin Yuehua shook her head.
"Based on his current condition, I’d estimate he’ll be out for at least a month, and at most, half a year."
Feng Wuji frowned. "We can’t just leave the National Guardian Divine Mosquito here, then."
He looked at the big black dog and tried to persuade it. "Little Black, listen. How about this?"
"We just want to take your master back to the Military Department. It’s heavily guarded and absolutely safe there."
"We’ll have people protect the National Guardian Divine Mosquito twenty-four hours a day until he wakes up. What do you say...?"
Before he could finish, the big black dog’s Emperor Domain flared to life, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Feng Wuji.
"One final warning. Approach and die!"
Lin Yuehua and Feng Wuji exchanged a look, both finding the situation very tricky.
They couldn’t just leave Chu Sheng here; it wasn’t safe.
But the big black dog was completely intractable, refusing to let anyone near Chu Sheng.
And they couldn’t just force their way in, either.
After all, the big black dog was Chu Sheng’s Beast Pet.
Just then, Xia Hanshan, who had been standing silently behind them, suddenly spoke up.
"Lin Yuehua, Feng Wuji, you’re right."
"The National Guardian Divine Mosquito saved all of Kyoto. He is the undisputed hero of our Great Xia."
"Now that the National Guardian Divine Mosquito is unconscious, he has no way to defend himself."
"If we just leave him, what if someone with ulterior motives comes for revenge? What if the National Guardian Divine Mosquito is put in danger?"
"I believe the best course of action is to take the National Guardian Divine Mosquito back to the Military Department."
"Only the heavily guarded Military Department can guarantee his absolute safety."
As Xia Hanshan spoke, he didn’t wait for Lin Yuehua or Feng Wuji to respond.
With a flicker of his feet, he used Instant Teleportation to appear beside Chu Sheng.
He raised his hand, channeling the Power of Law as he swiftly reached for the unconscious Chu Sheng.
There was not a hint of concern for Chu Sheng’s safety in Xia Hanshan’s eyes.
Only a blood-red glint that betrayed a sinister madness.
Deep down, Lin Yuehua and Feng Wuji actually agreed with Xia Hanshan’s assessment.
After all, they too felt that the Military Department was the only place that could guarantee his safety.
Therefore, they didn’t immediately notice that anything was amiss with Xia Hanshan.
The big black dog, however, had remained on high alert.
He trusted none of them—not Lin Yuehua, not Feng Wuji, and not Xia Hanshan.
The instant Xia Hanshan teleported to Chu Sheng’s side, the dog reacted.
His Emperor Domain flared to its full extent, and the Power of Destruction Law surged toward Xia Hanshan without reservation.
"Big Black Dog, what are you doing?! I’m here to save your master!"
Xia Hanshan yelled, but the motion of his hand didn’t slow in the slightest.
"I gave the warning! Approach and die!"
The big black dog’s attack didn’t falter in the slightest as one of his paws swiped viciously at Xia Hanshan’s head.
Left with no choice, Xia Hanshan had to abandon his attempt to grab Chu Sheng and turn to block the dog’s attack.
BANG!
The blow from the dog’s paw sent Xia Hanshan staggering backward, his arm going numb.
He was utterly shocked.
’I’m a Late Stage Emperor Realm powerhouse!’
’Yet I was forced back in a single move by a big black dog that’s only in the Early Stage of the Emperor Realm!’
