Kill the Dog and Eat Its Meat

Yan Ruyu seemed to have thought of something. Sensing the powerful aura and pressure emanating from the man in front of her, her face immediately turned pale.

"Are you a guardian?"

The man nodded, his expression turning grim, and his heart began to pound with anxiety.

This situation is going to be difficult to handle!

But the next moment, his expression relaxed, and he secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, he had recently broken through to the third level of the Starry Sky Realm. Dealing with these two, one a level one Starry Sky Realm opponent and the other a level two Starry Sky Realm opponent, should not be a problem.

A cold glint flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes. Before the other party could speak, seven Ice Crystal Blades condensed at her fingertips and slashed at the man like meteors.

The surface of the Ice Crystal Blades emanated a bone-chilling coldness, and wherever it passed, the air condensed into tiny crystals.

The Star Herding Dog frowned, and nine light dragons rose into the air from his sleeves, swirling and twisting as they shredded the Ice Crystal Blades.

"Act recklessly!"

The burly man roared, golden runes appeared on his palm, and a giant, mountain-like phantom palm crashed down.

Yan Ruyu dodged the attack with lightning speed, the clouds exploding beneath her feet.

But as the residual force of the palm swept over, her skirt was instantly torn, revealing her slender ankles.

Yan Ruyu dared not be negligent. She quickly formed hand seals in front of her chest, and a huge star map appeared behind her.

The starlight gathered into Milky Way, pouring down upon the burly man.

The burly man sneered, flames surged around him, and with a wave of his hand, a crimson beam of light shot into the sky.

The star map collided with the beam of light, unleashing a deafening roar that distorted space itself.

Taking advantage of the situation, the burly man lunged forward, his fist crackling with lightning power, aiming straight for Yan Ruyu's face.

Yan Ruyu hastily erected a Spiritual Power shield, but was blasted backward by the punch, blood spilling from her mouth.

She steadied herself, a fierce glint in her eyes, and clenched her fists, condensing all her Spiritual Power into an ice-blue light sword.

"Ice Soul Slash!"

With her sharp cry, the lightsaber slashed at the burly man with World-destroying force.

The burly man's expression changed slightly, and he formed a hand seal, with ancient defensive runes appearing all over his body.

The lightsaber struck the runes, sending up dazzling sparks, but it was unable to break through the defenses.

The burly man seized the opportunity and swung a golden chain backhand.

The chain, like a serpent, coiled around Yan Ruyu's wrist and was suddenly pulled.

Yan Ruyu lost her balance and nearly fell.

She gritted her teeth, using the last bit of her Spiritual Power, and a strong chill erupted from her body.

Wherever the cold air passes, the cloud layer turns into a thick layer of ice.

A ring of flames appeared around the burly man. The flames were extremely hot, instantly thawing the clouds that had frozen into ice. Then, bursts of water vapor rose up, obstructing the view.

Hua Qiang did not rush to make a move. He observed the battle between the two and carefully comprehended the combat scenario between the Space-Time Realm.

After several rounds, Yan Ruyu was covered in wounds and her Spiritual Power was nearly exhausted.

The burly man, however, handled the situation with ease, and his attacks became increasingly fierce.

Each of his attacks left Yan Ruyu in grave danger, forcing her to barely dodge with her agile movements.

"Yu'er, step back!"

Seeing that Yan Ruyu was about to collapse, Hua Qiang finally spoke up.

"Yes, young master!"

Yan Ruyu responded and quickly stepped behind Hua Qiang, panting heavily.

Hua Qiang took out a bottle of Life Divine Water and made Yan Ruyu drink it. Her Spiritual Power, which was almost exhausted, quickly began to replenish itself, and the wounds on her body also quickly scabbed over and healed.

The Star Herding Dog stared at the empty jade bottle in Yan Ruyu's hand, its eyes gleaming with greed.

Was that woman drinking some kind of holy water?

Damn it, that Life Divine Water was given to her by that man!

This man actually possesses such a rare item as the Life Divine Water!

No, he's going to take that thing!

"Boy, I'll give you a chance. Surrender to me, this Star Lord, and become my servant. Then, hand over all the Life Divine Water within you."

"Otherwise, I, the Star Lord, will make you experience the taste of 'evil,' a taste of 'worse than death'!"

Even dying is a luxury!

Before Star Herding Dog could finish speaking, he was slapped across the face and sent flying backward, crashing into the wall of the Sealing Array.

He was dumbfounded!

What's going on?

How did I get knocked away by the other party?

Damn it, it was a slap across the face. That doesn't do much damage, but it's extremely humiliating!

Damn it, he's lived for hundreds of thousands of years and has never suffered such humiliation.

"You bastard, you have successfully angered this star lord! This star lord is going to devour you!"

The Star Herding Dog opened its mouth and bit at Hua Qiang. Instantly, a gaping maw appeared in the air, like a huge black hole, locking onto the space where Hua Qiang and Yan Ruyu were located.

Then the huge mouth emitted a powerful devouring force, causing Hua Qiang and his companion to involuntarily move closer to the large hole.

Hua Qiang raised his hand, clenched his fist, and then, with a punch imbued with the Time Acceleration, he threw it.

A deafening roar erupted as Hua Qiang shattered the giant mouth in mid-air with a single punch.

Woof!

A bloodcurdling scream followed by two Star Herding Dog echoed through the space as Hua Qiang smashed the muzzle open with a single punch.

The powerful impact sent his body flying backward again, slamming heavily against the Sealing Array wall once more.

With a loud bang, the great formation shook violently, and the entire space was instantly thrown into chaos, with clouds flying and waves surging.

"Ah—this immortal lord will fight you to the death!"

"Swallow Heaven Devour Earth!"

The Star Herding Dog then revealed its true form, a giant dog the size of a small mountain standing above the clouds, and then its blood-red maw, many times larger than before, swallowed the entire world in one gulp.

Hua Qiang and Yan Ruyu suddenly felt everything go black, and then found themselves in a pitch-black space.

This space was incredibly foul-smelling, and contained many undigested corpse remnants, bone fragments, scabbard fat, and so on.

Yan Ruyu immediately vomited.

Hua Qiang's lips curled up slightly. This guy was courting death; how dare he swallow him whole.

With a flick of his wrist, a long, black spear appeared in his hand.

The moment the Blood Demon Spear appeared, the pitch-black space shook violently, followed by the terrified cry of the Star Herding Dog.

"You, how could you possibly have the Blood Demon Spear?"

"You bastard, get out of my belly right now!"

But why would Hua Qiang pay any attention to him?

The Blood Demon Spear churned violently inside the dog's belly, tearing the dark space to shreds, causing blood to gush out.

The spear continuously devoured the blood, flesh, and Spiritual Power from the Star Herding Dog's body.

The Star Herding Dog writhed in pain within the nebula, smashing cloud clusters to pieces, filling the entire space with screams of agony.

His body was constantly being torn open, and the next moment, his body exploded, with severed limbs scattered everywhere.

Hua Qiang and his companion finally appeared, and looking at the Star Herding Dog, who was beyond dead, they couldn't help but feel sorry for it.

The demonic beasts of the Starry Sky Realm possess extremely rich Spiritual Power within their flesh and blood; it cannot be wasted.

"Yu'er, light the fire, let's roast some meat!"
