Encountering the Little Puppy Again

Since I've been discovered, I might as well stop hiding and walked out.

When I saw the other person clearly, we both exclaimed in unison, "It's you."

I knew his back looked so familiar, I'd seen this person before.

It was 'Little Puppy', he had come to my house last time with an arrogant old Taoist priest.

At this moment, Little Puppy asked me with a grim expression, "You're not dead?"

"Do you really want me dead? And did you kill Qianqian and these girls?" I retorted.

A cruel smile appeared on Little Puppy's face, "Yes, I did it all.

It's a shame you didn't die, which is a bit of a surprise, but it doesn't matter.

You walked right into my trap, saving me a lot of trouble."

I asked furiously, "Why did you kill Qianqian, and why did you bring her body here?"

Little Puppy seemed to lose patience and said with annoyance, "I originally wanted her soul to refine it into a 'Ghost Cultivator'.

What I didn't expect was for her to mutate and break free from the seal and escape.

I thought all my efforts were in vain, but then I discovered her body was a 'Pure Yin Body'.

This could be considered another compensation from heaven.

Of course, what I didn't expect even more was that you would willingly walk into my hands.

Alright, I've told you everything you wanted to know, now please go die.

Oh, right, I'll make good use of your body and soul too."

With that, Little Puppy burst into laughter, then suddenly stopped and abruptly looked up, throwing a punch at me.

Fast, too fast. The moment before, he was still over ten meters away from me.

Suddenly, I saw a fist enlarge in my pupils. I only had time to raise my arms to block.

With a "bang," my arm first felt a sharp pain.

Then my whole body was sent flying backward, smashing hard against the cave wall. As I landed, I coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Enduring the intense pain, I spoke, "You're Wind Attribute, so that's why you have such speed, right?"

Little Puppy said proudly, "That's right, you've got some insight after all.

I reached the 'Righteous Path Realm' after studying with my Master for just one year, and I also awakened the Wind Attribute.

Among all attributes, excluding Lightning Attribute, Wind is ranked first."

I stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth, "Oh... then let's see what attribute I am."

After saying that, I spread my arms to my sides, forming my hands into claws.

I mobilized the Spiritual Energy within my body and released the Lightning Attribute.

Instantly, my palms crackled with electricity and emitted a "pitter-patter" sound.

Before he could recover from his surprise, I lunged at his face with my claws. He only managed to raise his hand to block.

I swiped down fiercely with my claw. Immediately, a burnt smell filled his nostrils, accompanied by a scream.

He retreated and stood in place. I saw four deep, bone-revealing scratches on his arm.

White smoke billowed from them, and the pain caused a fine layer of sweat to form on his forehead.

He looked at me in astonishment, "Impossible, how can you be Lightning Attribute? It hasn't appeared for hundreds of years."

Then he shouted frantically, "Impossible, impossible.

I will never allow anyone to be better than me. You must die today."

With that, his clothes fluttered as if in a strong wind, and his aura surged.

With a raise of his hand, an ancient long sword flew from a stone platform into his grasp.

He then pointed the tip of the sword at me, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "You must die today."

I was intimidated by his aura, and furthermore, I was unarmed.

I quickly picked up the shovel that had fallen to the ground earlier and looked at him as if facing a formidable enemy.

At this moment, Qianqian came out. Little Puppy froze, then said with surprise, "You're back too? That's great."

He then smiled and said to me, "I must say, kid, I really have to thank you.

Without you, I would have wasted all my efforts. Fortunately, you delivered yourself.

And you're Lightning Attribute. You haven't grown yet, so I can eliminate this unknown threat."

I became a little anxious and asked Qianqian, "Why did you come out? He's very powerful, go back inside quickly."

"Brother A Tong, I want to help you..."

I was both anxious and angry. Fighting him was already difficult enough.

Now that Qianqian suddenly appeared, I couldn't even take care of myself, let alone split my attention.

"You still want to go back? It's too late."

With that, the Little Puppy unleashed a black talisman paper.

The talisman paper formed a circle around Qianqian, trapping her inside in an instant.

Anxious, I channeled my Spiritual Energy and punched towards the talisman paper.

The talisman paper rippled like water, showing no signs of breaking at all.

Just then, a sharp pain shot through my waist. I turned around to look.

The sword in the Little Puppy's hand was already inserted into my waist and abdomen.

Qianqian cried out loudly from inside, "Brother A Tong... Brother A Tong..."

I convulsed in pain, then gritted my teeth and lunged towards the Little Puppy's neck.

He was too fast, instantly appearing four or five meters away from me.

I was in pain and furious, furious that Qianqian had come out without warning.

It caught me off guard and made me flustered, and then my abdomen was struck by a sword.

I clutched my wound, and the shovel slipped from my grasp, but blood continued to flow out from between my fingers.

I fumbled in my pocket for a Blood Stopping Talisman and pressed it against the wound. The bleeding finally stopped.

But it hurt terribly. I shakily straightened myself, thinking that I had to fight for my life this time, or there would be no escape.

The Little Puppy said coldly, "There's no point struggling. You can't break that talisman formation.

Unless you can kill me, but you're severely wounded now, so killing me is out of the question."

I pursed my lips and didn't reply. I knew he was trying to provoke me.

But looking at his playful expression, I couldn't help but want to curse him out.

I looked at the Little Puppy's smug face and asked, "What's your name?"

"Since you're about to die, I'll tell you who I am.

So you can die with your eyes open. Listen carefully, your killer's name is 'Huang Baibin'."

With that, he drew his sword and charged at me. I ignored the pain in my body and channeled my Spiritual Energy to meet him.

With a "ding," my hand firmly grasped his sword, empowered by my Lightning Attribute magic.

I wasn't afraid of him hurting my hand at all. He tried a few times but found he couldn't pull the sword out of my grip.

Then he raised his leg and kicked towards my face. The kick came with a "whoosh."

I thought, What if he lands this kick? I raised my other hand and grabbed his kicking leg.

His eyes narrowed, then hardened. He suddenly kicked his raised leg towards my head, while my hand was still gripping his leg.

In that instant, I let go of the sword, and staggered back seven or eight steps.

His kick landed on my right cheek, and my vision in my right eye immediately became blurry.
