Ji Hao said confidently, "Come on, let me see what you're capable of!"
"Human pet, tremble!"
Ji Hao taunted, "You're just a mangy mutt with no fur. Why are you acting like some big bad wolf?"
"Woof woof woof!"
He hated it most when others mentioned his tail. His nose nearly twisted with anger. He had always been the one mocking others—when had anyone ever mocked him during an argument?
"Come on, let me see how tough your hide is, you mutt."
"Ah, let go, you mutt!"
Ji Hao felt like crying as he repeatedly punched the Black Emperor's dog head.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
This time, he had truly let his guard down. He had not expected this mutt to be so formidable, and in a moment of carelessness, he got bitten.
But thinking about it, even Ye Fan and Duan De had been unable to escape his bloody jaws. Ye Fan had been nothing much back then, but Duan De was different. Even if he had forgotten everything from his past, he was still an expert in archaeology and tomb raiding.
With all his skills, even Powerful Experts might not have been able to catch him. Yet even so, he had been bitten by this damned dog.
Ji Hao once again used the Great Void Technique and broke free from the Black Emperor's bloody jaws.
"Human pet, tremble!"
The man and dog once again began their peak confrontation. Neither used Divine Techniques, relying solely on close combat. Ji Hao did not bully the Black Emperor with his higher cultivation. Their physical bodies both far surpassed those of ordinary Powerful Experts, and the battle was incredibly fierce.
The Black Emperor had been baptized by Great Emperor Wu Shi's essence blood and had undergone Nirvana rebirth. Whether in realm or other aspects, he was far from ordinary. Unfortunately, his cultivation after Nirvana was insufficient, and he could not even fly now.
Ji Hao was even more remarkable. As a super Emperor's Son, after entering the Four Extremes, he had initially awakened his Great Emperor bloodline. Although controlling two Quasi-Emperor Weapons had nearly exhausted his Divine Power, the Black Emperor still could not break through his physical body.
One had to know that even Ye Fan at the Four Extremes realm would bleed nonstop after being bitten by the Black Emperor.
"If this young master hadn't run out of Divine Power, could you damned dog have lasted even one exchange before me?!"
"Just what kind of background do you have, kid? How is your body even tougher than the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body?" the Black Emperor asked, clutching his jaws.
"And what kind of background do you have? You're just a mutt, yet you're almost on par with the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body."
Far away, Ye Fan, who was cultivating in Lingxu Paradise, involuntarily sneezed.
"Ye, we've already entered the cultivation world. How did you still catch a cold?"
"I don't know either. Could I really have caught a cold?" Ye Fan was completely baffled.
As the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, ever since entering the cultivation world, his body had grown stronger by the day. Tearing apart wolves with his hands and trampling tigers and leopards beneath his feet were no challenge at all.
Yet he could actually be affected by a mere cold.
How strange!
"Woof! Hand over those two Medicine Kings now, or else! If I can't bite you to death, human pet, tremble!" The Black Emperor opened his bloody jaws. Enduring two punches that left stars spinning before his eyes, he pounced forward and bit Ji Hao directly on the calf.
In his view, those Medicine Kings had all been left behind by the Great Emperor for him or the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo. He could not let Ji Hao take them for nothing.
Of course, given the Black Emperor's temperament, he probably would have pocketed them himself before the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo ever arrived.
Ji Hao was bitten by the Black Emperor once again and said helplessly, "I got bitten by a damn dog again."
"If I'd known, I wouldn't have fought this damned dog. Couldn't I have just flown away?"
"Now look at this. I got bitten by a dog." Ji Hao had a terrible headache.
As an Emperor's Son, how could he possibly be unable to defeat a mere black dog? He simply had not gone for the kill.
He had originally only wanted to see for himself one of the two greatest comic figures in Shrouding the Heavens, alongside Duan De. Who could have expected that he would end up getting bitten by a dog?
A person should not be too much like Duan De, and a dog should not be too much like the Black Emperor. Though it had only been a short time, Ji Hao had already learned just how shameless the Black Emperor was.
"Damned dog, do you really think this young master needed to fight you for so long?"
Seeing that he could not damage the Black Emperor's copper skin and iron bones with his fists, he struck down with his palm—Void Great Handprint!
Because there was little Divine Power left in Ji Hao's Sea of Bitterness, the pitch-black handprint was not very large, but it was unbelievably fast.
Bang!
With a deafening blast, the Black Emperor's entire body was slapped into the ground, unable to move.
"My lifelong reputation has been ruined by you."
Whenever he thought of certain future scenes, Ji Hao nearly went mad.
"On the Emperor Road, unrivaled and without equal, I will defeat every Heavenly Prodigy in my path. Who in this world can withstand a single move from me?"
"You got bitten by a dog."
"Proving the Dao in the Mortal World, I shall be immortal in the Human World. After living nine lives in defiance of fate, I shall become the Universe's number one Red Dust Immortal!"
"You got bitten by a dog."
"An End-of-the-Road Immortal Emperor—so what if Bizarre Living Beings appear? I shall suppress them all with one sword!"
"You got bitten by a dog."
At the thought of such scenes, Ji Hao wanted nothing more than to grind this mutt's bones to dust. How was that any different from having been beaten by a monkey?
"If I don't leave a deep impression on you today, I'll take your surname!" Ji Hao said viciously.
He took out the Lihuo Divine Furnace and smashed the Black Emperor unconscious before he could even get back on his feet.
The Black Emperor slowly woke up and smelled a fragrance. "Woof woof woof, what is that smell? It smells so good!"
The Black Emperor opened his eyes and discovered that he was tied to a stone pillar, his four limbs bound by a rope-like Saint Weapon.
"Don't worry. You won't be able to break free from this Demon-Binding Rope."
The Demon-Binding Rope was a weapon-refining method recorded in the Wa Huang Scripture. Once bound by it, not even a Sage could break free.
"Mutt, you're finally awake." Ji Hao smiled as he sharpened a knife.
The Black Emperor, who had just woken up, was still somewhat dazed. "Woof, human pet, what is that fragrant thing? Hurry up and let this emperor have a taste."
"Dog meat!"
"Dog meat? What dog meat?" The Black Emperor had an ominous feeling.
"Mutt meat!"
"Mutt! Awooo, brat, you actually dare eat this emperor's meat!"
"Nonsense, I haven't eaten any. It's just that I haven't roasted meat in a long time. Since there was an ingredient lying here, I decided to use it for practice."
"Looking at it now, this young master's cooking skills are still as good as ever."
"Brat, release this emperor at once, or I'll make you regret it."
"Come on, come on, I'm waiting." Ji Hao smiled as he sharpened the knife.
Scrape, scrape, scrape!
The sharpening grew increasingly piercing, sparks flying from the blade and whetstone.
"Brat, what is that?"
"A knife. A Great Ability Artifact. It hasn't been used in too long, so I'm sharpening it."
"Brat, why are you sharpening a knife?" Bound hand and foot, the Black Emperor's sense of foreboding intensified, and his voice trembled.
"I tested this knife just now. It still wasn't sharp enough—it couldn't even slice flesh properly."
"But you really don't seem like an ordinary mutt. Your recovery is quite fast!"
"Of course! This emperor is the future Demon Emperor. Brat, seeing that you have decent talent, become this emperor's human pet!"
"You're at death's door, yet you still dare talk tough!"
"Brat, what are you going to do?" The ominous feeling grew heavier.
A bright smile spread across Ji Hao's lips. "I wonder if you've ever heard of neutering?"
"Woof woof woof, don't come any closer!"
