Yu Tianlong watched Cho'Gath grapple with the Fang Flame Hound and could not help breaking into a cold sweat for him.
As Yu Tianlong saw it, just how old was Cho'Gath right now? Besides, his own rank-three Soul Power alone told him how wide the gap between the two was.
After all, he and Cho'Gath were one. With his own Soul Power so low, how powerful could Cho'Gath possibly be?
But as time passed, Yu Tianlong realized he seemed to have been wrong and had underestimated creatures of The Void.
"Roar-!"
The Fang Flame Hound clamped onto Cho'Gath's forelimb, its bite piercing straight through it. Feeling the pain, Cho'Gath let out a furious roar.
Then, enduring the intense pain, he pinned the Fang Flame Hound down with his three remaining forelimbs, opened his huge mouth full of sharp teeth, squeezed his eyes shut, and started eating.
The Fang Flame Hound was dumbfounded. Come on, buddy, I'm still alive! Isn't opening your mouth and just eating me a little much?
Cho'Gath paid no attention to any of that. He took another bite, tore off a huge chunk of flesh, and swallowed it without chewing at all!
The pain also brought out the Fang Flame Hound's ferocity.
A wave of scorching Qi suddenly erupted from its body, and its red fur gave off a faint fiery glow.
Bolstered by this state, the Fang Flame Hound copied Cho'Gath, opening its mouth to tear and devour!
So we're seeing who's more ruthless? Who's afraid of whom?!
At the sight, Cho'Gath's tiny eyes filled with enormous confusion.
How was this thing planning to fight me?
Wasn't it just courting death?
Look at my teeth, then look at yours!
Sensing Cho'Gath's thoughts, Yu Tianlong also took a closer look.
Cho'Gath's teeth were incredibly dense and sharp. His whole mouth was a meat grinder!
The Fang Flame Hound's teeth, on the other hand, had nothing remarkable about them apart from two protruding, slender fangs. If it ambushed someone and bit their neck, teeth like those would be more powerful and better suited to killing in a single strike.
But with the two trading bites, Yu Tianlong genuinely could not find any comparison between them.
And seeing the Fang Flame Hound restrained by Cho'Gath yet stubbornly insisting on trading bites, Yu Tianlong's mind immediately began to race.
He had completely misjudged things earlier. He had never expected Cho'Gath to be so fierce, actually holding his own against a Hundred-Year Soul Beast.
But that misjudgment was perfectly normal. After all, no one could have imagined that with only rank-three Soul Power, their Martial Soul could already fight a Hundred-Year Soul Beast.
Now that an opportunity had presented itself, however, Yu Tianlong naturally would not stand idly by. He spoke directly to Cho'Gath in his mind:
"Little Cho, make sure you hold on tight in a moment. I'll help you!"
The instant Cho'Gath heard Yu Tianlong's voice, he knew what his master wanted to do!
He immediately stopped devouring the Fang Flame Hound's flesh so he could restrain it completely.
Opening his huge mouth, Cho'Gath clamped firmly onto the Fang Flame Hound's muzzle, driving his pincerlike claws deep into its flesh.
To guard against anything going wrong, Cho'Gath even gave up fighting and hooked his thighs around the Fang Flame Hound, hugging it tightly.
He looked just like a human child in a fight.
Yu Tianlong naturally would not let an opportunity like this slip by. While the Fang Flame Hound frantically struggled to break free, he circled straight behind it with his sword in hand.
Aiming at the Fang Flame Hound's most vulnerable chrysanthemum, he thrust it in with every ounce of strength he had!
"Take my Thousand Years of Death!!!!!"
"Yelp!!!!!!!!!!"
As an utterly agonized scream rang out, Yu Tianlong grew even more vigorous.
"That's for chasing me!!"
"That's for showing off!!"
"Behold my seven-hundred-and-twenty-degree spinning windmill!"
As he spoke, Yu Tianlong kept churning the sword.
Under Yu Tianlong's deranged assault, the Fang Flame Hound went from howling to whimpering, and finally to despair. The process lasted a full three minutes.
Looking at the Fang Flame Hound, now limp as mud, Yu Tianlong wiped the blood off his sword on its fur, then spat contemptuously.
"Now you know how formidable I am!"
Even though Cho'Gath was a Martial Soul, after seeing his master's move, he somehow felt that his own backside was no longer safe!
It was at that very moment that he decided he absolutely had to allocate a little more energy to evolving his rear in the future.
Absolutely!!!
He did not want an opponent using that move on him in battle!
Cho'Gath thought this silently. Yu Tianlong also sensed something and glanced at him, but could not make out his exact thoughts. He only felt that something was odd.
But now was not the time to discuss that. After all, they were in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the smell of blood could attract new predators at any moment.
So he immediately said:
"Little Cho, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and eat, or the Soul Power inside it will dissipate!"
Since Yu Tianlong had said so, Cho'Gath did not dare delay. Enduring the pain in his body, he began feasting.
Once Cho'Gath began eating, Yu Tianlong took out some wound medicine and carefully applied it to his injuries.
Cho'Gath would have won even without his intervention, but the cost of winning would have been too great.
Looking at those horrifying wounds, Yu Tianlong felt rather pained.
Sensing Yu Tianlong's actions and feelings, Cho'Gath paused in his eating, then turned back and gave Yu Tianlong a chuckle, spreading his huge mouth full of sharp teeth in a grin.
"Heh heh-"
Smack!
"Heh heh, my ass! You scared me!"
Yu Tianlong had been aching for him, but at the sight of that terrifying smile, he instinctively raised his hand and slapped him.
Cho'Gath also knew that his smile might not look all that pleasant. He immediately whimpered, then obediently returned to eating.
He did not even dare mouth off, terrified of getting slapped again!
While Cho'Gath ate, Yu Tianlong noticed something unusual.
The hideous wounds on Cho'Gath's body were actually healing rapidly.
At the sight, Yu Tianlong immediately furrowed his brows, then quickly relaxed them again.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Tianlong picked up his sword and cut a small wound in his thumb.
He paid no attention to the flowing blood and instead stared fixedly at the wound.
About a minute later, looking at his completely healed thumb, Yu Tianlong smiled-and felt hungry!
He actually possessed the same constitution as Cho'Gath, though eating would not make him evolve or increase his size.
But after being injured, he could rapidly recover from his wounds through food.
Especially here and now, this was nothing short of a divine skill!
After all, the Star Dou Great Forest was full of danger. A moment's carelessness could leave him injured or even dead!
Now that he could recover rapidly by consuming food, his safety had improved tremendously!
At that thought, Yu Tianlong patted Cho'Gath and said with a kindly expression:
"Little Cho, eat up. We'll find another target in a bit and make sure you eat well and have your fill!"
Cho'Gath looked at his master, the corners of his mouth twitching.
So my master was a master of changing faces, too. He had only just hit me, and now he was being so kind.
Hah, men!
