Urban Wolf King

Chapter 1253 1164: What Are Dogs Afraid Of?

The bloodthirsty aura from the sky descended too swiftly, arriving instantly in front of Wang Yan.

Just now, inside the palace, Wang Yan was overly focused, so he didn't notice where this bloodthirsty aura came from.

At that moment, Wang Yan's body flickered, disappearing from the original spot and reappearing dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye.

With a "thud," the bloodthirsty aura landed on the ground, not as a powerful attack, just raising a cloud of dust.

Wang Yan looked forward and found the source of the bloodthirsty aura was just a person.

This person was covered in blood, their face battered and bruised, completely unrecognizable.

Upon closer scrutiny, Wang Yan immediately recognized him; it was Luo Yuan.

At this moment, Luo Yuan was on the ground, clearly heavily injured, able only to lie there, his eyes darting back and forth, fixated on Wang Yan.

Judging from Luo Yuan's injuries, they weren't caused just now when he landed; he had been beaten long before.

Hence, Wang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Come out."

Upon hearing Wang Yan, another person emerged from behind the palace with a gloomy expression, but his eyes revealed a look of disdain: "Kid, you truly are cunning. Unfortunately, unfortunately, you ran into me. You cannot escape my tracking."

The man walking out had triangular eyes, a pointed chin, sparse hair, with a sinister gleam in his eyes; he was none other than Yin Yang Half-Venerable.

Yin Yang Half-Venerable stared at Wang Yan coldly, "I have to admit, I misjudged. Among the demon cultivators of Qinrong Palace, you are the most cunning. But after meeting me, your cunning will be of no use."

Just then, Luo Yuan groaned weakly from the ground, "Half-Venerable sir, I didn't lie to you. He's disguised, his cultivation is high, and he's extremely cunning. You should kill him quickly."

Yin Yang Half-Venerable shouted, "Shut up."

Then, he turned to Wang Yan, "In this second palace, you acquired twenty-seven magical treasures. Hand over all twenty-seven treasures, plus that black spear, and I may spare your life."

Wang Yan shook his head lightly, "What if I don't?"

Yin Yang Half-Venerable laughed, "If you don't, the outcome is clear. Before me, you can't fight or flee; you'll only face death."

Wang Yan raised an eyebrow and shook his head, jesting, "Perhaps I can't defeat you, but it's not certain I can't escape."

Yin Yang Half-Venerable failed to detect Wang Yan's jest. Despite Luo Yuan claiming Wang Yan's cultivation was high, Yin Yang Half-Venerable didn't believe him.

Yin Yang Half-Venerable sneered, "I said, nobody can escape my tracking because my demon pattern is the Ancient Strange Beast Yin Yang Leopard."

"Ancient Strange Beast Yin Yang Leopard? Indeed, I haven't heard of it," Wang Yan admitted.

Seeing Wang Yan's surprise, Yin Yang Half-Venerable smiled, "Let me show you."

To thoroughly frighten Wang Yan, Yin Yang Half-Venerable shook, and his top fell away.

On his chest was a demon pattern.

This demon pattern depicted an exotic beast shaped like a dog but with thin legs, long waist, white fur covered in black spots.

Seeing this demon pattern, Luo Yuan immediately flattered, "Indeed, a strange beast, I've never seen one before."

However, Wang Yan stared at the demon pattern for a while then suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing Wang Yan's mocking expression, Yin Yang Half-Venerable scolded, "Why are you laughing?"

Wang Yan pointed at the exotic beast, "I thought it was something remarkable, but isn't this just a Dalmatian?"

"What Dalmatian, this is the Ancient Strange Beast Yin Yang Leopard!" roared Yin Yang Half-Venerable.

"It's a Dalmatian, I've seen people keep them," Wang Yan chuckled, knowing the demon pattern really was a Dalmatian, kept as a pet by ordinary families three thousand years later.

If Wang Yan didn't want to expose his identity, he would have taken Yin Yang Half-Venerable above ground to show him how his so-called Yin Yang Leopard was kept by ordinary people.

Infuriated by Wang Yan's mockery, Yin Yang Half-Venerable screamed, "I won't let you laugh; I'll show you my Yin Yang Leopard's power. Even if you beg for mercy, I won't spare you."

With that said, he transformed into black and white light and charged at Wang Yan.

Still not fully recovered from his laughter, Wang Yan faced Yin Yang Half-Venerable's attack, laughing, "I said, I might not beat you."

As Yin Yang Half-Venerable reached Wang Yan.

Yet before unloading his attack, Wang Yan punched; his fist moved like lightning, striking Yin Yang Half-Venerable's face.

Though Yin Yang Half-Venerable charged swiftly at Wang Yan, his recoil was even faster.

The black and white light, with a "thud," slammed back into the ground.

The light disbanded, revealing Yin Yang Half-Venerable's frightened expression.

Then Wang Yan calmly said, "I said, I might not beat you, because I definitely will."

Seeing this, half-sitting Luo Yuan paled, like witnessing Wang Yan for the first time.

While aware of Wang Yan's high cultivation, Luo Yuan never expected a Half-Venerable expert to be defeated in one move by Wang Yan.

For a moment, Luo Yuan's heart clenched, realizing his foolishness in provoking Wang Yan again.

Reflecting on his stupid words earlier, he wished he could slap himself.

At that moment, Yin Yang Half-Venerable roared, flipped his body, transforming into black and white light again, charging at Wang Yan.

But this light, reaching Wang Yan, was kicked back once more.

Yet soon, the black and white light charged again.

No matter how fast it came, it was sent back faster.

Within the black and white light faintly appeared Yin Yang Half-Venerable's form, battered purple-blue from Wang Yan's blows.

While Wang Yan fought Yin Yang Half-Venerable, he moved elegantly, casually taunting, "I said your demon pattern is a dog. If a leopard, speed wouldn't be this slow."

Originally furious from being beaten by Wang Yan, hearing his words, Yin Yang Half-Venerable's anger erupted, stopping the black and white light, and spewing blood.

Seeing Yin Yang Half-Venerable defeated and bleeding, Luo Yuan felt suicidal.

Biting his teeth, Yin Yang Half-Venerable muttered, "Fine, fine, I'll let you see if my demon pattern is a dog."

With those words, his body flickered; the demon pattern on his chest flew, hovered above, and exposed four soul stars spinning slowly.

Orange, yellow, green, cyan.

Four soul stars emitting a vivid glow.

Shaking his head, Wang Yan said, "Fine, since you revealed your demon pattern, I'll show mine. But first, do you know what dogs fear?"
