Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 698 The Premature Native Puppy

Chapter 698 The Premature Native Puppy


He saw the flaming Qi Seed in his Middle Dantian, in the form of a Bi Fang, spread out its wings. Endless Qi flowed out of his Dantian in several rivulets, surging wildly along his Ren Meridian channel.


Ding Hao felt an aggressive force growing in his body.


This power was even faster, more aggressive and more turbulent than the Heaven Fire Qi. It spun within Ding Hao’s body, making him feel invincible, as if he could incinerate the whole world.


He opened his eyes.


Endless flames were swirling around him, making him look like a War G.o.d bathed in flames.


“You’re finally awake, lad! If you don’t wake up soon, our plan will fall through!” Uncle Tianshu’s impatient shout rang out in his ears.


Ding Hao retracted the flames all over his body, looked up at the sky, and discovered that a red sun was setting on the western horizon.


“A day has pa.s.sed?” Ding Hao was surprised. He remembered that when he first began integrating the Bi Fang’s blood essence, it should have been around dawn. Now, the red sun was setting in the west. More than 20 hours must have pa.s.sed.


“A day?” Uncle Tianshu exclaimed exaggeratedly. “Are you kidding me? It’s been three days! If you don’t wake up, I can only put you in the black pot and take you along with us. We’re so far behind the rest. If things go on like this, all the divine h.o.a.rds in the Sacred Hall ruins will be grabbed by the others. We won’t get anything!”


Three days?


Ding Hao was shocked.


Had it really been such a long time?


Immediately, he took out a set of clothes and put them on. Ding Hao had no time to experience his power after integrating the Bi Fang’s blood essence. Urged on by Uncle Tianshu and Evil Moon, he hurried on with his journey.


Originally, the Saber Master and the Sword Master had wanted to talk to Ding Hao about the rusted sword’s change, but now, it seemed they had to postpone the talk.


Ding Hao was also slowly experiencing the new power in his body.


After integrating the Bi Fang’s blood essence, once Ding Hao activated the magic Beast Transform, he could turn into a Bi Fang with the ability to control fire. He could also fly at the speed of a Bi Fang, traveling several thousand kilometers with each glide of the wings, at an insanely fast speed. This would surely prove useful for travel or escape.


“Woof, woof, woof!”


Suddenly, there was a barking of a dog.


“Huh? Where did this dog come from?” Ding Hao was baffled.


“Meow. It’s my new pet.” Evil Moon, the fat cat, proudly showed off its new companion.


Evil Moon took out a black puppy, no bigger than a palm, from the storage s.p.a.ce of its abdomen. The suffocating puppy was already rolling its eyes. It was a most ordinary native dog, fat and cute. Clutched in Evil Moon’s claws, it was flailing its fat limbs, unable to free itself from the cat’s grasp.


A Chinese field puppy adopted by a cat?


“Meow. It’s cute, isn’t it?” Evil Moon was very proud.


Ding Hao’s face darkened, and he felt that this little fat cat was really getting ridiculous. “Aren’t cats and dogs old enemies? Who has ever heard of a cat raising a pet dog? This is more perverted than what it used to do, crying out for humans to pamper it.”


“Woof, woof, woof…” The little black dog struggled desperately, trying to free itself from Evil Moon’s demonic claws. It stuck out a dangling purple tongue, gasping frantically for breath.


“Where did this puppy come from? Why do you suddenly want to rear a dog?” Ding Hao was puzzled.


“While you were practicing martial arts, I picked it up somewhere by the campsite. G.o.d knows where it came from…” Evil Moon replied casually.


Ding Hao was speechless, but he suddenly thought of another question. “By the way, did you just keep it in a s.p.a.ce Bag?”


“Yes, meow. Anything wrong with that?” Evil Moon ma.s.saged the black puppy like it was kneading mud.


At first, Ding Hao was speechless. Then he said, “You can only put dead things in a s.p.a.ce Bag. If you put living things in it, they will suffocate to death.”


The s.p.a.ce Bag had been refined by him personally, with a very large storage capacity. Refining this was just warm-up practice for Ding Hao, and the materials he used were also not rare, so it was not a high-end s.p.a.ce receptacle. There was no air inside, and any living things left inside would definitely suffocate to death after some time.


“Says who? I’ve left it there for two days, and it’s still fine, isn’t it?” Evil Moon rolled its eyes scornfully.


Ding Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of another question. This black puppy was locked in a s.p.a.ce Bag just now, yet why could they still hear its barks through the bag?


Could it be…


Ding Hao’s heart skipped a beat. He waved his hand and grabbed the black puppy from Evil Moon’s claws.


“Meow, don’t take away my toy…” Evil Moon rushed over furiously, but was sent flying by Ding Hao’s Qi.


“Woof, woof!” The black puppy squatted on Ding Hao’s palm, barking clearly and loudly. It regarded Ding Hao as a savior who had rescued it from Evil Moon’s demonic claws. Its small purple tongue licked his palm very intimately, its little black tail wagging like a spinning windmill.


Although it looked like an ordinary black puppy, its black onyx-like eyes were clear like a quiet mountain spring in late fall. Its gaze from a 45-degree angle had a heartbreaking purity in it, like a crystal under the sun, endearing everyone to it at one glance.


Ding Hao released his Divine Senses and probed the black puppy’s body, but detected nothing unusual.


It was indeed an ordinary Chinese field puppy.


Could he have guessed wrong?


Yet why had this newborn puppy appeared in such a dangerous place like the Bone-burying Forest? In this terrible place, even an ant could devour it in 10 minutes, leaving it as a pile of skin.


“Let me have a look.” While flying at high speed, Uncle Tianshu took over the black puppy very solemnly.


He carefully examined the puppy once through, nodded, and said thoughtfully, “Well, it’s indeed so.”


Ding Hao was delighted and asked, “What did you find out, senior?”


“Um.” Uncle Tianshu was looking serious, which was quite a rare feat for him. He said, “I did discover something.”


“What did you discover?” Ding Hao asked anxiously. Could it be that this black puppy was really some rare species of the Untainted Land?


Uncle Tianshu chuckled and said, “I can tell you for sure that it’s a premature puppy.”


“Huh?” Ding Hao did not respond for a moment.


“Don’t you understand what premature means? Its mother gave birth to it early. It hasn’t completely developed yet in its mother’s womb.” Uncle Tianshu looked at Ding Hao as if looking at an idiot.


“I…” Ding Hao almost plunged into the boundless green forest below.


“Of course I know what premature means, but after examining it for such a long time, you only came to such a worthless conclusion? Were you, Uncle Tianshu, also a premature baby?”


Like he was reading Ding Hao’s mind with a glance, Uncle Tianshu continued in a very contemptuous tone, “You mean you don’t even understand this? This puppy may have an extraordinary origin, or be of an extremely n.o.ble bloodline. Otherwise, it couldn’t have appeared in this frightful Bone-burying Forest. But due to some reason, it didn’t develop fully in the womb, and so has not inherited any bloodline at all, leading to a congenital deficiency. It’s destined to be a pitiful weakling.”


Only then did Ding Hao understand what Uncle Tianshu meant.


Ding Hao took the black puppy from Uncle Tianshu and watched the little fellow wag its tail intimately, licking his palm. The itchy and warm sensation made Ding Hao feel a strange sudden tugging at his heart.


It was clearly a pitiful creature.


Destined to be a loser.


Destined to suffer a tragic fate the moment it was born.


But obviously, it knew nothing about its own fate. It was just trying to ingratiate itself with Ding Hao, trying to please him instinctively.


“Well, it’s your luck to have met me. I’ll take you out of the Bone-burying Forest. If you stay here, I’m afraid those ferocious beasts will have you for dinner before dark.” Ding Hao’s heart was touched.


Ding Hao returned the black puppy to Evil Moon, and told the cat to take good care of it without torturing it. Once they got out of the Bone-burying Forest, he would find a trustworthy family to adopt the puppy.


“This is, meow, my pet. I won’t give it away.” Evil Moon carefully clasped the black puppy in its arms and bared its fangs at Ding Hao.


Ding Hao ignored it.


This fat cat had only a three-minute zeal for everything.


He believed that after a few days, Evil Moon would lose interest in this black puppy.


“Hurry up.” Uncle Tianshu urged impatiently.


They had wasted too much time waiting for Ding Hao to integrate the Bi Fang’s blood essence, and fallen far behind the pack. If things went on like this, and if someone else got there first and discovered the Sacred Hall ruins, they would lose out.


The two men and the cat sped up.


In the end, Ding Hao simply took out his beta-stage Qi motorcycle, Black Lightning. It vroomed like a motor, as two long trails of fire spurted out from its engine, carrying Uncle Tianshu and the Demon King, Evil Moon, away. It raced at lightning speed deep into the Bone-burying Forest.


Black Lightning was indeed extremely fast. Like a bolt of lightning as its name suggested, it whizzed through the slightly overcast sky.


Terrifying giant beasts kept coming out of the boundless forest below, trying to swallow Black Lightning.


Ding Hao guffawed and maneuvered the motorcycle, making all kinds of difficult movements. In the air, he made a lovely skid, accelerating and drifting again to avoid the mouths of these terrible beast mutants, racing wildly all the way.


He felt totally satisfied.


It was like reckless car racing on a highway in his previous life, or playing a violent simulated motorcycle game. He had been in this world for a long time, and certain memories of his former life had gradually blurred. Finally, Ding Hao had discovered a familiar feeling.


Uncle Tianshu screamed eccentrically in the back seat, his tousled gray hair flapping in the strong wind. He enjoyed this feeling very much.


“Grunt!”


A thunderous grunt rose to the sky from the boundless sea of trees below. A ma.s.sive Golden Baboon with six arms and huge fangs resembling chilling machetes moved forward to ram against Black Lightning.


Ding Hao rushed toward the Golden Baboon without dodging. Just when he was about to reach the baboon, he gripped one of Black Lightning’s front b.u.mpers, pulling out a silver b.u.mper with a backhand. A cold light burst out. It turned out to be a long gigantic sword.
