In the distance, a massive ice dog had just killed several human powerhouses, when a sudden sense of dread washed over it. Moments later, it received a telepathic message from its youngest son: its eldest son was dead!
Grief and fury instantly engulfed it.
Suddenly, it transformed, its body swelling to several times its original size – its true Heavenly Dog form.
"Humans, I will have you all die!"
However, despite its rage, it was blocked by the Blood Dragon Army and could not advance, forced to roar threats from its current position.
After a long wait, all that could be heard was the ice dog's furious roars, vowing revenge, but it never arrived.
The group exchanged bewildered glances, not understanding.
"This dog is truly cowardly, only barking and not biting."
"It's just impotent rage. I think this so-called beast noble is self-proclaimed, just trash."
"Look, the fight over there is intense. It looks like the Triangle Tribe is attacking."
The crowd looked into the distance and indeed saw a Triangle Tribe powerhouse flying in the sky. It had transformed into a giant rhinoceros, charging headlong through the air.
Relying on its thick hide and tough flesh, ordinary beasts could not stop its advance.
Upon seeing this, the group shifted their gaze slightly, feeling a sense of familiarity.
Li Qiudao of the Blood Dragon Army shouted, "Fellow comrades, we have spotted friendly forces! Follow me and charge!"
"Charge!"
Without any further words, their morale surged, and they charged forward.
On the beast side, being ambushed by the Triangle Tribe threw them into disarray, greatly reducing their morale.
With one side's morale soaring and the other's plummeting, the outcome was predictable.
Like a diamond drill, the Blood Dragon Army took only half an hour to forcefully bore through the enemy forces ahead.
Upon witnessing this, the Winged Dragon commander was furious and personally engaged, charging towards the Blood Dragon Army.
Li Qiudao was not to be outdone and intercepted the approaching enemy.
At this moment, Xi Zhuang, the chief of the Triangle Tribe, saw this and also charged forward, intending to aid Li Qiudao.
Along the way, it was blocked by an ice dog.
"You worthless cur, I will certainly slay you today!" the ice dog roared furiously. "After I kill you, I shall offer sacrifices to my son's spirit in heaven!"
Xi Zhuang, the chief of the Triangle Tribe, muttered, "Isn't it *you* who's the dog?"
"You court death!"
The ice dog transformed into its Heavenly Dog true form, its forehead black moon glowing with dark light, and charged towards Xi Zhuang.
Xi Zhuang was equally fierce. With a roar, its entire body turned golden, as if cast in gold, indicating formidable defense.
It lowered its head and charged at the ice dog, while the black moon also flew towards it.
As the dark light touched Xi Zhuang, the golden color on its surface immediately began to contend with the dark light.
Xi Zhuang yelped in pain, crying out, "It burns! It burns!"
Sizzling corrosion sounds continuously erupted, causing it to cry out in agony.
The ice dog's lips curled into a smile. This Moon Devouring skill possessed extreme corrosive properties, rumored to corrode anything. If not for Xi Zhuang's formidable defense, it would have been completely corroded in an instant.
However, Xi Zhuang was no pushover either. Its front hooves glowed with two beams of white light, instantly accelerating.
"Imperial Charge!"
Its speed was like lightning, and in a flash, it broke free from the black light's embrace and closed in on the ice dog.
"I'll smash you to death, smash you to death!!!" Its eyes turned blood-red, harboring a deep hatred for the ice dog before it. These creatures had slaughtered its kin, forcing them into exile and unable to return home.
It had been unable to defeat that Winged Dragon back then, but it was confident in its ability to defeat this dog.
BOOM!
The ice dog was greatly alarmed, its pupils shrinking. It only had time to erect an ice barrier before being sent flying.
Seeing that it hadn't killed it, Xi Zhuang lowered its head and charged again.
"Imperial Charge!"
BOOM!
Like a fleeting bolt of lightning, it was about to strike the ice dog again.
The ice dog, in a panic, chanted, "Moon Return!"
With a soft hum, the black moon instantly returned to its forehead. It then chanted again, "Moon Devour."
The black moon reappeared, emitting a terrifying dark light, and met Xi Zhuang head-on.
BOOM!
They collided, and Xi Zhuang let out a pained howl, as if suffering immense agony.
The other two ninth-tier Triangle Tribe members behind it saw this and were about to come to its aid.
At this moment, the ice dog retracted the black moon once more, and with extreme speed, unleashed Moon Devour again, forcing back the two supporting ninth-tier Triangle Tribe members.
It slowly approached Xi Zhuang, gathering a mouthful of ice, intending to finish it off.
Suddenly, Xi Zhuang spat out a broken horn. The ice dog was shocked and quickly retreated, sensing a threat of death from the broken horn.
Seeing it retreat, Xi Zhuang let out a sigh of relief and quickly dragged its injured body back. Only after retreating did it look down at its own body.
Although its defense was astounding and it hadn't lost any limbs, one of its horns had broken.
It looked at the broken horn in its hand and carefully placed it on the broken end of its own horn.
A stream of light appeared at the fracture, connecting the broken horn to Xi Zhuang's horn.
This broken horn had a significant origin, left behind by the most powerful chief of their tribe in ancient times.
After being nurtured over time, it had become a treasure, intrinsically linked to Xi Zhuang's mind, capable of being launched to attack enemies.
Its speed was like lightning, and its hardness was immense, exceeding that of ninth-tier weapons and nearly reaching the level of a demigod artifact.
Such treasures were extremely rare on Blue Star, as it was a place with a very backward cultivation civilization, where no one could forge demigod artifacts.
This demonstrated the preciousness of this item. Unfortunately, the broken horn was not complete; with its current strength, it could only unleash one attack before being completely drained.
In the past, during the extermination of its tribe, it had used this treasure, but the Winged Dragon's extreme speed had allowed it to evade.
This time, it had no intention of using it against the Winged Dragon, but had instead targeted the ice dog. However, the ice dog was quite cautious and had sensed it beforehand, which was unexpected.
It seemed it would have to find another opportunity. For now, it would keep the broken horn attached to its own horn, as it was also fond of beauty.
On the other side.
Li Qiudao and the Winged Dragon commander had also engaged.
Their battle shook the heavens and earth.
The Winged Dragon's two pairs of wings flickered casually, making it seem to teleport as it vanished, its speed astonishing.
Li Qiudao could only defend after a hundred rounds.
At this point, Li Qiudao roared, "Form formation!"
The Blood Dragon Army behind him immediately began to arrange themselves, and soon, the Blood Dragon formation was complete!
"Roar!"
A blood dragon appeared, roaring as it flew towards Li Qiudao and merged into his body with a whoosh.
Immediately, blood energy enveloped him, his weapon was adorned with dragon patterns, and a dragon-shaped pattern appeared on his forehead.
Facing dragon with dragon, he held his saber upright and unleashed a strike with doubled power, cleaving downwards.
The Winged Dragon roared and immediately tried to evade, but the sword energy's sweep was too wide. Even if it dodged, it would still be injured by the residual force.
Sizzling sounds...
Wounds appeared on the Winged Dragon's body. It roared in anger, "Human, I will kill you today! Guards, surround and attack this person!"
Roar! Roar! Roar!!!
Immediately, three ninth-tier beasts were summoned from other locations and charged towards Li Qiudao.
Seeing this, Li Qiudao's expression changed drastically. "If you do not retreat today, we shall perish together!"
The Winged Dragon commander and the other beasts heard this and their hands instinctively weakened. They took a few steps back.
They had already developed a phobia of self-detonation.
Seeing this, Li Qiudao immediately transformed into a blood-red light and flew outwards.
The enemy was too strong to be defeated by force; retreat was the best course of action!
