However, the demon dog’s defense was too strong. Although the knife wound looked terrible, it only scratched the surface and did not cause any significant damage.
The remaining nine cultivators were all at the fourth rank of the Golden Immortal realm. They used a variety of weapons, including swords, knives, spears, and hammers. Their attacks, when they hit the demon dog monster, weren’t even able to penetrate its skin, only leaving white marks on its fur.
The demon dog let out a low growl, spitting out black poisonous mist from its gaping mouth. Wherever the mist passed, vegetation withered, the ground eroded, and a pungent stench filled the air.
The ten human cultivators were clearly very wary of this poisonous mist, attacking while retreating, always keeping a safe distance from the demon dog.
However, their speed was clearly inferior to that of the demon dogs.
The demon dog charged forward, its huge body like a moving mountain, crushing nine fourth-rank Gold Immortals.
The middle-aged man at the front of the group changed his expression drastically. He suddenly released a huge beam of light from his crimson long sword, which slashed through the sky and hit the demon dog monster heavily.

The demon dog staggered when hit by the sword tip, but quickly regained its balance. Its blood-red eyes focused on the nine cultivators, and it let out an even fiercer roar.
“Retreat!” shouted the middle-aged man hastily. “We can’t handle this! Retreat now!”
The nine cultivators had long wanted to escape. After hearing the order, they immediately turned around and ran, heading into the distance without looking back.
The middle-aged man was in the back row, unleashing a series of slashes with his crimson long sword, each blade like a beam of light aimed at the demon dog monster, trying to stop its pursuit.
However, the demon dog was too fast. Its four thick legs ran across the ground, each step covering dozens of feet, and it almost caught up with the nine cultivators.
Just then, the middle-aged man saw David and Jiang Xuelan.
The two stood on a small hill not far away, watching the battle unfold.
Their auras were very weak; they were only at the first and third ranks of the Golden Immortal Realm, which was nothing in the eyes of the middle-aged man.
“Run!” shouted the middle-aged man hastily, “You two, run! This is not something you can participate in!”
David and Jiang Xuelan did not move.
The middle-aged man’s expression changed, and he became so anxious that the veins on his forehead bulged.
He gritted his teeth, turned around suddenly, and rushed towards David and Jiang Xuelan.
Are you both deaf?!
The middle-aged man rushed over to the two of them, grabbed David’s wrist, and pulled him away while shouting, “You’ve gone crazy! A first-rank Gold Immortal dares to come to the territory of the demon dog monster! You’re looking for death?!”
David opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the middle-aged man was very strong, grabbed his wrist and pulled him while running, not giving him a chance to speak.
Jiang Xuelan followed behind, a glimmer of helplessness flashed in her icy blue eyes.
The middle-aged man pulled David for more than a hundred miles until they were far from the demon dog monster’s territory before they stopped.
He let go of David’s hand, bent over, panting, his forehead covered in sweat.
“You two”
The middle-aged man raised his head, looking at David and Jiang Xuelan with a reproachful look, “A first and third level Gold Immortal, you dare come to the demon dog’s territory? Are you two crazy?”
Do you know what a devil dog is? It was an extremely powerful level five Gold Immortal; it can swallow you alive in one gulp!
David stared at the middle-aged man, his dark eyes seemed emotionless.
“We were just passing by,” he said calmly.
“Just passing by?”
The middle-aged man’s voice rose several decibels, “You can’t enter the territory of the demon dogs just because you passed by! That road is the territory of the demon dogs, and their territory covers thousands of miles around!”
How did you get in? Didn’t anyone tell you?
David shook his head.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and looked David up and down.
“Are you two from out of town?” he asked.
“Hmm.” David nodded. “I’ve just arrived at Nineteenth Heaven, and I’m not yet familiar with the place and people here.”
The middle-aged man frowned, and a hint of sympathy appeared in his eyes as he looked at David.
“No wonder.” He shook his head. “You’re lucky to have met us. Otherwise, you two would have died here today.”
He paused for a moment, then pointed in the direction from which he had come.
“That road is impassable. The demon dog’s territory is very vast, covering thousands of miles. If you take a detour, your journey will take several more days.”
“Why did you enter the demon dog territory?” David asked.
