Their blood-red eyes glared at the group, saliva dripping from their mouths, letting out low growls as if calling for more friends.
The middle-aged man’s expression changed completely.
Thirteen demon dog monsters.
Thirteen demon beasts at the fifth rank of the Golden Immortal Realm.
Of the ten people, the highest ranked was only a level five Gold Immortal, the rest were level four Gold Immortals, plus two level one and three Gold Immortals from other places. Even combined, they were unable to fight against the thirteen demon dogs.
In fact, they had no chance to escape.
The middle-aged man’s lips trembled, and his eyes were filled with despair.
“It’s all over” he muttered to himself, his voice filled with deep despair, “It’s all over”
The nine cultivators were also ashen-faced, their weapons shaking, their eyes filled with terror.
Some people had already started to shed tears, some were closing their eyes and waiting for death, and others were whispering something, as if they were saying their last prayers.
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at David and Jiang Xuelan.
“You two, listen carefully.”
His voice suddenly became calm, so calm that it didn’t sound like someone was about to die. “We will restrain these demon dog monsters. All of you look for a chance to run. Run as far as possible, back to Qingfeng Village. Tell the village chief that there are more demon dog monsters than we thought, and ask him to take everyone away. Don’t stay in the village any longer.”
He paused for a moment, a bitter smile on his lips.
“We can’t go back. But you still have a chance.”
David looked at the middle-aged man, his dark eyes did not reveal any emotions.
“Are you finished talking?” he asked.
The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, not understanding why David could say such things at this time.
“You” He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but David had already walked past him.
David walked to the front of the group, facing the thirteen demon dogs, a cold glint flashing through his purple eyes.
“What are you doing!” shouted the middle-aged man. “Go back! You’re just a level one Gold Immortal, are you going up there to your death?!”
The nine cultivators were also stunned, looking at David’s back with disbelief in their eyes.
“Is this person crazy?”
“A level one Golden Immortal challenging thirteen level five Golden Immortal demon dogs?”
“Was he very scared?”
“Captain, pull him back quickly!”
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and was about to step forward to pull David away when Jiang Xuelan stopped him.
“Don’t move,” Jiang Xuelan said calmly. “Just pay attention.”
The middle-aged man’s eyes widened as he looked at Jiang Xuelan, then at David, completely confused as to what the two of them were doing.
David stopped where he was and stood in front of the thirteen demon dogs, looking very small.
The difference between a cultivator of the first level of the Golden Immortal Realm and thirteen demon beasts of the fifth level of the Golden Immortal Realm was like an ant facing an elephant.
The demon dogs looked at David, a glimmer of doubt flashed in their blood-red eyes.
They did not understand why this human, whose aura was so weak, dared to stand alone in front of them.
The lead demon dog let out a low growl, opened its blood-red mouth, and pounced on David.
The speed was extreme; its huge body drew a black arc in the air, and its sharp fangs glinted coldly in the sunlight.
The middle-aged man closed his eyes.
He didn’t want to see the young man being torn apart.
The nine cultivators also turned their heads away, unable to look at him.
However, the expected scream was not heard.
Instead, there was a shrill wail.
The voice was not human; it belonged to a demonic creature.
The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene before him made his mind go blank.
The lead demon dog, the largest and strongest of them all, lay on the ground, its body split into two, black blood spurting out and staining the ground black.
His blood-red eyes were still wide open, filled with shock and disbelief, as if he didn’t understand how he died until his last breath.
The young man, a level one Gold Immortal, stood beside the corpse of the demon dog, holding a purple longsword in his hand. The sword was enveloped in a faint purple light and was not stained with a single drop of blood.
“One sword”
The middle-aged man’s lips trembled, and his voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.
“One sword slash finished off the demon dog of the fifth level of the Golden Immortal realm”
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.
But the demon dog’s corpse lay there, black blood still flowing, the strong smell of blood filling the air—everything was real.
The nine cultivators were also stunned, their mouths agape, as wide as eggs, and their eyes bulging like copper bells.
