How Come My Dog Becomes Unbeatable

“Don’t underestimate the virtual world!” King Qinguang cautioned his brothers.

King Qinguang noticed his brothers’ stunned expressions and continued to emphasize:

“That dog dispatched me in under two moves!”

“While my carelessness played a part, that dog’s strength undoubtedly belongs to the realm of an extreme Dao expert, surpassing even Qihuang!”

“Thud!”

Their swift progress came to an abrupt halt, leaving the other Yama Kings in astonishment as they looked at their eldest brother.

“Big brother, did I hear you correctly?”

“In less than two moves?”

Despite the discomfort on King Qinguang’s face, he nodded in affirmation when he felt the collective gaze of his brothers.

Although it was an unpleasant truth, he couldn’t afford to misinform his brothers just to save face.

When one of them slipped up, the consequences could be fatal.

Not every time they died, the Emperor would resurrect them.

They possessed unique opportunities, and the Emperor had to pay a price. If something happened to the Ten Yama Kings, even the Emperor would be powerless.

They had served the Emperor for many years with the goal of making him the world’s ruler. If they perished without reason, it would be unjust.

The others understood King Qinguang’s unspoken message. Although they didn’t voice it, they held it in their hearts.

The ten brothers were akin to blood brothers, despite not being related by blood. Their eldest brother willingly sacrificed his reputation for their safety.

“The Emperor granted us the Yama Formation. We can take on even a peak Ultimate Path expert. We should be able to handle this!”

King Chujiang offered reassurance.

The others concurred, and this time, even King Qinguang’s expression warmed.

This was why the Emperor had allowed them to proceed despite being aware of the dog’s power.

Their greatest reliance was the Yama Formation, ensuring their safe retreat even if they encountered Tianji Zi.

“We’ve picked up the tracks of that Bronze Sect!”

A spark of excitement lit up King Qinguang’s face, and he led the group in a different direction.

“I’ve spotted it! It’s that entrance,” King Qinguang gritted his teeth, as if he could already envision seizing the dog.

“I’m curious to see what makes Zhang Xuan’s dog so special!”

Ten Yama Kings brimmed with a deadly determination as he headed straight for the Bronze Sect.

“Hold on, elder brother!”

King Chu Jiang called out to King Qinguang, who was about to step forward. Then, he gestured, releasing a potent wave of death energy throughout the Bronze Sect.

The others immediately grasped King Chu Jiang’s intent, and waves of death energy cascaded through the Bronze Sect.

King Qinguang’s expression turned icy. He couldn’t accept it; who was he?

He was Jiang Zheng, King Qinguang, the top Yama under Yin Tianzi!

In the past, wherever he went, his adversaries would quiver in fear. Whether facing Superior Cultivator Zhang Hao or the Human Clan’s Tianji Zi, he could hold his own.

Yet now, he had been defeated by a mere pet dog!

This was intolerable!

He had to use his power to prove to the world that he was still the same King Qinguang as before, perhaps even stronger.

“It’s time. Everyone, let’s proceed!”

“It’s time to remind the world of the Ten Yama Kings once more!”

All heads nodded in agreement, and they lifted their legs, ready to advance.

“Da Da Da…”

Suddenly, a series of footsteps became audible.

Footsteps echoed with a deliberate rhythm, causing Ten Yama Kings’ faces to flush red, and their hearts to ache with unease.

This sensation was profoundly uncomfortable, akin to the feeling that if their adversary wished to end them, it would be as effortless as squashing an ant.

“Who goes there!?”

King Qinguang positioned himself at the forefront, while the other nine promptly assumed their designated positions. A profound aura enveloped the entire group.

Beneath their feet, the Yellow Springs River flowed, emitting a soft, gurgling sound.

The magma bubbled, and rather than the ambient temperature rising, it dropped to sub-zero Celsius.

Specters emerged from the Yellow Springs, shrouding the ten individuals in dense smoke. Behind them, the smoke gradually coalesced into a shadow bearing an ancient aura.

“Reveal yourself!”

King Qinguang directed his gaze toward the source of the voice.

The voice neither rushed nor lagged. Gradually, a figure materialized before the Ten Yama Kings.

Upon seeing the person’s face, the expressions of the ten individuals shifted.

King Qinguang uttered in a resigned tone, “Zhang Hao!”

The other nine Yama Kings instantly readied themselves for combat, their bodies noticeably tenser.

The shadow of the Tree of Life.

Zhang Hao was a peerless expert who could rival the Yin Son of Heaven and Tianji Zi.

The man glanced at the ten of them but paid them no heed. Instead, he proceeded directly towards the Bronze Sect.

Ten Yama Kings remained immobile, their legs trembling.

In this moment, nobody concerned themselves with whether this would be an embarrassing situation or not.

In the presence of an expert like Zhang Hao, fear was not a disgrace!

As Zhang Hao passed by them, the Samsara King nearly lost control of his bladder.

Fortunately, Zhang Hao merely cast a brief glance their way and refrained from launching an attack.

What an overwhelming display of Qi!

This was the only thought crossing their minds.

The Ten Yama Kings grasped that Zhang Hao’s current power had likely transcended their wildest imaginings.

“Wait, elder brother, it seems like Zhang Hao has lost his memory!” Unexpectedly, King Chujiang whispered through a mental link.

The others were dumbfounded, their gazes fixed on King Chujiang in disbelief. Surely he jests.

“My friend, where are you headed?”

King Chujiang didn’t respond verbally but intercepted Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao turned to face King Chujiang with a vacant expression.

That look sent a shiver down King Chujiang’s spine, and beads of cold sweat instantly formed on his forehead.

At this moment, he nearly felt like he might meet his end.

Unbelievably formidable!

When they had encountered Zhang Hao moments ago, they had already envisioned him as immensely powerful, but they had still underestimated him.

In this instant, they were absolutely certain that Zhang Hao’s might equaled that of a Sovereign.

Gulp!

The ten individuals desperately swallowed their saliva, their eyes glazed over.

It was as if an emperor had materialized before them.

It had been tens of millions of years since they had last encountered Zhang Hao. His ascent in power had been remarkably swift.

Zhang Hao observed them but refrained from launching an attack. Instead, he continued to regard them with an empty expression.

They maintained their mutual gaze, and after some time, the Ten Yama Kings breathed sighs of relief upon realizing that Zhang Hao showed no intention of attacking.

It was evident to them that something was amiss with Zhang Hao.

“Elder Ten, hasten back and notify the Emperor!”

King Qinguang cautiously conveyed his message.

“Big brother!”

The Samsara King wore a concerned expression.

Despite all ten of them being present, they could still withdraw without harm. If they departed, the Yama Formation would have a missing piece. If Zhang Hao made a move, his nine brothers would undoubtedly meet their demise.

In the past, Zhang Hao could easily eliminate all nine of them, but now, when they encountered Zhang Hao, they could only exchange a few blows before fleeing. Staying behind would only lead to their deaths, especially against the even more formidable Zhang Hao.

“We’ll be fine here, hurry!”

King Chujiang also conveyed his message quietly.

“Alright!”

Indeed, locating Zhang Hao had not been an easy task. This matter was of utmost importance, and they had to report it to the Emperor.

The Samsara King hardened his resolve and turned to leave.

“I believe I’ve crossed paths with you all before,” Zhang Hao suddenly uttered, his previously blank expression now speaking volumes.

The hearts of the ten individuals raced in response.
