"What?"
"Giving up already?"
"Don't you want to resist a little longer?"
"Sizzle!"
"What a pity!"
"I actually thought you were a tough guy, I was starting to like you!"
"Since that's the case!"
"There's no fun in this anymore!"
"I'll end it for you quickly!"
Seeing the black tiger lying on the ground with its eyes closed, the leader of the men in black smacked his lips with a hint of playfulness.
Without further ado, he raised his fist, enveloped in true energy, and walked up to the black tiger.
He was about to smash his fist towards the black tiger's forehead.
If this punch landed, the black tiger would surely be dead!
"Roar!"
At this critical moment, a clear beastly roar echoed in everyone's ears.
Immediately, the leader of the men in black saw a giant claw suddenly appear beside the black tiger.
It then slammed towards him!
Sensing the powerful gust of wind generated by the claw's swing, the leader of the men in black's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He quickly retracted the hand he was about to use to attack the black tiger, blocking in front of himself.
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
"Pfft!"
With a series of strange noises, everyone saw the leader of the men in black, who had been so smug just moments ago.
He was now like a kite with a broken string, sent flying dozens of meters away by a single claw strike!
Large amounts of blood continuously gushed from the corner of his mouth as he flew!
Witnessing this, everyone present was stunned, their jaws nearly dropping.
Especially the subordinates of the leader in black. They truly couldn't imagine what kind of creature.
It could, with one claw, disable their boss, who was in the middle stage of the Body Shaping Realm, in such a miserable state!
One must know that even throughout Cangyun City.
The number of people who could reach the middle stage of the Body Shaping Realm would not exceed the count of both hands.
Each of them was at the pinnacle of power and influence!
Wherever they went, they were almost universally obeyed!
Yet today, their boss, whom they considered invincible,
Was actually sent flying by an unknown creature with a single claw strike!
"Ahhh!"
"Who?"
"Who the hell ambushed me!"
"t
That seemingly not-so-sturdy body could unleash a fierce strength far exceeding that of other beasts.
It was this creature that had suddenly appeared and blocked the attack of the leader of the men in black.
And sent him flying dozens of meters with one claw strike!
"Shou Hu, you're here!"
"Thank goodness you came in time, otherwise I would have been dead!"
"Don't worry about me!"
"Go in quickly, find the boss, and take him and sister-in-law away!"
"I'll hold them off for you!"
"This guy is a strong practitioner of the Body Shaping Realm!"
"Even though you have great strength, you might not be able to defeat him without a surprise attack!"
"The boss's situation is unclear right now, so we shouldn't engage in a direct fight!"
As he spoke, Hei Hu struggled to get up from the ground.
Just now, he had already prepared to lie on the ground and wait for death.
He never expected that Shou Hu, whom he had assigned to protect Lu Ling'er nearby,
Would suddenly arrive at this moment and save him.
Although Shou Hu's arrival brought Hei Hu some surprise,
He understood that the situation was still not optimistic.
Although the leader of the men in black had been seriously injured by Shou Hu's surprise attack,
The opponent was, after all, a powerhouse in the middle stage of the Body Shaping Realm. This injury, while severe, was not fatal.
Moreover, if the opponent did not engage Shou Hu in a head-on strength contest but chose to use hit-and-run tactics, Shou Hu might not be able to touch him.
Coupled with the fact that the opponent had so many subordinates, if Shou Hu were to be held back by the leader of the men in black,
And with Hei Hu himself being on his last breath, how could he guarantee the safety of Zhou Xuan and Lu Ling'er behind him.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Hei Hu directly ordered Shou Hu to take Zhou Xuan and the two of them to flee.
He would stay behind to cover their retreat.
Although with his severe injuries, he might not be able to hold out for long.
But if he could buy Zhou Xuan even a second longer, he would.
Through their time together, he had already come to regard Zhou Xuan as his elder brother.
Otherwise, he would not have stood his ground so firmly after receiving Zhou Xuan's order.
In his heart, Zhou Xuan's life had long surpassed his own!
"Roar!"
Upon hearing Hei Hu's command, Shou Hu, who was usually very obedient, surprisingly did not comply this time.
Instead, it shook its head at Hei Hu in a somewhat human-like manner.
From its appearance, it was unwilling to abandon Hei Hu and face such a perilous situation alone.
Hei Hu had grown loyal to Zhou Xuan through their time together.
Similarly, Shou Hu had also developed feelings for Hei Hu through their time together.
In its not-so-mature mind, Hei Hu, who fed it, and Zhou Xuan, who adopted it, were both its family.
Now that its family was in trouble, how could it abandon them and flee alone?
"I was wondering what it was that ambushed me!"
"So it's this scruffy beast!"
"I didn't expect you to be able to tame a tiger!"
"Truly remarkable!"
"But today, even if the King of Heaven himself came, you will all die here!"
"Old Man Wang!"
"How long are you going to keep watching from the sidelines?"
"If you don't come out soon, I'm leaving!"
"Then you'll have to deal with this beast by yourself!"
While Hei Hu was about to try and persuade Shou Hu again, the leader of the men in black, who had been sent flying by Shou Hu, could no longer hold back.
Not only did he directly interrupt Hei Hu's actions, but he also suddenly turned towards the nearby woods and called out to someone.
Hearing the other party's words, Hei Hu's expression changed again.
Judging by the other party's demeanor, it seemed that they were not the only ones who had come looking for trouble tonight.
"Heh heh, Brother Li, don't be anxious!"
"I wasn't intervening because I thought you could handle the problem, and I didn't want to steal your thunder!"
"But since Brother Li has spoken, this old man will also come to join the fun!"
"Kid Zhou Xuan, why don't you come out quickly!"
"Didn't you want to ask this old man for ransom a while ago?"
"Now I, Wang Zekun, have brought you the ransom!"
"If you have the guts, come out and take it now!"
