I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 91 Dog-headed Man

The kobold wore large, shiny black leather shoes. His feet were almost twice the size of a normal man's. He was extremely burly and muscular. Even though he was wearing a suit, you could still see that his muscles were very solid. His arms had intertwined muscle lines like tree roots, which looked terrifying and disgusting.

The kobold's eyes gleamed with an eerie light, a hunger born of plunging into an abyss.

He had not eaten for a long time, even though he was perfectly capable of fasting.

Once you get past the kobolds, Cerberus can directly meet the challenger if he so chooses.

The kobold was a true watchdog; countless people, demons, and beasts died at his mouth.

The Black Goat's people were utterly defeated by this kobold.

If you don't look at the head, even Li Changgeng would have some trouble distinguishing between a dog's head and a sheep's head. At first glance, the dog-man in front of him really does look like a black goat, especially with its ferocious beast-like physique.

"You defeated the Black Serpent and killed the Silver-Armored Warrior, yet you are just an ordinary human. This doesn't make any sense!"

The kobold emerged from the shadows, its outline gradually becoming clearer, especially its dog head. It was indeed a dog, but its head seemed even more vicious and bloodthirsty than that of a hungry wolf.

Crack... Crack...

The kobold held a large, red apple. His fingers and palms were like those of a normal person. Although the apple was very big, it looked very small in his hand. After taking a big bite of the apple, the kobold seemed very satisfied.

"Your foundation is quite good. It's rare to see the purple aura of heaven and earth emanating from your Niwan Palace. If I eat someone like you, my cultivation will naturally advance further! Perhaps it's even possible for me to break through the Earth Rank barrier and ascend to the Heaven Rank."

"Hey!!"

The kobold took another bite of his apple, sighed, and said, "It's better to be human. Cultivation is so much easier for humans, but many people are just empty shells; they don't cherish themselves. A cultivator might only need fifty years to go from the Inner Strength Realm to the Innate Realm, and then to the Earth Rank Realm, while it took me a full five hundred years. Cultivating from the Earth Rank Realm to the Heaven Rank Realm is even more difficult, let alone reaching the Dao Inquiry Realm or the Golden Body Realm of immortality!"

The kobold's mouth was dripping with sticky saliva, which fell onto the stone steps. "You are truly my lucky star. If I eat you, I can become a Heavenly Rank expert and even transform into human form."

The kobold patted his head. "This head of mine can transform into a human form."

Li Changgeng listened quietly to the dog-headed man's rambling. He didn't rush to make a move. This beast was quite different from the black snake and the silver-armored warrior, and the sense of oppression it brought to Li Changgeng was also different.

The first to strike gains the upper hand; the last to strike suffers the consequences.

This is the general rule, but if Li Changgeng makes the first move and reveals a weakness, his life or death may be decided in an instant. It is better to preserve his strength for now, since the green countdown has already stopped.

The wisp of purple aura still lingered in the bronze shrine, and the fusion of the Black Goat and Skeleton Reaper cards in the forge was still underway. However, the forge had developed cracks, since it could only be used twice. The first time, the Skeleton Reaper's scythe and battle axe were fused to create the divine weapon, the Shadowless Blade.

The second fusion will take even longer. Forging demonic beasts through fusion is naturally much more difficult than creating divine weapons.

Perhaps if we wait a bit, the black goat, reborn from the ashes, might be able to help.

"Please forgive me, I've been talking a lot." The kobold twisted his neck, the apple in his hand already more than half eaten. "I haven't seen anyone in a long time, so... I'm a little excited."

"Now here's the problem!" The kobold casually tossed the apple behind his head. "You can kneel down in front of me, stick out your neck, and I'll give you a quick stab, saving you a lot of pain. Or you can voluntarily rip your heart out and give it to me."

"You want to eat my heart?" Li Changgeng judged that his strength was still not enough to match that of the kobolds, so he decided to wait until the black goat was forged before fighting the kobolds.

Cerberus is a dog, and this tall beast in front of us is also a dog. This dog must be a guard dog, and its strength is definitely extraordinary.

“Yes, we all have a strong craving for the human heart. Eating humans satisfies our hunger. But don’t worry, I’ll eat everything except your scalp and hair.” The kobold gently patted his empty stomach. In his eyes, Li Changgeng was already a dead man, and there was no need to make a big fuss. Li Changgeng would surely surrender.

"That's not right!" Li Changgeng's eyes gleamed with an unusual light, like the stars in the sky. "You're a dog, shouldn't you eat shit?"

"If a dog can stop eating shit, is it still a dog?"

Li Changgeng stared at the kobold with lingering interest. He wondered where the kobold's defenses were weak and how he could defeat it quickly. He felt that a prolonged battle would be disadvantageous for him, especially since this was on the kobold's territory.

The kobold's expression changed instantly. Although his face was covered in dog hair as hard as steel needles, Li Changgeng could still clearly see the subtle changes in the kobold's facial muscles. He was very angry, even furious. The kobold's current cultivation level was already that of a Earth-rank Night Demon, and yet he had said that he ate shit. It would be strange if he wasn't angry. This was exactly the effect that Li Changgeng wanted.

"Kid, I've changed my mind. I'm going to rip your intestines out of your anus and then use them to tie you up like a mummy." The kobold bared his teeth, his huge, fan-like hand slowly clenching into a fist.

"By the way, dogs seem to particularly enjoy eating human poop! Freshly made, this is your favorite. And if there are undigested chunks or pieces of meat in the poop, wouldn't it be even more delicious?"

"If you want to eat it, I can consider making it for you on the spot."

Li Changgeng felt disgusted after saying it; the imagery was quite vivid. This was all to provoke the dog-headed man, who was more likely to reveal his weakness in a state of extreme anger.

"Kid, back when I was a big shot, you were still wearing open-crotch pants."

Boom... Blood mist filled the air, enveloping the kobold.

This is sorcery.

An iron fist emerged from the blood mist. Despite being a fist technique, the kobold's punch carried a sharp, blade-like crimson blade.

A blood-red blade, its afterimage blurring, slashed towards Li Changgeng.

Li Changgeng was already prepared. His Shadowless Blade also unleashed a golden rotating wave of light to meet the attack. If he hadn't tested the black dog-headed man's fist technique to discover its formidable power, its punches as sharp as blades, Li Changgeng would have certainly suffered a loss if he had rashly engaged in battle.

The golden threads of the rotating light wheel resembled the sparks produced by a chainsaw cutting.

Clang... clang, the sound of metal colliding rang out, the kobold was unharmed, and shattered the golden halo with a single punch.

"With this little strength, you dare to show off your meager skills in front of Master Dog? I'll tear your stinking mouth apart first!" The kobold suddenly sprang up, leaving only a blurry image of his body in the void. The thick blood mist looked like it was dripping blood, and as the kobold charged forward, he became a blood-soaked figure.

Li Changgeng could see clearly that behind the kobold was a blood-red phantom that looked exactly like him...
