644: Vicious Dog

"I told you to stop!" The guard roared hysterically, pulling out the long saber from his waist in anger.

Along with a flash of white light, the Man suddenly slashed the saber in his hand towards the shoulder of the Butcher before him!

As a Gao family guard, he had at least trained with a saber for three to five years.

This slash, at this moment, was almost the best one he had performed in recent years!

On most people, it could directly cut from the shoulder into the chest!

And now.

Indeed.

The guard's full-force slash cut directly from the Butcher's shoulder in front of him, slicing into his chest!

Only.

Amidst such injury, the A Man before him, reeking of blood and holding a sharp bleeding knife, showed no change in expression!

Instead, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing yellow teeth stained with black, foul-smelling flesh.

As he walked slowly, the flesh on his body that had been cut open was instantly restored to its original state!

"No, no, you're not human, you're not human!" The guard completely panicked.

He let go of the saber in his hand and stumbled backward.

But this place was just a cowshed, the further back he went, the less room there was to retreat.

Finally, the Butcher's greasy black hand grabbed the guard's shoulder.

At this moment, the guard felt that the hand gripping his shoulder was like a vice, fixing him firmly in place!

This fixation was like nailing his shoulder to the wall with dozens of iron nails; any struggle was futile!

The next breath.

As the guard's eyes widened slightly, he could see the Butcher's other hand, holding the sharp knife, slowly lifting.

The sharp knife, stained with foul blood and showing little gleam, was thus moved closer and closer under the Butcher's control!

When the cold sharp knife touched his neck, the guard trembled uncontrollably as if winnowing chaff.

"Pfft~"

Flesh and blood parted, and warm fresh blood slid down his neck.

The guard desperately tried to move backward, but the hand holding him firmly offered no room to break free, leaving him to bear it with such despair, his eyes wide open!

The pain in his neck grew worse; the sharp knife was slowly, continuously, stabbing into his neck!

After the initial struggle, the guard's pupils slowly dilated with intense pain and fear, and he spat out large mouthfuls of dark red blood.

On the verge of death, he seemed to see in his vision, in positions like an audience, 'people' with black eye sockets and pale faces, applauding and cheering.

Was he performing in a play? Then what role was he playing?

...

"Second bow to the elders!" In the wedding hall, the master of ceremonies for the wedding shouted loudly.

And Gao Lang, holding a red string with an embroidered ball together with the woman beside him wearing a heavy red veil, bowed towards the front.

However, when the young man saw the people he was about to bow to, his breathing suddenly quickened, and his face showed excitement and happiness.

"Father, Mother?!"

The elders before him, whom he was about to kneel and bow to, were none other than his Father and his mother!

"Don't speak," Gao Peng, wearing clothes with blood-stained corners, said somewhat sternly, but more heavily, to his son.

They had also inexplicably entered this place, or rather, this play.

Hearing the eerie narration and seeing the incredible situation around them, fear also arose in Gao Peng's heart.

Their Gao family hadn't encountered villains; they had encountered Ghosts!

For now, it seemed they could only be temporarily safe by acting according to the narrator's instructions.

However, regarding the situation that followed, Gao Peng had no way to break the deadlock!

Having traveled extensively for so many years, it wasn't that he hadn't heard of others encountering Ghosts.

And among them, ninety-nine percent of those who encountered Ghosts had died!

Gao Lang, however, did not know this.

After seeing his old Father and mother, he felt much more at ease.

The shadow brought by the Ghost claw inside his clothes earlier had dissipated considerably.

After the subsequent rituals ended, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, while Gao Lang was left to toast.

All of this felt very unreal to Gao Lang.

During this time, he wanted to say a few words to his Father and mother, but was always pulled away by the enthusiastic guests around him to listen to their nonsense.

When the kitchen shouted that dinner was ready, Gao Lang smelled a familiar meaty aroma.

"Ho, I'm a bit hungry. This must be the beef I ate at that inn before, right? It smells exactly the same." Thinking this, the next moment, Gao Lang was suddenly startled.

Because he saw that from the kitchen, someone was bringing over a cooked human head on a plate!

The human head was placed on the table, and the guests nearby all picked up their chopsticks to snatch at it.

If one ignored what the dish was, just looking at the lively scene, it was completely like the bustling scene of ordinary people eating at a feast.

And witnessing this scene firsthand, Gao Lang covered his mouth, the nausea in his heart reaching its peak!

"I'm crazy, I must be crazy!" Gao Lang's hands and feet turned cold as he muttered to himself.

At the same time.

Outside the lively wedding courtyard.

Cang Poshi, wearing tattered beggar's clothes, sat for a long time before finally realizing his situation.

It seemed that the Ghost in the play in this place, as the Master had said, had already made a move on them!

["Old beggar, seeing a wedding feast, begging for food, a piece of Gu, dogs fight over it, bites a person, life is lost."]

The babble babble ah ah sounds of the play emerged in Cang Poshi's ears.

Hearing this, Cang Poshi immediately saw a person walking out of the wedding feast courtyard who directly threw a piece of Gu into the bowl in front of him.

The strong fragrance stimulated the appetite.

However, after seeing clearly what was in the bowl, Cang Poshi's hand inside his tattered sleeve couldn't help but clench slightly.

This was a human palm Gu!

On it were several rough bite marks, and even more were tendons and Gu between the fingers that had been torn and ripped apart!

It seemed like it hadn't been cooked for long; there were still quite a few blood threads between these tendons and Gu.

Fortunately, the Old Man had also seen many scenes; this situation at most only made him frown.

Compared to the contents of the bowl, what he cared about more was the voice that had just appeared in his mind.

"A piece of Gu, dogs fight over it, bites a person, life is lost?" Chewing on these words, Cang Poshi, with his Martial Arts foundation, immediately sensed a series of heavy breaths appearing not far away.

Stopping his breathing, he turned his head to look, and Cang Poshi's brows furrowed tightly.

In his sight, on the street ahead, a large yellow dog had unexpectedly run out from somewhere!

This dog had a sturdy build, thick fur, but its pupils were grey and black!

At first glance, it didn't even look like a normal dog should.

"Woof woof woof!"

The large yellow dog in the distance, as if attracted by the palm in the bowl, ran over barking furiously.

However, as the dog approached, its target immediately shifted from the palm in the bowl and landed on Cang Poshi!

"Woof!" The approaching large yellow dog opened its sharp-toothed muzzle, unlike any normal dog, and directly bit and tore towards Cang Poshi's throat!

That gaping maw seemed capable of closing directly down, biting and tearing off the Old Man's Adam's apple in front of it!

It was also at this moment that Cang Poshi turned into an afterimage, accompanied by a gust of wind, suddenly pulling back to evade!

Amidst the cry of an eagle, he didn't forget to viciously kick the waist of this large yellow dog with one foot!

Cang Poshi was one of the Five Great Experts of Five Directions City.

The skill in his legs, if it landed on any ordinary person, would be no less than being directly kicked by a horse's hoof!

With such force, let alone a dog, even a leopard would whimper and flee in a sorry state with severe injuries.

But at this moment.

Cang Poshi's kick to the dog in front of him only resulted in a muffled sound and caused no injury to the dog!

Seeing the large yellow dog immediately turn its body and chase after him within a breath, Cang Poshi dared not face it directly and quickly moved his steps, jumping onto the wall.

But it was still in vain!

This dog was like a Ghost wearing a skin; no matter if Cang Poshi climbed the wall or a tree, the large yellow dog followed relentlessly without any hindrance!

In the blink of an eye, the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed.

During this time, it wasn't that Cang Poshi hadn't attacked the dog.

But this Ghost wearing a dog's skin was simply not something he could shake!

His lifetime of Martial Arts could only buy him this difficult and dangerous evasion.

During this time, he was scratched by the evil dog's claws several times, tearing off dozens of bloody strips of skin and flesh!

However, it was precisely because he possessed this movement technique that he had persevered until now; otherwise, he would already be dead!

If it were other experts in Five Directions City, including the fellow in the County Office who used the Five Tiger Severing Door Saber, these so-called Martial Arts experts would definitely die faster than him!

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Just as Cang Poshi's heart was sinking, he suddenly heard a sound coming from the street behind him.

And the large yellow dog that was originally chasing him, as if its hatred was attracted by the sound calling for a dog, twisted its head strangely and withdrew its gaze from Cang Poshi on the eaves, looking towards the street directly ahead.

"Huh, you're still not happy? Aren't you just a dog? I like killing dogs the most." The A Man who appeared grinned slightly, while slowly untying the brand new large saber from his back.
