"Duke, what are you doing?" The Caucasian Shepherd Dog glared angrily at Er Gouzi but was reluctant to make a move. The woman immediately became anxious and kicked its rear with her pointy high heel.
Fang Jueyu's suspicion was correct. This Caucasian Shepherd Dog indeed suffered from mania. Its father had endured extreme stress throughout a long career in dog fighting, which was highly cruel, and had developed severe mania with a hereditary tendency.
This mania was easily triggered by external stimuli, and once it flared up, it became aggressive toward anything except its owner.
The sharp pain stimulated the dog's nerves instantly. The impulse overcame its fear, and it roared as it charged at Er Gouzi.
"That's it, that little black dog is doomed." The crowd watching eagerly couldn't help but step back, worried the frenzied dog would harm them. This little girl served as the best example, given the woman's rude demeanor. Even if they were bitten, they wouldn't expect satisfactory compensation.
Some people even turned their heads, not wanting to witness the little black dog being mauled to death by the Caucasian Shepherd Dog.
However, events did not unfold as they imagined. Er Gouzi jumped lightly, effortlessly dodging the attack of the Caucasian Shepherd Dog.
It landed steadily on its back, instead biting out a gruesome wound on the dog's back.
Er Gouzi's bite strength was astonishing. Even Fang Jueyu's crystal coffee table was full of bite marks; chewing on steel was akin to chewing on cookies, let alone ordinary flesh and blood.
"Owww!" The Caucasian Shepherd Dog cried out in pain. It had never suffered such a loss in a one-on-one confrontation with other dogs. Instinctively, it rolled on the ground, trying to throw Er Gouzi off its back.
Yet Er Gouzi was incredibly agile. As soon as it fell, Er Gouzi flipped off its back, performing a beautiful 360-degree spin in mid-air and landing gracefully on the ground.
This display amazed the crowd. In their minds, dog fights were nothing but frantic biting. With such a size difference, the Caucasian Shepherd Dog should easily pin the black dog to the ground and grind it, but it was the one being shown up.
The Caucasian Shepherd Dog grew more frantic, but Er Gouzi calmly dodged each bite, occasionally retaliating as if it were playing with it.
"Oh my God, has this black dog learned martial arts?"
"What breed is this dog? It's unbelievably powerful!"
"I've never seen such an amazing dog. If this continues, that Caucasian Shepherd Dog will exhaust itself to death!"
The onlookers whispered amongst themselves, though most were elderly and children, unable to recognize Fang Jueyu.
Finally, after a few minutes of entanglement, the Caucasian Shepherd Dog's strength gave out. The wounds on its body left it extremely weak. It was no longer a threat to life but had no combat power left.
"Thud!" The burly Caucasian Shepherd Dog collapsed in front of the shorter Er Gouzi.
"Woof woof woof!" Er Gouzi strutted around the Caucasian Shepherd Dog triumphantly, then elegantly lifted its left hind leg in a victor's pose next to its head.
"Whoosh!" A warm stream of urine splashed directly onto the Caucasian Shepherd Dog's face.
"Hahaha, well done!" Fang Jueyu praised Er Gouzi, then pulled a black pill out of his pocket and tossed it to it.
Er Gouzi leaped lightly and caught the pill with precision, then showed a satisfied expression.
What Fang Jueyu threw was not dog food but a medicinal pill he discovered a while ago. Knowing that Er Gouzi ate anything, he tried feeding it a pill that helped with cultivation.
Unexpectedly, it worked on Er Gouzi, which seemed to enjoy eating it. It appeared to accelerate its growth rate.
"Duke!" The woman hurried to the side of the Caucasian Shepherd Dog. It lay there weakly, looking at its owner and whimpering.
"You better remember this!" The woman glared at Fang Jueyu with resentment.
"Are you threatening me?" Fang Jueyu showed an annoyed expression. The woman's pestering had long irritated him.
After learning the Guiding Technique, Fang Jueyu's spiritual power significantly increased, though he was far from Gu Yi's level of creating illusions, but intimidating an average person wasn't difficult.
The intense look in his eyes made the woman's body tremble. She felt a cold killing intent emanating from Fang Jueyu, like she had fallen into an ice cave.
A foul odor came from the woman; she had been scared to wet herself by Fang Jueyu's presence!
"Damn, am I really that powerful?" Even Fang Jueyu was surprised by the strength of his mental pressure. The mix of dog urine and her urine smell made the surrounding people frown.
The woman lowered her head in shame, losing all her belligerence and courage to even look at Fang Jueyu.
Only then did she realize the neighborhood didn't revolve solely around her status and power. There were more affluent people, and such a demeanor couldn't belong to an ordinary person.
At that moment, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman rushed over, faces marked by extreme anxiety.
"Mom! Is Xiao Ke alright?" They were probably the girl's parents.
Tears streaked the elderly woman's face, unsure about the seriousness of the girl's injuries.
"Better take her to the hospital quickly. The wound has reached the bone," Fang Jueyu said, "That dog seems to have some issues. You should take it seriously."
"Mom, who is this..." The man turned his gaze toward Fang Jueyu.
"Oh right, it was this young man and his dog who saved Xiao Ke. If it weren't for that little black dog, Xiao Ke would have been bitten even worse." The elderly woman spoke hurriedly.
"Young man, thank you." The middle-aged man handed him a business card. "If you ever have any trouble, feel free to contact me."
Fang Jueyu glanced at the card: Liu Anren, Party Secretary of Jiangnan City.
"Wow, a big shot from Jiangnan City." Fang Jueyu wasn't too concerned, having met with the chief twice already.
Liu Anren glanced at the Caucasian Shepherd Dog, then at Er Gouzi, who was now napping on Fang Jueyu's shoulder, and showed a puzzled expression, "Is it really your little black dog that did this to that dog?"
"Oh, yes, my Er Gouzi learned martial arts." Fang Jueyu joked. If he claimed Er Gouzi was a Soul-devouring Beast, Liu Anren would probably consider him insane.
Seeing Liu Anren's bewildered look, Fang Jueyu laughed, "Let's not worry about my dog. Taking Xiao Ke to the hospital is more important."
"You're right!" Liu Anren nodded, "Young man, I must treat you to a meal to thank you someday."
He quickly carried the little girl away, not forgetting to cast a glance at the woman, indicating that this matter, having harmed his daughter, wouldn't be easily settled!
