Chapter 1468: The Fall of the Hundred-eyed Golden Bull Dog

The Golden Bull Hound continuously spat out large mouthfuls of blood, its originally stable flight path becoming erratic under the immense pressure.

"Get down here! No one can take you away until I say so!"

As Long Kun roared this dominant declaration, Xu Yang, watching from behind, couldn't help but smile. Little did anyone know, Xu Yang reacted this way because he saw his past self in Long Kun; he, too, was once as young and reckless. When he made a move, he held nothing back, a demeanor truly identical to Long Kun's current fierce presence on the battlefield.

"Heh heh, weren't you so formidable earlier, old man? And you looked down on me! How about now? Just one move from my technique made you grovel. Do you still dare to be presumptuous in front of me?"

Long Kun finally resumed his dominant posture. He stepped with one foot onto the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound's enormous head, completely subduing it in mid-air, assuming the stance of a victor.

The Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound immediately adopted a submissive posture.

"It was my mistake not recognizing your greatness. Your Excellency possesses such powerful cultivation at such a young age. Please, Your Excellency, show mercy and spare me."

Long Kun burst into laughter. "It's probably too late to surrender now. I need your physical strength to exchange for more points. So, there's no room for negotiation between us; it's simply the relationship between a hunter and its prey."

No sooner had Long Kun finished speaking than Xu Yang, whose strength was immense, immediately noticed an unusual movement in the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound's body.

"Something's not right," Xu Yang murmured. "This Golden Bull Hound must be gathering power, preparing to self-destruct. With this power, it's clearly intending to perish with Long Kun."

Xu Yang slowly uttered these words, which also caused Ling Yao beside him to show a hint of worry.

"Boss, should I warn Long Kun immediately?"

Xu Yang gave no response, but instead extended a green aura ring from the void.

It arrived with astonishing speed, so fast that the mercenary soldiers below were completely unaware. Even the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound itself had no idea where this sudden power came from. The light instantly enveloped Long Kun's body, protecting his physical form, while simultaneously transforming into a beam of electrical energy that tightly bound the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound's body.

As it let out a painful roar, its body was completely encased in blue electrical light. It could no longer mobilize the flame energy within to self-destruct, and could only meekly surrender.

Feeling his boss Xu Yang's aura enveloping him and witnessing the binding method used on the large creature beside him, Long Kun finally understood his boss's intention and felt angry at the Golden Bull Hound's recent actions.

"You damn well tried to scheme against me! If I don't make you suffer a bit, do you really think your Grandpa Long Kun is a pushover?"

As Long Kun's words fell, he stomped with crushing force onto the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound's neck, forcibly dislocating its enormous head from its steel-like body. Its powerful life force rapidly faded within a very short time.

From then on, the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound completely lost its ability to resist, lying gasping for breath in the middle of the plain battlefield below.

It was immediately surrounded by dozens of mercenary soldiers.

"Oh, what's the meaning of this?" Long Kun asked with a slightly perplexed smile, questioning the dozens of mercenary soldiers before him. "This place doesn't seem to belong to you."

Meanwhile, Xu Yang and the two others slowly emerged from the rear, positioning themselves behind Long Kun. However, all three still restrained their auras, appearing like ordinary young cultivators.

The four gathered together, yet they still brought no deterrence whatsoever to the fifty-plus battle-hardened mercenary veterans before them. Instead, it only made them see even more clearly that this was a naive and young team.

"Invincible Mercenary Group, heh heh heh, you're really just a few greenhorns. You look like nobles from Jialan City. Your demeanor is quite different, but your actions aren't necessarily powerful. A team of young masters and ladies like yours is truly not suited for this place. If you're willing to give up the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound as spoils, I can speak for them and let the four of you leave safely. Don't leave Jialan City again in the future. This is simply not your battlefield, and the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound is certainly not something someone like you can handle."

Long Kun couldn't be bothered with his nonsense. He stood directly behind Xu Yang, letting his boss handle this troublesome matter. He preferred to act as a personal enforcer; it was much more satisfying for him to strike wherever Xu Yang pointed.

"Heh heh, this Golden Bull Hound was indeed brought down by my brother personally. For you to openly steal someone else's achievements like this is a bit unreasonable. Don't talk nonsense in front of us. I just want one answer from you right now: Do you want to fight for this Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound, or will you give it up? Be direct."

The leader of the mercenary group, seeing Xu Yang's decisive and straightforward manner, stopped beating around the bush.

"Since you're being so direct, I'll be direct too. We are determined to get the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound; anyone who dares to take it from us, we'll kill. I don't care what your identities are. Here in Kunlun Abyss, who cares who anyone is? There are only eternal interests, no eternal friends or enemies."

No sooner had the leader finished speaking than his head fell to the ground the very next second. No one could discern what power had severed the head of this mercenary alliance leader.

Xu Yang's face still held a faint, serene smile, as he calmly swept his gaze over the fifty-plus mercenary soldiers around him.

"You bastards, you actually used a trick and ambushed us!" roared the vice-leader. "Brothers, let's go! Flay these four ignorant brats alive!"

The vice-leader roared, and fifty-plus mercenary soldiers charged towards Xu Yang and his three companions. Xu Yang still stood with his hands clasped behind his back. With a slight movement of his foot, a vast wave of energy instantly spread outwards from around his body.

The terrifying wave of power instantly shattered the fifty-plus mercenary soldiers before them into dust, leaving no trace of their bodies or bones.

"A group of ants unaware of their own demise," Xu Yang's cold voice resonated. "They completely lost their true nature to desire. These people have lost their bottom line; they are not worthy of sympathy."

Xu Yang's cold voice also displayed his kingly demeanor. In front of Xu Yang, no one dared to bargain; if they did, they would only face the arrival of Xu Yang's wrath.

"I have given them more than one chance," Xu Yang said. "But they didn't know how to cherish it. Then it's not our fault."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, with a gentle wave of his palm, the enormous body of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Bull Hound was directly absorbed into his inner space. This marked the successful acquisition of the team's first trophy in the Kunlun Abyss.

Although this Hundred-Eyed Hound had already been promised to the five members of the Old Driver team, it felt more like the prelude to the four-person team's expedition and battles in this vast and boundless abyss.
