Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 176 Sneak Attack
He subconsciously looked down and saw that he had stepped on half of a rotten dog leg.

There was a rusty pet collar on Senbai's leg bone, with the word "Taro" engraved on it.

"I have a bad feeling..."

"Wang!"

In response to Yang Liu's muttering, there was a dog barking from behind.

Yang Liu subconsciously wanted to turn around to deal with the unknown enemy, but the smiling face in front of him suddenly changed the direction of the mental shock wave.

The mental shock wave that originally impacted head-on turned into one from top to bottom, creating a suppression-like effect, temporarily freezing Yang Liu in place.

When Yang Liu finally broke free, the moment he turned around, the smelly canine teeth were already approaching his throat.

Yang Liu also saw the appearance of "that thing" clearly at this time: it had a body like a Shiba Inu, but a wrinkled human face!

His physical movements were restrained by the mental shock, and now it was too late to throw a punch.

Yang Liu flicked his finger and took out the steel bar hidden on the side of the backpack. With the help of his nimble wrist and the mobility of his fingers, he swung the steel bar violently, turning it into a black shadow and knocking the opponent away before his teeth could bite him.

The force of this attack was quite strong, and the left front limb of the human-faced dog was knocked into a pulp. But before it even hit the ground, its broken limbs were quickly reconstructed by the black ghost power.

To make matters worse, the laughter from the smiling face behind him became more insane, and the mental shock that followed was further intensified.

"Ah... That's right. Speaking of urban legends in tunnels, how can we ignore this?"

The legend of the human-faced dog has probably existed since the Edo period. It is a traditional horror story, but it has sparked a new wave of popularity through mass media in the 90s.

Strictly speaking, this thing should not be considered an "urban legend" but rather a "monster rumor", just like the kamaitachi and mountain demon.

Yang Liu touched the bloodstain on his neck with a grimace. If he had dodged a little slower, his throat would have been torn open.

After a long period of evolution, Yang Liu's skin has become like hardened rubber woven with steel wire. It seems that it has no protection against this guy's teeth...even though the canine teeth don't seem to be very sharp.

"Specialized in speed and attack power... Tsk, that's normal, but I don't know what the innate ability is..."

There was no time to think more, and the human-faced dog, whose body had been repaired, attacked again.

At the same time, the smiling face behind Yang Liu continued to launch mental shock waves to restrict his activities.

He pulled out a steel bar from the backpack behind him and threw it at the human-faced dog, but the beast actually dodged it in mid-air, and even showed a sarcastic sneer on his face.

Five strong gusts of wind suddenly hit him from above. Yang Liu subconsciously dodged from the side, but the continuous mental shock made his movements slightly delayed.

Yang Liu felt a pain in her shoulder and smelled a rusty smell of blood. She looked down and saw five cuts on her left shoulder that were deep enough to see the bone.

"Fuck... there are actually two of these things?!"

After dodging the attack of the human-faced dog in front of him, Yang Liu looked up and saw another human-faced dog hanging on the ceiling of the tunnel.

The faces of the two human-faced dogs are completely different. If the first one looks like a middle-aged uncle who works diligently, then the latter one looks like a biker gang who likes to race at night.

"Give it to me..." The biker dog let out an indistinct wail, "Give me your face!!!"

Yang Liu casually threw the steel bar in his hand towards the violent tribe human-faced dog like a spear:
"Get out!" The steel bar turned into a black light and pierced through the human-faced dog of the biker tribe with a sharp whistling sound.

But the opponent did not dodge or evade. Even though most of his body was shattered, it did not affect his movements at all. He kicked out his remaining hind legs and quickly bit towards Yang Liu.

During the pounce, the human-faced dog's body instantly recovered to its original state under the repair of ghost power.

Yang Liu resisted the mental suppression of the smiling human face and dodged the opponent's attack, but she felt a pain in her arm. There were several deep cuts on her right arm that could be seen to the bone - this was the work of another human-faced dog who took the opportunity to attack.

"Damn... such a troublesome talent..."

After suffering two inexplicable losses in a row, Yang Liu has become certain that the human-faced dog must have an innate ability such as "being able to reduce its own presence".

That's why he can evade his five senses and launch sneak attacks even in the heat of battle.

"If you lose sight of someone, your presence will decrease? That's similar to an urban legend..."

Fortunately, the opponent's talent was not the type that enhanced his own damage, so the bones of his arm barely blocked the attack.

Relying on her absolute control over her body, Yang Liu turned her two eyes to different directions, staring at the two human-faced dogs in different directions with an "eagle-eye" attitude.

"Woo..."

Even though they were being stared at by Yang Liu, the two human-faced dogs were not in a hurry. They just made low growls and paced around him, as if they were looking for his flaws.

"These guys are like this..."

Seeing the human-faced dog's unhurried demeanor, Yang Liu suddenly frowned and had a guess in his mind.

After taking a look at the deep wound on his right arm and the claw marks on his left shoulder, Yang Liu had the answer in his mind and secretly reached his left hand into his pocket.

The two human-faced dogs seemed to be pacing irregularly, until a certain moment, when they both moved to the right side of the willow at the same time.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

At the moment when Yang Liu's eyes shifted their gaze at the same time, the laughter of the smiling stained face suddenly burst into a higher level, and the mental shock wave that had just weakened was strengthened again, forming a powerful suppressive force on Yang Liu.

Another human-faced dog emerged silently from the darkness and suddenly attacked Yang Liu's left arm.

Even if the man's arm cannot be cut off due to the obstruction of bones, as long as his muscles are cut off, he will lose the ability to resist.

The two human-faced dogs saw a sinister look in the eyes of their attacking companion, and moved forward together, waiting for the moment when the human in front of them realized that he was being attacked and diverted his attention, and then launched an attack.

puff!
As the clothes were torn into pieces and blood and flesh splattered, they came into view. The originally sinister looks of the two human-faced dogs turned into astonishment.

"What are you surprised about?"

A triumphant smile appeared on Yang Liu's face, and she withdrew her left hand without looking away.

His left hand was already covered in scars, with a wound several dozen centimeters long that almost cut his arm in half vertically, making it nearly impossible for him to hold the kitchen knife in his hand - that was the result of the struggle of the human-faced dog that was pierced through the body by his left hand.
