Yin Hu's internal energy was already mostly depleted, and he had also suffered internal injuries. At this moment, he was only holding on with a fierce and courageous spirit.

Li Fu anticipated every move of his swordsmanship, and with the Qiankun Great Shift technique in operation, he could always attack where Li Fu had to defend and intercept the point where Li Fu's energy was transferred.

Within five or six moves, Li Fu saw that Yin Hu's sword technique was exhausted, his old strength was depleted and his new strength had not yet been generated, and his right palm had already struck out several times in succession with the "Regretful Dragon" technique towards Yin Hu's chest!

Tiger still wanted to resist.

The hunting knife in his hand was knocked out of his hand by the powerful palm strikes, and flew far away. Then, with a muffled thud, the palm strikes landed solidly on Yin Hu's chest!

"puff--!"

Yin Hu coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, leaving a long trail on the grass. After struggling for a moment, he finally stopped moving.

Li Fushou stepped forward, and Yin Hu's eyes were unfocused, his internal organs were turned to mush, and he was barely breathing. He muttered to himself, "What a pity..."

"You won."

He failed; in the end, he couldn't kill Li Fu, this formidable opponent, with his own hands, and instead, he became the prey.

Although Li Fu felt no pity, he did feel a slight sense of approval and did not deliver another blow.

In his final moments, Tiger's gaze fell upon Dog, who was locked in combat with two women in the distance, and he whispered, "Be careful... that wild dog... don't die at his hands..."

He warned Li Fumo not to be careless, as it would be a great pity to die at the hands of the Xu dogs he despised.

As they were talking, Yin Hu, whose injuries were too severe, breathed his last.

Having dealt with Tiger, Li Fu suddenly turned his gaze to Dog, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Song and Wei.

"How could it be so fast?!"

The Dog (戌) had been preoccupied with the main battle, and when it saw the Tiger (寅) be defeated and killed in just a few moves, its expression changed drastically, and it was horrified.

He thought that even if Yin Hu showed signs of being outmatched, he could at least fight to the death and then fight for dozens more moves. He never expected that he would be defeated so quickly and thoroughly!

A martial arts master's last stand should be the most terrifying, perhaps even resulting in mutual destruction, but when it happened to Li Fu, it didn't even cause a ripple.

Little did he know that Li Fu had already seen through all of Yin Hu's sword techniques and attacked his weaknesses with every move. The one move that injured Yin Hu was not a lucky one; Yin Hu's swift defeat at Li Fu's hands was inevitable.

Even if a person's moves have no secrets, their final counterattack is meaningless.

"Oh no, if Yin Hu dies like this, I'm doomed!"

The dog was startled and immediately wanted to retreat. Its moves became chaotic, and it tried to find an opening to escape.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Song Zhaoxue and Wei Ying's teamwork became increasingly seamless. After several days of fighting against masters, their combat experience greatly increased, and their martial arts skills became even more exquisite, completely blocking Xu Gou's retreat.

If these two were placed at the beginning, their strength would already be enough to fight one-on-one with the previous Rat, Rooster, and others.

"I'll do it."

Li Fu hurried over, believing that in order to obtain the reward of mastering the Yi Jin Jing, he should personally eliminate these thugs.

He strode forward and unleashed a powerful move, "Crossing the Great River," unleashing the mighty palm force of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, like a raging dragon, aimed straight at the Dog.

The dog was already flustered and confused, and was also restrained by the two women. How could it withstand Li Fu's all-out attack?

With a muffled thud, Xu Gou was knocked back with a groan. Before he could even regain his footing, Li Fu immediately followed up with several palm strikes.

He still had some approval of the Tiger.

This dog, like a stray dog on the roadside, was filled with nothing but disdain and murderous intent.

"The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth: The Dragon's Regret!"

Xu Gou had mastered the art of martial arts, possessing his own internal energy. Despite being a dwarf, he was a master of solid, hard-hitting skills. Unfortunately, he was no match for Li Fu.

After exchanging a few blows with him, Li Fu actually gained more power to unleash the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth technique.

After several moves, Li Fu combined the force from the previous moves, including the energy from the Dog's attack, with the accumulated power from the Dragon's Regret, and unleashed it all in one palm strike.

Its power was truly like a raging storm crashing against the shore!

In a flash, the dog's eyes widened, and by the time it realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Unable to withstand the blow, he was struck in the chest by Li Fu's astonishing palm strike.

His chest visibly caved in, blood gushed from his mouth, and he flew several feet backward, crashing to the ground convulsing, clearly dead.

At this moment, the owner died, and the golden retriever that had been quietly waiting by the edge of the woods seemed to be in a daze and slowly walked over.

This dog is quite large, with glossy fur and gentle eyes; anyone who sees it will easily feel a sense of goodwill towards it.

It walked to the body of the short, stocky dwarf, gently nudged its master's body with its nose, and let out a low whimper, as if in sorrow, but did not bark and howl like a typical fierce dog.

Before he died, the dwarf used his last strength to push the big dog's head and said intermittently, "Quick...go quickly..."

The golden retriever did not leave; it simply stood there quietly.

"Is this the Dog (戌)?"

It doesn't seem like... anything particularly impressive.

Seeing that the powerful enemy had been defeated, Song Zhaoxue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the dwarf's corpse.

Li Fu raised an eyebrow, looking at the corpse, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

If the Dog's methods and martial arts skills are only at this level, why would the Tiger give a special reminder before dying? Could such a person really pose a threat to him?

Just as the three of them relaxed their guard—

"Li Fu, you killed my brother... I will avenge my brother!"

On the hillside, a deep, hoarse, yet exceptionally clear voice suddenly rang out!

"Who is speaking?"

Li Fu, Song Zhaoxue, and Wei Ying were all startled and looked around in the direction of the sound, but there was no one else there.

My gaze eventually fell involuntarily on the gentle golden retriever!

The big dog slowly turned its head, and its originally gentle, glass-like eyes now revealed an extremely human-like complex look—a mixture of sadness and hatred!

Under the three men's glaring gazes, what was even more chilling was that its open mouth once again uttered human words: "I will make you... pay for my elder brother's death!"

"The dog...the dog talked?!"

Wei Ying gasped in shock, her pretty face turning deathly pale. She almost wondered if she had been poisoned and was hallucinating.

"You... youkai!"

Song Zhaoxue was also shocked and horrified, instinctively taking a half step back. The bizarre scene before her was completely beyond her comprehension.

Even Li Fu was deeply shaken.

It's unheard of for a dog to speak human language with such clear logic and hatred!

For a moment, even with his exceptional composure, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Let alone him, anyone in the world, any expert, would be astonished and stunned upon seeing this scene that defies common sense, and would doubt whether they were hallucinating.

In that split second, as the three were utterly shocked, their minds reeling, and unable to maintain their composure—

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

The golden retriever opened its big mouth wide.

He actually spat out more than a dozen cold stars from his mouth; they were actually silver needles laced with deadly poison!

Its momentum was swift and rapid, enveloping Li Fu and his two companions from the upper, middle, and lower levels!

At the same time, the big dog suddenly pushed off the ground with all four limbs, raising dust, and its massive body pounced towards the three unsettled people like an arrow released from a bow!

Its attack is far more agile and swift than that of a tiger.

"There's a monster!!"

Wei Ying cried out in extreme horror.

In Song Zhaoxue and Wei Ying's eyes, this "monster" who could speak human language and suddenly launch attacks was more terrifying than any enemy with high martial arts skills.

That fear of the unknown and of things that defy common sense instantly seized their minds, leaving them only able to frantically resist.

Just as the poisoned needle was about to strike, the vicious dog pounced!

"No, he's not a dog!"

Li Fu's willpower was far stronger than that of ordinary people. Although he was shocked at first, at the critical moment, he swiftly swung out his palms, and the wind from his palms swept away most of the poison needles that were aimed at him and the two women.

At the same time, he swiftly dodged the vicious dog's attack.

Just now, filled with astonishment and suspicion, he keenly noticed a few details.

When this dog speaks, its tongue is shaped slightly differently from a real dog's tongue, appearing to be wider and shorter;

Those eyes were different from the truly black eyes of a dog, with almost no white showing; the gleam in them was something no beast could possess!

"Come to your senses, this is someone disguised as a dog!"

Li Fu shouted sharply, his voice like thunder, jolting Song Zhaoxue and Wei Ying, who were still in shock.

It must be admitted that this person disguised as a dog possessed unparalleled skill in concealed weapons, making him truly terrifying!

Not only can he spew poison needles from his mouth, but when he pounces, raises his leg, shakes his body, and whips his tail, countless small hidden weapons such as poisoned silver needles, throwing knives, and iron caltrops are shot out like a rainstorm!

His entire body seemed to have transformed into a moving trap, and with a flick of his wrist, it was as if a thousand needles were being fired simultaneously.

Even the most skilled martial artist, with eight arms, would find it difficult to withstand the relentless barrage of hidden weapons that penetrate every nook and cranny!

Moreover, this person's internal strength is also extremely profound. When he pounces and bites, the force is fierce enough to split stone tablets and shatter rocks, which shows that his martial arts skills are extremely high.

The hidden weapon he launched was incredibly powerful, even penetrating the outer layer of Li Fu's protective Nine Yang True Qi!

While using his palms to deflect the overwhelming barrage of hidden weapons, Li Fu said in a deep voice:

"You're wrong, Rooster. Among the twelve fierce signs, there are not four, but five people who can break through my protective aura head-on. You are the hidden fifth expert!"

Are you the real Dog of the Dog?

Or is the Dog (戌) actually two people, a pair of brothers?

"That's right, the Dog (戌) is actually two people; this is a secret that no living person knows!"

Li Fu's initial surprise and doubt vanished.

He let out a long roar, ignoring the still dense barrage of hidden weapons, and charged forward with all his might, unleashing the full power of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, his palm force overwhelming the mountains and seas.

Hidden weapons rained down like a storm.

However, Li Fu not only possessed the Nine Yang True Qi to protect his body, but also had mastered the Iron Shirt technique, making his skin incredibly tough and difficult to damage with ordinary swords and knives.

Although the barrage of hidden weapons from the dog could penetrate his powerful inner energy, their remaining force had weakened, resulting in a series of clanging sounds.

The arrow struck Li Fu as if hitting metal, merely piercing his clothes without leaving a white mark, before he fell limply to the ground.

"Mastery of external martial arts?!"

The eyes of the dog, disguised as dog eyes, revealed an expression of disbelief and horror.

His skill with hidden weapons, combined with his profound internal strength, has caused countless masters to die under his unexpected and relentless barrage of hidden weapons. But today, he has met his nemesis!

The eyes of the dog, disguised as dog eyes, revealed an expression of disbelief and horror.

This real Dog (戌狗) possesses eighty percent of his skill in hidden weapons and his astonishing disguise. Although he has profound internal strength, his close-combat skills are relatively mediocre.

With the hidden weapons proving ineffective, they were immediately overwhelmed by the close-range attacks of a top expert like Li Fu.

Within five or six moves, Li Fu had already knocked away his blocking forelimb with one palm, and then landed a solid palm strike between his chest and abdomen with the other.

"Bang!"

The dog let out a miserable howl, sent flying through the air by the blow, crashing heavily to the ground, rolling several times, spitting out blood, severely injured and unable to stand up.

Even now, after the dog was defeated, Song Zhaoxue and Wei Ying still couldn't quite believe what was happening before their eyes, and were still filled with shock.

"The ability of the Rabbit to disguise itself as a man from a woman is already an extremely skillful one... But... how can a person disguise themselves as a dog?"

The difference in their body sizes is just too huge!

Li Fu slowly withdrew his palm.

"It's very simple. Because he himself is a dwarf."

"Just like his older brother."

Two dwarfs, one disguised as a dog rider to attract attention, and the other carefully disguised as a docile large dog to arouse suspicion.

Even if the person riding the dog is defeated, the dog can suddenly launch an attack, speaking human language to create panic and unleashing a barrage of hidden weapons... It's truly impossible to defend against.

The name "戌狗" (Xu Gou) probably refers mostly to this particular dog.

Unfortunately, this time, Li Fu attacked too fiercely, and Brother Xu Gou was killed in the blink of an eye.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhaoxue recalled the horror she had felt from the dog speaking human language earlier and had to admit that this move was indeed brilliant, she sighed.

"The twelve murderous signs are indeed all cunning and unpredictable in their assassination methods, and cannot be judged by ordinary standards."

Fortunately, there are only a few of them left now.

The Dog (戌狗) suffered a heavy blow from Li Fuyi, breaking several ribs, injuring its internal organs, and gushing blood from its mouth. It was already critically injured and on the verge of death.

He collapsed to the ground, his limbs still in an oddly curled position, but his eyes were fixed on Yin Hu's cold corpse not far away, revealing deep sorrow.

Li Fu did not immediately step forward to settle the matter, but instead stared at him and asked.

"However, there's still one thing I don't understand."

During our fight, I realized that you were not some kind of monster or demon, but just a disguised person pretending to be a ghost. My surprise at you has dissipated.

Why do you... still refuse to stand up and fight me as a human being?

Your constant prone, all-over-the-ground attack greatly restricts your movement.

Moreover, I can see that you have strong internal strength and are skilled in using hidden weapons, but you are completely ignorant of fist and foot techniques, and even... do not know how to punch and kick in a human way.

Even before I knocked you away, you were on all fours, like a wild beast.

You've gotten so used to playing the dog that you've even...actually started to see yourself as a dog?

The dog struggled to turn its eyes and looked at Li Fu: "What's wrong with being a dog...?"

These words startled both Song Zhaoxue and Wei Ying.

What's so great about being a dog?

This is utterly absurd. Humans are the most intelligent of all beings; how can they be compared to dogs?

Not to mention someone who is capable of being human but willingly pretends to be a dog?

Li Fu did not refute him, but simply looked at him quietly.

"You able-bodied people wouldn't understand these things."

The dog took a few breaths and continued.

"My older brother and I... were born looking like this."

Dwarf, freak.
