My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

"boom!

The demon dog had an amazing jumping ability; it leaped more than two meters and pounced on the group.

"what!"

Before a soldier could dodge or retaliate, a demonic dog bit his neck, its piercing scream shattering the night sky.

"Something's wrong, come with me quickly."

Upon hearing the screams, the other patrol teams quickly approached where Li Xuancang and his group were.

A demonic dog lunged at Li Xuancang, but he reacted quickly and dodged it.

The demonic hound missed its first attack, and a hint of anger appeared in its green-glowing pupils. It pushed off the ground with its limbs and pounced on Li Xuancang again.

The demon hound was too fast for Li Xuancang to dodge, so he had no choice but to take the hit.

"what!"

With a roar, Li Xuancang mustered all his strength and thrust his spear at the demon dog.

Faced with the spear attack, the demon dog twisted its body at an incredible angle to avoid the spear and slapped the spear with its paw.

The immense force traveled through the spear to Li Xuancang's body, causing his tiger's mouth to split open and his entire arm to go numb.

Li Xuancang's eyes widened in horror. He hadn't expected that even though his power had increased so much, the gap between him and the demon hound was still so vast.

Although it failed to hit the demon dog, it still caused the demon dog to change its movements and its attack to falter.

Li Xuancang quickly regained his senses, seized the opportunity to roll on the ground, and narrowly avoided the demon dog's landing spot.

"Bang!"

The demonic hound landed, its sharp claws leaving several deep scratches on the ground.

Li Xuancang's pupils shrank as he dodged the fatal blow. If that claw had landed on him, he would have been torn to shreds and might even have lost his life.

"escape."

Li Xuancang turned around hastily, with only one thought in mind: to escape at all costs, to get as far away as possible.

One demonic dog could kill him, let alone eight demonic dogs here. If he stayed, he would only face certain death.

"Ugh!"

Having failed to kill Li Xuancang twice in a row, the demonic hound was thoroughly enraged and quickly chased after the fleeing Li Xuancang.

"what!"

Another heart-wrenching scream rang out, and more soldiers fell victim to the demonic hounds.

Hearing the screams behind him, Li Xuancang didn't stop for a moment and quickened his pace.

The demonic hound relentlessly pursued him, its foul, demonic aura spreading outwards.

"No, I can't outrun it."

The two sides were getting closer and closer, and before Li Xuancang could escape to the military camp, he would be caught up by the demon dogs.

Thinking of this, Li Xuancang suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face hardening, ready to fight the demon dog to the death.

The demon hound was surprised that Li Xuancang would stop, but it reacted quickly, locking its gaze on Li Xuancang, its sharp claws flashing with a cold, eerie light, and pounced on him.

Li Xuancang was breathing heavily, his heart was racing, and his body was soaked in cold sweat.

Facing the demonic hound alone, his chances of survival were slim.

But he has no other choice now; only a desperate gamble will give him a sliver of hope.

"kill!"

With a loud shout, Li Xuancang brandished his iron spear and charged towards the demonic hound.

"puff!"

As the man and the dog clashed, blood splattered everywhere.

Li Xuancang's shoulder was struck by the demon dog's claws, leaving several deep wounds that exposed bone, and blood flowed uncontrollably.

"what!"

As the excruciating pain shot through him, Li Xuancang became even more frenzied. He pierced the demon dog's vulnerable abdomen with his iron spear, enduring the agony and using all his strength to lunge forward, pushing the demon dog backward.

The demonic dog, in pain, gleamed even brighter with green light in its eyes and wildly clawed at Li Xuancang.

Li Xuancang hurriedly dodged, but was still scratched by the sharp claws, resulting in numerous wounds on his chest from which blood flowed freely.

Having suffered repeated severe blows and lost a large amount of blood, Li Xuancang felt dizzy and lightheaded, almost collapsing to the ground.

"If I fall, I will die. I can't fall, I can't fall..."

Li Xuancang knew the consequences of collapsing, but his indomitable will held him up. He even bit his tongue hard, trying to keep himself awake with another kind of excruciating pain.

"puff!"

With Li Xuancang's desperate efforts, the iron spear pierced the demon dog's abdomen.

"what!"

Li Xuancang used his last bit of strength to push the demon dog away, then everything went black and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"kill!"

As Li Xuancang fell to the ground, the other teams arrived and quickly attacked.

"It's a demonic dog! Kill it!"

When the crowd saw the demonic dog, its abdomen pierced by Li Xuancang and dripping with blood, they were first shocked, then rushed forward.

The demon dog was severely injured and at its weakest point. Taking advantage of its weakness, the group quickly killed it.

Zhao Changlin, the general of a hundred men, looked at the corpse of the demon dog, then shifted his gaze to the unconscious Li Xuancang. He squatted down and found that Li Xuancang was still alive, but his breath was weak, like a candle in the wind, which might be extinguished at any moment.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhao Changlin ordered, "He's still breathing. Take him back to the camp. Whether he survives or not depends on his fate."

There were only Li Xuancang and the demon dog around, and it was clear that Li Xuancang had severely injured the demon dog with his life.

A warrior capable of severely injuring a demonic hound is a rare find, and Zhao Changlin, recognizing his talent, ordered someone to bring him back to the military camp.

If Li Xuancang is lucky enough to survive, he will gain another fierce general under his command.

If Li Xuancang doesn't make it through, he won't suffer any loss.

"Lord Zhao, we'll take him back to the military camp right away."

Two soldiers quickly stepped forward and carried Li Xuancang back to the military camp.

Seeing this, the others looked grim, regretting that they had reacted too slowly.

Zhao Changlin was aware of what everyone was thinking, but he didn't care.

"Follow me and kill!"

With a roar, everyone followed Zhao Changlin and charged towards the demon dog.

After Wang Xiaoniu and his companion carried Li Xuancang back to the military camp, they looked at the still bleeding Li Xuancang and shook their heads helplessly.

"The injuries are so severe, there's no hope of saving him."

Li Xuancang's injuries were too severe, with many wounds so deep that bone was visible, and he was almost disemboweled. The fact that he was still alive had greatly surprised the two of them.

"We were saved because of him, let's treat his wounds!"

Wang Daniu looked at Li Xuancang's gruesome wounds and decided to bandage them for him.

If it weren't for Li Xuancang, the two of them would still have had to fight alongside Zhao Changlin and the demon dog. Li Xuancang had indirectly helped them, and they wanted to do their best.

Wang Xiaoniu nodded slightly, and the two quickly brought over hot water.

After treating Li Xuancang's wounds simply, a layer of ointment was applied.

"We've done our best. Whether you survive or not is up to you."

The two of them had done everything they could, and even if Li Xuancang never woke up again, they had no regrets.

The battle lasted for most of the night, until the demon hounds retreated, leaving behind the corpses of five of their companions.

The military camp also suffered considerable losses, with more than ten soldiers and more than forty conscripts killed in action, four squad leaders seriously wounded, and Zhao Changlin also sustaining some injuries.

A sense of sorrow permeated the entire military camp. The soldiers were numb, their eyes vacant, and they could see no future.
