Me! A high-ranking official!

Ten minutes later.

Led by staff from the dog farm, Zhao Jianguo, barefoot and shirtless, walked alone into the cold, damp underground passage.

Beyond the iron gate in front was a patch of dark red mud.

He stood at the entrance to the dark passageway, looking up.

Outside the three-meter-high barbed wire fence, hundreds of gamblers, driven to madness, were densely packed together. Their eyes were bloodshot, they waved banknotes in their hands, looked down at him, and uttered deafening curses and roars.

"Tear him to pieces!!!"

"Bite him to death! Leave him without a bone!"

In this closed underground den of iniquity, the most primal and ugliest bloodlust in human nature is amplified countless times.

"when……!!!"

With a piercing gong sound.

The iron gate in front of him slowly rose. He took a deep breath of the air, which was filled with the strong smell of blood, and stepped into the mud pit in front of him.

Almost at the same second he stepped into the pit, the passageway door on the other side burst open!

"Roar...wooo!!!"

A terrifying roar, with a metallic, tearing quality, instantly drowned out all the other noise in the room!

Four dog trainers, even stronger than before, struggled to pull themselves out of the dark passage, almost dragging each other along with four iron chains as thick as a baby's arm!

At the end of the chain, Boss Yang stood there with a ferocious expression. In front of him was a huge, suffocating black beast!

That's a purebred Neapolitan Mastiff!

It was a whole size bigger than the Caucasian Archangel we'd just seen! Its entire body was covered in exaggerated wrinkles, like it was wearing a thick layer of black armor, and the eyes hidden beneath those wrinkles gleamed with an extremely cruel, bloodthirsty yellow-green light!

There was no need to gather strength at all; just standing there, the chilling sense of oppression instantly silenced the gamblers outside the barbed wire who were shouting wildly. Some were even so frightened that their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground!

"Hahaha! Kid, did you see that?! That's Death itself!" Boss Yang stood behind the giant beast, trembling with excitement. "Today, I'm going to watch you get torn to pieces by it!"

"when……!!!"

The second gong signaling the start of the battle rang out!

The four dog trainers simultaneously unfastened the chain buckles, then fled frantically into the depths of the passage as if they had seen a ghost!

"roar!!!"

The black Neapolitan Mastiff, now freed from its restraints, did not pounce like an ordinary fighting dog. Instead, it let out a low growl from its throat, and like a heavy tank, it charged and crushed towards Zhao Jianguo with a suffocating, foul stench!

It moved incredibly fast, covering more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, and that gaping maw full of fangs headed straight for Zhao Jianguo's throat!

Its massive body spurted the mud and water at the bottom of the pit more than a meter high!

Everyone outside the barbed wire held their breath, and Boss Yang's sinister grin had completely spread across his face.

In that split second, Zhao Jianguo stood still, without moving an inch!

"He's terrified!" someone exclaimed.

"He's finished, haha, he's done for!"

Just as the big dog was about to pounce on Zhao Jianguo, at the critical moment...

Zhao Jianguo's eyes narrowed, and the terrifying power that had been dormant in his body after being modified by the Treasure Basin suddenly erupted like a flood breaking through a dam!

They did not back down, nor did they choose to engage in a protracted fight like Li Gan did.

He simply shifted his body slightly to the left, thus avoiding the opponent's attack!

"call……!"

The black behemoth, carrying terrifying momentum, missed its target almost by grazing his chest!

Just as the giant beast's massive head brushed past, exposing its softest throat to the air!

His right leg, like a steel whip, kicked out fiercely from bottom to top!

"Bang!!!"

A tremendous, muffled thud resounded!

The kick was so fast and powerful that the black Neapolitan Mastiff, which was as big as a small car and weighed over 100 kilograms, didn't even have time to let out a scream before its massive body was kicked more than a meter into the air!

"Snap!!!"

The extremely crisp sound of the neck bones shattering clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Clatter."

Half a second later.

The terrifying beast that was so arrogant just a moment ago crashed heavily into the mud like an extremely heavy bag of garbage.

Its thick neck was twisted at an extremely bizarre angle, and dark red blood gushed wildly from its huge mouth. Its massive body convulsed violently twice in the pool of blood, emitting a very weak groan, and then its limbs suddenly stiffened and became completely still.

Sold out instantly.

A true instant kill!

The entire underground casino was deathly silent, with only the pool of blood at the bottom of the pit still spreading, silently telling the horrific truth of what had just happened.

Dead silence.

The entire underground dog kennel fell into a deathly silence for a full half minute.

There were no cheers, no shouts, only the blood gushing from the throat of the black behemoth at the bottom of the pit, and the chilling gurgling sound.

"ah……!!!"

A piercing scream, as if the father had just died, suddenly shattered the deathly silence!

Boss Yang's knees buckled, and he collapsed to his knees before the barbed wire fence. His hands gripped the fence tightly, his eyes bloodshot, as he howled in anguish, "My dog! My Ba Hu!!! Impossible! This can't be!!!"

With Boss Yang's desperate wail, the hundreds of gamblers who had been watching in disbelief suddenly snapped out of their daze and erupted in a thunderous scream, almost blowing off the tin roof of the tent!

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What did I just see?!"

"One kick... just one kick?! That's a 200-pound Neapolitan Mammoth! His neck was broken with one kick?!"

"Is this kid a monster?! Is he Bruce Lee reincarnated or Wu Song descending from the mountain?!"

Shocked, fearful, and incredulous conversations rose and fell, as everyone stared at the shirtless young man at the bottom of the pit, barely breathing, as if he were a monster.

"We won...we won! Jian Guo won!!!"

On the outskirts of the crowd, Liu Tao was so overjoyed that his voice cracked. He jumped half a meter high like a madman, waving his arms and shouting wildly. Tears mixed with jubilant snot streamed down his face as he roared hysterically, "Hahaha! We're rich! We won! Jianguo, you're a god!!!"

At the bottom of the pit, Zhao Jianguo didn't even glance at the dead dog on the ground again, and turned around expressionlessly and walked into the dark passage.

As soon as I stepped out of the passageway, a dark figure, accompanied by a strong stench of sweat, rushed towards me.

"Jianguo! My dear brother! My living ancestor!" Liu Tao hugged Zhao Jianguo tightly, so excited that his whole body was shaking, and he wiped his snot and tears all over Zhao Jianguo.

"Get lost, how disgusting!" Zhao Jianguo frowned, shoved him away with disgust, and shook his hand. "Stop wailing here, go and claim your prize."

As he walked out, his gaze swept across the distance not far away.

Just moments ago, Boss Yang was arrogant and domineering, but now he was slumped in the arms of several people. When he saw Zhao Jianguo again, this nouveau riche who had been running rampant in Linshui County for many years suddenly trembled as if he had seen a ghost, his lips turned blue, and he couldn't utter a single word. He didn't even have the courage to look at him a second time.

The two strode over to the betting area.

This time, without Zhao Jianguo even needing to speak, Liu Tao, full of energy, pounded on the glass of the cashier's counter, his back straighter than a javelin, and shouted, "Settle the accounts! Transfer our money over here! And that fat guy surnamed Yang lost ten million! That was money my brother risked his life to win back!"

When the phrase "risking her life" was mentioned, Liu Tao couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Fighting with all your might? That was too easy! In less than five seconds, without even breaking a sweat, they swept away ten million and emptied the entire betting pool!

The cashier manager was sweating profusely, his attitude as respectful as if he were serving a grandfather, his hands trembling as he typed on the keyboard: "Mr. Zhao... your money has been fully cleared and is being transferred to your bank account. Please wait..."

"Ding!"

A crisp text message notification sounded.

Zhao Jianguo took out his phone; it was the most beautiful string of numbers he had ever seen in his life.

Dear customer, your account ending in XXXX received RMB 22000000.00 at X o'clock X minute.

Ten million was Boss Yang's life-or-death gamble, and the remaining twelve million was the betting profit that Liu Tao won with his initial capital of six million at extremely high odds!

A full twenty-two million!

Looking at the numbers on the screen, he was so excited that he gripped his phone tightly, looking at it three times before finally letting out a deep breath.

That's enough! That's finally enough!

The 20 million debt owed to the King of Hell has finally been completely collected!
