Chapter 169: Chapter 171: You are the Dog

Mu Can guessed that the Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Pearl must undoubtedly be a dog; otherwise, it wouldn’t have such a biting fascination.

At this moment, the Reincarnation Pearl was hanging above the only remaining head of the Demon Lord, desperately devouring what was left of the Demon Lord’s life force.

The once unbeatable Demon Lord now panicked like a child facing danger.

"Who exactly are you? Who dared to scheme against me?" The frenzied head tore through the sky and even burrowed into the ground.

This also demonstrated how formidable the Demon Lord’s power was; even with just a head remaining, he could stir up a mighty storm. Mingyang City, already a deep pit, now collapsed under the impact of the Demon Lord’s head, burying it directly below.

"Is the Reincarnation Pearl okay?" Mu Can prepared to take action; the Demon Lord wasn’t easy to deal with.

"Don’t worry, the energy contained in the Reincarnation Pearl is so terrifying that even I feel deeply afraid. If you weren’t the owner of the Reincarnation Pearl, you wouldn’t dare to scheme against it like this. Even as a mere dog, the Artifact Spirit of the Reincarnation Pearl is no ordinary dog."

Purple Cloud was filled with confidence in the Reincarnation Pearl, only someone who had lived inside it for years like her could truly comprehend its terrifying aspects. Just the seemingly endless soul energy in the first layer of the Reincarnation Pearl was enough to shock anyone, not to mention the seven layers that Mu Can hadn’t even opened yet.

"Ah! Who is it?" The Demon Lord might be the second person to experience the Reincarnation Pearl’s torment; it seemed to drive him insane, sticking to him stubbornly like a clingy candy, making the Demon Lord feel like he was about to be sucked dry.

Not only that, but this strange pearl bit him while also taunting him with words.

"So stinky, so stinky, I’ll bite you to death, you big fool, woof."

"Making me throw you over, I’ll bite you to death, bite you to death."

"Dare to mess with me, watch me bite off your dog head."

The Demon Lord was almost driven mad, as you yourself are like a dog, yet you curse at me.

"Damn it, capsized in the gutter." That was the Demon Lord’s last conscious thought, then he fainted due to excessive loss of life force.

Reluctantly, the Reincarnation Pearl slowly flew back to Mu Can with the Demon Lord’s head.

Seeing the powerful Demon Lord defeated by the Reincarnation Pearl, Dumb Dumb quickly hid behind Mu Can, looking scared of the Reincarnation Pearl.

"Here! I’ve sealed this guy; alright, don’t call me for nothing in the future." The Reincarnation Pearl casually tossed the Demon Lord’s head to Mu Can’s feet and transformed into a stream of light that entered Mu Can’s body.

"So sassy, could the Reincarnation Pearl be female?" Mu Can awkwardly touched his nose.

"Woof, you’re the female one, you are definitely the female one," the voice of the Reincarnation Pearl came from inside his body.

It seemed that Mu Can’s strength hadn’t yet reached the level to make the Reincarnation Pearl recognize him fully; since revealing its true body, the Reincarnation Pearl had never shown Mu Can a good face, always maintaining an indifferent attitude.

"Wake him up, let’s interrogate him." Seeing this, Purple Cloud also relaxed. With the Reincarnation Pearl taking action, this Demon Lord was unlikely to stir up any more trouble.

The Demon Lord was only in a deep slumber due to the severe loss of Life Force, and Mu Can fed him an elixir, though it wasn’t the type that could greatly restore Life Force, but rather one that could stimulate vitality.

Slowly, the Demon Lord opened his eyes and surveyed the few people around him.

When they met the gaze of the Demon Lord, even though they knew his powers were sealed, Mu Can and his fellows still felt a tightening in their hearts, sensing immense pressure.

"Was it you who ambushed me?" The Demon Lord, feeling completely drained of strength, growled at Mu Can, knowing he was sealed.

"So what if it was? You dared to invade the Mortal World; you should have anticipated such a day," Mu Can replied calmly in the face of the raging Demon Lord.

"I, who once dominated the Demon World, never expected to fall in the Mortal World. Alas, each has their fate, and ultimately one cannot defy the heavens." The maxim of the victor ruling being a principle upheld in the Demon World, no matter what, now that he was in Mu Can’s hands, he had no objections.

Even though it wasn’t because Mu Can had defeated him, the Demon World was a place that disregarded means, so he took it in stride.

"What exactly happened in the Demon World?" Mu Can urgently wanted to know what had transpired in the Demon World to cause such a large-scale invasion of the Mortal World.

"You don’t know?" The Demon Lord looked at Mu Can with a look that suggested he was looking at a fool; despite being at Mu Can’s mercy, it didn’t mean the Demon Lord acknowledged Mu Can’s strength.

Mu Can was unaware that the upheaval in the Mortal World had been ongoing for nearly a month, starting with the descent of the Demon World and later the arrival of the Immortal World, effectively turning the Mortal World into a battlefield as the war ravaged the entire realm.

"Are you going to talk or not?" Facing the defiant Demon Lord, even as a prisoner, Mu Can also shot a slanted look at him.

"What status do I have? Even if I’m captured by you, don’t go too far, brat. What is that look in your eyes?" The more the Demon Lord looked, the more uncomfortable he felt, as if Mu Can’s gaze was as dismissive as one would look at stray cats and dogs on the roadside.

"Still so arrogant when you’re caught?" The vengeance for the blood sacrifice of thirty thousand people in the city was still unfulfilled, and if it wasn’t for wanting to extract some information from the Demon Lord, Mu Can truly wouldn’t care about his life or death.

"What can you do to me?" The Demon Lord tilted his head, ignoring Mu Can.

"Shut the door and release the dogs." After pondering, Mu Can called forth the Reincarnation Pearl, knowing that even if the Demon Lord stood there letting him strike, he might not be able to harm him, but that didn’t mean Mu Can was without means.

"Bark bark bark, didn’t you say not to summon me if there’s nothing important? I’ll bite." The moment the Reincarnation Pearl appeared, it immediately bit down on the Demon Lord’s head.

"Ah ah ah! You damn dog, you infuriate me!" In order to escape the Demon World, the Demon Lord had truly given up a lot. Just sending men to find a suitable city to establish the Demon Summoning Array had caused the loss of more than half of his subordinates to even arrive in the Mortal World.

But after arriving, he was first struck by lightning, leaving only his head, and now he was being bitten by a dog. Even though this dog was just the Artifact Spirit of a Magic Treasure, the Demon Lord could sense that before becoming the Artifact Spirit of this mysterious bead, this dog was just an ordinary dog.

"You’re the dog, your whole family are dogs." The Reincarnation Pearl bit down even harder, being summoned by Mu Can with already a belly full of anger, perfectly timing the Demon Lord’s provocation.

However, this time the Reincarnation Pearl didn’t absorb the Demon Lord’s Life Force, otherwise, in just a moment, the Demon Lord would certainly have been bitten to death.

"Ah ah ah, I’m wrong, stop biting!" Now, the Demon Lord looked at the Reincarnation Pearl with utter fear.

Even as the Demon Lord, when faced with such a mysterious Magic Treasure like the Reincarnation Pearl, he was deeply wary, let alone that his life was now in the hands of the Reincarnation Pearl.
