I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 2073 - 2101: Er Gou’s Story (Part 3, Animal Protection Law)

Chapter 2073: Chapter 2101: Er Gou’s Story (Part 3, Animal Protection Law)

The street was silent, not a sound to be heard.

Everyone was stunned, looking at Long Haochen’s headless corpse; they felt their heads buzzing.

"Dog!"

"A dog!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Brother Long’s head was kicked away by it!"

"Run, this isn’t a dog, it’s clearly a great demon!"

The scions snapped out of it, sprinting away, disappearing from the end of the street in a blink.

And only at this moment did a touch of green light emerge from within Long Haochen’s headless corpse, forming a protective shield around it.

The onlookers gasped, recognizing this as a protective enchantment placed by the City Lord in Long Haochen’s body, set to intervene once in times of danger, strong enough to withstand a lethal strike from a Dao Fruit Realm expert.

But Ergouzi’s actions far exceeded the speed of the enchantment activation; the shield had not yet reacted when Long Haochen’s head was already sent flying.

Only now being released, it seemed ridiculously belated.

"It said its name is Liu Jinshui."

"This great demon named Liu Jinshui has unfathomable cultivation level."

"Let’s hurry and leave, once City Lord Long arrives, we won’t be able to escape!"

The cultivators swarmed towards the city gates, foreseeing an epic battle about to erupt and fearing collateral damage.

"Doggie!"

A little girl ran over, hugged Ergouzi’s neck, and gave it a smooch, her face full of delight.

Ergouzi nodded, picked up the little girl, and ran towards the city gates with the crowd.

The cultivators were terrified, thinking the great demon senior was chasing them, and ran even harder, creating a chaotic scene, with the guards still unaware of what had happened; Ergouzi just followed the crowd out of the city gates.

Outside the restaurant.

A flash of light descended, and two people stepped out.

An elder and a middle-aged man.

Looking at their own offspring’s headless corpse standing on the street, both were filled with fury.

"Who did this!"

"Whoever it was, I will kill them!"

The elder roared, the force of his voice shattering the surrounding building windows.

"It was a dog, it was a dog that did it."

"A little beggar angered Young Master Long, and that dog stood up for the beggar and killed him."

Long Haochen’s henchmen trembled as they spoke.

The middle-aged man asked, "Where did they go?"

"They fled towards the city gates."

"Chase them!"

With a flicker, the two of them vanished from the spot.

Minutes later.

Outside the city.

A fierce chase unfolded between two people and a dog.

"Dead dog, come here and die!"

"Dare to kill my son, I’ll skin you and break your bones!"

"Visualized Item [Jade Capital]!"

The middle-aged man shouted, as a cool white light descended, followed by a bright moon rising in the sky, though it was daytime, there appeared the anomaly of both sun and moon together.

The air grew tremendously heavy, and Ergouzi felt like every step was being taken in mud.

The old man slowly extended his finger, pointing at Ergouzi: "[Sun]!"

Instantly, a massive abyss split open in the void, spewing searing heat, as a fiery red sphere filled with magma slowly floated out, blocking the way.

One of Ergouzi’s paws sizzled, and it caught a whiff of roasted meat aroma.

"Sit tight, or you’ll be cold if you fall off."

Ergouzi flicked its head, tossing the little girl onto its back. The little girl grasped the dog’s fur, closing her eyes tightly, not daring to look.

"A sun and a moon, no wonder this city is named Sun and Moon City."

"If you two leave now, I can pretend nothing happened; otherwise, I can’t guarantee what comes next."

Ergouzi turned around and said calmly.

"Dad, its injuries haven’t recovered."

The middle-aged man ignored its threat, instead constantly staring at the burned paw, noticing no divine material was repairing the injury.

The elder also noticed this point, a flash of joy passing over his previously angry face.

"No divine material, this dog is an invader."

"Truly unexpected, who would have thought an unremarkable little white dog could be a Dao Fruit Realm expert?"

"Haochen demonstrated merit, capturing this dog and offering it to the Divine Children’s Garden would elevate Sun and Moon City’s status immensely."

The elder looked at Ergouzi with fervent eyes.

"Hui Ye."

The middle-aged man intoned, and the bright moon hung in the sky, pouring beams of cold moonlight upon Ergouzi.

"Only one person is acting, I can’t rush."

Ergouzi dodged left and right; the chilling aura in the moonlight could be withstood with its physical body for a moment, but the girl on its back would instantly turn into an ice corpse.

"Father, be careful, this creature is exceptionally powerful, but it’s a pity that it’s day, if it were night, it wouldn’t have room to escape."

The middle-aged man slightly frowned, knowing well the speed of the moonlight—it was almost impossible for someone of the same level to evade, they could only withstand it; yet this dog easily dodged it. Having heard that the invader’s powers were extraordinary, today he saw it was true.

"No worries, you see it hasn’t used any Law till now, indicating either its Law is weak, or specific conditions are needed to trigger it. You close off its retreat, and I’ll send it to the heavens with one strike."

The elder observed for a while, his mind set.

The enormous fireball suspended in the sky became more agitated, the temperature of the air rising ever higher.

Ergouzi’s fur emitted a burnt odor.

"It’s getting unbearable, why is this old man so slow, isn’t he going to detonate that fireball, can’t he be more straightforward?"

Ergouzi spat out a few cold aura beads to resist the high temperature.

It was waiting for the old man to make a move, knowing as soon as the fireball exploded, victory would be theirs.

"Foolish, what can a few beads do, none can withstand the sun’s brilliance!"

The old man’s laughter echoed, releasing his hesitation, convinced Ergouzi would counterattack, but seeing it was forced to use a Magic Treasure of ill repute, he no longer hesitated, immediately detonating the mini sun.

"[Nuclear Blast]!"

The fireball burst, waves of heat roiling.

Simultaneously, countless moon beams rained down, enveloping Ergouzi, restricting its movement.

"Woof, got it."

"[Animal Protection Law]!"

A sacred book floated from Ergouzi’s head, emitting a divine light, shielding all harm.

Simultaneously, lines of text rapidly appeared on its pages.

[Long Aotian, seven hundred thirty years old, Visualized Item Great Sun, Star Law, estimated to cause damage exceeding Dao Fruit Realm defense limits...]

[Long Dingtian, four hundred and one years old, Visualized Item Jade Capital, Star Law, estimated to inflict a peak Dao Fruit Realm strike’s harm...]

"You two openly abusing a dog has caused immeasurable harm to this dog; according to the code, calculating the offenses, you have three seconds to repent, judging the crime in three seconds!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Ergouzi’s words carried a sacred aura of purifying the soul.

The elder, seeing the sacred light, turned pale, grabbed the middle-aged man’s arm, and ran: "That dog was acting, it knows the Law of Order!"

"It deliberately waited for both father and son to act together before launching a judgment, aiming to eliminate us both at once; this dog has turned into a spirit, possessing such wisdom!"
