Chapter 145 Mad Dog and Hunter

Chapter 145 Mad Dog and Hunter

The wind and snow seemed to stop for a moment.

In the center of the vast, black army of death, a passage slowly opened up.

"Da, da, da."

The heavy fleshy pads pressed down on the snow with a thud that sent chills down your spine.

A giant wolf, the size of an ordinary warhorse, pure white with blood-red eyes, panted heavily as it slowly emerged from the back of the column.

Thick saliva dripped from its mouth, and a thick iron chain with spikes was around its neck, clearly indicating that it was on the verge of a violent rampage controlled by some kind of drug.

[Ouch... My head hurts so much... Kill...]

Tang Li's heart skipped a beat when she heard the white wolf's broken and painful howl.

This wolf king, fed a more potent poison than the previous wolves, has been completely reduced to a mindless, zombie-like mount.

On the wolf's back sat a burly man.

He was wearing a black bearskin cloak, his face was full of fleshy features, and a hideous scar ran across his entire face, from his left forehead to his right chin.

Those eyes were sinister and cruel, gleaming with a wild, greedy light.

Tuoba Xiao, the wolf lord of the Northern Rong.

He looked down at Pei Yunjing, who was trapped at the bottom of the valley, as if he were looking at prey that had fallen into a trap and could no longer escape.

"Pei Yunjing, it's been a long time."

Tuoba Xiao's voice was rough and hoarse, like sandpaper grinding against bones:

"Is the scenery of my 'Soul-Severing Valley' pleasing to the Regent's eye?"

Pei Yunjing restrained the restless Mo Feng with one hand, while tightly protecting Tang Li in his arms with the other.

He stared at Tuoba Xiao expressionlessly, his eyes showing no panic, only a cold indifference that seemed to know everything.

"Tuoba Xiao".

Pei Yunjing spoke coldly, his tone mocking:

"To capture me, you're actually willing to burn your own winter provisions worth hundreds of thousands of bushels?"

"Is this what you call the spirit of the Wolf Lord?"

They sacrificed the entire army's rations just to set up this trap.

This crazy gambler behavior was indeed beyond Pei Yunjing's expectations.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Tuoba Xiao laughed wildly, shaking the snow off the surrounding trees.

"What do provisions matter? What do a few soldiers' deaths matter?"

He abruptly stopped laughing, leaned forward, and stared intently at Pei Yunjing:

"As long as it can buy the head of the Great Sheng War God, as long as it can break the backbone of Great Sheng..."

"This deal was worth it! Absolutely worth it!"

With Pei Yunjing dead, the Great Sheng Dynasty will be leaderless and thrown into chaos. Then, he can simply plunder the cities of Great Sheng for as much grain as he wants!

"but……"

Tuoba Xiao suddenly changed the subject.

His lewd and sinister gaze passed over Pei Yunjing's shoulder and landed stickily on Tang Li, whom he was protecting in his arms.

"I heard that you brought a queen who can control beasts with you this time?"

Tuoba Xiao licked his dry lips, his gaze roaming brazenly over Tang Li, as if assessing the value of a piece of merchandise:

"Those rats and that golden eagle, weren't they this woman's doing?"

"Tsk tsk, what a rare find."

He pointed at the pear tree and laughed loudly at the surrounding Northern Rong soldiers:

"Listen up, brothers! Chop all the men up and feed them to the wolves!"

"As for that woman..."

Tuoba Xiao's eyes gleamed with a nauseating possessiveness, his voice flippant and venomous:

"Capture him alive for me."

"My tent is just missing a pet to warm my bed. Since she's so good at playing with animals, I'd like to see if she's just as good at serving people in bed."

boom--!

These words, like a spark, instantly ignited the powder keg that had been building up inside Pei Yunjing for a long time.

"court death."

Two words were squeezed out from between Pei Yunjing's teeth.

[A dragon has scales that cannot be touched; to touch them is certain death.]

Tang Li could even feel the arm that was holding her tense up like iron, its temperature frighteningly high.

"Clang—!"

The "Delusion-Slaying" sword was drawn once again.

His murderous aura erupted like a tsunami, even overwhelming the blizzard.

He only wanted to do one thing—

Tear that scumbag who dares to look at her like that, who dares to speak to her with such filth, to pieces!

"Tuoba Xiao, I want your tongue."

Pei Yunjing spurred his horse forward, his sword pointing directly at the man on the wolf's back.

Seeing Pei Yunjing's eyes turn bloodshot and devoid of reason, Tuoba Xiao was not afraid at all. Instead, he revealed a sinister smile of triumph.

"You're getting angry already?"

"Then come on! Let me see how long you, a cripple who has lost all five senses, can last!"

He had already studied Pei Yunjing's condition.

The angrier you are, the more your emotions fluctuate, the faster the so-called "fire poison" will take effect, and the more intense the pain caused by the overload of the five senses will be.

He wanted to provoke him. He wanted to turn him into a mad dog that had lost its mind!

Tuoba Xiao suddenly waved his hand, giving an order to the Death Legion lying in ambush on both sides:

"Light a cigarette!"

"Beat the drums!"

"Send the Regent on his way!"
