Zhang Pingfan was dumbfounded. He never expected the dog in front of him to be so powerful.
"Holy crap, pervert dog, did you take the wrong medicine?"
Ri Tian gave Zhang Pingfan an idiotic look.
*It's your own dull brain that's the problem. I never said I wasn't powerful, did I?*
Seeing Ri Tian's indifference, Zhang Pingfan felt somewhat dejected.
"You're one well-hidden guy. I thought you were only powerful because of the items you collected. I didn't realize your strength was so immense. That guy was a peak Battle God of the Nine Realms, and you just slammed him into the ground with a single palm. I was almost dead back then, why didn't you come out and help?"
Ri Tian remained unmoved, too lazy to bother with his foolish master.
Beneath the dog's paw print on the ground, within a human-shaped imprint, the person inside stirred a few times.
He never imagined that with his peak Battle God strength, while not invincible on the Divine Realm Continent, no one could so easily subdue him.
But at this moment, he realized he was profoundly mistaken. He couldn't even match a single paw of a dog.
He was heavily injured, his internal organs extremely uncomfortable.
If not for the dog sparing his life, he would likely be a corpse right now.
If his companion dog was this formidable, what was the strength of this young man? Was he an existence beyond peak Battle God, like that other guy?
The thought sent shivers down his spine, and he dared not even get up from where he lay.
Since this dog was so powerful, and it always made him act, why not just have the dog handle things from now on? It would save him the trouble.
Zhang Pingfan stood at the edge of the dog's paw print, looking at the peak Battle God of the Nine Realms lying within.
"Hey, you're a peak Battle God of the Nine Realms, aren't you? Aren't you ashamed to be playing dead here?"
Zhang Pingfan had an NPC perspective, so every NPC or player had a health bar above their head.
Clearly, this guy's health bar was only a third full. He wasn't dead, just injured.
The peak Battle God of the Nine Realms lying on the ground slowly got up, a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Heh, brother, I won't disturb your sunbathing anymore. I'll be going now!"
Zhang Pingfan smiled and said, "Why leave? You've come all this way, why rush off? Stay for some tea!"
"No, no, I have things to attend to. I'll leave now!"
Just as he turned to leave, Zhang Pingfan's cold voice rang out.
"Are you sure?"
The peak Battle God of the Nine Realms swallowed hard.
"Brother, do you have any other instructions?"
Zhang Pingfan said, "Since you've come, you have to leave something behind. Otherwise, wouldn't I have let you provoke me for nothing? If you want to provoke me, you must pay the price. Come, sign this master-servant contract!"
Zhang Pingfan couldn't let such a powerful fighter like this peak Battle God of the Nine Realms leave for free.
In fact, the guy's face had already turned a liverish purple. He never expected to come to teach this newcomer a lesson, only to end up sacrificing himself.
"Brother, isn't this a bit too disrespectful? I am, after all, a peak Battle God of the Nine Realms! Although I provoked you, I can compensate you. Money or treasures, just name your price!"
Zhang Pingfan sneered, "Pervert dog, you can have his dog life!"
Ri Tian stood up in response.
The peak Battle God of the Nine Realms immediately retreated, and the entire person bolted backward without hesitation.
He believed that with his escape speed, he could surely get away if they didn't react in time.
Of course, he had encountered someone extraordinary.
Seeing that neither the man nor the dog moved, just as he thought he had escaped,
A dog's paw emerged from the void and slapped him directly across the face.
"Slap!"
His body rapidly retreated through the air.
After several rolls, he finally landed at Zhang Pingfan's feet.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it seems you're intent on seeking death!"
Huang Biao flipped over and immediately knelt before Zhang Pingfan.
"Master, I was wrong. I won't run anymore. Please spare my life!"
Zhang Pingfan naturally wouldn't kill him. A peak Battle God of the Nine Realms was a rare henchman; he couldn't just slaughter him like this.
Moreover, Zhang Pingfan had his own mission to complete: the task of finding Hu Wanshan hadn't even begun, but a peak Battle God of the Nine Realms could definitely help him accomplish it.
Zhang Pingfan tossed out the master-servant contract again.
"This is the last time!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I dare not again!"
In front of this man and dog, he was like an ant. How could he dare to run again? Did he think his life was too long?
The moment the contract took effect, Huang Biao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally saved his own skin. Why had he been so impulsive to be the first to stick his neck out?
"Master!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded in satisfaction, unexpectedly gaining a bonus today.
"I ask, you answer, understand?"
"Understood!"
"What is your name?"
"Huang Biao!"
"Do you have your own faction on the Divine Realm Continent?"
"Yes, Huang Men, a faction led by me. It is currently one of the eight major factions on the Divine Realm Continent!"
"I see. Then, what rank does your Huang Men hold among these eight major factions?"
Huang Biao's old face flushed.
"We rank sixth!"
"Uh, you, someone ranked sixth, dare to provoke me? You're quite bold!"
Huang Biao chuckled sheepishly, "I'm just a bit impatient."
"I think you want to die sooner! What about the strength of the other seven major factions?"
Huang Biao said, "The sixth, seventh, and eighth ranked factions each have only one peak Battle God of the Nine Realms. The fifth ranked has two, the fourth has three, the third has five, the second has six. The first ranked, which is the strongest force in the Divine Realm, not only has 10 peak Battle Gods of the Nine Realms but also an existence that surpasses peak Battle God!"
Zhang Pingfan was somewhat astonished. This was indeed quite impressive.
Especially the top-ranked faction, which could probably directly overpower the other seven.
"The strength of these later major factions is too weak. If they were to bother you, they could probably wipe you out in minutes!"
Huang Biao smiled awkwardly, "My faction's territory isn't large. The major factions handed over the areas they didn't want to manage to us, basically letting us clean up their messes."
"You're really something. Was your visit this time also sanctioned by them? Which faction did you belong to before?"
Huang Biao said, "Before my master, I belonged to the second largest faction, Qin Men! But now I belong to master!"
"Oh, I see! What is the name of the first largest faction?"
"Heavenly God Sect!"
"What???"
Zhang Pingfan thought he had misheard. Wasn't that the name of his own sect?
