Chapter 391 Newest Partner: Kagerou
If Xu Ning wasn't mistaken, the little dog had just used the weapon enchanting technique created by Seinosuke Yuugami.
Xu Ning still keeps the scroll left behind by Shinobu Ogami on his bookshelf in his living room.
After the Black Tide disaster of Inazuma was completely averted, Harunosuke Yagami felt that he had completed his mission of protecting this land and dismissed all the samurai who were training in the Onmyōryō.
The spell enchanting techniques taught to these people were scattered throughout Inazuma along with these samurai.
However, Xu Ning was indeed surprised to see such a technique used on a dog.
As the purple electric crackles spread to the tip of the blade, Hat Dog suddenly leaped up and slashed horizontally in mid-air, sending three swirling purple electric blades fanning out towards him.
"This move is almost exactly like the 'purple shadow' of the void."
Xu Ning sprang up, dodging the three purple blades, and unleashed a "Drinking Song" move while still in mid-air.
After all, Xu Ning wasn't planning to hurt the puppy right now; he thought the best way was to get it drunk silently.
However, Xu Ning soon realized he was wrong.
After releasing the purple blade, the hat-wearing dog seemed to have already anticipated that it would leap up, and almost at the same time it leaped, it was already in mid-air.
It even jumped higher than I could!
The long knife in its mouth was released, the blade facing down, and its two hind paws stepped on the hilt and plummeted down rapidly.
Xu Ning, who was below, smiled bitterly. The little dog was really ruthless in its attacks. If he couldn't dodge this move, wouldn't he be pinned to the ground?
Xu Ning adjusted his body, and the moment he landed, his toes touched the ground, and he shot out horizontally like an arrow.
The dog missed its first strike with the long sword it was standing on, but with a flick of its tail, it flung the sword back into its mouth and chased after the dog again.
Xu Ning chuckled. This dog was not only serious but also quite strong. It seemed that if he didn't subdue it, this fight would be quite a struggle.
Xu Ning was now ready to have a serious competition with the little dog.
However, he did not summon his clone. If he had to rely on his clone to fight even a small dog that didn't have the Eye of God, he would be too useless.
"Don't cry if it hurts!"
Xu Ning smiled, took a sip of wine, and teased the puppy before pouncing on it and engaging in close combat.
Both sides attacked extremely quickly, exchanging more than a dozen blows almost instantly upon contact.
Neither Xu Ning's gauntlets nor his wine gourd were afraid of the blade. The three onlookers listened to the sounds of the two clashing together, which almost blended into a series of crisp bell rings.
As the two clashed, the aroma of alcohol emanating from Xu Ning's hand began to waft around them, a subtle and pervasive "gentle embrace."
The puppy had never seen such a move before and was clearly affected by the alcohol. When it unleashed the Hundred Slash and switched swords, its tail swung the blade, and its mouth almost missed catching it.
Although he managed to grab the knife handle with a quick lunge, his technique became chaotic.
Xu Ning chuckled and punched it in the shoulder.
He didn't need to use his full strength; as long as he could inject a dose of alcohol directly into its body, he would have a sure win in this battle.
Then Xu Ning saw a completely unbelievable sight!
The dog shook its head violently, sending its straw hat flying. Then, it raised one hind leg and struck a mocking urination pose before turning into a stone statue.
Xu Ning was amused by its posture and had just started to laugh when she noticed sparks coming out from behind the puppy's ear, where there was clearly a fuse that was about to burn out.
"What the hell!"
At that moment, Xu Ning instantly thought of a toy with a lit fuse and a tiny spark. "You guys, get out of there!"
The air around here is thick with the smell of alcohol!
The urinating stone statue exploded instantly.
The power of the explosion probably exceeded the hat dog's expectations. Just as it emerged from the flying hat, the powerful shockwave sent it tumbling over.
As it rolled over and stood up, Xu Ning had already flashed to its side and gently tapped its straw hat with his wine gourd.
"This thing is too dangerous. It's much more powerful than the lightning fire bullets used by the ninjas. Be careful when using it, or you might hurt your own people."
Shibamon Jiro, Kiryo, and Master Ji, the three spectators, were also terrified by what had just happened. If Xu Ning hadn't reminded them and they hadn't taken cover behind several large wooden crates, they would probably be rolling on the ground in a sorry state by now.
Even so, my ears are still ringing.
After that move, the dog in the hat stopped, faced Xu Ning, and placed the long knife in its mouth at Xu Ning's feet, seemingly as a gesture of surrender. Then it squatted there and solemnly barked.
"It says it is willing to acknowledge you as its master."
Master Ji translated the Dao
Xu Ning crouched down, looked into the hat-wearing dog's eyes, and asked, "Are you sure you want to come with me?"
The hat-wearing dog raised its right paw and used its teeth to pull a slightly yellowed piece of paper from the mitten leg tied to its leg, then handed it to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning glanced at it and smiled. It was a letter left by the Hat Dog's trainer for someone destined to find it. The letter said that Shadow Wolf had been training hard since childhood and had gradually become stronger than many people. In the end, everyone went to the battlefield, but it was left behind with no place to go. If anyone was destined, they could try to let it accept a new identity.
"So your name is Kageroumaru, that's a nice name. But I don't like playing master-servant games, let's stick to being friends."
As if it understood Xu Ning's words, Shadow Wolf seemed to bark happily and then turned and ran towards another deserted island of Blade Link Island.
Xu Ning and the others quickly followed.
Once they arrived at the destination, Xu Ning finally understood why Yinglangmaru had brought him here.
In this small place, there are more than a dozen dogs of all sizes.
"So it turns out you brought all their lost dogs here. Many people think the vegetable vendor secretly cooked and ate them."
"I am amazed," said Shibamon Jiro.
After asking around, Xu Ning learned that these dogs were the ones that the pirates had collected from various places to train as treasure-hunting dogs.
However, since arriving here, they've noticed that almost every day a dog goes missing. The pirate captain assumed that the drunken savvy savvy ate the dog, and the two had a huge argument.
If that drunkard's swordsmanship hadn't been so strong, he probably would have been punished by the pirate boss long ago.
"Alright, I was just saying my cave space felt a bit empty and lonely. It's good to put more dogs in. Why don't you all come in together!"
The puppies weren't shy at all; they all let Xu Ning pet and hold them. Xu Ning then sent them one by one into the Hidden Dust Cave.
By the time they brought Torataro and Kageroumaru inside, Aoya was already standing by the stove with her sleeves rolled up.
"Not bad, these dogs we found are all bigger than the last one..."
Looking at the last two animals brought in, Toratarou and Kageroumaru, Qingyi said, "Oh my, this one is especially fat. Watch my cooking skills today. As the saying goes, even a demon can't stand up straight after being cooked three times..."
Sometimes, that's how a feud begins.
