The Disaster Level is divided into strengths and weaknesses, and it seems the Rat King of this Disaster Level is among the weakest.
But it is still stronger than the Evil Spirit Level.
Hundreds of mutant rats, drooling, surrounded Gu Qijue and the White Fox.
The Rat King entered, gnawing on a human arm, and upon seeing a being that appeared to be both human and monster, it was slightly startled and squinted its eyes at Gu Qijue, asking, "Who are you?"
From this creature, which might be a monster or a human, it felt a kind of bloodline suppression.
"Brother Black Dragon, save me!!"
The White Fox in front of Gu Qijue transformed in a burst of light into a woman wearing a white fox fur dress, with long silver hair down to her waist, breathtakingly beautiful, with nine tails.
In her view, Gu Qijue must be a fellow who evolved into a dragon, turning into his current form.
Therefore, she transformed as well.
"Brother, I advise you not to meddle; this tempting fox is mine," the Rat King squinted at Gu Qijue, "Let us mind our own business. You should leave!"
"Leave? Wouldn't it be too wasteful not to devour you?"
Gu Qijue licked his lips, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.
Meanwhile, dragon horns grew on his head, a dragon tail extended from his tailbone, dragon scales surfaced on his skin, and two sharp dragon fangs grew in his mouth.
This Rat King is actually Tier Three.
The Tier Two Gu Qijue had to assume the strongest combat posture.
"Boys, attack!"
The Rat King wasted no words, commanding the hundreds of rat underlings to lead the charge.
"Brother Black Dragon, leave these little rats to me, go kill that Rat King, and I'll follow you from now on,"
The White Fox growled, its teeth turning into fangs, hands transforming into sharp claws, meeting the approaching rat monsters.
"Black Dragon King, is it worth such a fight over a fox?"
The Rat King said coldly.
"Why so much nonsense, come fight!!"
Gu Qijue's eyes glowed blood red, black gas billowed from his mouth, and with a boom, he smashed the ground beneath his feet and charged forward. The tachi in his hand unsheathed with a clang, the blade imbued with violent Black Dragon Power.
"Courting death!"
The Rat King howled long, its pride not allowing it to leave so shamefully.
Boom! Bang!!
The dragon and rat collided, the tachi clashing with rat claws, producing a sound like metal upon metal.
Brilliant cold light flashed, the blade's aura was menacing.
After the first round, the Rat King retreated several meters, its chest left with two deep gashes by Gu Qijue.
Roar!!
The Rat King bellowed in rage, refusing to admit defeat, and once again charged at Gu Qijue, claws outstretched.
"Alas! Despite the augmenting Dragon Power, the weapon is still somewhat lacking."
Gu Qijue sighed; had his hand wielded a Super Martial Artist Armor Weapon, those two slashes just now would have inflicted even more damage on the Rat King.
The Rat King's skin might not even be penetrable by missiles.
That Gu Qijue was able to breach its defense was all thanks to the Black Dragon Power infused in the blade.
Bang! Clang!! Boom! Boom!
Gu Qijue possessed immense strength, a body invincible, slashing the tachi multiple times per second, enveloped by black blade energy in front of him, bold and unstoppable, forcing the Rat King to constantly retreat, its large body showing scar upon scar.
The power of the dragon, domineering, vast, magnificent, symbolizing invincibility.
An insignificant rat, even at Calamity Level, even a tier higher than Gu Qijue, could only defend and not counterattack at this moment.
The two dragons behind Gu Qijue would occasionally ambush, biting chunks of flesh from the Rat King.
"This guy is a tier lower than me, how can he be so strong? Is this the power of a dragon?"
In mere moments of exchange, the badly injured Rat King's heart trembled with fear, and it wanted to flee with a loud roar.
"Stay!"
Gu Qijue shouted lowly, channeling the Black Dragon Power within his body, swinging five consecutive slashes in a second, sending five violent blade lights cleaving through the air.
"Damn it!"
Sensing the sharp blade lights whistling behind him, the Rat King cursed, turning to swipe its claws in defense.
Bang bang, its claws were nearly chopped off two fingers.
In that instant, Gu Qijue charged forward again, swinging the tachi with a swoosh across the Rat King's chest, leaving a long line of blood.
Roar!!
The Rat King, howling in pain, beefed up in size, its claws extending to a foot long, a corrupt energy emanating from its body, slicing with claw lights.
Gu Qijue cleaved them apart with his horizontal blade, advancing with a boom, slashing down brutally at the Rat King's waist, whilst the two dragons ambushed, biting a large chunk of flesh from its shoulder.
Ah!!
The Rat King howled in agony, swiftly reverting to its true form, fleeing at top speed.
But how could Gu Qijue let it escape alive, he pursued relentlessly.
A Disaster Level Rat King, devouring it would yield great benefits.
The dragon and the rat soon disappeared far away.
Watching them from where she was dealing with the remaining rat monsters, the White Fox contemplated leaving but reconsidered, deciding against it.
Thinking how the Black Dragon didn't hesitate to fight desperately against the Rat King.
If she left now, encountering him next time might mean she wouldn't be spared.
Attracting such a fearsome enemy was not wise.
Just as the White Fox finished off the hundreds of rats, a figure approached swiftly in the dark.
It was Gu Qijue returning.
His aura had grown significantly stronger than before.
Evidently, after devouring the Rat King, he broke through to Tier Three.
Now, he felt an overwhelming thirst.
"I thought you ran away."
Seeing the White Fox still there, Gu Qijue was a bit surprised.
The White Fox, with her bare, crystalline feet, walked elegantly toward him, and expressed her thanks, "Brother Black Dragon, risking your life against the Rat King to save me, how could I dare just run away."
Gu Qijue looked her up and down, finding this Fox Demon truly enchanting.
"Master, your thoughts are a bit wicked," Xiaoyao's voice chimed in his mind.
"Dragon nature is lusty, damn, isn't it your genes causing this? I can't possibly, when seeing human women, feel nothing, but yet feel this impulse seeing this monster-like creature," Gu Qijue laid the blame on Xiaoyao.
It was the truth.
When women previously offered their bodies in exchange for a partnership, even seeing their fair skin, Gu Qijue felt nothing.
But this Fox Demon, incited a certain impulse in him.
"Am I really not human anymore?" Gu Qijue smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Alright, it's all my fault," Xiaoyao couldn't help but retort.
"Brother Black Dragon, from now on, I'll follow you."
The White Fox's cherry lips were alluring, her delicate charming face seductive enough to drip water from her autumn-like beautiful eyes, her figure tall, curvaceous, her voice soft and sultry, truly deadly.
Gu Qijue suppressed the genetic impulse in his body, saying, "Then let's go, follow me to a place."
With that said, he turned and strode quickly towards the direction of the zoo.
"To a place? Could it be that he wants to do that?"
The White Fox bit her lip, following closely behind him as they moved away.
