The two men and the dog quickly engaged in combat.
The onlookers held their breath, seeing the brutality of war in this fight between two men and a dog.
One of the men had a chunk of flesh bitten out of his calf by Er Niu, blood dripping down. Er Niu no longer had the composure it showed when dealing with the thugs earlier. It was panting heavily with its tongue out.
That lame leg had ultimately slowed the big dog down at the crucial moment.
“Miss, it looks like Er Niu might be in trouble,” A Man couldn’t sit still as the situation downstairs became more intense.
Jiang Si put a teacup into A Man’s hand: “Hold onto this. If Er Niu can’t hold on, throw it at the man in the brocade robe.”
Jiang Si was referring to Cui Yi.
Originally, she hated Yang Shengcai more than the two, but since the two middle-aged men were Cui Yi’s people, they would undoubtedly prioritize Cui Yi’s safety.
“Beast, let’s see how arrogant you are now!” Perhaps frustrated by being put in such a predicament by a lame dog, one of the men suddenly pulled out a gleaming dagger from his leg wrappings and stabbed at Er Niu.
“Kill it! We’ll have dog meat today!” Cui Yi shouted excitedly.
They should have used a knife to skin this beast long ago, but these two old fools had to be so stubborn.
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, ordinary people were not allowed to carry weapons, but privileged classes like Cui Yi were not restricted.
The shining dagger reflected cold light in the sunlight, causing the onlookers to involuntarily step back.
A Man hesitated no longer and threw the teacup with all her might.
The celadon teacup traced an arc through the air, accurately hitting Cui Yi on the forehead.
Cui Yi let out a miserable cry and fell backward.
The two men fighting Er Niu quickly rushed towards Cui Yi.
However, a black and yellow figure showed no weakness, reaching there before them.
The large dog, about half the height of a person, pressed one front paw on Cui Yi’s forehead, which was bleeding profusely. It leisurely wagged its tail while watching the approaching men.
Cui Yi was so frightened he couldn’t even feel the pain in his forehead. He stammered, “Quick, save me—”
“Beast, get away now!” one of the middle-aged men shouted.
Er Niu glanced at him.
The man was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling as if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Why did he seem to see contempt in this dog’s eyes?
It must have been a mistake.
Then, the man saw the big dog lift its paw slightly and slowly press it against Cui Yi’s throat.
The entire scene fell silent.
This dog must have become a spirit!
