The Double Pupil Secret Technique

"!"

A terrifying beastly roar echoed through the area, drawing not only Fang Yi and his group's attention but also that of nearby Martial Artist squads, who all looked up.

"Looks like some incredible monster has appeared!"

"This sound... It seems to be a bird-type monster."

"Should we go take a look?"

"Take a look, my ass. You can tell from the sound alone that this monster is definitely Lord Rank, and probably a powerful one at that. We'd be walking to our deaths if we went over there. Hurry up and pack—we're leaving."

Nearby, many Martial Artists who heard the roar hurried away.

A few powerful ones lingered at a distance, wondering whether to go investigate.

Fang Yi immediately looked toward the source of the sound.

Sure enough, a gigantic bird-like creature flew out of a residential complex's cemetery, spreading its enormous wings as if it could blot out the scorching sun.

Under the scrutiny of his Double Pupil Eyes, Fang Yi saw the creature's appearance clearly, and his heart sank. "The Great Golden Black Crow, a special kind of bird-type monster. Studies show that it has extraordinarily powerful mental strength... Judging by the color of its feathers, it's clearly an Intermediate Lord-level monster."

"However, one of its wings has a wound. It's healed, but the feathers in that area haven't grown back completely."

As Fang Yi analyzed it, the enormous black silhouette quickly flew toward them.

In just a few seconds, it reached the edge of the building. A terrifying cry rang through the residential complex, leaving many of the Martial Artists there with splitting headaches!

The spear-wielding Martial Artist who had been fighting the Goshawk Squad hurriedly clutched his head in pain.

The Goshawk Squad's captain was faring no better.

"Damn it, why's another one here!" The captain clutched his head and stared at the terrifying figure, thinking rapidly. No, we have to run. Another Lord Rank monster has appeared, and it's much stronger than that Flood Dragon. We're no match for it.

At that thought, the Goshawk Squad captain immediately ran off.

He didn't even spare a glance for his two remaining teammates. He raced away without looking back.

"You beast, don't run!" The spear-wielding Martial Artist also chased after him, gritting his teeth against the pain in his head.

"Ugh—!"

The Great Golden Black Crow beat its wings and swooped down. Fang Yi immediately controlled his shield to ram into it, briefly disrupting its attack, then dodged using the surrounding environment.

The crow's enormous talons swept down, gouging deep trenches into the ground.

Several monsters that didn't manage to get out of the way were killed beneath its claws.

"Fuck!"

Another Goshawk Squad member saw this and nearly went weak in the knees. He was about to flee when the crow spotted him.

With a casual flick of its sharp feathers, it sent the Martial Artist flying.

"Bang!"

As the gray dust settled, a huge gash had been sliced through the man's combat suit over his abdomen. He spat blood, then his head lolled to the side. Before long, he was dead.

Fang Yi had watched it all.

It's almost at the Advanced Beast General level... This bird seems to be working with the Flood Dragon. Its main grudge is against me, with everyone else coming second.

Based on the information he'd gathered earlier, Fang Yi quickly reached a conclusion.

The tunnel at the base of the building led toward the residential complex where the black bird had appeared.

And the Flood Dragon had dared to stay in this dilapidated building, up high where it could survey the surroundings. It was possible that part of the reason was to help the black bird keep watch.

Lord Rank monsters weren't stupid. They knew to run when they couldn't win, and they knew how to join forces.

So it wasn't unusual for the two monsters to be working together.

Earlier, a few monsters had run against the flow of the herd toward the outskirts. They had probably gone to seek reinforcements for the Black Crow.

That explains it.

As Fang Yi dodged and thought, he ran into the Goshawk Squad member with the broadsword—the one he'd sent flying earlier.

The man spotted Fang Yi running toward him. His eyes widened, and he shouted in terror, "Brother, brother, don't kill me! Let's team up and deal with that black—"

Before he could finish, Fang Yi had already thrown a punch, striking without holding anything back and knocking him hard to the ground.

"Team up with you? So you can stab me in the back later?" Fang Yi shook his head.

The man was only an Intermediate War General.

Against a Lord Monster like this, he had no way to fight back and could only skirt the edges of the battle.

What he'd said was nothing more than an attempt to use Fang Yi to save his own life.

Fang Yi moved through the building as the Black Crow smashed through wall after wall with its powerful body. Before long, the floors at the building's base had been reduced to ruins. Even the upper floors began to tilt.

While dodging, Fang Yi also used the surrounding environment and his shield to strike back.

He relied on his agile movement, and whenever the bird drew near, he kept his punches aimed at the vulnerable, thinly protected areas of its head.

The monster was a high rank, but with his Perfect-Level Movement Technique and the analysis of his Double Pupil Eyes, it still couldn't hurt Fang Yi. At most, it managed to rip his combat suit.

Fang Yi's movement technique was already beyond that of some War Gods.

And with his Double Pupil Eyes' ability to analyze the monster's movements and muscle exertion, as well as the activity of its cells, he could figure out its attack patterns and trajectories.

In less than a minute, the bottom of the building had been devastated by the two sides.

The building, already on the verge of tipping over, collapsed once more.

"Rumble—!"

"Crash, crash, crash!"

Steel rods stuck out everywhere, rubble poured down, and clouds of dust billowed in every direction.

Many monsters died beneath the falling walls.

But the Black Crow didn't care. It had only one thought now: kill this human!

It wanted to avenge its Flood Dragon brother, who had helped draw the enemy's fire, scout the area, and protect it as it broke through.

If not for this human, it would have soon reached the Advanced Lord level with its brother's help.

Then it could return to the central area and take revenge!

As Fang Yi kept the Black Crow occupied, the World Analysis in his eyes noticed that the spear-wielding Martial Artist—the one who'd wanted revenge on the Goshawk Squad captain—was in a bad way.

The man's combat suit was now in tatters.

There were numerous cuts across his abdomen and both arms, and blood kept dripping from his wounds.

The Goshawk Squad captain, on the other hand, had injuries, but none were fatal.

"You think you can get revenge on me?"

The Martial Artist clutched the wound at his waist. He still wanted to pick up his fallen spear and fight the man to the death.

But his limbs were powerless. He couldn't move at all.

"A weakling is a weakling! Die!"

The Goshawk Squad captain swung his War Blade with a grimace, about to slash at the man.

"Thwip!"

A broken, thin, sharp fragment of rebar pierced straight through the back of the captain's helmet and flew out through his skull.

It spun through the air, trailing blood and brain matter.

Blood sprayed across the Martial Artist's face. He was first surprised, then disappointed, and finally ecstatic.

"Hahaha... You beast finally got what you deserved!"

"What a pity, what a pity that I wasn't the one who killed you!"

"Never mind. At least Xiao Cai can rest in peace now."

The Martial Artist looked at the steel Flying Needle that had fallen nearby and saw that the faint blue-violet light on it had vanished.

That bastard's combat helmet was tough. Luckily, I attached the Divine Light of Creation to the steel Flying Needle I picked up. Otherwise, it would've only left a mark—I wouldn't have been able to pierce through.

Even while dodging the Black Crow, Fang Yi had kept an eye on the battle around him.

Then Fang Yi recalled his shield and stepped onto it, immediately flying out of the building.

The Black Crow continued to pursue him relentlessly!

The man and crow burst out of the building, which was on the verge of total collapse. The wounded spear-wielding Martial Artist watched Fang Yi fly on his shield, first amazed by his abilities.

Then he forced himself to call out, "Brother, don't be afraid! I'll help you!"

The spear-wielding Martial Artist knew Fang Yi had saved him earlier. After all, aside from the Goshawk Squad captain, there were no other Psychic Masters on the scene.

To repay Fang Yi for saving his life and helping him get revenge, he was willing to risk what little life he had left.

Even if he died, at least his younger brother wouldn't be alone in the afterlife!

He braced himself with one hand on his spear and clutched his wound with the other as he tried to stand. But his legs buckled, and he nearly fell again, tearing open his wound.

"Captain, don't move! You're badly hurt!" The other two members rushed over. One quickly helped stitch up his wound to keep it from getting worse.

"Captain, rest. We'll go help him." The Martial Artist holding the sniper rifle had seen the terrifying Black Crow.

Though he was afraid, he still worked up the courage to go help!

Fang Yi glanced at the group. Judging by their condition, they clearly weren't a match for the Black Crow.

Why are they getting involved? They're already hurt this badly...

Before he could finish thinking, he saw that the Flood Dragon was showing signs of waking up.

The Illusion Technique was clearly about to wear off.

"That Flood Dragon is waking up."

"Ugh—!"

Fang Yi wasn't the only one who noticed the Flood Dragon was about to wake. The Great Golden Black Crow also noticed that its brother was recovering.

It immediately let out a cry.

Then the Flood Dragon's tightly shut eyes snapped open. It slowly shifted its terrifying body and looked toward Fang Yi.

"Hiss—!"

The Flood Dragon and the crow called to each other.

The spear-wielding Martial Artist and the other two team members were so frightened by the sight that they couldn't speak.

Two Lord Rank monsters!

Even if they split into a dozen Martial Artists, they couldn't take them down.

"Brother, run! We'll hold them off!" the spear-wielding Martial Artist shouted hoarsely. But his shout also drew the Flood Dragon's attention to them.

"Hiss—!"

The Black-lined Flood Dragon immediately moved. It wasn't in as good a condition as before, but it was still terrifyingly fast.

Fang Yi frowned.

He knew he couldn't keep playing around.

I'm done playing with this bird. I'll have plenty of chances to spar with Lord Rank monsters in the future. Otherwise, innocent people are going to get hurt. Fang Yi immediately stopped flying.

The Great Golden Black Crow, which had been pursuing him closely, saw this.

It was delighted.

It thought the human was exhausted and had no strength left to keep fighting. He was ready to accept his death.

But the next moment, the Great Golden Black Crow suddenly saw a strange, pitch-black beam of light appear in the man's left eye.

Then a massive Double Pupil Eye appeared behind Fang Yi...

The instant the Black Crow saw the Double Pupil Eye, it changed its flight path and headed straight toward the Flood Dragon.

The Black-lined Flood Dragon looked confused.

It didn't understand why its big brother had given up on the human and was flying toward it.

As the Great Golden Black Crow drew closer, the confusion in the Flood Dragon's eyes gradually turned to fear. A sonic boom rang out, and in the next instant—

The Great Golden Black Crow's talons lunged viciously toward it!
