The Old Man Saw at a Glance That You Weren't Human!

Fang Bai looked up at the sky in horror.

A Three-headed Giant Bird wreathed in flames beat its powerful wings and hovered overhead. The pressure emanating from its body blanketed the entire massive crater!

Under that pressure, Fang Bai felt incomparably small.

It was definitely a great demon above the Fifth Order!

The Three-headed Giant Bird looked down below, its sharp gaze sweeping over Fang Bai. His body stiffened as an intense sense of mortal danger surged within him!

However, the giant bird seemed to have no interest in Fang Bai. In its eyes, a Second Order human was no different from an ant by the roadside.

Ignoring him outright, its gaze fell upon the several Fourth Order demon beasts. The next second, its enormous body dove straight down!

The demon beasts lay prone on the ground, trembling violently. Faced with the disparity in bloodline and rank, they could not move at all!

The Giant Crocodile that had pursued Fang Bai earlier became the giant bird's first target.

As it had been closest to the nuclear blast, half of its crocodile snout had been blown apart. It looked utterly miserable.

The Three-headed Giant Bird's sharp claws pierced directly into the Giant Crocodile's body!

Those sturdy scales were as fragile as pasted paper before it!

The three bird heads let out shrill cries in unison, then devoured the Giant Crocodile in just a few breaths!

As though a Fourth Order demon beast was nothing more than food to them.

The sight made goosebumps rise all over Fang Bai's body.

Damn! Killing a Fourth Order beast was as easy as killing a chicken!

I need to get the hell out of here!

With that thought, Fang Bai prepared to slip away while the Three-headed Giant Bird was not paying attention.

But suddenly, the bird's left head turned toward Fang Bai. A teasing glint appeared in its eyes, and it abruptly opened its beak, spraying a terrifying blast of fiery energy at him!

Fang Bai's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly dodged!

With a boom, Fang Bai was caught in the shockwave and sent flying!

The Three-headed Giant Bird apparently had no intention of killing him, though, and immediately set its sights on another Fourth Order demon beast.

The latter was startled and instantly turned to flee!

But before it, everything seemed already set in stone!

The giant bird's claws seized the Fourth Order demon beast, then clenched fiercely, instantly tearing it apart. The scene was extremely bloody!

"Hiss! Damn it! I almost died!"

Fang Bai bared his teeth in pain, feeling as if his entire body had collided with the front of a train.

"Fang Bai! Run!"

Li Xue and the others called out.

Fang Bai immediately ignored the pain and continued fleeing.

Very quickly, he landed beside Li Xue and the others.

"Let's go! While that monster isn't paying attention to us!"

Li Xue's face was grave.

The group immediately sprinted wildly along the path they had come from.

But they had barely run for a while before a huge shadow enveloped them!

Their hearts sank. Looking up, they found that the Three-headed Giant Bird had caught up with them!

"We're done for! It's Barbie Q!"

Zhang Zifeng's face was filled with terror.

"Nooo! I've never even dated before! Can you give me a chance?"

No matter how they ran, the monster bird remained overhead without attacking, like an eagle toying with chicks.

"Should we fight it?"

Huo Qi spoke up.

Fang Bai said with a trembling voice, "Bro! How are we supposed to fight it? Serve ourselves up as a platter?"

It could kill them all in one breath. If they really fought it, what difference was there between an egg smashing against a rock?

The group soon ran out of the forest, but the monster bird continued pursuing them.

"What does it want?"

Li Xue asked in confusion.

Fang Bai's expression turned strange. "Could it be trying to give us hope first, then brutally torture us to death?"

Everyone's faces stiffened.

Damn! That would be way too lively!

But just then, an elderly figure appeared in their sight.

If you can't find a book by searching its title, try searching for the author instead. It may simply have been renamed!

The man held a cane and stood some distance away with his back to them, one hand behind his back, carrying himself like an unrivaled master.

For a moment, Fang Bai and the others were overjoyed, as if they had seen hope of survival!

"Senior! Save us!"

Fang Bai shouted at the top of his lungs.

The old man slowly turned around. It was Fu Qiandao.

At that moment, the monster bird also noticed the old man, but it chose to attack Fang Bai and the others.

One of its heads fired a blast of fiery energy, intending to burn them to ashes!

Just then...

"Wretched beast! Do not run wild!"

A thunderous voice rang out, and a mysterious force directly imprisoned that mass of flame!

At the same time, the old man's figure had already appeared above the flames, walking on air as though on level ground.

Only then did Fang Bai and the others stop, looking at the old man with excitement.

"Senior! Why are you here?"

Fu Qiandao said calmly, "I was merely passing by. How are you little ones so good at causing trouble? Even a Sixth Order demon beast has taken an interest in you?"

The group was somewhat embarrassed.

Fu Qiandao waved his hand calmly. "Never mind. Since this old man has encountered you, consider yourselves fortunate."

"With this old man here, I shall keep you safe within this space!"

After saying that, he did not forget to place one hand behind his back and raise his chin at a forty-five-degree angle, looking utterly invincible.

Fang Bai and the others wore strange expressions.

Why did this senior seem like he was showing off?

"Screech!"

In the air, the Three-headed Giant Bird continued to shriek impatiently, glaring viciously at the old man.

Fu Qiandao frowned, then looked at the monster bird. "Wretched beast! This old man saw at a glance that you weren't human!"

Monster bird: "???"

So what?

Fu Qiandao lightly tapped with his cane, and the imprisoned flames beneath him instantly exploded like fireworks!

At the same time, the Three-headed Giant Bird dove straight down, reaching above Fu Qiandao in the blink of an eye!

"Too slow!"

Fu Qiandao merely waved his cane casually. A blade of energy slashed directly across the monster bird's claws!

Rip!

The next second, the monster bird's claws separated from its body and fell below, while a gruesome bloody gash appeared on its body!

The monster bird cried out in pain, its wings flapping frantically!

No matter how slow-witted it was, it had now realized that its opponent was not someone it could contend with!

Without hesitation, the monster bird turned to make its escape.

But at that moment, a teasing voice rang out.

"Since you're already here, stay!"

A terrifying force pressed directly onto the monster bird. It screamed as its body crashed viciously into the ground!

"Is the gap between the Sixth Order and Seventh Order really this huge?"

Huo Qi stared in utter shock.

Li Xue sighed. "In the cultivation system, the nine orders are divided into three stages. The Third and Fourth Orders are a watershed, while the Sixth and Seventh Orders are a chasm. A Seventh Order fighting a Sixth Order is like a father beating his son."

Everyone: "..."

That analogy was really something else!

Suddenly, Zhang Zifeng caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye and asked in confusion, "Fang Bai, what are you doing?"

Fang Bai had already slipped over to where the monster bird's severed claws had fallen. With greedy eyes, he hugged them up and stored them in his Space Ring.

He grinned. "I've never tasted Sixth Order meat before. When we get back, I'll make some pickled-chili bird claws and see how they taste."

Everyone's faces darkened.

Fang Bai was over the moon. That was a Sixth Order demon beast! Even just one claw was extremely valuable! And if martial artists ate it, it could strengthen their physiques.

Zhang Zifeng pointed at him indignantly. "Come on, man, I never expected you to be this kind of person! Don't you know you can't take things that don't belong to you? I am ashamed to associate with you!"

Fang Bai said calmly, "I'll give you some."

"?"

Zhang Zifeng's expression immediately changed, his smile blooming like a chrysanthemum. "Hehe! You really are a good judge of character!"

Everyone: "..."
