With a single glance, Su Shi'er could more or less discern who was strong and who was weak.
The Demon Cultivator of the Demon Race who bore a grudge against him might not have been invincible within his stage, but he was certainly among the very best of those at the same stage.
Against such an opponent, Su Shi'er had no chance of victory whatsoever.
Naturally, there was no need to tell Turtle Taoist any of this.
After all, Turtle Taoist's current strength truly could not offer much help.
Though his heart was heavy, his mind remained exceptionally clear and rational.
After swiftly sweeping his gaze around, Su Shi'er took a deep breath and sped deeper into the Fiery Cloud Hundred Demon Path.
But the moment he moved, he sensed a wave of scorching heat, carrying monstrous Demon Qi, sweeping in from afar.
This heat wave was searing, yet utterly different from the Demonic Fire of magma constantly erupting from underground—two entirely different styles.
"Not good! That Demon Cultivator came far too quickly!"
Su Shi'er's expression changed again, his brows instantly twisting into a knot.
After only a brief thought, he decisively halted and turned to look toward the incoming heat wave.
In his sight, the heat wave and Demon Qi were merely the appetizer.
Behind them, demon clouds gathered across the sky. A hundred li away along the Fiery Cloud Hundred Demon Path, a pillar of fire shot into the heavens as it raced over the ground.
Before the figure arrived, its vast aura had already spread outward in ripples like water.
Almost the instant Su Shi'er stopped, Demon Qi surged within the Demonic Essence overhead. Fireballs filled the sky like flaming meteors, trailing long tails as they tore through the heavens and hurtled toward Su Shi'er.
**Bang! Bang!
