A moment of spiritual pressure confrontation set off a whirlpool of dark mist rising into the sky in the quiet forest of tree stumps.

As soon as the whirlpool rose into the sky, it was suddenly shaken open by the sound of Xiao Ran's three swords, turning into bursts of breeze and dissipating without a trace.

Peace returned to the forest again.

It was Xiao Ran's heart that was not at peace.

The cold sweat that suddenly broke out on the back was dried by the sound of the sword.

What the hell could sneak up on him so easily?

Under the huge wooden pile, a black shadow as dry as firewood climbed up.

After the lingering dizziness dissipated, Xiao Ran could clearly see the true appearance of the black shadow.

This is a bird.

A one-winged bird!

The body is about ten feet tall. The dark withered wings on the right side are stuck on the ground. The black feathers are fluffy and rotting. They hit the tree stump again. The feathers scattered all over the ground and turned into dust and smoke in the blink of an eye.

The sharp claws are like scimitars, the long beak is like a sharp sword, and a pair of protruding huge white eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes, vaguely forming two spiral patterns, making people shudder.

But after all, this is just a Hades bird...

It's a beast of the underworld, not the underworld!

Its body was emaciated and rotted so badly that Xiao Ran couldn't distinguish the species of the bird.

A bit like a phoenix, a bit like a luan, and a bit like a golden crow...

The cultivation level is the golden elixir realm!

This is not right.

Why could a golden elixir realm bird approach him quietly, and he didn't notice it until he was less than one foot away?

With the second-level resonance awareness fully activated, Xiao Ran stared at the single-winged bird and examined it carefully.

It's very strange. This is a Hades bird that has been deeply immersed in Hades poison. Judging from the smooth and dark wounds under the left wing feathers, it seems to have been torn apart by the underworld.

But looking at the underworld poison in its body, it is different from the general underworld beast being dominated by the underworld poison and dying - this underworld bird actually has a faint control of the underworld poison!

It has reached a transcendent state of harmonious symbiosis.

So much so that this bird actually has intelligence that far exceeds that of ordinary underworld beasts. It uses the thick underworld mist to hide its aura, approaches Xiao Ran step by step, and launches a surprise attack.

The next movement of the single-winged bird also confirmed Xiao Ran's guess.

I saw this bird getting up slowly.

It withstood Xiao Ran's hasty three-fold sword sound, and its posture looked embarrassed. In fact, it was attacked by Xiao Ran, so it did not suffer any injuries.

In the case where the golden elixir cultivation level absolutely suppressed the Qi refining cultivation level, it did not launch a second attack mindlessly like other underworld beasts.

Instead, he folded his wings and circled around Xiao Ran, looking up and down at Xiao Ran with a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Xiao Ran felt goosebumps as he watched.

It was as if I was not being watched by a bird, but by a... birdman.

Infected with the underworld poison and evolved into a demon?

Is it related to Toshiko?

It seems that only the Black Ring Group is studying the fusion of the Netherworld and humans and beasts.

Although Xiao Ran's sword strike just now was hasty and lacked power, the roar of the three stacks of swords resonated step by step, and its power was enough to kill Lu Pingtian before he was promoted.

However, this bird was able to release its power perfectly, allowing its body to break tree stumps and withstand the force of the sword unharmed, which shows its high IQ.

Xiao Ran became curious for no reason.

The same is true for single-winged birds.

His wings were folded and he was walking like a person pacing with his hands behind his back, his bloodshot eyes staring straight at Xiao Ran's dantian.

The ghostly consciousness faintly scanned Xiao Ran's Qi sea, and after confirming that he was a Qi refining practitioner, his bloodshot eyes finally locked on the sword hanging at Xiao Ran's waist.

This was the first time someone stared at Xiao Ran's natal sword.

Not yet human.

Can a crippled bird recognize a sword?

Xiao Ran guessed that the bird must have mistaken the resonance sword technique he just performed for the special effect of the natal sword.

After all, it is just a bird. No matter how high its IQ is, it is still just a bird-man. It is unrealistic to expect it to have an IQ that exceeds that of humans.

One person and one bird confront each other.

Xiao Ran could defeat the upgraded Lu Pingtian, so he was naturally confident in defeating this dark bird.

I just feel inexplicably that it might not be easy.

This is a dark forest with a swarm of underworld beasts. Once humans and birds fight, spiritual power will leak out and attract the underworld or high-level underworld beasts, which will be bad.

The underworld beast was worthless, so Xiao Ran was ready to run away.

Then he turned over and pulled out his disciple's sword, stepped on it and tried to move.

When the single-winged bird saw this, the tip of its wings moved, its body flashed, and it rushed forward in a spiral, causing an explosive sound in the air, and instantly knocked over Xiao Ran's sword.

Xiao Ran moved, barely avoiding it with a strange posture, and almost got a bite out of him.

He never expected that the bird would spiral forward with one wing, flying faster than it could with two wings.

What kind of bird is this?

The big bird spins around in one move, which is faster than Nascent Soul Lu Pingtian's fast and chaotic swords!

The soles of Xiao Ran's feet trembled, and he turned over and retreated, once again opening a distance of ten feet.

Maybe you can use constant foot shaking to trigger random critical strikes and hit flying flashes, but after all, it is only an instantaneous speed. Once you continue to fly, you still can't outrun this one-winged bird!

He actually can't run away...

Suddenly I wanted to learn Master's escape skills.

For the first time, Xiao Ran realized the cruelty of real battle. In the end of the Dharma era, no one should be underestimated, not even the Birdman.

You can't run, you can only fight.

Xiao Ran's consciousness was fully opened, and his body merged into the world.

The single-winged bird struck the ground with one wing again and stood on the cross-section of the tree stump. The spiritual pressure fused with the poison of the underworld slowly spread out, and a pair of bloodshot eyes locked tightly with Xiao Ran.

One person and one bird, confront each other again.

I don’t know when it started, but the white fog around me was dissipating.

There's something wrong with the atmosphere...

Xiao Ran stared at the single-winged bird, but his consciousness looked towards the sky.

Black fog billowed above the head, winds gathered, and the air pressure suddenly dropped, making the hair on the hair stand on end and the joints shaking.

By the time Xiao Ran and the single-winged bird couldn't concentrate on locking onto each other and raised their heads together, it was already too late.

The white fog completely dissipated.

Black mist covers the sky and the earth.

The sky suddenly tore open a circular crack, like a bloody mouth.

Red blood dripped like lava, dyeing the sky occupied by black mist red.

Xiao Ran and the one-winged bird's eyes were frozen, and their consciousnesses were violently dizzy!

When Xiao Ran came back to his senses, blood curtains poured down from all directions, quickly forming a blood column space that enveloped the entire canyon.

This is a rare underworld!

Da Ming is coming!

How could Da Ming appear in the wild?

No time to think about it...

The first lesson in the Dharma-ending era - Escape!

This is Xiao Ran's most instinctive thought.

The Nether Core is very valuable, and the Great Nether Core is even more valuable, but the appearance of Netherworld is always distributed according to needs. There will never be a Netherworld that is weaker than humans, let alone the Great Netherworld!

Even though Xiao Ran was protected by his master, he still didn't want to confront Da Ming rashly.

If Da Ming attacks civilians, as a sword holder, Xiao Ran will definitely not run away, but now that Netherworld appears out of thin air, only a fool will not run away.

Xiao Ran was thinking about escaping, but his body hadn't moved yet.

The single-winged bird didn't even think about it. Its bloodshot white pupils froze for a few breaths. When it came to its senses, it spread its single wings and flew away in a spiral.

It was extremely fast, emitting a loud sonic boom, and slammed into the wall of the underworld that had already solidified.

Snapped!

I ate dog shit.

The underworld wall is an insurmountable space barrier for high-level spiritual bodies.

If an ordinary underworld beast touches the underworld wall, it will be sucked into the abyss on the spot. Even if it is lucky enough to escape, it will have to exhaust its spiritual power.

As a result, the single-winged bird only ate a dog's excrement, then jumped up and jumped up without losing any blood, just like a normal person.

This is a mythical beast!

Xiao Ran suddenly felt that Da Ming might not be coming for him, but for this dark bird!

But the underworld bird came towards him...

Xiao Ran is not too stubborn.
To be continued...
