We bear people have power

With the campfire burning, chunks of crocodile meat weighing over a hundred pounds were separated into pieces by Guan Bo's knife.

Although it was a broken sword, Guan Bo was quite satisfied with its sharpness, only that it was too light. For Guan Bo now, the weight of a feather and a precious sword were no different.

Guan Bo originally only wanted to catch a few fish to fill his stomach, but in this seemingly clear stream, there were only a few small fish, no bigger than a finger, and Guan Bo was too lazy to even try to catch them. Undeterred, Guan Bo swam upstream for a mile, but still caught nothing.

Finally, it was the giant crocodile in the river that lunged out of the mud, trying to swallow Guan Bo whole, that made Guan Bo notice.

No wonder there are almost no fish or shrimp around here, because it's the territory of this giant crocodile.

After a fierce battle, Guan Bo finally managed to kill the giant crocodile and then floated downstream back to where he started.

It was because they were far away that Guan Bo didn't notice Zhang Yuanshan was in danger.

In truth, it's just bad luck for these people. If Guan Bo had returned even a little later, Zhang Yuanshan would have been taken away by them, and Guan Bo, in this desolate wilderness, wouldn't have been able to catch up.

If Guan Bo had returned earlier, Zhang Yuanshan wouldn't have been seriously injured, and Guan Bo wouldn't have attacked him so fiercely. Lin Feibo and the others would probably have been taught a lesson and escaped with their lives.

Unfortunately, as fate would have it, Lin Feibai and his accomplices harbored evil intentions, committed heinous acts, and reaped bitter fruit; they could only bear the consequences themselves.

Lin Feibai, the renowned Yama Blade Master, had no time to lament that his precious blade had turned into a meat cleaver. He was busy circulating the Divine Demon Alliance's techniques to heal himself.

Both of his legs were smashed from the knees down by Guan Bo, a bloody mess, making it impossible for him to stand. The excruciating pain almost made him faint. If it weren't for the excellent hemostatic and healing effects of this divine skill, Lin Feibai estimated that he wouldn't have lasted more than two hours.

Three other experts joined Lin Feibai in attacking Zhang Yuanshan, but unlike Lin Feibai, they were not as clever and immediately used the information about the Demon Extermination Alliance elders to intimidate Guan Bo. Facing this murderous enemy, they dared to fight back, and thus all became victims of Guan Bo's hammer.

With his legs gone, Lin Feibai's martial arts career was ruined; now, all he wanted was to survive. All his dreams of divine skills and invincibility had vanished with the deaths of his three companions.

Guan Bo had no time for petty tricks like forced confessions. He had bled a lot to reattach Zhang Yuanshan's severed hand. He was already starving, and now his eyes were practically glowing with greed.

At this moment, Guan Bo discovered another advantage of his ugly hammer.

The hammer still held an inextinguishable demonic flame, its tiny, inconspicuous sparks capable of burning everything when swung around.

This piece of crocodile meat, weighing over a hundred pounds, would probably take half a day to cook with ordinary fire. But with this demonic fire, it was cooked through in no time.

Guan Bo wasn't afraid of getting burned; he secretly grabbed a large piece with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth.

After taking a bite, Guan Bo frowned and said, "Sigh, it's a bit too fishy and the taste is a bit bland. I can only eat it as is."

In the story, the male protagonist is particularly good at grilling meat, and the plot where a piece of grilled meat makes the female protagonist fall in love is, after all, just a story.

This giant crocodile, which is almost sentient, doesn't have very good meat; it's a bit fishy and tough. However, compared to ordinary food, it contains a small amount of spiritual energy, making it exceptionally filling.

Guan Bo tore off a large piece and handed it to Zhang Yuanshan, who grabbed it with his newly reattached right hand and began to eat it somewhat clumsily.

Although the severed hand has been reattached, it has not fully recovered and has become quite inflexible. While it is not completely immobile, it is unlikely to be able to use a sword.

But Zhang Yuanshan didn't care and took every opportunity to train, ignoring the fact that his wound was still in excruciating pain.

Seeing his expression, Guan Bo couldn't help but admire him; he himself probably wouldn't have accepted reality so quickly.

Seeing Zhang Yuanshan sweating profusely from the pain but unwilling to switch hands, Guan Bo advised him, "Brother Yuanshan, I will definitely find a way to heal your arm. Don't be impatient now; haste makes waste."

Zhang Yuanshan smiled wryly, but remained silent as he used his right hand.

Seeing this, Guan Bo couldn't bear it any longer, so he pointed at Lin Feibai and cursed, "Look what you've done, you idiot!"

If possible, Lin Feibo would love to use this as a demonstration of flipping a table.

He lost an arm, and I lost both my legs. This is blood for blood, isn't it?

Of course, he could only say this in his heart, and dared not show it at all. Lin Feibai was so aggrieved that tears streamed down his face.

This is truly a case of bad luck where even drinking cold water can cause problems. He thought he had encountered a junior from the Demon Extermination Alliance who could be easily dealt with, but suddenly this terrifying young man appeared, completely shattering Lin Feibai's worldview.

"That doesn't make sense. How could someone in the martial arts world have never heard of such a skill? Could it be another expert created by the Demon Extermination Alliance's divine skills? Sure enough, the Demon Extermination Alliance has grand ambitions. Hiding such an expert must mean they harbor evil intentions." Lin Feibai's mind raced, and he began to accuse the Demon Extermination Alliance of several crimes according to the conspiracy theory format.

However, now is not the time to delve into this; the key is to save our lives.

As he was pondering this, he saw Guan Bo walking towards him with a large piece of crocodile meat stabbed in his precious sword. Lin Feibo's hair stood on end. The feeling of having his life in someone else's hands was terrifying.

"Alright, now tell me, what danger did the two elders of the Demon Extermination Alliance encounter?" Guan Bo asked fiercely, taking a piece of crocodile meat from his hands.

“They encountered a monster! We came down the mountain to report the news,” Lin Feibai replied.

"You attacked people from the Demon Extermination Alliance? What kind of information did you report?" Guan Bo didn't believe it at all. It was like calling the police and then stabbing them instead. Only an idiot would do such a thing.

"I was blinded by greed and coveted the Demon Extermination Alliance's divine skills. However, it is absolutely true that Master Yideng and True Man Chongyang encountered danger. If I have lied to them, may I die a horrible death," Lin Feibai swore to the heavens.

According to Zhang Yuanshan, Yideng and Chongyang Zhenren went to Pingdingshan to borrow a treasure from the Demon King. The timing of this seemed to fit, so it was undoubtedly true, and Guan Bo couldn't see anything false about it. He had even imagined a scenario where Lin Feibai, being cowardly, abandoned the others and ran away.

"When and where did they encounter what kind of monster?" Guan Bo pressed.

"Just today, we arrived at the foot of Pingding Mountain and were about to climb up when we saw a huge demon with a blue face and fangs. He was about a hundred feet tall, and one of his fingers was bigger than my whole body. He was wielding a spiked club, which could shatter mountains and split rocks with a single blow. Moreover, his skin was like it had been cast in molten copper, making ordinary swords and knives useless. We were no match for him, so we fled back." Lin Feibai exaggerated as much as he could. In reality, the Clever Insect was two heads shorter than an average person and as fat as a ball.

Guan Bo's response was to give him a light slap, knocking out his teeth. But the slap was really light; otherwise, it wouldn't have been his teeth that were knocked out, but Lin Feibai's head.

Guan Bo pointed to a distant mountain peak and cursed, "This flat-topped mountain is no more than two hundred feet tall. You're telling me that monster is a hundred feet tall? Only a blind person could not see such a huge monster."

Lin Feibai had absolutely no idea how Guan Bo had calculated the height of Pingdingshan, and felt as aggrieved as a wronged little wife. Isn't that how storytellers always exaggerate? A hundred-zhang-tall monster is nothing; they can even boast about soaring ninety thousand li into the sky. What's a little exaggeration like his?

Lin Feibai simply doesn't understand what it means for science students to be so meticulous. These kinds of people can chat with their goddesses all day about a few hundred yuan worth of atomizing devices and moisturizing cosmetics, using all sorts of facts and data to explain that these things are actually only worth twenty yuan.

Of course, these meticulous STEM guys don't have girlfriends, and Guan Bo is naturally a single dog as well.

Lin Feibai had no choice but to recount the events with some reservations. Of course, he dared not exaggerate the size of the monster, but he could add some artistic embellishment to the monster's magic.

Therefore, the scene of the monster using the gourd to absorb the flames became the scene of it opening its mouth and spitting out a ball of demonic fire, directly burning people to ashes.

"You're really not lying to me this time? If you lie to me again, it won't just be a slap in the face." Guan Bo toyed with the broken knife in his hand and glanced at Lin Feibai's pants.

Feeling a chill between his legs, Lin Feibai quickly swore through his slurred mouth, "Absolutely not. The one who was burned to death was a top-tier figure in the martial arts world, the one who slew the Hongsha Sword Clan's Zuo Zhongtang, and was considered the number one swordsman. There's no faking it."

Lin Feibai thought to himself that Zuo Zhongtang was already seriously injured, and regardless of whether the demon or the Demon Extermination Alliance won, they would both die. Therefore, no one would expose him for boasting about a dead man.

Guan Bo believed him only halfway; at least Lin Feibai's fear of monsters wasn't feigned. Just as he was about to press for the location of the encounter, he saw a disheveled person emerge from the dense forest.

He held a sword in his hand, his steps faltering as if he were seriously injured. However, his eyes gleamed with a restrained brilliance, clearly indicating that he was a master of internal energy.

In the dim light, only those eyes were visible; the face was not clearly discernible.

Guan Bo was unsure whether the other party was friend or foe, and was about to ask when the man spoke first: "Are those people over there friends from the Demon Extermination Alliance?"

Zhang Yuanshan replied, "I am Zhang Yuanshan of the Demon Extermination Alliance. May I ask who you are?"

Upon hearing this, the man seemed overjoyed and quickly stepped closer, saying, "Indeed, you are a friend of the Demon Extermination Alliance! Master Yideng and True Man Chongyang have encountered a monster on the mountain and urgently need our assistance!"

Upon hearing this, Guan Bo realized it confirmed what Lin Feibai had just said. Ignoring the crippled man, he helped Zhang Yuanshan to meet them.

Upon closer inspection, the man was indeed dignified and imposing, exactly matching Guan Bo's imagined image of a chivalrous hero.

Zhang Yuanshan asked, "May I ask your name, sir?"

This chivalrous martial arts master clasped his hands and said, "I am Zuo Zhongtang, the 'Stunning Sword'."

Ha ha……

After hearing this, Guan Bo turned his head and glanced at Lin Feibai, seemingly looking for a place to strike.
