Chapter 619 The Old House Was Attacked

"boom!"

The huge bronze axe chopped towards Bifang with the force of wind and thunder. The latter dodged hastily, but still had half of its tail feathers cut off.

"you!"

Bifang spoke in human language, his voice was sharp, "We are both demons, why are you helping humans?"

Tushan Yuhua sneered: "This Saint Son is worshipped by the human race and sits here. If you don't retreat, I will fight to the death!"

Kuiniu took a step forward at the right time, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

That look was as if he had seen some delicious food.

"Let's fight!"

Bifang was extremely angry.

After all, it is a great sage of the demon clan. How could it retreat when provoked like this?

If this gets out, where will it save its face?

But it doesn’t matter. Ideals are full, but reality is skinny.

Even though it tried its best, it was no match for the two monsters. It was beaten so hard that it cried out in pain and was almost stripped of all its feathers.

"You have fallen into depravity, and I, the Great Sage, will not have anything to do with you!"

Bifang vomited blood, tried to save his dignity with a stubborn face, and flew away.

"Do you want to chase him?"

Kuiniu asked.

Tushan Yuhua put away her fox tail: "No need, our mission is to defend the imperial capital to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."

…

Suburbs of the imperial capital.

Bifang failed to achieve his goal and left angrily. At that time, he saw a wealthy area in the suburbs of the imperial capital from afar.

One of the manors that was set up with an array formation caught its attention.

"There is a formation in this manor, which means there are human cultivators."

Bifang sneered and blew out a mouthful of flame, heading towards the manor, "It's just right to eat it to make up for my loss."

However, at the moment when the flames touched the light curtain of the formation, a phoenix shadow suddenly appeared and swallowed all the flames in one gulp.

"How is that possible?!"

While Bifang was shocked, a mutant white-crowned long-tailed pheasant flew out from the formation, pointed at it with its wings akimbo and yelled:

"Where did this wild bird come from? How dare you run wild in the Phoenix Clan's ancestor's territory? You are blind!"

This white-crowned pheasant seems to have shown signs of reversion to its ancestral lineage, with its tail feathers in seven colors and its chest and abdomen also in five colors.

Looks extremely majestic.

It’s Xiaobai.

It has been practicing silently in the Huo family's old house over the years and has swallowed many elixirs. It is no longer the same as before.

Bifang took a closer look and discovered that it was an underage white-crowned pheasant that hadn't even cultivated a human form and was not a demon at all. He immediately sneered.

"How dare a mere mortal bird be so arrogant? I'll just swallow you to vent my anger!"

Just as it was about to pounce, a huge black stick suddenly stretched out from the formation and hit it hard on the back.

Bifang screamed and fell to the ground. Looking up, he saw Zhu Yan with disheveled red hair walking out with a stick on his shoulder.

"You dare to touch the little cub of the Phoenix Clan?"

Zhu Yan grinned, revealing his sharp white fangs, "Are you tired of living?"

Bifang was stunned, and suddenly felt that he could not understand this world anymore.

It struggled to stand up: "Zhu Yan! How could you, a dignified ancient beast, ..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhu Yan struck down with another stick.

Bifang dodged hastily, but was swept by Zhu Yan's stick, which instantly broke its bones and feathers, and made it look miserable.

"Don't beat him to death."

Xiaobai flapped his wings and said, "Wait for the ancestor to come back and decide what to do."

Zhu Yan nodded, changed his stick technique, and forced Bifang into a corner.

Bifang tried to fly away several times, but was bounced back by the light curtain of the formation. Finally, he was exhausted and knocked unconscious by Zhu Yan's stick.

"Tie him up."

Zhu Yan pulled out a golden rope from his ear.

This is the rope that it stole from some unlucky monk.

Xiao Bai tilted his head and looked at the unconscious Bifang: "It is also a descendant of the Phoenix Clan, right? Why is it so weak?"

Zhu Yan shrugged: "How would this Great Sage know?"

…

On the seventh day after Huo Qinghuang left, Fang Lei and his team found a temporary camp deep in the Taihang Mountains.

Nearly a hundred mutants gathered here.

Most of them are similar to Fang Lei. They have mutated due to the blood of monsters or the radiation of spiritual energy. Some of them have grown sharp claws, and some can control plants. However, they are all regarded as "monsters" by the survivors' settlements.

Some people were grateful to the mutants for protecting the shelter, but they couldn't hide the fear and disgust in their eyes.

"Look at his wings, they are exactly the same as the bat monster that attacked us yesterday!"

A man with a bandage on his face shouted harshly, the steel pipe in his hand creaking.

Fang Lei subconsciously protected the little girl behind him. His wing membranes spread out due to his excitement, and the sharp bone spurs flashed in the sunlight.

This defensive reaction from deep in the blood actually confirmed the label of "monster", and the crowd instantly burst into screams of panic.

"Stay away from them, who knows if they might go crazy suddenly..."

A woman walked away quickly, pulling her child.

Fang Lei smiled bitterly and touched the scales on his face that had not yet faded.

Since being infected by the Nine Infants' venom, he has gained the ability to fly and partial resistance to toxins, but his appearance has become more and more like a monster.

"Don't worry about it."

Zhou Ya walked over, and a trace of water on her fingertips shone faintly in the sunlight.

"You'll get used to it."

This team of more than one hundred mutants has become the main defensive force.

But the price they paid was that they could never return to ordinary life.

"Master Huo is here!"

Someone suddenly shouted.

Fang Lei looked up and saw Huo Qinghuang coming towards him on the clouds. She was dressed in green and looked like a banished immortal, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding ruins.

Behind her followed a tall young man in a golden dragon robe, looking majestic without even showing anger.

"Have you thought about it?"

Huo Qinghuang got straight to the point, "Come with me, or stay here and continue to be excluded."

Fang Lei and Zhou Ya looked at each other and knelt on one knee at the same time: "Master Huo, please give me some advice!"

Huo Qinghuang nodded: "From today on, you will be called the 'New Alliance'. I will teach you how to control the power in your body, but the condition is that you must obey my orders."

"Why should I trust you?"

A petrified mutant stood up and said, "You are not a monster like us."

Ao Jiu suddenly appeared in front of him, and the dragon's might forced him to kneel on the ground.

"She could turn you into ashes with just a thought, but she chose to waste her time teaching you ants how to survive. Is that reason enough?"

Huo Qinghuang waved her hand to stop Ao Jiu: "Those who don't want to can stay. But remember, without power, you don't even have the qualifications to be feared."

"Those who follow me will learn how to use this power to protect themselves and those they want to protect. But remember,"

She looked around at everyone, her eyes sharp as a knife, "If anyone dares to use power to do evil, my sword will not kill the innocent, but it will not tolerate scum either!"

In the end, twenty-seven mutants chose to follow, and the rest returned to the shelter.

What they don't know is that this decision will completely change their respective destinies in the near future.

…

Huo Qinghuang traveled all over the world with these mutants, and ruthlessly killed any evil monsters they encountered along the way.

But there are also a few monsters, as the Sky-Horned Ant said, that do not cause harm to the human world.
