Peerless Immortal Emperor in City

Chapter 952 918: Reckless Courting of Death (Combined Chapters, 4200 Words)

"Ahhh! The monsters are coming! The monsters are coming!"

"Oh my God! How could this happen? We were hiding here, how did they find us!?"

"Why is this happening, why!?"

Most of those hiding in the sewers were ordinary people. When it was safe earlier, they could barely remain calm. Now, seeing the giant foot descending, they were terrified out of their wits and couldn't help but scream out loud.

Immediately, it became incredibly noisy. The sound penetrated through the hole made by the giant foot, reaching outside—into the perception of other giant humanoid monsters!!

Boom!

Boom boom boom!!

The ground began to shake more violently and intensely. It was clear that more giant monsters were coming here, approaching like starving wolves that had smelled meat upon hearing the human cries!

"Don't panic! Everyone, don't panic, stop crying out! Be quiet! Be quiet!!" Eiliana saw so many people falling into chaotic panic and screamed urgently, "If you keep this up, you'll attract those monsters! Quickly, quiet down! Quiet down!"

"We still have hope, everyone, don't panic. We still have hope. Those monsters move slowly. As long as everyone stays quiet and keeps them from pinpointing the source of the sound, we have a chance to escape!" Qin Yun also reminded the people that shouting like this was practically courting death!

Actually, though a monster had discovered them and even attacked, stomping its foot down, this wasn't an enormous crisis yet. Qin Yun and Ji Nanxiang could handle one or two giant monsters together, and Eiliana with her three Knights could fend off another one. It wasn't much of a problem.

The real crisis lay precisely in these people's bewildered and terrified cries!

Such loud cries would quickly attract more giant monsters here. If those monsters completely surrounded them and destroyed this underground sewer space, that would be true despair.

No escape!

However, though these giant monsters were terrifyingly powerful, almost comparable to the strength of a Great Saint at the third heavenly level and possessed humanoid forms, they moved very slowly. It would take some time for them to gather, and this time was the opportunity to escape.

Everyone listened to Qin Yun and Eiliana and quickly quieted down, looking at each other, holding their breaths again. Yet, their eyes couldn't help but fixate on that giant foot!

They feared that foot might suddenly kick over!

The strength of these giant humanoid monsters was horrifying. Just a light kick could smash a twenty-story building, making it impossible for ordinary people to withstand such devastating power!

If that giant foot kicked over now, at least a third of the people here would die, even with Qin Yun and Eiliana's protection. They've already sheltered the refugees many times before.

But this time, they might struggle, given that now, both of them and Ji Nanxiang, as well as the three remaining Knights with Eiliana, were utterly exhausted, finding it even difficult to move.

Never mind moving quickly or attacking in combat.

If it comes to that, they might have to burn their own life essence to gain some power to support themselves in action; otherwise, there would be no solution.

"No! I don't want to run anymore! I won't run! I want to die!"

Just then, a middle-aged man in his thirties suddenly shouted, collapsing to the ground. He was an Englishman, his expression was utterly hopeless as he said emptily, "No, I'm not going. I want to die here!

My wife, my children, they all died at the hands of these monsters. What's the use of me surviving? I've been fleeing and hiding for days, missing them every day. I don't want to return. I want to die, die! Let everyone die together! Hahaha! Come on! Monsters, come!"

"This crazy man, he's lost it, wants us all to die with him!?"

"Damn it, if you want to die, die by yourself! Don't drag us with you! Damn you!"

"Kill him!"

The crowd shouted, noisier than before. Outside, the rumbling grew louder as the monsters approached, and at the same time, the giant foot that had stomped down earlier suddenly moved!

BOOM!!

The foot lifted, stirring a violent gust, blowing people off balance, hurling countless rocks and broken steel bars, as powerful as bullets!

BANG!

Several pieces of steel and rubble struck the despairing Englishman, smashing through his head, blood spraying everywhere, red and white fluids gushing out. He died on the spot.

"Ahhh!"

"Oh my God! Ahhh! Oh Lord!"

"Run! Run now!"

The screams of terror rose one after another, many people's emotions collapsed on the spot, unable to control themselves.

"Watch out!" Ji Nanxiang seemed to sense something, her face changed as she leaped into the air above the crowd, her Divine Power unfurling, forming a golden shield of light.
