"No!"
Before anyone could ponder, Geng Nian immediately stepped forward and said, "Lost City has hundreds of thousands of people, and the large ships can only carry over ten thousand at a time. This is simply unfeasible!"
"That's right, if we leave, what about the people in Lost City? Are we just going to watch them die here?"
"Exactly, we guards disagree..."
The guards voiced their opposition, but as soon as they finished, Shi Yan sneered, "Heh, at this time, you guards are still thinking so much. As long as we can survive, what does it matter to us if they live or die."
"Exactly, at this point, we can't all die here together, can we? It's better for us to live than to die together!"
...
Listening to Shi Yan and the others, Geng Nian's expression turned unsightly. However, before he could say anything, Fan Lie beside him said, "Alright everyone, let's observe first. If the situation becomes desperate, then we can only choose this path!"
Saying that, Fan Lie glanced deeply at Geng Nian, his eyes seeming to hold a hidden meaning.
"Hmph!"
Seeing this, Geng Nian snorted and remained silent. He knew Fan Lie was threatening him. If it truly came to that, and he dared to refuse, he believed Fan Lie would act on the spot.
*Dong~*
Just then, another violent tremor shook them. Everyone's expressions changed in unison. They no longer argued and rushed outside.
Upon emerging, they saw a massive tentacle, like a pillar supporting the sky, sweeping over and fiercely striking the protective formation of Lost City.
Instantly, the great formation of Lost City, as if subjected to a terrifying attack, vibrated intensely, showing signs of imminent collapse.
However, at this moment, waves of spiritual energy flowed from the formation patterns around the city walls, allowing the formation to stabilize once more.
But even so, the terrifying might left everyone's faces aghast, their hearts filled with lingering fear. "Damn it, is this the terror of the Heavenly Human Realm? Each blow is enough to shake the city's protective formation!"
"Yes, judging by this trend, it won't even take ten days. At most three days, no, or even less, the formation might completely collapse!"
"That's right, everyone, it seems we need to make preparations in advance, lest we be too late..."
The city guards exchanged glances, having already made up their minds to flee.
Meanwhile, the people below the city walls were unaware of this. Under the attack of the Heavenly Human Realm monster, they suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, seeing this, Fan Lie immediately snorted, "Hmph, you beast, you dare to be so arrogant, taste my spear!"
With that, Fan Lie immediately brandished his spear and charged towards the nearest Heavenly Human Realm monster, intending to stop its rampage.
However, in the next second, to everyone's astonishment, facing Fan Lie's terrifying spear, the Heavenly Human Realm monster simply raised a hand.
Then, Fan Lie, as if struck by some terrifying force, was sent flying back with a single blow, crashing heavily against the city wall.
"Commander!!"
Instantly, everyone showed concern and immense surprise.
Is this the Heavenly Human Realm? In its presence, even someone like Fan Lie, who was at the Half-step Heavenly Human Realm, could not resist. It was unimaginable how terrifying it was.
And there were three such monsters surrounding Lost City!
For a moment, everyone felt a sense of despair. At this moment, they could only hope that Lost City could hold on until these monsters retreated, otherwise, only death awaited them.
"Cough, cough!"
At this moment, Fan Lie also stood up. He coughed lightly a few times before saying, "Everyone, this monster's strength is terrifying, not something we can contend with. From now on, focus all your efforts on defending the protective formation!"
"Yes, Commander!!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They had seen the situation just now, and indeed, they couldn't win. From now on, they could only defend the city walls.
However, what they didn't know was that the reason Fan Lie said this was not to reduce casualties, but simply to make them hold on, to buy time for themselves to escape...
On the other side, in the moat not far from the city, Ye Feng had also recovered from his injuries and witnessed this scene. This gave him a clearer understanding of the terror of the Heavenly Human Realm.
In a word, below the Heavenly Human Realm, there was no match!
"With four Heavenly Human Realm monsters appearing at once, it seems Lost City is likely to be annihilated this time!" Ye Feng thought to himself.
Then, he became worried again. Le Yao and Luo Bing Shuang were still inside. If the city were truly destroyed, these two would likely be in danger.
"Damn it, it seems I still have to go in and take a look!"
Finally, Ye Feng gritted his teeth and had no choice but to head towards Lost City.
Just as the city's protective formation opened, he found something to conceal himself and immediately blended in with the retreating crowd.
Upon entering, Ye Feng rushed towards the place where he and Luo Bing Shuang were staying. However, as he approached the vicinity of the house, he saw three city guards standing at the entrance, talking about something.
"Damn it, do you think that little vixen will come back? We've been waiting for days!" one of the guards said impatiently.
"How would I know? Speaking of which, that little vixen is quite good-looking. If I could sleep with her for a night, I wouldn't mind losing ten years of my life!" another guard said lecherously.
However, as soon as he finished, the last one, who looked like a captain, immediately frowned, "Alright, you two, stop talking. I received news that the commander and the others are planning to..."
Ye Feng didn't hear the rest of the words. The man was whispering into the ears of the other two, making it seem like very confidential information.
However, Ye Feng felt he had heard enough. He let out a cold smile, and several icy needles filled with a chilling glint immediately appeared and shot towards them.
*Swish, swish~*
With a few piercing sounds, two of the three guards were instantly unable to react and were pierced through the forehead by the ice needles, dying instantly.
The remaining captain-like figure, however, managed to react. His entire body dodged rapidly to the side, avoiding the shot.
But even so, the terrifying power instantly made the man's face change drastically, and a wave of lingering fear washed over him.
"Who, who's behind me? Come out!"
He drew his long saber with a whoosh, looking as if he were facing a great enemy as he scanned his surroundings, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
Ye Feng chuckled softly, no longer concealing himself, and walked out, saying, "What, have you forgotten me after only a few days? Or do you think I'm already dead?"
"Huh? It's, it's you?"
Instantly, the man's eyes widened like ox eyes, as if he had seen a ghost, and he muttered, "This, this is impossible, how, how are you not dead?"
At this moment, his eyes were filled with disbelief. How did Ye Feng survive, and how did he manage to sneak into the city?
But none of that mattered anymore. What mattered was that Ye Feng stepped with his逍遥步 (Xiaoyao Bu - Carefree Steps), and his figure instantly closed in on him.
"Want to know? Sure, I'll send you down, and you can ask the King of Hell yourself!!"
With that, the雷神拳法 (Lei Shen Quan Fa - Thunder God Fist Technique) was also unleashed. A punch, carrying countless electric arcs, instantly slammed into the man's chest, leaving him no time to react before being sent flying out...
