Chapter 472: Monster
Everyone was expecting a bloody scene next. Would they ever feel it was too gory, or that Xiang Ning would lose? Remember who these people were. The darkest organizations in the world were large family clans, and there was a Chinese saying: the most emotionless place is an emperors home.
These large families had power, status, and strength, like the emperors from thousands of years ago. Ancient royal families chased after power, the kind that put them above everyone. These days, families chased after profits, and human greed for profit knew no bounds.
Even a young lady like Natalia was mentally prepared for the inevitable violence.
When everyone was ready to declare war against Xiang Ning, there was a sudden change as the tightly shut metal door creaked. Since there was only silence, it was especially loud.
Even Xiang Ning was distracted by the creak, every cell in his body trembling. His Combat Instinct only gave him such intense symptoms when he was in mortal danger. He had only experienced this four times in his life, and they were all extremely dangerous situations where it was likely he would die. His expression was solemn. He was currently under the influence of the Eight Gates, his state heightened to tier six, nine-star! If his Combat Instinct alerted him of mortal danger even in this state, what the hell was behind that door?
Heh hehe. I dont think this is the time to fight among ourselves.
Did you hear that sound from behind the door?
If you kill us now, you guys wont live either.
Xiang Ning gulped. Then something hit the metal door so hard that there was a protrusion. Everyones hearts sank. Hurry, leave now!
When the group was distracted by the sounds, Moray had already crawled toward the underground tunnel, and when Xiang Ning shouted, he scrambled and burrowed underground.
Xiang Ning furrowed his brows. There was another bang on the door, and this time, it made a hole. They saw an eye that wasnt human through the hole. But the eye belonged to a living being for sure!
Horror spread across the room. There was no time to imagine what monsters were sealed within this historical artifact; all they wanted was to get out! But there was only one exit, and leaving looked impossible.
Xiang Ning and Nathan locked eyes, both of them understanding each other. Instantly, sixty knives flew out and all the people who had wanted to kill Xiang Ning found a blade at their necks. Go!
The sudden change kept them calm, but in the next second, sharp claws gripped the edges of the hole, tearing it larger in both directions.The claws glinted like steel, so cold and sharp they gave them chills.
Then there was panic! Ignoring the blades at their necks, everyone ran toward the exit. Xiang Ning and Nathan weren't actually going to kill them now, so all the blades spun around and fell away.
The door was only enough to stall for a few seconds, during which the monster had ripped the metal door apart and was now fully emerged and standing before them.
It was barely 1.8 meters tall, slightly shorter than Xiang Ning. Its back was hunched and something grew on its skin like fur made of individual steel needles. Its animalistic eyes were bloodshot and staring at them like a beast staring at prey. Drool dripped out of its mouth that was filled with sharp teeth four or five centimeters long, and the muscles all over its body looked menacing!
Xiang Ning knew how sturdy that metal door was; he had tested it earlier. Although he didnt know how strong a tier nine person was, he was sure only a tier nine Sect Master couldve broken through it. This monster was a presence that could fight a tier nine Sect Master!
Quick! Get in! roared Xiang Ning. His entire body was trembling as he looked at the monster. No one knew its strength better than him!
Natalia and three other people entered the hatch first, and everyone else went into survival mode. They scrambled for the exit like madmen, but due to their numbers, they were stuck there! Some of them seemed to have a prediction and decided not to fight to leave after they were left furthest from the blocked hole. So they collapsed sitting on the floor, manically laughing,
One of them said, If I cant run, Ill fucking kill it! Then he raised his weapon and charged at the monster. When the monster saw the human charging at it, a hint of fire flashed in its eyes as it crossed the distance of one hundred meters within barely a second.
Before the person could react, his chest was pierced through, then torn in half from the center in the bloodiest manner. He didnt even have time to scream.
Everyone saw the entire thing happen before their eyes.
Hehe hehehe. Dead Were dead were never going to hold it off!
The terrifying presence overpowered Xiang Nings aura, despite his Sovereigns Throne still being activated. These people were initially surrendering to his regal aura, not daring to challenge him, even begging for mercy. But now, this monster could overpower three of him. It was four or five levels above him, completely out of his league. Everyone sensed the presence of death!
Xiang Ning saw that the hatch was stuck with people, then turned and saw the torn metal door ahead. A bold idea surfaced in his mind!
Xiang Ning! Whatre you waiting for? Come over here, Ill cover for you! When Nathan sensed he could no longer hold the people off, his blades returned to his side. He admitted that there was enmity between him and Xiang Ning but after witnessing Xiang Nings power, he had changed his mind. This was a dangerous place, and Xiang Ning seemed like a trustworthy person. Might as well make him a friend, revenge could be considered after they were out. At this point, he still had to admit that he couldnt beat Xiang Ning if he really wanted revenge.
When Xiang Ning heard him, he charged forward using the Shadowmist Ghost Step at Peak Mastery, though on his second step, the people who realized they couldnt escape went mad!
If we cant go, dont you think of leaving either!
As he spoke, the man fished something out of his chest, then tossed it at Nathan.
Nathan reacted by sending a flying knife.
Dont hit it!
In the next moment, there was a huge explosion. Even Xiang Ning, who was in his tier six, nine-star state, was thrown back by the explosion.
Doge & Chacha's Thoughts
Who's the idiot that threw the explosive?
