Chapter 1486: Chapter 662: Dispersal (Part 2)

"We can leave the city! We can leave the city! Everyone, leave the city! Don’t flee into the city anymore!!"

Originally, a stream of people fleeing into the city, they instantly turned darkly dense and changed direction, running uniformly towards the city gate.

However, due to the previous fleeing efforts, Ding Hui and others had now become the leaders closest to the city gate.

"Bring those two guys along, we are leaving the city!"

Ding Hui glanced at the direction where the noise came from just now, which seemed to be the direction of the An Family, one of the Ten Major Families.

"Amitabha..."

Monk Quan Heng recited a chant and then carried the almost breathless mass of flesh, as well as the still unconscious Song Zhenrong.

He would return, return to Thunder City, return to the An Mansion.

But not now.

He must... first save the people in front of him, and then go on to save the beings within the city.

Lacking the obstruction of the Thunder Pillar, the group rushed out of the city first, due to their various injuries and poor conditions, the safest choice was undoubtedly the official road.

"It’s not ideal! The refugees behind will surely choose the official road as well, they are vast in number and extremely likely to attract the demons’ attention."

Ding Hui analyzed calmly.

"Not taking the official road is even more dangerous!" Monk Quan Heng had come all the way from Zhongfu Temple and was fully aware of how perilous the wilderness really was.

"...Alright, once Diao Deyi wakes up, we’ll change to a smaller path alone."

While they were discussing this...

"Escaped! Escaped!!"

"Hahaha! Finally left Thunder City! I’m never coming back to this damn place!"

"Thunder City? Demon City! Just like the second Demon Capital!!"

"Escape, escape, escape! Keep running, don’t stop!!"

Behind them, a dense mass of refugees fled out from the city gate, surging towards them.

Ding Hui and Monk Quan Heng exchanged a glance, preparing to hurry on their way, but suddenly their expressions changed simultaneously.

"Roar!!!"

It was the roar of a demon!

Turning back to look, they saw a demon seem to notice the disappearance of the restraints at the city gate, looking at the densely packed delicious marsh of humans, drooling and chasing after the refugees.

"Quick, go!"

Ding Hui shouted.

But Monk Quan Heng remained completely still.

"Master Quan Heng?"

Ding Hui looked at him, already guessing what he intended.

"Master Ding, go ahead, I will hold it off."

The Great Demon is still far from us, besides, it eats those who run at the tail end of the refugees, as long as they keep fleeing, this Great Demon won’t be able to threaten them.

Ding Hui frowned.

"That’s how you repay my husband’s kindness? My husband is still unconscious, I am merely a weak woman, frail in strength, mingling with refugees, yet you want to leave us, go fight against a demon?!"

Monk Quan Heng’s expression stiffened.

On one side are tens of thousands of refugees, about to fall into the mouth of a demon.

On the other side are close friends and family in distress, needing personal protection.

"...Amitabha, Master Ding, priorities must be considered. You have Master Lu to protect you, you are comparatively safe, but those common people are about to fall into a demon’s mouth."

"What if there are demons obstructing the way of escape ahead as well? The commotion from Thunder City is so great, surely demons have been disturbed, maybe they are lying in wait ahead, waiting for us to walk into the trap! At this time, you don’t stay with us to protect us, instead, you go to protect the refugees; should anything happen to us, can you sleep peacefully?"

Reasonably argued, but...

Monk Quan Heng clasped his hands together.

"Amitabha, I cannot guarantee against unseen events, I only save... the people before me."

"Open your eyes and see, we are the ones before you!"

"...At this moment, they are."

Roar!!!

The Great Demon opened its huge mouth, already biting towards the mass of refugees at the tail end!

"...I will return!"

Leaving these words, Monk Quan Heng already shot towards that direction.

"Damn monk!"

Ding Hui already disliked Monk Quan Heng, and now despised him even more.

"Lu Qiaochun, let’s go!"

Giving Song Zhenrong a Medicine Pill, and then stabbing some needles into the mass of flesh, Ding Hui shouted fiercely.

Lu Qiaochun was also planning to return to Thunder City, but she wasn’t in such a hurry, she could wait until everyone was safe, and then go back to Thunder City to search for the Rebel Army’s whereabouts.

The Array collapsed, the Defiled Blood Clone Demon was perishing, its strength had long been exhausted; the death of a clone no longer infused others or its main body.

As the main body, the only benefit for the mass of flesh was that only once all clones died would the side effects be transmitted to the main body.

This meant that Song Xi, the mass of flesh, had already entered the countdown to death.

But Ding Hui didn’t care; compared to this, she was more worried about Fang Yu’s safety.

Find a safe place first, and only then consider separating Song Xi from the connection with the Defiled Blood Clone Demon; if Song Xi couldn’t hold on until then, that was simply her fate.

Of course, if Song Zhenrong could wake up, regain some strength to protect them, Ding Hui wouldn’t mind finding a random place to attempt rescuing Song Xi.

Song Zhenrong didn’t know that his waking speed at this moment was deciding his sister’s life and death.

Although severely injured by Song Qianlong, under the effect of the Medicine Pill, his consciousness indeed was gradually clearing...

...

"Wretched beast, stop for me!!"

Monk Quan Heng shouted loudly, barely driving the Great Demon back a few steps.

But the ground was in chaos, already at least hundreds of people had met their tragic end in the mouth of this Great Demon.

"Holy Monk! Holy Monk save me!!"

"Master, it’s the Master from the temple coming! Master save us!"

The despairing refugees below were densely packed; seeing Monk Quan Heng appear was like seeing the Buddha reborn, they all knelt down simultaneously.

But Monk Quan Heng’s condition actually wasn’t good; all he could do was stall the Great Demon, buying time for the beings below to escape, rather than kill it.
