"Holy shit, that's way too fierce!"
Yang Yong's voice had gone shrill.
He clung to the edge of the balcony, his knuckles white.
Wang Ying stood frozen, even forgetting to breathe.
When that last shock wave swept over them, if Zheng Xiaofeng hadn't stood in front of them, the two of them would already have been piles of mangled flesh.
White gouges marked Zheng Xiaofeng's iron armor, deep enough to fit a finger into.
He grunted, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
None of them spoke. Scrambling and stumbling, they retreated another two hundred meters.
A small three-story building.
The rooftop.
They lay prone on it, hardly daring to breathe.
In the distance, those two creatures were still tearing into each other.
Every swipe of the Rat King's claws came with a shriek that tore through the air.
One swipe sliced a nearby building in half like tofu. Before the rubble could hit the ground, its next swipe smashed it into powder.
The great snake refused to be outdone.
Every time its enormous jaws snapped shut, they could hear the steel reinforcement of an entire building screaming. With a crack, the building broke apart.
A sweep of its tail brought a whole cluster of buildings crashing down, sending dust billowing into the sky.
Mo Family Village.
Of the dozens of buildings that had once stood in orderly rows, a dozen or so were already gone.
Flesh and rubble filled the shattered ruins.
At a glance, it looked like hell.
The rat and snake attacked faster and faster.
Especially the Rat King.
It darted around the great snake, moving so fast that only an afterimage remained.
Every swipe went straight for a vital spot, vicious enough to make their scalps crawl.
For a fleeting moment.
