"I told you, you can't run!" The middle-aged man was raged. He used his Qi too. It turned out he was a Qi-concentrating Realm master.
The woman was killed in an instant.
The man threw away his broken machete and used the Qi blade.
"Either them or us!"
The middle-aged man shouted.
The rest of the spotters shivered.
But the middle- aged man was the best Qi practitioner among the group, so no one dared to disobey him. They all used their Qi to fight the puppets.
Qi tipped the scale to the favor of the spotters' team. Fewer puppets were coming toward them. But none of them showed any sign of joy and relief. They all knew Qi would draw Evil Spirit's attention to them.
But they had no choice at the moment.
The sewer was filled with the bodies of the puppets. The remaining spotters sat on the pile of bodies and panted. There were only nine people left, among them seven male and one female.
Half an hour had passed since they took a break. The middle-aged man stood up and said, "Let's keep moving. We'll have to speed up for the rest of the way. Let's get out from the other side of the sewer before more puppets find us."
The others followed the man's order, standing up. After the battle, the spotters had regarded the middle-aged man as their leader.
The eight people traveled much faster. There were a couple of puppets coming at them, but they were all killed by the middle-aged man.
They traveled three kilometers in half an hour. Seeing on the map the last remaining sewer to travel, everyone felt a little relieved.
"Let's go. The sooner we finish it, the sooner well get back to safety!" the woman said with excitement.
"Let's go," the middle- aged man also sounded delighted.
They finished the last one kilometer in less than four minutes. Then they came under a sewer entrance.
Joy appeared on everyone's faces. The sewer entrance would lead them to the outside of Thunder Town!
"I'll go and have a look!"
The woman went up and got out of the sewer
first.
When the manhole cover was lifted, sunlight shone through. Everyone had been living underground for a long time, and the sudden sunshine gave them some discomfort.
"Let's go. Let's get out of here. I'm about to puke from the smell!"
A couple of spotters also climbed up.
"Let's go," The middle-aged man followed.
Henry was the last.
When Henry jumped out of the manhole, a beam of Sword Qi went straight at him.
