Chapter 1089: City Center



Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio


The center of Yingsha City was a vast greenstone square. It had eight towers around it. The defensive formation was set up with the towers as the foundation points.


At the moment, around 20% of the humans were still alive. They’d grouped up in the square and hid within the defensive formation. They withstood the beasts’ attack with difficulty.


The humans that could survive obviously weren’t weak. However, the endless battle had used up most of their Holy Qi. They were all exhausted and unable to keep going for long.


Dawn had come, but surrounded by beasts, they couldn’t see the light at all.


“Die!”


“Kill!”



Beast Kings were all around them. They attacked together with dozens of shockingly powerful ancestral weapons. If one looked from afar, one would see dozens of star-like objects falling on a shield of light.


Boom! Boom!


The shield formed by the defensive formation shook violently under the attack of a dozen ancestral weapons. White rings rippled out. It was like a thin bubble that could burst at any time.


Below it, everyone held their breaths. They looked up nervously. The defensive formation blocked the dozens of attacks and didn’t break. However, it had become much more transparent.


How many more hits could it take? Everyone let out long exhales and wiped their cold sweat.


Many of them were extremely fatigued. They hadn’t rested in a long time and had used up most of their Holy Qi. They’d used up all their pills too. Once the defensive formation broke, they would most likely die here.


Even the strongest two Heirs weren’t as composed as before.


They also exerted the most energy. During the continuous battle last night, they’d used the Heir Stamp—their strongest weapon.


Each time they used the Heir Stamp, a portion of their Holy Qi would be used up. Other than that, they used very costly murderous tactics to kill dozens of Beast Kings.


Chi Wansui’s golden saint light dimmed. His hair was loose and his body was covered in blood. He looked like an exhausted general on the bloody battlefield.


Beigong Lan had also lost her fairy-like temperament. Her white robe was spattered with blood. Each blood spot had a hole beneath it. There was even a bloody claw mark on her back that had almost gone straight through her body.


Most of these grave injuries were from the last desperate attacks by Beast Kings before they’d died. If other Half-Saints had gotten these injuries, they would’ve died no matter how strong they were. Beigong Lan had a special physique allowing her to survive until now.


The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon transformed into human form with a pair of dragon wings and black horns. Powerful demonic Qi surged out, forming a huge vortex of clouds.


He stood in the sky and called out to Chi Wansui, “Chi Wansui, if you surrender and become my slave, I can consider setting these 10,000 humans free.”


There were thousands of humans left on the square. When they heard the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon’s words, they were all furious.


He actually wanted the Heir to become his slave?


The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon was clear that even if they broke the defensive formation and killed 90% of the humans, they still couldn’t kill the Heirs. They had trump cards and could escape.


However, to the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon, it would be a great regret if he couldn’t capture the two Heirs. After all, the Heirs were the strongest of all humans. They had very unique statuses. Not only were they the Empress’ disciples, they were also the heirs of the human emperor.


Not even 10,000 human elites were comparable to an Heir. Only capturing the two Heirs could hurt the human race enough. Also, when they returned to Kunlun’s Field, only then would they be able to negotiate with the Empress.


It would be best if they could capture all nine Heirs.


At the same time, the Yak Beast King yelled to Beigong Lan, “If you are willing to be my slave, I can consider freeing 10,000 humans too.”


The Yak Beast King stood on the ground, not too far from the greenstone square. Its body was like a small mountain and very strong. It called directly to Beigong Lan, wanting to make the female Heir submit to him.


The Yak Beast King was very strong. It was second only to the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon.


“Fight them! Worst case scenario, we all die.”


“Heirs, you cannot become their slaves. Even if we die, we die without regret.”



“Don’t you humans talk about retreating when necessary?” the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon yelled again. “Submit to me for now and you can save 10,000 lives. You won’t lose at all. You might even defeat me one day and escape from my control.”


Hearing this, Chi Wansui tightened his fists. Fire raged within him.


He knew what the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon was doing. In addition to negotiating with him, it was dividing the humans present. After all, as long as he nodded, he could save many people. But if he didn’t, the people here would most likely die.


Who didn’t want to live on?


The Yak Beast King pushed dark air out of its nose as if huffed. “You can save 20,000 humans, but you’re not willing to sacrifice yourself. Even if you escape successfully, you won’t qualify to become emperors with your character.”


There were some humans who were willing to die with the two Heirs. However, there were also some that kept silent and glanced over at Chi Wansui and Beigong Lan with anticipation.


This silence didn’t last for too long.


A deafening boom suddenly came from the city gates. Then everyone in the city center saw a horde of beasts running over from the gates. They were in a panic as if running for their lives.


“A powerful human is killing his way into the city! He killed two Lion Camel Beast Kings in a row!”


“Demonic Dragon Lord, he is a cruel man. He killed thousands of beasts by himself and is unstoppable. Only you can suppress him.”


News of the horrible figure reaching Yingsha City quickly stirred up a commotion. All the humans in the square were excited. They guessed that human reinforcements had arrived.


The various Beast Kings were caught off-guard. How could there be another strong human cultivator near Yingsha City?


The two Lion Camel Beast Kings weren’t the strongest, but killing them at once wasn’t easy.


Zhang Ruochen walked down the widest street in Yingsha City with a steady pace. He walked forward, step by step.


Each step was hundreds of feet apart.


At the same time, the Abyss Ancient Sword flew above his head, dragging out thousands of beams of Sword Qi. They swept in all directions. Any beast that tried to stop him was killed instantly.


As he walked, thousands of beast corpses were already piled on the ground.


During this entire time, Zhang Ruochen never moved a finger. He only used his Sword Intent to control the Sword Qi and already frightened the beasts so much that they fled into the city center.


Usual Pre-Saints would have used up all their Holy Qi by using the Sword Way like him. However, Zhang Ruochen had built a strong foundation in the four martial arts realms. He’d resonated with the gods four times. Each time, his Sea of Qi widened ten times more than the usual Monk. This way, his Sea of Qi was 10,000 times larger than the average man.


This had slowed down Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation speed, but it allowed him to have better stamina.


The savage beasts in the city center were lined up in a formation as if facing a great enemy.


Zhang Ruochen gradually slowed down and looked at the savage beasts. Finally, his eyes locked onto the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon.


“Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon, I will propose an exchange with you. I want to use a savage beast to exchange the lives of all humans.”


He faced the tens of thousands of beasts by himself, but Zhang Ruochen was still calm and fearless. Merely that composed aura scared many of the Beast Kings. They knew that he wasn’t a simple figure.
