The Beast Kings, all of them froze, and then, let out a burst of scoffs, staring at Zhang Ruochen as if they were looking at a fool.
Did he know the identity of the Heaven Devouring Demon Dragon or not?
He actually wanted to use a savage beast to negotiate with the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon, and moreover, he wanted to exchange for the lives of all the Human Race cultivators.
In the defence formation, the human cultivators felt a little disappointed, they had thought that there were powerful reinforcements arriving, but they didn’t expect that only one person had arrived.
One person, even if he was strong, what could he change?
Even if Grandmaster Lidi and Snowless Night, who were ranked in the top five of the Half-Saint List, arrived, I’m afraid that they would still be able to reverse today’s situation.
“You are not yet qualified to negotiate with me.”
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon’s gaze did not even look squarely at Zhang Ruochen.
Even if he killed two Lion Hump Beast Kings, so what?
The beast kings of that clan were already weak and could not be considered top tier powerhouses. The Heaven Swallowing Devil Dragon had a strong enough cultivation and high eyesight, and it would take at least a being on the Semi-Saint List to be qualified to speak with him.
“Ow!”
The Golden Armoured Scorpion King let out a furious roar and spat out a deafening sound wave from his mouth, coalescing into a thirty-seven feet tall black beast shadow that charged towards Zhang Ruochen.
When one encounters a human cultivator, he is directly crushed and killed, there is no need to talk nonsense with him.
The Golden Armoured Scorpion King was both an ancient relic species and a powerhouse ranked fifty-sixth on the Half-Saint Ranking, his strength was one step more powerful than Princess Bai Li, even if it was just a sound wave that was spat out, it still had a powerful destructive force.
The black beast shadows and black hurricanes collapsed the buildings between Zhang Ruochen and the Golden Armoured Scorpion King, and soon surged to Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Zhang Ruochen stood still and merely pointed his finger forwards, and thousands of sword qi, immediately converged over and coalesced into a twelve-foot-long great sword.
“Wow–”
The sword light fell, splitting the black beast shadow condensed by the sound wave and dissipating into nothingness.
Immediately after, one of the Golden Armoured Scorpion King’s golden tail swept across and struck towards Zhang Ruochen. The tail had barbs growing on it, sharper than a holy sword, and it slashed past a huge boulder-stacked altar, immediately tearing the altar into two halves.
The Golden Armoured Scorpion King was immensely powerful, and the golden scorpion tail was a rather powerful means of attack for it, killing hundreds of Human Half-Saints with this move.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t dodge, he just spread his five fingers out and pinched in a certain direction in the void.
The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword flew back.
Zhang Ruochen lifted the sword and made a chop, executing a move from the True One Thunder Fire Sword Technique.
“Heavenly Thunder Crossing.”
The tip of the Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword rushed out a long black sword light with the power of thunder and lightning, colliding with the golden scorpion tail.
“Boom!”
Zhang Ruochen flew backwards for more than twenty feet before he landed back on the ground again, a sharp pain coming from his right hand that was squeezing the sword, and his entire arm was slightly numb.
“Worthy of being a being ranked fifty-sixth on the Half-Saint List, it really is extraordinary.”Zhang Ruochen secretly said.
Running the Saint Qi in his body rapidly for a large circumference, that pain and numbness in his right arm quickly disappeared.
In fact, the Golden Armoured Scorpion King was also in a bad way, as a three-metre long sword mark appeared on top of the scorpion’s tail, piercing through the golden armour and flowing out blood.
One must know that since the Golden Armoured Scorpion King had become famous, only one of the Nine Great Realm Sons, Chi Banzai, had broken through its golden armour, causing it to bleed out.
Banzai Chi, however, was a super fierce person who ranked ninth on the Half-Saint List, and moreover, it was only by using the Boundary Son Seal that he managed to do so.
All the Beast Kings present naturally knew how amazing the Golden Armoured Scorpion King’s defence was, and to be able to break through its defence meant that it was definitely a fierce fighter, and definitely quite dangerous.
Some of the Beast Kings began to move their positions, some reached Zhang Ruochen’s right side, some flew to Zhang Ruochen’s upper left side, and some cut off Zhang Ruochen’s retreat.
Their expressions were grave, as if they were on the verge of an enemy, attaching no less importance to Zhang Ruochen than the two Realm Sons of the Human Race.
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon turned its head and carefully sized up Zhang Ruochen, finally paying some attention to the young human man in front of it, asking, “Now, you are qualified to state your name!”
Zhang Ruochen’s gaze, sweeping in all directions, saw at least eight Beast Kings standing within two hundred feet of him.
Even some Lower Realm Saints, faced with such a situation, would choose to flee immediately. Because, the eight Beast Kings already had the power to slaughter Saints.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t have the slightest hint of fear as his gaze locked with the Heaven Devouring Demon Dragon and said, “Zhang Ruochen.”
The Heaven Devouring Devil Dragon obviously had some knowledge of the young masters of the Human Race, and upon hearing this name, a strange look flashed across his eyes as he said, “You’re that Space-Time Successor?”
“Sort of!”Zhang Ruochen said.
The human cultivators in the verdant square were all surprised, not expecting that the young man who had killed his way into the Winning Sand City alone was the famous Space-Time Successor Zhang Ruochen.
A Half-Saint from the Ministry of Soldiers felt incredulous and said, “Zhang Ruochen would even risk a great deal to rush to our rescue?”
“People have too many misconceptions about Zhang Ruochen, although, the Empress ordered to capture him, seemingly as a fugitive for a great crime. In reality, he is not a vicious and evil person, but instead, he has done many great things that are admirable.”Bei Gong Lan said.
At first, there was news that Lin Yue, the sword dao wizard of the Two Yi Sect, was most likely Zhang Ruochen.
Because, Lin Yue had some favours for Bei Gong Lan, she had specifically checked the information about Zhang Ruochen.
It was not until that time that she realised that Zhang Ruochen was a genius student of the Martial City Palace just like her.
If it wasn’t for, an imperial decree from the Empress that turned Zhang Ruochen into a felon that the court had to apprehend, it would have been impossible for him to leave the Martial City Academic Palace.
About Zhang Ruochen’s deeds, they were gradually unearthed, and many human cultivators had grown fond of him.
Winning Sand City had already fallen, yet Zhang Ruochen still dared to barge in, and just by virtue of this courage and this great righteousness, he had already made countless cultivators admire him.
The Heaven Devouring Demon Dragon saw through Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation realm and said, “You have a lot of potential and could have been an okay opponent, it’s just a pity that you don’t value your own life too much, and you dare to show up in front of me when you’re only at the seventh stage of the Half-Saint realm.”
“Since I dared to come, I naturally have full certainty of leaving as well.”
Zhang Ruochen appeared very calm and composed as he waved his sleeves around, and the space around him suddenly distorted slightly.
Immediately after, three silhouettes walked out from inside the distorted space, and they were none other than the three major experts of the White Li Cat Clan, the White Li Princess, the white-haired old man, and the white-haired old woman.
The Heaven Swallowing Devil Dragon’s gaze, which landed on Princess Baili, quickly averted its gaze again, and a cold voice came out of its mouth, “You were actually able to capture Princess Baili, so you do have some tricks up your sleeve.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Then, I’ll exchange the life of Princess Bai Li for the lives of all the human cultivators in Winning Sand City. What do you think?”
All of the Beast Kings present knew that the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon and Princess Bai Li had a close relationship, and it was likely that they would develop into mates.
A human cultivator who dared to capture Princess Bai Li and use it to blackmail the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon, his guts were truly not ordinary.
Would the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon actually beat that human cultivator to death in a fit of rage?
Or will it choose to give in and let all the human cultivators in Winsor City go?
No one could be sure what kind of choice the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon would make.
The devilish aura gushing out from the Heaven Swallowing Devil Dragon’s body became even more intense, enveloping half of Winning Sand City into darkness.
Obviously, the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon was already in a state of violent rage.
“Do you know that dragons have reverse scales? Bai Li, is my reverse scale, how dare you touch her.”The Heaven Swallowing Devil Dragon roared harshly.
Zhang Ruochen stood on the ground with his hands behind his back as he looked up and said, “So what if I moved?”
The Heaven Swallowing Devil Dragon’s body spun around and immediately transformed into its original form.
A black dragon tens of miles long appeared in the sky, its massive dragon head looking down and landing above Zhang Ruochen’s head, “I can tell you two things clearly, firstly, no matter what happens, today, the human cultivators in Winning Sand City must also die. Secondly, you will be subjected to have a cruel punishment, I will make you beg for your life and beg for your death.”
Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly, not expecting that the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon’s will was so firm that even using Princess Baili couldn’t change what it was going to do.
“Actually, we can change the way of negotiation.”Zhang Ruochen said.
“Speak.”The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon spat out a single word.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Let’s each take a step back, as long as all the Beast Kings in Winning Sand City retreat to 10,000 miles away, I can return Princess Baili to you. How?”
The Heaven Devouring Demon Dragon naturally understood Zhang Ruochen’s meaning, this Time Transmitter, wanted to fight for the human cultivators in the Winning Sand City, to have a slight chance of surviving.
As long as the Beast Kings all retreated, those remaining savage beasts simply couldn’t hold back the human cultivators, and they would soon be able to break out.
Of course, for Beast King level beings, a distance of 10,000 miles was not too far, a round trip would only take half an hour, and they would soon be able to rush back to Winning Sand City.
As long as the human cultivators can break through before the Beast King returns, they will be able to live.
If they didn’t break out within half an hour, then it would be a dead end.
“The number of savage beasts in Winsand City is huge, it’s simply impossible for the human cultivators to kill their way out within half an hour.”
The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon secretly projected, and it simply couldn’t project that there was a possibility for the human cultivator to escape.
It laughed coldly and said, “This condition of yours is not excessive.”
“That is, a promise?”Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly.
“Promised!”The Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon said.
In the Winning Sand City, apart from the Heaven Swallowing Demon Dragon, there were eighteen other Beast Kings.
Zhang Ruochen brought Princess Baili and flew out of Winning Sand City first.
From the beginning to the end, the Heaven Swallowing Devil Dragon followed behind them, wary of Zhang Ruochen taking advantage of the opportunity to escape.
It wasn’t until Zhang Ruochen and the Heaven Devouring Demon Dragon both reached an area ten thousand miles away that the eighteen Beast Kings took flight and hurried over.
With all the Beast Kings withdrawn, the human cultivators in Winning Sand City immediately launched the most ferocious counterattack.
“Kill, kill out.”
“Zhang Ruochen bought us half an hour’s time at the cost of his own life, we absolutely cannot let his death become worthless.”
All the cultivators of all races thought that Zhang Ruochen would surely die, after all, he was facing nineteen Beast Kings, there was no way he could have any chance of survival.
Today, it was a situation of certain death, however, Zhang Ruochen had used his own life as a price to break the deadlock and reverse the fate of heaven, fighting for a ray of life for them.
In the hearts of many human cultivators, an unspeakable gratitude also arose, and their hearts were greatly touched.
