“Hey! There’s still a living human.”
“Since he didn’t die, he must’ve escaped but co back to die. What an idiot.”
...
The beasts were surprised. They hadn’t expected that any humans would co back to Yingsha City, so they all laughed. They looked at Zhang Ruochen with more mockery.
More than 20 black scorpion beasts climbed out of the yellow sand, appearing before Zhang Ruochen. They spat out poisonous black fog and their eyes shone with green light.
Anyone could see that they were filled with murderous intent and were ready to split up this human.
“Living is pain, death is pain. Life but yellow dirt,” Zhang Ruochen said as he walked, feeling extrely emotional.
Hearing the noise, the humans on the wall who were still alive opened their eyes. They stared at the human who was walking over.
“Hurry...run...” soone rasped out. His voice was very weak, like a candle in the wind that would die at any mont.
Wan Huayu and Shangguan Linglong also opened their dull eyes, looking at the unfamiliar man. He was very young and handso, with a noble aura. Instead of a strong cultivator, he looked more like a rich heir who liked to travel and sightsee.
Right now, he was surrounded by dozens of black scorpion beasts. He was most likely going to die.
They’d witnessed too many deaths yesterday and were a bit numbed. However, Wan Huayu felt like he was familiar. She might have seen him before. However, she’d lost too much blood and couldn’t rember where she’d seen him.
“Hurry...leave... Yingsha City has fallen...” As Wan Huayu said this, blood poured out of her mouth. Blood continued flowing out of her pale stomach too.
“You really are strong. You can still speak. No wonder you killed so many strong cultivators of my race.”
A half-human beast standing below the gate snorted coldly. He lashed out with his fire whip and hit Wan Huayu, leaving a long gash on her right leg. Wan Huayu grunted and her slender legs shook violently.
However, the human man didn’t listen to their warnings. Instead of running, he continued walking toward Yingsha City.
The half-human beast stared at Zhang Ruochen and scoffed. “Kill him. Rip him to shreds.”
The 20-sothing black scorpion beasts pounced on Zhang Ruochen at once. They were all around seven or eight ters long. Their sharp pincers shone coldly like blades.
The humans hanging on the wall all sighed. So of them closed their eyes, unwilling to see what would happen next.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t stop walking. He just reached out and pressed forward. A Space Domain spread out instantly. Its invisible pressure spread in all directions.
Boom, boom!
The black scorpions flying in the air all cried out in pain. Their shells shattered and their bodies exploded, forming a bloody mist. Seeing this, the humans on the wall opened their eyes again in shock.
The beasts present were surprised. Then they started yelling in anger. So continuously stomped on the ground with their hooves. Others jumped down from the wall, flas rising up from their bodies.
The beasts had taken over the human military base, becoming the rulers of this area. How could they let a human kill more than 20 beasts?
Unbelievable.
Boom!
A group of beasts with imnse murderous Qi rushed toward Zhang Ruochen. There were black scorpions, lion cals, blood-drinking ants and others. More than 1,000 beasts charged across the sand, lifting up rolls of smoke.
Thousands of huge beasts charging at once was definitely a powerful scene. Even the Spiritual Qi in this area shook violently.
Even a mountain would be flattened instantly, let alone a human.
Zhang Ruochen stopped, paused, and then continued forward. But when he took his first step, the sky changed instantly. Even the black clouds shook.
Thousands upon thousands of Sword Qi lined up in a row, crossing dozens of miles. As Zhang Ruochen walked, the Sword Qi whooshed forward like a dozen-mile-long wave. It crashed into the horde of thousands of beasts.
Poof!
Poof!
...
The sharp Sword Qi killed the rows of beasts as if cutting down grain. In the end, only a few dozen strong Grade Six beasts survived. The rest of the thousands of beasts all beca bloody corpses.
The entire ti, Zhang Ruochen walked forward with a steady pace. He didn’t speed up or slow down.
These beasts were all very wise. When they saw how terrifying this human was, even they were frightened.
Whoosh, whoosh.
The dozens of miles of Sword Qi continued pushing forward. The beasts didn’t dare touch it at all. They kept retreating until they got into Yingsha City.
The humans hanging on the walls were all shocked. They hadn’t expected for there to be such a powerful swordsman amongst the younger generation.
Who was he?
Now, the people finally started studying Zhang Ruochen to guess who he was. He was showing his true appearance right now. Very few people had seen him like this before, so no one could recognize him.
The half-human beast below the city gates had the body of an alligator and head of a man. It was completely covered in yellow-brown scales.
“I underestimated you,” it huffed. “Seems like you have so skills.”
Whoosh—
The half-human beast held a flaming whip. Waving its arm, it swung the whip out. Dozens of miles of flas crashed toward the Sword Qi wave.
The beast was very strong. It had already experienced the First Trial of the Pre-Saint.
Zhang Ruochen reached out and ford another sword technique.
Whoosh!
The Sword Qi imdiately retracted and grouped together, forming a long white battle sword. It flew out with ear-splitting booms like a streak of white light. It pierced the half-human beast.
The beast’s body was dyed red. It flew back like a cannon and smashed against the wall, embedding into it.
It was still alive.
The next mont, thousands of beams of Sword Qi flooded out of its body, cutting it up into ground at. It poured down from the wall.
The Sword Qi flew back and circled Zhang Ruochen, forming a sizable Sword Qi Domain.
The beasts on the broken wall were dumbfounded. It was their first ti seeing a human perform the Way of Sword so precisely and fluidly. Was he a young Sword Saint?
Even the human female Heir hadn’t cultivated the sword to this point.
“A domineering and cruel figure has arrived. Imdiately notify the Beast King.”
“So scary! He just moved a finger and already killed the Alligator General. He’s a Pre-Saint but didn’t even have the chance to escape before getting killed.”
...
The savage beasts were in terror and imdiately notified the Beast Kings fighting in the city. Only a Beast King could stop him.
Zhang Ruochen stopped around 300 feet from the city gate. He looked at the humans hanging on the wall with calm eyes.
Wan Huayu’s voice was weak. “Hurry and leave... Yingsha City has already...been lost...You can’t change anything. Once the Beast Kings co out, you can’t leave e-even...even if you...try...”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t answer. Ignoring Wan Huayu, he studied the nails in their bodies and discovered beams of powerful Spiritual Power. The black nails were actually Spiritual Power implents. They sealed their strength so they couldn’t escape and could only watch as they bled to death.
“Such strong Spiritual Power. It seems that there must be a Beast King that focuses on Spiritual Power.”
Zhang Ruochen could estimate the level of the Spiritual Power from the ripples contained in the tal nails. This Beast King was very close to level 50 and was even stronger than Zhang Ruochen.
He reached out. Spreading his fingers, he cast his Spiritual Power. The black nails in the hundreds of humans on the wall trembled with grating noises.
The humans were all shaken. They were clear how terrifying the owner of the nails in their bodies was. They’d already submitted to their fate, thinking that they would definitely die. There was no way to escape.
But a young and handso man had appeared out of nowhere. He even had Spiritual Power strong enough to shake the nails stabbed into them.
“Collect.”
Zhang Ruochen clenched his fist and pulled his arm back. The hundreds of black nails flew out at once. Under Zhang Ruochen’s control, they circled in the air and flew toward the beasts atop the wall.
Amid pained cries, more than a hundred beasts fell from the towering walls. Hundreds of humans slid down from the wall. When they landed, they sprawled on the ground, coughing up blood.
Around 200 humans were still alive but with severe injuries. Of course, those that were still alive were all the strongest of the strong.
Everyone looked at Zhang Ruochen gratefully. Respect and curiosity also colored their eyes. Who exactly was he? How could he be so skilled in both Spiritual Power and the Sword Way?
Roar!
Just then, a Beast King’s roar spread out from within Yingsha City. The roar and clattering of hooves approached, rushing out toward the city gates.
