God Emperor - Chapter 1090

Chapter 1090: 1090

All the Beast Kings were shocked, but then they started laughing and staring at Zhang Ruochen as if he was an idiot . Did he not know who the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon was?

He wanted to use a savage beast’s life to negotiate with the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon?

The humans within the defensive formation felt a bit disappointed . They’d thought that powerful reinforcements were here, but instead, only a single person came . No matter how strong someone was, how could he change anything?

Even if it was Master Lidi or Xue Wuye, in the top five of the Half-Saint Rank, would they be able to change the tides?

“You aren’t qualified to negotiate with me . ”

The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon never even looked at Zhang Ruochen . So what if he had killed two Lion Camel Beast Kings?

They were naturally weak and weren’t top fighters at all . The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon was strong enough and had very high standards . Only those on the Half-Saint Rank were qualified to speak to him .

Roar!

A Golden Scorpion Beast King roared, spitting out deafening sound waves . He formed a 370-foot-high black beastly shadow that charged toward Zhang Ruochen .

Humans should be killed directly instead of wasting time talking to them .

The Golden Scorpion Beast King was an ancient race and 56th on the Half-Saint Rank . He was even stronger than Princess White Li . Merely his sound waves were very destructive .

The black beastly shadow and gale demolished the buildings between the beast and Zhang Ruochen . It quickly flew to Zhang Ruochen .

He stood in place and pointed forward . The thousands upon thousands of Sword Qi immediately grouped over, forming a 120-foot-long sword .

Whoosh—

The sword light fell down, hacking apart the black beastly shadow formed by sound waves . It dissipated .

Next, the Golden Scorpion Beast King’s tail swept over toward Zhang Ruochen . There were thorns on the tail that were even sharper than a saint sword . It scraped past a huge stone altar, slicing it in half immediately .

The Golden Scorpion Beast King had boundless strength . The golden scorpion tail was an extremely powerful tactic too . It had killed more than 100 human Half-Saints with this trick .

Zhang Ruochen didn’t escape . He opened his hand and grabbed in the air . The Abyss Ancient Sword flew back . Zhang Ruochen grabbed the sword and cut down, using a trick from the True-Thunder Fire Sword Technique .

“Heavenly Thunder World . ”

A long beam of black sword light surged out of the tip of the Abyss Ancient Sword . It crashed into the golden scorpion tail with the power of lightning and thunder .

Boom!

Zhang Ruochen flew back more than 200 feet before landing again . His right hand that had held the sword was in immense pain . His entire arm was numb .

No wonder it’s 56th on the Half-Saint Rank, Zhang Ruochen thought . It shouldn’t be underestimated .

After circulating the Holy Qi through him quickly, the pain and numbness of his right arm quickly disappeared .

The Golden Scorpion Beast King wasn’t well off either . A ten-foot-long gash opened up on its tail . It pierced the golden shell and made it bleed .

One must know that ever since the Golden Scorpion Beast King became well-known, only Chi Wansui, one of the nine Heirs, could pierce its shell and make it bleed .

Chi Wansui was a monstrous figure, ninth on the Half-Saint Rank . He also had to use the Heir Stamp to accomplish this .

All the Beast Kings present knew how strong the Golden Scorpion Beast King’s defense was . Anyone who could penetrate its defense must be a powerful and dangerous person .

Some of the Beast Kings started moving . Some went to Zhang Ruochen’s right or flew to his upper left . Others cut off his exit path . They were very serious, as if facing a great enemy . They treated him as seriously as the two Heirs .

The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon turned around . It studied Zhang Ruochen carefully and finally took this young man seriously . “Now, you are qualified to report your name!”

Zhang Ruochen scanned the surroundings . He saw at least eight Beast Kings within 200 feet of him . Even some lower Saints would choose to escape immediately . Eight Beast Kings was enough to kill a Saint .

Zhang Ruochen didn’t show any fear though . Staring straight at the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon, he said, “Zhang Ruochen . ”

The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon clearly had some knowledge about this figure . Hearing the name, its eyes flashed . “You’re that Time and Space Descendant?”

“I guess!” Zhang Ruochen said .

The Monks on the greenstone square were all shocked . They hadn’t guessed that the young man who’d killed his way into Yingsha City was the famous Time and Space Descendant, Zhang Ruochen .

A Half-Saint from the Ministry of War felt incredulous . “Zhang Ruochen really risked everything to come save us?”

“Everyone has misunderstandings of Zhang Ruochen,” Beigong Lan said . “The Empress wants to arrest him and he seems to be a horrible criminal . He’s not a cruel man though . Instead, he’s done many impressive feats . ”

Earlier, news had spread that Lin Yue of the Yin and Yang Sect was very possibly Zhang Ruochen . Lin Yue had helped Beigong Lan before, so she’d specifically read some material about Zhang Ruochen .

At that time, she learned that she and Zhang Ruochen were both genius students of the Martial City Academy . If the Empress’ verdict hadn’t turned him into a wanted criminal, he wouldn’t have left at all .

As Zhang Ruochen’s background was gradually revealed, many Monks had positive feelings toward him .

Yingsha City had already fallen, but Zhang Ruochen still dared to come in . This courage and loyalty impressed countless human cultivators .

The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon was clear about his cultivation realm . “You have big potential and could be a nice opponent . However, you really don’t treasure your own life . You’re only a Seventh Level Half-Saint and yet you dare to appear before me?”

“Since I came, I’m obviously confident I can leave . ”

Zhang Ruochen was composed . He waved his sleeve and the space around him warped . Next, three figures walked out of the space . They were the three top figures of the White Li Cat Race—Princess White Li and the two white-haired elders .

The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon’s gaze fell upon Princess White Li and quickly looked away . It snorted coldly . “You actually captured Princess White Li . That’s quite something . ”

“So, I will use Princess White Li’s life to exchange for all the humans of Yingsha City,” Zhang Ruochen said . “What do you think?”

All the Beast Kings present knew about the close relationship between the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon and Princess White Li . They may become companions .

This human had actually kidnapped Princess White Li to threaten the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon . He wasn’t the typical kind of brave .

Would the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon destroy the human in anger? Or would it choose to surrender and release all the humans of Yingsha City? No one was sure what the beast would do .

Demonic Qi rolled off of it . It thickened, casting half of Yingsha City into darkness . It was clear that the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon was furious .

“Don’t you know that dragons have reversed scales connected to our hearts?” the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon roared . “White Li is my reversed scale . How dare you touch her?”

Zhang Ruochen stood on the ground . Hands behind his back, he looked up . “So what if I touch her?”

The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon turned and transformed into its original form . A black dragon, dozens of miles long, appeared in the air . The huge dragon head looked down at Zhang Ruochen .

“I can tell you two things . First, no matter what happens today, every human in Yingsha City will die . Second, you will be punished cruelly . I’ll make sure you wish you were dead . ”

Zhang Ruochen furrowed his brow . He didn’t expect the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon to be insistent . Not even Princess White Li could stop it from doing what it wanted to .

“Actually, we can try another negotiation method,” Zhang Ruochen said .

“Speak,” the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon uttered .

“We’ll each take a step back . As long as all the Beast Kings in Yingsha City retreat to 10,000 miles away, I’ll return Princess White Li to you . How about that?”

The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon obviously knew what Zhang Ruochen meant . The Time and Space Descendant wanted to fight for a chance for all the humans in the city to live .

As long as all the Beast Kings retreated, the remaining beasts wouldn’t be able to stop the humans at all . Of course, 10,000 miles wasn’t far for a Beast King . It would only take around an hour total to hurry back .

As long as the humans could break through the siege before the Beast Kings returned, they’d be able to survive . If they couldn’t break out in an hour, they could only die .

There are too many beasts in Yingsha City, the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon thought . The humans won’t be able to break out in an hour at all .

It couldn’t figure out any way for the humans to escape . Snickering, it said, “Your request isn’t that bad . ”

“So you agree?” Zhang Ruochen smiled .

“Yes!”

In addition to the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon, there were 18 Beast Kings in the city . Zhang Ruochen took Princess White Li out of Yingsha City first .

The Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon followed behind them the entire time so Zhang Ruochen couldn’t escape .

The 18 Beast Kings didn’t fly up and hurry over until Zhang Ruochen and the Sky-Swallowing Demonic Dragon were 10,000 miles away .

After the Beast Kings all retreated, the humans of Yingsha City immediately started fighting back with all their might .

“Kill . Kill them!”

“Zhang Ruochen has used his life to win an hour for us . We can’t let his death go to waste!”

The humans all believed that Zhang Ruochen would definitely die . After all, he was facing 19 Beast Kings . There was no way he could survive .

They were about to die today, but Zhang Ruochen had used his own life to force the tides to turn . He’d flipped nature to get them a chance to survive . Many of the humans felt ineffable gratitude and emotions .
