The ground shook more and more violently. A Beast King charged toward the city gates. The powerful and wild aura flooded out from inside the city.

The injured humans below the city wall all repressed their wounds and immediately escaped. With their current weak state, the Beast King could kill them with an exhale.

However, they realized that instead of escaping, the young man stood straight in front of the city gates. A semi-transparent shield of light wrapped around him, stopping the air current from surging out.

“Hurry and run! A Beast King is charging,” a heavily injured elder yelled while escaping. “If you don’t run, you’ll die here.”

“Oh no. He must be targeted by the Beast King already,” someone guessed. “He can’t move at all.”

Why else wouldn’t he run when he discovered the Beast King’s aura?

Bloody light flowed out of the city gates, dyeing the surrounding world red. The fleeing humans who were touched by the red light were all locked. Then a powerful weight pressed down on them so they couldn’t move at all.

“So we still can’t escape?”

Everyone felt bitter inside. They looked back and saw two huge mountains charge out of the red light.

No.

They weren’t mountains—they were two Beast Kings.

Two Lion Camel Beast Kings charged out. They were more than 700 feet tall and just like two quickly moving mountains. Their auras were bigger than two savage barren mountains, shaking their souls.

“Where is that cruel figure? Come out to die!”

“How dare you humans run? I will capture you all and punish you cruelly. I’ll break your legs first and see if you can keep running.”

The two Lion Camel beast Kings seemed able to swallow mountains. When they spoke, their words were like huge bells. The newly-freed humans spat out blood and fell to the ground from the vibrations.

They locked onto the fleeing humans and rushed out.

Standing before the two Beast Kings, Zhang Ruochen seemed tiny. Compared to them, he was like an ant.

The two Lion Camels didn’t know he was the “cruel figure.” They stomped forward, about to turn him into flattened pie.

When they were around 100 feet from Zhang Ruochen, he raised his arms. Two beams of Holy Light appeared with crackling noises.

Argh!

Roar!

A dragon’s roar and elephant’s cry sounded.

Zhang Ruochen’s aura sharpened. A blue dragon and elephant’s apparition appeared on either side of him. These two images were even bigger than the two Lion Camel Beast Kings. Their auras were much stronger too, and were even comparable to an ancient divine dragon or hellish elephant.

The two Lion Camel Beast Kings were shocked. Things seemed wrong.

A boundless world seemed to be contained within the tiny human. Horrifying might spewed out of him.

Kaboom.

Zhang Ruochen slapped forward and the dragon and elephant shot out. They crashed against the two Lion Camel Beast Kings, sending them flying. It was like two metal mountains clashing. The huge noise could shatter a lower-level monk’s eardrums.

“Dragon in Nine Days!”

Pushing off, Zhang Ruochen flew into the sky. He hit out two hand prints again, performing the tenth palm of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm. He unleashed 42 times the combat power.

His palm transformed into a dragon claw and elephant hoof, falling onto the two Lion Camel Beast Kings. They crashed into the city walls, making them cave in.

Kaboom!

The two Beast Kings fell into the rumble. Countless 10,000-pound rocks buried them. A river of blood flowed out from the jumble of rocks.

The humans almost went dumb with shock from this scene. It was too bloody! It had only been the first clash, but the two Beast Kings were already suppressed and buried under the rocks, bleeding.

Who would believe this if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes?

“Who is he? Is it Xue Wuye, the heir of the Sword Emperor?”

“No, no. He’s cultivated the tenth palm of the Dragon and Elephant Prajna Palm and can suppress a Beast King with his hands. He must be Master Lidi with the golden Buddhist Emperor body.”

“He doesn’t look like a Buddhist monk though.”

Wan Huayu stood in the desert filled with corpses. Her injury had already scabbed over and was no longer bleeding. With troubled eyes, she stared at the lonely but proud figure walking into the city.

“He is the Time and Space Descendant, Zhang Ruochen.”

She remembered now. She’d indeed seen Zhang Ruochen before, but it had been his wanted poster.

“He’s Zhang Ruochen?”

“Ah! I should’ve guessed. I heard many legends about him in my family. Apparently, he won’t lose to Xue Wuye in the Sword Way, won’t lost to Yuan Suihan in Spiritual Power talent, and his Five Elements Chaotic Body won’t lose to Master Lidi’s Undying Golden Body. He has the strong points of the three top Heirs and also the powers of time and space. He’s the top human figure since the middle ages.”

This came from a beautiful woman. She looked up to Zhang Ruochen and had gotten a lot of information about him from various sources. Now that she saw him, she wasn’t disappointed at all. Zhang Ruochen was as handsome as she’d imagined and his combat ability was shocking too. He could suppress a Beast King with his bare hands. This excited her greatly.

“Zhang Ruochen had risked his life and entered the netherworld to save his master, Sword Saint Xuanji, by finding the pill of resurrection. He really values relationships.”

“He once used the stone tablet from the Thousand-bone Empress to block the way to the netherworld, stopping the dead spirits from entering. He saved millions of humans. I don’t understand why the Empress wants to arrest him.”

The young woman looked toward Yingsha City and sighed. She thought it was unfair to Zhang Ruochen.

Kaboom!

The two Lion Camel Beast Kings stood back up from within the rocks. They had very strong vitality. They didn’t die from Zhang Ruochen’s full-power strike. However, they both had palm-sized holes in their stomachs and were still bleeding.

“I wasn’t being serious before. Let us fight again.”

“Attack with our ancestral weapons. We must kill him.”

The two Beast Kings knew that this young man was very strong and they were both injured. Thus, they each spat out a round stone disc. It was only 90 feet long, but it was extraordinarily heavy and radiated with an eerie bloody light.

The two discs stacked atop each other. Squiggly runes appeared on the surface and a huge savage power rushed out. It felt ancient, aged, and more aggressive than the Destruction of the Thousand Patterns.

Zhang Ruochen stopped walking. His expression unchanging, he waved an arm and cut down before him. He formed a long spatial crack.

The ancient power bursting from the stone disc crashed into the spatial crack and immediately disappeared without hurting Zhang Ruochen.

The two Lion Camel Beast Kings realized something was wrong. They’d really ran into a cruel figure today. He could tear apart the space without using saintly power. He could even control the broken space to some aspect.

Even the ancestral weapon couldn’t dominate him.

Whoosh!

At some point, the cruel figure had teleported to behind them. The two Beast Kings were very alert. They immediately controlled the stone disc to attack the human again. They didn’t believe that he could block the ancient force every time.

However, Zhang Ruochen’s attack arrived first.

“Die!”

The Abyss Ancient Sword flew out with a trail of black light. It struck one Beast King’s stomach. It pierced the scales and the sword light stretched up to its back.

With a poof, the Beast King’s body was split apart. The left and right halves fell to the ground heavily.

The other Beast King realized it couldn’t defeat this cruel human. Even escaping was difficult, so it roared, “You killed my companion… How dare you… Human, you are dead!”

Without hesitating, it used an ancient spell. It activated all the Holy Qi within it, directing it to its Sea of Qi. It was going to explode its Sea of Qi in a suicide attack.

Zhang Ruochen sensed the extreme danger. All his hair stood up straight. However, he didn’t panic. He chose decisively to activate the Abyss Ancient Sword, and stabbed at the Beast King’s Sea of Qi.

Whoosh!

The Abyss Ancient Sword spun quickly with a grating noise. Finally, it pierced the Sea of Qi before the Beast King could do so.

With a huge boom, wild Holy Qi flooded out of the Sea of Qi. It crashed around, forming pillars of light. The Beast King’s physical body exploded. The huge mountain-like body still fell in the end.

After performing the sword technique, Zhang Ruochen immediately flew backward to avoid the Beast King’s last desperate attempt.

The previous situation had been extremely dangerous. If Zhang Ruochen had hesitated a tiny bit, he wouldn’t be able to retreat unhurt like this.

Whoosh!

The Abyss Ancient Sword flew back, piercing the stone disc in the air.

The stone disc was very big. It was an ancestral weapon of the Lion Camel Race and had a weapon spirit. Even the Abyss Ancient Sword had to take some time to repress and refine it.

After absorbing the stone disc’s savage and ancient Qi, it glowed brightly. Sword Qi flew into the air, scaring all the surrounding beasts and making them run into the city.

It was too terrifying. A dominating human had appeared, killing two Beast Kings in a row.

A large group of humans had retreated into the center of Yingsha City. They’d activated the last level of the defensive formation and were struggling to survive.

All the Beast Kings were gathered there. They led countless savage beasts to attack the last defensive formation wildly. If they could penetrate it, then all the humans would die.

This battle also had a far-reaching effect for the humans. It determined the fate of humanity for the coming centuries. If they all died, there would be an obvious difference in abilities of the future strong human cultivators.
