1079 Like Hell

"After I've practiced the Tenth Palm, Dragon Swims in the Heavens, to its utmost, I can increase the attack to 42 times. If I could enter the next level, the power might be even stronger."

Zhang Ruochen looked at his palm contentedly.

Refining the Divine Dew of Sun Essence didn't elevate Zhang Ruochen to the next state, but helped him to crack the 36 apertures in his waist and organs unexpectedly.

Zhang Ruochen planned to exercise the 36 apertures in his legs to speed up his practice.

But now, he could exercise the 36 apertures in the waist and organs first. In this way, his body would become even stronger.

Blackie had refined the Seventh Class Divine Origin Pills and given one pill to Zhang Ruochen in person.

And it took some of the Divine Dew away, claiming to use it and the Holy Flowers to refine a special kind of pill.

"Should I refine my body now, or improve my state?"

It took a great amount of time to sanctify 36 apertures.

At last, Zhang Ruochen chose to take the Seventh Class Divine Origin Pills in. Once he could crack his state, his power would increase greatly. And he could spend less time doing it.

It went well. Zhang Ruochen spent a few days to reach the Seventh Level Half-Saint.

Zhang Ruochen stood up. The skin of his face, neck and both hands all gave out seven-colored brilliance. Strong strands of Holy Qi flowed in his pores.

"Is my current cultivation stronger than those on the Half-Saint Rank?"

Zhang Ruochen waved his arm slightly. Crack was heard in the air. Fire spread up like snakes.

He concentrated on practicing his palm plays and comprehending the newly-reached strong state, standing at the foot of the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree.

Things were different in the Yingsha City.

It had been three days. Gu Linfeng didn't show up as they all expected. Thousands of human monks still kneeled outside the city.

Because of the strong wind, half of their bodies were covered by the yellow sand.

"Gu Linfeng won't show up. They are dead," a young monk sighed.

Thousands of humans were going to be eaten by savage beasts, but they couldn't save them. The thought of it was heartbreaking.

A beast king took its human shape, standing outside the city.

Its real body was a red-eyed river deer. After it turned into the human figure, it looked contemptible and unsightly. It was short. And long hair grew on its head and chest.

River Deer Beast King sneered. "The so-called Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect is a coward who dares to say big words but dares not to do it. Lord Demonic Dragon only asked him to kneel and admit his fault, and didn't ask for his life. But he dares not to come. What a coward!"

Other beast kings all turned into human shapes and laughed loudly.

A female beast king in black clothing sighed. "It's reasonable that the Son of Deity dares not to come. But among tens of thousands of human monks inside the Yingsha City, no one came out. What does it mean?"

"The human race is petty and low. They are indifferent and selfish. They bully the weak and fear the strong. They have no balls and deserve to be killed," said another beast king.

It got closer to noon.

The sun in the sky was heating the ground like an oven.

Some of the beast kings scolded Gu Linfeng, some degraded human monks with irony.

Some human monks couldn't bear such humiliation and rushed out of the Yingsha City, wanting to fight the savage beasts outside the city.

But the minute they stepped out of the gate, they were vanquished and left in blood.

Their bodies were dragged away and thrown into the beast crowds. Soon, they were eaten up.

Outside the Yingsha City, there were more than 20 beast kings. Each was very powerful. Fighting them would mean suicide.

The morale of the monks inside the city was low. Some strong monks bore the shame as they didn't want to die in vain.

Other monks were beaten, feeling extremely scared for the savage beasts.

If there were any Void World Ships, they would already get on board to go back to the Kunlun's Field. They would hide in the First Central Empire and never want to fight the savage beasts again.

Those beast kings intended to provoke those human monks, destroying their willpower.

Ahhh!

The real body of the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon came and flew above the clouds. Its giant body released extremely terrible Qi. With just a dragon roar, some human monks in the city were scared enough to shudder.

Compared with three days ago, the Qi of it became much stronger. Apparently, its cultivation had improved.

The Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon said in a low voice, "Time's up. The Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect didn't come and kneel before me. Now you can select 1000 human monks and eat them."

Cheers were heard among the savage beasts.

And the cries and begs of human monks sounded as well.

"Please leave me alone. I can be your slave from now on. I can do everything you want me to do…"

"I don't wanna die. Help me!"

…

After being humiliated, beat and scolded by the savage beasts for three days, some of the human monks had been pushed to the edge of breakdown.

At this moment, they finally threw their dignity away, kneeled on the ground and begged those savage beasts in order to buy a chance to survive.

Of course, some determined monks were neither haughty nor humble, treating death with ease and appearing to be calm.

The weaker the human monks looked, the sooner they were picked by the savage beasts.

They didn't eat them immediately, but let them kneel and beg and cry deliberately, laughing at them with contempt.

A fluffy hand of River Deer Beast King patted on the head of a young monk. It looked to Yingsha City, and laughed. "Haha! Humans inside the city, look at this! Your man kneels on the ground, begging me to take him as a slave. Should I take him?"

Monks in the Yinsha City were furious.

Boom.

A white saint sword rushed out from the gate, and hit River Deer Beast King like a shooting light.

River Deer Beast King changed his face and dodged immediately.

Puff.

But the sword was still quick enough to have gone through his right shoulder and wounded it badly.

One of the Nine Heirs, Beigong Lan dashed out from the Yingsha City. She took the saint word and chopped River Deer Beast King again. With formidable strength, she chopped its body in two.

Beigong Lan had met great opportunities recently. Her cultivation climbed up, and she now had the power to chop the beast kings.

The death of a beast king enraged all savage beasts.

Five beast kings attacked Beigong Lan together, wanting to kill her.

Killing an Heir was their true intention.

Beigong Lan was severely hurt in just a short time. Her green cloth was soaked in blood. Each step she made would leave a bloody footstep on the ground.

At last, Chi Wansui came out from the Yingsha City to rescue her.

But Chi Wansui was hit by the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon, and was hurt more severely than Beigong Lan. He kept spitting blood after they returned to the Yingsha City.

Killing a beast king didn't cheer humans up.

On the contrary, the two Heirs being severely wounded had thrown all human monks into desperation.

Outside the city, endless screams were heard. All 1000 human monks were eaten alive. The whole ground had become red.

Some of the savage beasts licked the blood on the ground.

The scene was more horrible than hell.

Sun Dadi stood afar, watching the 1000 human monks being eaten by savage beasts like animals, and he was enraged enough to tremble.

He wanted to kill them, but he was stopped by Huang Yanchen.

"Why do you stop me?" Sun Dadi shouted with bloodshot eyes.

"The two Heirs almost died. You would also die in vain if you rushed there," Huang Yanchen said peacefully without a blink.

"How can you be so indifferent? I will go to my lord. He surely has a way."

Sun Dadi pinched his hands, and all veins on his body bulged. He held his anger and rushed out.

He connected to Blackie and entered the Scroll World. He found Zhang Ruochen practicing palm play under the Divine Sky-Connecting Tree.

After Sun Dadi told the story, Zhang Ruochen appeared to be calm like Huang Yanchen. He nodded, and said, "Is that all?"

Sun Dadi said, "Don't you want to rescue them? We are all human monks and they are bullied like that. How can you stand it?"

Zhang Ruochen stared at Sun Dadi's eyes and exhaled a long breath. He said, "Rescue them? How can I rescue them? You want me to kneel in front of the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon and say that I was wrong. Do think that in this way, it would let the human monks go? It's not that I don't want to rescue them, but I can't."

Sun Dadi gave it a careful thought and bit his teeth. "Let's fight them. Killing one would be a tie. Killing two would be our win."

Zhang Ruochen shook his head, and said, "Since the Sky-swallowing Demonic Dragon dares to set it up, it has prepared well. Anyone who came to it would die. It was mere luck that Beigong Lan and Chi Wansui could survive from it."

"What should we do then? Watch them being eaten alive by those savage beasts? I can't do it. If you won't go, I'll go myself. I deserve to be killed in the battlefield."

Determination appeared in Sun Dadi's eyes. He grasped his iron stick and turned around to leave the Scroll World.

Bang!

Zhang Ruochen sighed and hit the top of his head across the space with a palm. The power gushed out and shook him. He fainted and fell on the ground.

Letting him leave would be to let him die.

Meanwhile, Blackie sent a message to Zhang Ruochen. "The pretty princess of the Wan Family comes to visit you again. Do you want to see her?"

Zhang Ruochen knew why Wan Huayu wanted to see him. He thought about it and finally took Sun Dadi, who had passed out, and walked out of the Scroll World to meet her.
