Chapter 434: Preparing for a Raid



Chapter 434: Preparing for a Raid

No matter what the defeated Xuechi was trying to say, Zhang Lie didn\'t care—Xuechi had expended all his body\'s blood in that one blow, and he was no longer a threat.

When the bloodwinged dragon riders in the sky saw how their king lay defeated on the ground, they could hardly believe their eyes. How could their undefeated king have lost to a mere human? How could this be?

Even though they had witnessed the battle for themselves, they weren\'t willing to believe the outcome.

"Could it be true that this man caught the sura king Xueju alive?"

"How could a human be able to fight on the level of a sura king?"

"When did humans become so strong?"

During the battle, the bloodwinged riders realized that the humans within Renhuang were all surprisingly strong in their own right. The bloodwinged dragon riders were elites among the sura, and they were shocked that they were on the losing end of the confrontation against the humans.

Perhaps the humans had all experienced a massive surge in power that they hadn\'t realized...

Seeing their king lose was the last straw. The morale of the bloodwinged riders fell dramatically, whereas those of the citizens of Renhuang rose sharply.

"Kill them! Kill the rest of the sura!" the citizens shouted.

Sensing that the tides were turning against them, the riders yelled ut, "Retreat!"

Those of Renhuang weren\'t about to let the bloodwinged riders go so easily. It was because of their sudden invasion that their celebratory party had turned into a battlefield, and they were very angry at the invaders.

As a result, a scene that no one would ever have expected played out in the second realm: the sura riders ran away, while the citizens of Renhuang gave chase.

Before the riders arrived at Renhuang, they had never expected to be chased by others; they were always the pursuers. However, not only were they unable to take down Renhuang, they were even being chased back to the kingdom of Xuechi.

The crag eagles were extremely speedy flyers, especially after absorbing the gene fragments of the golden rocs. The bloodwinged riders weren\'t able to shake them off their trail.

"No, we can\'t keep running! We won\'t be able to escape from them!" By the time the riders realized the problem, it was already too late. There were only a scant few riders left. If not for Sun Mengmeng calling out for the pursuers to leave one or two alive for questioning, all the riders would have perished.

Zhang Lie walked toward the center of the crater and stared at the sura king who lay within, his body desiccated and drained of blood.

"What an unfortunate death! But don\'t worry—you\'re not the first, and you won\'t be the last."

Xuechi muttered weakly, "You can\'t kill me. My godfather is the monarch of a sura empire."

"Oh? Is that something I should be wary of?"

Xuechi scoffed at the ignorance Zhang Lie displayed. "I suppose no human would know of this. There are tens of thousands of sura kingdoms, and the ones that are visible to the public eye are only the most commonplace of all. There are only about ten sura empires in all, three of which gathered together to attack my godfather\'s territory. Now, they\'ve all been destroyed. Of the remaining, my godfather\'s is the largest and most powerful."

Zhang Lie shook his head. "It looks like you still don\'t understand my words. My question was rhetorical: so what if they\'re strong? If they dare invade Renhuang, I\'ll destroy them all."

Xuechi\'s face morphed with shock. Zhang Lie was a crazy fool!

"A sura empire has a hundred times the forces of a standard sura kingdom!" he warned. "My godfather\'s empire is the strongest of all, and it has at least a thousand times the forces! Furthermore, he\'s the strongest sura below asura-level, and if you kill me, my godfather will surely seek revenge on my behalf. By that point, you and the city behind you will both be annihilated!"

"Let him come, then. I\'m very curious as to whether a sura empire is as strong as you claim." Without any hesitation, Zhang Lie lifted the blade in his hand.

Xuechi suddenly changed his tone completely and began to beg. "Please wait, I\'m wrong, I made a terrible mistake! The only reason I came over here was on my godfather\'s orders, and I bear you and your city no enmity. Please let me go—I\'ll give you anything I can."

"In that case, I\'ll have your brain!" Zhang Lie beheaded the sura king on the spot.

Gripping the sura king\'s head in his hand, Zhang Lie heaved a sigh of relief.

The aerial battle between the bloodwinged riders and the citizens of Renhuang had also ended. None of the sura escaped; most were killed, and a few were captured by Sun Mengmeng.

Zhang Lie walked over to them and asked, "Where did you come from?"

The prideful and arrogant sura refused to speak a word to the human who had defeated their king, and Zhang Lie quickly lost his patience. "If you\'re unwilling to speak, then I\'ll just extract the information from your heads."

He summoned Whitey to devour their souls.

The chief of the Yeluo asked, "What did you learn, Governor?"

Zhang Lie\'s face was dark. "These sura came from a sura kingdom known as Xuechi, one located not too far from Xueju. After the death of the sura king Xueju, Xuechi has slowly expanded its borders into Xueju\'s former territory! Now that they\'ve claimed the borders of Xueju, they\'ll come to Renhuang sooner or later."

In that case, why not take the initiative and attack the kingdom of Xuechi?

Zhang Lie leapt up toward the city walls and infused genetic energy into his voice, which boomed all across the city. "Comrades of Renhuang, our celebration today was interrupted by a sudden invasion from the sura. Are you angry?"

"Yes, we are!" everyone shouted.

"I don\'t intend on taking this insult lying down. If the sura are going to attack my city, I\'ll attack theirs in return. We\'ll let them know with our actions that we won\'t be passive!"

"Yes, Governor!" everyone shouted again.

"In that case, gather up, warriors of Renhuang! Tomorrow morning, we\'ll raid the sura kingdom of Xuechi and claim their land for our own! Before then, however, let\'s feast on the remains of our enemies!"

The bloodwinged dragons that the sura rode were all superior-grade lifeforms, and the sura king\'s bloodwinged dragon was even a peak-grade lifeform. This was high-quality meat that they would surely take advantage of.

Everyone had worked up a sweat from the battle, and they were all hungry again. The bloodwinged dragons were quickly cut apart and added as a specialty ingredient to the celebration. Zhang Lie noticed, to his excitement, that he was already at forty peak gene fragments.

Although the sura invaders had crashed the party, they were happy for the additional food that they had brought along with them.
