Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 306 More Beastly than a Beast!

"Enough!"

"How audacious!"

From the front rows, several angry roars erupted at once. The terrifying pressure waves coalesced into solid, monstrous faces that rushed toward Ning Xuan. How could a lowly Human Slave dare to roar in this place? Who gave him the courage?!

"Enough, my ass!"

As Zhongli Ruoruo threw a punch, her voice thundered.

BANG!

The solidified faces shattered, but Zhongli Ruoruo's fist continued onward, unabated. Like Ning Xuan, she was overcome with fury. This punch, fueled by her rage, even surpassed the power of a Peak King Realm expert!

However, a beast on the opposite side of the arena, facing Zhongli Ruoruo's attack, had no intention of lifting a finger. Instead, it indifferently ordered, "Human Slave Number Seven, block her!"

It was actually ordering the human fighting in the arena to intercept Zhongli Ruoruo on its behalf!

The tattered man, with the word 'slave' branded on his forehead and the number 'seven' seared onto his chin, had anger and pain flash through his eyes. But the next moment, his expression turned to pure resolve. He stomped his foot and charged forward, spreading his arms and opening his mouth in a silent roar. His eyes, fixed on Ning Xuan and Zhongli Ruoruo, were full of hope.

Zhongli Ruoruo was horrified, as it was already too late to retract her punch!

At that very moment, Ning Xuan vanished.

BOOM!

High above the arena, a beast was sent flying, crashing through several long benches. This was because Zhongli Ruoruo's assault hadn't been intercepted. The beast, having taken the blow unprepared, had suffered greatly. It scrambled to its feet as fast as it could and pointed at Zhongli Ruoruo in a rage. "Get her! Take down that wretched wench!"

Then, its gaze shifted down into the arena.

There, Human Slave Number Seven, who had been preparing to block Zhongli Ruoruo's attack with his own body, stood completely unharmed. By his side stood another person: Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan withdrew his gaze from the man's slightly open mouth. He then swept his eyes over the entire audience and said softly, "Today, if I don't kill every last one of you, my name isn't Ning Xuan."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached every corner of the venue with unshakable determination.

These beasts' actions are appalling! They even tore out the humans' tongues!

Many of the bipedal beasts tensed up. Others, seated high above, simply burst into laughter upon hearing his words.

"Hahaha, what did I just hear?!"

"Kill all of us? Oh, I'm so scared!"

"Do you know who the last person to be so arrogant was? It was Number Seven, right beside you!"

"Humans should know their place! Just focus on being a good Human Slave!"

His response was a massacre.

"Ruoruo, help me skin them!" Ning Xuan called out from above. As he spoke, the corpses of several beasts were thrown down into the arena.

Zhongli Ruoruo didn't even bother with the beasts charging at her, landing directly in the center of the arena.

Just then, a series of sharp CLACKS echoed. Strange metallic bars extended from above, intending to seal Zhongli Ruoruo and the other humans below. The bipedal beasts hadn't anticipated Ning Xuan's ferocity, or they would have activated the barrier much sooner. Since they couldn't seal Ning Xuan, sealing his companion would achieve the same effect.

The humans in the arena panicked, gesturing wildly for Zhongli Ruoruo to leave quickly.

Zhongli Ruoruo understood instantly. She glanced up, completely calm, and even smiled reassuringly at them. "It's okay. They're just a bunch of beasts; they can't do anything to me. I'll stay here with you."

After speaking, she went back to the task Ning Xuan had given her. To her, Ning Xuan was her entire world. As long as he was there, nothing could contain her.

The other humans exchanged a glance, then silently began to help. Their hands trembled. The human skins these beasts wore had belonged to people they once knew.

CRACK!

A crisp sound echoed as the bars sealed shut. The humans flinched but silently continued their work.

Soon, they heard the heavy THUDS of bodies slamming against the bars, one after another—the sound of beast after beast being annihilated.

Hope rose in their eyes, only to be instantly replaced by horror as they heard the grating sound of a nearby gate opening.

The next moment, without needing to exchange a single glance, they all moved. They formed a protective circle around Zhongli Ruoruo, their backs facing outward, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"Heh, you think they're your saviors?" a youthful-looking beast sneered. He glanced up at Ning Xuan's slaughter before his face broke into a wide grin. In Tianyang, they had little else, but their numbers were vast. Reproduction had always been their strong suit. Any of them weak enough to be killed by a mere human, in fact, had no right to exist.

"I'll give you a chance," the youth said, his gaze returning to the humans, his face full of cruel amusement. "Capture her, and I'll forgive your transgressions."

No one moved.

Just then, Zhongli Ruoruo stood up, her delicate brows knitted together. "You... you're human?!"

This youth's facial expressions were far too nuanced and rich compared to the other beasts they'd encountered, whose faces were always stiff.

"Bitch, shut up! I am no lowly member of the Human Race! I am Gou Jianhong! My father is the greatest king of the Lycaon Tribe!" the young man roared furiously.

Zhongli Ruoruo pushed past the others to stand before Gou Jianhong, her face like ice. "Your mother was from the Human Race, wasn't she? To recognize a monster as your father... you're even more of a beast than they are!"

"Bitch, are you still living in a dream? Look around you! This is a new world! It was a privilege for that bitch to be favored by my father, the king!" Gou Jianhong had no concept of honor or shame, openly calling his own mother a bitch.

Zhongli Ruoruo's beautiful eyes widened, her entire worldview turned upside down. She had never encountered such a brazenly shameless person.

Wrong! Gou Jianhong doesn't even deserve to be called human!

Zhongli Ruoruo looked up. Ning Xuan had already fought his way from behind to a position just above and in front of her. His eyes were full of tenderness.

She immediately ignored Gou Jianhong, turning to continue her unfinished task.

From behind, a cold snort sounded. Two beasts standing behind Gou Jianhong lunged. Just as the other humans moved to intercept, Zhongli Ruoruo vanished. The two beasts were sent flying backward. A slender hand suddenly appeared beside Gou Jianhong, swinging a slap toward his face. She had noticed the two beasts behind him long ago; her earlier turn had just been a feint to lure them in.

But the slap missed. Gou Jianhong was incredibly fast; he vanished in a blur before Zhongli Ruoruo's eyes.

Her hair stood on end. With a sharp cry, she charged, spun, and struck—all in one fluid motion.

In the spot where she had just stood, Gou Jianhong appeared, spreading his claws and exhaling a breath that sent a few of her severed locks of hair floating into the air. As he did, he shot her a provocative look.

Zhongli Ruoruo wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, her face broke into a smile of realization. "I was wondering why you kept your hands hidden. Turns out you've got a pair of dog paws. Aren't you proud of being the son of the Lycaon Tribe's king? Why would you hide—"

"You wretch, shut up!"

Enraged and humiliated once more, Gou Jianhong's hair whipped about wildly.
