Chapter 1009

Zi Chen stood in the air. His body was covered in blood, and his killing intent was monstrous. He had become extremely crazy, like a dangerous beast.

He had killed more than a dozen late-stage demons. This battle strength had undoubtedly shocked everyone. The humans were excited and their blood was boiling. However, they felt pity in their hearts. With such a powerful battle strength, once he grew up, he would definitely be the demon race's nightmare. Unfortunately, he was going to die in this internal strife.

Some people were angry and shouted to open the city gate, but they didn't dare to force too much. After all, the Jin family was a huge existence. It was extremely unwise to offend a family for Zi Chen, whom they didn't know well.

Shangguan Yue 'er and the others quickly rushed to Zi Chen. Seeing the wounds on Zi Chen's body, Shangguan Yue' er burst into tears.

During this period, the demon race didn't continue to send people to fight.

"Human, I'll give you a choice." The Earth Yuan Realm demon suddenly spoke.

Zi Chen looked at the demon.

The demon looked up at Heaven's Pride City and said, "Anyway, you can't stay in the human race anymore. They want you dead. I invite you to join our demon race and become one of us."

Zi Chen sneered, and the killing intent in his eyes didn't diminish.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. Think about it. These people should be your friends. They are willing to follow you. I think you are a righteous person. You can't just watch them die. Join us. Not only can you live, but so can your friends."

Zi Chen's expression changed, and the killing intent in his eyes disappeared. Next to him, Shangguan Yue 'er held Zi Chen's hand and shook her head.

"Zi Chen, please don't."

"Even if we die, we won't join the demon race. Otherwise, we will really become traitors like that villain said."

Zhang Ming and the others also said loudly. They were extremely unyielding.

The conversation here was very loud, and it was completely done using essence force. The people in Heaven's Pride City could also hear it. The first to have a change in expression was the Jin Clan's spiritual body. He didn't expect the Demon Race to be so different. Zi Chen had killed so many of their experts, and not only did they not take revenge, they even wanted to recruit him.

If Zi Chen didn't die today, he would definitely find trouble with him in the future. This was a great enemy, a great enemy. Once Zi Chen intercepted him, he would die without a doubt.

Beside the Jin Family's spiritual body, the other three people's faces also turned pale.

On the other hand, the others were somewhat conflicted after hearing this. They wanted Zi Chen to live, but they also didn't want Zi Chen to join the demon race.

Under the signal of the Jin Clan's spiritual body, Lu Jie poked his head out of the city and said to Zi Chen, "Traitor, hurry up and join the Demon Race. Stop acting here."

"Haha, the show is finally over."

"Let's go. We already knew that you were in cahoots with the Demon Race. Don't be so hypocritical."

Lu Jie and the other two shouted loudly. The people around them were angry, but they didn't dare to say anything.

Zhang Ming and the others were furious, but at this moment, it was obviously not the time to argue with these despicable people. These despicable people without any stance would not be able to achieve anything great. Without any backbone, their strength would naturally not be strong enough. Anyone of the people here could kill them.

Zi Chen ignored these people's clamoring. He looked at the Earth Origin Realm expert and said, "I will die. Let them go."

"Haha."

The Demon Race expert laughed, "That's impossible. Join us or die. Don't worry, the Demon Race will not mistreat you. If you join us, you will be my right-hand man, not my subordinate. I will give you an army of the Demon Race. Other than the Earth Origin Realm experts, you can choose any one of them. Then, you can lead this army and trample the human race."

Seeing that Zi Chen was about to refuse, the Demon Race expert said, "I know you care a lot about your identity as a human. Don't worry, I will not force you to kill all humans. You only need to lead this army and kill those you think should be killed. For example, the aristocratic families represented by the one above."

As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.

The Demon Race was shocked because the Demon Race expert said that he would make Zi Chen an Earth Origin Realm expert's assistant, not his subordinate. The humans were shocked because Zi Chen could lead an army of the Demon Race. Obviously, with this army, Zi Chen could turn around and attack Heaven's Pride City and the Jin Family.

Jin Family's Spiritual Body's expression changed, and the other three were so scared that their faces were drained of blood. Lu Jie shouted again in a flustered voice, "Zi Chen, you traitor, quickly join the Demon Race and lead the Demon Race's army to attack the humans."

"Haha, a human leading the Demon Race army to kill the humans. How ridiculous. Thousands of years later, when the Demon Race is driven out, your name, Zi Chen, will be recorded in history as the first human to lead an alien race to kill his own people."

Zhang Ming turned his head. His face was twisted with anger. He pointed at Lu Jie's nose and cursed, "You are not even human scum. You are not even human scum."

Lu Jie said firmly, "We are indeed not human scum, but we did not collude with the alien race. We did not attack our own people."

"Bullsh * t, then why don't you open the city gate?"

Lu Jie said disdainfully, "Colluding with the alien race? What right do you have to ask us to open the city gate for you?"

Zhang Ming was trembling with anger. The other two were the same.

The Demon Race experts were just watching the show. They had to admit that the humans were really eloquent. They could turn black into white. Every word was reasonable.

Zi Chen was also in a mess. He was very tempted by the Demon Race's offer. It was not that they wanted him to take revenge. He did not care about that. On the contrary, he cared about his friends.

Zhang Haotian, Shangguan Yue 'er, Zhang Ming, and the others. The former was his brother, and the latter was his wife. As for Zhang Ming and the others, they were also hot-blooded warriors. There were so many people in Heaven's Pride City, but only a few of them could come out. Zi Chen would feel guilty if he let them die with him.

Just as Zi Chen was hesitating, Shangguan Yue 'er pulled Zi Chen's hand and said firmly, "I will not follow you to join the Demon Race, even if I die. If you want to go, I will die in front of you."

Zhang Haotian stepped forward and said, "Me too. Humans are hateful, but only a few. If we really join the Demon Race, I am afraid we will have to kill too many innocent people in the future."

Zhang Ming and the other two stepped forward, "This is our position, this is righteousness. It has nothing to do with internal strife. The three of us will definitely not join the Demon Race, and we will definitely not extend our butcher's knife to other innocent humans."

The Demon Race expert's expression changed.

Zi Chen, who was still hesitating, suddenly became determined. He looked at the Demon Race expert and said word by word, "I will not join the Demon Race. Not now, not in the future. The Demon Race and humans are mortal enemies. We will not rest until one of us is dead."

The Demon Race expert was angry, "You are not afraid that I will kill you. After you die, they will still call you a traitor. They will still not accept your kindness."

Zi Chen suddenly smiled, "You are wrong. I refuse not because I value or care about anything. I only pursue my heart."

"Pursue your heart? You really think I don't dare to kill you?" The Demon Race expert's eyes were filled with killing intent.

"Haha, pursue your heart. I like this sentence."

A voice suddenly rang out in the sky. It was a voice that Zi Chen was very familiar with.

"Yes." The Demon Race expert frowned and looked at the sky.

The sky suddenly split open, and a huge black hole appeared. This black hole was a transmission channel, and a figure walked out. It was a man in golden clothes. He was extremely handsome, and as he walked, golden light surged. Everyone's eyes immediately fell on this person, and then a word appeared in their hearts: "Perfect."

This was an extremely perfect person without any flaws, whether it was his figure or appearance. He had a smile on his face, and coupled with those perfect eyes, many people were dazed.

Of course, only the women were dazed. All the men who saw this face would have an inexplicable flame in their hearts, and they would want to smash his nose with their fists.

"It's you." Zi Chen raised his head and looked at the newcomer, a trace of surprise on his face.

"Of course it's me, but other than me, there is also us." The golden-robed man smiled.

"Us?" Zi Chen's face was filled with doubt.

The golden-robed man landed and walked in front of Zi Chen. He did not look at Zi Chen, but instead looked at Shangguan Yue 'er. His eyes flashed, and then he stretched out his hand and smiled, "Beauty, nice to meet you. I am the Perfect Body."

Seeing that the man ignored him, Zi Chen had the urge to kick him. The Perfect Body thought that he was cool, but it scared Shangguan Yue 'er. She took a step back and looked at him as if she was guarding against a wolf.

Rays of light flashed at this moment, and waves of powerful aura appeared from the channel and descended around Zi Chen. These were all auras of the Mortal Realm. Zi Chen could clearly sense that there were early, middle, and late stages of the Mortal Realm.

The descending figures all had a very common characteristic, which was that they were all tall and strong, comparable to a big bear.

Among them, there were also some familiar figures, such as the few body cultivators he had seen in the Heavenly Book World, and the expert called Li Xiong who had appeared with Gu Xiude in the world of the Devil Ape.

In an instant, the number of Mortal Realm cultivators here exceeded a hundred, and they were all body cultivators.

This sudden change stunned everyone, especially the humans above Heaven's Pride City. However, after being stunned, they cheered because so many people had come to help Zi Chen. Zi Chen was saved.

The Jin family's spiritual body's face turned pale at this moment. The other three people were so frightened that they almost collapsed to the ground.

"Why are you here?" Zi Chen asked, refocusing the Perfect Body's attention on him.

The Perfect Body said, "If I said that I came here specifically to save you, would you believe me?"

Zi Chen curled his lips, but it affected his wound. He grimaced and had a strange expression.

"I know you don't believe me. How would we know that you were here and still alive?"

"Then why are you here today?"

The Perfect Body's expression suddenly turned cold. "Humph, all the major factions have retreated with their experts. We are here to take back Heaven's Pride City and specifically resist the Fiends. This bunch of idiots didn't leave completely after leaving. They actually left behind scum who nearly caused the death of a capable warrior."
