Tang San Was Stunned

"Su Cheng?!"

Just as Su Cheng was pulling Zhu Zhuqing along, preparing to set off again, a furious shout suddenly rang out from not far away.

At the other end of the street, Tang San glared at them with eyes wide with fury.

Then, he noticed their hands clasped tightly together, and his face instantly filled with disbelief.

"You... you guys?!"

The mortal enemy in his mind, comparable to Qian Renxue of the Spirit Hall, and his former classmate Zhu Zhuqing, whom he originally planned to develop into a potential comrade-in-arms, were now walking hand in hand intimately in the Inner City of the Slaughter City.

Not only that, Tang San even saw a look of embarrassment and annoyance on Zhu Zhuqing's cool and beautiful face that he had never seen before. Even during the years he spent studying at the Shrek Academy, he had never seen such an expression on her face.

The two looked exactly like a young couple who had just had a fight.

The scene was so dreamlike that he couldn't process it for a moment, and his mind went blank for a brief instant.

After a moment, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing in astonishment and said in a trembling voice, "Zhu Zhuqing, you?!"

Tang San's eyes were slightly cold.

My mind raced, but I still couldn't figure out why this was happening.

In his mind, the two should have had absolutely no connection.

Why are you with him?

Zhu Zhuqing raised an eyebrow, but was too lazy to say anything more.

She was thinking about other things and didn't have time to pay attention to Tang San.

Seeing her so indifferent to him, Tang San felt a surge of anger.

Memories of Zhu Zhuqing's various behaviors that he disapproved of during his time at the academy resurfaced in his mind.

But he didn't want to completely ruin their relationship before he fully understood the situation of the two people.

Regardless of her background or talent, Zhu Zhuqing has great value, and Tang San is unwilling to give her up easily.

However, this interruption calmed his mind, which was clouded by hatred, down a little.

They turned their attention back to Su Cheng.

"Su Cheng, I heard that you humbly joined the Spirit Hall after the Spirit Master Competition a year ago. How did you end up here?"

His stiff face was filled with a strong sense of mockery, and his originally unremarkable appearance looked even more gloomy.

"The Spirit Hall has always prided itself on justice. Now that such a sinful city exists, harboring countless evils and sheltering a large number of Fallen Ones, it should have been destroyed long ago. But the Spirit Hall turns a blind eye, how laughable. And you, who have joined the Spirit Hall, are nothing but a despicable person."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng glanced at Tang San but ignored him, turning instead to look at Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

"Zhu Zhuqing, do you think what he said makes sense? This place should have been destroyed long ago?"

"A foolish idea."

Zhu Zhuqing frowned and casually replied, somewhat displeased that Su Cheng had interrupted her thoughts.

And to ask yourself this kind of question? Does that mean you think I'm a fool like Tang San?

Evil Spirit Master cannot be eradicated.

Because many people are born Evil Spirit Master.

This may seem unreasonable, but it is actually a harsh truth.

Just like Bibi Dong's evil Second Martial Soul, it will unknowingly erode the mind of the owner during the growth process, and ordinary Soul Master will find it difficult to suppress those evil thoughts.

Not to mention the countless wicked people, the turbulent world, and the ever-present desires and temptations that accompany us on our journey through life.

Without this place as a passageway, providing a refuge for those crazy and evil people, not only would it require more effort to apprehend them, but even more vicious individuals would flood into the community.

At that time, it will only bring greater disaster.

Keeping this Slaughter City and giving them a way out is definitely more beneficial than harmful.

Moreover, as a prison, the security measures here are absolutely adequate.

Once the thugs entered the Slaughter City, they were no longer allowed to leave.

Without the ability to use Soul Skill, it would be virtually impossible to get past the Soul Skill team that does.

The fact that only eight people have left through the Hell Road in the past thousand years is enough to prove the reliability of this place.

This also means that all the Fallen Ones who enter this Slaughter City have only two choices:

One option is to enter the Inner City and regularly engage in life-or-death duels where one out of ten is chosen. At the same time, outside the killing field, one's life is also constantly threatened.

Secondly, they could stay in the Outer City and survive by regularly receiving Bloody Mary, but for those people, enjoyment was simply out of the question.

However, what was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener.

The few simple words Zhu Zhuqing uttered almost made Tang San break down.

He had treated her with sincerity, but this woman was completely ungrateful and associated with that scoundrel Su Cheng. She deserved to die!

Su Cheng glanced at him again, but after thinking for a moment, he didn't explain anything.

He simply smiled and nodded at Tang San, "Hehe, you're right."

He was too lazy to waste his breath on the other party.

For people with a strong sense of justice, their stance is basically determined by right and wrong.

However, if it were someone with normal thinking and logic, they would understand the reasoning behind it even without doing so.

But Tang San is completely different. He always judges right and wrong based on his stance and is convinced that he is on the side of justice.

The Spirit Hall has certainly done many unjust things.

For example, using violent means to suppress hostile forces and using various tricks to disrupt the situation on the mainland.

As the dominant power on the continent, this is inevitable; the power struggles between these forces have always been filled with bloodshed and intrigue.

However, Tang San's firm belief that the Spirit Hall was evil had nothing to do with those actions.

The real reason is that he is hostile to the Spirit Hall faction, which is why the Spirit Hall is evil and should be defeated.

If it's a personal grudge, just say it's a personal grudge. No one is against revenge.

It's truly laughable to insist on elevating this to a higher level, to insist on using the banner of justice.

The Spirit Hall slaughtered Soul Beast. Killing the Blue Silver Emperor was wrong, killing Xiao Wu's mother was evil, and killing Xiao Wu was even more heinous. So, please tell me, where did Tang San get all those Soul Rings?

But there's no need to say more about these things to him.

Whoever has the strongest fist is right; that's the simplest way to solve problems.

After hearing Su Cheng's slightly mocking words and disdainful look.

Tang San's already restless blood energy suddenly began to surge violently, and the blood color in his eyes became even more intense.

Under the influence of the special environment of the Slaughter City, the murderous aura on his body grew rapidly and uncontrollably.

The scene of Xiao Wu's delicate body being pierced by a longsword burning with black flames began to flash repeatedly before my eyes.

He suddenly realized that now was the perfect opportunity!

"Soul Skill cannot be used here. Although that guy has those two extremely strange Self-Created Soul Skill, I have also fully mastered the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, which is invincible in the world, of the Clear Sky Sect in the past year."

"In this place, with the Tang Sect Secret Arts and Hidden Weapon, combined with the deadly poison of the Eight Spider Lances, I have a great chance to defeat him, or even kill him!"

"Although the person who deserves to die the most is Qian Renxue from the Spirit Hall, Su Cheng has been aiding and abetting evil. If we let him go now, he will surely become a great threat in the future."

"Killing Su Cheng here first, and then gradually eradicating the Spirit Hall, this cancer on the Douluo Continent, would be a tremendous benefit for me, for the empire, and for all the people!"

With this thought in mind, Tang San made up his mind and walked forward slowly.

As they walked, they quietly adjusted their own state.

In the Slaughter City, killing is not limited to the Hell Slaughter Arena.

That was merely a battle required by the Slaughter City, and a prerequisite for obtaining the Hell Road entrance ticket.

However, in reality, fighting and killing can occur at any time, whether in the streets, outside the killing field, or even in the small house where one lives.

The Slaughter City never forbids these behaviors.

As she walked forward step by step, she found that Su Cheng did not seem to care about her approaching, nor did he make any defensive moves, and his expression remained calm.

He couldn't help but sneer inwardly at the other person's arrogance.

When Tang San was less than ten meters away from the two, a layer of jade-like color suddenly appeared in his hand. Tang Sect Secret Arts — Xuan Yu Hand!

At the same time, his left foot stomped forward with lightning speed. The Tang Sect Secret Arts — Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!

In this place where Soul Skill cannot be used, his advantages as Tang Sect disciple will be fully utilized.

Then he turned his body, swung his arm out, and raised his fingertips.

The next moment, countless glittering rays of light shot out from Tang San's palm.

Those were gleaming steel needles, their piercing whistling sound instantly echoing throughout this small area.

But that was just an appetizer.

As his body spun rapidly, nine thin, willow-leaf-shaped throwing knives flew out from his body.

The Tang Sect Hidden Weapons throwing techniques rank eighth, with the Phoenix Leads Nine Chicks !

Nine throwing knives, like nine phoenixes flapping their wings and singing, swayed in the air, accompanied by countless Silver Needle shooting towards Su Cheng and his companion.

Su Cheng did not make a move.

There was absolutely no need for him to take action.

A fierce wind howled, and countless wind blades condensed and emerged in an instant, then surrounded the two people.

"Clang—"

The sound of metal clashing, almost tangible, rang out.

Various Hidden Weapon, including Silver Needle and throwing knives, were scattered all over the ground in an instant.

Clearly, compared to Zhu Zhuqing, who had been training here for a year, Tang San, who had just arrived, seemed far too inexperienced.

Regardless of the timing of the attack, the control of the energy, or even the fighting style, it was full of flaws.

Looking at Tang San's pale face, Su Cheng chuckled and said, "A sneak attack?"

His voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

"Su Cheng, there's no need for such high-sounding words." Tang San didn't feel there was anything wrong with his actions, only regretting that he hadn't been able to achieve victory in one strike. "Since you've come to the Slaughter City today, it proves that you already know the rules of this place, so why bother with this pretense?"

"What you said is true." Su Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

He immediately retorted, "But didn't you look down on this place? Why are you going to conform to its rules? Completing the Hell Slaughter Arena challenge isn't enough; you have to resort to sneak attacks outside too? Where did your noble spirit of remaining untainted by the mud go?"

"Why bother with tricks when dealing with someone like you?" Tang San sneered.

He said this aloud, but his heart sank slightly. "What, are you going to hide behind a woman for protection?"

Then he turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, his eyes filled with a complex mix of disappointment and frustration, and sighed, "Zhu Zhuqing, how could you associate with someone like him? Didn't you say he was shameless before?"

Zhu Zhuqing frowned, feeling immediately displeased.

She is aloof and doesn't really care about the opinions of strangers.

However, there were some disagreements regarding Tang San's words.

The other party's intentions were all too obvious; they were simply trying to sow discord.

Their methods were not only low-level, they were practically treating themselves like fools.

Her quiet nature is simply a personality trait; it doesn't mean she's truly devoid of emotional fluctuations, but rather that she's habitually unwilling to express them.

"Shameless?" Su Cheng looked at the beauty beside him in astonishment. "Is that how you describe me?"

"Did I say anything wrong?" Zhu Zhuqing sneered.
