Slaughter Duel, First Appearance
"Mr. Seven Seven Eight Eight, let's go. Ahead lies the heart of the Slaughter City, the Hell Slaughter Arena," the Woman in Black Veil walking beside Su He said calmly.
Su He nodded, and led by the Woman in Black Veil, the two arrived in front of a circular building.
Although it is described as a circular building, Su He felt it resembled a pyramid with its top sawn off, giving it a cone-like shape.
The area is largest at the bottom, and decreases as the height increases.
This Slaughter City is quite large, almost the same size as the Heaven Dou Imperial City's Great Soul Arena where Su He once spent some time, only slightly smaller.
The location of this Hell Slaughter Arena is at the very center of the Slaughter City, which shows its great importance.
"Could you please explain the rules of fighting in this arena?"
Su He planned to go in and fight, but she needed to understand the rules beforehand to avoid any unforeseen complications.
"Of course you can. The rules for fighting here are very simple: ten people per match, and only one person survives. No matter what methods or means you use, as long as you are the last one alive, you are the final winner."
The Woman in Black Veil spoke indifferently, and even though Su He had read about this scene in the book, she still felt terrified.
A one-in-ten survival rate—no wonder it's the heart of this sinful city.
"As I said before, there is only one way to leave this Slaughter City: become the champion of the Hell Slaughter Arena and then challenge the Road to Hell. The way to become the champion is very simple: get one hundred wins in the Hell Slaughter Arena," the Woman in Black Veil continued.
"But don't think a hundred wins is a small number. The current number one ranked player in this First Killing Arena only has sixty-two wins. And he has been in the Slaughter City for a full fifteen years."
"Oh, I see," Su He said casually, though she had something else on her mind that she didn't say aloud.
"He's really lame."
Hearing the Woman in Black Veil say this, Su He was not afraid. Although she could not use her Soul Skill, Su He was very confident in her current defensive capabilities.
It just means you can't use Soul Ring, not that you can't use Soul Bone.
Leaving aside the offensive aspects, Sky-Rending Dreadclaw and the Radiant Golden Tiger Roar Flash are extremely powerful offensive Soul Skill. Let's just talk about the defensive aspects.
When truly in danger, once the Soul Bone Skill Mountain Mist Sacred Body is activated, I am invincible and you can do whatever you want.
Her Adamant Qi abilities, including those related to darkness and evil, are still usable, and the Power of Heaven Annihilation is also genuinely still usable; however, Su He doesn't want to be so ostentatious.
Using the power of the God King of Destruction on the territory of the Asura God King would only lead to unforeseen complications; wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Two offensive, Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, one god-level defensive torso bone, and the External Soul Bone, the Radiant Crystal Wings, so that if you can't win, you can fly away.
Su He really didn't know how she lost.
It can be said that in this Slaughter City, unless that old bastard Tang Chen can completely eliminate the Blood Bat King parasitizing his body, no one can break Su He's shield.
This reminded Su He of a line that was very entertaining to say.
"Because I'm so afraid of pain, I maxed out my defense!"
Su He glanced at the viewing fee for the Hell Slaughter Arena; it was a Bloody Mary.
He blinked, grabbed a man holding Bloody Mary, and pierced his chest with the claws of the Abyssal Golden Lion.
"Can I borrow your things for a moment? Thank you," Su He said to the corpse with its eyes wide open.
"Mr. Seven Seven Eight Eight! Don't blame me for not warning you, but you won't get my protection if you take the initiative to attack others!" The Woman in Black Veil said to Su He with some anger, but the latter nodded noncommittally, completely ignoring her warning.
Watching their Bloody Mary being taken away and dumped into a huge container, the two entered the Hell Slaughter Arena and found a place to sit down.
The decorations here are quite simple; there are no seats in the stands, only tiers of stone steps.
The arena was rather empty, probably because there weren't any star players worth watching in this first killing arena, and the attendance rate was only about 30%.
With the referee's command, the killing show officially began. Among the ten people, two targeted the other. One feigned an attack while the other launched a sneak attack, quickly eliminating one enemy. Then, the two who had just cooperated began to fight each other again.
Such is the rule of the Slaughter City: here, everyone is an enemy, and there are no friends whatsoever.
Even in the Slaughter City, so-called romantic relationships are extremely unreliable; a partner who was just lying next to you may very well turn into a deadly assassin.
Before long, the winner among the ten contestants was decided. The victor was a burly man covered in wounds. He raised his weapon and cheered wildly, but just as he was leaving the arena, a long sword severed his head.
"After exhausting yourself to survive the Hell Slaughter Arena, you'll still face attacks from outside," the Woman in Black Veil said slowly, looking at Su He. "The Hell Slaughter Arena isn't as shallow as you think, Mr. Seven Seven Eight Eight. I suggest you reconsider."
"No need, thank you for your kindness, ma'am." Su He smiled and declined the Slaughter Emissary's suggestion. "Please help me register; I want to participate in the next Hell Arena."
After saying that, Su He gave her token to the Woman in Black Veil. The woman didn't say anything more and took the token to help Su He register.
She could sense that Su He was completely different from those Fallen One; she seemed more like someone who had come here for training.
He was well-dressed, had impeccable manners, possessed a good temperament, and most importantly, was incredibly capable.
Unbeknownst to Su He, his completely out-of-place characteristics compared to those Fallen One had also caught the attention of the King of Slaughter.
About half an hour later, Su He heard the Hell Slaughter Arena calling her name, and knew that the killing show was about to begin.
"Good luck, Mr. Seven Seven Eight Eight."
The woman in the black dress greeted Su He and then left. Su He had signed up for the Hell Slaughter Arena, which meant she had given up the twelve-hour protection period for newcomers in advance, so the woman had no obligation to continue following Su He.
Upon arriving at the killing arena, Su He sized up her opponents.
They were all ruthless thugs with fierce expressions. At this moment, all nine of them were staring at each other with ill intentions. Then, as if they thought Su He looked the easiest to bully, they all turned their gazes to Su He.
Su He looked at the nine Fallen One and sneered.
The carnage has begun.
