Gathering Place of Beasts

Watching the scenes unfold before him, Qin Shiyuan slowly shook his head and chuckled.

"Rather than a paradise of sin, this is more like a world of beasts."

"Heh, the people here are merely venting their desires like animals."

"What difference is there between humans who cannot control their desires and beasts?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Veil Girl beside him suddenly flashed a sharp look in her eyes and said in a low voice.

"Number 9999, are you challenging the authority of the King of Slaughter?"

"If so, the great King of Slaughter will surely erase you from this place!"

"Since you have come here, you can only abide by the rules here!"

Qin Shiyuan curled his lips, glanced at her, and shrugged casually.

He was already an adult; naturally, he could not be bothered to get angry with a minor lackey like this.

"Tch, whatever you say. If you can't stand it, then hurry up and take me to the Hell Slaughter Arena."

"Hmph! Follow me!"

Seeing Qin Shiyuan's flippant manner, the Black Veil Girl spoke coldly, seeming to have developed some killing intent toward him.

Her pace quickened, as though she could not wait to see him die sooner.

Led by the Black Veil Girl, Qin Shiyuan soon spotted a peculiar building.

The building was circular—more precisely, it was an irregular cone.

Its base was the widest, gradually narrowing as it rose.

At around thirty meters above the ground, it maintained the same diameter as it extended upward, all the way to fifty meters.

The Hell Slaughter Arena indeed occupied a considerable area, but compared to Spirit Hall's Great Soul Arena, it was much smaller.

"What are the rules here?"

Qin Shiyuan suddenly turned his head and asked the Black Veil Girl.

Although he had read the original work, he only remembered the general plot.

There was no way he could recall every detail like this.

Though the Black Veil Girl found Qin Shiyuan thoroughly unpleasant, her duty required it, so she still explained coldly.

"It's simple. After entering, use your own Identity Token to register, then wait for the match to begin."

"Remember, fighting is forbidden while you are waiting."

"Each group that enters the Slaughter Arena consists of ten people."

"As for the rules... there are no rules in the Slaughter Arena!"

"No matter what method you use, as long as you are the one who walks out alive, that is enough."

"One last thing: only one person from each group can leave alive. Hehe, I hope you do not die in your very first match."

"Tsk, one survivor out of ten. It really lives up to the City of Slaughter's name."

Qin Shiyuan chuckled twice. With the Black Veil Girl's reminder, the blank spot in his memories finally began to return.

"As long as you win a hundred matches, you can become the champion and enter the Hell Road, right?"

"Hm? You actually know about the Hell Road?"

Hearing Qin Shiyuan's words, the Black Veil Girl's expression froze for a moment.

After all, the Hell Road was the most closely guarded secret of the entire City of Slaughter.

How could a newcomer who had just arrived possibly know about it?

Yet despite her surprise, the Black Veil Girl still did not give Qin Shiyuan a pleasant look.

"As long as you can participate in a hundred matches, you will be the champion."

"However, the person currently ranked first in the Hell Slaughter Arena has only participated in sixty-seven matches."

"As for you? You just got here, so stop thinking so far ahead. First, make sure you can survive."

"Oh."

Qin Shiyuan seemed to have grown accustomed to the Black Veil Girl's tone. Her cold mockery went in one ear and out the other, unable to affect his mood in the slightest.

Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the Slaughter Arena, he suddenly asked teasingly.

"Hey, little lady, want to go in? How about the two of us take a look around?"

Hearing this, the Black Veil Girl seemed to have also grown used to Qin Shiyuan's carefree manner and replied coldly as ever.

"The price of watching is one cup of Yellow Springs Dew. It can be your own, or someone else's."

"Yellow Springs Dew? Oh, you mean human blood, right?"

Qin Shiyuan put on a look of sudden realization, then waved his hand as though it were nothing.

"Human blood? That's easy..."

The moment his words fell, an ancient sword case crashed down from midair.

The eight swords within the case rang out in unison and shot skyward simultaneously without any warning.

Then, in the blink of an eye, agonized screams erupted at eight different positions around the two of them.

A moment later, under the Black Veil Girl's utterly shocked gaze, the eight swords returned to Qin Shiyuan's back almost at the same time.

Along with them came eight figures struggling painfully upon the blades.

As more and more blood dripped from those figures, they soon fell silent, becoming eight corpses pierced through by swords.

"Isn't it just Yellow Springs Dew? Well, is that enough?"

Qin Shiyuan stood with his hands behind his back and asked the still-dazed Black Veil Girl in a teasing tone.

"E-Enough..."

The Black Veil Girl's eyes were filled with shock. One second? Or two?

Before she had even blinked, this man in the Silver Mask had killed eight people in an instant?

What kind of monster had she brought back?

"Then what are you standing around for?"

"Girl, let's go!"

"I'll treat you to ten or eight matches first. Watch all you want, no need to hold back!"

"I wouldn't... fine, let's go..."

The Black Veil Girl had just wanted to refuse, but the moment she saw Qin Shiyuan's smiling eyes, goosebumps rose all over her body.

She swallowed, her face full of bitter helplessness.

After the two left, the Soul Masters who had been fighting merrily nearby all froze in place, staring at one another without daring to move.

Looking at the eight corpses whose blood had not yet fully drained, fine beads of sweat had appeared on their foreheads at some point.

"H-He's a newcomer? How is he this fierce?"

"With that strength, he probably isn't inferior to the Asura King or the Hell Envoy, right?"

"Hahaha, the City of Slaughter is finally going to descend into chaos again! Good! Good! Those two bastards have been arrogant for too long. They should all die!"

"Come to think of it, isn't the next match the Asura King's? Hahahaha! I really can't wait!"

"Hmph! You still want to watch the match? You'd better first prepare your two cups of Yellow Springs Dew for this month!"

"Yellow Springs Dew? Aren't there ready-made supplies right here...?"

As the words fell, everyone in the arena instantly turned their heads as one and fixed their gazes on the eight abandoned corpses.

Greed, malice, brutality—various expressions met one another among the crowd.

"Don't fight me for them! They're all mine!"

At last, with an angry roar, the people present seemed to turn once more into mindless beasts.

They used every part of their bodies they could, biting, crashing into one another, flesh and blood flying everywhere...

For the eight ownerless corpses on the ground, this place once again descended into chaos...
