Time's almost up
The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became tense.
Moreover, someone actually recognized Chen Feng's identity.
This is not surprising; he is now a celebrity, both big and small, and these Fallen Ones are not completely isolated from the world.
Unlike Tang Hao, he didn't wear a hood. As long as one person saw Chen Feng's face and said so, everyone else would know who he was.
Before Chen Feng could make a move, the person closest to him rushed over.
"What kind of bullshit Sage? I'll just..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Feng deftly deflected the knife from the man's hand and swiftly slit his throat with his sword.
Then he stood up, looked at the people with different expressions, and said, "I'll give you one minute. Anyone who's still here after one minute will suffer the same fate as this person."
The vast majority of people ignored this statement. They stared at Chen Feng with bloodshot eyes, their gazes as if they wanted to bite a piece of flesh off him.
Only a few who hadn't gone completely mad, intimidated by Chen Feng's status and power, quietly slipped away from the door.
Chen Feng ignored them, silently counting down while confronting the others. "Time's almost up, ten, nine, eight... three, two, one."
The last sound seemed to be some kind of signal; at the same moment it fell, Chen Feng and the people in the tavern moved.
Those with Soul Power release their Soul Power, while those without Soul Power charge forward with weapons, but none of this can outrun lightning.
At this moment, Chen Feng had transformed into a bolt of lightning. All he had to do was move forward and swing his sword. After the lightning swept through the crowd, those who had been filled with madness froze.
With a blue glint in his eyes and a still-dripping sword in his hand, Chen Feng walked expressionlessly to the bar, tapped on the counter, and said to the waiter, "Could you please open the entrance to the City of Slaughter?"
The three bartenders looked behind him and saw that the people whose bodies were frozen all had a line of blood on their necks. The line of blood gradually spread, and then...
"Thump!" Headless corpses fell to the ground, their heads severed from their necks and rolled a long way away.
The scene made the waiters instinctively shudder. Murder itself wasn't scary; they were used to killing. But this scene of death still genuinely terrified them.
Chen Feng's sword was so fast that even after beheading a person, the head would take a short while to fall off. Furthermore, he...
His reputation was so great that the waiters dared not go against him and obediently opened the mechanism at the entrance.
As the bar counter was moved aside, a hole appeared in the floor. Chen Feng felt the cold wind blowing out of the hole and then jumped in.
Behind him, Tang Hao stood up and murmured, "Such a fast sword."
After entering the cave, Chen Feng activated his Purple Demon Eye and walked forward along the passageway.
After traveling a considerable distance, he heard a cold voice coming from all directions. "Welcome to the City of Slaughter, the capital of hell, a world filled with carnage. Here, you can obtain anything you desire, but the price is your life."
"Everything I want..." Chen Feng chuckled softly. Could he really obtain all the knowledge of the myriad worlds if he wanted it? There wasn't a giant sphere of light here called the God of Gods.
He continued walking until he saw an open gate and a group of black-armored Warrior guarding it. The leader, mounted on a tall warhorse, coldly said to Chen Feng, "You have broken the rules."
"So?" Chen Feng stopped in his tracks.
"Only those City of Slaughter."
Chen Feng glanced at the black city behind him, nodded, and said, "Let's go then."
The Black Armored Knight slowly raised his spear, and the warriors beside him slowly retreated, clearing a space for him.
The warhorse suddenly accelerated and charged towards Chen Feng. Chen Feng could feel the cold killing intent emanating from the other party, but after being tempered by Tang Hao for a long time, this killing intent had no effect on him at all.
A thunderous roar, like the chirping of a thousand birds, resounded. Chen Feng raised his hand and flicked it, sending a bolt of lightning shooting out rapidly. It pierced through the Black Armored Knight's suddenly dilated pupils, carrying him off his horse and finally embedding himself in the gate behind him.
The warhorse, now without its master, continued its charge, only to be easily dodged by Chen Feng, who also slapped it across the body. A powerful electric current instantly coursed through the horse's entire body, paralyzing its muscles and causing it to collapse to the ground, its fur standing on end.
"Am I qualified?" Chen Feng made a fist with his right hand, and another sword appeared in his hand.
His Soul Ring Skill was no longer usable here, so he borrowed A Fei's ability and gave the Black Armored Knight a Chidori Stream Flying Sword version.
At this moment, the Black Armored Knight had already fallen off the gate due to the disappearance of the Flying Sword in his chest. His helmet was nowhere to be found, revealing the appearance of a ferocious middle-aged man.
He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and said haltingly, "You, you passed. This is, cough cough, your, proof."
Chen Feng walked over and took a black plaque from his hand. It had a skull engraved on it and a number, 9527.
"Good number." Chen Feng put the tag away and walked through the gate.
Behind him, the middle-aged man began to painstakingly treat his injuries. Chen Feng's Flying Sword had not been aimed at killing, so it had only pierced through his right chest.
Although his injuries were still severe, they were not fatal for a middle-aged man. While he was tending to his injuries, another figure appeared in front of him.
The middle-aged man was taken aback, then bowed with difficulty and said, "Lord Slaughter God."
Tang Hao ignored him and looked at the door in front of him. After Chen Feng walked in, the blood-red barrier that had once blocked him disappeared.
To confirm, Tang Hao took a few steps forward and easily stepped into the area of City of Slaughter.
"Really."
Having confirmed his suspicions, Tang Hao turned and left.
Meanwhile, Hall of the Pope, Bibi Dong sat high on her throne and said to the girl below, "It's dangerous there. If you don't want to go, I can find someone else."
"No, teacher, I'm willing to go. Cultivating step by step can only increase my spiritual strength. Only there can my spirit be truly Quenching, and I can also help you, teacher."
"In that case, you can help me investigate the source of the changes there and see what exactly happened."
"Yes."
"Also, absorb this before you leave."
Hu Liena looked at the white skull that appeared in Bibi Dong's hand and was shocked. "Teacher, this is too precious."
"Even the most precious things need to be used to show their value. Originally, that Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull would have been more suitable for you, but since you lost in the competition, there's no need to dwell on it. The loss of Three pieces of Soul Bone is a huge blow to the Spirit Hall, but the three of you are more important to me than Soul Bone. This skull is also suitable for you. Take it; consider it a reward for sending you on this mission," Bibi Dong said.
Hu Liena did not refuse again, and carefully accepted the gift from her teacher.
Bibi Dong straightened her clothes and said gently, "Also, I received news that the Sage Si Ping has also gone to that place. He is a man of strong principles, clearly distinguishing between gratitude and resentment. You could try to look out for each other with him."
Hu Liena's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and a look of joy unconsciously appeared on her face. "I understand, teacher."
Chen Feng had already entered the inner city of the City of Slaughter. After learning some information from the guide and confirming that it was largely consistent with what he already knew, he casually inquired about the history of the City of Slaughter.
During the guide's explanation, he learned that a total of eight Slaughter God had appeared in the City of Slaughter. The most recent and most promising one was more than ten years ago, when two powerful swordsmen appeared. Unfortunately, they met in the rankings of the Hell Slaughter Arena Hell Slaughter Arena, and one of them died there.
The other one walked the Hell Road, but did not become Slaughter God.
Chen Feng didn't know which of these two powerful figures was Chen Lang, or who was his father. He could only continue to inquire about the information, and he couldn't make it too obvious.
This place is full of scum; he can't let anyone find out his background, especially that King of Slaughter.
Since Tang Hao is unable to enter the City of Slaughter, it's hard to be sure what the King of Slaughter will do. Fortunately, he came alone, so at least he won't be arranged to kill each other with his companions.
As for Hu Liena, Chen Feng had met her last year, and she seemed to be in good spirits; clearly, she wasn't bothered by her defeat.
However, with such intense training, even venturing into the City of Slaughter, it's not a big problem.
There's no time limit for the trials in the City of Slaughter, so Chen Feng can just investigate and kill at his own pace.
Upon arriving in the inner city, in order to gain the right to reside there, Chen Feng first participated in a Hell Slaughter Arena, which surprised the accompanying guide, but the guide did not stop him.
The match ended quickly. With Chen Feng's current strength, he could easily defeat ordinary Fallen Ones with his swordsmanship alone. He beheaded all nine Fallen Ones were in the same match.
Since he was currently unable to use Ice Heart, the series of killings made him feel terrible. After having the guide arrange a place to stay, he hid in the Cycle of Rebirth to deal with the Remnant Soul and calm himself down.
This led him to discover that he could still use his Soul Ring Skill even in the Cycle of Rebirth, meaning he was not bound by the Rules of the City of Slaughter.
Chen Feng hadn't anticipated this situation, but it wasn't unexpected either. The Cycle of Rebirth was like another Plane, unaffected by this Plane, which was understandable.
Being able to use his Soul Ring Skill again put Chen Feng at ease. He was still not used to killing in his natural state, so it was perfect to have Ice Heart to help him adjust.
While adjusting his state, Chen Feng also took the opportunity to have a short remote call with A Fei, which also allowed him to connect with people at school. This kind of communication helped him stabilize his mind and maintain a positive attitude.
Chen Feng didn't want to go through some kind of self-purification process after leaving the City of Slaughter; that wouldn't solve anything, it would only...
The problem has been hidden.
The newbie protection period in the City of Slaughter is only twelve hours. During this time, Chen Feng is safe because no one dares to provoke the guide who represents the King of Slaughter, and Chen Feng has no interest in going out to cause trouble.
Twelve hours later, all sorts of troubles began.
Because he maintained a good mindset, Chen Feng's entire demeanor was out of place in the inner city, so that people here could tell he was a newcomer the moment they saw him.
Therefore, all sorts of tests, deceptions, and even robberies and assassinations came rushing in as the newbie protection period ended.
Fortunately, damage and attacks are not allowed in the residence, which means Chen Feng doesn't have to be on edge all the time; he only needs to be careful when he goes out.
This wasn't difficult. Before arriving here, Chen Feng had set rules for himself: not to eat or drink the food here, not to have close contact with the people here, and not to wander around aimlessly.
In this situation, any scheme targeting Chen Feng will eventually escalate into armed conflict, and in this respect, Chen Feng, who can borrow abilities from the outside world, clearly has a significant advantage.
Although A Fei looks cute, he is a genuine rat clan genius with a highly skilled ability to control lightning. Chen Feng has Spirit King- level Soul Power. Together, they are basically unmatched in this City of Slaughter Soul Ring Skill are prohibited, unless they provoke the King of Slaughter.
On this day, after finishing his match in the Hell Slaughter Arena, Chen Feng returned home and saw the commentator who had previously guided him. Beside the commentator was a young girl, Hu Liena.
Why is she here? And why is she only arriving now? Chen Feng was puzzled.
He had previously thought that Hu Liena wouldn't come, and indeed he hadn't found any other participants in the Killing Arena with similar characteristics, but he never expected to see her today.
As Hu Liena listened to the guide explaining the Rules, her eyes swept across the room and she spotted Chen Feng not far ahead. Just as she was about to greet him, she noticed someone sneaking up on him from behind.
"Little..." Before Hu Liena could even warn him, she saw the sword in Chen Feng's hand shoot backward, piercing the man's neck.
He can actually use Soul Skill? Or is this the ability of Soul Bone? Hu Liena looked astonished.
After taking down one of the old men, Chen Feng didn't even turn his head. He greeted Hu Liena and said, "I didn't expect you to come here."
"My teacher sent me here. You seem to be doing quite well here?" Hu Liena looked Chen Feng up and down and found that his demeanor was completely different from the others here. He was still so sunny and elegant.
It was as if the filthy place of the City of Slaughter had no effect on Chen Feng whatsoever.
"You haven't been here long, have you?" Hu Liena guessed.
"I haven't been here long, you go ahead and get busy. You can come find me at my place later, and we can talk then." Chen Feng ended the conversation proactively. The street wasn't a place to chat, and Lao Liu might come to ambush them at any time.
"By the way, remember to be cautious and don't easily trust others."
