Chapter Summaries

After winning his first Hell Slaughter Arena match, Madara faced the Blood Drinkers, a gang seeking to exploit his newcomer status. He killed their leader with ease and judged the City of Slaughter to be a rotten place that had buried the purity of slaughter.

• Kelder urged Madara to win ninety-nine more matches, while the Black Veiled Girl congratulated him on defeating a rising star and explained that he could live in the City of Slaughter for a year.

Madara left the old man hidden away with Kamui, while Kelder fell dormant until Madara completed the Hell Slaughter Arena trial.

• Ye Yu was hurled out of the black mist and smashed into a wall, leaving a human-shaped crater.

Madara defeated Ye Yu and confronted Wang Yuyue, a Titled Douluo who asked him to spare her. They struck a bargain: Wang Yuyue would keep Tang San from facing trouble with the City of Slaughter authorities, and Madara would search for Wang Yuyue’s son, Wang Zi'an, after leaving.

• Madara gravely injured Ye Yu and nearly killed her while the Enforcement Team members were too terrified to intervene.
• Wang Yuyue blasted Madara away and asked him to spare Ye Yu, revealing that he was a level-90 Titled Douluo and one of the Enforcement Team’s captains.

• Wang Yuyue agreed to Madara’s condition and asked him to search for his son, Wang Zi'an, after leaving the City of Slaughter.

Madara learned that Wang Yuyue was Wang Zi'an's father and heard how he became a Titled Douluo through an unknown divine power. Wang Yuyue gave Madara a black bead and asked him to guide Wang Zi'an's growth, while warning that escaping the City of Slaughter would require more than winning one hundred arena matches.

• Madara asked Wang Yuyue about his past, and Wang Yuyue explained that disappointment over his weak innate talent led him to become an Evil Soul Master.

Madara claimed a house in the City of Slaughter after killing its owner, then was attacked in his spiritual world by a strange creature drawn to the bead Wang Yuyue had given him.

He suspected the King of Slaughter’s subordinate Wang Yuyue was connected to the Rakshasa power, then confronted Wang Yuyue and learned the dangerous bead had been intended for his son.

• Madara used the Sharingan’s beams to dissolve the Rakshasa divine puppet, which had tried to kill him and take over his body.
• Kelder explained that the puppet belonged to the Rakshasa God, and Madara identified Wang Yuyue’s violet bead as its likely source.
• Madara realized Wang Yuyue possessed Rakshasa power and was favored by the King of Slaughter, prompting Kelder to fear that the Nine-Headed Bat King had betrayed the Asura God.

• Wang Yuyue explained that the bead contained power he had tried to cleanse and had meant to give to his son, Wang Zi'an; Madara’s anger eased when he realized the mistake was unintentional.

Madara learned that Bloody Mary was addictive and made people violent, then questioned Wang Yuyue about the King of Slaughter and the continent’s strongest fighters.
