Tang Hao's appearance threw the surrounding Soul Masters and Fallen Ones into panic. Some were terrified, some enraged, and some fearless enough to charge straight at Tang Hao.

Looking at the Fallen Ones around him, Tang Hao grew even more furious. He directly unleashed his Divine Slaughter's Domain and roared, "Get out of my way! Those who block me will die..."

"Who exactly is this guy?" "Could he be a Slaughter God..." "How is that possible?!" The surrounding Fallen Ones were all panicking.

Seeing Zhao Zilong in the distance, Tang Hao became even more enraged. He immediately gave chase, roaring, "You brat, go die!"

As he spoke, Tang Hao swung the Clear Sky Hammer and hurled it straight at Zhao Zilong.

Along the way, it crushed to death all the Fallen Ones standing between Zhao Zilong and Tang Hao. Seeing the Clear Sky Hammer flying toward him from behind, Zhao Zilong immediately used Lingbo Weibu to evade.

Yet the Clear Sky Hammer glided through the air and continued flying toward Zhao Zilong.

"It has a tracking effect too?" Zhao Zilong was greatly alarmed as he watched the Clear Sky Hammer continue pursuing him. He growled, "Eight Trigrams Palm: Heavenly Return..."

After the Clear Sky Hammer collided with Heavenly Return, it was blasted away with a bang. Tang Hao caught up at that moment, grabbed the Clear Sky Hammer, and smashed it down at Zhao Zilong, growling, "Heavenly Strike..."

Just as the Clear Sky Hammer was about to strike Zhao Zilong, an even more powerful surge of soul power suddenly appeared and blocked Tang Hao's hammer. Then, an even stronger wave of soul power blasted Tang Hao dozens of meters away.

"Damn it..." Tang Hao grew even angrier. "Who was that?"

Zhao Zilong turned around as well. He had been preparing to use Heavenly Return again for defense when he discovered that a surge of soul power was protecting him. He looked up into the sky.

At that moment, the King of Slaughter slowly flapped the enormous blood-red wings behind him and appeared before everyone.

Zhao Zilong's long-absent mature female electronic voice rang out beside his ear once more. "Ding, check-in target: King of Slaughter, Tang Chen, the former former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect..."

Zhao Zilong looked at the King of Slaughter in midair, rather surprised. He had originally thought that he would only have a chance to check in with the King of Slaughter after completing one hundred matches in the Hell Slaughter Arena and opening the Hell Road. He had not expected him to appear so soon.

"The King of Slaughter! It's the King of Slaughter!" Seeing the King of Slaughter appear, the surrounding Soul Masters and Fallen Ones all knelt in worship.

The King of Slaughter looked at Tang Hao and coldly asked, "Slaughter God Tang Hao, why are you slaughtering my subjects here?"

"A Slaughter God? He really is a Slaughter God!" "So he's Tang Hao! Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, also the Slaughter God of the City of Slaughter." Hearing Tang Hao's name, the surrounding Soul Masters could not help but cry out in shock.

Tang Hao looked at the King of Slaughter and pointed at Zhao Zilong, saying coldly, "I have no interest in slaughtering them. My target is only that brat. King of Slaughter, hand him over to me, and I'll leave the City of Slaughter immediately."

The King of Slaughter glanced at Zhao Zilong in surprise. This kid was clearly only a Soul King, and in a place like the City of Slaughter, where he could not use soul skills, he had still managed to escape from Tang Hao.

"I'm afraid that won't be possible." The King of Slaughter immediately refused. "The City of Slaughter has its own rules. Even if you are a Slaughter God, you cannot change the rules here."

Tang Hao frowned deeply and said coldly, "King of Slaughter, killing him will not have any impact on the City of Slaughter."

"Enough, Slaughter God Tang Hao. Even if you don't kill him, whether he can leave the City of Slaughter is still a question! The City of Slaughter has its own rules, and even if you are a Slaughter God, that does not mean you can ignore them." The King of Slaughter said coldly, "And remember this: I am the King of Slaughter. Here, no one may defy my orders. If I say no, then no means no."

Hearing this, Tang Hao grew angry as well. The Clear Sky Hammer returned to his hand, and nine spirit rings—Yellow Yellow Purple Purple Black Black Black Black Red—appeared beneath his feet. He said coldly, "What if I insist on killing him? Will you stop me too?"

"Hahahahahahahahahaha! It seems you became far more arrogant after leaving the City of Slaughter. Tang Hao, your right arm is gone, yet you still dare act arrogant before me?" The King of Slaughter sneered disdainfully. "Let me tell you this: don't think that just because you passed the Hell Road and obtained the title of Slaughter God, you can do whatever you please in the City of Slaughter. I am the King of Slaughter."

As he spoke, nine spirit rings—Black Black Black Black Black Black Black Black Red—appeared beneath the King of Slaughter's feet.

Tang Hao's expression changed drastically. He had long known that the King of Slaughter was a Titled Douluo, but he had not expected the King of Slaughter's Spirit Ring Configuration to be so monstrous.

While Tang Hao was still stunned, the King of Slaughter had already attacked. Tang Hao had no choice but to meet him head-on.

As Zhao Zilong watched the King of Slaughter and Tang Hao, he stayed far away. The surrounding Soul Masters and Fallen Ones did not dare approach either. After all, this was a battle between the King of Slaughter and a Slaughter God.

In the City of Slaughter, where soul skills could not be used, the King of Slaughter and Tang Hao could both use soul skills. Moreover, both possessed Divine Slaughter's Domain. Their terrifying auras made everyone around them tremble in fear.

Hiding off to the side, Zhao Zilong looked at the translucent virtual panel before him.

The mature female electronic voice rang out beside his ear again:

Character: Tang Chen; Age: 151; Status: Former former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, King of Slaughter; Martial Soul: Clear Sky Hammer; Innate Soul Power: Level 9.5; Soul Power: Level 99 (Limit Douluo); Spirit Rings: Black Black Black Black Black Black Black Black Red; God Position: Asura God (currently completed seven trials); System Evaluation: The strongest Soul Master on land, the human closest to godhood. Option One: Deprive Tang Chen of 1 level of Innate Soul Power. Reward: one 99,999-year Fire Phoenix Torso Bone; Option Two: Deprive Tang Chen of 1 level of Innate Soul Power. Reward: the Blue Silver Emperor and Fire Phoenix Twin Martial Souls may be used simultaneously; Option Three: Deprive Tang Chen of 0.5 levels of Innate Soul Power. Reward: the Blue Silver Emperor and Fire Phoenix Twin Martial Souls may be used simultaneously, and obtain the Martial Soul Fusion Skills Super Fire Phoenix (with the Fire Phoenix as the primary and the Blue Silver Emperor as the auxiliary, merging the Blue Silver Emperor's power into the Fire Phoenix to condense a gigantic Super Fire Phoenix with overwhelming destructive power); Burning Blue Silver Emperor (with the Blue Silver Emperor as the primary and the Fire Phoenix as the auxiliary, merging the Fire Phoenix's power into the Blue Silver Emperor to form a Burning Blue Silver Emperor; its flames possess powerful burning and adhesion properties);

Looking at the three options on the panel, Zhao Zilong immediately found himself in a difficult position, because all three were excellent rewards!

The second and third options overlapped considerably. Although the third option could only deprive 0.5 levels of Innate Soul Power, Zhao Zilong did not care. After all, he already possessed Level 9.5 Innate Soul Power. His demand for Innate Soul Power was no longer as high as when he had first arrived on the Douluo Continent.

To Zhao Zilong, 1 level of Innate Soul Power and 0.5 levels were not much different, so he directly eliminated the second option.

That left the first and third options. The first was a 99,999-year Fire Phoenix Torso Bone. Ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine years was practically equivalent to a hundred-thousand-year Torso Bone, and it was even a Fire Phoenix Torso Bone. It was practically tailor-made for him!

But the third option would allow Zhao Zilong to use the Blue Silver Emperor and Fire Phoenix simultaneously, and it also came with two Martial Soul Fusion Skills.

After all, even Tang San and Bibi Dong, who both possessed Twin Martial Souls, could only use one Martial Soul at a time. If he could use two Martial Souls simultaneously, his combat power would directly double.

Moreover, he would not merely be able to use two Martial Souls. He could also make the Fire Phoenix and Blue Silver Emperor perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which was equivalent to performing a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with himself. That would let him challenge a Soul Douluo, or even a Titled Douluo, alone while still a Soul Emperor.

Looking at it that way, the third option was clearly more tempting. But the 99,999-year Fire Phoenix Torso Bone truly was an excellent reward as well!

After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Zilong finally decided, "System, I choose the third option."
