The Legend of the Shore Flower (Part One)

After Man Yao entered the arena, she sensed a heavy Killing Intent filled with deep malice toward her.

A Woman in Black Veil dressed in revealing, flamboyant attire glared viciously at Man Yao, as though she wanted to devour her whole.

Man Yao frowned but said nothing.

Of the ten people who had entered, aside from Man Yao and the provocatively dressed woman, the rest were all men. They looked fierce and burly, as if the words "I'm a bad guy" were written across their faces.

As the iron gate shut, the ten people fell silent for a moment before suddenly launching into a vicious attack.

The provocatively dressed woman was the first to charge at the others. It was as if she and Man Yao had reached an agreement: kill everyone else first, then decide the victor between themselves.

Before long, only Man Yao and the provocatively dressed woman remained in the Hell Slaughter Arena. Severed limbs littered the ground, making anyone who looked want to vomit and avert their eyes.

"Now, it's our turn." The provocatively dressed woman stared coldly at Man Yao.

Looking at the scantily clad woman before her, information about her flashed through Man Yao's mind.

That Woman in Black Veil, dressed so revealingly, was known in the Hell Slaughter Arena as the Succubus.

Her Martial Soul was the Nightmare Demon Fox. It was exceptionally strange, releasing an eerie fragrance that easily ensnared those with weak wills.

Within the City of Slaughter, she had always been unstoppable with her Martial Soul. She lingered among men, and coupling with them increased her cultivation, which was why her strength had risen so quickly.

Her strength was not low, nearly equal to Man Yao's, though she usually kept a low profile.

Man Yao remembered her because of that day. That day, Qian Xunji emerged from the Hell Slaughter Arena. Though he was covered in Killing Intent, he possessed a captivating charm. The Succubus stepped forward to tease Qian Xunji, wanting to spend the night with him.

Man Yao clearly remembered that Qian Xunji had said nothing at the time. His expression had merely turned exceptionally cold as he looked at her and said, "Get lost."

The Succubus had been humiliated. After dominating the City of Slaughter for so many years, it was the first time she had encountered such a man. It stirred her desire to conquer him, yet she had failed before she could succeed, leaving her deeply unwilling to accept it.

So she boldly stepped forward and tried to touch Qian Xunji's face. Seeing this, Qian Xunji shifted aside and avoided her.

But she continued to pursue him. Qian Xunji finally lost patience and slapped her, saying that her appearance was revolting before leaving.

This incident had humiliated the Succubus beyond measure, and she had wanted nothing more than to kill Qian Xunji. But she had watched Qian Xunji's matches and understood that she was no match for him, so she had eventually let it go.

"You seem to hate me. Can you tell me why?" Man Yao asked, unable to contain her confusion.

Man Yao knew clearly that she had never had any dealings with her before. She did not know why the woman hated her so much.

At those words, the provocatively dressed woman grew even angrier, her eyes nearly spitting fire. "You little bitch! Don't think you can rest easy just because you latched onto him. Today, I'll kill you."

Yes, the Succubus bore a grudge because of Qian Xunji's humiliation. Yet Qian Xunji usually kept to himself and had no dealings with anyone else, only to save Man Yao one day.

After that, the two of them were always together, calling each other brother and sister. It grated harshly on her ears, as if they were mocking her incompetence, so she came to hate Man Yao as well.

Seeing this, Man Yao said no more. She drew her black longsword and clashed with the Succubus.

For a time, sword light flashed and crackling sounds rang out without end, fully displaying the intensity of the battle.

The Succubus truly was formidable. Her raw strength was no weaker than Man Yao's, and a strange aura drifted from her body. Its rich fragrance constantly interfered with Man Yao.

But Man Yao was no weakling either. Killing Intent surged around her, and having grown up in the City of Slaughter, her will was exceptionally resilient. Naturally, the Succubus's fragrance could not affect her.

Moreover, during the time she had spent with Qian Xunji, he had generously taught her all kinds of combat experience and Sword Technique secrets. Man Yao's strength had improved rapidly.

With a bang, Man Yao sent the Succubus flying with a single slash. The Succubus could not help coughing up blood as she smashed a hole into the wall behind her, sending dust flying everywhere.

In the stands, Qian Xunji quietly watched the scene. A rare smile appeared on his face. The people around him watched the battle in the Hell Slaughter Arena, waving their fists and shouting loudly.

But no one noticed the cold smile that appeared on the Succubus's face at that moment.

A seductive woman dressed in revealing black gauze stepped out of the Hell Slaughter Arena. Her body was splattered with blood, making her look terrifying, yet she did not care in the slightest. Instead, she seemed to admire it greatly.

Suddenly, she spotted a Familiar Figure. It was Qian Xunji. He stood quietly in the stands of another arena, dressed in black robes that fluttered around his tall, straight figure. His cool, sculpted features were perfectly proportioned, and his extraordinary bearing made him seem like an immortal who had descended into the mortal world.

She could not help staring at him in a daze. She admitted that since entering the City of Slaughter, she had never seen such a handsome man. But whenever she thought of the humiliation he had dealt her, her teeth ground together as she clenched them in fury. If she had been able to defeat him, she would have long since made him submit beneath her skirt with her methods.

After a while, the gates of the Hell Slaughter Arena below Qian Xunji's stands slowly opened. A Girl in Black Clothes emerged from within. Her features were delicate and lovely, her cheeks still tinged with red. Sweat trickled down her neck, forming a beautiful sight.

Suddenly, as though she had seen something, she immediately hurried forward and threw herself into Qian Xunji's arms.

Qian Xunji's body stiffened, but he did not push her away. Instead, he slowly patted her back and affectionately stroked her head. The two chatted and laughed as they walked back together.

Not far away, the Succubus clenched her fists tightly and stared fixedly at them.

Before long, her fists had gone pale from the pressure as she thought furiously, Aren't you supposed to be cold and aloof, acting so high and mighty? Why are you so gentle with that little girl? How am I inferior to her? Damn it!

The Succubus slowly loosened her fists and walked back the way she had come. When she returned to her wooden hut, she saw someone.

It was a Girl in Black Veil. She knew that this was the Envoy of the Slaughter King in the City of Slaughter, responsible for receiving newcomers. She did not know why she had come here today.

The Girl in Black Veil slowly said, "Succubus, the Slaughter King requests your presence."

She widened her eyes in shock. "I... I'm not going. I haven't done anything wrong."

"Do you want revenge? The Slaughter King has a way." The Girl in Black Veil spoke again.

Thinking of that man's figure from earlier, hatred surged within the Succubus. "Fine. I'll go with you."

"Please follow me," the Envoy of the Slaughter King said slowly.
