• Tang Xuan judged Slaughter City corrupt and believed it had transformed from the Asura God’s inheritance ground into the Rakshasa God’s.

Tang Xuan entered the Hell Slaughter Arena and won his first match with overwhelming brutality. After the Black Veil Woman watched him leave the arena victorious, she wondered what his arrival would mean for Slaughter City.

• Tang Xuan could neither remember the transformation nor sense a Sword Intent breakthrough, leaving him questioning whether something unknown had changed within him.

• Hu Liena proposed cooperating against the King of Slaughter, and Tang Xuan asked her to state what she wanted in return.
