Ambush Meets Ambush, Two Old Sixes
"How dare you kill my people?"
The King of Slaughter's voice was like Nine-Nether Cold Wind from the depths of hell, and his scarlet eyes locked onto Lin Xuan, his killing intent almost tangible.
But hidden within that chilling killing intent was a trace of undisguised greed.
The surging, almost boiling, Blood Qi within Lin Xuan's body was even more vigorous than when Tang Chen's body was at its peak; it was practically a "tonic" tailor-made for him.
As the Nine-Headed Bat King, he was most obsessed with beings brimming with Blood Qi.
Lin Xuan's ability to withstand the physical attacks of Titled Douluo with his bare body only made him even more fascinated.
If Lin Xuan could be transformed into a new host, perhaps he could break free from the shackles of this body and truly reach the God Rank!
"King of Slaughter?"
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his Internal Force began to circulate quietly.
One of his main goals for this trip was to see if the King of Slaughter was still the King of Slaughter.
Don't let the Asura God pull some kind of possession or soul-reincarnation trick; that wouldn't be fun.
But judging from the current situation, the King of Slaughter remains the King of Slaughter.
That look could never be the look Tang San would give me.
As for the other purpose...
This is Tang Chen, who is being controlled by the Nine-Headed Bat King.
If we can kill him and seize the Asura Demon Sword, we can enable Xiao Wu to begin the Asura God Examination.
Although it was just an experiment.
Even if the Asura God doesn't think much of Xiao Wu, he still has two promising talents, Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Outsider, do you know your crime?"
The King of Slaughter slowly raised his hand, and crimson energy gathered in his palm.
"I'm giving you a chance. Submit to me, become one of my enforcers, and guard the Hell Slaughter Arena for me, and I'll spare your life and that of your companions."
The King of Slaughter looked at Lin Xuan with exceptional greed, but he also knew that now was not the best time to possess him.
He had to wait until Lin Xuan improved his cultivation before he could seize the body for maximum benefit.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of Lin Xuan's great talent to possess another body now.
But he couldn't let Lin Xuan go; it was best to keep him under his watchful eye.
Even if I can't possess someone right now, it's still nice to look at.
"Submission?"
Lin Xuan scoffed.
"You think you're worthy, you little bug hiding inside someone else's body?"
Lin Xuan had no intention of having a proper conversation with the King of Slaughter; he was determined to kill the conversation in any way possible!
"Presumptuous!"
The King of Slaughter roared, his Blood-colored Robe fluttering even without wind, and his gaze towards Lin Xuan completely changed.
A murderous intent surged within him. Although he didn't know where Lin Xuan had learned about him, now that Lin Xuan knew his secret, he absolutely could not let him live.
Everyone who knows his secret deserves to die!
"Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences instead of accepting a polite offer!"
Today, I will grind you to dust and drain your Blood Qi!
"Then give it a try. I want to see if you have the ability!"
Lin Xuan's expression was serious, his eyes filled with eagerness, and his body shone with golden light, his Blood Qi almost condensing into a giant golden-red dragon.
Below, countless Fallen One erupted in deafening cheers upon seeing this.
Kill him!
Kill this intruder!
"Long live the King of Slaughter!"
These Fallen One were almost insane, their cries and howls filling the air.
They regarded the King of Slaughter as a god, firmly believing that this ruler could easily crush this arrogant young man.
"Xiao Wu, step back."
Lin Xuan shielded Xiao Wu behind him, handed her the Flying Soul Tool, and told her to create some distance.
Xiao Wu, being sensible, put on her Flying Soul Tool and, after telling Lin Xuan Lin Xuan be careful, quickly retreated, knowing better than to cause him any trouble.
Seeing Xiao Wu obediently retreat, he took a step forward, and Jin Lin covered his entire upper body like a tide. Three hundred thousand jin of power surged within him, and every inch of his muscle contained the power to shatter mountains and split rocks.
"Court death!"
The King of Slaughter blurred into a blood-red afterimage as he pounced, his fist carrying a chilling killing intent, aimed straight for Lin Xuan's face.
The murderous aura was like solid ice, almost freezing Lin Xuan's body.
"The Golden Dragon Shakes the Heavens!"
Instead of retreating, Lin Xuan advanced, his Blood Qi and Soul Power merging into a roaring golden dragon, which crashed head-on into the King of Slaughter.
He pushed his 300,000 jin of force to its limit, actually managing to unleash the power of 500,000 jin, colliding fiercely with the fist of the King of Slaughter.
Bang!
The shockwave exploded outwards, sweeping across the surroundings like an invisible shockwave. Many of the Fallen One were nearby were directly blasted away, spitting out blood and nearly losing their lives.
Amidst the massive explosion, the two retreated nearly thirty or forty meters each, their fight proving to be evenly matched.
"Oh? That's interesting."
The King of Slaughter waved his hand, stopping his retreat.
The cloak spread out behind him like bat wings.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes; he hadn't expected Lin Xuan's power to be so formidable.
Although he hasn't used his full strength yet, it's still terrifying.
Keep in mind that Lin Xuan is only at the Soul Elder level!
This made him even more lusting after Lin Xuan's body.
But Lin Xuan knew his secret, so he had no choice but to kill him.
Lin Xuan already understood.
The King of Slaughter's strength was much weaker than he had expected.
That makes sense. With the Nine-Headed Bat King controlling Tang Chen's body, he was unable to unleash Tang Chen's peak power, which was only around level Level 98.
"Again!"
Lin Xuan took the initiative to launch an attack, his dragon claw tearing through the air and blasting out again with unparalleled force.
Golden Dragon Tearing Heaven Claw!
The King of Slaughter snorted coldly, and his crimson energy also condensed into a claw, colliding head-on with Lin Xuan.
Thud! Thud!
Two more violent collisions occurred, creating layers of shockwaves that scattered the blood mist in the sky.
The King of Slaughter's eyes also flashed with a sharp light; he had roughly figured out Lin Xuan's strength.
Around level 97, far inferior to myself.
Kill him!
The King of Slaughter thought he had tested Lin Xuan's strength.
Without any further hesitation, they immediately...
The cloak behind him suddenly transformed into a pair of wings, flapping as it pounced directly towards Lin Xuan.
At the same time, Lin Xuan also used the force to fly backward, and seeing the knowing look that flashed in the eyes of the King of Slaughter, his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.
The time has come!
As the King of Slaughter King of Slaughter at him, Lin Xuan launched another counterattack.
Just as the two were about to collide.
Lin Xuan suddenly activated the Dragon God Power within his body.
In an instant, the Jin Lin on Lin Xuan's body were quickly dyed with nine-colored light, and the Dragon God Form was activated!
The original base strength of 300,000 jin instantly surged to 500,000 jin.
Nine-colored intertwined Blood Essence Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet, and the "Dragon God Body" was operating at full power.
Lin Xuan's All Attributes doubled again, and his strength soared to 1.5 million jin!
At the same time, the "Indestructible Body" was activated, instantly maximizing its defensive power, and its entire body seemed to be enveloped in a layer of glass-like halo.
The Soul Bone Set is activated; although it only has a rough framework, it possesses power roughly comparable to Three-Word Battle Armor.
"The Golden Dragon Shakes the Heavens!"
Lin Xuan unleashed this Soul Skill once again, and with multiple Amplification, his power approached two million jin!
With the added boost of the Soul Bone Set Armor, Lin Xuan's power doubled.
In other words, the set is not complete; otherwise, it would be much more than just double the value.
These changes happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that the King of Slaughter had no time to react.
He only saw a flash of Nine-Colored Light before his eyes, and then a world-destroying force crashed down on him.
Boom--!
A deafening roar, like a nuclear explosion, echoed through the sky. The Golden Dragon King's Power of Destruction, like an invisible giant hammer, slammed down on the King of Slaughter.
The body, enveloped in crimson energy, exploded like a balloon in an instant, turning into a sky full of blood mist!
The cheers abruptly stopped.
The entire City of Slaughter fell into a deathly silence, utterly still.
All the Fallen One stared wide-eyed, their mouths slightly open, but no sound came out.
Their supreme King of Slaughter, the one who had ruled the City of Slaughter countless years, couldn't even withstand three moves before being smashed to pieces by this young man with a single punch?
This wasn't a battle; it was a massacre that defied all understanding!
Just then, a large, black and red sword slowly rose from the blood mist, its blade gleaming with an eerie light—it was the Asura Demon Sword.
"It really is here."
A knowing glint flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. The Asura Demon Sword was hidden inside Tang Chen's body. The simplest way to seize it without damage was to kill the King of Slaughter of King of Slaughter before he could use it.
Otherwise, we'd have to wait for the King of Slaughter to use the Asura Demon Sword or for Tang Chen to wake up.
Then he's probably in for a tough fight.
That's why Lin Xuan kept showing weakness in the first two encounters.
All for this crucial sneak attack!
Just as Lin Xuan was about to reach for the Asura Demon Sword, a sudden change occurred!
A crimson mist suddenly shot out from the blood mist.
In mid-air, the mist condensed into a phantom Nine-Headed Bat Phantom, its fangs bared and its eyes flashing with resentment and madness.
It moved with lightning speed, heading straight for Lin Xuan's brow.
It was the Nine-Headed Bat King that had separated from Tang Chen's body!
It actually tried to take advantage of Lin Xuan's distraction and seize the body it had been dreaming of!
