The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat, Slaughter King, Submits!

"How dare you cause trouble on my turf—you're practically begging for death!

"You've thoroughly angered me!"

"I'll devour your flesh and blood, become my nourishment!!!" The Slaughter King roared, a terrifying murderous aura surging forth.

His massive bat wings spread wide, and in that instant, a dreadful killing intent erupted as countless bats flew from his wings, attacking Ye Wen and the other two.

"Heh, Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammer."

Boom!

Ye Wen materialized his weapon, and with a single swing of the hammer, the fearsome energy shattered countless bats.

"What!" The Slaughter King's face darkened. "Such overbearing energy!"

Ye Wen advanced on the Slaughter King, hammer in hand.

"His strength actually makes me feel fear..."

"Hah!"

Boom!

The Slaughter King met Ye Wen's hammer head-on, but he still underestimated Ye Wen's terrifying power.

"To dare block my hammer head-on, you've got guts, Slaughter King."

"H-How can he be this strong!"

Squelch!

"Aaaahhh!"

The Slaughter King coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body instantly hurtling down with a whoosh, slamming violently into the ground and cratering it on impact.

"Who is this person? Does the continent still have such a powerhouse? His strength is no less than those two Gods of Slaughter..." The Slaughter King, who moments ago had been so arrogant, domineering, and terrifying, was now utterly dumbfounded, staring in terror at Ye Wen in the sky, clad in a black cloak and wielding two hammers.

"Hey, you little bat, get up quick—my next hammer's coming." Ye Wen said with a hint of mockery as he launched another terrifying assault.

The Slaughter King's face twisted in horror as he scrambled desperately to his feet. Boom! He barely dodged Ye Wen's second hammer by a hair's breadth.

"Damn it!"

"Slaughter Domain!!"

"Hyaaahhh~!!"

A red domain aura erupted from the Slaughter King's body, sealing off the surrounding area.

"My Slaughter Domain is the most overbearing domain in the world! All your Soul Skills, including your Soul Bone Skills, are unusable! No matter how terrifying your strength, you can't defeat me!!" The Slaughter King's face twisted savagely.

He realized Ye Wen's power was overwhelmingly direct, so he'd avoid a head-on clash and kill Ye Wen through other means.

"Not bad, not bad. Your Slaughter Domain is indeed impressive, but to deal with you, I don't need any Soul Skills or Soul Bone Skills at all."

In his Semi-human Form, he had no such skills—those all belonged to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

It was like the self-created Martial Souls human Soul Masters developed, which weren't restricted.

And even if he couldn't use those skills, he still had the near God-tier weapon, the Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammer, along with the Dual Whale Pearls, the Thunder Pearl, and his Inner Core.

The Slaughter King had learned his lesson and began attacking from the flanks, constantly dodging Ye Wen's frontal assaults.

But even so, the Slaughter King couldn't hold out much longer. Every time Ye Wen struck, he had to block or dodge with all his might!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

"So strong!"

"Too strong!"

"I can barely withstand this!"

Boom, boom, boom!

Ye Wen chased the Slaughter King relentlessly, hammering away wildly. It looked like chaotic, random swings, but each strike left invisible thunder-attribute energy lingering in the air.

He was weaving a net of lightning. Once it was complete, he could instantly gather a terrifying thunder force onto the Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammer.

Forming an incredibly fearsome thunder-type technique.

And now, that lightning net was complete. Crackle, crackle, crackle!

The countless residual thunder energies in the air converged instantly onto the Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammer. Ye Wen seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, moving so fast the Slaughter King couldn't react at all.

"No! No!!"

The Slaughter King was utterly terrified.

"Lie down, Slaughter King!"

Zap! Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

"Aaaahhh!" The Slaughter King spewed blood as Ye Wen's hammer smashed him to the ground, heavily wounded and stripped of all strength to resist.

Boom!

Ye Wen stomped the Slaughter King into the ground, looking down with cold indifference at the crippled ruler beneath his foot.

He shook his head and said, "Even though you've parasitized a soul master who has reached Peak Level 99, you still can't fully unleash the power of this body. If the flesh you've latched onto weren't so tough, you'd have been dead from that hammer blow already."

"Who... who exactly are you? What is your purpose in coming to our Slaughter City? Could it be... revenge for the original owner of this body I've parasitized?" The Slaughter King was extremely weak, his eyes filled with fear.

"I came to make you submit, to become my servant." Ye Wen slowly pulled off the hood covering his head, looking down at the Slaughter King. "Remember this well. My name is Ye Wen, a sea soul beast, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. And you will become my fifth servant."

"Ser... servant?"

The next second, Ye Wen activated the Master-Servant Contract Power again.

Before long, the Slaughter King was completely prostrate before Ye Wen: "Master!"

The lofty Slaughter King, ruler of the underground kingdom Slaughter City.

Now he too had become a general under Ye Wen's command, and the forces the Slaughter King had cultivated here would serve him as well.

Master-Servant Contract Power slots reduced by one. Remaining slots: 15 out of 20.

In terms of creature types, there was already Da Ming, a Bull Snake; Er Ming, an Ape; then an Orca and a Shark. Now there was one more Bat.

"Get up."

Ye Wen helped the battered Slaughter King to his feet, then checked his attributes.

[Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King + Tang Chen Form]

[Cultivation: Hundred Thousand Year]

[Strength: Equivalent to a Level 96 Titled Douluo (infinitely close to Level 97 when domain is activated.)]

[Domain: Slaughter Domain.]

[Special Note: Unable to transform through the Power of Transformation. Reason: The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King has parasitized a human soul master's body. It cannot force the human soul master's body into a transformation state. Unless it can completely erode the human soul master's body, fully merging with it and perfectly remolding it into the bloodline of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.]

"Just as I thought." Ye Wen had anticipated this. The Slaughter King probably couldn't transform, after all, it was still Tang Chen's body. The Nine-Headed Bat King had merely taken over Tang Chen's body.

Whether the Slaughter King transformed or not didn't matter. What he wanted was to control the Slaughter King and control Slaughter City.

"Alright, take us to your residence. First, recover from your injuries properly. After that, I have some questions for you."

"No need, Master. I can recover my strength quickly."

"Oh?" Ye Wen was a bit puzzled.

"Master, watch. Like this."

The Slaughter King immediately released a surge of scarlet energy. The next second, the blood of those who had died resisting Ye Wen, the Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai began to be frantically absorbed by him.

The Slaughter King's injuries recovered at a visible rate.

Soon, he was able to move about freely.
