"How dare you cause such a disturbance on my turf? You're practically asking to die!
"You've truly enraged me!"
"I'll devour your flesh and blood and make them my nourishment!!!" the Slaughter King roared, unleashing a terrifying killing intent.
His enormous bat wings spread wide, and in an instant, a dreadful aura of slaughter burst forth. Countless bats flew from his wings and attacked Ye Wen and the others.
"Heh. Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammer."
BAM!
Ye Wen summoned his weapon. With a single swing, its terrifying energy wiped out countless bats.
"What!" The Slaughter King's expression darkened. "What overbearing energy!"
Ye Wen charged straight at the Slaughter King, hammer in hand.
"His strength actually makes me feel afraid..."
"Haah!"
BAM!
The Slaughter King met Ye Wen's hammer head-on, but he had underestimated just how terrifying Ye Wen's strength was.
"You dared to take my hammer head-on? You've got guts, Slaughter King."
"W-How can he be this strong!"
SPLURT!
"AAAHHHH!"
The Slaughter King spat out a mouthful of blood. In an instant, he was sent flying and slammed into the ground, smashing a huge crater into it.
"Who is this man? Are there really such powerful experts on the continent? His strength is in no way inferior to those two Gods of Slaughter." The Slaughter King, who had just been so arrogant, overbearing, and terrifying,
was now completely stunned. He stared in horror at Ye Wen in the sky, clad in a black cloak and gripping two hammers.
"Hey, little bat, aren't you going to get up? My next hammer's coming!" Ye Wen said with a hint of amusement, then launched another terrifying attack.
Terror filled the Slaughter King's face. He scrambled desperately to his feet. BAM! At the last possible moment, he dodged Ye Wen's second hammer.
"Damn it!"
"Slaughter Domain!!"
"Haahhhh~!!"
A crimson domain aura erupted from the Slaughter King, sealing off the surrounding area.
"My Slaughter Domain is the most overbearing domain in the world. You can't use any of your Soul Skills, including your Soul Bone Skills. No matter how terrifying your strength is, you'll never defeat me!!" The Slaughter King's face twisted into a grimace.
He knew Ye Wen's strength was incredibly overbearing, so he only needed to avoid a direct clash and kill him by other means.
"Not bad, not bad. Your Slaughter Domain really is impressive. But I don't need to use any Soul Skills or Soul Bone Skills to deal with you."
In his Semi-human Form, he didn't have any Soul Skills or Soul Bone Skills to begin with. Those all belonged to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
It was just like self-created Martial Souls developed by human Soul Masters; they weren't subject to the restrictions.
And even without those abilities, he still had the Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammer, a weapon close to god-tier, as well as the Dual Whale Pearls, Thunder Pearl, and Inner Core.
The Slaughter King had learned his lesson and began attacking from various angles, constantly avoiding Ye Wen's frontal assaults.
But even so, the Slaughter King couldn't hold out for long. Every time Ye Wen attacked, he had to desperately block or dodge!
BAM BAM BAM BAM!
"So strong!"
"Too strong!"
"I can barely hold him off!"
BAM BAM BAM!
Ye Wen relentlessly chased the Slaughter King, battering him with his hammer. His attacks looked wild and uncoordinated, but every swing left behind an invisible trace of lightning energy in the air.
He was weaving a vast net of thunder. Once it was complete, he could instantly gather a terrifying force of thunder around the Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammer,
forming an incredibly fearsome lightning-based attack.
And now, the net had taken shape. ZZZZT!
Countless traces of lightning energy left in the air instantly converged on the Eight-Edged Plum Blossom Hammer. Ye Wen seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, moving so fast that the Slaughter King couldn't react at all.
"No! No!!"
The Slaughter King was utterly terrified.
"Lie down, Slaughter King!"
ZZT! BAM! RUMBLE!
"AAAHHHH!" The Slaughter King spewed blood as Ye Wen's hammer slammed him to the ground. Gravely injured, he lost the strength to fight back.
BAM!
Ye Wen planted a foot on the Slaughter King, looking down coldly at the man he had beaten into submission.
He shook his head. "Although you've possessed a Soul Master who reached Peak Level 99, you can't bring out the full strength of this body at all. If the body you possessed weren't so powerful, you'd already be dead from that last blow."
"W-Who are you? Why have you come to our Slaughter City? Are you here to avenge the person whose body I possessed?" The Slaughter King's voice was weak, his eyes full of fear.
"I came to make you submit to me and become my servant." Ye Wen slowly removed the hood covering his head and looked down at the Slaughter King. "Remember this well: my name is Ye Wen. I'm a Sea Soul Beast, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and you'll become my fifth servant."
"A s-servant..."
The next moment, Ye Wen unleashed the Master-Servant Contract Power once more.
Before long, the Slaughter King had completely submitted to Ye Wen. "Master!"
The Slaughter King, ruler of the underground kingdom of Slaughter City, was now one of Ye Wen's generals. The forces he had built up here would also be at Ye Wen's disposal.
Master-Servant Contract Power slots decreased by 1. Remaining slots out of 20: 15.
As for the creatures he had under his command, there were Da Ming, a bull serpent; Er Ming, an ape; an orca; a shark; and now a 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: 100,000 years] [Strength: Equivalent to a Level 96 Titled Douluo (after activating his domain, he would be infinitely close to Level 97.)] [Domain: Slaughter Domain.] [Special Note: Unable to transform using the Power of Transformation. Reason: The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King is parasitizing the body of a human Soul Master and cannot put the human Soul Master's body into a transformed state. It can do so only if it completely erodes the human Soul Master's body, merges with it entirely, and perfectly remakes it into the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's bloodline.]
"Just as I thought." Ye Wen had expected that the Slaughter King probably couldn't transform. After all, it was still Tang Chen's body; the Nine-Headed Bat King had merely taken it over.
Whether the Slaughter King could transform didn't matter. All Ye Wen wanted was to control the Slaughter King and Slaughter City.
"All right, take us to your residence. Recover from your injuries first. Afterward, I have some questions for you."
"No need, Master. I can recover my strength very quickly."
"Oh?" Ye Wen was a little puzzled.
"Master, just watch."
The Slaughter King immediately released a crimson energy. The next moment, the blood of the people who had died while trying to resist Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai began to be frantically absorbed by him.
The Slaughter King's injuries healed at a visibly rapid pace.
Before long, he was almost able to move freely.
