The Douluo: Slaughter Star Returns, Settling Accounts with Bibi Dong from the Start - Part 37

The King of Slaughter, standing in the sky, happened to see this scene as well.

"Is that the intruder?"

A subordinate beside him immediately nodded. "Yes. He killed one of our Terror Knights!"

At this, the King of Slaughter's gaze turned icy. "Aside from a God of Slaughter, no one has ever dared to break into Slaughter City. And this brat actually forced his way in. Does he think he can come and go as he pleases?"

Qian Xun'an studied the man. Although he had restrained him, the man's mind had already been controlled by the King of Slaughter. Perhaps only the King of Slaughter could undo that control.

"It must have been that old geezer, right?"

The corner of Qian Xun'an's mouth lifted slightly, and a quiet murmur slipped from his lips.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the energy around him surged. A powerful force erupted from within him. Light blazed as his Martial Soul manifested at astonishing speed. The phantom of an Angel instantly took shape, and six snowy-white wings unfurled behind him without warning.

The wings were like pure white feathers, radiating dazzling light.

Their shape was flawless, and each feather seemed to be forged from pure gold. Light surged like a tide, illuminating Qian Xun'an until he glittered brilliantly, like a golden War God descending into the mortal world.

A suit of golden armor appeared on his body.

The armor blazed with light, radiating a solemn, imposing presence. Each plate gleamed like exquisitely sculpted gold, shining with breathtaking splendor.

Its material was incomparably tough, as if forged from fragments of stars in the heavens, and filled with a mysterious, immense power.

The King of Slaughter narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Qian Xun'an. "Oh? An Angel?"

Qian Xun'an took a step and instantly appeared in the sky, facing the King of Slaughter on his blood-red throne.

Looking at the King of Slaughter, Qian Xun'an smiled. "You're in charge here, right? Then do me a small favor and give this man his mind back."

The King of Slaughter turned his cold gaze on Qian Xun'an. His voice was indifferent. "Do you know who you're talking to?"

Qian Xun'an chuckled. "I'm talking to you. You're the one who took their minds, aren't you?"

As soon as he said this, the enormous blood-red throne suddenly trembled. A red ring of light swiftly spread out, covering the entire area.

The crimson glow brimmed with baleful energy. Even the weaker people felt dizzy. And this was inside Slaughter City, no less.

The whole city suddenly shook violently. The fallen ones toppled to the ground, and some of the weaker ones even bled from their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths.

"I heard you killed many of our Terror Knights?" The King of Slaughter watched Qian Xun'an with a frigid gaze. His voice remained emotionless, yet sent a chill through anyone who heard it.

Qian Xun'an shrugged. "That's right. I killed a few people who stood in my way."

"Then you'll stay here in Slaughter City!"

As he spoke, the King of Slaughter sent a terrifying wave of bloodlust hurtling toward Qian Xun'an.

The King of Slaughter couldn't be bothered to waste words on someone as insolent as Qian Xun'an. First, he would kill the insignificant worm who dared offend him.

Killing intent surged, and the temperature around them plummeted.

Boom—

In an instant, a beam of golden light shot up into the sky and transformed into a colossal sword. It appeared out of nowhere and charged straight toward the King of Slaughter's bloodlust.

Rumble—

A deafening explosion rang out. The golden and crimson light collided, sending ripples through the surrounding blood mist.

The bloodlust churned, forming one blood-red dragon after another in the sky.

But as the golden light soared, the blood-red dragons, which had been filled with bloodthirst, crumbled one after another.

The golden light slowly faded, revealing what lay within: a golden-armored Angel hovering in midair, its gleaming wings gently beating as golden light spread around it.

"How could this..."

The King of Slaughter murmured. In the next instant, he stamped his right foot down.

Bang—

A series of muffled explosions rang out inside Slaughter City, and hundreds of houses collapsed.

Below, Hu Liena and Tang San stared in utter shock at the figure in the sky. Hu Liena was stunned, rooted to the spot as she murmured, "How is this possible... How could it be him?"

Hu Liena's body began to tremble. Just seeing Qian Xun'an filled her with boundless terror, and she almost instinctively grabbed Tang San.

Tang San spotted Qian Xun'an in the distance, and boundless hatred welled up inside him.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms and drew blood. Yet he seemed not to notice. The fury in his eyes looked ready to burst into flames.

Qian Xun'an. That name had long been branded into his mind.

After Tang Hao's death, word quickly spread. The entire continent learned that Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect had been killed at Spirit Hall by one of its Adjudicator Elders.

Tang San had naturally heard the news as well. How could he not be furious, face-to-face with the man who had killed his father?

The King of Slaughter was also deeply shocked. He looked at Qian Xun'an. "You don't have a Slaughter Domain. So why can't my Slaughter Domain suppress you?"

Qian Xun'an looked at the King of Slaughter with a faint smile. "A domain?"

Qian Xun'an gently pointed ahead. At that moment, it was as if his finger had touched the surface of water. Boundless ripples of Soul Power spread outward, and the killing intent released by the King of Slaughter shattered in an instant. Even the blood-red throne behind him trembled violently.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump..." Countless sprays of blood burst into the air, blossoming into blood lotuses, and the King of Slaughter's face turned deathly pale.

"You... You..." He stared at Qian Xun'an in disbelief.

The King of Slaughter was utterly stunned. He hadn't expected Qian Xun'an to break through his Slaughter Domain!

"How is that possible?"

"You actually broke through my Slaughter Domain. You... Who are you?"

Qian Xun'an looked at the King of Slaughter calmly. "I've changed my mind. Since you're the one who affected his mind, killing you should restore it, right?"

The King of Slaughter flew into a rage. This brat was simply too arrogant.

He wanted to kill him? This was Slaughter City, after all—the King of Slaughter's home turf. As long as he was here, he was invincible. What made this brat think he could kill him?

"Brat, you're too arrogant. You think you're worthy of killing me?"

The King of Slaughter's aura surged again. A terrifying presence erupted from him, and the overpowering stench of blood made the entire space grow more and more oppressive.

Rumble, rumble, rumble! Clouds of blood gathered frantically. Countless blood-red spheres formed within them: Slaughter City's forbidden spell, the Blood Meteor Shower.

The King of Slaughter raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at Qian Xun'an. In an instant, the sky darkened, and terrifying destructive power swallowed Qian Xun'an whole.

At that moment, waves of terrifying killing intent surged upward, as if they would destroy heaven and earth. The overwhelming bloodlust was powerful enough to tear the sky apart.

Qian Xun'an remained suspended in midair, golden wings spread behind him and shining brilliantly. His expression stayed calm, as though he paid no heed to the King of Slaughter's deadly strike.

The King of Slaughter's attack arrived. Blood-red meteors rained down from the sky, blanketing everything like scattered petals.

Golden light flashed around Qian Xun'an, forming a golden barrier that covered his entire body. With the barrier protecting him, no physical attack could get close.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom! One blood-red meteor after another slammed into the golden barrier. It shook violently, but suffered no damage. The meteors, by contrast, shattered one after another in midair.

Qian Xun'an's body seemed to distort slightly. As the meteors rained down on him, he appeared to become completely cut off from the outside world, immersed in his own realm. Each time he was attacked, he dodged with precision and redirected the blow.

He simply strode through the air: one step, two steps, three steps—eight steps in all. With each step, his presence grew more powerful, and the purple-black light in his eyes grew brighter still.

Humm— A strange rune quietly appeared on his forehead.

Roar— A low dragon's cry rang out. His clothes fluttered, golden flames swirled around him, and his long hair danced in a windless breeze. In that instant, he took on a strange presence, as if he alone existed between heaven and earth.

The sight was so horrifying that even the King of Slaughter froze. He stared blankly at the figure in the sky, and even seemed to have trouble breathing.

Qian Xun'an's gaze was utterly calm as he faced the King of Slaughter. Not a flicker of emotion crossed his face. He suddenly thrust out his right arm, and a mass of golden light rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, an enormous golden arm stretched across the sky above the entire city.

This was Qian Xun'an's Soul Bone Skill. The Spirit Bone in his right arm came from a four-hundred-thousand-year-old dragon, so its power was naturally immense.

The enormous golden claw swept down and slammed hard into the King of Slaughter.

Boom— Amid a thunderous roar and a spray of countless drops of blood, Qian Xun'an's attack drove the King of Slaughter straight into the buildings below.

The entire high-rise where the King of Slaughter had landed collapsed in an instant, reduced to rubble. But he wasn't dead.

"Bold!" A low roar shook the sky. In the next instant, vast clouds of blood surged up from below and rapidly spread toward Qian Xun'an.

Qian Xun'an smiled faintly. "Already throwing a tantrum? It seems your reputation as a Demon King is hollow after all. Your Slaughter City is no match for me."

Boom— Another thick beam of light blasted down. It came from the King of Slaughter's Slaughter Rule.

The instant the beam struck, it exploded, making the entire Slaughter City shake violently.

The blood in the rivers below began to gather on the King of Slaughter's body, continuously flowing into him. His body rapidly swelled. His frame, which hadn't been especially huge before, changed at incredible speed until he stood more than a hundred meters tall. His muscles piled up like rocks, brimming with explosive power.

"Brat, even if I have to sacrifice Slaughter City, I'll make you pay today!" the King of Slaughter roared at the sky, his terrifying voice sweeping across the entire city.

Qian Xun'an shook his head slightly and sighed. "You really are beyond reason."

The King of Slaughter lunged at him. He was incredibly fast, and in a brief moment had closed to within fifty meters of Qian Xun'an.

"Die!" A massive blood-red hammer dropped from the sky, its terrifying killing power aimed straight at Qian Xun'an's chest.

Boom—

A ring of golden light spread out beneath Qian Xun'an's feet, and the blood mist around him crumbled in midair.

At the same time, he shot upward from the ground and threw a punch at the blood-red hammer.
