Hu Liena won her sixty-ninth match in the Hell Slaughter Arena using sword intent she had developed from Yun Feng’s techniques.

• The King of Slaughter worried that Hu Liena might survive the Hell Road and bring disaster to Slaughter City.

After Hu Liena completed her hundredth victory in Slaughter City, the King of Slaughter appeared and offered her a way to leave without facing Hell Road. Remembering her teacher and Yun Feng’s advice, she refused the offer and chose to attempt the trial, while the King began opening Hell Road.

• Hu Liena won her hundredth match in the Hell Slaughter Arena, earning the feared title of Hell Slaughterer.
• The King of Slaughter descended into the arena and offered Hu Liena the title of Slaughter God, permission to leave Slaughter City, and a position as guest elder without walking Hell Road.
• Hu Liena refused the shortcut and declared that she would pass Hell Road’s trial through her own strength.
• The King of Slaughter warned Hu Liena about Hell Road, then unleashed an evil red aura that spread through the arena and began to cover the spectator stands.

The King of Slaughter sacrificed the spectators in the Hell Slaughter Arena to open Hell Road, sending Hu Liena into its blood-red passage. She arrived on a tiny platform, where Yun Feng appeared and nearly fell into the abyss; the two found themselves on a dangerously narrow path with an unknown expanse below.

• A red barrier drove the Fallen Ones in the arena to tear themselves apart, and their blood flowed into channels that formed a bat-shaped pattern.
• The pattern swallowed Hu Liena and transported her to Hell Road as the King of Slaughter wished her luck.

• Yun Feng appeared beside Hu Liena, nearly fell into the abyss, then flew back up on his sword.
• Yun Feng and Hu Liena stood close together on the cramped platform, and Yun Feng wondered what lay below.

Yun Feng and Hu Liena investigated the abyss beneath the circular platform and concluded that its pool of blood might power Slaughter City's strange domain. After recovering, they flew into the darkness of the Road to Hell, where Yun Feng suddenly stopped.

• Yun Feng saw a pool of blood below the platform and suspected it contained Slaughter City's accumulated Bloody Mary.

• Yun Feng and Hu Liena moved slowly into the darkness while he scanned ahead with his spiritual power.
• Yun Feng suddenly stopped, and Hu Liena tensed and asked what was wrong.

• Yun Feng sensed rising heat and approaching sounds, warning Hu Liena to stay alert.
• Yun Feng concluded that the Blood Pool was closer and might be magma, then told Hu Liena to focus on the immediate danger.

• Hu Liena stood behind Yun Feng and released her killing intent as the bats surrounded them.
• Yun Feng steadied their footing against the bats' wind and flung out a vine.

Yun Feng used his Blue Silver Emperor abilities and flight to lead Hu Liena through the Blood Bats, but a Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat appeared ahead and attacked them. Yun Feng was confident he could fight it despite the restrictions, while Hu Liena braced for danger on the narrow path.

• A Blood Bat dodged Yun Feng's vine, but he redirected it and killed the bat as Hu Liena explained the creatures' keen reactions.
• Dozens of Blood Bats charged, so Yun Feng formed wings from the Blue Silver Emperor, trapped nearly a hundred bats, and killed many of them.

• A giant Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat emerged and gathered the remaining Blood Bats behind it.
• The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat attacked Yun Feng and Hu Liena, and Yun Feng judged it stronger than an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beast while Hu Liena warned him to be careful.

Yun Feng and Hu Liena battled the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat as they flew over a shattered path in Slaughter City. The bat split into hundreds of smaller bats and sent the Blood Bats to chew through Yun Feng’s vines, prompting Hu Liena to attack at full speed.

• Hu Liena slowed the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat with her gaze while Yun Feng threw her clear of its dark-red shock waves and smashed its central head with a Blue Silver Emperor vine.
• Yun Feng flew onward with Hu Liena and cut off the bat’s newly regrown head, but it blasted the vine beneath them with a stronger wave, nearly throwing them off balance.
• Hu Liena clung to Yun Feng, who teased her by asking whether his back was broad enough; she then stabbed the bat with her extended fox tail.
• The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat split into hundreds of small golden bats, and the Blood Bats attacked the vines beneath Yun Feng and Hu Liena.
• Hu Liena rushed into the swarm at extraordinary speed, surprising Yun Feng with her agility despite being a control-system Spirit Master.

• Hu Liena used her enlarged, needle-haired fox tail to kill scores of Blood Bats and drive the rest away.
