"Stop, stop!" Scott shouted, sounding somewhat timid but actually blustering.
Qian Xunfeng frowned as she looked at him. At this moment, Scott's helmet had fallen off, revealing a ferocious middle-aged man's face. His eyes were now filled with terror as he looked at Qian Xunfeng. Clearly, he couldn't understand why this young man was so terrifying.
"What, do you want me to kill you that badly?"
"No, I'm not stopping you. You've already passed my test. You're qualified to enter the Slaughter City." The Terror Knight trembled as he handed a black plaque to Qian Xunfeng casually took it. The plaque was engraved with a skull and a number below it: 8887.
"This is your proof of Slaughter City. Please enter the city; someone will guide you at the city gate."
As Qian Xunfeng walked towards the City of Slaughter City, he kept thinking about what his father, Qian Daoliu, had said before arranging for him to come here. The Slaughter City was not only the best place on the continent to hone combat experience and increase his knowledge, but also an excellent place to increase one's knowledge.
He grew up in Spirit City from childhood to adulthood. Apart from hunting Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring, being taken by his mother Bo Saixi to Sea God Island to worship the Sea God, and going to the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena to give Shrek Academy a hard time, he had hardly ever been outside.
He was convinced that such a place could hone combat experience, but how could he increase his experience?
He remembered that the Slaughter City was a refuge, or prison, for the Evil of the continent, allowing them to be dealt with on their own.
This would not only reduce the Soul Master the Spirit Hall would need to deploy to capture the Fallen One, but also minimize the Fallen One' resistance and desperate counterattacks, thus reducing the loss of manpower, resources, and finances. All that would be needed is to provide food to the Slaughter City.
Some desperate criminals, undetected by the Spirit Hall, would travel to the Slaughter City on their own, which could reduce the persecution of the mainland's people.
Overall, the Slaughter City, touted as a paradise for the Fallen One, is actually the last lifeline left by the Spirit Hall for the villains on the continent, to prevent them from fighting back desperately or even establishing forces to secretly oppose the Spirit Hall.
Spending time with Evil people broadens one's horizons—was his father joking?
Filled with doubt, Qian Xunfeng arrived at the gates of the Slaughter City. Two rows of Black Armored Warrior stood silently there. Before Qian Xunfeng could show his identity token, a woman with a black veil walked out from inside.
"Welcome to the Slaughter City." The woman's voice was very pleasant. She stepped aside in front of Qian Xunfeng and gestured for him to enter.
Qian Xunfeng's gaze turned purple-gold again. He activated the Purple Demon Eye of the Mustard Seed Realm, and his eyesight pierced through the black veil to look at the woman's face. The woman was beautiful and would be considered the most beautiful girl in an ordinary Advanced Soul Master Academy. However, his gaze swept over the two rows of Black Armored Warrior, but he could not see through their Soul Power fluctuations.
His cultivation had reached the level of Soul Emperor at level 66, yet he couldn't see through the Soul Power of these two rows of black-clad warriors. This showed that the soul Soul Power level of these black-clad warriors was above his. He also couldn't see through the Soul Power fluctuations of the previous 101 black-armored knights. This showed just how many desperate people the Slaughter City had gathered away from the continent, and how much disaster had been reduced for the continent.
Regardless of how many Fallen One are within the City of Slaughter City, just these 100-plus black-clad warriors and knights, along with the King of Slaughter, if this force were to leave the Slaughter City and wreak havoc on the continent, aside from the Spirit Hall and the two great empires immediately mobilizing a million troops, probably no force on the continent could stop them.
"I am your guide. Please feel free to ask me anything you don't understand. I will answer all your questions within twelve hours. After twelve hours, this will be your living quarters. You will officially become a member of the Slaughter City."
After Qian Xunfeng understood the rules and operating mechanism of the Slaughter City, he did not go to the Hell Slaughter Arena immediately. Instead, he followed the Black-Veiled Woman and, like an observer, toured the Outer City of the Slaughter City before entering the Inner City.
Entering the Inner City Inner City, which could indeed be described as a luxurious metropolis, or rather, a decadent place, just as the girl in black veil said, with her by his side, although many unfriendly gazes fell upon Qian Xunfeng, no one came forward to harass him.
Here, Qian Xunfeng's heart clenched, and he saw so many things he had never seen before.
Qian Xunfeng's gaze swept across the streets of the Inner City. Although he had no food in his stomach, he almost vomited several times.
He suddenly realized that in this Slaughter City, he didn't need to consciously control it; his killing intent would surge up endlessly. It seemed that only through killing could he release the pent-up rage within him.
"Aren't you going to do anything about this? You just let these guys relieve themselves wherever they want."
Qian Xunfeng frowned deeply. The streets of the Slaughter City were already disgusting to the extreme, and the groans, screams, and shrieks that occasionally emanated from the alleys around him were, needless to say, far more disgusting than what was happening on the streets.
The Black-Veiled Woman curled a mocking smile at the corner of her lips, seemingly ridiculing Qian Xunfeng's shallow knowledge. Her gaze remained indifferent, as if she were used to everything that was happening in the Inner City.
"Didn't I tell you that the rule of the Slaughter City is that there are no rules? Here, as long as you don't offend the great King of Slaughter, and as long as you have the strength and are not afraid of death, you can do anything?"
Qian Xunfeng's eyes showed a thoughtful expression; without rules, anything could be done...
As we were walking, suddenly, there was some commotion ahead. At least several dozen people were gathered there, and screams could be heard coming from among them.
A spurt of blood suddenly gushed out, and the onlookers parted to make way for a figure who slowly emerged from within. It was a young girl, dressed entirely in black, her long hair neatly combed down her back and tied with a rope. She held a short sword, about a foot long, its blade gleaming coldly.
A pair of beautiful eyes, brimming with an alluring charm, shone brightly. Compared to the women he had seen on the street before, she was like a pure white lotus rising from the mud, untouched by its surroundings. This person was none other than Hu Liena, the younger sister of his teacher, Xie Yue.
Qian Xunfeng only noticed Hu Liena for a moment. Perhaps it was because he was too conspicuous, as his white clothes were completely different from the black-clad attire of the Fallen One of the Slaughter City. Hu Liena's gaze was quickly drawn to him as well.
Their eyes met, Hu Liena's face suddenly froze, her eyes flashing with surprise and delight, her heart beating faster involuntarily.
The Fallen One could survive in the Inner City of the Slaughter City were all highly experienced in combat. Taking advantage of Hu Liena's momentary daze, one of the Fallen One raised his short blade and was about to stab Hu Liena hard in the back of the neck.
"Spirit Condensation Head Soul Bone Skill, Purple Demon Divine Light."
Within Qian Xunfeng 'Sea of Consciousness, immense spiritual power converged in his eyes, and a blue-purple ray formed entirely of spiritual power erupted forth. The power of this spiritual ray was so great that the ground beneath his feet cracked.
His mental energy passed through the Fallen One was about to attack Hu Liena, as well as several other Fallen One were standing close to him. The next moment, these Fallen One screamed in agony, blood gushing from their seven orifices, and collapsed to the ground, their life force rapidly fading away.
They had no physical injuries, but their Sea of Consciousness were shattered by Qian Xunfeng's Head Soul Bone technique.
