The Slaughter City, the Hell Road.
On the narrow path that could only accommodate one person at a time, two figures walked. One of them had short, blue-gold hair, a tall and upright figure, and a very handsome appearance. He exuded an aura of holiness and light, which was completely opposite to the hot, gloomy, and Evil atmosphere that permeated the path.
The other woman was dressed in a form-fitting black outfit made of very elastic fabric, which perfectly outlined her curvaceous and alluring figure. She had shoulder-length orange hair, and her beautiful face, which exuded charm, was also radiating a sharp and cold aura.
These two are Qian Xunfeng and Hu Liena.
During the period when Qian Xunfeng was injured by Bibi Dong, and Bibi Dong was then sent flying by Tang Hao, who was summoned by the Sea God's Divine Sense to save the day, he stayed in his already damaged residence for two days to recover from his injuries.
During this time, Hu Liena acted like a guard, constantly protecting Qian Xunfeng's door to prevent any Fallen One from taking the opportunity to attack Qian Xunfeng.
Qian Xunfeng saw all of this. Even without Hu Liena's protection, he would be fine. He was injured, not crippled. If there was any real danger, he could summon the Blue Silver Emperor Left Leg Bone and exhaust the soul power of that Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, and he would be healed immediately.
However, he accepted the favor, and his dislike for Hu Liena lessened considerably.
Hu Liena knew that her teacher had been utterly defeated by a Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect, but she was unaware that the Clear Sky Sect expert was actually controlled by the Sea God's Divine Sense. If she had known, it was unclear whether she would still have protected Qian Xunfeng.
Afterwards, Qian Xunfeng successfully completed the 100-round challenge in the Hell Slaughter Arena. With the purifying power of the Angel Martial Soul, he was able to stabilize his killing intent and purify his mind of bad thoughts. Hu Liena also completed the 100-round challenge in the Hell Slaughter Arena more than half a year earlier than in the original story. Afterwards, Qian Xunfeng waited for Hu Liena for some time, and the two of them challenged the Hell Road together.
Qian Xunfeng chose to challenge Hell Road together because he felt that Hu Liena was not strong enough. If she challenged it alone, she might die on Hell Road. It would be fine for him to stay in the Slaughter City a little longer, as the Slaughter City was a top-notch cultivation ground for him.
In the past two years, he has slain the Fallen One, achieved a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena to gain Soul Power, and in the process of cultivation, he has invisibly purified the Evil aura of the Slaughter City, which has also improved his Soul Power. His cultivation level has long since reached the level of quasi- Soul Saint at level 70. If it weren't for the fact that there are no Soul Beast in the Slaughter City, and he had no way to hunt and absorb them to obtain Soul Ring, he would have officially stepped into the Soul Saint realm long ago.
On the Hell Road, Qian Xunfeng suddenly stopped. His eyes, now purple-gold, narrowed as he looked at the red mist ahead and uttered a single word. "Snake."
Hu Liena's mental strength was far inferior to Qian Xunfeng's, and she didn't possess the Purple Demon Eye. She couldn't see that far into the red mist ahead. Hearing Qian Xunfeng's words, she said, "Is there a snake? First it was Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat, now it's a snake. This should be the second test of the Slaughter City. Presumably, this snake is much stronger than the previous three-headed bat."
"I'll go test the snake's strength first, you follow me."
With the Qian Xunfeng Angel Martial Soul possessing him, four snow-white wings appeared on his back, and golden light gathered in his palm, forming a golden longsword. He flew towards the red mist ahead.
A moment later, a sharp rustling sound rang out, followed by a tremor beneath their feet; the man and the snake must have started fighting.
Hu Liena, wielding two short blades, rushed forward. Soon, a dark red snake appeared before her. On the snake's head and back, there were nine protrusions, each resembling a bright red mushroom, as if blood were flowing inside. The snake's abdomen was particularly large, bulging in the narrow path, and its body length was at least ten meters.
Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent.
Qian Xunfeng flew in mid-air, holding a long sword, and fought with the snake. The golden long sword clashed with the teeth of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, and a series of ear-piercing friction sounds rang out. Not a single mark was made on the teeth of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent.
After roughly sizing up the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, Hu Liena exclaimed, "Ten meters. Qian Xunfeng, this serpent must be a ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"
"You'd better hurry over there!"
What Hu Liena knew, Qian Xunfeng naturally knew as well: an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was equivalent to Soul King among Soul Master, while a top-tier Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could be compared to Soul Saint.
With Qian Xunfeng's Soul Ring sealed and unable to use any Soul Skill, dealing with a Soul Saint would be extremely difficult. He planned to use the purifying power of his Angel Soul Power to purify the Soul Power of this snake, which had never appeared in the Spirit Hall's records, and slowly grind it down.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent let out a strange cry, and a large mouthful of red poisonous mist spewed from its mouth.
"Purify."
Qian Xunfeng immediately released his powerful Angel Soul Power, attempting to purify the red poisonous mist. However, to his astonishment, when the Angel Soul Power collided with the red poisonous mist, the two forces canceled each other out, as if they were colliding with energy. His Angel Soul Power was unable to purify the poisonous mist.
"This snake..."
Qian Xunfeng was extremely shocked. In the Spirit Master World, no matter how Martial Soul the Soul Master possessed any top-tier Martial Soul, such as the Clear Sky Hammer, the Seven Kill Sword, or the Golden Crocodile King, their Soul Power could not resist the purifying power of the Angel Martial Soul. Yet this Soul Beast could withstand it.
Qian Xunfeng looked thoughtful. If there was any martial soul on the continent whose soul power could rival that of an angel, it would only be the soul power of the Sea God. In that case, if this soul beast also became someone's martial soul on the continent, then the soul power of that martial soul could also rival that of an angel, and be on par with the six-winged angel.
The Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent let out another croaking sound. It realized that Qian Xunfeng had wings and was not easy to deal with, so it attacked Hu Liena. Hu Liena almost immediately used her life-saving Soul Skill, the Head Soul Bone Soul Skill. Two pink spiritual energy rays shot out from her eyes and hit the head of the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent that was about to smash down.
The Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent felt as if its brain had been struck by a cotton hammer. Its head swayed and crashed into the path in front of Hu Liena's feet, causing a large section of the path to collapse instantly. Hu Liena quickly retreated.
"Come with me!"
Qian Xunfeng's voice rang out, and Hu Liena looked up to see Qian Xunfeng flying towards her, extending his hand to her. Almost instinctively, Hu Liena raised her hand and shook hands with Qian Xunfeng.
The two flew down the path.
Hu Liena felt herself flying downwards and immediately came to her senses. She thought that Qian Xunfeng was going to take the opportunity to fly her towards the end of Hell Road to avoid the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent. After all, it was a top-level ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, and without the support of Soul Master Soul Ring, only Titled Douluo- level expert could probably deal with it.
"Where are you taking me?!"
Hold on tight.
Qian Xunfeng suddenly retracted his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. He focused his Soul Power on his back, and eight spider spears, each four meters long and radiating holy golden Spider Spear, unfolded behind him, like eight gleaming golden arms. The golden light shimmered, and a golden halo faintly appeared behind the Eight Spider Lances.
Qian Xunfeng planted eight Spider Spear into the rock pillars of Hell Road. A sharp scraping sound rang out, and small stones of varying sizes flew out where the Spider Spear collided with the rock pillars. The two continued downwards until they reached the scalding Blood River before stopping.
What exactly do you want to do?
Hu Liena asked, puzzled. As she approached the Blood River Blood River, the scorching heat emanating from it made her feel unbearably hot and her mind felt somewhat uncomfortable.
The next moment, Hu Liena felt a warm and bright aura coming from her. The heat and discomfort in her brain were wiped away in an instant. This was not like the purification of Angel Soul Power, but rather an erasure. It was like a strong stream of water suddenly flowing into stagnant water that had almost dried up and become turbid.
Behind Qian Xunfeng, a three-meter-tall blue humanoid phantom appeared. The blue phantom exuded a strong aura of majesty, holding a trident, and was like Angel Martial Soul, but its face was not visible.
Hu Liena's pupils widened instantly. "Twin Martial Souls!"
