Absolute Suppression

Tens of thousands of duelists charged toward Lin Yi in an instant, but he didn't retreat in the slightest. Instead, he went straight to meet them.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Dragon Storm!"

A golden vortex spun in a relentless spiral, sweeping up everyone who charged toward him. Their bodies were like tattered scraps of cloth, slashed with thousands upon thousands of wounds by the golden light.

In an instant, the entire arena in Slaughter City filled with wave after wave of cries of agony.

"King of Slaughter."

The woman overseeing everything immediately dropped to her knees before Tang Chen.

"This time, the Dragon God's successor is certain to cause a huge commotion here. Are we really going to stand by and do nothing?"

"Do you think you can stop him?"

The King of Slaughter gave a cold laugh. He rested one hand on his waist, his gaze growing much more solemn.

"Even I may not be able to do what he can. Let's wait and see."

By the time the golden tornado vanished, only three thousand people remained in the arena.

Lin Yi saw that those three thousand were holding on through their powerful Soul Power.

It seemed they were no ordinary opponents. The real test was about to begin!

"Didn't expect you to be pretty impressive, kid!"

The three thousand-plus people instantly lined up in a straight row. As they looked at Lin Yi, a sinister smile curled at the corners of their mouths.

"But no matter how capable you are, you'll still lose when you face all of us."

"Martial Soul Fusion!"

Watching them fuse all their Martial Souls together, Lin Yi wasn't afraid. He simply unleashed his sixth Soul Skill.

He hadn't even given this Soul Skill a name, since he didn't yet know whether it could win.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yi swooped straight toward them. Before they could prepare, he was like a sharp sword, stirring up a storm and smashing their fused skill to pieces.

As the three thousand-plus people scattered all at once, Lin Yi didn't hesitate for an instant. He struck and killed them all in one blow.

The bodies falling like snowflakes left even the King of Slaughter feeling moved.

The Dragon God's power truly couldn't be underestimated. Even with only one divine ring, it still possessed an irresistible might.

After confirming that everyone had been defeated, the King of Slaughter immediately declared Lin Yi the new Slaughter God.

He slowly walked over to Lin Yi and nodded at him.

"Young man, you really are an excellent candidate. No wonder the Dragon God chose you. But you're already a god. Do you still intend to take the Hell Road?"

"Of course I'm going to take the Hell Road."

Lin Yi smiled faintly at him. "I came here to temper myself. But before I leave, I'd like to ask you something: how can I become someone like you, filled with Slaughter Aura yet still clearheaded?"

The King of Slaughter, Tang Chen, looked a little surprised. He chuckled, took two steps forward, and spoke.

"I never thought you'd have the nerve to ask me that. Do you know that everyone who asked me before has died, except for Tang San?"

"I know."

Lin Yi smiled again.

"But I'm not afraid of dying. I can wait patiently for your answer."

"Kid, you really are impressive."

Tang Chen shook his head lightly, clenched his fist, then spoke.

"I can tell you everything you want to know, but you must become an honorary elder of Slaughter City. I need your power to protect Slaughter City from being suppressed by others."

Lin Yi furrowed his brows. "If I become an honorary elder, will something be absorbed from me?"

"No, you won't have to give up anything."

Tang Chen paused, then continued.

"I only want you to return to Slaughter City from time to time and suppress any rebellious crowds. As for everything else, I can handle it myself. Why would I need your help?"

"That's good."

Lin Yi nodded at him. "In that case, I don't mind becoming an honorary elder."

"You'd better think it through."

Tang Chen looked at him again. "Once you truly agree, there'll be no turning back."

"I know."

Lin Yi met his gaze again, his expression resolute.

"I won't regret a decision I've made, so there's no need to test me over and over. It's pointless."

"Good lad. You really are a lucky star Tang San sent me. Though you've killed so many people, I think with your strength, it doesn't matter how many more there are. After all, Slaughter City finally has an honorary elder."

"Enough."

Lin Yi cut Tang Chen off and looked at him again.

"I only want to know how I can become as strong as you, able to suppress others with my aura alone."

"Young man, you're already a Slaughter God. You should know that when you're consumed by hatred, your resentment becomes your greatest weapon. Didn't you notice that when you were killing just now?"

"But that's not what I want."

Lin Yi answered firmly.

"I want absolute victory, not success gained by losing my reason. Winning by turning into a beast is absolutely not the right path!"
