Fighting Oneself

"You are indeed quite different."

Tang Chen's eyes swept straight toward Lin Yi, and he offered a knowing smile.

"I have never seen anyone arrive in Slaughter City and still wish to maintain their sanity. Since you have this intent, I will lend you a hand. Those who survive the Hell Road have all experienced immense slaughter; if you wish to maintain a normal heart, you must fight without using the power of the God of Slaughter."

"Fight without using the power of the God of Slaughter?"

Lin Yi was somewhat confused by this.

"Once one has entered Slaughter City, even someone as strong as Tang San inevitably carries the power of slaughter. How is one to fight without employing it?"

"That is your business."

Tang Chen smiled faintly and stroked his beard.

"All I can do is point you toward a direction. As for whether that direction is correct, that depends on whether you can realize it yourself. Once you succeed, the God of Slaughter Domain of Slaughter City will be completely conquered by you, and by then, people from all corners of the world will bow before you."

"I have no interest in that."

Lin Yi waved his hand, his brow furrowing.

"According to your meaning, not using the power of slaughter means I cannot harbor the intent to kill, right?"

"Correct, but also incorrect."

Tang Chen walked forward again, his eyes carrying a hint of depth.

"To survive in Slaughter City, besides possessing great strength, using the power of slaughter is inevitable. What you must do is not let hatred and the thoughts of slaughter fill your inner heart. If you do not wish to kill, but kill out of self-preservation, that cannot be considered a violation of what I have said."

This sounded a bit like playing the rogue.

Lin Yi's brows were tightly knit; he knew that once he entered the Hell Road, an almost unavoidable crisis awaited him.

"Well? Do you still decide to challenge the path of using the power of slaughter without being tainted by a shred of malice?"

Tang Chen looked at this young man with great interest, his gaze carrying a measure of anticipation.

He knew that given Lin Yi's temperament, he would never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and would certainly make plans to strive for perfection.

However, whether these plans had any possibility of success, even Tang Chen himself was likely unsure.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Chen thought it over repeatedly, but still could not help but speak up.

"I say, you actually don't have to take such a huge risk. As long as you can use the God of Slaughter Domain opened by the power of slaughter, why bother with so much else?"

"But I need to strive for perfection."

Lin Yi's gaze remained firm, and he smiled indifferently.

"I have never believed that I would be unable to break through the so-called limits set by others. Therefore, at this moment, I will certainly have my own achievements. Now, please open the Hell Road."

"Good!"

Tang Chen nodded toward Lin Yi.

"You have backbone. Since that is the case, I will not stop you. I know that someone with your personality would never yield to some future, so at this moment, whether to go or stay, I leave the choice to you!"

As he spoke, Tang Chen used his own God of Slaughter power to open the Hell Road.

As the Hell Road opened, Lin Yi also saw those who lacked the strength become sacrifices to the path; the blood of individuals instantly stained the Hell Road red.

Although he was somewhat weary of this place filled with the stench of blood, Lin Yi knew he had no chance to retreat.

Taking a deep breath, he leaped onto that narrow Hell Road, heading alone toward the unknown realm.

"Will he be alright?"

Staying in the God Realm, Huang Ruolin and Zhao Zhiying were both deeply worried, their eyes fixed intently on the Sea of Consciousness opened by Huo Yuhao.

"Rest assured."

Huo Yuhao smiled calmly. "Although this person Lin Yi is a bit troublesome, one cannot say his confidence is blind. I am actually quite at ease with him walking the Hell Road."

"At ease?"

Both women turned their gazes toward him at the same time. "You yourselves have said how terrifying this Hell Road is. No matter how lacking our power is, we can still feel the sense of danger lurking everywhere. How can we be at ease?"

"Is being impatient of any use?"

Bibi Dong snorted from the side, her gaze darkening.

"It is not that I want to lecture you, but your panicked appearance actually makes it easier for you to cause us trouble. You must know that for the path Lin Yi has chosen now, apart from himself, none of us know the answer."

These words moved their hearts.

Zhao Zhiying pondered for a long time before patting Huang Ruolin on the shoulder.

"We were the ones who chose Lin Yi as our husband, so we must endure it regardless of whether it is good or bad. If we remain this agitated, in the end, it will only make everyone here feel pressured. Lin Yi, he will have no problems!"

"Sister!"

Huang Ruolin looked at Zhao Zhiying earnestly and pursed her lips slightly.

"Although you are right, I am somewhat unwilling to accept it, I..."

"Believe in me."

Zhao Zhiying smiled at her again.

"Lin Yi is walking the Hell Road because he needs to go further. As the ones he loves, we should not hinder his steps. Otherwise, how is this any different from forcibly binding him? Would he be happy?"
