Douluo: Shocked, the Most Beautiful Bride Qian Renxue!

"Prepare to die!"

Zhu Kanglie gripped the eight-meter-long rake firmly in his hands before charging toward Li Jiutian!

"You're courting death!"

"Right arm spirit bone skill, Holy Light Sky-Piercing Cannon!"

Li Jiutian's expression darkened as a massive golden formation appeared before him, with the ancient character for "cannon" inscribed in its center.

He then swung his right fist, and the golden formation shattered upon impact!

Once the golden formation broke, all its power compressed into Li Jiutian's right fist.

Watching the incoming rake, Li Jiutian let out a thunderous shout: "Explode!"

He swung his right fist with all his might, and the power contained within the formation erupted instantly!

"BOOM!"

The immense spirit power formed a golden sky-piercing cannon, and in a mere instant, the surrounding valley was razed to the ground!

Zhu Kanglie was caught in the center of the massive blast and instantly reduced to ashes!

"Is... is this the destructive power of a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone skill..."

Hearing the explosion, Hu Liena stepped out of the carriage and stood stunned at the scene before her.

The mountains on both sides had been leveled, and the fissure in the ground carved by the cannon blast stretched as far as the eye could see.

Even the clouds in the sky had been scattered by that single shot!

Never mind Hu Liena; even Li Jiutian himself hadn't expected the destructive power of his right arm spirit bone skill to be this high.

"Nana, why are you just standing there like a fool?"

"The trash has been cleared, let's continue our journey!"

Seeing Hu Liena standing frozen in place, Li Jiutian broke the silence and climbed back into the carriage first.

"This... even a Titled Douluo's ninth spirit skill might not be as strong as Xiaotian's spirit bone skill!"

Hu Liena glanced at the scattered clouds in the sky, sighed in amazement, and then returned to the carriage.

Late at night.

In a remote, secluded village.

Li Jiutian and his companion stepped out of the carriage.

"The entrance to Slaughter City should be right here!"

Hu Liena looked at the map in her hands and said seriously.

The village was quite strange, permeated with a deathly, stagnant aura.

Within the vast village, every household had their lights off and doors tightly shut. Only one tavern remained brightly lit throughout the night, with people constantly coming and going, appearing extremely lively.

"It seems that tavern is the entrance. Let's go!"

After Li Jiutian finished speaking, he led Hu Liena toward the tavern.

As soon as they stepped inside, a pungent smell of alcohol and rot rushed to meet them.

At that moment, there were about thirty people in the tavern drinking; judging by their appearances, none of them were decent folk.

"Give us two Bloody Marys!"

Hu Liena walked to the counter and said coldly.

"Certainly. You two go find a seat first; the Bloody Marys will be right over!"

The young man at the counter replied with a smile.

Hu Liena nodded slightly, and the two sat at a table in the corner, beginning to chat idly.

"Beauty, it's so dangerous for you to come to a place like this alone. Why don't you let big brother protect you!"

Just then, a burly man walked over, leering at Hu Liena, and reached out a filthy hand to touch her cheek.

"Swish!"

Hu Liena drew a short red blade, and the burly man's filthy hand fell to the floor.

"Nana, you really are popular along this journey!"

Li Jiutian shook his head helplessly.

It's time for the God-Slaying Hammer to take the stage!

"Ah!"

The burly man let out a miserable shriek, rolling on the ground in agony.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Hu Liena snorted coldly.

"Little lady, you've got some skills!"

"Brothers, come with me!"

Not far away, a bald man stood up. His spirit rings descended in response; he was a Spirit King at level 54.

Following him, people from other tables also rose. It turned out that all the customers in this entire tavern were together!

Just as Hu Liena was about to draw her short blade, Li Jiutian stopped her with one hand. "Let me handle it!"

"Oh, you pretty boy wants to play hero and save the damsel?"

The Spirit King looked at the fair-skinned Li Jiutian with disdain, then released his spirit.

"My Iron-Armored Rhino's defense is second to none on the continent. Die!"

"Fifth Spirit Skill, Savage Impact!"

A giant rhino horn formed from spirit power grew from the Spirit King's head and rapidly charged towards him!

"These idiots, who else could they provoke but us!"

"Knowing Xiao Tian's personality, these people probably won't escape death!"

Hu Liena lounged lazily on the table, watching the battle that held no suspense.

"Heh heh, is this kid scared silly by my Iron-Armored Rhino? He's just standing there motionless!"

"Don't worry, I'll send you to the afterlife with my rhino horn right away!"

At this moment, the rhino horn above the Spirit King's head was less than 30 centimeters from Li Jiutian's body.

"A mere Spirit King dares to be presumptuous before me?"

Li Jiutian used a single finger to effortlessly block the tip of the rhino horn.

"How... how is this possible!"

The Spirit King exclaimed in disbelief. He began to increase his strength, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't advance an inch further!

"Flash Gold Light!"

Li Jiutian's eyes flashed with brilliance, and then he shot a golden beam of light towards the Spirit King!

"Who... who exactly are you!"

The Spirit King's spiritual power shattered. His eyes widened like copper bells, and he fainted to the ground.

Immediately after, his body ignited with golden flames, quickly burning him to ashes!

"The devil is here, run!"

"Help... help us!"

After the Spirit King died, the other spirit masters began to flee out the door in a panic!

However, Li Jiutian remained unmoved as he watched these fleeing spirit masters. A sinister smile flashed across his lips.

"Xiao Tian, you're letting them go?"

Hu Liena asked with some surprise.

As soon as she spoke, screams of agony echoed from outside the tavern.

After a few dozen seconds.

"Ah!"

With the final scream, the entire tavern fell silent.

All the spirit masters who had fled were turned into charcoal by the Flame Dragon!

"Your... your Bloody Mary is here!"

The young man at the front desk tremblingly placed two glasses of Bloody Mary on their table.

He had been working in this tavern for several years and had seen ruthless people, but never anyone this ruthless. They had killed all the customers!

"Where is the entrance to Slaughter City?" Li Jiutian asked in a deep voice.

"After you finish drinking this Bloody Mary, you'll naturally know!"

The young man at the front desk replied respectfully.

Hu Liena brought her small nose close to smell it and almost vomited up the meal she had eaten during the day.

"Nana, are you alright?"

Li Jiutian asked with a smile.

"What is Bloody Mary made of? This smell is absolutely foul!"

Looking at the bubbling red liquid in the cup, Hu Liena frowned deeply.

"To become stronger, what's a cup of Bloody Mary?"

Li Jiutian pinched his nose and drank the entire glass of Bloody Mary in one gulp.

"Mm!"

Hu Liena recalled the expectations Bibi Dong held for her, and then she, too, downed the drink in one breath.

"Two guests, this is the entrance to Slaughter City."

The young man at the front desk pried up six wooden planks on the floor, and a dazzling red light instantly erupted from beneath!

"I truly never expected Slaughter City to be located beneath this tavern!"

Hu Liena gazed at the red light and exclaimed.

When the two walked over to take a closer look, they discovered that beneath the red light lay a bottomless abyss, nothing but endless darkness.

"Let's go, we'll jump down together!"

After Li Jiutian finished speaking, he took her small hand and leaped into the red light!

A powerful surge of mental energy instantly knocked the two of them unconscious!

Even Li Jiutian, whose mental strength was comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, could not withstand such an overbearing force!

It was unknown how much time had passed before the two gradually stirred from their stupor.

"Xiaotian, have we arrived at Slaughter City?"

Hu Liena clutched her head as she rose, scanning her surroundings with vigilance.

The area around them was desolate, and a faint, cold wind blew against them, carrying a bone-chilling frost.

Not far ahead, a massive city stood, with a dark castle in its center that was particularly striking.

The city was surrounded by iron walls over a hundred meters high, resembling a birdcage; the only way to enter or exit was through the single large iron gate at the front of the city.

"That must be Slaughter City!"
