"If the place she mentioned really has the God-Slaying Hammer technique, then we'll have hit the jackpot. If it doesn't, we can just treat it as a sightseeing trip near Slaughter City!"
Hu Liena chimed in.
"If that place really does have the God-Slaying Hammer technique, I'll grant you one request!"
"If you dare deceive me, I won't kill you. But you won't last long in Slaughter City anyway!"
Li Jiutian said coldly. In truth, he was all bark and no bite. Since the girl had come to him of her own accord, he couldn't just leave her in the lurch.
"By the way, are you really so sure Xiao Tian will take you out of Slaughter City?"
Hu Liena asked.
"Of course. I'm a good judge of character!"
"Then I'll take you to that place tomorrow!"
Bai Wanting looked at Li Jiutian, then took off her black jacket. Beneath it, she wore a white dress.
Her chest was more than two sizes bigger than Hu Liena's. No wonder the fallen ones had set their sights on her.
With a beauty like her, what man wouldn't drool at the sight?
"Go take a bath first, then you can sleep in my room. From now on, big sister will protect you!"
Hu Liena held her small hand and spoke earnestly.
"Mm!"
Bai Wanting nodded quickly, then ran off to bathe.
Seeing Li Jiutian frowning, Hu Liena asked in confusion, "Xiao Tian, is something still bothering you?"
"Hopefully I'm just overthinking it. Let's hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow!"
"It's already the middle of the night. Hurry back and get some sleep!"
After speaking, Li Jiutian returned to his room and lay down on the big bed.
The next morning.
Since Slaughter City was underground, day and night were indistinguishable. It was pitch-black all the time.
Bai Wanting rubbed her eyes and sat up lazily. It was the best night's sleep she'd ever had.
The two girls came out of the room and saw that Li Jiutian had already dressed in his black brocade robe. He was sitting alone at the dining table.
Two portions of hamburgers and milk were laid out on the table. The burgers were filled with beef.
"You're up. Hurry and eat!"
"Once we're done, we can set out!"
Li Jiutian smiled warmly.
Bai Wanting looked at her portion on the table, her heart warming. Then she dug in.
"This is delicious! Even better than the food at the restaurants outside!"
Hu Liena took a bite and praised it.
"If it's good, have some more!"
"Wanting, you trust me that much?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll get the technique and then abandon you?"
Li Jiutian looked at her teasingly.
"I'm not afraid. My instincts tell me you're not that kind of person!"
"Especially your eyes. There's not a trace of lechery in them when you look at me. You're nothing like those sleazy fallen ones."
Bai Wanting set down the half-eaten burger and gazed at him, looking rather lovestruck.
Li Jiutian only let the faintest smile touch his lips, then fell silent.
He had been reborn in Douluo Continent for ten years. What kind of beauty hadn't he seen?
Besides, he'd already devoted all his romantic attention to Qian Renxue. Naturally, he no longer looked at other women that way.
In his eyes, Qian Renxue was the most beautiful woman in all of Douluo Continent!
But there was no denying that Douluo Continent was full of beauties. Even a random attendant at an auction house could outshine most actresses on Blue Star.
For example, Dilraba Dilmurat, Gulinazha, and Yang Mi were all less than half as beautiful as the auction house attendants.
"Burp~"
The two girls burped with satisfaction. They'd polished off the extra-large beef burgers down to the last bite.
"Brother Tian, let's go!"
After saying this, Bai Wanting confidently took the lead.
With Li Jiutian as her powerful backer, she naturally wasn't afraid of those fallen ones harassing her anymore.
"Let's go, then!"
Li Jiutian spoke and followed close behind her with Hu Liena.
Just then, several fallen ones who didn't know what was good for them blocked Bai Wanting's way. Their eyes were fixed on her ample chest as they leered and whispered among themselves.
"Well, well, if it isn't 8912! Where've you been hiding these past few days, avoiding your big brothers?"
"Who knew you'd developed so well? Come on, let me have a closer look!"
"Big brother, that blonde chick is a stunner too!"
These fallen ones hadn't watched yesterday's match, so they had no idea how terrifying Li Jiutian and Hu Liena were.
"Ptui!"
"Brother Tian, these are the beasts who keep trying to molest me!"
Bai Wanting spat toward the man at the front, then quickly ducked behind Li Jiutian.
"You little slut, you dare spit at me? Brothers, let's get them!"
"Once we kill this pretty boy, we'll take turns with these two chicks a hundred times every day!"
After saying this, the fallen one in front summoned his Black-Haired Macaque Martial Soul and charged straight at Li Jiutian!
"You're asking for death!"
Li Jiutian summoned the God-Slaying Hammer and swung it fiercely at the fallen one!
"Boom!"
How could an ordinary Soul Emperor withstand the God-Slaying Hammer's tremendous might? His skull caved in at once, and he collapsed to the ground. Before long, he was dead.
"A m-monster! Run!"
The other fallen ones saw their boss killed with a single blow and scattered in every direction!
In just a few breaths, Li Jiutian had sent every one of them to meet the King of Hell!
"S-so strong!"
Bai Wanting stood rooted to the spot, gazing at Li Jiutian's back as if she were looking at a prince on a white horse.
Those thugs who'd harassed her for over half a month had all been hammered to death by him in less than two minutes!
Other fallen ones cowered in the corners, looking at Li Jiutian in trepidation, afraid of provoking him.
After all, killing was no crime in Slaughter City. The strong had absolute power.
"Let's go!"
Li Jiutian said calmly, then walked ahead without a care.
"Xiao Tian's amazing, isn't he? Aside from the King of Slaughter, no one here is his match!"
Hu Liena smiled faintly, took Bai Wanting's hand, and followed close behind him.
At the northernmost end of Slaughter City.
Inside a gloomy forest.
Li Jiutian and the others reached the edge of the woods and stopped.
"Brother Tian, why have we stopped? I remember that scroll is a little farther in, deeper in the woods!"
Bai Wanting scratched her head in confusion.
"Shining Golden Eyes!"
Li Jiutian said in a low voice. His eyes flashed with golden light, and he saw the scroll Bai Wanting had mentioned ten kilometers away!
The scroll was made from a piece of old parchment. A purple force enveloped it, leaving it floating in midair.
A gigantic Soul Beast stood beside the scroll, ten meters tall!
Purple light shrouded its body. It wore black armor, and its eyes glowed red, sending a chill through anyone who looked at it!
Its massive claws looked capable of tearing steel apart!
Only a pair of blood-red eyes could be made out on its face. The rest of its features were blurred.
Its lower half was a mass of purple flames, and it floated in midair!
"What kind of Soul Beast is that, and why is it guarding the scroll?"
"Nana, take Wanting and leave first. This could get ugly!"
Li Jiutian swallowed, staring at the Soul Beast. For the first time, he felt fear in his heart!
Chapter 45: Seven Styles of God Slaying!
"Is there danger up ahead?"
Hu Liena furrowed her brows. It was the first time she'd seen Li Jiutian so tense.
"There really is a scroll up ahead, but there's a Soul Beast beside it, and it looks incredibly tough to deal with."
"You two should head back to the villa first. I have my own way of getting the scroll."
Li Jiutian spoke earnestly.
"Then be careful. Don't push yourself too hard!"
Hu Liena nodded slightly, then took Bai Wanting back toward the villa.
"That's strange. I hid in these woods back then, but I never saw any Soul Beast!"
Bai Wanting scratched her head in confusion.
After the two girls had walked away, Li Jiutian thought, That Soul Beast must have at least eighty thousand years of cultivation. I wonder if I can beat it!
Li Jiutian knew all too well that without the God-Slaying Hammer technique, he couldn't bring out the hammer's true power.
Now that the arrow was on the bowstring, he had no choice but to let it fly. No matter how dangerous it was up ahead, he had to get that scroll!
Li Jiutian gripped the God-Slaying Hammer and rushed toward the scroll!
Seeing a human charging toward it, the Asura Guard roared and immediately swung a claw at him!
"It really is trying to stop me from taking the scroll!"
"Boom!"
The God-Slaying Hammer struck its claw, unleashing a tremendous surge of Soul Power. Li Jiutian was sent flying a hundred meters away! The Asura Guard's enormous claw, by contrast, remained completely unscathed!
Just then, red light shimmered across Li Jiutian's body. The Asura Guard's killing intent had boosted his strength by thirty percent!
The Asura Guard glared viciously at the human before it, refusing to leave the scroll's side for even a step!
"Damn it! If my Soul Skills weren't restricted in Slaughter City, I'd have a hundred ways to get that scroll!"
"This Soul Beast is incredibly troublesome. If I keep fighting it, we'll both end up badly hurt. And if the fallen ones discover me then, I'll be in dire straits!"
