Tang San: I Think I Can Kill Ye Hua
In the audience, Tang San felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"It's you again... it's you again!"
"I escaped from the Spirit Hall, and you betrayed me and killed my father!"
"I'm going down the mountain into the Slaughter City, and you're coming with me!"
"What exactly do you want?!"
Tang San's vision blurred, his mind raced, and only one thought remained.
Ye Hua's spirit lingers!
He felt that he would forever live in Ye Hua's shadow!
Tang San slumped down, his back pressed against the cold backrest, panting heavily.
Just then, a bolt of lightning cleaved through his gloomy thoughts.
Etc!
Soul Skill Slaughter City!
Tang San suddenly straightened up, his eyes suddenly brightening.
Right!
Slaughter City, rules prevail!
All Soul Skill are sealed here!
No matter how strong Ye Hua is, he couldn't possibly use those terrifying Soul Skill here!
All he can rely on now is physical strength and combat experience!
Tang San's breathing became rapid, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a wild grin.
He touched the Hidden Weapon pouch at his waist, then patted the Three-Eyed Icefire Guns wrapped in cloth.
"Ye Hua," he spat out the name through gritted teeth, "Aren't you most proud of that thing?"
"If I were to have my head blown out by a weapon I invented, wouldn't I die with my eyes wide open in disbelief?"
He became more and more excited as he thought about it, almost to the point of dancing with joy.
His Hidden Weapon are unrestricted!
In this Slaughter City, he is the true hunter!
"Just you wait," Tang San gritted his teeth, "The day you get injured, I'll take your life!"
However, before his illusion could unfold, it was shattered by the commotion on the arena.
Tang San was stunned, his shoulders trembling.
He kept his head down and didn't see Ye Hua fighting.
When he looked, the arena was full of corpses.
Ye Hua took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and gracefully stepped off the stage.
"Isn't it... that I can't use Soul Skill...?"
"That guy... how come he's so fast..."
He shivered, a sense of foreboding creeping over him.
"Preparing for the next round."
Tang San snapped back to reality.
It's his turn next.
When he took the stage, his opponents all looked at him with disdain.
"Oh, such delicate skin!"
"I just wonder if they're as powerful as that person from before."
"Brother, hold on for three more breaths before you die, don't spoil our fun!"
Tang San pursed his lips and quietly slipped his hand into his Hidden Weapon pouch.
Meanwhile, Ye Hua had already returned to Hu Liena's side.
She had applied medicine and bandages to her shoulders and legs.
"How is it?" Hu Liena raised an eyebrow.
"No challenge!" Ye Hua said disappointedly.
He was willing to do it, even without using his Soul Skill, finally someone could cause him trouble.
But the result was that he didn't even break a sweat; at best, he just loosened up his wrists.
"This group is even worse than Weijia."
"Weijia is a veteran here, better than many others."
"Too!"
Just then, Ye Hua noticed the figure standing on the arena.
Seeing that he remained silent, Hu Liena followed his gaze.
"Tang San?" Hu Liena exclaimed, her face showing undisguised disgust. "What's he doing here?"
Ye Hua didn't take it seriously, "It's probably the Divine Slaughter's Domain; he wants to use it to deal with me."
Hu Liena raised an eyebrow, "The Divine Slaughter's Domain? Him?"
The Slaughter City is not entirely populated by the corrupt; it also has its share of seekers who aspire to become stronger.
But they either died in battle or succumbed to temptation.
My teacher said that in the past hundred years, only two people have become legendary killers!
In any case, she didn't believe that Tang San would become the fifth person after her and Ye Hua!
"Tang San won't come here to die," Ye Hua saw through the deception. "Let's look at the arena."
The moment the iron gate slammed down, the other nine people engaged in a fierce battle, tacitly ignoring Tang San.
In their eyes, even if they only had half their strength left, they could easily kill him!
This disrespect infuriated Tang San!
Damn it, you bullied me before I had Hidden Weapon, and now that I've forged a complete Hidden Weapon, you still bully me!
Wouldn't all my efforts in crafting those Hidden Weapon have been for nothing?
But then Tang San raised his hand.
Buzz--
Godly Zhuge Crossbow explodes.
Puff puff puff puff!
Nine muffled thuds followed in quick succession.
A poisoned crossbow bolt pierced his body.
The poison spread, causing them to stagger and turn black.
"What?"
"Impossible!"
Within three breaths, all nine were annihilated.
Amidst countless shocked gazes, Tang San stepped down from the stage with pride.
See, this is the sense of accomplishment that comes from being the center of attention!
At least for now, he wasn't overshadowed by Ye Hua!
Tang San glanced coldly at Ye Hua, but when he saw Hu Liena there, his heart skipped a beat.
But he showed no sign of anything amiss and quietly left.
"The thing he's using looks pretty sinister," Hu Liena said, looking away. "Be careful."
Ye Hua nodded and said nothing more.
It was noon when I got back to my accommodation.
The sky Slaughter City is forever shrouded in a dark, purplish-red light, obscuring the passage of time; only the weariness of the body serves as a reminder of how much time has elapsed.
Ye Hua was invited to visit Hu Liena's residence.
Her right shoulder wound was still bleeding, and although it had been bandaged, it still caused her pain when she moved.
"Would you like some Bloody Mary?" Hu Liena took out the blood and mixed it with fruit wine.
That was what she had saved up before; mixing it with fruit wine could barely neutralize the fishy smell.
But as soon as she touched the rim of the bowl, Ye Hua pressed down on her wrist.
Don't touch that.
Hu Liena stopped moving, frowned at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Hua released his grip and pulled out a celadon bottle from the Azure Jade Bracelet.
The bottle was only the size of a thumb, and its opening was sealed with beeswax.
Shake it, and you can hear the sound of tiny particles inside.
He removed the amber, poured out a few pale blue spheres, and handed them to Hu Liena.
The peppermint candy, in the dim room, emitted a cool, herbal scent, even diluting the smell of blood.
"The air in the Slaughter City is full of poison," Ye Hua admitted. "It accumulates in our bodies through our breathing."
"Don't be fooled by those veterans who drink Bloody Mary like it's water. Once the toxins from Bloody Mary kick in, they're doomed."
"They'll either be controlled by the murderous intent and lose their minds, or they'll simply succumb to the poison and die!"
Hu Liena was startled and relaxed her fingers.
Without even grabbing it, the glass shattered.
Bright red blood spread out, thick and foul-smelling.
"I knew it," Hu Liena said with a wry smile, "My mind is getting increasingly restless; I can't stand not killing someone every day."
"Is it addictive?"
"You know that too!" Ye Hua tilted his head. "It's not that you can't quit, is it?"
Hu Liena remained silent.
She wanted to quit, but the urge to kill would surge even stronger as soon as she tried to quit. Drinking this helped suppress it.
"Eat it, it'll be good for you."
Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth.
The sugar ball melts, releasing a cool and stimulating sensation that rushes straight to the top of your head.
The soreness in my eyes subsided, and the throbbing, dull pain in my temples almost disappeared as well.
Ye Hua placed the celadon bottle in her hand, "Just hold it in your mouth, don't chew it. You can eat it if you want to drink Bloody Mary later."
This was made using the Immortal Deer Mint grown in his Hundred Herbs Garden; all the ingredients are century-old Immortal Herb.
It can refresh the mind, improve concentration, and even dispel negative emotions!
"Thank you!" Hu Liena clutched the porcelain bottle tightly. "I owe you my life."
The Slaughter City erodes one's will, and she wasn't sure if she could make it through Hell Road without being able to give up Bloody Mary.
"But it won't affect you, will it?" she couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it has an impact. I only have two bottles, I'll give you half!"
Just kidding, I have two hundred bottles, which cost twenty plants of Immortal Deer Mint.
"Heavens!" Hu Liena exclaimed, feeling guilty, "We were on the battlefield just last year!"
Ye Hua grinned mischievously, "Then aren't you going to repay me?"
"How can we repay you?" Hu Liena asked hurriedly.
"What do you think? This is Slaughter City outside of morality!"
Hu Liena immediately became alert, "You're lusting after my body!!!"
