Playing coy after getting a bargain, are you!
A Asura Killing Intent, like a cold wave, swept across the entire area.
All the thugs in the tavern froze, their hair standing on end, their limbs stiff as iron, and even their breathing stopped abruptly.
The fierceness, greed, and malice that had been surging in his eyes were instantly swallowed up by utter fear in the face of this chilling killing intent.
They were all ruthless men with blood on their hands, who had fled for their lives, spending their lives in killing, and had never felt such pure and terrifying Killing Aura.
This killing intent seemed to pierce straight into the soul; the slightest movement would instantly crush the soul and annihilate life.
That feels so good!
[These scumbags who bully the weak and take pleasure in killing all day long, have they finally learned to be afraid?]
[You usually run rampant in this Slaughter Town, but today you'll taste what it's like to be shrouded in death!]
[With such a lowly character, they dare call themselves thugs? They're nothing but a bunch of cowardly bullies!]
Ning Wen remained calm, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, as if the group of vicious criminals before him were nothing more than insignificant ants and dust.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin stood with his hands behind his back, his white hair fluttering, his gaze indifferent as he observed.
He was already used to it.
After a brief silence, the thugs in the tavern trembled uncontrollably. Some had their teeth chattering, and cold sweat poured down their foreheads, soaking their hair and clothes.
All the unbridled arrogance from before has vanished, leaving only a deep-seated fear.
A burly man with a face full of scars and bulging arms, who had been the most arrogant person in the tavern just now, was now weak in the knees and barely managed to stay upright by clenching his teeth.
His pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the boy before him, his voice trembling and hoarse with extreme fear. "You... who exactly are you?!"
At such a young age, his aura is terrifyingly powerful; it's simply unbelievable!
[What? Not arrogant anymore? Not chasing people away?]
[Weren't you so impressive just now? Keep yelling!]
Those who bully the weak and fear the strong instantly turn into cowards when they encounter a truly powerful person!
Ning Wen's gaze swept indifferently over the crowd, and his icy voice slowly rang out, echoing through the deathly silent tavern. "You are not worthy to know my name!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Asura Killing Aura emanating from him surged by another three percent!
Buzz--
An invisible killing force crashed down with a deafening roar!
In an instant, several of the weaker thugs in the tavern collapsed to their knees with a series of thuds, their bodies trembling violently, and they didn't even have the courage to look Ning Wen in the eye.
The remaining few were also pale-faced, their minds shaken, and their murderous aura completely dissipated, daring not to make the slightest move.
The thugs in the entire Slaughter Town rely on their ferocity and malice to run rampant, but they are incredibly fragile in the face of true powerhouses.
The Black-Clad Attendant standing to the side remained expressionless, his empty eyes showing no emotion, as if he had long been accustomed to everything happening before him and was indifferent to it all.
Chen Xin glanced sideways and said softly, "These people have been steeped in bloodlust for years, their minds are already twisted, there's no need to pay them any more attention."
Ning Wen nodded slightly, suppressing the Killing Aura of Asura that was rampant around him.
The chilling killing intent slowly faded, and the oppressive atmosphere in the tavern finally began to ease.
But a lingering silence and fear still enveloped the entire scene; none of the perpetrators dared to get up or even breathe.
[This is boring; it's too easily frightened.]
[I originally thought I'd run into some tough opponents, but they were all just all bark and no bite.]
[No wonder that for ten thousand years, the Slaughter City has been mostly populated by mediocre thugs, with very few truly powerful individuals.]
Ning Wen calmly looked at the expressionless Black-Clad Attendant and said indifferently, "Get out of the way!"
The group of thugs kneeling on the ground dared not utter a sound, their heads bowed, filled with nothing but endless awe and fear.
They knew very well that from this day forward, this Slaughter Town would have a terrifying presence that they absolutely could not afford to provoke!
Ning Wen didn't bother looking for any hidden mechanisms or secret doors.
Because he knew the entrance was right below.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Wen's Soul Power surged, and he directly struck out with a palm.
Boom--!!
A deafening roar suddenly erupted!
The hard stone ground collapsed with a roar, shattering and flying everywhere. Amidst the billowing dust, a huge, dark, and deep cave suddenly appeared before our eyes.
Below the cave entrance, gusts of cold, biting wind howled and surged upwards, carrying with them a thick atmosphere of deathly silence, bloodshed, and gloom.
Ning Wen stood at the edge of the cave entrance and looked down.
It's so deep you can't see the bottom!
"Grandpa Sword, I'm leaving."
Ning Wen looked at Chen Xin.
Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped into the endless darkness.
The feeling of weightlessness and falling lingered briefly, but after only a few meters of drop, Ning Wen's feet landed steadily on the cold, hard stone ground.
He was already in the Dark Underground Passage of Slaughter City.
The moment he entered the Slaughter City, Ning Wen felt an inexplicable surge of almost manic excitement.
[This is Asura's mark!]
[I never expected that guy to pull something like this, huh? He's probably afraid This Seat might happen to me!]
That really fits that guy's personality!
[I'll reluctantly accept This Seat!]
"..."
Ning Wen remained silent for a moment.
You're getting a good deal and then acting innocent, aren't you!
To be fair, this Asura God truly lives up to his Deity as a "protective" deity, as he even left a backup plan on him!
Of course, this is nothing compared to the act of reviving Tang San in the original story.
The underground passage was dark and damp, with cool water droplets seeping from the stone walls, falling one by one onto the bluestone floor, making a monotonous and dull dripping sound.
The stench of blood in the air grew even stronger, a mixture of decay, rust, and violent rage. Inhaling it felt like countless malevolent spirits were whispering and howling in my ears.
The narrow passageway stretched forward, with only a faint, dark red glow visible in the distance.
[Finally, I've entered the Slaughter City.]
[Next, I need to clear the Hell Slaughter Arena, obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain, and the Asura Demon Sword!]
Ning Wen took a step and slowly walked towards the direction of the firelight.
Welcome to the Slaughter City.
"This is the capital of hell, a world filled with slaughter."
"Here, you can get anything you want, but the price is your life."
Just then, a cold voice suddenly came from all directions.
Ning Wen remained calm and composed, paying no attention to the voice, and strode forward.
As he walked out of the passageway, one hundred and one people appeared before him.
They were all dressed in black armor, their faces completely covered by helmets, and one hundred of them wielded heavy swords.
The leader sat atop a tall warhorse, which was also clad in heavy black armor, giving off an extremely intimidating aura.
