Tang Chen is a threat after all.
Whenever he thought about making a move against Tang San and his father in the future, Yu Tianling could not help thinking of Tang Chen, who currently served as the King of Slaughter in Slaughter City.
Tang Chen, the previous sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, successor to the Asura God, and King of Slaughter of Slaughter City, wielded the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. A level ninety-nine Power Attack System Demigod Peerless Douluo nicknamed "Invincible on Land," he was truly incomparably powerful.
Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, Spirit Hall's adjudication elder, were known as the two towering peaks of the Soul Master World. They had once traveled together to Sea God Island, where Tang Chen fell in love with its high priestess, Bo Saixi. Having misunderstood Bo Saixi's veiled confession, Tang Chen made a vow: "Until I become a god, I will not return." In Slaughter City, Tang Chen found the Asura God's inheritance and began the Asura Nine Trials, only to fall victim to the Rakshasa God's secret interference during the trials. In the Eighth Trial, the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King parasitized him, and he became the King of Slaughter of Slaughter City.
Although he held Tang San and his father in utter contempt, Yu Tianling greatly admired Tang Chen.
Had Tang Chen not been caught up in the grudge between the Rakshasa God and the Asura God back then, the first god of this era probably would not have been Qian Renxue, the Angel God. Spirit Hall might not have developed to this extent either.
Of course, an enemy was an enemy. Even if he admired him, if Tang Chen stood in his way, he would show no mercy and try every possible means to kill him.
For now, the best approach was to keep Tang Chen in Slaughter City. The Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King's deadly poison had long since eaten away at his body anyway. Even if he remained alive, he did not have much time left.
The carriage continued racing at full speed toward the town where Slaughter City lay, in the wilderness of the far west.
A month later, the carriage slowly arrived at an exceedingly sinister town.
"We're finally here!"
The three, already fully rested, jumped eagerly out of the carriage and surveyed their surroundings.
A blood-red moon hung overhead, and there was not a trace of green vegetation around them. The place was filled with deathly stillness.
At that moment, the carriage behind them quietly departed, heading back to the previous town to await their return. Even a Titled Douluo would not want to linger in this town without reason.
Yu Tianling and the two women exchanged smiles, then walked into the town together. Their journey of slaughter had begun!
The people walking through the town resembled corpses, not just in their eyes, but even in the presence emanating from their bodies. Yet everyone took it in stride. Only when they saw Yu Tianling and the two women did their eyes stir slightly, a hint of mockery touching their lips.
The three ignored what they saw. Under Yu Tianling's lead, they went straight to the tavern described in the original work. It was very easy to find, right in the middle of town-the one and only establishment, with no branches.
The air inside the tavern was foul, and its decor was indeed black. The moment they entered, they felt a dark, sinister chill.
The tavern was roughly seventy to eighty percent full. Although the air was somewhat foul, almost no one spoke, making it seem very quiet.
Hearing the sound at the entrance, many people glanced at them before paying them no further attention, continuing to swirl the cups in their hands. The cups contained murky liquid that gave off a thick, bloody smell. Clearly, this was Slaughter City's unique Bloody Mary. Only by drinking it could one meet the requirements for entering Slaughter City. Otherwise, one would be breaking the rules and would receive a lesson from the Law Enforcement Team after entering.
Yu Tianling and the two women calmly found seats in a corner and sat down.
Then a black-clad waiter with an indifferent expression approached.
"What would you like?"
Yu Tianling said coldly, "Bring me three Bloody Marys."
The waiter's expression shifted slightly at his words. He was about to say something, but when he saw Yu Tianling's murderous gaze, he ultimately said nothing and turned away.
He clearly understood that Yu Tianling meant the three of them intended to enter Slaughter City.
A short while later, three cups of the same liquid most of those present were drinking were brought over.
Yu Tianling said nothing more. He picked his up and drained it in one gulp, his expression unchanged.
Although
Seeing this, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing followed suit. The moment the liquid entered their mouths, both women frowned. They had clearly guessed what they were drinking, but ultimately swallowed it anyway.
"This is human blood?!"
Setting down her empty cup, Zhu Zhuqing asked with a hint of certainty in her questioning tone.
"That's right."
At the definite answer, both women abruptly paled, but neither vomited in the end. Yu Tianling nodded in satisfaction at this, then swept his gaze around before telling them, "Since we're about to enter Slaughter City, let me teach you your first lesson."
With that, he condensed a longsword in his hand, and his figure flashed. By the time he returned to his original spot, everyone present had been slaughtered by him.
The waiter flew into a rage at the sight and was about to attack, only to suddenly see six Soul Rings appear around Yu Tianling-three purple and three black. Cold sweat instantly poured from his forehead.
"If anyone tries to mock you in the future, you must strike and tear them out by the roots!"
After glancing at the waiter, Yu Tianling instructed the two women behind him. Then, under the waiter's stunned, terrified gaze, a blade of light shot toward him. His head fell straight to the floor, leaving him as dead as could be.
Yu Tianling needed to give no further instructions. Both women attacked directly, killing the two remaining waiters by the tavern counter. Their bodies crashed heavily onto the counter, shattering it into fragments that flew in all directions and exposed the floor.
Yu Tianling came over to the two women, his satisfied gaze growing even more satisfied. After all, these pupils could indeed be taught.
"The entrance to Slaughter City is right here. Let's go."
With that, Yu Tianling stamped hard on the floor ahead, blasting a large hole through it.
A sinister, icy wind blew up from the hole. Even though Yu Tianling had known beforehand that it was not deep, merely looking still revealed nothing of what lay inside.
Then, without hesitation, Yu Tianling took the lead and leaped straight into the pitch-black hole in the floor. Darkness instantly enveloped his body, swallowing him whole.
The two women exchanged a glance, then jumped down one after the other.
Descending into the darkness, Yu Tianling fell only a few meters before his feet touched solid ground. The two women then landed beside him.
Before the three of them was a long passage sloping downward. A sinister chill constantly blew against their hair and clothes, but none of them were afraid, and they strode forward.
All three were powerful Soul Masters, and all possessed Beast Martial Souls. They needed no light whatsoever and had no trouble in the darkness of night, so their progress was very smooth.
When they had walked more than a thousand paces, an icy voice suddenly came from every direction.
"Welcome to Slaughter City. This is the capital of hell, a world filled with slaughter. Here, you can obtain everything you desire. The price is your life."
Hearing the voice, the three briefly paused, then continued forward.
Only after they rounded a bend did light suddenly appear ahead. They hurried forward, and an open doorway stood before their eyes.
Beyond the door, there were signs of life.
