"Shopkeeper, a few cups of Yellow Springs Dew, please~" Bibi Dong said softly.
A moment later, the waiter brought over several cups of Yellow Springs Dew, his voice trembling, "Please enjoy, sir..."
Bibi Dong chuckled lightly, "Try it. Once you go inside, this will be your only food."
Lin Chen looked at the scarlet liquid in his hand and drank it all in one gulp. Hu Liena, who was next to him, followed suit. Xiao Wu frowned after seeing the two of them drink, but gritted her teeth and drank it down as well.
"Cough cough..." Xiao Wu coughed lightly a few times, a hint of discomfort showing on her exquisite face.
Bibi Dong's lips curled up slightly. "How is it?"
Lin Chen frowned slightly and slowly said, "This dew is indeed extraordinary. It can not only enhance Soul Power, but it can even subtly enhance the divine soul. However, it also contains a lot of malevolent energy and negative substances. If one consumes too much, the divine soul can easily be corrupted, turning one into a mindless Fallen One..."
"Ah?" Xiao Wu's pretty face changed slightly, and she quickly threw the Yellow Springs Dew in her hand onto the table. "Master, Xiao Wu doesn't want to become like that, I won't drink it."
"Hehe..." Lin Chen smiled confidently, "Drink with confidence, I can get rid of this negative emotion!"
With his words reassuring, Xiao Wu and Hu Liena finally felt relieved. Although the Yellow Springs Dew didn't taste good, it could increase Soul Power, and who would refuse an opportunity to improve their Soul Power?
"That's enough, Chen'er, you should go in now." A hint of reluctance flashed in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes.
"Um!"
"Go ahead, be careful, I'll stay here the whole time."
Slaughter Barrier, outside the capital city
Three figures descended from the sky and arrived at the passage leading to the Slaughter City, where a majestic and gloomy city stood before them.
Rumble rumble rumble...
The gate slowly opened, and a man in armor rode out on a fine horse. This man was the Dark Knight, the final test-taker to enter the Slaughter City.
Scott, longsword in hand, said coldly, "Only those who defeat me are qualified to enter the Slaughter City."
Lin Chen said calmly, " Xiao Wu, you go first!"
"Hmm~"
Xiao Wu nodded and stepped forward.
Once inside the territory of the Slaughter City, Soul Skill cannot be used, but Soul Power Soul Power remains, so it can still be used. This competition is more like a duel between martial arts masters from a previous life.
With a sharp cry, Xiao Wu gained the upper hand with her agile speed and flexible body. Although Scott, wielding a longsword, launched a powerful attack, he could not threaten Xiao Wu, while Xiao Wu's attacks landed steadily on him.
Bang! Thump...
Then, Xiao Wu executed an Eight-Stage Throw, kicking him hard to the ground.
"Ugh...!" Scott cried out in pain, his previous composure completely gone, and he scrambled to his feet, saying:
"You can go in now!"
Xiao Wu gave a soft snort, walked over with her hands behind her back, but didn't go in. Instead, she stood outside the door waiting for Lin Chen and the other person.
" Nana ~"
"Hmm!" Upon hearing Lin Chen's instruction, Hu Liena slowly stepped forward. " Hu Liena of the Spirit Hall, please enlighten me!"
Because of his initial carelessness, Scott dared not underestimate these three again. He had just been beaten up with a hammer a few months earlier, and no one who came after him was a match for him. Even if they could defeat him, it would only be a Pyrrhic victory. This made him feel contemptuous.
Scott snorted coldly, and was about to attack when his body suddenly froze in place.
Hu Liena exuded a powerful Charm, with a pair of soul ears and a tail sprouting from her head and back respectively, and she slowly walked towards Scott with cat-like steps.
It looks like ordinary walking, but the speed is not slow at all.
Scott was stunned for several breaths. Just as he came to his senses, Hu Liena's spirit tail had already wrapped around his arm and flung him away.
"Ugh..."
The Charm of the Heavenly Fox Charm has increased to a whole new level since Hu Liena broke through to the Soul Emperor. Even without using Soul Skill, she can still trap Soul Power with lower Soul Power into illusions, though the effect is limited.
"Hehehe... Is that all you've got? What pose are you striking?"
Scott scrambled to his feet, his anger tinged with fear. "You... you guys..."
Tap tap... tap tap...
Hu Liena ignored him and walked over with a cat-like gait. Her charming face winked at Xiao Wu, making the latter blush slightly. Even a girl couldn't resist that!
"Sister Nana ~"
Hu Liena chuckled, "Fine, I won't tease you anymore. Let's see how Brother Chen teaches him a lesson!"
On the other side
Scott stared at the young man before him with a grave expression, feeling a deep sense of fear. If even the two women beside him were so powerful, then how strong was he?
Lin Chen clasped his hands in a respectful greeting. "My name is Lin Chen, please enlighten me."
Scott gritted his teeth and said, "You're only in your early twenties, I refuse to believe you can defeat me so easily!!"
"Drink up..."
Having said that, he raised his long sword and slashed fiercely at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen's lips curled up slightly as he held the Red Firmament Sword horizontally in front of him, his vast Soul Power surging within him.
Clang! Bang!
The two collided violently, and a powerful shockwave rippled outwards, sending Scott flying and crashing to the ground in a sorry state.
Thump!
"Ugh..."
"This... this is impossible?! You... you're Soul Douluo?!"
Lin Chen scoffed. "Even if you can't use Soul Skill, with Soul Power at level eighty-something, how could you possibly shake me?"
Although he was only level 74, his powerful physique and foundation made his Soul Power Soul Power extremely strong, far surpassing that of ordinary Soul Douluo.
Scott was horrified. How old was he? He was already Soul Douluo?! He was even more monstrous than that Clear Sky Sect disciple from a few months ago!
After saying that, she walked past him. Hu Liena and Xiao Wu rushed to meet her and took his arm with their hands.
Lin Chen said helplessly, "You two, be careful when you enter the inner city later. There are no rules there..."
Rumble rumble rumble...
The door slowly opened, and the three of them went inside. Soon they saw a glamorous young woman wearing a black bodycon dress. She had a graceful figure, her hair was piled high, her skin was pale, and she had black eyes and lips. There were also black lines tattooed on her snow-white thighs. Her temperament was extremely seductive.
"Congratulations to the three of you on entering the Slaughter City. I am the Slaughter Envoy, here to explain the situation of the Slaughter City to you."
"These three are your tokens."
Lin Chen casually took the token and found that it was engraved with a series of numbers. His was 13140, Hu Liena's was 13141, and Xiao Wu's was 13142. The numbering was obviously based on sequence.
The Slaughter Envoy looked at Lin Chen's handsome appearance, then glanced at the two women beside him, a strange glint flashing in his dark eyes:
"The three of you, please follow me. Slaughter is forbidden in the Slaughter City. Only in the inner city is it truly a place of freedom."
"In addition, newcomers to the Slaughter City have a one-day protection period. After entering the inner city, as long as you do not actively attack others, you can stay safely for one day."
