Although the group couldn't abandon Qi Ling, they were actually completely helpless against the Blood Devil Emperor. Even Xiao Ye's miraculous sealing technique couldn't deal with something so powerful.
So all everyone could do was silently pray that the Blood Devil Emperor would settle down after absorbing enough energy, allowing Qi Ling to regain her peace as soon as possible.
"Not enough, still not enough..." The enormous Blood Devil Emperor, after devouring the Lord of the Blood Pool, still wore a hungry expression, making it completely incomprehensible how much he could eat.
"Oh my god, this guy wants to eat more?" Xiao Ye exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth. " Qi Ling, stop eating! You'll become fat if you keep eating!"
But the Blood Devil Emperor wouldn't listen to Xiao Ye. He lowered his head, looked at the churning blood pool below, and smiled.
Immediately afterwards, the Blood Devil Emperor looked up and opened his huge mouth, emanating a tremendous suction force that actually drew blood from the blood pool below into his own mouth.
"No way, is Qi Ling planning to drink this whole blood pool dry?" Xiao Ye exclaimed in surprise. "Where did he get such a big belly?"
" The Blood Devil Emperor's physical structure cannot be deduced using common sense. It seems he truly intends to absorb all the blood in this pool," Qian Renxue said. "Perhaps this is the beginning of a Slaughter City."
In the latter half of the Hell Road, Tang San and Hu Liena barely managed to defeat the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent, then retrieved its inner core. After the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent fell into the blood pool, they continued their journey.
"If I remember correctly, there are three trials on this Hell Road, and we only have one left to go," Hu Liena said, walking behind Tang San. "Once we get past this last trial, we can leave."
"Hmm, I wonder what kind of creatures will appear in this final challenge. We must be careful," Tang San said. "The creatures in this blood pool are all incredibly difficult to deal with. I'm afraid a Devil King might emerge in the end."
As they walked, Hu Liena suddenly exclaimed in surprise, " Tang Yin, have you noticed that the temperature around here has been steadily rising, and that urge to kill has also been increasing?"
"But since just now, the temperature here seems to be slowly dropping, and that murderous urge has also subsided considerably. What's going on?"
Tang San naturally noticed the changes Hu Liena mentioned, but he didn't have a clear clue either. He could only analyze, "I don't know either, but it seems that the special energy in the air is indeed decreasing, which is why we are becoming more and more relaxed."
Tang San's doubts were quickly answered, as they soon arrived at the location of the Blood Devil Emperor. Seeing the Blood Devil Emperor devouring the blood pool, it was obvious why the temperature was dropping.
"Am I... are we supposed to be enemies with such a being? Tang Yin, do you have a way to deal with it?" Hu Liena looked at the towering Blood Devil Emperor before her and panicked as she asked Tang San.
Tang San gave a bitter smile to himself and said, "If this is the final test, I believe no one can complete this Hell Road. Just by looking at it, you can tell that this is something we can't possibly handle."
"Then what should we do? Should we go back?" Hu Liena asked unwillingly.
Tang San said helplessly, "The road here is blocked. If we want to get through, we'll have to fight this monster. With our strength, there's no way we can get through."
Just as the two were at a loss, a familiar voice suddenly came from above them. Xiao Ye, piloting the aircraft, arrived in front of them and said, "Hey! You two, get on!"
" Night Demoness? What are you doing here? What is this?" Tang San asked in surprise when he saw Xiao Ye.
"No time to explain, get in the car!" Xiao Ye said, "If we wait any longer, the road here will collapse too!"
Just as Xiao Ye said, as the Blood Pool was absorbed by the Blood Devil Emperor, the Hell Road began to gradually collapse. Tang San and Hu Liena thought for a moment and chose to trust Xiao Ye, so they boarded the flying vehicle.
As the three flew past the Blood Devil Emperor in their flying vehicle, Tang San looked at the Blood Devil Emperor more and more, and the more familiar he felt with him. Finally, he slapped his forehead—wasn't that his elder brother's Martial Soul?
" Night Demoness, where did this thing come from? It shouldn't be a monster here, right?" Tang San asked Xiao Ye tentatively.
After a moment's thought, Xiao Ye realized that since everyone had Slaughter City, there was no point in hiding it any longer. So she said, "That's right, you're really smart! This guy is Qi Ling! I wonder how long he's been starving; he's been eating non-stop since he came out."
Hu Liena might not be able to connect this enormous creature with Qi Ling, but Tang San immediately understood upon hearing Xiao Ye's words that this terrifying being must be his elder brother, Qi Ling.
Thinking of this, Tang San couldn't help but sigh. Although he had more or less noticed something during the two years he had been here, his elder brother had kept it from him for so long. He was really wicked.
Then he turned his head again and looked at Hu Liena beside him, thinking that his older brother must have put in so much effort for her.
Just as Xiao Ye was leading the two towards the exit of Hell Road, in the Slaughter City, a man was on the verge of madness.
The King of Slaughter felt the changes within his body in disbelief. He could clearly sense that his power was rapidly draining away, something that had never happened before!
As the master of this Slaughter City, the King of Slaughter City inherently connected to it. Regardless of his original identity, he and the Slaughter City are now one.
The fact that he has this problem can only mean that there is a problem with the Slaughter City itself, and a major problem that could destroy the Slaughter City completely.
"What exactly is going on? Could there be something wrong with the blood pool?" the King of Slaughter asked in surprise and uncertainty. "Could it be that someone really intends to destroy all the hard work I've put in over the years?"
He had already sent the Law Enforcement Team to search for the lost treasure, but now, sensing this terrifying change, he was almost certain that the Law Enforcement Team was in grave danger.
"No, if this continues, the Slaughter City will cease to exist!" The King of Slaughter stood up and said, "I must go there myself and see what exactly has happened."
After leaving his room, the King of Slaughter arrived at a hidden door underground and entered the Hell Road.
As the King of Slaughter, he naturally possessed such authority, since the previous Law Enforcement Team also departed from here.
With a whoosh, wings suddenly unfurled behind him, and the King of Slaughter flew at an incredible speed toward the end of Hell Road, all the while praying in his heart that he could still save the Blood Pool.
