Following the guidance of the Divine Slaughter's Domain, Qi Ling quickly arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest. A strong, nauseating smell of blood wafted over, causing Qi Ling to frown.
He arrived at the source of the bloody smell and saw five corpses there—the very same Soul Master from the Divine Court that Qi Ling had previously released! Each of them was dead in a gruesome state, but despite the extremely strong smell of blood, there wasn't a single drop of blood on the ground!
Qi Ling carefully examined the corpses and found that their blood was indeed gone, and even their muscles seemed to have turned into an unknown liquid and disappeared along with them.
Given this situation, it's almost certain that Tang Chen was behind it. Moreover, there were almost no signs of a struggle at the scene; everyone appeared to have been killed in one blow, clearly indicating that the opponent was a powerful individual.
Since we've seen these people, it means Tang Chen was at least here before! But where has he gone now?
To Qi Ling's dismay, the unique connection above the Divine Slaughter's Domain seemed to have disappeared after he appeared, and he could no longer use the Divine Slaughter's Domain to determine Tang Chen's location.
It felt as if Tang Chen had unilaterally severed the connection, making Qi Ling unable to sense his presence at all! As the King of Slaughter in the Slaughter City, Qi Ling wasn't surprised that Tang Chen could do such a thing.
"What's going on? Where did this guy go? Could it be that he suddenly went confused and went crazy again?" Qi Ling wondered.
Although it's not impossible that Tang Chen is currently under control, Qi Ling doesn't think it's that simple! Since he came to seek revenge, there's no reason for him to suddenly disappear!
Now that Tang Chen hasn't come looking for him, it's obviously because he has a better option, or rather, a more prioritized option! For example, choosing the side with more people who have mastered the Divine Slaughter's Domain!
"Oh no, this guy, he wouldn't really abandon me and go find Xiao San and the others first, would he?" Qi Ling was immediately shocked, but then realized that this was indeed very likely. Hu Liena and Tang San both Divine Slaughter's Domain, so Tang Chen would naturally go to the side with more people first.
Qi Ling didn't delay any longer and immediately started heading back, while secretly praying in his heart, "Please, please, Qian Renxue, don't fight with me!"
It wasn't that Qi Ling was worried that Qian Renxue couldn't defeat Tang Chen; on the contrary, Tang Chen, under control, was even weaker than some Super Douluo and could not possibly be a match for Qian Renxue.
Moreover, Qian Renxue's power is Tang Chen's nemesis. Only a bright and holy power like Qian Renxue can cause him maximum harm with his extremely evil, dark, and bloody power.
But if that's the case, why is Qi Ling worried that Qian Renxue and Tang Chen will fight? Because if they do, Tang Chen will most likely be purified by Qian Renxue's power, which might allow him to regain his strength!
Once Tang Chen recovers his strength, Tang San, who is currently absorbing Soul Ring, will be unable to acknowledge him. Therefore, Tang Chen will likely still not let them go!
After all, once Tang Chen regains his senses, he will definitely not let go of anyone connected to the Slaughter City. In other words, regardless of whether he has regained his senses or not, he will kill Tang San and Hu Liena.
The only difference is that by then, Tang Chen's strength will have undergone a complete transformation, even surpassing Bo Saixi and Qian Daoliu, since he was the true number one person of that era.
"Wow, it really makes me look forward to it! Tang Chen, just how strong will he be?" Qi Ling couldn't help but ask curiously. "He hasn't become a god yet, but he's not far from it, right? He should at least be considered a Demigod, he can't be any weaker!"
"Such an opponent is rare, and the King of Slaughter? Perhaps he can give me a little fun!"
Just as Qi Ling was thinking this, a surge of bloodthirsty aura suddenly erupted from afar, its dense red intensity so powerful that it was visible to the naked eye, its momentum astonishing.
Such a powerful aura, and such pure killing intent, without any bloodshed or violence, could only be unleashed by Tang Chen after he regained his rationality and strength!
In other words, Qi Ling's guess came true. Tang Chen not only fought Qian Renxue head-on, but he also regained his rationality and true strength under the impact of Qian Renxue's divine power!
Thinking of this, Qi Ling quickened her pace, hoping nothing would happen before she got back.
Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, facing Tang Chen, who suddenly appeared, his body radiating bloodlust, and who intended to kill Tang San and Hu Liena, Qian Renxue naturally couldn't let him succeed and stood in front of him without hesitation.
After a brief exchange, Qian Renxue easily defeated Tang Chen. However, under the holy light, Tang Chen emitted a black aura, his entire aura changed, and his strength increased at an astonishing rate.
Qian Renxue was astonished by Tang Chen's sudden change in strength! She had never seen anyone's strength improve so in such an unbelievable way in such a short time. In fact, Qian Renxue had a vague feeling that she was no longer a match for him!
This is utterly incomprehensible. No matter what kind of magic a person uses, it's impossible to gain such a power boost! Otherwise, the Divine Court would have unified the continent long ago!
There is only one possibility for this: Tang Chen's strength has always been this great, but he has only now truly unleashed his full power.
Tang Chen, the King of Slaughter, was gradually disappearing under Qian Renxue's holy light. The demonic symbols on his body were gradually turning to ashes, the blood-red light on his body faded, and the wings on his back disappeared.
Finally, when it was all over, Tang Chen regained his senses. He stared blankly at his hands, muttering to himself, "What happened to me? Who am I? Am I the King of Slaughter? Or am I Tang Chen...?"
Clearly, Tang Chen was still in a daze because he had just escaped from that control, but his memories as Tang Chen gradually took over, and he finally regained his original identity.
"I am Tang Chen! I am not some King of Slaughter!" Tang Chen suddenly said, a cold glint flashing in his Middle God as he looked at Tang San and Hu Liena before him. "The aura of the Slaughter City is here! Anyone connected to the Slaughter City deserves to die!"
