As Yang Podi's first Hell Slaughter Arena match ended, he was ambushed by several people as soon as he left the Hell Slaughter Arena.
However, Yang Podi was not afraid at all. The previous match had not actually depleted his strength, and he still had enough energy to deal with the rest of the battles.
In the next two days, Yang Podi killed over a hundred people.
Many people thought Yang Podi was a newcomer and therefore easy to bully, so they came to launch various sneak attacks.
But Yang Podi did not retreat at all. Instead, he wielded the Soul Breaking Spear in his hand, killing all those who attacked him without any mercy. In fact, it could be said that he was extremely cruel.
In Yang Podi, the Soul Breaking Spear was like a dragon, reaping lives by either piercing through the enemy's body or splitting them into several pieces.
Yang Podi's clothes, after several days of fighting, appeared to have turned blood red all over, which was very strange.
The following days were relatively peaceful. Yang Podi signed up for a Hell Slaughter Arena competition almost every three days, almost without interruption.
In just one month, he has already participated in nine matches, and won all nine of them.
Most of the nine opponents in each match died at Yang Podi's hands, while a few were killed by sneak attacks from others.
And so, Yang Podi's fearsome reputation in the Slaughter City spread. Everyone knew that a very powerful newcomer had appeared in Hell's Slaughter. This person was decisive and ruthless, and anyone who dared to attack him was mercilessly killed.
Yang Podi also gave himself a nickname: God of Slaughter.
During this time, Yang Wuju, the third elder of the Breaking Clan, returned to the clan. When Yang Wuju reported to the clan leader that Yang Podi had entered the Slaughter City, everyone in the family was shocked.
Especially Older Mother Niu Jinfeng, who was even a little uneasy. "Why did he go to the Slaughter City when he was doing well in the Podi? Is there some hidden reason?"
However, his father, Yang Zhentian, was somewhat understanding, recognizing his son's determination to become stronger.
Finally, clan leader Yang Wudi spoke up, "My grandson Yang Podi has always pursued becoming stronger. His trip to the Slaughter City is probably because he believes that it will make him even stronger."
"I believe my grandson will make it out safely. If he really can't, I'll go to Slaughter City and poison everyone Slaughter City."
King of Slaughter:?
In the year since entering the Slaughter City, Yang Podi has participated in a total of 74 matches in the Hell Slaughter Arena, making him the person with the most wins in the entire Slaughter City.
Of course, Yang Podi also demonstrated some of his strength, including his spear's edge.
In a place where Soul Skill cannot be used, the spear's edge is like a cheat code, not only impossible to defend against but also extremely powerful.
As for the two External Soul Bone on Yang Podi's body, they have never been used. They are Yang Podi's trump cards and should never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
The most dangerous time was when Yang Podi came down from the Hell Slaughter Arena, Yang Podi was surrounded by hundreds of people, including several Soul Douluo and Soul Saint level Soul Master.
While Soul Saint and Soul Douluo are indeed unable to use Soul Skill in the Slaughter City, their physical attributes are extremely formidable due to absorbing 7 to 8 Soul Ring, especially their strength and defense, which are terrifying.
Under normal circumstances, a Soul Douluo- level expert can easily crush a Soul King even without using Soul Skill, because Soul Douluo's physical attributes and various abilities are far superior to those of Soul King.
But Yang Podi was fearless and used all his strength to fight against the Soul Douluo- level powerhouses. In this situation, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass he had taken played a great role. His Soul Breaking Spear was like a dragon, and finally released a burst of spear intent, breaking through the defenses of these Soul Douluo powerhouses and killing them.
During this year, Yang Podi gained a deeper understanding of spear techniques. The spear techniques he had learned before seemed to be insufficient and not suitable for advanced Soul Master.
Based on his recent combat experience, Yang Podi has gained a deeper understanding of marksmanship and his strength has become even more formidable.
He further infused his Slaughter intent into his marksmanship, creating a more powerful and personalized style of marksmanship.
According to Yang Podi's own plan, he could create nine styles of spear techniques, but he has only learned the first two so far.
But with the new insights into marksmanship gained from these two lifetimes, Yang Podi was already invincible in the Hell Slaughter Arena, and no one dared to ambush Yang Podi anymore.
Of course, Yang Podi's winning streak alerted the King of Slaughter. After all, as the actual manager of the Slaughter City, he was the last person who wanted God of Slaughter to emerge, as that would seriously damage the strength of the Slaughter City.
On this day, as Yang Podi was practicing his spear technique, Slaughter City, the girl in black veils who was leading the way for Yang Podi appeared.
The girl in black veil bowed to him. "Lord God of Slaughter, the great King of Slaughter requests your presence."
"Lead the way, I'd also like to meet the King of Slaughter."
And so, led by the girl in the black veil, Yang Podi arrived at a strange room.
The Slaughter aura in this room was even stronger than that of the Hell Slaughter Arena, especially since a very tall man, who appeared to be at least two meters tall, sat on the throne in the very center.
The man's face was ashen, making it impossible to discern his exact age. He appeared very old, yet his face seemed quite young, posing a tremendous pressure on Yang Podi, like an insurmountable mountain.
Yang Podi thought to himself: Is this Tang Chen, the former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect? He is indeed powerful. He is worthy of being a level 99 Titled Douluo, known as an Invincible on Land. Even though he was controlled by the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, the power emanating from him was still terrifying.
How powerful would it be if it weren't controlled?
Before Yang Podi could think further, the King of Slaughter spoke up, " God of Slaughter, judging from your weapon, you must be from the Breaking Clan."
"Indeed, King of Slaughter. I come from the Breaking Clan."
"You are the first member of the Breaking Tribe to enter the Slaughter City. The power and danger of the Slaughter City far exceed your imagination. I can now give you a chance to swear allegiance to me, and I can make you the most powerful person in the Slaughter City."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but sneer inwardly: What is this King of Slaughter? You dare to dream of making me serve you? You're nothing but a puppet of the Asura God, not even qualified to lay a hand on a challenger.
"Lord King of King of Slaughter, thank you for your kindness, but my goal is to pass the hundred trials in the Hell Slaughter Arena and become a true God of Slaughter. You should understand what I mean."
"Are you after the Divine Slaughter's Domain?"
"That's right, I came to the Slaughter City to obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain."
The King of Slaughter seemed utterly disdainful. " God of Slaughter, to obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain, a hundred victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena are merely the most basic requirement. You still have to traverse the Hell Road; that's the real difficulty."
Yang Podi spoke directly, "I remember that in the last hundred years, two people have passed through the Hell Road, and I think I will be the third."
"I need to open the Hell Road myself, and besides, I can grant people the ability to use Soul Skill. If you don't submit to me, I believe many people would be willing to kill you, especially those who have no choice but to participate in the Hell Slaughter Arena Competition."
In the Slaughter City, to live in the inner city, one must participate in at least one Hell Slaughter Arena competition every year.
Yang Podi's recent winning streak has terrified many people, who are now afraid to participate in the competition. However, with their time limit approaching, they may eventually have no choice but to bite the bullet and take to the field.
Yang Podi did not answer the King of Slaughter's question, but instead spoke on his own, "Datura flower, poisonous dragon grass, double-flowered flower, Hell leaf, heart-wrenching lotus, heartbreak grass, seven-death flower..."
"These poisons are perfectly combined, gradually robbing a person of their mind and turning them into a monster capable only of Slaughter. It could be said that Bloody Mary will gradually destroy a Soul Master's very foundation; you can even feel its presence in the air."
"If I were to add the three toxins —Heart-Eroding Grass, Withered Bone Flower, and Heart-Devouring Lotus —to the air, and let these three toxins interact with the existing toxins, I'm afraid very few people would survive in the entire Slaughter City."
The King of Slaughter's expression instantly changed. " God of Slaughter, are you trying to threaten me? Anyone who destroys the Slaughter City shall die!"
But Yang Podi remained remarkably relaxed. " King of Slaughter, you are the strongest in Slaughter City, and Slaughter City ruler. Of course I understand your meaning, and I also hope that Slaughter City will continue to exist."
"Let's keep to ourselves. I'll complete my trials, and you can continue ruling the entire Slaughter City. Isn't that better?"
After Yang Podi finished speaking, he took out three poisonous herbs from his ring: Heart-Eroding Grass, Withered Bone Flower, and Heart-Devouring Lotus.
Upon seeing this, the King of Slaughter's expression changed drastically, his face turning extremely grim.
Yang Podi continued, "My Breaking Clan is skilled in concocting poisons. I have already prepared some in advance. If I cannot leave this room safely, the poison will likely be released, which will cause trouble for everyone."
A hush fell over the room.
Finally, the King of Slaughter gritted his teeth and said, " God of Slaughter, very good, you've done extremely well. I hope you can successfully pass the trial of the Hell Slaughter Arena. I look forward to you becoming the new God of Slaughter."
"Thank you, Lord King of Slaughter."
After Yang Podi finished speaking, he left the room immediately. It was best to be cautious and keep a distance from a peerless expert like the King of Slaughter.
After Yang Podi left, the girl in black veiled went to the King of Slaughter's room. " King of Slaughter, have you communicated clearly with the God of Slaughter? Is the God of Slaughter willing to submit to our Slaughter City?"
The King of Slaughter's expression seemed rather grim. "You may leave now. From now on, don't interfere with the God of Slaughter; let him undergo the trial on his own."
The girl in black veil seemed a little anxious. "Lord King of Slaughter, how can this be allowed? The birth of a God of Slaughter is a huge loss to our Slaughter City."
But as soon as she finished speaking, the King of Slaughter's arm pierced through her body, and the girl in the black veil died instantly.
The King of Slaughter looked at the corpse before him. "I am the ruler of the Slaughter City. Don't try to teach me a lesson."
After saying that, the King of Slaughter held a glass of Bloody Mary and swallowed it in one gulp, as if it contained endless sweetness.
After Yang Podi left the King of Slaughter's room, his face turned somewhat dark.
In the original novel, both Tang San and Hu Liena had extremely powerful backgrounds. Behind them were Bibi Dong and Tang Hao, respectively, and it could even be said that the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were behind them.
It was precisely because of their powerful background that the King of Slaughter dared not attack the two of them.
Judging from today's situation, it seems the King of Slaughter wants to deal with me and prevent me from obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Fortunately, she was prepared. Through her studies in alchemy, she basically understood the composition of Bloody Mary and the toxins in the air, and used the poison on her hands to threaten the King of Slaughter.
Hopefully, the King of Slaughter won't bother me again.
