Entering Slaughter City!

Something's not right. These people are very strange, like... like they've been bewitched. Their mental state is extremely abnormal. Moreover, looking at these people clinking glasses and exchanging Yu Tianshuang, and the faint but palpable murderous aura emanating from them, it's clear they're not good people.

"Tianshuang, have you noticed? The things these people are drinking are quite unusual..."

Compared to Yu Tianshuang, Hu Liena, as the current Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and a woman, was far more adept at reading people. When the two followed Bibi Dong into the bar, she quickly noticed that the people's seemingly possessed state was likely caused by what they were drinking.

Give me three cups of Yellow Springs Dew.

Bibi Dong watched the two whispering to each other, and the corners of her mouth turned up imperceptibly. "But little ones, the Slaughter City is not as simple as you imagine right now." Looking at the only relatively normal waiter who walked over, Bibi Dong extended three jade-like fingers and spoke Lengleng.

"Are you... are you sure?"

The waiter was somewhat surprised. Looking at the three men wearing masks and hoods, he understood what was going on, but still asked.

"Snort!"

Having not been to this place for so many years, this former God of Slaughter was actually questioned by a mere waiter. Immediately, Bibi Dong released a dense, almost tangible, killing intent from her body, which terrified the waiter, who turned pale and realized he had offended someone he couldn't afford to offend. He hurriedly scrambled away, but soon after, the waiter respectfully placed three cups of Yellow Springs Dew on the table.

"Drink it."

Bibi Dong's voice was like a queen's arrival, unquestionable and domineering. Her words immediately startled the two men, because they had already realized that there was definitely something wrong with the red Yellow Springs Dew. However, Bibi Dong ignored their feelings, picked up the cup of Yellow Springs Dew in front of her, drank it all in one gulp, and then gave them a domineering look.

"This... tastes awful, and like its color, it's filled with the smell of blood..."

Hu Liena raised an eyebrow, not particularly fond of the red Yellow Springs Dew. However, the moment Yellow Springs Dew entered her body, she felt as if she were in a blood-red illusion, filled with bloodshed and slaughter. Yet, she also felt an increase in her Soul Power, along with an indescribable sensation that made her quickly finish the remaining Yellow Springs Dew in the cup. Afterward, she smacked her lips seductively, somewhat Charm.

"In the Slaughter City, Yellow Springs Dew was formed from the Soul Power of a defeated person..."

Bibi Dong spoke with a touch of wicked humor. Hu Liena, still savoring the wonderful feeling she had just experienced, was instantly astonished upon hearing her teacher's words. She looked at the cup she had already emptied—it was actually made from human souls...

She looked at Yu Tianshuang, and just as she was about to say something to him, a blood-red aura, as deep as Abyss, rushed towards her. Hu Liena was somewhat stunned, looking at Yu Tianshuang's originally azure eyes, which had now turned blood red, staring intently at the cup he was tightly holding in his hand. The Yellow Springs Dew in the cup had long since disappeared, having been drunk by him.

Bibi Dong was also very surprised. She had carefully studied Yu Tianshuang's various competitions and knew that something was wrong with him, which was why she brought him to the Slaughter City. But at this moment, she felt that Yu Tianshuang was releasing an aura that was completely different from killing intent due to the stimulation of the Yellow Springs Dew. It was full of blood, violence, and Destruction.

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena could tell that although Yu Tianshuang was in a completely abnormal state, he was still trying his best to control himself. But at this moment, some people were oblivious to his surroundings. A few scoundrels in the bar started laughing loudly and, without any sense of propriety, walked over and provoked Yu Tianshuang, who looked like he was enduring extreme pain.

"Hey kid, where did you come from? Do you even know where you are? Huh?"

But before he could finish speaking, an extremely cold longsword had already sliced across his neck. He looked at the boy in surprise, only to find that he was no longer in his seat. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the boy was like a demon, wielding an exquisitely crafted ice-blue longsword, wreaking havoc in the bar, like a demon god descending to earth.

"Alright, that's enough, Yu Tianshuang. Your condition is more serious than I imagined. I misjudged the situation. The trials in the Slaughter City might not only fail to restore you, but could actually worsen your condition..."

Bibi Dong was completely stunned by the familiar yet unfamiliar young man before her. He seemed to have lost all reason, transforming into a Asura indulging in slaughter. However, when Bibi Dong stopped him from killing the bar waiter, she was astonished to find that although Yu Tianshuang's eyes had turned blood red, they didn't show any signs of irrationality. She saw enjoyment in those eyes; he knew what he was doing...

Hu Liena rushed over with great concern. Looking at the familiar man before her, whose face was somewhat ferocious and whose blood-red eyes seemed to be filled with madness, she suddenly felt an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity and fear. He was not the Yu Tianshuang she knew, not the Yu Tianshuang was somewhat awkward, somewhat hesitant, yet very frank. The thought that she might lose him made her heart tremble with fear. Without the slightest hesitation, she stepped forward, tears streaming down her face, and hugged him.

When he drank the blood-red Yellow Springs Dew, the seed of inner demons planted in his heart because of Shui Bing'er and the others' serious injuries began to sprout and grow rapidly, as if it had encountered a catalyst. Because of the special rules of this world, he had not overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation of the Heart Stirring Stage, but had been suppressing it. Until this cup of Yellow Springs Dew acted as a catalyst, he could no longer suppress his inner demons. Various thoughts emerged: killing, Destruction. When he killed the people in the bar, he actually felt an unparalleled pleasure, making him want to continue to vent and continue to enjoy the pleasure of killing.

Feeling the soft, fragrant body before him, hearing Hu Liena's gentle sobs in his ear, and feeling the warmth of her tight embrace, he instantly regained his senses. The bloodshot in his eyes quickly faded, and he withdrew his Heavenly Frost Cold Qi. He patted Hu Liena gently and spoke softly:

"Okay, I'm fine now..."

Hu Liena's Wumei face was streaked with tears, but when she saw that Yu Tianshuang's eyes were as bright and blue as ever, she let go of him, wiped the tears from her pretty face, and nodded with a blush.

"Nana, go in by yourself. Yu Tianshuang, I misjudged you. This place is like poison to you. Come with me, sigh..."

Bibi Dong watched as her disciple Hu Liena managed to bring this brat, who had fallen into a mad state, back to his senses. She felt somewhat relieved, but also a strange pang of sadness. She shattered the bar floor with a single blow and said to the two of them with a hint of regret.

"Okay, teacher, Tianshuang, take care of yourself, wait for me to come back..."

Although Hu Liena was reluctant, she always listened to her teacher, and she also knew that Yu Tianshuang really couldn't go in with her; it was too dangerous for him...

"No, I feel that this is the place where I can truly break free. There's a saying, 'No destruction, no construction.' I know I can't keep suppressing this state; I need to face it..."

There's only one way to overcome the Heart Demon Tribulation; I've never heard of suppressing it indefinitely. So, he was actually a little scared, scared of himself in that state. But he couldn't ignore the inner demon. If he suppressed it for too long, he could still maintain his rationality now when it erupted, but what about later? What if he completely lost his rationality and hurt the people he cared about? So, he refused Bibi Dong's kindness and spoke seriously.

"No destruction, no construction; no destruction, no construction... Good, well said, 'No destruction, no construction,' Yu Tianshuang, it seems I underestimated you. Go, I look forward to the day you and Nana successfully traverse the Hell Road and become God of Slaughter..."

Yu Tianshuang's words also awakened her. She actually understood Yu Tianshuang's state very well, because she also had a knot in her heart that she didn't want to talk about, a knot that had been tormenting her. She could only escape and suppress it. Now, Yu Tianshuang's words made her realize that she couldn't keep running away; she had to face it. Moreover, after the incident of killing Yu Xiaogang that day, she realized that the things she had been afraid of and running away from for so many years didn't seem so scary anymore...

"Welcome to the Slaughter City, the capital of hell. Here, you can get anything you want..."

Having just experienced what happened, Yu Tianshuang and Hu Liena jumped down the passage and arrived at the Slaughter City. The person speaking to them kept changing appearances; there was Shui Bing'er and the others, then Tang San, Tang Hao, and even themselves...

Seeing the figure that had taken her image, Yu Tianshuang couldn't help but glance at Hu Liena beside her. These illusory figures must be the most important people in their hearts, or the people they hated. As for herself, she was probably a manifestation of Hu Liena's inner self...

"What are you looking at me for? I... I just like you, don't you know that? Oh dear, this illusion of the Slaughter City is really fitting, isn't it..."

Hu Liena felt Yu Tianshuang's gaze and was initially a little shy. This damned Slaughter City had actually exposed her secret, making her feel somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. But the next moment, with her innate allure, she looked at him directly, her eyes seemingly filled with tears, like a fox spirit. Her charming movements, tender gaze, and Charm tone made Yu Tianshuang blush and turn his face away from her.

"You, stop right there! You've broken the rules. I can't let you in. Of course, if you defeat me, you can also gain entry to the Slaughter City."

The two walked on the bridge, looking at the Slaughter City across the way. The intense killing intent and somber atmosphere made them exchange a glance. The city was full of eeriness. Suddenly, a red light appeared in the sky, and then an armored knight riding a warhorse and holding a long spear appeared. The spear was pointed at Yu Tianshuang, and he spoke Lengleng.

"Be careful, this is a Soul Douluo- level expert. The rules of this Slaughter City that we can only use Martial Soul, not Soul Skill. Be careful..."

Hu Liena looked at the Terror Knight only said that Yu Tianshuang had violated the rules, and instantly understood. Sensing the special rules of this place, as well as the Soul Douluo who was charging towards her, she spoke with some concern.

"Can't use Soul Skill? I wonder if the Ice Heaven Sword Scripture and Dragon Transformation Soul Skill count, Soul Douluo? Heh..."

When he was killing people in the bar, he used the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi. The Heavenly Frost Cold Qi itself did not have any attached Soul Ring, and he did not use any moves from the Ice Heaven Sword Scripture at the time. However, it is known that Soul Power can be used. Now he is going to test the next thing, which is whether the Dragon Transformation Soul Skill counts as a rule restricted by the Slaughter City.

"Sitting upright amidst the frosty sky!"

Yu Tianshuang waved her hand and summoned the Frost Dragon Martial Soul, instantly completing the possession. The Dragon Transformation effect brought by the Martial Soul also followed, with her hands, legs, and chest instantly transforming into Dragon Transformation.

"Dragon Transformation Soul Skill, Frost Raging Dragon Strike!"

Seeing the Terror Knight charging towards him, Yu Tianshuang condensed a frost energy in his dragon claw and hurled it with all his might. The ice bullet whistled as it hurtled toward the Terror Knight, but the Terror Knight was extremely fast, dodged it.

It seems the Slaughter City only restricts the Soul Skill attached to the Soul Ring on the Martial Soul. It doesn't restrict Dragon Transformation Soul Skill, including the Ice Heaven Sword Scripture — Soul Skill that utilize Soul Power in this way. So... next, we'll show this Terror Knight what true fear is...

With a powerful leap, Yu Tianshuang Dragon Transformation, now in his dragon form, slammed into the ground, sending him hurtling like a cannonball into the head of the Terror Knight's horse. The impact was so great that a series of violent sonic booms erupted just as Yu Tianshuang was about to strike. The Terror Knight had no time to react, not even having a chance to raise his lance, before feeling a tremendous force blast from beneath him. His warhorse was smashed to pieces by the humanoid tyrannosaurus.

Then he felt a sharp pain in his chest, a terrifying force, and the scene before his eyes instantly reversed until he heard a clear cracking sound and felt a splitting pain in his back before he came to his senses.

Hu Liena stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding in disbelief, her large pink eyes wide as everything seemed to happen in the blink of an eye. She knew Yu Tianshuang could defeat the Terror Knight, but she hadn't expected it to be so swift and overwhelming.

In her vision, she only saw Yu Tianshuang rush out like a streak of icy blue light, and then the Dread Knight was smashed into the wall at the gate of the Slaughter City like a toy, embedded in it.

The Dread Knight uncontrollably lowered his head and coughed up several mouthfuls of blood. Just as he raised his head, he saw Yu Tianshuang wielding her dragon claws before him, terrifying him to the core. He quickly raised his hand to stop her, saying:

"You've passed! Here's your identification card!"

Unfortunately, Yu Tianshuang paid no attention to any of this. For some reason, in this place, once he entered a battle, he found it difficult to control his desire to kill. So, since he couldn't suppress it, he decided not to. Inner demons are not something to be suppressed; they are something to be overcome naturally.

Having figured all this out, Yu Tianshuang didn't hesitate to swing her claw, tearing the Terror Knight apart into a pile of minced meat.
