The Journey of Slaughter Begins
"Come on, what are you standing there for?"
Yu Tianshuang picked up the plaque that the Dread Knight had thrown to him before he died. It had the number "9526" engraved on it. Hu Liena's surprised expression, covering her mouth and staring with wide eyes, made him feel secretly pleased.
Hu Liena pursed her lips, concealing her surprise. Seeing Yu Tianshuang's slightly upturned lips, she knew her earlier demeanor had pleased him greatly. However, she quickly composed herself, gracefully walking over, lifting Yu Tianshuang's chin, and gazing at him with affectionate eyes, saying:
"Oh dear, you scared me! What are we going to do? You have to make it up to me..."
As she spoke, she seductively extended her delicate tongue and licked her sexy, rosy lips. Her pink fox eyes seemed to be dripping with water and drooping with silk, and a pink heart floated out. She also unleashed the Charm inherent in her Martial Soul soul, eagerly anticipating Yu Tianshuang's embarrassment.
"Okay, what kind of compensation do you want? How about this?"
For some reason, ever since arriving in the Slaughter City, Yu Tianshuang's personality seemed to have changed completely. If it were before, if Hu Liena Charm him like this, he would have blushed and turned away, ignoring her. But now, he grabbed one of Hu Liena's slender arms, pinned her against the city wall of the Slaughter City, and stared at her with hostility, his gaze lingering on her sexy, rosy lips.
"You, you, you let me go! I, I was just joking! You, you mustn't..."
Hu Liena never expected that Yu Tianshuang, whom she used to tease, would make such a bold move. She was immediately overwhelmed by the masculine aura emanating from him, and her Wumei face was flushed as red as an enticing apple. Her heart began to pound wildly, filled with a complex mix of fear and anticipation.
"Haha, I knew you were just putting on an act and trying to get the upper hand with your words. Since you said you were joking, then forget it..."
He was overjoyed to have teased Hu Liena back. In the past, he had always been the one teased and embarrassed by her. Today, he had finally gotten his revenge. Yu Tianshuang looked at Hu Liena, who had lowered her head and was clutching the hem of her clothes with one hand, as if she were a flower ready to be picked. He felt a sense of foreboding. As expected of a woman who cultivated the Charm Martial Soul, even in this state, she was still so charming.
"You... never mind, let's hurry into the city."
Hu Liena looked at Yu Tianshuang, who was already walking ahead with a smug expression, and couldn't help but think to herself: Damn it, I actually got teased by this brat... But for some reason, she subconsciously touched her lips, feeling a little disappointed and empty inside.
"Welcome to the Slaughter City. I am your guide. For the next twelve hours, you two will be under a newcomer protection period, during which I will answer all your questions. However, as for this young man, I think that's unnecessary. After the Slaughter City was built, you were the first person to kill the Dread Knight. The King of Slaughter has taken notice of you. The Lord greatly admires you, and this cup of Yellow Springs Dew is a special reward from the Lord..."
As Yu Tianshuang and Hu Liena stepped into this dark and desolate Slaughter City, wisps of red mist rose up, and a woman dressed in a dark gothic style appeared before them. She gave a very elegant bow and gestured for them to move forward.
"I want to know how the Slaughter City came to be, and whether this cup of Yellow Springs Dew is truly made from human souls?"
Yu Tianshuang picked up the cup of red Yellow Springs Dew and drank it all in one gulp. The blood-red in her eyes instantly reappeared. She pursed her lips, feeling the increase in Soul Power within her body, and no longer suppressed the restless desire in her heart. She looked at the so-called guide and asked.
"The Slaughter City has existed for a thousand years. Legend has it that a powerful Soul Master, after breaking through to level 100 and ascending to the Divine Realm, left behind this domain. Here, Martial Soul can be activated, but Soul Skill are restricted and cannot be used. Of course, you've probably already learned these rules. Soul Power can be used as a source of strength. By the way, let me remind you, that Dread Knight from earlier was just a member of the Law Enforcement Team. The Dread Knight of the Law Enforcement Team are all Soul Douluo who have been granted the ability to use Soul Skill by the King of Slaughter. If you want to leave, I advise you not to do so. Although you are powerful, the Law Enforcement Team is not just a few people..."
Although the guide spoke with respect, there was a subtle threat in his tone, as if reminding him that killing a Dread Knight was nothing special, and that he had to follow their rules here.
"What are the rules here? Can we leave this place by going through the Hell Road?"
Hu Liena frowned, clearly displeased that the guide was speaking to Yu Tianshuang like that, but seeing the strange atmosphere around them, she held back.
"The rule here is, there are no rules. This is a paradise of sin. You're right. To get out of here, you must win the Hell Slaughter Arena championship, gain the qualification to challenge the Hell Road Hell Road, and then break through it. Moreover, all the strong who break through the Hell Road will be given the title of God of Slaughter. However, in the past thousand years, Slaughter City eight God of Slaughter of Slaughter have appeared in the Slaughter City. I don't think yours is very likely. This young man, on the other hand, has a very good chance, hehe..."
The guide seemed to sense Hu Liena's dissatisfaction. Although he continued his explanation earnestly, his last sentence was tinged with contempt as he watched Hu Liena cover her mouth and chuckle softly.
"What's going on with these people? Are they newbies too?"
Ignoring the subtle tension between the two women, Yu Tianshuang frowned as she looked at the lifeless people in the dark corners of the city, who resembled the living dead, and asked.
"No, sir, the place you're in right now isn't actually the true Slaughter City. This place, well, let's call it the outer city for now. Most of these people are losers from the Hell Slaughter Arena. They're barely surviving here, and they need to offer two cups of Yellow Springs Dew to the great King of Slaughter every month to receive protection and continue living. As for those who can't provide the Yellow Springs Dew, their fate is much worse..."
As the guide spoke, her gaze drifted directly to Hu Liena, as if Hu Liena would appear here someday. Hu Liena understood her words, gritted her teeth, and held back her words.
"In that case, lead us into the inner city. Also, you'd better show some respect to my companions. This is the second time; I don't want a third!"
Yu Tianshuang nodded, then spoke. As soon as she finished speaking, her blood-red eyes turned icy cold as she looked at the guide.
"Okay, okay, I, I remember..."
As an envoy of the King of Slaughter, this guide was quite knowledgeable, but the man before her, who had swiftly and decisively slain the Dread Knight outside the city, spoke with an icy and domineering tone, and his blood-red eyes were unlike any she had ever seen before. There was little killing intent, but the Destruction and savagery contained within them chilled her to the bone. She immediately lowered her head and respectfully led the way, no longer daring to provoke Hu Liena.
"Wow, so handsome, so domineering! This brat... but this feeling is really great."
Hu Liena was also taken aback by Yu Tianshuang's sudden action, but the next moment, an indescribable sense of security and joy instantly filled her heart. Looking at Yu Tianshuang's well-defined and cold profile, a blush crept onto her Wumei face as she followed him shyly.
"This is the inner city. Once you enter here, the twelve-hour protection period for newcomers will no longer apply. However, with me here, they won't dare to do anything to you..."
Although he knew that even if he left, these people couldn't do anything to him, the tour guide still said an extra sentence in order to regain some face after being frightened, trying to demonstrate his status.
"Tianshuang, you can kill indiscriminately in the streets here. Look, those people who were killed, just like those people in the bar, their bodies simply vanished..."
Upon entering the inner city, the feeling was immediately different. Every person here exuded a dangerous aura, and the killings that could be seen everywhere on the streets made Hu Liena instantly understand what it meant to have no rules and what Slaughter City was.
"Great, I really like it here. You said I'm no longer under the newcomer protection rule, right? That means I'm already a member of Slaughter City, is that right?"
Yu Tianshuang looked at the people killing indiscriminately around him, his peach blossom eyes turning even more bloodshot. The impulse to Destruction and be tyrannical made him tremble uncontrollably. He looked at the guide beside him and asked.
"Yes, you are now an official member of the Slaughter City, but don't worry, as long as I'm still here, they wouldn't dare..."
Before the guide could finish speaking, seeing Yu Tianshuang trembling all over, who had just frightened her, the guide assumed he was scared and was speaking with a hint of smugness when she suddenly saw the blue-clad man vanish in an instant, rushing towards the people who had been eyeing them menacingly.
Fear and dread—emotions she had never felt before—surfaced instantly. Yu Tianshuang was like a humanoid tyrannosaurus rex, slaughtering everyone she could see on the street in a very short time. Even she, accustomed to carnage, couldn't help but take a few steps back. This person was a monster; he wasn't human...
"Tell me where the Hell Slaughter Arena are, and then find us a place to stay..."
Yu Tianshuang did not use the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, but fought purely with his physical body after Dragon Transformation. He was extremely fascinated and enjoyed the feeling of punching and kicking his enemy. Moreover, unlike his previous irrational behavior, although his eyes were now bloodshot, he was very calm when he returned to the two women's side.
"Tianshuang, is this really okay? You say you can't build something new without destroying it, but this destruction you're doing is a bit too extreme..."
Hu Liena watched as Yu Tianshuang slaughtered everyone around her with almost brutal methods, but she didn't feel the same berserk, irrational energy that Yu Tianshuang had displayed at the bar. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then spoke with some concern.
"I'm fine, I feel better than ever before. Let's rest for today, and tomorrow we'll go check out the Hell Slaughter Arena..."
Yu Tianshuang waved her hand, looked in the direction the guide was pointing, dispersed the Soul Power on her clothes and body, and shook off the bloodstains. Instantly, tiny ice beads scattered all over the ground.
"You're Control System Soul Master. Although your Martial Soul is Beast Martial Soul, it seems to primarily enhance your Charm abilities. After Martial Soul, the improvement to your physical abilities is very limited. And since you can't use Soul Skill here, you..."
In a villa in the inner city of Slaughter City, Yu Tianshuang and Hu Liena sat in the living room on the first floor, analyzing intelligence about Slaughter City. At this moment, the blood red in Yu Tianshuang's eyes had long since faded, and her usually azure eyes looked at Hu Liena with some worry.
"Oh my, you actually worry about your older sister? That really touches me. Should I give you a reward... Um, well, although I'm Control System Soul Master, and most of my Soul Skill are based on Charm and control, what do you think my purpose was in choosing these Soul Skill?"
Hu Liena started teasingly as usual, but when she saw Yu Tianshuang staring intently at her, the scene of him pinning her against the wall outside the city gate immediately flashed through her mind. She immediately changed her tune and said seriously.
"Silly, of course it's all about melee combat. Besides, who do you think is in control in the Demon Charm state? Don't worry about me, but you, your state is very dangerous..."
Seeing that Yu Tianshuang hadn't noticed anything, Hu Liena shook her head and, somewhat relieved, took out a beautifully crafted dagger that gleamed with a sharp, cold light.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Mutated Martial Soul, and the Seven Kill Sword's Mutated Martial Soul too... This young man is interesting, hehe..."
Inside the highest room in the Slaughter City, a man with wings on his back, resembling a demon god, shook a blood-red cup in his hand. His gaze pierced through the thick walls as he looked towards where Yu Tianshuang and the others were staying. A smile played on his lips as he muttered to himself.
"Father, what kind of place Slaughter City?"
After leaving Sunset Forest, Tang San and his father Tang Hao traveled together. At night, the father and son sat around a campfire roasting meat, and Tang San couldn't help but ask a question.
"That place is a magical place. You should know that apart from the Innate Domain you gained after your Martial Soul Evolution, it is extremely difficult for other Soul Master to obtain a domain. Even among Titled Douluo- level powerhouses, very few people possess a domain. The most magical thing about the Slaughter City is that it can grant you a domain. Of course, as far as I know, in the past hundred years, only two people have obtained a domain in the Slaughter City. One of them is me, and the other one, you should be familiar with, is the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong..." Tang Hao's tone was very calm, and there was no hint of pride when he spoke of himself. However, when Tang San heard the name Bibi Dong, his eyes immediately turned red, and his fists clenched tightly.
"Bibi Dong, Yu Tianshuang, I will make you pay the price..."
Feeling the significant increase in strength brought by the evolution of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul into the Blue Silver Emperor, as well as his own domain, Tang San thought of the two enemies who separated him and Xiao Wu and killed his teacher. He gritted his teeth and wished he could rush to the Spirit Hall right now.
