"Outsider, you'll have to get past us before you can get into hell." The burly man with a face full of scars grinned as he ripped open his shirt, revealing a hideous spider tattoo on his chest. "Kill everyone here, or... be chopped into mincemeat and fed to the wild dogs."
A sudden, ear-piercing burst of laughter erupted in the tavern. Yu Tianheng slowly removed his hood, revealing a pair of eyes burning with lightning beneath his long black hair.
He snapped his fingers, and a crackling sound of electricity suddenly filled the air.
"Noisy."
Before he finished speaking, Thunder around Yu Tianheng transformed into a long spear, which then shot out into the air.
The spear tip pierced the throat of a burly man with pinpoint accuracy, and then Yu Tianheng's figure closed in on the bartender on the right. Thunder power exploded from his fingertips, and the man didn't even have time to scream before half of his body was blasted apart.
The tavern descended into chaos as the thugs drew their weapons and swarmed forward. Yu Tianheng moved like Gui Mei amidst the flashing blades, each shot accompanied by the cracking sound of bones breaking. Lightning crackled in the confined space, and blood splattered on the moldy walls, reflecting an eerie glow under the dim yellow oil lamp.
As the last assailant's head rolled to the ground, Yu Tianheng stood there with his gun, not a single drop of blood on him.
He gazed at the iron gate deep within the tavern, Entanglement with blood-red vines, a cold smile playing on his lips—the real hell had only just begun.
Without a word, Yu Tianheng stepped into the Slaughter City!
Upon entering the Slaughter City, Yu Tianheng could clearly feel that his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was suppressed, rendering him unable to use any Soul Skill.
He knew the reason: the Slaughter City was covered by the King of Slaughter's Slaughter Domain, making it impossible to use Soul Skill.
The Slaughter Domain is one of the most domineering domains in the world, possessing a magic-suppressing effect. Within its range, no Soul Ring skills can be used, and Soul Master can only fight using the most basic form of their Martial Soul.
The Slaughter City is under the influence of the Slaughter Domain, so apart from the King of Slaughter and the members of the enforcement team who have been granted permission to use Soul Skill, other Soul Master cannot use Soul Skill.
Even Titled Douluo would suffer a significant reduction in combat power if they entered this realm, as they would be unable to use their Soul Skill.
However, Yu Tianheng Yu Tianheng raised his hand, his palm swirling with tangible true True Qi. Then, he threw a punch, the domineering fist energy shattering a building.
Upon seeing this, Yu Tianheng was overjoyed. "As expected, in the Slaughter City, Martial Soul are suppressed, making it impossible to use any Soul Skill. However, the power of Martial Dao originates from oneself and does not belong to this world, so it can be used."
In this way, with Yu Tianheng's Martial Dao cultivation at the Peak Heavenly Human Realm, he would have no fear of any opponent as long as he did not face the Slaughter City King of Slaughter.
Shortly after entering the Slaughter City, a girl in a black dress slowly walked towards Yu Tianheng.
"Hello, newcomer. I am the messenger of the King of Slaughter, here to inform you of the rules of the Slaughter City and to give you your identity token."
As she spoke, the girl in the black dress handed Yu Tianheng a plaque.
The number "9314" was written on it.
Yu Tianheng took the plaque and kept it safe.
"The rules of the Slaughter City are..." Before the girl in the black dress could finish speaking, Yu Tianheng interrupted her, "You don't need to say anything more. I know the rules of the Slaughter City: there are no rules, everything is decided by strength!"
Upon hearing this, the girl in the black dress was slightly surprised. She hadn't expected that this young-looking newcomer would know so much; he didn't seem like a first-timer.
However, out of professional ethics, the girl in the black dress still explained the rules of the Slaughter City to Yu Tianheng.
In this Slaughter City, there exists a series of cruel rules, as follows:
The first battle rule is that the Hell Slaughter Arena is the main battleground. Each match involves ten Soul Master in a free-for-all, and only one person can survive to win a match. To leave the Slaughter City, one must win one hundred consecutive matches, which means killing 900 people.
The second strength restriction rule is that Soul Master entering the Slaughter City cannot use Soul Skill and can only rely on their Martial Soul, Soul Power, and items to fight. This lowers the combat power level between Soul Master, and even Titled Douluo will have their strength greatly restricted here.
The third mandatory participation rule is that all Soul Master who enter the Slaughter City must participate in a battle in the Hell Slaughter Arena every year. If they do not participate or fail, they will face death. Only by winning can they continue to live in the Slaughter City another year.
The fourth matchmaking rule stipulates that the number of wins between Soul Master participating in the Hell Slaughter Arena cannot differ by more than 5, in order to ensure that the strength of the two sides is relatively balanced.
The fifth rule of entry and exit: entering the Slaughter City relatively easy, but leaving is extremely difficult. In addition to winning a hundred battles in the Hell Slaughter Arena, one must also pass through the Hell Road guarded by ancient divine beasts in order to truly leave and obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
After hearing these rules, Yu Tianheng Slaughter City.
The reason he came to the Slaughter City was to become the God of Slaughter and obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain, so as to destroy the opportunity that originally belonged to Tang San. If possible, it would be best to kill him and remove this major threat.
But Yu Tianheng knew that this was a difficult task. Not to mention that Tang San had the protagonist's halo, which allowed him to turn misfortune into good fortune, Tang Hao was definitely hiding in the shadows to protect Tang San. He had also ventured into the Slaughter City and become one of the Gods of Slaughter. According to the rules, he could freely enter and Slaughter City. If Tang San really encountered any life-threatening crisis, Tang Hao would definitely lend a helping hand.
With his current strength, he was far from being a match for Tang Hao.
However, we can't kill Tang San, but we can give him a good beating to boost his morale.
Crimson mist, like thick blood plasma, permeated the inner city of the Slaughter City. Yu Tianheng stepped over the blood-stained bluestone tiles and entered the area.
The Slaughter City is divided into inner and outer cities.
Killing is forbidden in the outer city, where one is protected by the King of Slaughter. The inner city, however, has far fewer rules and restrictions. No Bloody Mary are required, and one can kill and rob at will. Murders, corpse robberies, and debauchery are common sights on the streets.
In terms of living environment, the outer city is a desolate place with no houses; people can only find caves to live in, making the living conditions extremely poor. In contrast, the inner city offers better housing and living conditions if one has the strength to seize it.
In terms of survival requirements, the residents of the outer city are called the Fallen Ones. They choose to live here because they dare not enter the inner city. They need to pay two cups of Yellow Springs Dew, which is condensed from the blood and Soul Power of Soul Master, as a living fee every month.
Every year, residents of the inner city must participate in a life-or-death battle in the Slaughter Arena. Ten people participate, and only one survives. Only those who survive can continue to live in the inner city.
In terms of personnel composition, the outer city mainly consists of fallen individuals who dare not enter the inner city to participate in the life-or-death battle. Most of them are relatively weak or choose to live a life of ignominy out of fear of death.
