The subordinate practically scrambled into A Chen's residence, his voice trembling. "B-Master! The person you're looking for... that Tang Yin, he's here! He just arrived in the Slaughter City!"
"What?!" A Chen, who was toying with a bloodstained dagger, suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with wild joy, even carrying a hint of barely suppressed ruthlessness. "I've searched high and low without finding it! This kid actually dares to deliver himself to my doorstep?"
He slammed his hand on the table, shattering the wine jar. Wine mingled with blood spilled across the surface. A Chen's voice suddenly turned cold, carrying an undeniable command, "Pass on my order: take twenty skilled men and go kill him right now! Remember, don't let him live to see tomorrow's sun. And his body... drag it back!"
The subordinates dared not delay, bowed and replied "Yes," then turned and rushed out, afraid that being a step too late would ruin the important matter.
A Chen gazed at his retreating figure, a cruel smile playing on his lips as he stroked the bloodstains on his short sword, " Tang Yin, Tang Yin, I've finally found you. As long as I kill you, I can obtain the second half of the Blood Demon Skill Technique. After secretly cultivating it, my strength will surely increase greatly. Dominating the entire Slaughter City in the future wouldn't be impossible. Maybe I can even go out and see the outside world."
The inner city of the Slaughter City was even more oppressive than the outer city, with the stench of blood in the air almost tangible. Tang San, using the alias Tang Yin, had only taken a few steps into this area when he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps behind him, accompanied by heavy breathing and a sinister laugh.
He turned around abruptly and saw that dozens of men wielding sharp knives had surrounded him, each with fierce eyes, like hungry wolves eyeing their prey.
The leader licked the blood from his blade and grinned maliciously, "Kid, didn't expect that, did you? You've already been caught as soon as you entered the inner city!"
Tang San frowned slightly, puzzled. He had expected chaos in the Slaughter City, but he hadn't anticipated being surrounded by such a large force as soon as he entered. Was the rule here to kill all newcomers?
He suppressed his doubts, quietly circulating his Soul Power within his body, while remaining outwardly calm. "I have no prior acquaintance with any of you, why must we be so ruthless?"
"Enough talk! Prepare to die!" The other side clearly had no intention of saying more. With a command, dozens of blades slashed down simultaneously, their cold light weaving into a web of death in the dim light.
Tang San's eyes sharpened, and his figure suddenly shifted—he unleashed the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, weaving through the flashing blades like Gui Mei, narrowly avoiding the first wave of attacks.
He didn't want to reveal his strength here, but the other party was already determined to kill him, leaving him no room to hold back.
"Since that's the case, don't blame me." He uttered a low growl, and several cold glints suddenly shot out from his left hand— Dragon Whisker Needle pierced through the air, accurately piercing the wrists of the people at the front, and screams of agony immediately rang out.
Taking advantage of the enemy's disorganized formation, he picked up the Clear Sky Hammer and unleashed the "Break" technique from the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes. The hammer, carrying immense power, sent two men flying, the sound of their bones shattering clearly audible.
A chaotic battle erupted instantly. Tang San was like a tiger among sheep, yet he possessed the precision and ruthlessness of a venomous snake.
The illusory image of the Clear Sky Hammer appears and disappears, each swing accompanied by flying flesh and blood; Hidden Weapon are constantly shot out from the sleeves, either attacking the enemy's vitals or hindering their progress, always disrupting the opponent's rhythm at the most crucial moment.
His movements were as fast as lightning, combining fierceness and agility. Sometimes his punches landed squarely, and sometimes his Hidden Weapon were deadly. He perfectly combined the Tang Sect Secret Arts with the secret techniques of the Clear Sky Sect.
Although many men surrounded him, they couldn't keep up with his speed, let alone withstand his fierce attacks.
Screams, the sound of weapons hitting the ground, and the cracking of bones rose and fell in waves. In just a short while, more than a dozen people lay dead in pools of blood.
The remaining men were terrified at the sight, but their attack became even more ferocious.
Tang San gradually felt the strain after a prolonged battle. His left arm was accidentally slashed with a deep wound that exposed the bone, and he was also stabbed several times in the back. Blood instantly stained his sleeves.
His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he no longer held back—dozens of Bone-Piercing Nail shot out simultaneously, accurately hitting the throats of the remaining men!
When the last person fell, the surrounding area was littered with corpses, and the stench of blood was so strong it was nauseating.
Tang San clutched his bleeding left arm, his face pale, breathing rapidly. He looked at the corpses scattered on the ground, his doubts deepening: this was no ordinary ambush by newcomers; it seemed that the enemy's target was him.
Not daring to linger, he forced himself to endure his injuries and quickly found a secluded abandoned building to hide inside. He circulated his Soul Power to temporarily suppress the bleeding while vigilantly observing the movements outside.
We must find out as soon as possible who is targeting " Tang Yin," otherwise he will find it impossible to move an inch in this Slaughter City.
Deep within the inner city of the Slaughter City, in a mansion built of black stone, candlelight flickers, illuminating the blood-stained decorations throughout the room.
One of his men scrambled into the main hall, fell to his knees with a thud, and cried out in a trembling voice, "Sir... the brothers we sent... are all gone! That Tang Yin... he's vanished without a trace too!"
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!" A Chen slammed his wine glass to the ground, shards of glass mingling with the crimson wine, splattering everywhere. His previously confident face was now contorted with rage, veins throbbing on his forehead. "Dozens of men! Couldn't even take down a kid who just entered the inner city? And he got away?!"
He rushed over to his henchman, kicked him to the ground, and his eyes flashed with a murderous rage. "What use are you bunch of useless trash to me?!"
The subordinate cowered on the ground, not daring to utter a sound, only trembling in fear.
A Chen took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his heart, which transformed into a cold and ruthless intensity that bordered on madness.
He knew that anyone who caught that person's eye was no nobody, and Tang Yin's ability to survive being surrounded by dozens of people proved that. But so what?
He was ultimately just a person!
"Listen up!" A Chen suddenly raised his voice and roared towards the outside of the hall, "Immediately gather all the manpower and search the entire inner city until you find Tang Yin! Don't miss an inch of land! Alleys, ruins, taverns... search carefully anywhere he might be hiding!"
He paused, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes, and said, word by word, "Find his trail, but do not act rashly. Return immediately and report back! This time, I will do it myself!"
"I want to see just what this Tang Yin is capable of!" A Chen's voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying an undeniable command, "If you can't find him, don't come back!"
"Yes! Yes!" A flurry of responses immediately rang out from outside the hall, and countless dark figures instantly scattered from all parts of the mansion, like hungry dogs smelling blood, rushing towards every corner of the inner city.
A Chen stood rooted to the spot, his clenched fists turning white at the knuckles, his eyes flashing with venomous resentment. He licked his chapped lips and muttered to himself, " Tang Yin... you can't escape. I'll personally snap your neck, take your head to that lord, and then make him pass on the second half of the Blood Demon Skill Technique to me!"
