In Yu Tianheng's eyes, A Chen was nothing more than a dispensable pawn. The reason he taught him the cultivation method of " Blood Demon Skill " was only to make him cause trouble for Tang San.
This would keep the others preoccupied, giving him time to accumulate a hundred consecutive wins in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
After more than half a year, Yu Tianheng had achieved a ninety-nine-game winning streak in the Hell Slaughter Arena. He was only one game away from achieving a hundred-game winning streak and then entering the Hell Road to obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
In this way, the objective has been achieved, and whether Tang San lives or dies is of little importance.
But that idiot A Chen actually used this to blackmail Yu Tianheng, forcing him to hand over the second half of the " Blood Demon Skill ". After being refused, he even launched a sneak attack.
Such behavior deserves to be punished!
Several days later.
In the Hell Slaughter Arena of the Slaughter City, the bells of victory rang out twice in one day.
First came Hu Liena, who, with her Charm movements and sharp fox tail, trapped her 100th opponent in an illusion. Her opponent collapsed under the intense illusion and pain, ultimately falling at her feet.
In another battle, Yu Tianheng summoned the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, crushing his opponent in his hundredth battle with absolute power. When the lightning dissipated, the bodies of the nine opponents he had fought against had been reduced to charcoal.
The victory bells, ringing out only an hour apart, shook the entire Slaughter City.
This is an unprecedented sight—two powerhouses achieving a 100-game winning streak on the same day.
That night, Yu Tianheng and Hu Liena were led to the palace that was shrouded in shadow year-round. On the throne, the King of Slaughter's scarlet eyes swept over the two of them, and his hoarse voice echoed in the empty palace, "Congratulations on achieving a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena. Your names are etched into the blood of the Slaughter City."
He raised his hand and waved, and two dark gold tokens floated in front of the two men. The tokens were engraved with twisted skulls and blood-red longswords—the very symbols of the "God of Slaughter City."
Hu Liena accepted the token, her fingertips lightly tracing the cold metal surface. Her nine fox tails swayed gently behind her. She looked up at the King of Slaughter, her red lips parting slightly. " King of Slaughter, now that we have acquired the title of God of Slaughter, we request entry into the Hell Road."
The King of Slaughter's crimson eyes narrowed slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, " The Hell Road is a dead end, with nine out of ten going there and dying. Even if you are gods of slaughter, you may not be able to pass through alive. Why not stay in the Slaughter City and rule this place with me? Power and strength are all mine." This was a rare attempt by him to persuade them to stay.
Hu Liena shook her head, her eyes gleaming with determination. "The victory in the Slaughter City is just the beginning; Hell Road is our ultimate goal."
Yu Tianheng also gripped the God of Slaughter Token tightly, a flash of purple-gold lightning passing through his eyes. "Your Majesty's kindness is appreciated, but our ambitions lie elsewhere."
The King of Slaughter, seeing the resolute expressions on their faces, chuckled softly, "Typical youthful spirit. Very well, the entrance to Hell Road lies right behind you."
As he finished speaking, a hidden door deep within the palace slowly opened, revealing a bottomless darkness behind it, from which a chilling aura could be faintly felt.
Hu Liena and Yu Tianheng exchanged a glance, both seeing determination in each other's eyes. They turned simultaneously and stepped into the darkness. Hu Liena's fox tail swayed slightly, while Yu Tianheng circulated his cultivation, purple-gold lightning swirling around him, illuminating their path.
"Good luck to you." The King of Slaughter's voice came from behind, carrying a strange undertone.
The two did not turn back, their figures gradually disappearing into the darkness. Only their two auras, walking side by side, intertwined at the entrance to the deathly silent Hell Road, forming an unstoppable force.
The gloom of the Slaughter City clung to the entrance of Hell Road like congealed scabs. Yu Tianheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Hu Liena beside him. At this moment, her face was filled with a determined look of certainty.
"Let's go!" Yu Tianheng said in a deep voice. At the same time, he circulated True Qi in his palm, and the crackling electric current dispelled some of the bloody heat wave that was coming towards them.
Hu Liena nodded, her eyes scanning her surroundings warily.
The moment you step onto the Hell Road, the scalding air feels like countless needles piercing the surface, the ground is covered in sticky blood, and the gurgling sound of churning lava in the distance is like a death knell.
The deeper you go, the more intense the murderous aura becomes in the air. It is the condensed resentment of countless fallen people before their deaths, seeping into their lungs with every breath and burning their nerves.
"Something's wrong..." Hu Liena's voice suddenly trembled, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead. Her pupils turned red at a visible speed, and her once lively eyes were replaced by violence. The Soul Power around her became wild and restless—the murderous aura of the Slaughter City had been eroding Hu Liena for years, but she had forcibly suppressed it. However, after entering the Hell Road, the extreme environment here instantly detonated the murderous aura within her.
"Hmm?" Yu Tianheng sensed something was wrong and was about to reach out to help her when she suddenly raised her head. Her blood-red eyes held no rationality, only pure killing intent.
He looks like he's gone mad.
Not good! Yu Tianheng reacted instantly. Hu Liena's mind had been corrupted by the killing intent. As for himself, he had used his Protective Gang Qi to isolate himself from the killing intent, which was why he was unaffected. Hu Liena didn't have that ability and had already been affected.
"Die!" Hu Liena shouted, her fox tail phantom swelled, and with a sharp gust of wind, it rushed straight at Yu Tianheng's face. Her speed was astonishing, clearly controlled by killing intent, instinctively wanting to tear the "enemy" in front of her to shreds.
Yu Tianheng's pupils contracted, and he dared not be careless. He unleashed the full power of his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, his dragon scales covering his arms, and the power of Thunder exploded. "Wake up! It's me!" He did not take the hit head-on, but instead dodged to the side like Gui Mei, while reaching out to grab Hu Liena's wrist.
Hu Liena acted as if she hadn't heard, and with her other hand, sharp claws materialized, each move ruthless and deadly.
Yu Tianheng had no choice but to defend himself, as he couldn't just kill her directly. He formed a barrier of Thunder around himself, and whenever Hu Liena's attack landed, it would be deflected by the electric current.
After a few rounds, he seized an opening, locking Hu Liena's arms with his left hand like an iron clamp, and pointing a finger at Hu Liena's forehead with his right hand.
"Buzz—" An electric current surged into Hu Liena's brow, stimulating her chaotic mind. She groaned, her body struggling violently, but the bloodshot in her eyes faded slightly. Yu Tianheng seized the opportunity to tighten his grip, firmly restraining her. "Don't move! It's the killing intent that's corrupting your mind!"
Feeling the struggles of the person in his arms gradually weaken, Yu Tianheng breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at her— Hu Liena's eyes were closed, and her face was pale, clearly indicating that the loss of control earlier had exhausted too much energy. He frowned; this situation had already occurred at the very beginning of the Hell Road, and it would only become more dangerous later.
