Chapter 22: Slaughter City (Part 1)

"We have arrived.." Tang Hao said.

The town in front of the duo was where the entrance to the Slaughter City was located. Even though this place was regarded as a town, it was rather desolate and had strange vibes to it. The town gave off a very uncomfortable feeling.

"Why? Scared?" Tang Hao smiled mockingly.

"Scared my foot." Nian Zhen grumbled.

"This is as far as I go. Head towards the tavern there. They will give you a very wonderful drink. Drink it and you will be able to enter the city." Tang Hao said.

"Old man give me a hug." Nian Zhen suddenly said while faking his expression that made him look like he was crying.

"Roll!" A blue vein popped in Tang Hao's forehead. Not staying even a second here, Tang Hao immediately disappeared.

"Hahaha…" Nian Zhen laughed.

Entering the tavern, Nian Zhen was greeted by a group of burly old men, probably around rank 40-50 drinking a crimson drink. Aman was behind the bar counter preparing more of this drink. Heading towards the Bar, Nian Zhen received many stares.

Ignoring the whispers, Nian Zhen called out the Bartender.

"A drink…" Nian Zhen said with a smile. The bartender nodded and gave Nian Zhen a glass of Bloody Mary. Picking the glass, Nian Zhen directly gulped it down.

"Dang. It's surprisingly good...Another glass" Nian Zhen said. Even though the Bartender felt a little strange, he still handed another cup to Nian Zhen. In the shocked eyes of the people inside the tavern and Tang Hao who was hiding, Nian Zhen directly gulped it down like water.

*Burp*

"Woo that was nasty and tasty." Nian Zhen commented.

"Now show me the entrance to the City." Nian Zhen said coldly to the Bartender.

"Not so fast, kid." A burly man stood up and walked towards Nian Zhen.

"Really? This again. Are all people stupid. Sigh….Precipice Blades.." As soon as Nian Zhen said that, Blades made of rock came out from the earth directly slashing everyone except the Bartender inside the tavern.

"Now that they have been cleared out. Show me the way." Nian Zhen said with a bright smile on his face.

Looking at the monster, the bartender opened a secret door and respectfully bowed at Nian Zhen, "This way, Sir."

"Good." Nian Zhen patted the man's shoulder. The man soon after completely burned to death.

"Catch up with ya later, Old man" Nian Zhen said to Tang Hao who was currently hiding as he entered inside the secret door.

"...."

Slaughter City Outskirts.

Nian Zhen had now changed his clothes and was wearing a Black robe while completely covering his face with a black mask.

[Host. Spirit Abilities seemed to have been locked by some mysterious force.]

"Hmm. This was expected. What about the techniques and abilities that don't require spirit power?"

[They seem to be working fine.]

"Good. Though I won't be using them Right now I just want to fight while using raw strength. I want to check my physical strength." Nian Zhen said.

After walking for a while, Nian Zhen appeared in front of the gate that leads inside Slaughter City.

Using dimensional shift to change places with an object 500 meters away, Nian Zhen entered the City without anyone noticing him at all.

After entering the City, Nian Zhen went around searching for an inn.

"Isn't this city beautiful." Nian Zhen said. To be honest, the city was the very definition of 'Not beautiful at all'.

Finally finding an inn, Nian Zhen rented a room. Entering the room, Nian Zhen cleared all the garbage and sealed the room completely.

"Wew...I am tired." Nian Zhen said.

[Host what are you gonna do now?]

"Well for now I will just take it easy. I will begin tomorrow. We are staying here for 2-3 years after all." Nian Zhen said, stretching his arms lazily.

"By the way show my status."

"Sigh. They say the stronger you get the lonelier you will be in many cultivation novels. Is that what is gonna happen to me?" Nian Zhen thought.

[Host….You won't feel lonely at all. I mean whenever I see your memories, I always picture you having 10000 girls in your harem and you spend time with them from day to night.]

"Do you want me to lose my Dulong!? 10,000 girls? Even if god wouldn't be able to kill me, they will certainly kill me by sucking me dry." Nian Zhen said, wiping off cold sweats from his forehead.

[.....Host. If I had a physical form, I would really slap you. Your sense of humor disgusts me. Requesting permission for update. (Y/N)?]
