Chapter 89 Promises Given to You_1

Tang Chen saw Xu Sheng charging straight at him, seemingly without any additional tactics...

In battle, the seasoned Tang Chen couldn't help but frown and think, "Is he really planning to just clash head-on? Even though it's a spar, it shouldn't be this crude!"

The higher the level of combat, the more important the details become. An attack as reckless as Xu Sheng's was truly beneath standard...

However, it wasn't until Xu Sheng was only a few meters away from Tang Chen that Tang Chen realized something was amiss!

The third soul ring at Xu Sheng's feet unexpectedly lit up as well, pupils contracting, "Wait a minute, when did this kid use his third soul skill?"

He had clearly only seen Xu Sheng use his second soul skill just now!

Before he had time to ponder, Xu Sheng, who was only a few meters away, curled up the corners of his mouth...

His third soul skill was a teleporting class, allowing him to silently appear behind the opponent within a five-meter range and it could be released in conjunction with other soul skills!

Moreover, the third soul ring would light up three seconds late!

This meant that as long as the distance was close enough, and if the opponent didn't catch any slip-up, they might not even get the chance to react before being instantly killed by Xu Sheng!

In an instant, Tang Chen understood what Xu Sheng's gaze meant and thought to himself, "Damn it! There's something off about this kid!"

The premonition struck him, and the sixth soul ring under his feet quickly lit up...

"Too late!!" Just as Xu Sheng uttered these two words, holding the Ice Rose Sword that was swirling with vortexes, his entire figure vanished into thin air right in front of Tang Chen's eyes...

Tang Chen narrowed his eyes, "A teleporting class soul skill!"

The next second, the attack from the hand holding the Ice Rose Sword, with its tip surrounded by a cold vortex, landed squarely on Tang Chen...

The fierce vortex burst forth from the Ice Rose Sword, lifting Tang Chen's body into the air with a forceful thrust, the vortex immediately expanding dozens of times with a powerful tearing effect, madly shredding Tang Chen who was sucked into it, turning the entire sky into a frosty hue...

Looking at the still-unsettled vortex above, Xu Sheng pursed his lips in surprise, "The sky has changed, could it be that I accidentally killed Tang Chen!"

Even though he was an Ultimate Douluo, Xu Sheng was not sure whether Tang Chen could withstand that attack with his physical body alone!

As the vortex in the sky gradually dissipated, Tang Chen's body plummeted from the sky and lay there lifelessly...

This chilling scene made Xu Sheng narrow his eyes, unconsciously confirming his recent speculation...

Tang Chen might have really been killed unexpectedly by himself!

With a desolate mindset, Xu Sheng walked towards that figure...

Just as he approached the body, suddenly a hand grabbed his shoulder...

Xu Sheng didn't look back because he knew, it must be Tang Chen...

But if Tang Chen was behind him, then who was the one who had fallen from the sky?

Xu Sheng looked again at the body on the ground, only to see its figure become more and more blurred, and then, it astonishingly transformed into the Blood-Colored Haotian Hammer wrapped in a black robe!

His mouth began to twitch, "Is this soul skill... really that of Tang Chen, who possesses the Haotian Hammer Martial Soul?"

The Tang Chen behind him coldly said, "Boy, playing tricks with me, do you know why I managed to survive countless pursuits and battles and reached level-99 Ultimate Douluo alive?"

Xu Sheng was silent, expressionless, waiting for the rest of the story.

Tang Chen chuckled and continued, "It's because everybody knows my Haotian Hammer is the strongest Tool Soul on the Continent, and so they overlook these minute details!"

"Why does our Haotian Hammer have to choose strong attacking soul skills? A combination like this is far more likely to catch the opponent off guard!"

Face-to-face with such an explanation, Xu Sheng didn't know what to say anymore...

```

Forcefully turning a fear of death into a declaration of lofty ambition...

Xu Sheng retracted the sword in his hand, "That's enough sparring for today. It's about time for your treatment,"

...

In the years that followed, Xu Sheng stayed in Slaughter City for nearly three years!

Every day, besides treating Tang Chen for poison, he would train and spar under the immense pressure of an Ultimate Douluo.

His Soul Power also saw a tremendous improvement, rising from level 94 to level 96!

He grew taller as well, from 1.7 meters to 1.8 meters, and the cold aura that once enveloped him had long since dissipated, now replaced by a gentle elegance that was as refreshing as a spring breeze...

And his devilishly handsome face became ever more refined, full of charm that could stir a woman's heart.

At this moment, at the very top of the Infernal Slaughterhouse!

Xu Sheng slowly withdraws the tendrils of the Nine-Hearted Begonia from Tang Chen's body, and the latter gradually recovers from the paralysis...

Xu Sheng explained, "Most of the toxins in your body have been drawn out; the remaining toxins will have to be suppressed by you."

Sitting on the ground, Tang Chen, now free of the torment of the poisons, looked more lively than before. Not only that, but Xu Sheng had also healed all the scars on his body...

Tang Chen's eyes gradually opened, and he looked at Xu Sheng with an extremely kind and grateful expression...

Tang Chen exclaimed, "Xu Sheng, thank you for your treatment over the past three years. I feel that living another ten years wouldn't be a problem at all."

The lifespan of an Ultimate Douluo is naturally greater than that of ordinary people, and now that Xu Sheng had cleared the toxins from his body, living another ten years was just a conservative estimate.

However, the only downside was that Tang Chen's Cultivation Level had fallen from level 99 to level 97!

Xu Sheng, with a handsome smile on his face, joked, "So, do you plan to return to the outside world, or go find that little lover of yours on Sea God's Island?"

Their relationship now was both that of teacher and student and friends, so teasing each other was commonplace.

Tang Chen's expression immediately changed, and he glared fiercely at Xu Sheng, "You brat, what do you mean 'my little lover'? If it weren't for the vow I made back then not to return until I achieved God Position, by now..."

As he spoke, a tinge of sorrow gradually filled Tang Chen's eyes...

In his youth, he was rash, thinking it would be easy to claim the Asura God's God Position, which ultimately led to his descent into madness and the establishment of Slaughter City!

Xu Sheng spread his hands indifferently, "Whatever you decide, but you're how old now? That little lover Poseissi on Sea God's Island must have aged as well, right?"

But Tang Chen shook his head seriously, denying Xu Sheng's words, "No, her Martial Soul is the Sea God, which has granted her eternal youth. Now I'm just an old man with not many years left. What good would going there do me?"

Poseissi's youthful appearance remains unchanged, while Tang Chen is already half a step into the grave – a love story truly enviable.

But really, what does it have to do with him?

Xu Sheng pursed his lips, turned his back, and casually suggested, "Then just stay in Slaughter City and continue being the King of Slaughter. I'm going to leave; after all, it's been three years..."

He was also ready to leave this place. After three years of daily exposure to the bloody spectacle of the Infernal Slaughterhouse, he had grown tired of it.

Tang Chen slowly stood up, his expression suddenly solemn, and he said seriously, "Wait, Xu Sheng, I haven't given you the thing I promised!"

That object was of no use to him now, and giving it to Xu Sheng would be like fulfilling a wish for himself.

Xu Sheng turned back around, surprised, "Oh?"

If something could elicit such a serious reaction from Tang Chen, it must be no ordinary item...
