Meeting the King of Killing!

======

With the Slaughter Knight driving, combined with a clear destination, the speed of Fang Yuan and his group was extremely fast.

Within just a week, they had arrived in Huangsha Town.

Huangsha Town was one of the entrances to the City of Slaughter. Most of the people here were those who wanted to enter the City of Slaughter but didn't have the guts to do so.

The place was a mix of all sorts of dragons and fishes, and as soon as Fang Yuan and his group entered, they immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

The is no other reason: an old man was following a young man, accompanied by four beautiful women. Such a combination was attention-grabbing wherever they went, let alone in a place like Huangsha Town.

"I haven't been back for around half a year, it seems this place has gathered more rubbish than before," Fang Yuan muttered as he felt the intense gazes around him.

The Slaughter Knight beside him remained expressionless, but crimson soul power had already surged in his palm.

In the blink of an eye, that crimson soul power transformed into countless small bats, flapping their wings, and flying toward the garbage.

Although these garbage had some soul power, this was a Title Douluo attack, so how could they resist?

Before they could react, the bats had already pounced on them, devouring both their blood and soul power, leaving behind nothing but shriveled corpses in an instant.

The bloody method made the cat sisters' pupils contract, and Huo Yun's mouth opened in shock, her eyes filled with fear.

On the other hand, Nightingale didn't show the slightest surprise and calmly said to the three women, "No need to panic. These trashes aren't even worthy of being called human, and describing them as animals is already a compliment."

"Remember, life is the cheapest commodity in the City of Slaughter. Even law enforcers can't guarantee their own safety here."

"There are no friends here; everyone is an enemy. They might be your friends who entered the City of Slaughter together, a bed partner from last night, or even your teammates a second ago!"

"If you want to survive here, you must be prepared to kill anyone who might pose a threat to you!"

The three women swallowed hard; their eyes filled with fear.

The next moment, Nightingale chuckled, "Alright, alright, I was just scaring you. As law enforcers and managers of the City of Slaughter, we naturally have some privileges, which make us different from ordinary fallen."

"Thinking about it, there is not much different from the management of the Spirit Hall or the two great empires. We're just a bit more ruthless."

"Besides, we're all under the Holy Son now. As long as we follow the Holy Son, we don't need to worry about anything else."

Nightingale spoke casually, but the three women didn't relax at all.

The Slaughter Knight's introduction had been too shocking, and as they stepped into the City of Slaughter, the continuous scenes of killing, plundering, and debauchery happening around them were like a violent storm, assaulting their beliefs and minds!

The bloody, gruesome scenes made their stomachs churn, and they couldn't stop retching.

It was only when the group reached the tallest building in the inner city of the City of Slaughter that Fang Yuan said, "Alright."

He turned to Nightingale and said, "The Captain and I will go to report to King Fu. Nightingale, take Zhuqing, Zhuyun, and Miss Huo Yun to get familiar with the City of Slaughter first."

"Yes, Holy Son."

Nightingale nodded respectfully and then turned to the three women, "Sisters, come with me."

Coming back to the City of Slaughter, Nightingale's aura had evidently undergone some subtle changes.

Outside, she might not have stood out much despite her unique aura, but in the City of Slaughter, she was the killing messenger who made countless fallen tremble in fear!

Nightingale led the three women away, while Fang Yuan, accompanied by the Slaughter Knight, entered the central castle of the City of Slaughter.

The surroundings remained just as gloomy and dark as before, with a pervasive stench of blood and death in the air.

They traversed dark corridors and entered a vast, dark hall.

A scarlet figure sat on a massive dark-red skeletal throne constructed of crystal, gently swaying a cup filled with blood-red liquid in hand.

Obviously, the King of Slaughter had received information about Fang Yuan and the others returning, but when seeing Fang Yuan and the Slaughter Knight, he was obviously taken aback.

Something was different, very different!

Both the Slaughter Knight and Fang Yuan were not the same!

The King of Slaughter stared at the two, and even from a distance, he could sense the rich life force emanating from them.

Moreover, he noticed Fang Yuan's level.

"Level 49?!"

The King of Slaughter's pupils contracted slightly. In his expectations, Fang Yuan's accumulated soul power should have been enough to support him to reach level 30 at most. But now, Fang Yuan had already reached level 49!

This meant that in less than a year, Fang Yuan had advanced by a full 19 levels!

What happened?!

In the King of Slaughter's understanding, a level increase of 19 in a year was something only legendary gods could achieve.

Obviously, Fang Yuan must have had a great opportunity this year, something that could rival even the God Trials!

Furthermore, that fortuitous encounter had also benefited the Slaughter Knight...

The King of Slaughter's eyes showed bewilderment, and then this amazement turned into insatiable greed, all concealed behind the red glow in his eyes.

He looked at Fang Yuan, and his hoarse and deep voice revealed no emotion. "My good disciple, it seems that you have gained a lot from going out this time."

"A little gain, Your Majesty," Fang Yuan respectfully replied with a bow, but his heart was cautious.

Just a moment ago, his mental sense had detected a strong malice and greed emanating from the King of Slaughter.

Although it had been fleeting, it was obvious that from the moment he saw him, his beloved master had some ulterior motives for him.

"It seems that you've come prepared when you came back this time," the King of Slaughter said, finishing the blood-red liquid in his cup and standing up to look at Fang Yuan. "Clear the Hell Road, completing your first trial!"

Facing the King of Slaughter, Fang Yuan kept his demeanor low, perfectly adopting the master-apprentice dynamic.

The King of Slaughter was far too powerful, and even if he had other intentions towards Fang Yuan, the current Fang Yuan wouldn't be able to resist.

If he could join forces with the Slaughter Knight, there might be a slim chance, but the question was, will the Slaughter Knight oppose the King of Slaughter for him?

Fang Yuan didn't know.

"There's no preparation; it's just that the time has come,"

Fang Yuan sighed lightly and said helplessly, "The God Trials gave me a one-year time limit, and now that the year is almost up, whether I want to or not, I have to face the trial!"

"Ah, Teacher, the difficulty of the Hell Road is, you see..."

Looking at Fang Yuan winking toward him, the King of Slaughter shook his head and scolded him with a smile, "Don't think about trying to slip away. The Hell Road is not something I can control."

"The Hell Road is a relic left by the gods. Each time it opens, the trials within are different, and even though I'm the King of Slaughter, I cannot interfere with these assessments."

"But I believe that since you've come back, you must be prepared. After all, you're my disciple!"
