Chapter 125: Return to Slaughter City_1

On the other side, having escaped from Pope Hall, Shrek's companions quickly left Martial Soul City...

Ning Rongrong, with her legs feeling sore from running, slowly sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, "Cough cough..."

The same was true for the other members of Shrek...

Oscar patted his chest, "Exhausted! Damn Martial Soul Hall!"

Ma Hongjun smashed his fist into the ground, angry, "Martial Soul Hall, someday, we Shrek Seven Monsters will avenge the Headmaster!"

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing looked at each other, seeming to have made some sort of decision...

Seeing that Shrek's companions were unharmed, Du Gu Bo nodded slightly to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, then said to Tang San, "Since everything is fine now, little monster, I'll be leaving this place first."

Tang San looked at Du Gu Bo with a complex expression, saying slowly, "Old monster, take care..."

Du Gu Bo had stood in front of him under such critical circumstances. Tang San would forever remember this kindness.

With a heartfelt smile, Du Gu Bo said, "Alright, little monster, you take care as well."

With those words, he quickly left. Having intervened against Martial Soul Hall, he needed to take his granddaughter Dugu Yan to a safe place.

The Tiandou Empire was no longer safe for them now.

After Du Gu Bo left, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing slowly stood up and looked apologetically at the other Shrek members, "Everyone, Zhu Qing and I need to go back to the Xingluo Empire..."

They had stayed here long enough, and it was time to go back to check on things, and also, to regain what they had lost...

Oscar spoke with a tinge of sadness, "Big brother Dai... Are you and Zhu Qing both leaving?"

Ma Hongjun pursed his lips, "Then our Shrek Seven Monsters are down to just five."

Ning Rongrong's eyes were slightly red, "Will we see each other again in the future?"

Tang San, with a smile on his face, said, "Is that so? Mubai and Zhu Qing have been here for quite a time, it's indeed time to go back and have a look."

However, despite his outward appearance, he felt a sense of loss in his heart...

Xiaowu at his side reached out to comfortingly grasp Tang San's hand...

"Xiaosan, I will always be with you."

"Mhm!" Tang San nodded with some consolation and then looked back at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Dai Mubai smiled softly, assuringly said, "We definitely will. Even if we Shrek members are not together in the future, there will come a day when we'll reunite. Also, Tang San, don't forget the promise you made with me!"

Zhu Zhuqing also, with teary eyes, bravely smiled and said, "Mubai and I are going to take back what's rightfully ours. I believe it won't be long before we meet again!"

Tang San, staring at Dai Mubai, said earnestly, "I won't forget. If you're ever in trouble, Mubai, no matter where, I will come!"

...

Afterward, Ning Rongrong and Oscar followed Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin back to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect...

With Shrek no longer existing, Ma Hongjun chose to go and train while traveling the Continent...

Soon, the place that had just been bustling with activity was left with only Tang San and Xiaowu...

Tang San asked with some emotion, "Xiaowu, do you think Teacher and Aunt Erlong are still alive?"

Headmaster Flender had been killed by Brother Sheng, and he hadn't been able to stop it in time. Now, he didn't know the status of the Teacher and Liu Erlong.

Xiaowu comforted, "Mom and Grandmaster must still be alive, waiting for us to save them."

Suddenly, Tang San sensed a fluctuation of soul power behind him and immediately stood up, looking back with heightened alertness, "Who is it?"

In the next moment, Yama's Invitation had appeared in his hand...

Feeling the formidable strength of the approaching person, Xiaowu, as a soul beast, instinctively shrank behind Tang San…

The figure cloaked in a cape, Tang Hao, stepped out slowly, his voice hoarse, "It's me."

Tang San immediately stowed away Yama's Invitation, looking excitedly at the man before him, "Dad?"

Tang Hao gave Tang San a casual glance and slowly turned his gaze toward Xiaowu hiding behind Tang San…

He stated coldly, "Xiaosan, you go over there first, I want to talk to it."

Tang San hesitated, "This…"

Once again, Tang Hao spoke slowly, "Don't worry, I won't harm her. I just want to talk to her."

Reassured by Tang Hao's affirmation, Tang San pursed his lips and could only agree, "Alright…"

Having said that, he patted Xiaowu's shoulder before turning around to leave the place…

Seeing Xiaowu, who bore a hint of hostility, standing before him, Tang Hao started, "Do you know? Tang San's mother was actually a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

Upon hearing this, Xiaowu's eyes widened instantly, and the hostility in her eyes gradually faded away…

…

At this moment, Xu Sheng had led Hulena and Evil Moon to the same place where he first entered Slaughter City.

The sight remained the same: a Blood Moon eclipsed the sun, emitting a sinister atmosphere soaked with the scent of blood that hit the face…

The intensity of the atmosphere made both Hulena and Evil Moon look slightly pale…

Xu Sheng, watching their every move, pointed toward the misty locust tree in front and said lightly, "If you can't bear it? Go over there and have a look."

While somewhat skeptical, trusting Xu Sheng, Hulena and Evil Moon each manifested a longsword in their hands and then cautiously walked into the mist…

The thick fog instantly enveloped the two, and then from Xu Sheng's point of view, one could only hear the sound of numerous sword blades slicing flesh resounding within…

A few minutes later, Hulena and Evil Moon emerged, their clothes stained with copious amounts of crimson liquid, their faces pale as they walked out…

Upon walking out, Hulena's first words were to suppress the rolling nausea and ask, "Xu Sheng, were those all humans?"

"These people seemed to have lost their sanity, and also, they kept repeating 'Bloody Mary'!"

Right after they had entered, the fog swiftly closed in, and then at least a dozen creatures, strikingly similar to humans, charged out…

The pupils of every creature were blood-red, as if they saw the two of them as food!

Xu Sheng explained indifferently, "What you saw were indeed living humans! However, since they drank Bloody Mary, their minds were influenced."

Hulena and Evil Moon swallowed hard in disbelief. This meant that they had just slaughtered dozens of living beings!

Evil Moon clenched her teeth and pressed for an answer, "What exactly is this Bloody Mary?"

Hulena was also staring at Xu Sheng, waiting for his response; the Bloody Mary must be no good thing!

"Bloody Mary, simply put, is human blood!"

…

Afterward, Xu Sheng had each of them drink a cup of Bloody Mary before opening the passage to Slaughter City…

As the three of them leaped down what seemed like a space crack…

An icy voice immediately sounded around them, "Welcome to Slaughter City, Killing God: Cold Sword, and the two newcomers!"

…
