Slaughter King (2)

With a wave of a big hand, a deep red liquid flew out from in front of him. In the darkness in front of him was unexpectedly an enormous blood pool, filled with viscous blood.

Gaping and swallowing the blood, in that dim light, two fierce teeth were vaguely revealed.

...

Passing time waiting and cultivation, sitting crosslegged in his small cabin, Tang San's entire body was constantly reached by burst after burst of chills. The tremendous murderous spirit continuously revolved around his body, and also influenced him.

He had already been here for close to two years, and the distance to the champion title in the Hell Slaughter Arena was only one final match. However, Tang San discovered that he was about to collapse.

In two years, the people who had died by his hands far surpassed a thousand. Even though those people were all evil and depraved, with each person he killed, Tang San would feel his own murderous spirit rapidly increase somewhat. And this killing intent also constantly imperceptibly influenced him.

The reason why it had taken two years to gradually approach the final one hundredth victory, besides the issue of the number of people, was even more because of Tang San's own problem.

The constantly rising killing intent was nothing much when it just started rising, but as the number of people Tang San massacred here surpassed a hundred, he discovered that this killing intent began to influence his will. Just at the start, he would only occasionally display a blood thirsty state of mind, but as time grew longer, the slaughter aura also became ever more clear. It was as if he wanted to kill any living organism he looked at. Casually killing people was as simple as crushing ants.

Therefore, besides participating in the matches, Tang San's cultivation was no longer mainly in the direction of increasing his spirit power, but rather to suppress the ever stronger murderous spirit. Fortunately his Mysterious Heaven Skill was the orthodox inner skill of the profound sects, and it had its own warding effect. He had also received the mind condensing wisdom skull bone, and its mental control capability was extremely powerful, and he wasn't controlled by that idea of massacre.

At the same time, Tang San's slaughtering in the matches could be considered a channel to vent.

Until not long ago, after Tang San completed ninety nine fights in the Hell Slaughter Arena, he faintly sensed that he was almost unable to contain the murderous spirit within him. At the same time, he also understood why Hu Liena had delayed without advancing the one hundredth match despite reaching ninety nine victories long ago.

In this Slaughter City, the two of them could be described as having filled fields of victims. It was also because of their abrupt rise in these two years that the number of degenerates daring to enter the Hell Slaughter Arena had become fewer and fewer. Even more people chose to use their previously saved matches to exist, and when the matches was exhausted, they still gave blood to survive. After all, compared to certain death, the majority of people would choose to struggle on at death's door.

A peng peng knocking sound suddenly echoed from outside. Tang San's restrained killing intent rose practically instantly rose, and the not very small cabin instantly turned ice cold. Under the oppressive murderous spirit, a heavy aura filled the air, the stink of blood imperceptibly releasing from Tang San.

"Who?"

Tang San asked in a low voice.

"It's me."

A pleasant voice resounded from outside. Even though Tang San hadn't heard this voice many times, he still at once identified the owner of the voice as Hu Liena.

Brows wrinkling slightly, Tang San inwardly thought, why did she come?

With a casual wave, a stream of air rushed out and opened the door,

"Please come in."

Not knowing Hu Liena's purpose in coming here, Tang San suppressed the killing intent in his heart, but his vigilance had already risen to its peak.

The door open, a black clothed Hu Liena walked in from outside. Her face looked extremely pale, and she slowly sipped a cup of Bloody Mary held in her hand. This seemed to already have become a habit of the powers in Slaughter City. Apart from Tang San, practically every degenerate in Slaughter City with more than ten victories would drink blood taken from who knew where.

Glancing at the cup in Hu Liena's hand, Tang San frowned slightly,

"What is it?"

Hu Liena didn't approach Tang San, rather standing by the door. She clearly understood that in this world of slaughter, each person was extremely vigilant. She didn't want to cause any misunderstanding with Tang San because of some inadvertent action.

"I hope to ally with you."

Hu Liena directly stated her reason here.

"Ally?"

Tang San looked at her somewhat distrustfully,

"You're not unaware of Hell Slaughter Arena's rules. Each fight has only one victor. If we met, how would we ally?"

Hu Liena smiled calmly. A blood red light slipped into her eyes somewhat. Just as Tang San anticipated, Hu Liena was also always struggling in pain these days. Despite also having the aid of a skull type spirit bone, she only hadn't gone insane, further adding that she also had an equally strong will. But compared to Tang San she was still a bit short. Today she had with great difficulty repressed her killing intent somewhat, and then come to find Tang San.

"It's impossible for us to meet in a match. As long as we are past fifty victories, according to the Slaughter City rules, we won't meet each other. Otherwise, who would still be able to rise to one hundred? I didn't come to find you for this, but was rather hoping to ally with you when attacking the Hell Road."

"Hell Road?"

Even though Tang San had heard this name when he just came to Slaughter City, the circumstances of the Hell Road were still completely unfamiliar to Tang San. At that time he had also asked that black masked young woman, but she hadn't given him any answer, saying that the Hell Road was the greatest secret of Slaughter City, and that only champions had the authority to learn about it.

Hu Liena nodded conscientiously,

"Yes, the Hell Road. Even though you and me are on the verge of gaining a hundred victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena, our strength might not be greater than the opponents we once confronted. Just that we both have the capability to gain victory even without spirit abilities, and so walked to this point. To be exact, neither you or me are true degenerates. No need to retort. If my guess isn't wrong, you should be the same as me, here for training, right?"

Tang San was secretly astonished. Hu Liena's credibility was extremely high, at least he hadn't heard any gaps. Moreover, even though Hu Liena was saturated with killing intent, right now the expression in her eyes seemed exceptionally sincere.

"How is this related to participating in the Hell Road?"

Tang San indifferently asked.

A streak of cold light flashed in Hu Liena's eyes,

"Of course it's related. If you aren't corrupted, training until now, it should also be about time to finish. Naturally you will leave this place through the Hell Road. Moreover, there's a gargantuan secret hidden in the Hell Road. Just relying on your or my strength, it's impossible to pass alone. Only if we join forces will we have a chance to succeed."

Tang San smiled indifferently,

"Then why would I believe you? Who knows whether you'll put a knife in my back. Have you forgotten that this is Slaughter City? Nobody can be trusted casually."

Biting her lower lip, even though Hu Liena knew that Tang San's doubt was very ordinary in this place, she still had an uncomfortable feeling in her heart. Deep in her heart, she indeed liked this handsome youth, but her coming to find Tang San today was unrelated to emotions.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the Clear Sky School. Even though there are no spirit abilities, your Clear Sky Hammer can't be hidden from people's eyes."

Hu Liena stared fixedly at Tang San and said.

Tang San glanced at her,

"And so?"

Hu Liena said:

"In order to express my sincerity, I can tell you my background. I'm called Hu Liena, I'm from Spirit Hall. My teacher, is the present Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff."

Hearing this, Tang San's heart twitched. So Hu Liena was the Supreme Pontiff's direct disciple, no wonder his father would say she was the most worthy of attention among the Golden Generation.

Tang San said:

"This can prove your sincerity? Where you come from has no relation to me."

"You..."

Hu Liena hadn't thought Tang San would have such a thousand miles distant, rejecting of people manner. How would she know that the handsome youth in front of her, was the Tang San she hated the most. And Tang San's first impression of her was no doubt the strongest.

"Cooperation benefits both. The Hell Road has no provisions for how many people enter at once. Whether you or me, one person entering alone will definitely die. How about this, I'll tell you another secret. If we can leave the Hell Road, not only can we return here at any time, we can still obtain an enormous benefit."

"Oh?"

Tang San said:

"Tell me about the circumstances of the Hell Road, perhaps I'll consider working together with you."

If it was the previous Hu Liena, she definitely wouldn't so easily reveal her secrets, but a woman in love would frequently ignore reason, let alone nothing when the majority of her energy was focused on suppressing the murderous spirit.

Immediately, Hu Liena conscientiously said:

"The opening to the Hell Road is in the Hell Slaughter Arena. Each day we fight there, with each person who dies there, their blood and souls will actually be absorbed by the Hell Road. I also don't know the specifics of what's in the Hell Road. I only know that, entering that place, without the safeguard of a formidable killing intent, you'll immediately be swallowed by the vicious energy there."

"There are many hypotheses about the forming of Slaughter City, but the most reliable one is that it is a special domain left behind by a mighty power who broke through the hundred rank limit. And the name of this domain, is Deathgod Domain. If one is able to break through the Hell Road, it's equivalent to obtaining the approval of the Deathgod Domain. The Deathgod Domain absorbs your own aura of death, forming its own domain, adding to one's spirit. It's also known as a spirit's innate domain. Obtaining this boost is equivalent to having one more ability than Spirit Masters that haven't walked the Hell Road. Moreover, it's also the most valuable domain type ability."
