Lin Yi knew he was being watched, but this was also within his plans.
This time coming to Slaughter City, he had a total of two goals.
The first goal was the Ten-headed Solar Serpent's inner orb, and the second goal was the King of Slaughter.
As a Level 99 Peak Douluo, Tang Chen was a major force of the Shield Breaker.
Since the reward made it necessary for Lin Yi to visit Slaughter City, he naturally couldn't leave empty-handed. Whatever he did, he always considered his own interests first.
As long as it was to his advantage, he didn't care about right or wrong, nor how difficult or complicated it was.
So this trip, both the pain and the reward, Lin Yi wanted them all.
"I don't have much time to play with you, so I'll only give you three seconds to think,"
Lin Yi stood in the center of the Slaughter Ground, his voice cold and unwavering.
He knew that Tang Chen was a sly fox, and managing the entire chaotic Slaughter City relied on more than just his Ultimate Douluo strength.
But no matter who it was, they would all strive to protect their interests from being violated.
Moreover, the more powerful a person was, the more they feared death.
Therefore, Lin Yi had plenty of ways to make Tang Chen submit.
He closed his eyes and began to count down:
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
The arena was so silent that only heartbeats could be heard.
Just like the countdown in a game of hide-and-seek ending, Lin Yi opened his eyes, his pitch-black irises now brimming with murderous intent.
"Brothers, let's all join forces and kill him!!!"
At that moment, a tall and thin man in the Slaughter Ground suddenly roared.
Having just witnessed Lin Yi's terror, the only way to survive now was to set aside the match for the time being and join together to kill this terrifyingly powerful young man!
Following this roar, five of the remaining nine combatants in the Slaughter Ground began to move.
They rushed towards Lin Yi from different directions, their strange and various weapons flashing with a cold and icy gleam. If they all joined forces, they should be able to take him down!
"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!"
Almost at the same instant, the weapons in the hands of the five men were brought down upon Lin Yi.
This made their hearts swell with joy—was this young man an idiot? Lacking even the basic reaction to dodge, how could he possibly survive this?!
The scene instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The sultry Hell Messenger hurried toward the Spring of Sorrow, her gaze fixated on the scene above, her face unable to conceal a look of surprise and delight.
"Did they take him down?!"
But what followed shocked everyone in the Hell Slaughter Ground.
Lin Yi slammed his foot to the ground.
"Boom!"
The five besiegers' bodies exploded outwards, their powerless bodies instantly shattering into several pieces in mid-air and embedding deeply into the nearby stone walls.
And Lin Yi, who had just withstood the attacks of five men with his body, was unscathed.
He was used to it, leeching off a barrage of damage before fighting.
He took a step forward, his figure suddenly vanishing. In the blink of an eye, the crowd realized he was now standing behind the only woman in the Slaughter Ground.
"Such fast speed!"
The curvaceous woman quickly turned around, begging Lin Yi with terror in her eyes, "Please, don't kill me!"
At the same time as her last word fell, the dagger hidden behind her back thrust forward, its sharp tip viciously aiming for Lin Yi's neck.
But, just like the axe that had been swung at Lin Yi earlier, the dagger was as if it had struck an indestructible steel plate, failing to stir any reaction on Lin Yi's part.
Lin Yi looked at the woman as one would look at an ant, without lifting a finger, and turned towards the other three.
But at that moment, a miserable scream came from behind him.
The woman, her face filled with extreme terror, clutched her own throat. Suddenly, blood flowed from all seven orifices and she collapsed to the ground, her body softening.
Quickly, her entire skin turned to ashen gray, and she lost all signs of life in an instant.
What has happened?!
People on both sides of the space channel were utterly confused by this.
How did this woman die?
"This woman was punished by the Golden Dragon King's vital energy because she possessed dragon bloodline."
Gu Yuena explained, knowing that Lin Yi had definitely noticed this just now and hence simply couldn't be bothered to take action himself.
Upon hearing this, the Soul Masters all looked over at this moment, the shock in their eyes beyond words.
So Lin Yi really could kill someone without lifting a finger!
"We'll fight you to the death!"
The remaining three from the Slaughter Ground charged toward him, while Lin Yi looked at them calmly and lifted his right hand to snap his fingers.
"Clap!"
Three surging fire dragons emerged from the ground, and the exceedingly fierce ultimate fire engulfed the three charging figures, turning them into ashes.
At this moment, Tang Chen abruptly stood up from his throne, his chest heaving as he stared at the scene reflected on the Spring of Sorrow.
The only conclusion he could draw from his observations was this.
There was a very high chance that this youth was invincible.
"What do we do, Master?!"
The Hell Messenger looked at Tang Chen in a panic.
"Don't rush it, he said he was here for the Ten-headed Solar Serpent. The Ten-headed Solar Serpent is on Hell Road, and except for me, no one knows where Hell Road is!"
Tang Chen spoke with a somber expression.
All they could do now was to buy time while thinking of a strategy.
But having lived for over a hundred years, Tang Chen felt for the first time that a person was unsolvable.
It was a place where Soul Power was supposed to be restricted, yet he could still wield such formidable strength; was this person really from Soul Land?
"You originally had two choices, the first was to obediently hand over the Ten-headed Solar Serpent to me."
"The second, was for me to personally go to Hell Road, kill the Ten-headed Solar Serpent, and incidentally, destroy your Slaughter City."
"It seems you've chosen the second."
After Lin Yi finished speaking, without any hesitation, he stretched out his right hand and placed it upon the ground of the Hell Slaughter Ground.
"Buzz——"
An immense force instantly spread throughout the interior of the Hell Slaughter Ground.
The entire area trembled, the underground Spring of Sorrow boiled, and cracks began to appear on the surrounding stone walls, the cracks outrageously spreading everywhere.
At this moment, a belated realization suddenly exploded in Tang Chen's mind!
The youth had known where the entrance to Hell Road was all along!
The entrance was right beneath the Hell Slaughter Ground.
Tang Chen was terrified, finally understanding why the youth had come to the Hell Slaughter Ground from the start!
In the astonished gaze of the Hell Messenger, the figure of the King of Slaughter dissipated into a cloud of blood mist and vanished from this place.
"Stop!"
Hearing this voice, a smile appeared on Lin Yi's lips, and as he lifted his palm from the ground, the trembling of the entire area immediately ceased.
Everyone in the Slaughter Ground looked up at the sky, including the people within Soul City who also looked up.
A burly man enveloped in crimson light with a visage like that of a demon king descended from the sky and landed on the ground.
"Who are you, really?!"
Tang Chen stared intently at Lin Yi, with a strong murderous aura surrounding him, but he was also aware that the youth opposite him had merely concealed his own aura.
Otherwise, the murderous intent from the youth would be incredibly intense.
"Go bring the Ten-headed Solar Serpent here."
Lin Yi did not directly answer him, but repeated the sentence with a cold expression.
"And if I don't?"
"Then you'll be killed."
