Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 272 The Asura Demon Sword is Acquired
Upon hearing Yang Xiong's question, Tang Chen quickly asked, "Do you know Poseidon?"

Yang Xiong nodded: "Senior, I just returned from Seagod Island a few months ago. I do know the Seagod Douluo Poseidon, but we don't have much interaction. She was the one who presided over my assessment."

Tang Chen was surprised: "You possess the power of the Vast Ocean, so you must be the inheritor of the Sea God Island."

Yang Xiong shook his head: "That's not the case. I only obtained this Vast Ocean Universe Cover by chance. It contains the power of the Sea God. I did not inherit the Nine Trials of the Sea God."

Tang Chen's face showed a hint of doubt: "When I fought you just now, although I was out of my mind, I vaguely felt that you seemed to have a killing domain, and that it was of the same origin as my killing domain. I'm afraid your martial soul and killing domain are not simple either."

Yang Xiong glanced at Tang Chen and the other two: "Seniors, Sect Master Tang Xiao should know why I came to the City of Slaughter this time."

Tang Chen's expression turned serious: "What do you mean by that? Did you negotiate any terms with Xiao'er and the others?"

Yang Xiong nodded: "According to my agreement with seniors Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, I will do my best to help rescue them. After that, I will need the Asura Demon Sword."

Tang Chen stared intently at Yang Xiong, especially when he saw the blood-red longsword between Yang Xiong's eyebrows, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

“Interesting. I didn’t expect you to be the successor of the Asura God. You probably came to this City of Slaughter for the Asura Demon Sword.”

"But do you know that I am the successor of the former Asura God? Why do you think I would easily hand over the Asura Demon Sword?"

Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Senior, do you think this Asura Demon Sword is still useful to you? Or are you still the inheritor of the Asura God?"

Tang Chen's expression was uncertain upon hearing this, but he seemed unwilling to give up the Asura Demon Sword.

"Boy, although you helped me, that's not a reason for you to demand repayment. I am Tang Chen, known as the invincible warrior on land. No one can negotiate with me."

"Besides, I still have a great use for this Asura Demon Sword, so I'm afraid I can't give it to you for the time being."

Yang Xiong's face showed a hint of disdain: "Senior, you flatter me. Do you perhaps intend to use the Asura Demon Sword to complete the final test? Or is your body still capable of enduring the Nine Trials of Asura?"

Tang Chen's face darkened: "Kid, don't provoke me. When I was invincible, your grandfather might not even have been born yet."

Yang Xiong ignored Tang Chen and instead looked at Tang Xiao and Tang Hao beside him.

"Senior Tang Xiao, Senior Tang Hao, do you not want to keep the agreement you made before coming to the City of Slaughter? I risked my life to help you, is this how your Clear Sky Sect deals with its promises?"

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao remained silent upon hearing this, completely unsure how to respond, especially since their grandfather was present.

Tang Chen's lips curled into a sneer: "Yang Xiong, this Asura Demon Sword does not belong to Xiao'er and Hao'er. Even if they are my grandsons, they have no right to decide what is mine. This Asura Demon Sword is mine."

Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head: "Senior Tang Chen, your little schemes are a bit too much. You have already completed eight of the nine trials of Shura. The Shura Demon Sword contains the energy you used when you completed the trials. Judging from your appearance, you probably want to pass on the Shura Demon Sword to Haotian Douluo Tang Hao."

"Unfortunately, Senior Tang Hao is only at level 95. In this world, besides Tang Hao and me, only Bibi Dong possesses the Killing God Domain. Apart from the three of us, no one else can inherit the Asura God's test."

"Besides, Senior Tang Chen, although you are powerful, don't forget that the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King is still in my hands. Since I was able to capture the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, I can naturally release it and communicate with it to learn more."

Upon hearing this, Tang Chen fell silent.

The Clear Sky Sect is now plagued by external troubles. Although it has returned to the world, it has broken its original agreement with the Spirit Hall and is now a thorn in the side of the Spirit Empire. Sooner or later, it will have to face Qian Daoliu and even the successor of the Angel God.

Although Tang Chen was forcing himself to stay healthy, his actual physical condition was not optimistic. He still had many unfulfilled wishes, whether it was the Clear Sky Sect regaining its dominance, facing the pressure from the Spirit Hall, or even Poseidon, whom he longed for.

Yang Xiong continued, "Now that the Spirit Empire is powerful, our three major sects need to form an alliance to contend with it. My main sect is relatively small, so it's not necessarily a fight to the death with the Spirit Empire."

Tang Chen thought for a long time before speaking: "Yang Xiong, do you know what this Asura Demon Sword really represents? And what does Asura represent?"

"Back then, my soul power had reached level ninety-nine, the Limit Douluo, and I thought no one in the world could do anything to me. In the end, I still fell into their trap and ended up in this City of Slaughter, creating endless bloodshed. How can I be sure you won't follow my old path? How can I be sure you won't slaughter all living beings?"

Yang Xiong nodded: "Senior, I understand your thoughts very well. You are worried that I will become an enemy of Haotian Sect after obtaining the Asura Demon Sword. I can promise you that as long as Haotian Sect does not deal with me, I will never become an enemy of Haotian Sect."

"As for what Asura is, senior, are you perhaps mistaken? In everyone's eyes, Asura may be killing, but in my eyes, Asura is killing to stop killing, representing the justice and order of the world. Without absolute killing power, it is impossible to maintain a stable order." "Just like this city of killing, it may seem full of sin, but for the whole world, isn't it a kind of self-purification?"

"You must know that these killers run rampant on the continent, while this Slaughter City is a huge cage, allowing these Soul Masters and these killers to stay away from the continent and making this world relatively peaceful."

Tang Chen's face showed a bitter expression upon hearing this, and he finally shook his head helplessly.

"Well, I never imagined that even though I cultivated to the Limit Douluo realm back then, my understanding of Asura was still inferior to that of a mere child like you. It seems that my pursuit of godhood was a mistake from the very beginning."

After Tang Chen finished speaking, he casually waved his hand, and a blood-red giant sword more than two meters long flew out quickly, eventually embedding itself in the ground three meters in front of Yang Xiong.

Yang Xiong's eyes burned with intense desire as he looked at the Asura Demon Sword, but he forcibly suppressed his inner longing and instead bowed to Tang Chen.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior!"

Tang Chen stood up: "Hao'er, Xiao'er, let's go. Maybe I shouldn't have come to this City of Slaughter at all."

"Yang Xiong, you'd better watch yourself from now on. I hope I won't have to deal with you myself in the future."

Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Senior, you flatter me."

Tang Chen didn't say anything more and left the City of Slaughter with Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.

Sword Douluo and Yang Wudi looked at Tang Chen and the other two, their eyes seemingly undergoing a strange change.

Sword Douluo's eyes were filled with more admiration. This was the first time he had fought against a master of the same level as a Limit Douluo. Even though Tang Chen did not use any soul skills, the difference between them was like heaven and earth. Even though he was already level 97, if he were to truly fight a Limit Douluo, he probably wouldn't last many rounds.

Yang Wudi's expression turned much uglier, sometimes revealing admiration for Tang Chen, sometimes hatred for Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, and sometimes utter confusion.

It was Tang Chen who brought the Haotian Sect to its peak, and this period was also the peak of the Po Clan. Unfortunately, Tang Chen disappeared, Tang Hao made a mistake, and the Po Clan ultimately became the sacrifice for the decline of the Haotian Sect.

After being moved by the sight of Sword Douluo and Yang Wudi, Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head: "Teacher, Old Goat, don't think about the past anymore. Tang Chen may be strong, but we will become even stronger in the future."

Sword Douluo and Yang Wudi then came to their senses.

Sword Douluo was a little puzzled: "Xiao Xiong, why would Tang Chen give up on the Asura Demon Sword so easily? It seems that the Asura Demon Sword is not simple, and it may even be related to whether he can become a god."

Yang Xiong shook his head: "It's too late now. Over the years, the King of Slaughter has been possessed by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King and has been committing endless killings in the City of Slaughter. This is not just sin, but more importantly, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King's corruption of his body."

"I don't know how much longer Tang Chen's body can hold on, but I'm afraid he will never be able to recover to his peak condition, and his life may not be long either."

"Moreover, my domain is currently the strongest in this City of Slaughter. If a major battle were to break out between the two sides, I'm afraid the three members of the Haotian Sect would suffer some injuries. If Tang Chen wants to fulfill his unfulfilled wishes, he wouldn't dare to truly fight me."

Although Yang Xiong used his domain to its fullest potential during his battle with Tang Chen, he actually didn't consume much soul power and held back.

Tang Hao and his two companions, on the other hand, had consumed relatively more energy, especially Tang Hao who used the Exploding Ring technique. This was one of the reasons why Yang Xiong specifically brought Sword Douluo and Yang Wudi along, in order to prevent any unexpected events from occurring.

Yang Wudi, standing to the side, couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh: "Xiao Xiong, when I saw Tang Chen regain consciousness just now, I was very excited. But Tang Chen and Tang Xiao's conversation was always condescending. Perhaps they didn't feel any guilt towards the single-attribute family. Perhaps, whether it's Tang Chen or Tang Xiao, our deaths are just a joke."

Yang Xiong patted Yang Wudi on the shoulder: "Old Goat, you used to be subordinate to the Haotian Sect, but in the Body Sect you will always be the masters. No one can abandon you."

"Let's not worry about that now. Since we've come to this killing city, I won't let everyone come for nothing. This place is one of the greatest treasures in the world."

Yang Wudi and Sword Douluo exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly filled with confusion.

Yang Xiong smiled and said, "There is a divine suppressive force here. You can say that you are in a god-level domain. Here you can study the purest killing intent. The Asura Demon Sword is the strongest sword in the world and also has the strongest sword energy in the world."
