Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Chapter 289 The Killing Intent in the Inner City

Qian Gu Chang Kong took out a smoke bomb from his soul tool.

He threw it to the ground, and amidst billowing smoke, his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

This was a night raid, and he had no intention of fighting to the death.

However, he did gain something from this battle; at least he learned about Gongli Hai's strength.

As the leaders of Qingfeng Village arrived, the ancient sky vanished without a trace.

"Brother, what exactly happened?" the second-in-command asked.

Gong Lihai's hands trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and said, "The grain we stole earlier came from a powerful force."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

"Big brother, are you sure you're not mistaken?" several leaders asked anxiously.

Facing a powerful force with its limited strength, Qingfeng Village is doomed.

"Brother, let's run away tonight."

Gongli Hai wanted to run away, but the fact that Qian Gu Chang Kong, a Soul Sect level expert, dared to come out and rant so brazenly clearly meant that the area was already surrounded.

If they flee now, and chaos ensues, their entire army will be wiped out.

If we persevere, there might still be a chance to negotiate with the other party and find a way to survive.

The third leader, a former military captain, agreed, saying, "What the eldest brother said makes sense. We occupy advantageous terrain, and the main force won't be able to attack us in a short time."

"The fact that they didn't launch a full-scale attack immediately proves that they are not members of the Heaven Dou royal family. We are within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, so even if they wanted to take action, they would have to consider the impact on the Heaven Dou royal family."

"Therefore, dragging it out and resolving this matter through negotiation is the only way."

"After daybreak, a few of us will split up and go down to investigate. Only by finding out exactly who we've offended can we take targeted action."

……

The two of them had already figured out the route in advance and quickly ran a long way.

Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, Chen Ping asked anxiously, "Chang Kong, are you alright?"

With his hands behind his back, Qian Gu Chang Kong feigned a powerful demeanor, saying, "Just a trash Soul King, not worth mentioning."

This isn't him faking it; it's the truth.

During the Soul Master Competition, every Soul King he encountered was stronger than Gong Lihai.

During training, he sparred with Wu Qi and Feng Xiaotian, and in the Soul Master Competition, he even faced all three members of the Golden Generation.

It could be said that this wasn't his first time fighting a Soul King. He might have struggled against Wu Qi and others, but against Gongli Hai, he felt no pressure at all.

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief. "So, we have a real chance to take his head."

"However, they have more than one Soul King expert, as well as several Soul Sect experts. If we are surrounded and attacked, we will probably be the ones who fall."

Qian Gu Chang Kong stroked his chin and analyzed, "Grandpa said that the training for those with cultivation above the Soul Sect level is not just about fighting and killing, but more importantly, about tactical arrangements."

“We are no match for them in a head-on confrontation, but we still have tactics.”

“Starting tonight, we will harass them every night, but we cannot drag it out for too long like today. We will use a feint to the east and a diversion to the west, and then quickly withdraw.”

……

The city of killing.

Unbeknownst to many, Wu Qi had already achieved a fifteen-game winning streak in the Hell Slaughter Arena.

At first, seeing his youthful face, no one among the fallen paid attention to his performance.

However, as time went on, one by one, the strongmen favored by the Fallen died at his hands, and the situation changed.

Winning in the hellish killing field is the only way for the fallen to survive in the killing capital.

To have a powerful figure like Wu Qi compete against him would be tantamount to courting death.

At the critical moment of life and death, the fallen showed unprecedented unity, unanimously deciding to join forces to kill Wu Qi off the field.

The real danger in the Killing City lies not in the Hellish Killing Arena, but in the inner city. Today, Wu Qi had just finished his match when he noticed someone in the audience constantly watching his every move.

As he left the arena, all of them followed.

He knew without a doubt that a large number of fallen beings must be lurking outside the hellish killing field.

Over the centuries, many have come to the City of Slaughter to train, but only eight have managed to pass through the Hell Road and obtain the title of God of Slaughter.

Aside from the inherently dangerous Hell Road, most of the geniuses died in the inner city.

This place is like a giant crab cage. Whenever a strong person appears, most of the crabs (the fallen ones) will desperately grab onto their body to prevent anyone from actually leaving the cage.

Wu Qi could easily use his flying ability to hide directly in the outer city.

But what's the point?

Hiding in the outer city, he will be unable to participate in the Hell Slaughter Arena competition.

The longer you stay here, the easier it is to be assimilated.

At that point, Wu Qi would also be one of the fallen, and would forever lose the possibility of leaving the hellish killing field.

With this thought in mind, his eyes sharpened, and he walked heavily out of the hellish killing field.

As expected, he was surrounded by a large number of armed Fallen Ones.

On the other side, a newcomer who had just arrived in the City of Slaughter, upon witnessing this scene, couldn't help but ask the messenger of hell for an answer.

"What's going on? How did that kid offend so many people in one go?"

The messenger of hell couldn't help but chuckle and said, "No, that boy is the real powerhouse. The weaklings surrounded him because they were afraid of the powerhouse's appearance."

You can understand it as Gresham's Law: Bad money drives out good money.

Upon seeing this, the newcomer abandoned his original idea and decided to live in the outer city for a while instead.

……

Wu Qi's gaze swept over the group of fallen people.

Among these fallen ones are many Soul Emperors and even Soul Saints.

If Wu Qi were to face these people in the outside world, he would have absolutely no chance of winning and would be easily overwhelmed by the crowd.

But this is a city of slaughter, where Soul Saints cannot use Soul Skills, let alone their Martial Soul True Body.

Without the enhancement of soul skills, the only advantage a Soul Saint has over an ordinary person is probably that they have more combat experience and a stronger body.

“Number 003 (Wu Qi), if you have to blame someone, blame yourself for being too sharp and affecting the brothers’ livelihood.”

"Remember to be reborn into a better family in your next life, and never set foot in the City of Slaughter again."

After he finished speaking, the Fallen Ones swarmed forward, attacking from all directions, leaving no way to avoid them.

"The Soft Bone Rabbit's left leg soul bone skill: Teleportation."

Wu Qi's figure disappeared from the spot.

When the Fallen Ones discovered his presence again, he had already plunged into the crowd, killing several Fallen Ones in one fell swoop.

"Impossible! This is the City of Slaughter! You're not a god of death, so how can you use soul skills!"

The fallen ones were terrified and dared not make a move.

Among them were some knowledgeable individuals who immediately declared, "The City of Slaughter only restricts Soul Ring skills; this is a Soul Bone skill!"

Upon hearing this, a look of greed appeared in the eyes of the Fallen One.

In the outside world, soul bones are the object of contention among all soul masters.

In the Killing Grounds, the role of Soul Bones is amplified, only driving people to even greater madness.

After all, who wouldn't want an extra life-saving soul skill?
