Upon hearing this, Ah Yin, Liu Erlong, and the others all changed their expressions drastically.

They had been wondering why the drinks in the tavern were so strange and how they were made, but they never expected that they were made of human blood!

For a moment, they were all secretly relieved that they had Chen Yao, who knew the situation, to lead the way. Otherwise, if they had drunk human blood in a daze, it would have been unimaginable.

With a hint of lingering fear on her face, Ah Yin looked at Chen Yao with a slight softening in her gaze and said softly.

"I misunderstood you. So, if we defeat this knight now, will we be able to enter the City of Slaughter?"

"good."

Chen Yao remained calm and concise in response to A Yin's apology.

Ah Yin nodded upon hearing this, then looked at the knight and spoke.

"I accept the challenge."

Upon hearing this, the black knight slowly raised his lance, and then the black-armored warriors beside him slowly retreated, clearing a space.

"I am the Slaughter City Enforcement Captain, the Howling Knight!"

With a long whistle, the knight made his move, spurring his horse forward and accelerating with a powerful aura, heading straight for Ah Yin.

That aura was filled with iron-blooded ruthlessness and murderous intent. There was not a trace of restraint shown because of Ah Yin's beautiful appearance. The spear was aimed straight for the vital points!

Seeing this, Ah Yin subconsciously circulated her soul power, but soon realized that she had lost her connection with the soul ring.

However, thanks to Chen Yao's explanation earlier, Ah Yin had anticipated this and remained calm. She manipulated the Blue Silver Grass and became entangled with the black knight.

Not far away, Chen Yao watched this scene with a deep, melancholy gaze.

Meanwhile, the blue silver grass wrapped around his wrist, hidden beneath his sleeve, was now being stained with darkness.

When its entire body turned dark, the Blue Silver Grass that had been stubbornly wrapped around Chen Yao's hand instantly turned into ashes.

"Stand behind me in a moment."

Chen Yao stared at the battle situation without turning around, but spoke to Tang Yuehua in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Upon hearing this, Tang Yuehua was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily and subtly moved behind Chen Yao.

Although this knight had a prestigious reputation and a strong presence, he was powerless against the agile Ah Yin and was also struggling to cope with the Blue Silver Grass that kept wrapping around him.

Finally, under Ah Yin's constant draining, the black knight gradually became exhausted, his soul power depleted, and he was defeated.

"You...you've passed my test. You are qualified to enter the City of Slaughter."

Exhausted, the knight, kneeling on one knee, spoke with some difficulty to Ah Yin.

Then, four black plaques were handed to Ah Yin.

Ah Yin casually took it and looked down to see that there was a skull engraved on the token, and below it was a string of numbers, each token having a different number.

"This is your proof of being in the Killing City. Please enter the city. There will be people to guide you at the city gate."

Ah Yin nodded, grasped the token, and walked behind her.

Arriving in front of Chen Yao and the others, Ah Yin breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to smile.

"This big guy is really strong, but luckily I'm more skilled."

With a light laugh, Ah Yin distributed the remaining three tokens.

After receiving the token and sensing Ah Yin's somewhat disordered soul power, Chen Yao grinned and said.

"You've worked hard, but we need to be careful once we enter the City of Slaughter."

"What should I pay attention to?"

Ah Yin wiped the sweat from her forehead and casually asked.

"Be sure to stay vigilant at all times, and don't trust anyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying crimson light flashed in Chen Yao's eyes, and his smile became ferocious and evil, filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.

Then a violent surge of black energy erupted from his body, countless black tentacles twisted and churned, and a huge black lotus appeared behind him, its petals blooming and black light flowing!

"Pfft!"

Chen Yao suddenly reached out, and with that vicious claw, he pierced straight through Ah Yin's chest!

Ah Yin stared blankly at her blood-soaked chest, her face filled with disbelief.

However, Chen Yao did not give Ah Yin any time to react. The hand that pierced Ah Yin's chest was holding a bright green heart. Without hesitation, he crushed it!

With his other hand, he clenched his fist and slammed it down hard on Ah Yin's head. The force of the punch was so strong that it made people's cheeks sting!

At the same time, the endless black tufts of hair around his body surged violently, attacking Liu Erlong frantically from the side!

At the same time, Chen Yao attacked the two of them with such fierceness and ruthlessness that he intended to eliminate both of these potential threats in one fell swoop!

However, just as Chen Yao's fist was about to land, an extremely strange pattern began to appear between Ah Yin's eyebrows, bursting out with a strong emerald green divine light!

Upon seeing this, Chen Yao's expression changed drastically, and he cursed inwardly.

"Damn it, having powerful connections makes all the difference; they can really be shameless!"

Despite his burning killing intent, Chen Yao had no choice but to abandon his deadly attack in the face of that strange green light, and his figure frantically retreated.

However, during this process, he was also manipulating the dark tentacles that were constantly sweeping towards Liu Erlong.

Since Ah Yin cannot be killed, let's deal with Liu Erlong first!

But the next moment, instead of the exhilarating sensation of flesh being pierced, the tentacles brought a violent force of reversal. Chen Yao looked at Liu Erlong with a look of astonishment and saw that Liu Erlong, who should have no soul power at all, was now wearing an exquisite battle dress that shimmered with beauty.

A strange purple flame surged from the gaps in the battle skirt.

On top of it, a crown covers its forehead, and sharp horns point to the sky, giving it a majestic and sinister appearance that exudes a strong sense of oppression!

Chapter 121 Entering the City

"Boom!"

With a wave of its claws, Liu Erlong swatted away the surging black tentacles. Then, it leaped up and stood in front of A Yin, shielding her behind it. It looked warily in Chen Yao's direction and spoke.

"Are you okay?"

At this moment, Ah Yin, who was bathed in soft green light behind him, did not reply and kept her eyes tightly closed.

Under the green light, the gruesome blood hole in his chest stopped bleeding, and tender flesh began to grow from the wound, intertwining and entwining at a visible speed.

At the same time, the original empty space was filled with green light particles, which gathered and condensed into a brand new, active, beating heart!

A moment later, her flesh and blood were completely healed. Apart from the tattered clothes and chest area of ​​Ah Yin, there was no trace of the devastating attack she had suffered.

Slowly opening her eyes, as her soul power surged, Blue Silver Grass intertwined, covering the exposed area of ​​her chest. Only then did Ah Yin speak with a look of lingering fear on her face.

"I'm fine"

At the same time, he silently recited it in his heart.

This is the second time.

As for Liu Erlong standing in front of her, A Yin was not surprised at all.

When Chen Yao suggested going to the City of Slaughter, Liu Erlong didn't notice anything amiss, but she felt uneasy. Later, during a rest stop, she took advantage of Chen Yao's inattention and suggested to A Yin that they loosen the restraints on her body so that she could recover her soul power, in case Chen Yao had ulterior motives.

Upon hearing Liu Erlong's suggestion, A Yin wanted to refuse without even thinking, but after thinking of Chen Yao, the words of refusal remained unspoken.

Finally, after much deliberation, he agreed to Liu Erlong's suggestion and released the seal.

Because, compared to Liu Erlong, Ah Yin was more suspicious and wary of Chen Yao.

Even though Chen Yao's explanation was flawless, A Yin still couldn't trust him.

As it turns out, choosing to trust Liu Erlong was the right decision. Although Ah Yin would most likely have been fine even if Liu Erlong hadn't intervened, thanks to the energy left behind by the God of Life, Ah Yin was protected.

But don't forget, she has only just stepped into the City of Slaughter; it's just the beginning.

If she hadn't removed the Blue Silver Grass from Liu Erlong's body, allowing Chen Yao to kill Liu Erlong so easily, then she would have had to face the ruthless and unscrupulous Chen Yao alone afterward!

Even with the inheritance and protection of the God of Life, Ah Yin still felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of such a situation!

At this moment, Chen Yao stared at Ah Yin and Liu Erlong, who were standing together, clearly forming a team, with a gloomy expression. His eyes were filled with a dangerous and fierce light, and various thoughts kept flashing through his mind.

But after realizing that there was no good way to kill even one of them, he could only sullenly snort, turn his head, and walk towards the city gate not far ahead.

However, just as he was about to reach the city gate, the black knight who had fought against Ah Yin earlier stepped forward again.

After a period of recuperation, he had recovered a significant amount of his strength.

He stood in front of Chen Yao and spoke in an unquestionable tone.

“Just now you were a group, and that girl represented you in accepting my test, earning you the right to enter the city. But now, the two of you have separated from that girl's group, and you must accept my test again.”

As the black knight was speaking, he suddenly saw the sinister expression on Chen Yao's face and the fierce light flashing in his eyes. Even as the captain of the law enforcement team, the knight felt a chill run down his spine and paused in his words.

"Pfft!"

But before he could react, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his chest.

With his eyes wide open, the knight looked down and discovered that a thick, black tentacle had pierced through his chest!

And it's not over yet.

Then, the second one, the third one.

Countless tentacles surged forth, rushing towards the bloody hole in the black knight's chest.

"boom!"

The next moment, the black knight didn't even have time to scream before he exploded into a cloud of blood mist with a loud bang.

Chen Yao, with Tang Yuehua in tow, his face dark, walked slowly toward the city gate without looking back, wading through the rain of blood.

At this moment, the black-armored warriors who had been following the black knight suddenly came to their senses and looked in the direction Chen Yao had left, but none of them stepped forward.

Although their faces were covered by helmets, the fear spreading among them was still palpable.

Ah Yin and Tang Yuehua both looked solemn as they gazed at Chen Yao's blood-soaked back.

"Let's go, let's go into town."

After a moment, Ah Yin sighed and spoke, then headed in the direction Chen Yao had gone.
