Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, Your Holiness, Please Behave Yourself

Chapter 351 Huo Yuhao's Killing Intent

Huo Yuhao stared at the purple full moon for a long time before slowly withdrawing his gaze and looking around at the scene around the City of Slaughter. His brows furrowed slightly involuntarily.

As soon as he stepped into the boundary of this small world, he sensed that some evil thoughts were inexplicably growing in his body. These evil thoughts were accompanied by bloodthirsty impulses and depraved desires, but they were not strong. As soon as they appeared, they were easily suppressed by the power of the sea god in his body.

Although he had never personally set foot in the City of Slaughter in his previous life, he had some understanding of it from Tang San's fragmented memories. Back then, Tang San was the God of Asura. Although the aura he exuded was sharp and domineering, full of killing intent, it was also pure and righteous, with only killing and no other distractions.

But the city of slaughter before them, while filled with a thick aura of carnage, was far more than that. It was also filled with a nauseating aura of depravity and evil. That aura was like a bone-deep ailment; once you were tainted by it, it would continuously erode your mind and soul, causing you to fall step by step into the abyss from which there was no redemption.

Especially the purple moon high in the sky; under Huo Yuhao's focused perception, he actually sensed a faint, chilling aura within the pure Asura divine power.

That aura was chilling and malevolent, carrying a destructive malice, completely different from the domineering and sharp power of the Asura God, yet intertwined with it, inextricably linked. Huo Yuhao's heart stirred, and the aura emanating from Bibi Dong instantly appeared in his mind—that equally chilling and malevolent aura, carrying endless evil, was exactly the same as the aura in the moon!

It is the power of the Rakshasa god!

Huo Yuhao instantly understood, having guessed almost perfectly. The Rakshasa God and the Asura God originated from the same source but diverged in their paths. Both were about killing, but one was righteous and the other evil, one was forceful and the other cunning, and they had always been irreconcilable enemies.

Unexpectedly, the Rakshasa God was so bold as to extend his reach into the Asura God's domain and secretly infiltrate his power. It seems that the reason why this city of slaughter is filled with such a strong aura of depravity and evil is probably inseparable from the Rakshasa God's secret manipulation.

A chilling glint flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and his aura turned icy. The Rakshasa God's reach had gone too far! How could the Asura God's domain allow him to act so recklessly?

Now that he has stepped into this city of slaughter and is preparing to inherit the position of the Asura God, he will never allow the Rakshasa God to continue to do evil. He must personally cut off this evil hand lurking in the shadows, even if the opponent is a god, he will not be afraid!

"Take me around to familiarize myself with the surroundings first." Huo Yuhao regained his composure and spoke calmly to the woman beside him. His voice was cold and emotionless, as if the chilling glint in his eyes had never appeared before.

The woman's smile froze for a moment, and a hint of surprise and disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She had just tried so hard to please him and use all her seductive charm, thinking that even if she couldn't win him over immediately, she could at least get him to look at her a few more times. But to her surprise, he was so unmoved. He not only ignored her stunning beauty, but also completely disregarded her hints, as if she were just an insignificant stranger.

This stark contrast inevitably left her feeling somewhat disappointed, but her years of experience surviving in the Killing City had taught her to conceal her emotions. After a moment, she suppressed the disappointment in her eyes, put on a polite smile again, and bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao: "—Please follow me."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman turned and took the lead, heading towards the inner city of the Killing Capital. Huo Yuhao followed closely behind, his pace unhurried, continuing to secretly release his spiritual power to probe everything around him, not missing a single detail.

The two first strolled around the outer city of the Killing Capital. The outer city was extremely large, with wide but deserted streets. The buildings on both sides were low and dilapidated, with mottled walls covered with the marks of time. The air was filled with an odor that was a mixture of blood, decay and despair, making one want to vomit.

As the woman led the way, she gently explained the rules of the outer city to Huo Yuhao. Her tone was soft and her explanations were clear: "Young master, the City of Slaughter is divided into the outer city and the inner city. The outer city is the place where all newcomers settle down, and it is also the only place where killing is prohibited."

However, there is an ironclad rule in the outer city: everyone who stays here must pay a certain amount of Bloody Marys every month. Those who fail to pay will be thrown directly into the inner city to become prey for others.

"Bloody Mary?" Huo Yuhao asked casually, his tone still indifferent.

"Exactly." The woman nodded, a hint of apprehension flashing in her eyes. "Bloody Mary is made from the essence and blood of the strongest in the City of Slaughter. Not only can it be used to exchange for supplies in this City of Slaughter, but it is also the key to surviving. Here, without Bloody Mary, it is impossible to move an inch, and in the end, one will only end up with a gruesome death."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao simply nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions. His self-sight swept across both sides of the street, where he saw emaciated people everywhere. They were dressed in rags, with sallow complexions, sunken eyes, and no light in their eyes, only an overwhelming sense of despair and numbness.

They either huddled in corners, shivering, or wandered aimlessly like zombies, exuding a thick aura of death, as if they would collapse at any moment.

Seeing the despair on these people's faces, Huo Yuhao remained calm and unmoved, without the slightest pity. Having experienced the ups and downs of life and witnessed too much darkness and evil, he was no longer the soft-hearted boy he once was.

Those who are sent to this killing city are all people who have committed heinous crimes on the Douluo Continent. The blood on their hands is so stained that even ten lives wouldn't be enough to atone for it.

They either heard that the City of Slaughter could provide refuge from disaster, or they fantasized about gaining great power here, which is why they came here regardless of everything. But when they actually stepped into this place, they found that the City of Slaughter was not the carefree paradise that the outside world had instilled in them, but an absolute hellish prison.

Once you step in, there is no turning back; you can only walk step by step toward destruction amidst endless slaughter and despair.

These people all deserved their fate and did not deserve any sympathy.

"What if we kill someone in the outer city?" Huo Yuhao suddenly stopped and turned his gaze to the woman beside him. His tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable sharpness.

The woman was taken aback by his sudden question, and then subconsciously replied, "The outer city forbids killing, which is an ironclad rule. Anyone who dares to violate it will be directly killed by the enforcers of the Killing City, or have their cultivation crippled and thrown into the inner city to be slaughtered by others. Young master, although the outer city is oppressive, it is also the only safe place to live. You must not easily break the rules."

As she spoke, a hint of worry appeared in her eyes as she looked at Huo Yuhao, fearing that this handsome young man might make an irreparable mistake in a moment of impulsiveness.

Unbeknownst to the woman, Huo Yuhao had already conceived the idea of ​​killing. This thought was not influenced by the dense aura of bloodlust and evil surrounding him, nor was it a momentary impulse; rather, it originated from the power of the Sea God within him. The power of the Sea God is pure and pristine, the purest power of light in the world, and is inherently incompatible with such filth and evil.

Along the way, the evil aura and decadent energy emanating from the villains roaming the outer city constantly stimulated the power of the sea god within him, causing the power of the sea god to generate a strong desire to repel and purify. This desire translated into the most direct thought: to completely annihilate these filthy things and purify this polluted land.

A faint killing intent flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. The killing intent was cold and pure, carrying the majesty of the Sea God's power, completely different from the ferocious aura of the Slaughter City.

He gazed at the thugs on the street, who resembled walking corpses, and made his decision. So what if killing was forbidden in the outer city?

Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. If these filthy things are truly an eyesore, even if they are rules set by the Asura God, he may still make an exception.

The woman keenly sensed the killing intent that instantly emanated from Huo Yuhao, and was startled. She subconsciously took half a step back, and her eyes showed more awe and fear when she looked at him.

She could clearly sense that Huo Yuhao's killing intent was not just ordinary bloodlust, but rather carried a righteous and awe-inspiring aura, like a god descending to earth to eradicate all evil in the world. That oppressive aura made her tremble involuntarily.

However, at this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a powerful suppressive force surging towards him. This was pure rule power. He hadn't expected that the Asura God would go to such lengths to use the power of rules to constrain the rules of the outer city.

If I continue to make a move, it will definitely provoke an attack from the power of the Asura God's rules.

My main task now is to deal with the King of Slaughter. Once I obtain the Asura Divine Sword, I will then eliminate the filth here.

Huo Yuhao slowly withdrew the killing intent emanating from him, the coldness in his eyes gradually fading, and he regained his previous calm. He didn't say anything more, but simply nodded slightly to the woman: "Continue leading the way."

The woman composed herself and barely managed to suppress her shock. She nodded hurriedly and turned to lead the way again, but this time, her steps became somewhat flustered. She no longer dared to be as casual as before, nor did she dare to make the slightest frivolous move.

She could clearly sense that the seemingly refined and otherworldly young man before her was far more complex than he appeared.
