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

Chapter 357 A little bat wants to keep me here?

"Heroes have always emerged from among the young!"

The King of Slaughter spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and deep, carrying a deliberate air of age and admiration.

He tried hard to suppress the sinister aura emanating from him and attempted to adopt a gentle demeanor.

"I have ruled the City of Slaughter for hundreds of years and have seen countless genius Soul Masters, but I have never seen a prodigy like you. I never imagined that at such a young age you would already be the personal successor of Lord Sea God, possessing divine origin. Such talent and opportunity are extremely rare, even across the entire Douluo Continent. Your future is undoubtedly limitless!"

Despite the deliberate and nauseating flattery, Huo Yuhao maintained a calm and composed expression on his face, but inwardly he felt a pang of resentment and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Good heavens, he really didn't expect that a soul beast born in a dark and evil place and dependent on the Rakshasa God could be so good at flattery, speaking so eloquently and skillfully, even more so than those politicians who mingled in the imperial court.

Who says that all spirit beasts are straightforward and naive? This bat in front of us has probably honed its flattery skills to the extreme.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's calm expression and silence, the King of Slaughter assumed that he was moved by his praise. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and he quickly seized the opportunity to throw out his bait, his tone carrying a hint of temptation.

The King of Slaughter said, "I have always admired your extraordinary talent. Heroes cherish heroes, so why don't you become my friend?"

"As long as you nod in agreement, I will immediately grant you the supreme authority to freely enter and leave the City of Slaughter. From now on, no one will dare to stop you from walking within the City of Slaughter! In addition, I can make an exception and allow you to use your soul skills freely within this city without any restrictions, and no one will dare to interfere!"

These conditions are undeniably generous. It should be noted that any Soul Master who enters the City of Slaughter is restricted by its rules, unable to freely use Soul Skills, and can only rely on the rudimentary application of physical strength and Soul Power to fight. The right to freely enter and exit is something that countless Soul Masters dream of.

Any Soul Master entering the City of Slaughter would be overjoyed and agree without hesitation to such a temptation.

A brief silence fell over the main hall, with only the eerie atmosphere slowly wafting through the air.

The King of Slaughter stared intently at Huo Yuhao, his eyes filled with anticipation and certainty. He firmly believed that no one could refuse such generous terms.

A moment later, Huo Yuhao slowly spoke. His words were still calm, but they were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the King of Slaughter's expectations. His smile froze little by little, and his face darkened at a visible speed.

"Thank you for your kindness and goodwill, Lord of Slaughter."

"The reason I resolutely stepped into this killing city is to undergo the trials of hellish slaughter and to traverse the hellish road where I am on the verge of death. Therefore, I still want to return to the hellish killing field and complete my goal step by step."

As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop several degrees instantly. The King of Slaughter's face turned ashen, and the sinister aura and killing intent that he had previously restrained exploded without reservation. His scarlet eyes were filled with icy rage.

He was furious and filled with murderous intent. He would never let Huo Yuhao stay in the Hell Slaughter Arena, much less let him cross the Hell Road!

He knew very well that every time a God of Slaughter was born in the City of Slaughter, a portion of the Asura God's inherited power would be taken away, and he himself had only been able to survive by relying on this portion of power.

He absolutely did not want the City of Slaughter to have another God of Slaughter, especially since this God of Slaughter was the successor of the Sea God!

Once Huo Yuhao passes through the Hell Road and successfully obtains the Killing God Domain, the rules of the Slaughter City will no longer be able to restrict him in any way.

By then, the opponent will possess both the sacred power inherited from the Sea God and the sinister power of the God of Slaughter's domain. The two will complement each other, and his strength will surely reach a new level. At that time, how could I possibly be his opponent?

I'm afraid it won't be long before I'm completely annihilated by the other party, and Tang Chen's body and the inheritance of the Asura God will also be taken away by the other party!

The King of Slaughter was filled with fear and overwhelming killing intent. Little did he know that the future he feared was already the present reality.

Even if Huo Yuhao hadn't obtained the Killing God Domain after passing through Hell Road, even now, with Huo Yuhao's current strength and his identity as the inheritor of the Sea God, he would be no match for him. If they were to really fight, his defeat would be instantaneous.

Huo Yuhao's immediate and unwavering refusal was merely a ploy to tease him. He had never taken the other party's temptations seriously. His goal was never any freedom or the God of Slaughter's Domain, but rather the Asura God Sword wielded by the King of Slaughter and the complete inheritance belonging to the God of Slaughter!

The King of Slaughter's expression shifted constantly between light and dark, his scarlet eyes swirling with murderous intent, and his aura grew increasingly chilling, as if the air in the hall had been frozen.

After a moment, he slowly suppressed his anger, and when he spoke again, his words carried an undisguised threat, his voice icy and chilling: "Boy, you'd better think this through! In this city of slaughter, my word is law. No one has ever dared to refuse my invitation so readily! If you know what's good for you, you'd better accept obediently, or the consequences will be more than you can bear!"

Before he finished speaking, the King of Slaughter moved his hand slightly. Without releasing any soul skills, he activated the restrictions of the hall with only his powerful physical strength.

With a deafening roar, the heavy black stone gate that had been slowly opening slammed shut in an instant, the tremendous sound echoing throughout the hall, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

The moment the gate closed, an extremely strong, sweet and pungent smell of blood instantly permeated the entire hall. The smell was so intense it was nauseating, yet it also carried a strange sweetness. It was the scent of countless soul masters' blood, formed over the years, and its aroma stirred the mind and soul.

"Oh?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint sneer playing on his lips. His eyes, sharp as knives, stared directly at the King of Slaughter on his high throne. He slowly spoke, "What? Are you planning to completely tear off the mask of civility and force me to stay here at all costs?"

Faced with Huo Yuhao's blatant mockery, the last shred of restraint in the King of Slaughter's heart completely collapsed. His expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, his scarlet eyes revealing murderous intent, and the sinister aura around him surged as if it were a tangible substance, causing the entire hall to tremble slightly.

"Outrageous! Utterly outrageous!"

The King of Slaughter roared furiously, his voice hoarse and violent, "Do you know that this City of Slaughter is my territory? In all these decades, no one has ever dared to provoke me like this in my City of Slaughter! I've already given you two chances: once I summoned you, and once I sincerely sought your friendship. But there's no third time! Since you insist on being my enemy, insist on courting death, then don't blame me for being ruthless and leaving you here in this City of Slaughter forever!"

"It's ridiculous that you're still spouting these high-sounding nonsense at this point."

Huo Yuhao's sarcasm deepened, his eyes filled with disdain. He took a step forward, a faint golden light swirling around him, and a sacred and majestic aura was quietly released, colliding with the sinister aura within the hall.

"Do you really think that you, a mere bat that lives by attaching itself to the Rakshasa God and clinging to life by possessing other people's bodies, can stop me?"

"So you think you can keep me here in this killing city?"
