Douluo Continent: Starting with the Fire-Breathing Dragon Martial Soul!

Chapter 282 Speedrunner

Lin Mo initially chose to come to the Killing City for two reasons.

Firstly, gather enough Qi and Blood to condense the Qi and Blood Soul Core, and incidentally improve the quality of the Crimson Blood Heart.

After more than two years of practice, this goal has been basically achieved.

The power of his accumulated blood and qi is enough for him to attempt to condense a blood and qi soul core and the final boundary, becoming a soul bone that lasts for 100,000 years.

As for the second objective—

It means passing through the Hell Road and obtaining the God of Slaughter Domain.

Now, that goal is finally within reach.

Lin Mo was filled with anticipation.

I don't know how much time passed.

It could be a fleeting moment, or it could be a very long time.

Lin Mo regained consciousness.

He slowly opened his eyes and immediately looked to his side.

Hu Liena was lying not far from him, her eyes closed, her breathing steady, and she had not yet woken up.

Lin Mo quickly stood up and looked around.

They were currently on a circular platform.

The platform is about five meters in diameter, not very big, but enough for two people to move around in.

This should be their "birth point" on the Road to Hell.

At the edge of the platform is a winding path leading forward.

The path was very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time.

Below the path was a bottomless darkness, with the faint sound of flowing water.

That should be the blood-red river of the Slaughter City, and also the core and source of power of the Slaughter City.

In front of the platform, a narrow, winding path stretched forward and disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

His and Hu Liena's "main quest" on this Hell Road is to follow this path forward until they reach the end, which will be considered leaving Hell Road.

After completing the main quest, you will obtain the God of Slaughter Domain.

There are also two "side quests" to complete during this period.

"Ugh————"

A soft hum came from the side.

Lin Mo turned his head and saw that Hu Liena had already woken up.

However, her condition was clearly not right.

Unlike Lin Mo's nonchalant demeanor, Hu Liena was in extremely poor condition at this moment.

As soon as she woke up, her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Her eyes had turned completely blood red, and a very faint layer of blood mist seeped from the surface of her skin.

The white ripples formed from her killing intent fluctuated violently around her body, making her look like she was about to collapse at any moment.

Hu Liena instinctively covered her head with her hands and let out a painful groan.

Her breathing became rapid, her chest heaved violently, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

She tried hard to control the murderous intent surging within her, but with little success.

"really----"

Lin Mo shook his head.

Hu Liena's victories in the Hell Killing Arena were mostly achieved in a short period of time.

Although the antidote provided by Lin Mo helped clear the toxins from her body, the accumulating killing intent still brought her considerable negative effects.

Responsible.

Especially after entering Hell Road, the surrounding environment suddenly intensified the stimulation of killing intent, directly pushing Hu Liena to the brink of losing control.

If Hu Liena is left unchecked in her current state, she will completely lose her mind and become a madwoman who only knows how to kill in a few minutes at most.

This can't go on.

Lin Mo raised his right hand, and blood energy quickly gathered in his palm, condensing into several slender blood needles.

The blood needle is about three inches long and dark red all over.

Lin Mo flicked his finger.

Several blood needles shot out and pierced into several major acupoints on Hu Liena's body.

The moment the needle pierced her skin, Hu Liena's body trembled violently.

The stimulation from those acupoints forcibly interrupted her murderous rage, clearing her chaotic mind.

The murderous aura ripples stabilized again.

The bloodshot in Hu Liena's eyes quickly faded, and she regained her clarity, looking around somewhat blankly.

"What...what happened to me just now?"

"The murderous intent is out of control."

Lin Mo withdrew his hand, his tone calm, "But it's all over now."

Hu Liena looked down at her body and sensed her internal state, quickly understanding what had just happened.

"Thank you, Blood Asura."

She looked at Lin Mo with a complicated expression.

If the other party hadn't intervened in time, she probably would have completely lost control.

"It's alright."

Lin Mo said in a calm tone.

"Now that we've chosen to cooperate, I can't just leave you here unattended."

However, despite this, his decision to do so was mainly based on considerations of his own interests.

After all, if he were the only one to emerge from Hell Road, while Hu Liena died inside—

Then Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who were waiting outside to meet Hu Liena, would probably not let him go easily.

Those two were sent by Bibi Dong. If we only see him come out while Hu Liena dies in Hell Road, then things will get really interesting.

Given the strength of those two Title Douluos, coupled with Bibi Dong's rage, even if he manages to leave, he will inevitably run into considerable trouble.

"You—you haven't been affected by this place?"

Hu Liena looked at Lin Mo with great surprise.

At this moment, Lin Mo's eyes had completely returned to normal and were no longer blood red.

The blood and qi on the surface of his skin had also been completely suppressed, making him look like a completely different person compared to when he was in the Killing City.

"Oh, you mean this?"

Lin Mo raised his right hand.

As he finished speaking, the toxins that had been gathering on the surface of his body began to rapidly condense towards the tip of his right index finger.

The toxins were forced out from deep within the skin, condensing into a dark red liquid at the fingertips.

The liquid emitted an extremely foul odor; even a whiff of it was enough to make one feel dizzy.

Lin Mo flicked his finger.

The toxic substance transformed into a thin, dark red line, disappearing into the blood-red river below the platform.

"You—you're unaffected by the toxins?"

Hu Liena's eyes widened, her voice stammering, "You were faking it before? You were able to return to normal all along?"

Her gaze swept back and forth between Lin Mo's clear eyes and clean skin, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"Um."

Lin Mo nodded without explaining further.

Hu Liena was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.

"You put on that act to deceive the King of Slaughter?"

She finally understood.

If Lin Mo had truly recovered from the poison's effects long ago, then all the states he exhibited in the Killing City would be:

Those blood-red eyes and the violent aura emanating from his body were probably all a facade.

This person—has kept it all hidden for too long.

Lin Mo did not answer her question.

He walked to the edge of the platform and looked again at the winding path ahead.

Thanks to the unique advantages brought by his original martial soul, he is extremely good at controlling his own body.

Although the murderous aura he had accumulated over the past two years living in the Killing City was quite powerful, it was still far from enough to make him lose control.

The abnormalities that appeared on his body were all deliberate facades.

The purpose was to mislead the King of Slaughter, making him believe that he was deeply poisoned and would surely die once he entered the Hell Road.

In retrospect, the plan was a great success.

The King of Slaughter was indeed fooled.

"Can you keep up?"

Lin Mo turned to look at Hu Liena and asked in a calm voice.

Hu Liena bit her lip and nodded vigorously: "Yes."

She knew she wasn't in a good position, but since she had already come this far, there was no reason to back down.

Moreover, with a powerful companion like Lin Mo by our side, the chances of getting through the Hell Road are much greater.

Lin Mo glanced at her but said nothing more.

With a slight thought, his blood and qi surged from his back, quickly solidifying into a tangible form.

In the blink of an eye, a pair of large, blood-red wings took shape behind him.

The wings were made entirely of blood and qi, and were blood red with a faint luster flowing across their surface.

Judging from their appearance, these wings are very similar to his external soul bone, the Crimson Phoenix Wings, only they are more ferocious.

Blood and qi transform into wings.

Supported by wings made of blood energy, Lin Mo slowly lifted off the ground and hovered in mid-air.

Hu Liena was stunned by what she saw.

"This is... the ability to fly?"

Hu Liena was stunned again.

She hadn't expected that Lin Mo would have such hidden methods.

I guess so.

Lin Mo didn't offer much explanation.

"I'm gone."

"If you can't keep up, I won't wait for you."

Lin Mo's voice pulled Hu Liena back to reality.

She looked up and saw Lin Mo's wings flap suddenly.

boom

A surge of air.

Lin Mo transformed into a streak of crimson light and sped along the winding path ahead.

It moved so fast that it disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

He wants to quickly cross the road to hell!

Hu Liena's pupils suddenly contracted.

She dared not delay any longer, channeling her soul power to its fullest extent, and with a burst of speed from her feet, she shot out like an arrow, chasing after the direction where Lin Mo had disappeared.
