Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 117 Combat

Yuan Changqing drew his twin swords and engaged West in battle, the two swords flashing back and forth.

West used a knight's lance to deflect the attack of the two swords, and then charged forward to stab Yuan Changqing.

Seeing the lance thrusting towards him, Yuan Changqing used his feet to dodge to the left, then quickly jumped forward, swinging his sword at West.

West quickly retreated to dodge the attack, then wielded his lance like a nimble dragon, engaging Yuan Changqing in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Yuan Changqing, relying on his swordsmanship and the techniques from the Five Animal Frolics, constantly clashed with West's weapons, and the battlefield was filled with the shadows of swords and spears.

Then, with West exhausted and running out of steam, Yuan Changqing launched a furious attack, forcing West to defend repeatedly and unable to launch a counterattack. As the saying goes, prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat.

So Yuan Changqing didn't give West a chance. Seizing the opportunity, he used his deer-like leap to appear in front of West in an instant, and a sword was placed against West's neck.

Yuan Changqing said, "West, may I go in now?"

West took out a number plate and handed it to Yuan Changqing, saying, "Of course, you can go in now. This is your identity once you're inside."

He then explained, "It's my duty to stop you here. But be careful once you're inside; the survival rule there is to stop killing with killing."

Yuan Changqing looked grateful and said, "Thank you, West. I'll be careful."

Then, after looking at the number on the license plate: 7749, Yuan Changqing followed the road West pointed out and entered the outer city of the Killing City.

Upon entering, one is greeted by a desolate landscape. There are no houses, not even a simple shack. Where do the people living in the outer city live? They live in caves.

Even with such an environment, it's not bad for people living in the outer city, and even so, there are still monthly fees to pay.

Unlike outside, where you can use gold soul coins, the currency in Killing City is Bloody Mary. Therefore, you have to pay two Bloody Marys as rent every month.

Those who live in the outer city are either people who dare not venture into the inner city to risk their lives, or people who are not strong enough and can only choose to eke out a living in the outer city.

Although the outer city environment is terrible, it's not without its advantages. You can't kill people here, and you're protected by the King of Slaughter, who are known as the Fallen.

Moreover, as mentioned before, Bloody Mary was made by mixing the blood of people who died in the Killing City with soul power.

Furthermore, living in the Killing City for a long time will cause the killing intent of the Killing City to erode one's mind, making one lose their rationality, and Bloody Mary is something that suppresses the killing intent.

However, every advantage has its drawbacks. If you drink too much Bloody Mary, you will become dependent on it, and its effect on suppressing killing intent will weaken. This is because Bloody Mary itself contains a small amount of killing intent, so once it enters the body, the killing intent will accumulate more and more.

Yuan Changqing did not linger in the outer city, but went directly into the inner city.

The inner city and the outer city are different worlds. In this world, the strong are respected and anyone can be killed.

The inner city was devoid of order and rules, filled with bestial desires; it was a place that existed solely for killing. This was the reason why Tang San later came here and destroyed it.

Moreover, there is only one strict requirement in the inner city: every person must participate in the killing arena once a year. Each killing arena consists of ten people, and only one person can survive.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Yuan Changqing was greeted by a guide, a scantily clad and alluring woman.

"Hello, newcomer, my name is Monica, and I'll be your guide for the next three days. So, where's your number?" the woman said to Yuan Changqing in a suggestive manner.

The woman named Monica was indeed very alluring, but Yuan Changqing had no interest in her. He handed over his number and asked, "Hello, Monica, this is my number. Could you please introduce me to the place?"

Monica then began to introduce the place, saying, "7749, since you've just arrived here, you have a three-day protection period. During these three days, you will not be harmed by anyone. This is a rule set by the great King of Slaughter."

Yuan Changqing nodded and asked, "And what about three days from now?"

Monica added, "After three days, you will no longer be under protection. So, I will stay by your side for these three days. When the people in the city see me by your side, they will know that you are still under protection."

"Then, Monica, please tell me about other things in the city!" Yuan Changqing asked again.

"Alright, I'll tell you about the rules of the Killing City. First of all, here, Bloody Mary is the universal currency. You can buy anything you want here." After saying that, Monica took out a Bloody Mary.

"Secondly, here there are no rules. You can kill, rape, and plunder anytime, anywhere."

"Secondly, if you want to live well here and have a comfortable place to live, then it depends on whether you have the strength to take it. Moreover, you can take anything here, as long as you are strong enough."

"Finally, there's the thing about those who come here. Every year, they have to go to the killing field, a massive free-for-all of ten people, and only one can survive."

Yuan Changqing nodded and asked, "Anything else?"

Monica thought for a moment and then reminded her, "Besides trying to stay alive, you also need to earn as many Bloody Marys as possible here. That's the universal currency that can buy a lot of things."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Changqing realized that to have a good life here, one needed power and Bloody Mary.

How do you get a Bloody Mary? The quickest way is, of course, to rob someone directly. Another way is to kill someone and use the dead to exchange for or make Bloody Marys.

For Yuan Changqing, who had never witnessed such scenes before, the mere thought of them sent chills down his spine. He wondered to himself, "Why did I decide to come to this hellish place, the City of Slaughter? Is it because it's a must-visit spot for every transmigrator who comes to Douluo Continent?!"

Shaking her head, deciding not to think about it anymore, she asked again, "Monica, so, have there been any battles in the killing arena these past three days?"

Monica replied, "You've come at just the right time. There's a killing field opening tomorrow. I can take you to see it so you can get a feel for life here."

"Okay, thank you, Monica," Yuan Changqing said to Monica.

"You're welcome. I'll be your guide for the next three days. You can ask me anything about this place, as long as I know the information!" Catherine explained.

Then he said, "Well then, 7749, come with me now, I'll take you to your temporary lodgings."
