Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 53 The City of Slaughter (Part 1)

half a month later.

The City of Slaughter is located in the far west of the continent. It took Xiao Yi and Qian Daoliu half a month to fly to the town of the City of Slaughter.

The town didn't look very big, but as soon as Xiao Yi stepped in, he sensed that the atmosphere around him was a bit strange. He felt that the people around him had a special kind of chill about them.

Killing intent! The moment Xiao Yi sensed the aura, he determined its nature.

Qian Daoliu led Xiao Yi to a tavern in the town and went inside.

The air inside the tavern was very stuffy, and all the decorations were black. Although it was daytime outside, stepping inside gave one a chilling and dark feeling.

Yes, it's very dark, a place that doesn't seem like a place for humans to live.

At this time, the tavern was about 30% full. Although the air was stuffy, very few people were talking, so it was very quiet.

The arrival of Qian Daoliu and his companion attracted a lot of attention, but most people only glanced at them briefly before moving on.

Qian Daoliu led Xiao Yi to a place to sit down. A waiter dressed in black with an indifferent expression walked over.

"What would you like to order?"

"Call your men out, we're heading to the City of Slaughter," Qian Daoliu said.

The waiter's expression changed slightly. "I don't understand what you're saying."

"It seems you're going to have to suffer the consequences, Xiao Yi, make your move," Qian Daoliu said.

As the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, Xiao Yi naturally didn't need to drink something like the Yellow Spring Dew.

In the Killing City, Yellow Spring Dew is a hard currency that can be used to exchange for goods or services.

Yellow Spring Dew is primarily formed from the condensed souls of human Soul Masters. It can calm the mind, refresh the spirit, and aid in the recovery of a Soul Master's mental strength. Simultaneously, it can increase Soul Power, which is a tremendous help to Soul Masters whose Soul Power growth is exceptionally slow in the City of Slaughter.

The Yellow Spring Dew also has the effect of calming killing intent, helping Soul Masters to emerge from their bloodlust. In addition, the Yellow Spring Dew can heal Soul Masters' injuries and internal wounds, helping them recover quickly.

Although the Yellow Spring Dew has these benefits, it is also a slow-acting poison. Long-term consumption can damage the mind and may even cause the Soul Master to lose their mind.

Qian Daoliu didn't think the Yellow Spring Dew was anything special, so he had no choice but to take action directly.

After all, Qian Daoliu was a judge elder of the Spirit Hall, and one of the top people in the world. There is no telling how much blood he has spilled.

Xiao Yi didn't care about killing people. After all, when he was hunting souls, some people killed a lot of people because they were greedy for money. Later, he wiped out several groups of bandits. Besides, most of the people who came here were vicious criminals. There were not many good people. So he didn't care about taking action.

"Kill him! This is the test the City of Slaughter has given us!"

"Coward! You wouldn't even dare drink the Dew of the Underworld, yet you want to enter the City of Slaughter!"

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, the people in the tavern shouted and prepared to attack.

Without saying a word, Xiao Yi activated his martial soul, releasing five soul rings—yellow, purple, black, and yellow—which caught Qian Daoliu's eye.

"Good lad, he's definitely got potential. Hopefully, Xiaoxue will be able to win him over someday." (Hehehe)

"Go! He's all alone!"

"Charge!"

The people in the tavern all rushed towards Xiao Yi.

However, Xiao Yi activated his fourth soul skill, Gravity Control, and then released his fifth soul skill, vaporizing some of the people. Next, he used Explosive Step to dodge the attacks, and then used his third soul skill to wipe out the remaining people.

In an instant, limbs and pieces of flesh were scattered all over the ground, and the fifth soul skill's great fire set the tavern ablaze.

After resolving the issue, Xiao Yi put the fire away.

Then he went to the front desk of the tavern. The waiter had seen the whole fight and was trembling under the counter. Xiao Yi dealt with the waiter and then smashed the counter. After smashing it, a hole was revealed underneath. Going down from there was the entrance to the City of Slaughter.

"Next is the City of Slaughter. Once you enter the City of Slaughter, don't trust anyone around you. There are no friends inside. You can only trust yourself and your enemies. I hope you can come out unharmed and not let Xiaoxue down," Qian Daoliu said.

"Thank you for leading the way, senior," Xiao Yi said to Qian Daoliu.

Xiao Yi then jumped in.

"I really don't know if this kid will be good or bad after he goes there. I hope he won't let us old men and Xiaoxue down," Qian Daoliu murmured.

"The King of Slaughter has been watching for so long, it's time he showed himself." Suddenly, Qian Daoliu blurted out a sentence.

"Heh, what brings the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall to my Slaughter City? Are you perhaps planning to cultivate another God of Slaughter?"

The King of Slaughter wore a blood-red robe, his entire body wrapped in a massive, high-collared scarlet cloak. His face was pale, he appeared to be middle-aged, and his hair and eyes were blood-red. From a distance, he resembled a blood-red shadow.

"Heh, do I need you to know what I'm doing? That kid who went in is a key talent I'm grooming. Don't try anything funny, or you'll be in the Slaughter City, heh you should know."

Qian Daoliu looked coldly at the King of Slaughter.

The King of Slaughter was furious but helpless. Its true form was the Nine-Headed Bat King, and this body belonged to Tang Chen.

Back when Tang Chen was undergoing his eighth Asura trial, he was ordered by the Rakshasa God to disturb Tang Chen's Asura God trial. It was through this opportunity that the Rakshasa God seized control of this body. However, after the possession, Tang Chen's soul did not perish, but instead struggled with him for control of the body.

He could only suppress Tang Chen's soul and put it to sleep. After possessing the body, he also learned Tang Chen's memories. The person in front of him was Qian Daoliu, a level 99 peerless Douluo, an existence of the same level as the owner of this body, and also the high priest of the Angel God, an existence that was opposed to his master. Although his master said that the Angel God was dead, he could still use divine power.

Because of the possession, it only cared about having fun every day and hadn't practiced any combat skills. In short, it couldn't win. If a real fight were to break out, Tang Chen's soul would resurrect, and Tang Chen might take control of the body. It hadn't had enough fun yet. Moreover, the resources of the Slaughter City were controlled by the Spirit Hall. If things really came to a head, the lifeline of the Slaughter City would be finished.

"Hmph, if he dies in the killing field, don't blame me."

After saying this, the King of Slaughter departed.

After the King of Slaughter left, Qian Daoliu felt that the King of Slaughter was somewhat familiar, and muttered, "Why do I feel a sense of déjà vu about him? I've never seen him before. Could it be Tang Chen? No way, he's been gone for a long time."

Qian Daoliu only knew that Tang Chen had gone to inherit the divine position, but he didn't know where he went to inherit the divine position. If he knew that Tang Chen had been parasitized by a soul beast and had become the current King of Slaughter, he would definitely sigh.
