Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 237 Sword King | Recognition | Winning Over

Six months later.

Hellish Slaughter Field.

In the center of the Hell Killing Fields, there are no barriers; the outer perimeter consists of concentric rings of stands extending upwards, below which lies a vast open space with a diameter of over a hundred square meters.

At this moment, there were many spectators watching the battle from all sides.

They were all shouting at the top of their lungs, their eyes filled with a terrifying fanaticism and bloodlust.

"Kill them! Kill them all!"

"Surround him! You bunch of useless trash! Join forces and take down the Sword King first!"

"Sword King! Kill them all! That's it!"

"Chop them all up! Cut them open! Chop them into pieces!"

……

And in the hellish killing field that they were so passionate about.

A young man wielding a unique, pale gold greatsword had already severed the neck of a burly man.

Beneath him lay three headless corpses.

Their heads were not far away, their faces contorted in a grotesque grimace.

Meanwhile, the expressions of the other five people in the distance changed.

"Damn it! What bad luck! I never expected to run into the Sword King today! I should have known better than to come!" a short man said with a grim expression.

"What are you thinking? Once you're in the Hell's Killing Fields, it's too late to regret it! We'll all come at you together later!" A woman with an extremely revealing figure said coldly from the side.

"Alright! Let's attack together! That's our only chance of survival! Then we'll settle the score!" Another burly man carrying a Martial Soul Greatsword said with a ferocious expression.

however……

"Rip—!!"

Before they could even attack together, a sound like flesh being torn apart suddenly came.

They watched in disbelief as their bodies were lifted into the air, blood spurting out.

However, the next moment, their gaze rose even higher.

That's because their heads flew up.

All they could see was the indifferent expression on the blood-stained boy's face.

That was... the Sword King's Crescent Moon attack, which instantly killed them.

"You've said too much," Ning Feiliu said calmly.

He knew long before he stepped into the City of Slaughter that he should not talk too much or relax during the battle until the last drop of blood was shed.

In the time it takes to talk, one could kill countless enemies.

Moreover, there's no need to speak in this killing city, because there are no friends or partners here.

So who is he talking to?

"Sword King! Sword King!"

"Sword King! Sword King!"

"Sword King! Sword King!"

……

Immediately, the Fallen Ones below the stage began chanting Ning Feiliu's title in the Killing City with fervor.

Almost a year has passed, and Ning Feiliu has naturally made a great name for herself in the City of Slaughter.

Because he fought in the City of Slaughter using only the Crescent Moon King Sword and displayed superb swordsmanship from the Peerless Swordswoman and the Limitless Sword Saint, the Fallen all called him the Sword King.

That is indeed quite reasonable.

After all, even a Soul Douluo powerhouse had lost his life under his Crescent Moon King Sword.

Therefore, it is only natural that he is called the Sword King.

After gaining entry into the City of Slaughter, Ning Feiliu was given the number 7777, a number he thought was pretty good.

May the Ancestor Seven bless him, Amen.

Then he headed straight for the hellish killing field, familiar with the route.

He came here specifically to achieve a 100-win streak in the Hellfire Slaughter Arena—

[Achieve the title of "God of Slaughter," leave your own legend in the City of Slaughter, and obtain the "Reincarnation Domain" and the foundational rune "Dark Harvest."]

The title of "God of Slaughter" requires not only achieving a 100-game winning streak in the Hell Slaughter Arena, but also traversing the Hell Road.

Therefore, his purpose is very clear.

He then spent more than seven months there, during which he completed eighty-nine victories in the Hellish Slaughter War.

Almost every two and a half days, he would come to participate in a hellish killing battle.

In the City of Slaughter, the use of Soul Skills is restricted, but Soul Power is not limited to being the source of power.

Therefore, Soul Masters with higher cultivation levels still have an advantage here, while Ning Feiliu, being only a Soul Emperor, is at a slight disadvantage.

However, his combat experience and swordsmanship are terrifyingly powerful.

Most importantly, the restrictions in the City of Slaughter only limit the soul skills of soul rings, not the "self-created soul skills".

Ning Feiliu possesses "Crescent Moon Assault" and "Crescent Moon Heart Sword," which is equivalent to having two more soul skills compared to others.

Therefore, even when facing an attack from three Soul Douluo powerhouses, he was able to cut them all down with his sword.

Moreover, in the City of Slaughter, apart from the Hell Slaughter Arena, other places can also be the site of carnage.

Especially given Ning Feiliu's immense power, if they were to encounter him in the Hell Slaughter Arena, with the limit of ten people, even if the other nine attacked him together, it has been proven countless times that for Ning Feiliu, it would be nothing more than an easy slaughter.

Therefore, because many fallen ones took this into consideration, they united and planned to deal with Ning Feiliu outside the hellish killing field!

At that time, they united more than a hundred fallen ones and launched an attack on Ning Feiliu after he had completed the Hellish Slaughter Battle, thinking he was weak.

However, they did not know that Ning Feiliu also possessed the rune "calm and composed".

As long as he can kill, endurance is not a problem at all.

So that day he killed all of the more than one hundred fallen ones. After emerging from the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, some people thought he was exhausted and came to ambush him. He killed them all as well.

After that, no one dared to have any designs on him anymore.

The City of Slaughter was therefore particularly afraid of him, and no one would lay a hand on him except if they encountered him directly in the Hell Slaughter Arena.

Fortunately, Ning Feiliu wouldn't make a move outside the Hell Slaughter Arena, so they could only pray that they wouldn't see Ning Feiliu there.

Of course, Ning Feiliu is not a saint either, and he would never make a move outside of the hellish killing field.

He would casually kill anyone who saw something disgusting, such as something that offended his eyes in the street.

Aside from that, Ning Feiliu was still considered quite "kind" by the Fallen Ones.

After completing this Hellfire Battle, Ning Feiliu had achieved a ninety-game winning streak. He was unable to participate in the next Hellfire Battle in a short period of time, so he left.

……

The City of Slaughter, a dark and spacious room.

It was an exceptionally large chair, inlaid with blue and purple crystals. These crystals were outlined in the shape of a drum tower. Apart from this chair, everything else here was dark red.

"The Sword King has won another hellish battle, bringing his winning streak to ninety." A chilling female voice echoed in the shadows.

"I know." A tall figure sat down on the giant chair.

In the darkness, his features were not clearly visible; one could only vaguely discern that he was tall and thin.

This is naturally... the true ruler of the City of Slaughter, the King of Slaughter.

But no one knows that his true identity is actually the original Haotian Douluo, Tang Chen.

He created Haotian Douluo's cultivation technique—the Great Sumeru Hammer—and its strongest ultimate technique, the Ring Explosion.

Then, under his leadership, the Clear Sky Sect ascended to the throne of the number one Soul Master Sect on the continent.

It was only because the Clear Sky Hammer became the strongest offensive martial soul that the name of Clear Sky Douluo became so renowned.

Tang Hao's reputation is largely due to Tang Chen's prowess, not so much to Tang Hao himself.

Although Tang Hao was almost invincible among his peers when he was young, after becoming a Title Douluo, he fought against Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo of the Spirit Hall and seriously injured and killed Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall at that time.

At the time, no one knew that Qian Xunji was devoured and killed by Bibi Dong, so they blamed Tang Hao for it.

Therefore, Tang Hao is considered very powerful.

However, compared to his grandfather, a level 99 peerless Douluo and one of the two peaks of the Soul Master world, he had only defeated two level 95 titled Douluos and killed a Pope.

It's nothing at all.

Tang Chen could achieve the same impressive feat that Tang Hao was so proud of with just a casual move.

However, he is now parasitized by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King and his true mind is clouded by the Rakshasa God's divine will. He has forgotten that he inherited the Asura God's position and became a god, and has become this King of Slaughter.

"He's almost completed a hundred hellish killing battles in just over six months... This person is very strong," the girl in black said to the King of Slaughter.

"I know..." The King of Slaughter lifted the beautiful face of the girl in the black veil with three fingers, but his eyes also showed some trembling.

"Great King...should we start contacting him? The City of Slaughter hasn't had a truly strong member join for a long time." The girl in black veils gazed at the King of Slaughter and asked.

"We can make contact with him. He's incredibly strong, terrifyingly strong. Completing a hundred hellish killing battles is only a matter of time," the King of Slaughter said directly.

He watched Ning Feiliu's retreating figure as he walked out of the arena. It was truly hard to imagine that a boy who looked so young, not even twenty years old, could be so powerful.

In this city of slaughter, strength does not refer to cultivation level, but rather to combat experience and skills.

The King of Slaughter had been paying attention to Ning Feiliu ever since he achieved his sixtieth consecutive victory in the Hell Slaughter Battle.

Watching his hellish killing battles, I always felt that every swing of his sword and every step he took was so flawless.

Even if it were the King of Slaughter himself, he felt that he might not be able to complete the killing as perfectly as Ning Feiliu.

He couldn't have done any better, not even as well as Ning Feiliu.

Therefore, in the eyes of the King of Slaughter, Ning Feiliu... is undoubtedly an absolute powerhouse!

Even... compared to those two Gods of Slaughter who have successfully left the City of Slaughter and obtained the title of "God of Slaughter", Ning Feiliu is stronger than them!

It took those two killing gods almost two years to complete a hundred hellish killing battles.

Ning Feiliu has achieved a ninety-game winning streak in just over seven months. It's safe to say that he will be able to complete a hundred Hellfire Battles in less than a year.

The King of Slaughter naturally felt that Ning Feiliu was even more powerful than the two "Gods of Slaughter" before him.

But precisely because of this...

The King of Slaughter could not allow Ning Feiliu to complete a hundred hellish killing battles and attempt to break through to the Path of Hell.

If the Path to Hell is successfully breached, another god of death will emerge.

The city of slaughter may face annihilation in the future!

"Great King...then I will go and make contact with him. What price can we pay to keep him here?" The girl in black veil nestled affectionately in the arms of the King of Slaughter and asked.

"The honorary 'God of Slaughter' is a guest elder of the City of Slaughter, second only to you and me in status, and is allowed free entry and exit from the City of Slaughter..." the King of Slaughter said immediately, "As long as he wants it, I can give him anything except the power of the true 'God of Slaughter'."

"Yes... the great king..." The girl in black veils began to engage in a blood-pumping act with the King of Slaughter.

After everything was over, she asked again, "What if he doesn't agree?"

"Then... after opening the Path to Hell, take advantage of his distraction and kill him directly!" the King of Slaughter said coldly.

Ning Feiliu was actually right, because unlike Tang San and Hu Liena in the original story, he didn't have two "Gods of Slaughter" standing behind him, Tang Hao and Bibi Dong respectively, so the King of Slaughter wouldn't be afraid of him at all.

Once Ning Feiliu achieves a 100-game winning streak in the Hell Slaughter Arena and insists on attempting the Hell Road, the King of Slaughter will no longer tolerate him.

They wouldn't even think about the possibility of him dying on the road to hell.

In the original storyline, the King of Slaughter wanted to gamble on the possibility that Tang San and Hu Liena might die in the Hell Slaughter Arena because Tang Hao and Bibi Dong were his bargaining chips.

Without any bargaining chips, the King of Slaughter would not gamble with Ning Feiliu; he would only want to... kill him!

"Yes... Your Majesty..."

……

Five days later.

Ning Feiliu once again won the ninety-second Hell Slaughter Battle in a simple and unpretentious manner. He ignored the cheers and the fear and tension of the fallen ones around him, and left the Hell Slaughter Arena.

But just then...

He saw the girl in black veil not far away, and then paused for a moment.

The girl in the black veil was alone at the moment, and it didn't seem like she was leading a newcomer to witness the hellish killing battle.

Since entering the City of Slaughter six months ago, Ning Feiliu has basically not seen the guide from the City of Slaughter again.

Just then, the girl in the black veil slowly stepped forward and came to stand in front of him.

"Sword King, come and have a chat with me," she said to Ning Feiliu.

Ning Feiliu quickly regained his composure, but he did not directly refuse the girl in the black veil, saying, "Okay."

Then they arrived at a tavern.

The City of Slaughter is a place with a food supply, and behind them is the official entity of the City of Slaughter, which is ruled by the Lord of Slaughter.

Therefore, the Fallen rarely cause trouble here, though it's not that they don't.

However, as long as we don't target those government officials, it's fine.

If things escalate, and you're not particularly strong, you'll only be besieged and killed by the enforcement team of the Killing City.

"Two Bloody Marys," Ning Feiliu said to the bartender.

Then, at that moment, the Crescent Moon King Sword appeared in his hand, and suddenly beheaded two other fallen men standing side by side in the tavern.

"Consider this my payment for being here," Ning Feiliu casually said to the tavern waiter.

"Yes, Sword King." The tavern waiter replied.

Then, at a shout, two people came out from the side and took the two headless corpses away.

Soon, two Bloody Marys appeared in front of Ning Feiliu and the girl in black veil.

"May I ask, sir, what brings you here?" Ning Feiliu asked after taking a sip of Bloody Mary under the gaze of the girl in black veil.
