Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 234 Hell's Killing Field

The girl in black veil paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure? Less than one-tenth of those who go in there come out alive. It's also the place in our Slaughter City where the population is most likely to decrease. Each person is only required to enter the Hell Slaughter Arena once a year. As long as they can pass one battle, they can live in Slaughter City for another year."

Before this, Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan had learned about this rule through the introduction of the girl in the black veil.

Hearing the girl in black veil remind him again, Gu Xuan didn't say anything more, his black eyes just staring at her.

Facing Gu Xuan's cold gaze, through the black veil covering the woman's face, one could vaguely see the slightly furrowed brows on her beautiful face.

"In that case, please follow me." With that, the girl in black veil walked into the city.

She maintained a steady pace, always following closely beside Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan, only slightly faster than them by half a step.

The inner city gates were wide open, with no guards present. The girl in black veils indifferently explained to Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan, "The inner city doesn't need guards. Anyone from the outer city who dares to enter can go inside at any time. Of course, once inside, they must also bear the unknowns of the world within."

"Since you've just arrived in the City of Slaughter, I suggest you stay in the outer city for a while and get used to everything before moving into the inner city."

Neither Gu Xuan nor Dugu Yan replied, nor did they stop walking.

Seeing this, the girl in black veil said no more, and said calmly, "After we enter the inner city, please do not leave my side by more than five meters, otherwise, I cannot guarantee your safety."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan gave the girl in black a strange look and said, "Is it safe to be with you?"

The girl in the black veil glanced at Dugu Yan, a proud glint flashing in her not-so-beautiful eyes peeking out from beneath the veil, and said:

"I am the messenger of the King of Slaughter. In the City of Slaughter, no one dares to offend the King of Slaughter's majesty. During the twelve hours you enter this world, it is a protection period for newcomers. With me by your side, it is the best protection for your life."

After a pause, the girl in black veil continued, "After this time, your life or death will be left to fate."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan looked at Gu Xuan and smiled. There's a newcomer protection period? It seems that this City of Slaughter really does have its own system.

Without hesitation, Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan stepped into the inner city together with the girl in black veils.

As soon as they stepped into the inner city, the two immediately felt an atmosphere completely different from that of the outer city.

If the outer city is a desolate and indifferent world, then the inner city is a luxurious and crazy world, where all kinds of colorful lights can be seen everywhere.

The inner city had a much larger population than the outer city, and was completely different from the tranquility and coldness of the outer city.

The inner city was extremely chaotic.

Everywhere there were excited laughs, painful cries, and many other chilling sounds.

With a detached glance, Dugu Yan said coldly, "Rather than calling this a paradise of sin, it's more like a world of beasts."

The black-veiled girl beside the two suddenly changed her gaze and said in a deep voice, "Are you challenging the authority of the King of Slaughter? If so, the great King of Slaughter will surely wipe you out of here. Since you've come here, you can only abide by the rules."

Dugu Yan glanced indifferently at the girl in black veil, then took Gu Xuan's arm and continued forward without saying a word.

Following the girl in black veil deeper into the inner city, which could indeed be described as a city of luxury, or rather, decadence.

Just as the girl in black veil said, with her by their side, although many unfriendly gazes fell on Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan, no one came forward to harass them.

Here, Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan saw many things that they couldn't see in the outside world. If it were an ordinary person, seeing these things would increase their disgust for this world exponentially.

In this killing city, there's no need for conscious control; the killing intent surges forth relentlessly. It seems that only through killing can one release the pent-up rage within.

Even so, Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan showed no expression whatsoever.

As they were walking, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead. There were at least several dozen people gathered there, and screams of women could be heard from among them.

This wasn't the first time Gu Xuan and Dugu Yan had witnessed such commotion; both chose to ignore it and continue forward.

The girl in the black veil didn't say much, and led the two of them forward.

After a short while, the girl in black veil stopped and said, "The Hell Slaughter Arena is just ahead, the heart of the Slaughter City."

Following his gaze, Gu Xuan saw a peculiar building. The building was circular, or more accurately, an irregular cone shape, with the largest area at the bottom and narrowing towards the top.

It only extends upwards with the same diameter when it reaches a height of about 30 meters above the ground, all the way up to a height of 50 meters.

This hellish killing arena is indeed quite large, only slightly smaller than the Heavenly Dou City Great Soul Arena that Gu Xuan had visited before.

The black building gave off a very oppressive feeling. The girl in the black veil explained to Gu Xuan that this hellish killing ground was located in the very center of the entire Killing City, which showed how important it was to the Killing City.

"Are there any rules for fighting here?" Gu Xuan suddenly asked.

The girl in black veil paused for a moment, then asked, "Mr. 9527, are you about to enter the Hell Slaughter Arena?"

Gu Xuan nodded without any attempt to hide his agreement.

The girl in black gauze glanced at Gu Xuan's resolute eyes and didn't try to dissuade him any further. She said, "After you go in, register with your own ID card and wait for the competition to begin. You are not allowed to fight while waiting. Each group has ten people entering the killing field. No matter what method you use, as long as you can come out alive in the end, you'll be fine. Only one person from each group can come out alive."

At this moment, Dugu Yan asked, "Then how can one win the so-called championship?"

The girl in black veil looked at Dugu Yan with some surprise. After all, these two had only just arrived, yet they were already thinking about how to become champions.

But she didn't say anything, only explaining, "If you can participate in a hundred matches and win, then you are the champion."

"However, the person currently ranked number one in the Hell Slaughter Arena has only participated in sixty-nine matches. For each match you participate in, your identity card will gain one more victory, which means you can live here for another year and enjoy yourself freely in the inner city. Of course, you have to make sure you can still live after enjoying yourself."

The girl in black veil reminded her, "Besides the competition, you can also go inside to watch other people's killings, and the qualification for watching is to contribute a Bloody Mary."

"Bloody Mary can be yours or someone else's. As long as you don't get tired, you can keep watching once you're in. The competition is ongoing. As long as someone signs up and you gather ten people, you can start a match."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan frowned slightly. She couldn't understand why the City of Slaughter placed such importance on blood.

Dugu Yan couldn't understand it, but Gu Xuan knew. However, he couldn't explain these things to Dugu Yan right now, so he could only keep them to himself for the time being and explain them to her when he had the chance later.

Just then, several people walked into the hellish killing field from outside. Just as the girl in the black veil had said, each of them was holding a cup of scarlet blood.

With a sudden thought, Gu Xuan gave Dugu Yan a slight smile, clearly indicating that he already had an idea.

Dugu Yan instantly understood Gu Xuan's thoughts, but she simply stood there calmly.

Then Gu Xuan strode towards the last of the group of people who were about to enter.

He was a bald, burly man, shirtless, with several crisscrossing, terrifying scars on his chest, exuding a ferocious aura.

"Give me your Bloody Mary, please." Blocking the bald man's path, Gu Xuan extended his right hand to him.

He certainly couldn't use his own blood, much less Dugu Yan's. After much thought, the only way was to steal it.

Although it's somewhat immoral to do this, didn't the girl in the black veil say that the people here are full of evil and bad things? Punishing the bad things is a way to improve morality!

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, the bald, burly man paused for a moment. He glanced at the girl in black veil beside Dugu Yan not far away. Although his eyes flashed with a fierce light, he did not make any further moves, clearly somewhat afraid of the girl in black veil.

The girl in black veil spoke urgently: "Mr. 9527, if you provoke us, the newcomer protection will not work."

This statement not only reminded Gu Xuan, but also served as a reminder to the bald man.

After the girl in the black veil finished speaking, a sinister laugh rang out, and the bald man conjured a large, serrated cleaver from who-knows-where.

He didn't have a soul tool, so this must be his martial soul. The bald man raised his machete and slashed directly at Gu Xuan.

His movements didn't seem fast, but they had a feeling of overwhelming pressure, which was due to the strong fluctuations of soul power.

At least level 60, that was Gu Xuan's assessment of his opponent.

However, Gu Xuan did not retract his outstretched hand. His originally flat palm had transformed into a ferocious and domineering silver-white bone dragon claw. The bone claw gleamed with a sharp, cold light, giving people a sense of oppressiveness that was ready to devour them.

Then, the ancient Xuan Bone Dragon Claw instantly shot out and grabbed the cleaver with its backhand.

Soul skills cannot be used here, but martial souls are not restricted, and soul power remains the source of strength.

Although Gu Xuan is only at level 61, his physical attributes have reached the level of a Title Douluo. Even without soul skills, his strength is still enough to crush Soul Emperors above level 60.

The bald, burly man clearly hadn't realized how terrifying the young man before him would be, but his reaction speed was incredibly fast.

With the machete under control, he used his other hand to smash the Bloody Mary directly at Gu Xuan's head.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the bald, burly man's hand holding Bloody Mary did not fall as he had hoped.

Because his wrist had been pierced by a thin poison needle, Dugu Yan smiled smugly at Gu Xuan. The poison needle was naturally her doing.

The bald man's hand was struck by the poisoned needle, and he instantly lost his strength. The Bloody Mary fell from his hand and was caught by Gu Xuan's foot.

Gu Xuan's bone dragon claws flung away the cleaver and gripped the bald man's neck.

Turning his head, Gu Xuan said calmly to the girl in black veil, "It should be safe to kill people here."

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
