Looking at Xue Qinghe's slightly flushed cheeks, Ling Yun was completely baffled. "Why are you blushing like a teapot?"
After a long while, Xue Qinghe's expression returned to normal, and he smiled and said, "I am very pleased that you have this intention."
After saying that, Xue Qinghe took out a parchment map from his soul tool and handed it to Ling Yun.
"This is a map of the Killing City. I got it by chance at an auction. It's been gathering dust in my soul tool. Now I can give it to you."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ling Yun was overjoyed to receive the map, carefully took it, and put it into his soul guide ring, then said.
"Then, Your Highness, I shall take my leave!"
"Go, and I believe you will be even stronger when we meet again!"
"Your Highness, I will certainly not disappoint you!"
Ling Yun bowed respectfully, then left the Crown Prince's residence directly.
After he left, an old man in black emerged from the shadows, came up behind Xue Qinghe, and chuckled.
"Your Highness's move is truly brilliant. Sending this brat to the City of Slaughter and using the corrupted within to nip him in the bud will ensure our plan to seize the country is foolproof."
Hearing the old man's words, Xue Qinghe shook his head slightly and chuckled, "You're wrong. I sincerely hope that Ling Yun can come out of the City of Slaughter. That way, he will become the sharpest sword in my hand!"
I have been kind to him, and as long as I don't reveal my identity, he will be loyal to me and serve me for life.
As his master, I naturally want my subordinates to be elite soldiers. Now, let's see if he can pass my test and emerge from the City of Slaughter.
After saying that, Xue Qinghe looked in the direction Ling Yun had left, a cold smile appearing on his lips, and then changed the subject.
"If Ling Yun can come out of the City of Slaughter, it means he is someone important and qualified to be my right-hand man."
But if he can't escape the City of Slaughter, it means his skills are nothing special. Even if such a person dies, I won't feel the slightest pity!
At this point, Xue Qinghe added in his mind: "However, based on my observation, I believe that Ling Yun will definitely be able to get out of the City of Slaughter. After all, he is a genius Soul Master who can absorb Soul Rings beyond his level, and he is the youngest Soul Emperor in the history of Douluo Continent!"
……
After leaving the Crown Prince's residence, Ling Yun first returned to Blazing Fire Academy to say goodbye to Huo Wu and her brother. However, he did not mention that he was going to the City of Slaughter, but only said that he was going to carry out a mission and might not be able to come back to visit them for a long time.
Although the brother and sister were reluctant to part, they understood Ling Yun's feelings and sincerely hoped that he could complete his mission soon and reunite with them.
Finally, amidst the reluctant gazes of his friends, Ling Yun left Blazing Fire Academy and embarked on his journey to the City of Slaughter.
……
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye. After this period of meditation and cultivation, Ling Yun's soul power has successfully reached level sixty-nine. It is likely that it will not be long before his soul power reaches level seventy.
Meanwhile, Ling Yun had arrived in the desolate western region of the Star Luo Empire and, following the map, came to a remote and seemingly desolate border town, where the Killing Capital was located.
To be precise, the Killing Capital is located underground in this remote border town.
Looking at the town before him, which resembled ruins, Ling Yun's lips curled up into a relaxed smile. "After traveling for so long, we've finally arrived at the City of Slaughter. Once we get there, we must get a good rest!"
After saying that, Ling Yun strode towards the town. Although the City of Slaughter was a place where one was almost certain to die, he believed that with the four soul bones in his body, as long as he did not provoke the King of Slaughter and the law enforcement team, he could walk around the City of Slaughter with impunity.
Before long, Ling Yun walked into a very simple-looking tavern and said to the bartender in a commanding tone, "Give me ten glasses of water, and a Bloody Mary as well."
The moment the words "Bloody Mary" were uttered, they instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. The others looked up and scrutinized Ling Yun with strange eyes.
Upon seeing that he was just a callow brat, a disdainful and mocking smile immediately appeared on his face.
However, the bartender's expression did not change much. He calmly brought over ten glasses of water and a bloody Mary, which was made of human blood. The faint smell of blood instantly filled Ling Yun's nostrils.
Seeing this, Lingyun picked up her water glass and drank all ten glasses of water in one gulp, without any concern that the water had been poisoned.
After consuming the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, he became immune to all poisons, and even if there was poison in the water, it would not kill him.
After drinking ten glasses of water, Ling Yun swallowed the Bloody Mary and then said to the bartender with a cold expression, "I want to go to the Killing City. Please take me there."
"Hahaha, did I hear that right? You little brat, you actually want to go to the Killing City?"
Before the bartender could speak, a chorus of disdainful laughter came from behind him.
A burly man carrying a sharp cleaver slowly walked up to Ling Yun and then chopped the wooden bar counter next to Ling Yun in two.
At this moment, the burly man spoke up again, mocking, "Kid, even we uncles don't dare to go to the Killing City rashly. You're just a little brat who hasn't even grown a beard yet, so you shouldn't go in and die."
"Thank you for reminding me, but I'm different from you guys."
As he spoke, Ling Yun glanced at the burly man beside him and said indifferently, "I'm not a coward, unlike you guys, you're a bunch of wimps."
"What did you say?!"
Hearing Ling Yun's mockery, the burly man flew into a rage and immediately raised his large cleaver to chop at Ling Yun's neck.
The burly man swung his knife fiercely, but Ling Yun remained seated, silently concentrating his soul power on his spine. Then, a fiery red scorpion tail burst forth from his body, striking the burly man's chest with lightning speed.
It was none other than his external soul bone: the Flame Tail Hook.
puff
Suddenly, the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out, and the burly man's face immediately showed a look of horror as he stared in disbelief at his chest.
The fiery tail hook had pierced his body, and the scorching flames spread out, thoroughly cooking his internal organs.
The burly man's vision went black, and he fell backward, dying instantly.
After dealing with the burly man, Ling Yun pulled the Flaming Tail Hook from his corpse and gently played with it in his hand.
Over the years, as his cultivation level has continuously increased, the quality of the Flame Tail Hook has also greatly improved.
Now, the Flame Tail Hook is no less than a 50,000-year-old soul bone. Not only can it release even hotter flames, but the power of the soul bone skill has also been greatly enhanced.
Meanwhile, the burly man's death was like a depth charge, causing a huge uproar. Many people looked at Ling Yun with fear and dared not approach him easily.
Chapter 105 Welcome to the City of Slaughter
At this moment, Ling Yun turned to the bartender, stroked the fiery tail hook, and asked with a slightly threatening smile, "Excuse me, may I go to the City of Slaughter now?"
"Hehe, of course!"
The bartender wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and activated the mechanism under the bar. Immediately, a deep secret passage appeared behind him, as bottomless as a black hole.
Thank you.
As he spoke, Ling Yun stood up and was about to walk into the secret passage and enter the City of Slaughter.
However, at that moment, an angry roar suddenly came from behind.
"You brat! Stop right there!"
Ling Yun looked up at the sound and saw a large cleaver tearing through the air and flying towards him.
Upon seeing this, he immediately sneered, "Hmph, a mere trick!"
As he spoke, the fiery tail hook shot out, directly blocking Ling Yun's path and unleashing its ultimate fire.
The moment the sharp cleaver touched the flaming tail hook, it turned into molten iron that dripped to the ground.
"Hehe, not bad. I didn't expect you to have a soul bone at such a young age. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bald, burly man dressed in black walked slowly in front of Ling Yun, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes as he stared at the fiery tail hook.
"With a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, no wonder you dared to go to the City of Slaughter. However, since you dared to kill my brother Shi Tian, then you'd better leave your life behind!"
"Brothers, get him! Take this brat down and avenge Third Brother!"
"yes, Sir!"
At Shi Tian's command, a dozen or so scarred Fallen Ones released their Martial Souls and charged toward Ling Yun with murderous intent.
These Fallen Ones are generally not very strong, only at the level of Soul Venerable and Soul Sect Master. But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If they were strong, who would become a Fallen One?
"Heh, since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish."
As he spoke, Ling Yun had already summoned the Five Elemental Locks, releasing his level 69 soul pressure, which instantly enveloped the entire hotel.
Upon sensing this terrifying soul pressure, the Fallen Ones stopped their charge and stared in horror at Ling Yun's feet.
Even Shi Tian was shocked when he saw the spirit rings flashing under Ling Yun's feet.
"Six spirit rings! This kid is actually a Spirit Emperor? And he even has a second spirit ring that's a thousand-year-old ring and a fourth spirit ring that's ten thousand-year-old..."
As he spoke, a few drops of cold sweat trickled down Shi Tian's face. He couldn't understand why a genius like Ling Yun would be so foolish as to come to the City of Slaughter.
At that moment, Ling Yun's fifth spirit ring suddenly flashed, and water-attribute spirit power poured out, instantly enveloping his body.
"Five Elements Power, Transform!"
Before he finished speaking, Ling Yun's figure had already disappeared, replaced by a majestic ice-bound deer standing before the many fallen ones.
Immediately afterwards, a cold light flashed in Ling Yun's eyes, and a chilling aura suddenly spread outwards.
In just a few breaths, the dozen or so Fallen Ones were frozen into ice sculptures, unable to move.
At this moment, Ling Yun also came to Shi Tian's side and said coldly, "Now you're the only one left. Do you have any last words?"
"Um, young man, can we make peace?"
Shi Tian said, trembling, whether from the biting cold, extreme fear, or both.
He's just a Soul King, how could he possibly defeat a Soul Emperor?
"Hehe, uncle, I still prefer your arrogant attitude from earlier. Remember to keep your eyes open in the future and don't mess with people you shouldn't."
Also, don't be a degenerate in your next life, because as long as I am here, the degenerate will never have a chance to rise again!
puff
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Yun had already pierced Shi Tian's chest with the deer antlers. The biting cold air released froze his internal organs into ice, killing him instantly.
After annihilating all the fallen ones, Ling Yun turned and rushed into the secret passage, then everything went black and he fainted.
When he opened his eyes again, what came into view was a huge city. Its size might not be comparable to Tiandou City, but it was no less than that of large cities such as Soto City and Silves City.
The city walls were towering and imposing, and elite armored cavalry patrolled outside the city gates. From a distance, the entire Killing City looked like an impregnable fortress.
Above, a crimson moon hung in the sky, bringing a glimmer of light to the city of slaughter.
"Is this the City of Slaughter?"
Ling Yun exclaimed in surprise, then slowly walked forward. It was only then that Ling Yun noticed that he had deactivated his transformation and returned to his human form.
Ling Yun summoned the Five Elemental Locks again and tried to use his soul skills, but no matter how much soul power he gathered, he could not make the soul rings flash.
