Outside the Hell Slaughterhouse, Hu Liena looked at the non-standard conical building ahead, a trace of melancholy in her expression.
She glanced at the Nethermoon behind her, emitting a cold, eerie light, and the purple and blue candlelight flickered on the street.
As she was about to leave this City of Slaughter, she suddenly realized that she didn't dislike it as much as she thought, or rather, she didn't dislike the time she spent here as much.
Was it because that person was here? Hu Liena wondered with complicated emotions.
A figure in black clothes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with meticulously combed hair, sharp eyes, and a stern expression appeared in her mind.
"Caw..." A crow with white circles around its eyes circled a few times before landing on her shoulder.
Hu Liena closed her eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed the complexity in her heart, and after adjusting her emotions, she said in a slightly brisk voice:
"Let's go, little crow."
After speaking, she walked towards the Hell Slaughterhouse with firm steps.
As she walked, Hu Liena felt a burst of inexplicable panic, as if she was about to lose something important.
She couldn't help but quicken her pace, entering the building filled with blood and violence in a state of unease.
When she saw the scene in the Slaughterhouse, she was stunned.
"Gehrman" was clutching his chest with one hand, and a willow-leaf-thin flying knife was stuck in it. His other hand grabbed Tang San's arm, and he said in a very low voice, only audible to Tang San:
"Safely take her away. You can get a soul bone of more than 50,000 years. I've already told her the location. I told her that if she gets out safely, she will tell you this news."
"Gehrman!" Hu Liena couldn't help but rush into the arena.
At this moment, Tang San's body was overflowing with killing intent. His hundredth victory had caused his killing intent to surge, reaching a point where he could no longer control it.
Seeing Hu Liena rushing over, he took a step back.
"Did you kill him?" Hu Liena stared at Tang San with red eyes.
Tang San nodded calmly: "Think carefully about whether he has said anything to you recently... This was his own choice. Do you think that if he hadn't intended to do so, would it be me or him lying on the ground?"
Hu Liena barely regained the reason that was about to be swallowed by anger. Recalling what he had said to her before coming to the Hell Slaughterhouse, she realized that there had seemed to be signs since then.
And the unease and anxiety she felt when entering the Slaughterhouse were probably a subconscious feeling that there was something wrong with those words, but she hadn't understood it before.
Hu Liena shed tears of sorrow, sobbing softly.
Tang San said softly: "He did it for you. What you should do now is to cheer up and not waste the sacrifice he made for you. Pass through Hell Road and live well. It's not good to say too much in detail now, but I can explain it to you properly later."
"I know... I know." Hu Liena wiped away her tears, and when she stood up, only determination remained in her eyes.
The second match began, and Hu Liena vented all her frustration on her opponent. It wasn't until she cut the throat of the last person with her dagger, and her killing intent soared, that she felt much better.
"Congratulations, young 'Hell Envoy' and 'Asura King'."
A deep, sharp voice suddenly came from all directions.
At this moment, the huge killing intent accumulated on Tang San and Hu Liena was forced back into their bodies, causing their faces to turn pale.
Tang San's heart tightened, feeling a bit of shock.
He thought to himself: Is this the terrifying strength of the King of Slaughter? No wonder even Gehrman had to sacrifice himself to give Hu Liena a chance to get out. If he is targeted, even someone as strong as Gehrman would only die if he didn't obey.
At the same time, he was also a little fortunate that he had obtained enough victories early on, so that the King of Slaughter could not directly attack him due to the rules...
This was the information that Amon revealed. In fact, what truly made the King of Slaughter afraid was Tang Hao and Bibi Dong behind them, not the so-called rule that he couldn't attack if they had enough victories.
The City of Slaughter was no longer the original City of Slaughter. The evil thoughts of the Rakshasa God had eroded the rules left by the Asura God.
Especially after the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, which was originally part of the divine test, parasitized Tang Chen's body and broke through the restrictions set by the Asura God, becoming the King of Slaughter, some rules had become invalid.
As the blood-red figure descended from the sky, the atmosphere in the Hell Slaughterhouse rose to its peak.
"King of Slaughter, King of Slaughter, King of Slaughter..."
The fallen people watching the battle shouted hoarsely, but did not stop at all, as if they were influenced by some force.
A crow with white circles around its eyes fluttered its wings and slowly landed on Hu Liena's shoulder.
The King of Slaughter glanced at the body of "Gehrman" lying on the ground, cursing "trash" in his heart.
He focused his gaze on Hu Liena and Tang San, and said against his will in a loud voice:
"I am very happy to see the birth of two hundred-win 'champions' today. This is a grand occasion that has not occurred in decades. Their powerful strength and killing intent are making your hearts tremble, aren't they? My people."
"Yes... Yes... Yes..."
The King of Slaughter exuded a strange, sweet and fishy aura, which intoxicated the fallen people.
The King of Slaughter hovered at a height of about five meters, looking down at the two of them:
"To commend you, I have decided to exceptionally grant you the title of God of Slaughter. From now on, you can freely enter and leave the City of Slaughter."
Without walking the Hell Road?
Tang San and Hu Liena looked at each other, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Without walking the Hell Road, they would not be able to obtain the Slaughter God Domain, and Gehrman's sacrifice would become futile and meaningless... Hu Liena could not accept such a result.
She said coldly: "No need, I would rather rely on my own strength to walk out of here and become a true God of Slaughter."
The King of Slaughter's face darkened a bit: "The terror of Hell Road is beyond your imagination. I hope you understand that human life only happens once."
"But there are always things that are more important than life." Hu Liena looked at "Gehrman's" body and said with a firm expression.
Tang San also spoke in agreement: "The purpose of my coming here is to pass through Hell Road. I hope you can allow it."
The King of Slaughter's eyes were deep, and some minor rules he could ignore after breaking through the restraints, but some core rules he still needed to abide by.
He said in a somewhat gloomy tone:
"Then as you wish... It won't be lonely to have someone accompany you on Hell Road. If you can pass the test and become the new generation of Gods of Slaughter, please say hello to your elders for me."
A thick red mist suddenly released from the King of Slaughter, and the huge aura forced Tang San and Hu Liena to retreat.
This extremely cold and evil power transformed into red ripples, slowly spreading out and covering the entire arena.
The fallen people in Spectator showed excited expressions. They were curious about the mysterious Hell Road, but they did not know that those who had seen Hell Road, except for the Gods of Slaughter and the King of Slaughter, were all dead. These spectators were the sacrifices for the opening of Hell Road.
Tang San and Hu Liena discovered that the red light released by the King of Slaughter, although giving them great pressure, was not directed at them, but towards the surrounding stands.
The fallen people who were originally cheering wildly became quiet as the red light landed on the stands, their eyes gradually becoming dull.
The red light formed a huge barrier in the Hell Slaughterhouse, and screams of pain rang out one after another. The fallen people frantically scratched their faces and bodies, their faces showing both pain and enjoyment, as if they could obtain infinite pleasure from this masochistic pain.
Skin rolled up, blood splattered, muscles blurred, revealing bones... They tore open their chests, ripped open their abdomens, and took out their lungs, kidneys, livers, hearts and other organs one by one.
Looking at this strange and terrifying scene, even Tang San and Hu Liena, who had faced countless slaughters, couldn't help but turn pale.
Only the crow staying on Hu Liena's body showed an interested expression, watching the surroundings without blinking.
Blood splattered on the ground, converging into small streams, flowing down inconspicuous small pipes under the stands towards the center of the Slaughterhouse. Countless winding red liquids flowed into it like small snakes.
The King of Slaughter looked intoxicated, as if he was enjoying the scene in front of him. His low voice sounded, slightly smiling:
"Being able to become sacrifices for the opening of Hell Road is their glory. These humble and lowly lives, being able to become a part of Hell, shouldn't they celebrate?"
Blood light emerged, swallowing all the corpses on the ground, including "Gehrman's".
The ground gradually appeared with grooves, and blood was injected into them, forming a huge blood-red pattern.
Tang San and Hu Liena were both in the pattern, making it difficult to see its full picture. They closed their eyes in unison and released their mental power to observe the surroundings.
The pattern formed by blood was a creature similar to a bird, but it looked a little strange and not as simple as an ordinary bird.
Just as they were feeling puzzled by this, the bird's eyes lit up, and the released mental power was instantly shattered. A huge red light soared into the sky, and everything around them became blurred.
The King of Slaughter's low voice, carrying a bit of sarcasm, echoed in their ears:
"I wish you a pleasant journey on Hell Road."
At the moment when their mental power was shattered, Tang San finally understood the shape of the bird pattern. A bat, it seemed to be a bat pattern.
In the red light, Tang San and Hu Liena felt their feet leave the ground, and everything around them became illusory. All senses were sealed, and they could not control themselves, which made them feel fear.
The killing intent on their bodies spontaneously gathered into a faint white shield, protecting them and blocking the devouring from the blood-red light.
They didn't know how long it had passed, but with a violent jolt, all senses returned, and they regained control of their bodies.
The surrounding blood light gradually faded away.
