The King of Slaughter smiled bitterly. "Poison Demon King, I was too rash. The sword-shaped demon mark you saw earlier is indeed a divine tool.
It is the Asura Demon Sword, the inheritance divine artifact of the Asura God.
But this divine tool does not belong to me. I cannot use it at all. To detoxify, I still need your help..."
He decisively softened his attitude, deciding to confess some information to Dugu Feng. After all, he still had to rely on Dugu Feng now.
Against that elusive Blood-Colored Swan's Kiss, he was utterly helpless.
He felt as if he were about to evaporate. If this continued, he would definitely be unable to suppress Tang Chen.
Seeing his submission, Dugu Feng immediately played along, feigning disbelief. "Oh? King of Slaughter, the inheritance divine artifact of the Asura God?
Could it be that you have obtained the inheritance of the Asura God? Otherwise, how could this divine tool be inside your body? Bibi Dong must not find out about this, or she would surely come to kill you immediately!"
Gritting his teeth, the King of Slaughter said helplessly, "To tell you the truth, Poison Demon King!
The Clear Sky Sect guessed correctly. Tang Chen did indeed come to Slaughter City to seek godhood inheritance and also obtained the God Test of the Asura God.
He was even on the verge of completing the test and inheriting the godhood.
But at the critical moment, I ambushed him, successfully interrupted his God Test, and took over his body.
The body you see now is Tang Chen's.
However, Tang Chen has already gained the recognition of the Asura Demon Sword and has been resisting me from within. Just now, Tang Chen sensed my weakness and tried to expel me!"
The more he spoke, the more shocked Dugu Feng looked. "You can actually take over someone else's body? King of Slaughter, how did you manage that?
And Tang Chen was about to complete the God Test? That's truly astonishing!"
Speaking of this, the King of Slaughter still felt quite proud. Successfully parasitizing someone on the verge of becoming a god had greatly increased his strength.
He originally thought he could steal all of Tang Chen's achievements and become a god himself.
Unexpectedly, Tang Chen was too tenacious. Under the protection of the Asura Demon Sword, he had stubbornly held on for so long without being subdued.
The King of Slaughter only reveled in his pride for a moment before hurriedly saying, "Never mind all that. I can no longer suppress the toxins inside my body. Tell me quickly, do you have any solutions?"
Dugu Feng furrowed his brows, pacing back and forth as if deep in thought.
Suddenly, he raised his head and said, "King of Slaughter, it's time to sever the arm to save the body.
Slaughter City has now become a target for all.
Both the Clear Sky Sect and Bibi Dong, who is about to become a god, regard Slaughter City as an enemy and have already begun taking action.
Why not, Your Majesty, drive away the tiger to swallow the wolf? Release Tang Chen and let him fight Bibi Dong..."
"You want me to abandon this body?!"
The King of Slaughter was furious. This was a demigod body! If he gave it up now, where would he find a more suitable one in the future?
But Dugu Feng said firmly, "If you don't give it up, is there any other way? The toxins of the Immortal Herb can only be neutralized by divine power. Soon, these toxins will inevitably contaminate and corrode your spiritual power. By then, even if you abandon the body, you won't be able to save yourself!
This is the only way!"
Moreover, he must immediately find a suitable body before the toxins in the Blood Pool spread widely!"
The King of Slaughter's expression changed drastically, and streaks of bloody light shot from his hands, continuously piercing into the Slaughter Arena below.
He was furious. Could it be that all his efforts over countless years were to be wasted today?
The blood within his body was still burning, still scorching. These toxins, working from both inside and out, combined with the sharpness of the Asura Demon Sword to pierce toward his Sea of Spirit.
Under Dugu Feng's control, the Overlord Venom rapidly corroded the King of Slaughter's body.
Although it was a Demigod Body, under the assault of the toxins, it began to show countless holes and cracks.
The King of Slaughter could no longer hold back.
Suddenly, he fixed his gaze on Dugu Feng.
As if reading his mind, Dugu Feng understood his intentions. "King of Slaughter, don't bring trouble upon yourself!"
In an instant, Dugu Feng displayed the strength of a Soul Douluo, with three Red Soul Rings pulsating rhythmically around him.
This made the King of Slaughter's bat-like heart twitch violently.
Damn, three 100,000-Year Soul Rings! You truly live up to the name Poison Demon King!
Did you raid a nest of 100,000-Year Soul Beasts? Are you this powerful? Does the Asura God know about this?
This might be the next Tang Chen. The King of Slaughter finally grew wary of Dugu Feng.
Perhaps Dugu Feng's threat was comparable to that of the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall.
But in the current situation, he no longer had time to ponder Dugu Feng's threat. Preserving his life was the priority.
"Ahem, Poison Demon King, what are you thinking? You are my most precious Guest Minister. How could I possibly attack you!"
Just moments ago, he had indeed considered possessing Dugu Feng. After all, Dugu Feng possessed astonishing talent and the Slaughter God Domain. Possessing him would be a seamless transition.
Unfortunately, Dugu Feng had seen through his intentions at a glance.
After speaking, the King of Slaughter immediately turned his attention elsewhere.
Outside the Hell Slaughter Arena, Xiong Ba stood there.
Xiong Ba had already cultivated to the level of a Titled Douluo, becoming the strongest person in Slaughter City aside from the King of Slaughter.
The King of Slaughter leaped into the air and landed in front of Xiong Ba.
"I pay my respects to the King of Slaughter and the Poison Demon King!"
Xiong Ba bowed in greeting. Earlier, he could only see the King of Slaughter and Dugu Feng conversing, but he had no way of perceiving what they were saying.
However, upon seeing the King of Slaughter's sinister gaze, he sensed that something was amiss.
"Didn't you say you were willing to sacrifice everything for me? Today is the day for your devotion!" the King of Slaughter coldly shouted.
Two streaks of blood-red light shot from his eyes, scattering in all directions and thickening the surrounding air. Xiong Ba was also immobilized.
Although Xiong Ba was a Titled Douluo, he could not use Soul Skills in Slaughter City and was further restricted by the special Magic-Sealing Domain.
Faced with the King of Slaughter, he had no power to resist.
The King of Slaughter spread his arms wide, stretching his cloak to its fullest extent, his face contorting into a ferocious and evil expression.
Cackle!
A blood-red, malevolent energy erupted from the King of Slaughter's entire body.
The most noticeable change was his cloak, which gradually transformed into two enormous wings.
Covering the wings were dense, blood-red patterns, with countless streams of blood flowing within them.
This was the King of Slaughter's core energy.
Like a molting shell, all his blood energy converged onto the wings.
"Screech!"
Finally, in an instant, the entire wings, carrying a mass of blood-red energy, detached from his body and surged toward Xiong Ba.
Dugu Feng saw clearly that the crimson energy mass was a sharp, ferocious bat head.
All nine heads were screaming. The King of Slaughter instantly absorbed the purest energy onto his wings, leaving all the toxins for Tang Chen.
In this way, he rid himself of the Blood-Colored Swan's Kiss.
On the verge of escaping that sensation of scorching everything, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King was extremely agitated.
Xiong Ba was in his prime, having cultivated to the level of a Titled Douluo—his talent was truly remarkable.
