Chapter 36: Chaos in the City of Slaughter
"It won't happen. Whether it's the Sea God or the Thunder God, none of those gods would dare to openly intervene in the affairs of the mortal realm and make a move against me," Ye Wen said confidently.
"If the Thunder God knows, then the Sea God would have likely acted against me long ago," Ye Wen shook his head with a smile, completely certain of this.
Xie Hu and Xiao Bai exchanged glances, feeling reassured.
"Alright, I should get some proper rest. As for those immortal herbs, we'll absorb them once our levels reach the second ring," Ye Wen said, shifting the topic.
"Got it."
The three of them sat in the carriage, heading towards the City of Slaughter.
Now, Ye Wen was at level 16, Xie Hu and Xiao Bai at level 15. The Eight-Spoked Ice Grass and the Fierce Fire Apricot were herbs to enhance the body, so absorbing them now wasn't an issue.
But those herbs that helped improve their soul power and qualifications would be wasted if they were absorbed now.
Because, it was possible that they could gain 6 or 7 levels in an instant, and even though soul beasts didn't need to obtain soul rings, they still needed to condense them before continuing their advancement. So, they had to wait.
Soon, after nearly half a month of travel, as they neared the City of Slaughter, Ye Wen's soul power broke through to level 17, and Xie Hu and Xiao Bai reached level 16.
At this point, they had arrived at the black town, the entrance to the City of Slaughter.
"Let's go," Ye Wen said as he led Xie Hu and Xiao Bai into the town and toward a tavern, which served as one of the entrances to the City of Slaughter.
To enter the City of Slaughter, the basic requirement was to drink a Bloody Mary, also known as the "Yellow Springs Dew," which was made from human blood. Naturally, Ye Wen wasn't interested in that.
So, he had no intention of drinking and decided to enter by force.
"Xie Hu, break the ground here," Ye Wen pointed at the floor as soon as they entered, knowing the entrance was here.
"Wait! What do you want?!"
The next moment, Xie Hu punched the ground, and the floor shattered, revealing a passage.
The staff member was stunned by the terrifying power, clearly frightened, and said, "You... you... this behavior breaks the rules of the City of Slaughter! You will be punished!"
"Punished? Let it come. Let's go!" Ye Wen wasn't afraid at all. He led Xie Hu and Xiao Bai into the passage.
"Yes!"
A few seconds later, an unstable spatial vortex appeared in midair, and the three of them appeared, landing in a different realm—the space where the City of Slaughter existed.
Xiao Bai looked around with curiosity.
Before them stood a massive city surrounded by high walls. They stood on a bridge outside the city gates.
The gate and the sides were filled with soldiers clad in black armor.
There was no day or night here, only the red moon in the sky illuminating the red night.
The entire space was filled with a murderous aura and a bloody scent.
"This is the City of Slaughter? It's really unsettling," Xiao Bai frowned, not liking the environment.
Xie Hu, however, was excited. "I think this place suits me just fine."
Ye Wen spoke, "The City of Slaughter was created by the Asura God, one of the most powerful gods in the divine realm. It's an independent space where the Asura God selects his successors."
"It's cut off from the world. You can only enter, not leave. Unless you win 100 battles in the Hell Slaughter Arena, and then pass the Hell Road to gain the title of Slaughter God and enter the Slaughter God's domain at will."
"This place is a paradise of evil. Killing is not prohibited here. You can do whatever you want, but first, you must have enough strength."
"We're not here to kill. We're here to take down the Slaughter King and get through the Hell Road to leave."
"Boss, what's your plan?" Xie Hu and Xiao Bai asked.
Ye Wen smiled slightly. "Hehe, how about we cause some chaos in the City of Slaughter?"
Xie Hu's eyes lit up. "Boss, you want to draw out the Slaughter King this way?"
"Exactly! This is the fastest way I can think of."
Their half-human forms had time limits on land, and they didn't have time to go slow. They had to act quickly to capture the Nine-Headed Bat King, which was parasitizing Tang Chen's body, also known as the Slaughter King, during the time they could stay in their half-human form.
Xie Hu became excited. "Alright, Boss! Let's begin! Let's make some noise in the City of Slaughter!"
In the City of Slaughter, soul ring-based soul techniques couldn't be used, but soul power, martial spirits, and soul bone skills were still allowed.
For human soul masters, their abilities would be greatly restricted here, but for soul beasts, it made no difference because their abilities didn't rely on soul rings!
Suddenly, a knight on horseback appeared before Ye Wen and his companions.
The knight was imposing and looked incredibly formidable, sitting high on his warhorse, glaring down at them. He said, "I am the Terrifying Knight Scott. You've broken the rules of the City of Slaughter. Defeat me, and you will gain the right to enter the City of Slaughter."
After speaking, the Terrifying Knight drew his sword and rode towards them.
However, Ye Wen and the others didn't pay him any attention, simply passing by him without a care.
Terrifying Knight: ??????
Didn't I say that you had to defeat me to get in?
Don't you understand?
What are you doing barging in like this?
Are you crazy? This is the City of Slaughter!
The Terrifying Knight turned around in confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ye Wen turned around and replied, "Of course, we're barging into the City of Slaughter."
Terrifying Knight:
"Sigh, how ignorant and foolish," the Terrifying Knight shook his head in disbelief, casually waving his hand. "Kill them."
"Understood!"
Immediately, hundreds of knights charged toward them.
But the next second...
"Demon Whale Raging Slash!"
"Devil Whale Evil Axe!"
"Demon Shark's Tooth!"
Slash! Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Aahhh!!!"
In an instant, various screams rang out as over half of the soldiers were sent flying by Ye Wen and his companions' skills, lying on the ground, half-dead.
"Damn."
"How... how is this possible?!"
The Terrifying Knight opened his mouth in shock, completely stunned in place.
What's going on?
They're so strong, and they can just defeat me and get in so easily!
Why are they still barging in?
He couldn't understand, but there was no time to think. He shouted urgently, "Stop them! We can't let them break into the City of Slaughter!"
"For the last thousand years, no one has ever barged into the City of Slaughter!"
"If we let them in, what face will the City of Slaughter have left?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Stop them!!"
The remaining soldiers charged again.
"You won't stop us," Ye Wen smiled and, in the next second, released a terrifying energy. "Deep Sea Demon Whale Wave!"
