Chapter 37: A Single Punch Shatters the City Gate of Slaughter, The Slaughter King Appears
A massive surge of energy formed a giant wave a hundred meters high and slammed forward.
"Damn... Damn!!"
"Ahh... ahhhh!!!"
The faces of all the soldiers were filled with indescribable fear. They were stunned, staring at the hundred-meter wave.
"No! No!!"
Whoosh!
Boom!!
With a single strike, hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground.
"Too terrifying! Too terrifying!"
"Who... who are they?!"
The Terrifying Knight was stunned, nearly falling off his warhorse in shock.
The trio had already arrived at the city gates. Xiao Bai glanced at the height of the walls and asked, "Boss? Should we climb over?"
"No need, you two step aside," Ye Wen said.
"Oh, okay."
Xie Hu and Xiao Bai stepped aside.
Ye Wen then rolled up his sleeves and stretched his muscles.
The Terrifying Knight widened his eyes. "What is he planning? He doesn't think he's going to break the city gate, does he? Has he gone mad?! That gate is made of the finest Xuan Iron; it's impossible to break with just one punch…"
Bang! Bang! Boom! Boom!
With a terrifying punch from Ye Wen, the giant front gate was instantly shattered. The entire iron gate collapsed and fell heavily to the ground.
"Damn!!!!"
"This isn't real! This isn't real! How can someone this strong exist?!"
The Terrifying Knight was thoroughly terrified, and all the soldiers on the ground gaped in disbelief at the scene.
Ye Wen clapped his hands casually and said, "The gate is indeed quite sturdy, but it needed a bit of force to break. Now, let's go inside."
"Mhm."
"A bit of force?!"
The three of them entered the City of Slaughter amidst the stunned gazes of those around them.
"The city gate was breached! The city gate was breached!"
"Requesting backup!!!"
"Three unknown powerful individuals broke through the city gate and entered the City of Slaughter!!!"
"Hurry, stop them!"
"Hurry! Notify the Slaughter King!!!"
At this moment, the City of Slaughter was thrown into complete chaos.
A large force from the City of Slaughter began rushing towards the city gate, intending to intercept Ye Wen and his companions.
Meanwhile, the Slaughter King was in a room, engaged in inappropriate activities with a veiled maid.
This veiled woman was the Slaughter King's most beloved servant, also known as his representative, the Slaughter King's emissary.
"King! You... you're so strong! Mmm~"
"Ha ha ha! How could I not be strong! Let me serve you properly!"
The Slaughter King chuckled, thoroughly enjoying himself.
At that moment, hurried voices of soldiers outside the door interrupted him. "King! Great Slaughter King! Something big has happened!!"
The Slaughter King's face twisted in displeasure. He was in the middle of something important, and he growled, "What's going on? Speak clearly, don't rush!"
"King! No! Don't stop your... actions on me," the veiled woman panted.
"Ha, don't worry," the Slaughter King said, glancing at her with a smile.
"King! Three unknown powerful individuals have forcefully broken into the City of Slaughter!" the soldier reported from outside.
"Oh? This has never happened in a thousand years. Someone dares to barge into the City of Slaughter? Heh, send someone to kill them. Why come to report to me?" The Slaughter King was somewhat surprised but unconcerned.
"They... they broke through the city gate and came in. Our large group is almost completely defeated by them!!"
"Their strength is beyond imagination!"
"What?!" The Slaughter King roughly shoved the veiled woman aside, his expression now showing urgency.
"Ahhh~ King, you're too rough…" The veiled woman grumbled, slightly hurt by his shove.
"Ridiculous! How could so many of you be stopped by just three people? Who are they? Could they be one of the Slaughter Gods?" The Slaughter King stormed out, no longer in a playful mood.
"They're not one of the Slaughter Gods. They didn't use soul skills but could still use a variety of powerful techniques. Our people couldn't resist at all, King!"
"Hmph! A bunch of useless fools. Do I have to personally deal with them?" The Slaughter King glanced around, then disappeared in an instant.
Moments later, he appeared in the sky, flapping his blood-red bat wings as he sped toward them.
Meanwhile, outside the City of Slaughter.
Hundreds to thousands of soldiers had already been knocked down by Ye Wen, Xie Hu, and Xiao Bai, with some dead and others severely injured.
"Boss, the Slaughter King should be here now," Xie Hu said, thoroughly enjoying himself. Since joining Ye Wen, he hadn't had such a fun battle in a while, and it made him very excited.
"He's already here." Ye Wen slowly turned around and looked into the distance, sensing the Slaughter King's aura rapidly approaching.
Sure enough, not long after, the Slaughter King's figure appeared in the distance, speeding toward them like a vampire.
Swoosh! Boom!
In the next second, the Slaughter King's body landed right in front of Ye Wen, Xie Hu, and Xiao Bai.
"It's you three who broke through the City of Slaughter's gates and beat my subordinates to this state!" The Slaughter King's body radiated evil killing intent, and his bloodthirsty aura made both Xie Hu and Xiao Bai feel a deep sense of fear.
Upon seeing the Slaughter King, Ye Wen's lips finally curled into a smile. "That's right, it's us."
"This is the Slaughter King? From the aura alone, even in my soul beast form, I don't think I could beat him," Xiao Bai's expression became serious.
Xie Hu nodded. "In my soul beast form, I probably can't defeat him either."
"Leave the Slaughter King to me. You two go deal with the other small fry." Ye Wen smiled faintly.
He knew very well that the Slaughter King was Tang Chen, at the peak of level 99, and he possessed the strength of a half-god.
However, the current Slaughter King, parasitized by the Nine-Headed Bat King, had greatly weakened, and didn't even possess the full strength of a 99th-level Title Douluo. At best, he had the strength of a 96th-level Title Douluo, and with the Nine-Headed Bat King in control, he couldn't use his divine weapon, the Asura Demon Sword.
(For clarity, this is explained from the original work, chapters 626 and 628. In the original, it was stated that the Slaughter King's strength was comparable to the Sea Dragon Douluo, who fought at the 96th-level. After losing control due to the Sea God Trident's influence, the Slaughter King's strength increased dramatically, restoring Tang Chen's power.)
Therefore, with Ye Wen's half-god strength, he could easily crush the Slaughter King, as long as the Nine-Headed Bat King still controlled Tang Hao's body. The Slaughter King was no match for him.
Ye Wen's power was not like the Sea God's Light, which could eliminate the Nine-Headed Bat King, as he intended to capture it instead.
"Good! You really have guts, huh? Do you know that this is the City of Slaughter? My kingdom!"
