Chapter 270: The Powerful King of Slaughter
As expected, after Yang Xiong's words fell, a figure gradually stepped out from the shadows.
This person appeared to be very tall, exuding an extremely terrifying aura of slaughter. He wore a massive scarlet cloak, and behind him were two enormous wings. Especially notable was his pale face and blood-red eyes.
This person was the King of Slaughter. Upon closer inspection, his face was covered in dense, intricate demonic patterns, somewhat similar to how Yang Xiong had appeared when he refined his body in the Blood River.
The King of Slaughter clapped his hands. "Long time no see. I never thought that a little Soul King back then would have reached such a level of power so quickly. It seems you've had quite a few opportunities these years."
Yang Xiong smiled. "No matter how I compare, I can't surpass you, the King of Slaughter. In the City of Slaughter, you are indeed incredibly strong, even to the point of being the ruler of everyone."
After Yang Xiong had used the Slaughter Domain, he began to understand how the King of Slaughter had granted ordinary soul masters the ability to use their soul skills. It was probably similar to attaching the Slaughter God Domain to people, thus allowing them to use soul skills in the City of Slaughter.
The King of Slaughter chuckled. "Slaughter God, you wouldn't come here without a purpose. What brings you to the City of Slaughter this time? It can't be just for your friend Yang Wudi to meet me, right?"
Yang Xiong sneered. "You've got it wrong. It's actually my senior, Yang Wudi, who wants to meet you. He has something he wants to ask you."
The King of Slaughter looked at Yang Wudi with some interest. "I never expected the Break One Clan to have a Title Douluo. But in front of me, Title Douluos are like ants. What does he want to meet me for?"
Yang Wudi stared at the King of Slaughter, his eyes filled with hatred. "King of Slaughter, I'm not here for you. I'm here to find an old acquaintance of mine."
The King of Slaughter laughed. "I've lived in the City of Slaughter for so many years. How could I have any old acquaintances? Even if I did, they certainly wouldn't be someone like you."
After saying that, the King of Slaughter's body emitted a series of blood-red lights, as if trying to pierce through Yang Wudi's defenses.
Yang Xiong immediately stood in front of Yang Wudi, also releasing a red aura from his body. The two auras collided in the air, seemingly dividing the surrounding environment in half.
The King of Slaughter's expression darkened. "Interesting. Slaughter God, I didn't expect that your domain has changed over the years. But your strength is still too weak. You're not even a Title Douluo yet."
Yang Xiong sneered. "Whether or not I'm a Title Douluo doesn't matter. What matters is who you really are. Are you the King of Slaughter or Tang Chen, or something else?"
The King of Slaughter instantly flew into a rage. "Slaughter God, do you think that because your domain has evolved, you can challenge me? Killing you would be as easy as crushing an ant!"
Yang Xiong shook his head. "Don't be so angry. I actually want to ask you two other things. Is the Shura Demon Sword still easy for you to use? Or have you, after spending so many years in Tang Chen's body, truly started to think of yourself as human?"
The King of Slaughter's expression twisted with anger. "Slaughter God, you shouldn't have provoked me. I am the ruler of the City of Slaughter. This is my world. You've learned things you shouldn't have."
Yang Xiong smiled. "Then let's see who's stronger. Especially whose domain is stronger."
With that, both of them unleashed their red auras, and the entire space seemed to be drenched in blood. Yang Xiong's figure glowed with a golden hue, tinged with red, like a demonic god.
As their domains clashed, three figures suddenly shot out from the door Yang Xiong had entered earlier, swiftly surrounding the King of Slaughter in a triangular formation, cutting off his escape route.
The King of Slaughter was taken aback, never expecting so many powerful figures to suddenly emerge from the City of Slaughter. Especially Tang Hao, whose body also emanated a blood-red glow, enveloping both Sword Douluo and Tang Xiao.
Within the red light, Tang Xiao, Sword Douluo, Tang Hao, and Yang Wudi all released their martial souls and soul rings.
The King of Slaughter's face twisted into a snarl. "Yang Xiong, what are you trying to do? Do you think you can take me on with just a few ants?"
Yang Xiong smiled. "We might not be able to deal with Tang Chen, but we can certainly handle a bat, especially one that only knows how to parasitize."
The King of Slaughter roared with fury and rushed toward Yang Xiong. Even a simple strike seemed to shake the entire space.
But before the King of Slaughter could reach Yang Xiong, the four others attacked.
Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, wielding their enormous Haotian Hammers, struck with all their might toward the King of Slaughter. Sword Douluo, with the Seven Killing Sword in hand, unleashed countless sword energies, as if trying to split the entire domain apart.
Especially Sword Douluo, whose body emitted a brilliant blue light, the essence of his Seven Killing Domain. With Yang Xiong's Slaughter Domain supporting it, the Seven Killing Domain became even more powerful and violent.
Yang Wudi, holding the Broken Soul Spear, quickly targeted other enemies, including Ghost Tiger Douluo and Black Snake Douluo.
The King of Slaughter sneered and slapped his hand, releasing an endless blood-red light that withstood the attacks of Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Sword Douluo.
Even though Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and Sword Douluo were top-tier experts, when they truly collided with the King of Slaughter, the terrifying force was overwhelming.
Even the Haotian Hammer's immense power and the Seven Killing Sword's powerful sword energy were immediately pushed back, as if there were an insurmountable difference in power.
Yang Xiong stayed in place, primarily using the Slaughter Domain to wrap around all the people at the scene, while also using his domain to contend with the King of Slaughter's.
Tang Xiao and the others exchanged a glance and quickly attacked the King of Slaughter again.
Initially, they had hesitated to strike too hard, given that the King of Slaughter was Tang Chen's original body. If they went too far, they might hurt Tang Chen.
But given the current situation, the King of Slaughter's power was far stronger than they had imagined. If they didn't give it their all, they might all die here.
After several minutes of intense battle, the ground of the City of Slaughter seemed to shake with each clash.
Although Yang Xiong's Slaughter Domain was able to contest the King of Slaughter's domain, the King of Slaughter now had the body of a Limit Douluo. Compared to Tang Xiao and Sword Douluo at level 97, and Tang Hao at level 95, the King of Slaughter was clearly overwhelming them.
Yang Xiong had long prepared. Everyone followed the plan and attacked the King of Slaughter with full force. Only by forcing the King of Slaughter to use his full power could they find a way to suppress the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King and ultimately awaken Tang Chen.
At this moment, the King of Slaughter was enraged. How dare so many people barge into the City of Slaughter and attack him, as if they didn't take him seriously.
The King of Slaughter roared, and blood-red waves of light erupted from his body. The blood light not only contained powerful corrosive force, but also had some special energy.
Under the effect of this energy, Tang Hao's Slaughter God Domain seemed to be completely suppressed. Even Yang Xiong's Slaughter Domain appeared to encounter a strong adversary. After all, the King of Slaughter was a 99th-level Limit Douluo, while Yang Xiong was only a 90th-level quasi-Title Douluo.
The air seemed to explode, and even Sword Douluo's Seven Killing Domain and Tang Hao's Slaughter God Domain seemed to lose control for a moment.
Yang Xiong's mouth bled slightly. It seemed the King of Slaughter had pushed the Slaughter Domain to its absolute limit.
The King of Slaughter laughed madly. "Yang Xiong, Tang Hao, you may have the Slaughter God Domain, and Yang Xiong, you even have the Slaughter Domain, but my Slaughter Domain is far stronger than yours. Especially here, in the City of Slaughter, the Slaughter Domain is the most tyrannical domain in the world. What gives you the right to stop me?"
Even though the King of Slaughter was surrounded by three people, he still seemed unbothered and even countered their attacks with ease.
Yang Xiong realized the situation wasn't looking good. Gritting his teeth, he activated his seventh soul ring.
Suddenly, a blood-red figure enveloped Yang Xiong, and his originally golden body was now covered with magical patterns. Blood-red rings began to emanate from him.
As the blood-red auras of both Yang Xiong and the King of Slaughter collided in the air, the King of Slaughter seemed to be suppressed by Yang Xiong's domain.
Yang Xiong had activated his seventh soul skill, the True Body of Shura. Under this form, not only could he unleash the full potential of his Slaughter Domain, but he also possessed some special energy. This energy seemed to come not just from Yang Xiong himself, but also from the evolved source of his Shura Martial Soul.
The King of Slaughter was greatly shocked. He never expected that his Slaughter Domain could be suppressed in the City of Slaughter, especially by someone who wasn't even a Title Douluo.
Seeing the King of Slaughter's domain being suppressed by Yang Xiong, Sword Douluo, Tang Hao, and Tang Xiao redoubled their attacks. Despite the King of Slaughter's strength, the three-pronged attack from three different directions began to overwhelm him.
The King of Slaughter sneered. His wings, sharp as blades, quickly blocked the incoming attacks, and his hands were filled with endless strength.
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth and charged forward, joining Sword Douluo and the others in attacking the King of Slaughter.
The King of Slaughter was even stronger than Yang Xiong had imagined. Especially in the City of Slaughter, his strength had reached the level of a Limit Douluo.
Even though his physical constitution was terrifying, whenever Yang Xiong struck the King of Slaughter, it felt like hitting an incredibly hard rock. Even Yang Xiong's strength couldn't move him.
It seemed that the longer the battle went on, the stronger they became. Whether it was Tang Hao or Tang Xiao, they were demonstrating incredibly strong combat capabilities.
But the King of Slaughter was unfazed. His physical strength was truly at the level of a Limit Douluo, and the intensity of his power was terrifying.
At this point, everyone had used their martial souls and soul skills, but the King of Slaughter had yet to reveal his martial soul or soul rings. He had been battling purely with his body.
