Chapter 163 One Year, Death!
Following Hu Liena, the two arrived at a secluded corner of the inner city.
After several turns, Hu Liena led Qin Mu to an inconspicuous, dilapidated house.
Pushing open the door, the entire room was laid out before them, about twenty square meters in size, with nothing else besides a bed and a table.
The room was clean and tidy, with a faint fragrance in the air, matching the scent on Hu Liena.
However, due to the dim lighting and the numerous cracks and damages on the walls, it appeared rather rudimentary.
"This is my house. If you don't mind, the two of us can squeeze in here for now."
The bed in the room was big enough for Hu Liena, but it felt a bit cramped if Qin Mu were to join her.
They would probably have to press their bodies tightly together when they slept.
Thinking of this, a blush immediately appeared on Hu Liena's face.
However, due to the dim lighting in the room, Qin Mu did not notice the abnormality in Hu Liena's expression.
"Get into bed first, I'll help you treat your wound."
"Not good."
Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, Hu Liena instinctively prepared to refuse, but for some reason, she didn't say the words of refusal. Instead, she obediently nodded.
Obeying Qin Mu's words, Hu Liena obediently lay down on the bed, took off her black outer clothes, revealing her close-fitting pink undergarments.
Qin Mu's gaze immediately fell on Hu Liena, and his hand, which was originally holding the medicine, froze on the spot.
Hu Liena's pink top only covered her full, rounded breasts, leaving her slender, white waist exposed to the air.
Hu Liena was only wearing a matching pink tight-fitting shorts, which outlined her equally pert buttocks, while her pair of long, snow-white, and rounded legs were tightly squeezed together and rubbing back and forth.
The room was dimly lit, but the erotic scene before him was clearly visible.
Now that Qin Mu was a virgin, he was momentarily unable to resist such a tempting scene. As his body reacted, he didn't know what to do.
"Weren't you going to help me apply the medicine? Hurry up! The wound will be healed in no time!"
Seeing Qin Mu's shy and flustered appearance, Hu Liena's own shyness faded, and she spoke to Qin Mu frankly.
Hearing Hu Liena's urging, Qin Mu finally realized what was happening.
Since Hu Liena, a young girl, had said so, there was no reason for him to keep being so wishy-washy.
Anyway, he wouldn't lose out!
With this thought in mind, Qin Mu sat down by the bed, took out some medicine powder and water for treating external injuries, and treated Hu Liena's wounds one by one.
Hu Liena's injuries this time were not serious; they were just some superficial wounds that would heal on their own without much intervention.
However, both of them wisely refrained from pointing it out.
After a brief exchange, it was learned that Hu Liena had only arrived in the Killing City yesterday. After a one-day protection period, Hu Liena chose to enter the Hell Slaughter Arena for training.
Because Hu Liena was led by Bibi Dong and took a special passage, she did not run into Qin Mu.
"Qin Mu, am I a little too weak?"
"Even though it was the same day of the competition, I won with such difficulty, while you won so easily."
Hu Liena curled up her other leg, rested her chin on her knee, and watched Qin Mu apply the powder evenly to her calf. She then asked Qin Mu a question out of the blue.
"There's no need to be so self-deprecating. It just means you had a bit of bad luck today."
"The last opponent you defeated was a powerful eight-ring Soul Douluo, and a strong offensive Spirit Master who excelled in one-on-one combat."
"Your ability to kill him with your current strength has exceeded my expectations."
"But I'm quite lucky today; the strongest among those people is only a Soul Emperor."
"So the gap between us isn't as big as you think."
"You played very well!"
After treating the last wound on Hu Liena's body, Qin Mu looked up and gave her an encouraging smile.
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena suddenly looked up and saw Qin Mu's encouraging gaze. Her previous disappointment vanished, replaced by immense motivation.
After comforting Hu Liena for a few more minutes, Hu Liena's worries disappeared, and she gave Qin Mu a bright and happy smile.
Of course, Qin Mu's words were mostly meant to comfort Hu Liena.
As for the truth, only he himself knew.
After that, their lives became somewhat dull and boring.
They usually squeezed together in this cramped room. Occasionally, Qin Mu would give Hu Liena some pointers on close combat techniques, but the rest of the time he would be immersed in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
To avoid being matched in the same game, the two would come to the Hell Slaughter Arena together, but the other would only register after one of them had stood on the stage.
In just one year, both reached fifty wins.
This speed wasn't considered fast, but it wasn't because Qin Mu or Hu Liena were weak, nor was it because Qin Mu's cultivation speed was slow.
The main reason was that no one dared to fight the two of them!
On his first day at the Hell Slaughter Arena, Qin Mu killed twenty or thirty people, almost as if he were deliberately provoking them.
As soon as the news spread, experts from the Killing City flocked to the scene, all eager to challenge this newcomer.
As a result, Qin Mu only participated in three matches in just three days.
After three matches, Qin Mu only killed twenty-seven people.
But offstage, Qin Mu killed over five hundred people.
This was just Qin Mu's rough estimate.
At first, after seeing how powerful Qin Mu was, these people seemed to regard him as a boss in a game, and everyone wanted to ambush him and take his life so that they could take the opportunity to show off their power.
Unfortunately, Qin Mu did not grant these people's wishes.
No matter when, where, or what the circumstances, if anyone dared to ambush Qin Mu, there was only one outcome for them.
Die!
Qin Mu desperately wanted these people to stand on the competition stage and fight against him, so that he could rack up a lot of victories.
But these people clearly wouldn't listen to Qin Mu's advice.
They wouldn't participate in any matches, but they would never miss a single one of their sneak attack plans.
In the ten days since Qin Mu arrived, the number of lives he had taken had exceeded four figures.
Only then did these people gradually realize just how terrifying their target truly was!
Later, the number of people who ambushed Qin Mu decreased significantly, but correspondingly, the number of people who competed against Qin Mu also decreased significantly.
Upon hearing that their opponents possessed this ruthless killer, those who had already registered immediately withdrew, while those who were preparing to register quickly hid in the corners of the stands.
Everyone was waiting to see if any unlucky soul would be willing to compete against Qin Mu.
After all, countless powerful figures of considerable stature couldn't kill Qin Mu even when ambushed; how could they possibly have a chance in a head-on battle?!
That was why, after only thirty or forty victories, Qin Mu earned a terrifying nickname in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
