Chapter 369: The Great Encirclement and Slaughter

Qin Jian's first match in the Hell Slaughter Arena has begun.

At this moment, even though he had already killed quite a few people, his reputation had not yet spread, so the people in the arena did not pay him too much attention; instead, they were all wary of one particular contestant who had already achieved seven victories.

Such a winning streak is already considered that of a powerhouse in a Slaughter Arena of their level.

Seeing that everyone had gone to besiege that person, Qin Jian happily followed along.

He didn't even summon his Silver Dragon Spear, just holding his martial soul sword, hacking and slashing behind these people, enjoying himself immensely.

"This guy, still as clever as ever..."

Outside the arena, Hu Liena covered her mouth and smiled, her heart put at ease.

"Little beauty, your man is doomed in his first match; why not follow me from now on? Big brother here guarantees your safety."

A burly extra appeared at this moment, clearly having come only after seeing Qin Jian enter the arena.

But Hu Liena's expression immediately turned icy, a short sword suddenly appeared in her hand, and she slashed horizontally with one hand.

"Shhh!"

That man had been on guard, but he hadn't expected Hu Liena to be so decisive; he only had time to block with his arm in front of him, and was immediately slashed open by the short sword, leaving a bloody gash.

"Puff!"

But before he could even scream or have time to counterattack, Hu Liena's short sword instantly reversed, slicing through his throat.

The corpse hit the ground, and soon someone came over to clean it up.

And the Fallen Ones who had originally been itching to make a move were also frightened, and for a time, no one came to disturb her again.

"Hah, a bunch of disgusting people, where do you get the courage to be mentioned in the same breath as him!"

Putting away her short sword, her gaze returned to the arena; the red glow in Hu Liena's eyes slowly faded, and her gaze following Qin Jian became soft once again.

In her eyes, every move that man made in the arena, even when dodging, seemed so handsome and attractive, so heart-stirring.

How could she bear to let anyone say a single bad word about him?

There wasn't so much grand passion, but it was in those many small, heart-fluttering moments of flirting, in his sincere treatment of her, that she fell in love and sank deep.

"No matter what..."

Hu Liena whispered to herself: "No matter what, I will never turn against you like Teacher did. What does a Million-Year Soul Ring matter, what does a precious soul bone matter? Compared to standing at the peak, what I care about more is being with you..."

She didn't have time to think for too long, because the situation in the arena had already changed.

After Qin Jian secretly struck from the shadows several times, that seven-win Fallen One still died in unwillingness.

What followed was a melee; Qin Jian casually found someone to fight fiercely with, holding out until only one person remained at the end.

"Kid, you're a newcomer, right? I've noticed you from the very beginning..."

The last man held a machete, looking as if victory was in his grasp: "Heh, being able to hide until now counts as having a bit of petty cleverness, but unfortunately, you can't win with cleverness, because only one person can leave this arena!"

"Idiot!"

Qin Jian appeared behind him with abnormal suddenness, the Silver Dragon Spear appeared in his hand, and one strike pierced through his chest.

"Uh... h-how could this be..."

A look of disbelief appeared on his face, but unfortunately, he would never know why Qin Jian was able to Teleport to his feet.

"Congratulations to Mr. 8868 for winning this match!"

The announcement spread outside the arena, and immediately, howls of sound rang out like thunder.

The martial soul sword at his feet, which had looked like an ordinary weapon that had been knocked away, was quietly put away by Qin Jian, and then he stood alone in the arena, as if enjoying the cheers of the crowd.

In reality, he was waiting for the Silver Dragon Spear to absorb the Spirit power, which required waiting for about ten breaths of time.

Ignoring the wild, chaotic cheers, Qin Jian finally walked off the stage.

"Mr. 8868, this is your residence pass for the coming year, please keep it safe."

A Black-Veiled Woman delivered the residence key, and Qin Jian looked at the address on it before putting it away.

"Nana, let's go, we have a place to stay."

Putting away the Silver Dragon Spear and slowly digesting the absorbed Spirit power, Qin Jian walked toward Hu Liena and embraced her as they left the Hell Slaughter Arena.

Many gazes were watching him sneakily, but Qin Jian walked straight out as if he hadn't noticed.

"The residence is actually arranged to be at the opposite end of the Hell Slaughter Arena; the ruler of this Slaughter City is truly ill-intentioned..."

Qin Jian and Hu Liena walked side by side in the chaotic Inner City, and for a while, no one was blind enough to attack.

"You mean..." Hu Liena said in a low voice.

Qin Jian's expression looked very relaxed, but a cautious look was spreading in the depths of his eyes: "Be careful, Nana, the road back to the residence won't be very peaceful..."

Hu Liena nodded solemnly and gripped the short sword in her hand tighter.

One after another, messy attacks came, all of which were blocked by her; Qin Jian did not intervene.

After walking for more than half an hour, the two finally saw the brightly lit complex of buildings ahead.

"It seems that is the residence in the Inner City..."

Hu Liena breathed a slight sigh of relief, but Qin Jian's body suddenly tensed, the Silver Dragon Spear appeared in his hand almost instantly, and streaks of spear light shot out like a drawn sword.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Countless figures rushed out from both sides of the road at this moment, and Qin Jian's spear light was dispersed and blocked by them, failing to take effect for a moment.

Hu Liena was startled and subconsciously blocked behind Qin Jian.

The two stood back-to-back, facing the nearly one hundred people—no, this time nearly two hundred people—gradually pouring out from both sides of the street.

"Nana, take my sword."

At this moment, a sword hilt was suddenly thrust into Hu Liena's palm; she was slightly startled and whispered: "Is this your martial soul?"

"Yes, hold onto it, there's no time to explain now."

Qin Jian held the long spear, his expression serious.

Hu Liena nodded slightly, ready for battle.

They all knew that the most brutal battle since coming to Slaughter City had arrived.

According to convention, the villain would always smugly spout some harsh words at this moment.

"Two fledglings, do you really think that just because we let you into the Hell Slaughter Arena, you are safe?"

Once again, a burly, thick-set man acted as the spokesperson, wearing a nauseating expression.

"You don't know yet, do you? For those participating in the Hell Slaughter Arena, the most dangerous part isn't the Slaughter Arena itself, but the road back to your residence after winning!"

The burly man brandished an axe and laughed loudly: "Today, your master will teach you a good lesson; if you're pretty, just obediently be everyone's plaything, otherwise you'll be targeted and besieged wherever you go!"

"Hahaha..."

For a moment, all the besiegers were laughing.

But Qin Jian and Hu Liena in the center of the arena did not move at all, merely watching all of this with indifferent expressions.

If they couldn't see them trembling in fear, what would be the point?

The laughter gradually became somewhat awkward and slowly faded away.

"Putting on an act, everyone attack! Catch them and have some fun!"

This time no one hesitated, because they knew Qin Jian had just gone through one Hell Slaughter Arena, so his state was definitely not at its peak, making this the best opportunity to besiege him.

"Attack."

Qin Jian gave a soft shout, his entire body leaping into the air as the Silver Dragon Spear bloomed with a brilliant silver flow...
