Chapter 246: Resurrection from the Dead

But just at this moment! Ning Feiliu was suddenly struck by a flash of inspiration; it was the sense of premonition brought by the Heart-Eye Sword, the peerless sword technique of the weapon master Jax combined with Fervent Sword Fiora!

"Xue Di!" Without a second word, he summoned Xue Di directly!

At this moment, hearing his call, Xue Di appeared before him without the slightest hesitation.

A biting blizzard immediately began to howl, then tore through the rampaging tide of blood! Just then, the voice of the Slaughter King came, "As expected, you are not that Slaughter God's student."

Xue Di was still guarding Ning Feiliu at this time, though she seemed vaguely constrained.

"A-Liu, I am suppressed here and cannot exert much of my strength," she said, her consciousness linked with Ning Feiliu's.

Ning Feiliu frowned, gritting his teeth slightly.

He believed he shouldn't have revealed any flaws.

How could the Slaughter King have seen through his lie? Yet, the Slaughter King had indeed seen no flaws in him from start to finish.

It was just... he hadn't been one hundred percent certain that Ning Feiliu was Tang Hao's student.

After all, if Ning Feiliu really were Tang Hao's student, and Tang Hao knew what kind of place this was, how could he not have come to give a heads-up in advance? Since he hadn't seen Tang Hao come to say so in person, he naturally wouldn't believe it completely.

And in a state of disbelief, he still did not want another Slaughter God to emerge.

After all, every additional Slaughter God was equivalent to one more blade hanging over Slaughter City.

The blade might not fall, or it might fall, but it was uncomfortable nonetheless.

And...

In the eyes of the Slaughter King, if Ning Feiliu truly became the third blade hanging over Slaughter City.

Then he would be far more dangerous than the two blades of Tang Hao and Bibi Dong!

So what he chose was... to bluff Ning Feiliu!

Ning Feiliu was still wondering why the Slaughter King could guess that he was not Tang Hao's student.

The Slaughter King sneered again and said, "You really are not that Slaughter God's student, so why don't you just stay here forever?"

Ning Feiliu took a deep breath, but he was not intimidated by the Slaughter King.

Instead...

He snorted coldly and said, "Are you sure you can withstand my teacher's wrath? You should know that my teacher possesses the Slaughter God Domain and could easily destroy your Slaughter City."

Seeing Ning Feiliu's firm demeanor, the Slaughter King lost his confidence again.

He had originally just been bluffing Ning Feiliu.

But now it seemed... could it really be true? The tide of blood around the Slaughter King visibly receded.

And just when Ning Feiliu thought he had escaped a disaster...

"Die!" The Slaughter King suddenly erupted, the tide of blood on his body transforming into a terrifying energy wave about to strike Ning Feiliu.

With his full-force strike, the power of this move felt as if it could destroy the heavens and the earth.

Moreover, his attack carried a terrifying, mottled killing intent.

Even a battle-hardened Spirit Master would be stunned on the spot and unable to react when faced with such terrifying killing intent.

However, Ning Feiliu desperately suppressed the fear in his heart for the Slaughter King's mottled killing intent, then rolled to the other side! At the same time, Xue Di condensed a sharp frost longsword in her hand! "Emperor Sword: Ice Extreme Peerless!"

She brandished the Emperor Sword in her hand, intending to block the Slaughter King's attack!

However... here in Slaughter City, although she could appear and exert power.

This was a place of gods, and existences below the god level were all subject to its restrictions.

Therefore, she could not block this attack from the Slaughter King at all, and the next moment...

She was knocked back by the terrifying torrent of blood, and the torrent happened to strike the ground where Ning Feiliu had dodged.

Instantly, this Hell Slaughter Arena erupted with a terrifying, violent tremor, and the aftermath of the explosion engulfed Ning Feiliu and Xue Di.

Then they fell directly into the Hell Road below.

However... Ning Feiliu and Xue Di were not so lucky; they did not happen to land on the narrow Hell Road, but fell into the boundless sea of blood below! Seeing Ning Feiliu fall into the sea of blood, the Slaughter King's eyes flickered.

After thinking it over, he still felt... he could not let Ning Feiliu become a new Slaughter God just like that.

After all, Ning Feiliu was so powerful, and for some reason, there was actually a powerful existence residing within him?

So his threat was far greater than that of Tang Hao and Bibi Dong.

Even if Ning Feiliu really were Tang Hao's student, he would risk offending Tang Hao to wipe him out.

After all... the offense had already reached this point.

Ning Feiliu would definitely hold a grudge against him after getting out, so there were only two choices.

Risk offending Tang Hao to completely wipe out Ning Feiliu.

Or, to avoid offending the potentially offended Tang Hao, allow Ning Feiliu—who already held a grudge against him and was stronger than Tang Hao and Bibi Dong—to become a Slaughter God.

So the Slaughter King chose to wipe out Ning Feiliu directly.

But if Ning Feiliu knew that the Slaughter King had attacked him because of such an absurd, illogical train of thought.

He would probably be dumbfounded.

I mean, you weren't sure at first, so you had to probe.

After probing, you were afraid I would hate you, so you decided to kill me to silence me.

Then why didn't you just kill me to silence me from the start?

However, the Slaughter King's brain was clearly not quite normal; under the possession of the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King, he didn't even know who he was, so hoping his brain was normal...

... was indeed not a normal thing.

And seeing Ning Feiliu hit by his attack and fall into the sea of blood below, the Slaughter King nodded with satisfaction.

In that pool of blood, there was no possibility of Ning Feiliu being alive.

Because he truly could not sense any life aura from Ning Feiliu.

So he then safely closed the entrance to the Hell Road.

……

And within that boundless sea of blood.

It was indeed just as the King of Slaughter had thought; Ning Feiliu was already dead.

Even with the protection of Xue Di, he had been caught in the aftermath of the King of Slaughter's full-force strike.

Then, falling from the high altitude into the sea of blood, Ning Feiliu's internal organs were all shattered on the spot, and he perished.

And his corpse just sank like that into the sea of blood, sinking and sinking, sinking and sinking.

Yet it had not yet reached the bottom of the sea of blood.

At this moment, Ning Feiliu did not realize that he was actually already dead; he only felt as if he had suddenly broken free from his restraints.

He felt his body become so light, as if he were about to fly.

However, just at this moment……

"A-Liu…… A-Liu……"

Such a familiar voice……

Who is it? Is someone calling him? Gradually, he heard other voices too.

"Aphelios…… Aphelios……"

"Brother…… Brother……"

"Mortal…… stand up!"

"A-Liu…… don't die!"

"Little Feiliu!!!"

……

"I cannot die!" Ning Feiliu suddenly opened his eyes; now his Spirit Soul had detached from his body and was hovering above it.

Yet an undying will reignited his Spirit Soul like a flame.

At the same time, even his already dead body actually began to move following his intent.

Ning Feiliu's body…… grasped the Crescent Moon King Sword in his hand, and…… the incomplete Revitalization Rune within his body emerged at this moment, trying with all its might to repair his already cold body! Still missing…… the last bit…… the last bit! He cannot die here! "With my soul severed, I defy the gods and scorn death! With my life lost, I exchange death for life! (Ouchen Language)" Ning Feiliu's Spirit Soul shouted the forbidden incantation that blasphemed death! The next moment, in front of him, the Ouchen Language formed a profound, dark green magic array, and the incomplete Revitalization Rune fell into the array.

Then, green light instantly enveloped Ning Feiliu's Spirit Soul and corpse, as well as the Crescent Moon King Sword currently in his hand! Immediately following, this boundless sea of blood beneath Slaughter City spiraled and poured into Ning Feiliu's body! I do not know how much time passed.

Until…… the entire ocean-like pool of blood had visibly decreased by one-third!

Ning Feiliu, still in the sea of blood, finally opened his eyes! "Hoo—hoo!" He opened his mouth in terror, greedily breathing in every mouthful of air.

He…… was resurrected.

From within death, blaspheming life and death, he was resurrected once again.

Only those who have lost something know its true value; he had once lost his life.

Now, he had finally returned from death once again and possessed life.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu now enjoyed this hard-won feeling of breathing immensely.

This was simply…… too wonderful, far more wonderful than drinking any fine wine or any beverage!

After fully savoring the pleasure of breathing, Ning Feiliu then called out to Xue Di, "Xue Di."

Xue Di appeared once again at this moment; she looked at the resurrected Ning Feiliu and finally let out a sigh of relief.

"You are alright…… that is truly great."

She had, after all, signed a Soul Contract with Ning Feiliu.

If Ning Feiliu died, she would have to be buried with him.

And fortunately, Ning Feiliu, for some reason, after he died and the Soul Contract was about to take effect.

It did not take effect after all.

Instead, suddenly, Ning Feiliu's Spirit Soul floated out, followed by a series of operations that Xue Di could not understand.

And then, Ning Feiliu was resurrected.

"Mm…… in short, it was a close call." Ning Feiliu also let out a sigh of relief.

Then, he thought of the King of Slaughter who had intended to kill him and caused him to die once, and he felt a deep, gnawing hatred.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his heart……

And that was to return and settle the score with the King of Slaughter once he became stronger in the future! This Slaughter City could remain, but the King of Slaughter must die!

This time, it was not the original owner who was killed, but him!

This grievance, Ning Feiliu naturally could not endure at all.

"King of Slaughter…… Tang Chen……" he said coldly.

However, for the current plan……

"Let us get out of here first," Ning Feiliu said, restraining the murderous intent in his eyes.

The most important thing now was to leave this Hell Road first, and then he could……

Complete the mission and obtain that powerful Keystone Rune of Dark Harvest.

By then, it would not be too late to return and settle the score with the King of Slaughter!

"Alright, which way do we go?" Xue Di nodded immediately and asked.

"Climb up there, that Hell Road," Ning Feiliu said.

"Xue Di, you can condense an ice ladder here, right?" he said to Xue Di again.

"It should be no problem, and I feel that I am no longer suppressed here," Xue Di said immediately.

"That is good," Ning Feiliu smiled happily.

However, to condense an ice ladder here, using a liquid medium would be faster.

Ning Feiliu naturally thought of the pool of blood beneath him.

So he immediately wanted to use the Crescent Moon King Sword to raise up waves of a blood sea.

Then Xue Di manipulated the power of ice and snow to freeze it, freezing it into a frozen blood ladder.

However, just at this moment...

"Huh?" Ning Feiliu stared blankly at the "Crescent Moon King Sword" in his hand.

Yet at this moment, the "Crescent Moon King Sword" in his hand, which should have been pale gold, had turned into a greenish long Sword.

Because the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon was originally forged by imitating the style of the Ruined King Sword.

So all of a sudden, it looked just like that Ruined King Sword!

And...

Ning Feiliu swung the Ruined King Sword, and thick black mist really did roll out from within it.

"This..." he said incredulously, "Could it be... just because the Crescent Moon King Sword was resurrected along with me, it became the Ruined King Sword, just like Viego's backstory?"

Just at this moment, he also discovered that there were originally two Runes inside his body.

One was a complete Calm Rune, and one was an incomplete Revitalization Rune.

And now that incomplete Revitalization Rune is gone! So Atreus's Indomitable Will + Revitalization Rune + Crescent Moon King Sword + Resurrection Forbidden Spell, directly turned into the Ruined King Sword?

Moreover, Ning Feiliu felt that after it became the Ruined King Sword, its power was actually even stronger.

He also had the summoning of black mist and...

"Serve me! (Ouchen Language)" He swung the Ruined King Sword, rolling black mist surged out, and then within the black mist... appeared hundreds and thousands of fierce Spirit Souls.

They were all Fallen Ones who died here in the Slaughter City.

And now they would all be used by Ning Feiliu.

The ability to drive the undead! "Forget it, I'll try again when I get out." Ning Feiliu shook his head and said.

Then he and Xue Di followed the plan and climbed up the Hell Road.

During this time, he indeed encountered the Dark Gold Bat Group and the Dark Gold Nine-Headed Bat, as well as the Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake behind them.

With Xue Di, plus the fact that Ning Feiliu could now manipulate the undead with the Ruined King Sword, these Exotic Beasts could naturally only be finished off.

Ning Feiliu obtained two types of Exotic Beast Essence Blood, and also one Ten-Headed Fierce Sun Snake Inner Core.

Next, he continued to climb, and continued to climb, finally seeing a white screen of light at the end.

In an instant, he rushed into the white screen of light!

When rushing into the white light screen, everything around seemed to be changing, and Ning Feiliu suddenly felt as if his body had entered a special world.

All around was a snow-white void, and all his power seemed to have been compressed inside.

In this vast white world, Ning Feiliu could not use a shred of power throughout his body.

The only feeling was coldness.

It was as if countless coldness were condensing toward him, and countless coldness were being released from within his body.

In this white void, Ning Feiliu felt a different kind of pain.

The cold feeling that shouldn't have appeared still appeared; that was not a real change in temperature, but a chill brought by killing intent.

The purest Slaughter Qi rapidly invaded Ning Feiliu's body, and every time it invaded, it made Ning Feiliu tremble.

But just at the ninth time, suddenly that cold killing intent seemed to change.

It turned into a coldness that penetrated the Spirit Soul! When that coldness made his heart gradually stiffen, his perception also began to quietly drift away along with his consciousness.

He did not know how much time had passed, when Ning Feiliu regained his perception.

All the pain had disappeared, and only a feeling of comfort throughout his body, familiar soul power fluctuations, and the sensation of soul skills were once again permeating his body.

Ning Feiliu stood up immediately and looked at the surrounding environment.

He had successfully come out!

He had finally successfully come out of the Slaughter City! And just at this moment...

That line of familiar small characters appeared before Ning Feiliu's eyes—

【Obtained the "Slaughter God" title, and left your own legend in the Slaughter City, obtained the "Samsara Domain" and the Keystone Rune "Dark Harvest".】

Then the small characters shattered, turning into unique power that poured into his body.
