Chapter 117: Entering Slaughter City, Fooling the Newcomer?

At Lingxue Sacred Land, Qian Renxue's cultivation speed was even faster than at the Angel Temple; after all, there was a 10% cultivation speed bonus here.

As for the Angel Temple, if it weren't for the special scenes created by the Angel God's divine power, it would actually be about the same as an ordinary cultivation environment!

Returning to Lingxue Sacred Land was actually more advantageous, and Qian Renxue had wanted to come back and take a look for a long time.

Upon entering Lingxue Sacred Land, Lingxu and Qian Renxue also discovered many new faces.

However, these people were able to take the initiative to salute and pay respects to the Holy Master and Vice Saint Master upon seeing Lingxu and Qian Renxue, as if they had known them all along.

Later, they learned that during the time Lingxu and Qian Renxue were away, the first people anyone entering the Sacred Land had to recognize were Lingxu and Qian Renxue.

Everyone had to know who the masters of Lingxue Sacred Land were!

Although the two had changed a lot over this year or so, it was not difficult to recognize that this was Lingxu and Qian Renxue.

After Qian Renxue returned, she did not start cultivating immediately; instead, she first had dinner with Lingxu's parents and then met with that little follower she hadn't seen in a long time.

When they learned that Qian Renxue was already a Soul Saint, they were all incredibly envious and confirmed that her status as the big sister was unshakable.

After playing for two days, which could be considered relaxing, Qian Renxue then began a new round of cultivation.

However, before cultivating, Lingxu gave Qian Renxue another Immortal Grade Medicinal Herb.

This Immortal Grade Herb was the Narcissus Jade Skin Bone, and when used in combination with other medicinal herbs, it allowed Qian Renxue's soul power to leap forward once again.

Qian Renxue had just entered level 76, and after taking this Immortal Grade Herb, she rose directly to the peak of level 78.

She was close to level 79, and within half a year, Qian Renxue would definitely be able to reach level 79.

Then, reaching level 80 in the remaining year and a half would not be much of a problem.

With the subsequent medicinal effects of the Immortal Grade Herb and the cultivation bonus of Lingxue Sacred Land, advancing half a level a year would be quite easy.

After Qian Renxue cultivated, Lingxu also began his own new round of cultivation.

The target: Slaughter City.

Lingxu set off after staying in Lingxue Sacred Land for less than a month.

Slaughter City was a prerequisite for obtaining the Asura God Position; the primary condition was to obtain the God Slayer Domain, and the secondary was to obtain the Asura Sword.

And the owner of the Asura Sword was currently in the hands of the Slaughter King.

Lingxu, who was familiar with the plot, also knew that even if he obtained the Asura Sword, he might not necessarily obtain the Asura God Position; whether it would be passed on or not still depended on the Asura God's mood.

But this did not prevent Lingxu from going to get it first; whether it was passed on or not could be discussed later.

The best way was still to become a god through strength; this was a method of becoming a god other than through faith or inheriting a God Position, and it was the most difficult, but this way of becoming a god was also the strongest.

Although Lingxu had a system and cheats, he did not have absolute certainty about becoming a god through strength.

The Angel God was Qian Renxue's, and no one could take it away.

Therefore, Lingxu treated the Asura God and Sea God positions as backups; if becoming a god through strength didn't work, it wouldn't be too late to inherit a God Position then.

After saying goodbye to his family and Qian Renxue, Lingxu purchased a large amount of food, vegetables, and other daily necessities from Heaven Dou City.

Of course, there was also drinking water and the like; after all, he was going to Slaughter City, and nothing that needed to be prepared could be left out.

Three days later!

Lingxu had already arrived at the entrance of Slaughter City, but Lingxu did not drink the Xuesheng Mali; he just stepped down, the ground collapsed, and he entered Slaughter City.

Just like the original plot Lingxu had read, a group of people came to test Lingxu after he entered.

And Lingxu only made a slight move and directly severed the arm of one of the captains.

However, unlike the original work, the Hell Envoy who guided him was not the black-clothed woman Tang San encountered.

At the gate of Slaughter City, there stood a woman wearing blood-red clothes; she was scantily clad, her hands were slender, and her pink nails were extremely sharp.

Appearing before Lingxu, she made Lingxu feel a great wave of the smell of blood.

"What a nice young man. You were able to sever Captain Scott's arm, which shows you are very powerful, but in Slaughter City, strength alone is not enough to survive."

"Little boy, do you want to join my ranks? As long as you listen to my orders, I will definitely guarantee your safety."

The woman in red looked at Lingxu with a charming expression, as if she wanted to eat him up.

While the woman was speaking, Lingxu also used the system to check some of her information.

The woman in red's soul power was not bad; she was a Soul Saint, level 73 soul power.

She also looked extremely young, only about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.

Mature, charming, and with an excellent figure.

Although there was a thick scent of rouge on her body, it could not cover up that bloody smell.

Her martial soul was a fox, so it was very difficult for ordinary people to resist her temptation.

The Lingxu before her was the most handsome and young person she had seen enter Slaughter City in the last few years, and at this moment, she had already developed the intent to kill.

As a Hell Envoy under the Slaughter King, she kept two male favorites to amuse herself.

But the moment she saw Lingxu, the two she kept at home were only fit to be blood pigs providing Xuesheng Mali; they were not worthy of her keeping.

Despite such charm, Lingxu's expression did not change at all, and he said indifferently: "Do your job. Isn't your task to guide me?"

Lingxu's powerful aura made the woman unable to help but take a step back.

The youth before her was actually not affected by her, and his soul power was even above hers.

But because of this, she liked him even more.

"Little brother, don't be in such a hurry; let me..."

Before the woman in red could finish speaking, a cold light flashed, and a cold long sword had already landed on her neck.

Lingxu also brought cold weapons when he entered Slaughter City.

In the Douluo World, cold weapons could also play a role.

It was just that they had been covered up.

Blacksmiths could manufacture clothes that defended against Soul Emperor-level attacks, so offensive items were even stronger.

Hidden weapons could kill a Title Douluo, and a precious sword could likewise chop off a Title Douluo's head.

He did not use any soul skill, just a single Xuantie Sword.

"Get to the point; I wouldn't mind if my first kill in Slaughter City was you," Lingxu said coldly.

In that instant, the woman in red was terrified; she had truly walked through the gates of hell just now, and although death was everywhere in Slaughter City, as an envoy of the Slaughter King, no one in Slaughter City had ever attacked her; on the contrary, they would try their best to curry favor with her.

She never lacked Xuesheng Mali, but she also rarely experienced slaughter.

With death truly descending upon her, the body of the woman in red trembled.

The woman in red said, "I... I am Hongshang, an envoy of the Slaughter King. I will bring you into Slaughter City, explain the rules of Slaughter City to you, and for the next twenty-four hours, I will stay by your side; consider it your beginner's protection."

Lingxu said, "Good! Then start your work!"

Only after putting away the Xuantie Sword did Hongshang let out a long sigh of relief; the youth before her was truly too terrifying, as if she were facing the Slaughter King himself.

"This is your identity token; in Slaughter City, this is your code name."

Lingxu took the token and saw a number on it: four sixes, number 6666!

This was truly a lucky number, and he did not know if it was intentional or deliberate on Hongshang's part, or if it was just Lingxu's luck.

Upon entering the city gate of Slaughter City, Lingxu had already felt the environment of Slaughter City.

Various scenes that were hard to imagine before appeared before Lingxu's eyes.

Murder in the streets, public fornication, public...

Almost everything you could think of was here, and things you couldn't think of were here too.

If it were an ordinary person, they would never be able to withstand this environment upon entering for the first time.

Even Lingxu felt uncomfortable at first and took a few seconds to adjust.

"These are just the outer city of Slaughter City, not the real Slaughter City. Only in the inner city is it a place without rules. Congratulations, Xuesheng Mali can only survive by lingering on in the outer city."

"In the inner city, wanton slaughter is not allowed. Only those warriors who have survived in the Diyu Shaluchang are qualified to live in the inner city. The enjoyment obtained in the inner city is also greater than outside, but you will face the test of high death rates at any time."

"There is one more point, which you must have already known: in this Slaughter City, you cannot use soul skills, unless you are a subordinate of my Slaughter City," Hongshang said.

Although many Spirit Masters here had higher soul power than her, they looked at her with awe and fear.

Because she was a subordinate of the Slaughter King and had the privilege of being able to use soul skills.

A Soul Saint who can use soul skills is enough to defeat a Spirit Douluo.

As for a Title Douluo, that is another matter.

But a Spirit Douluo is basically no problem, so Hongshang, who can use soul skills, has a very high status.

Lingxu could also see that he was walking not far from Hongshang, and even if someone coveted him, these people could only watch from afar and dared not make a move.

"You just mentioned the Diyu Shaluchang, right? Take me there!" Lingxu said directly.

After hearing so much from Hongshang, Lingxu found that it was almost the same as described in the original novel, with little difference.

He did not want to stay in such an environment for long, so he directly asked Hongshang to take him to the Diyu Shaluchang; even if it was one match a day, it would still take one hundred days to get out.

Hongshang looked at Lingxu in surprise and said, "6666, do you really want to go to the Diyu Shaluchang now? If you participate, then you will also lose my protection."

Lingxu said, "Just take me there."

Seeing that Lingxu's attitude was very firm, Hongshang could only shake her head helplessly and said, "Fine, I will take you."

Entering the inner city, it was relatively better than the outer city.

Although there was still plenty of slaughter inside, there were not many people acting on the streets.

The rule is that you cannot kill at will, but in the shadows, Slaughter City does not care.

In the Diyu Shaluchang, as long as you win one match, you can have the qualification to live in the inner city for a year, and you don't have to hand over Xuesheng Mali.

In the inner city, under Hongshang's guidance, Lingxu walked for half an hour before arriving outside the Diyu Shaluchang.

Hongshang said, "Are you sure you want to go?"

But Lingxu ignored Hongshang and walked directly to a bald man, saying, "Give me that cup of Xuesheng Mali in your hand; I want it."

"Give it to you?" The bald man looked at Lingxu and laughed, "Where did this little brat come from? Don't you know the name of Guangtou Wang?"

But in the next moment, he felt some pain at his neck; Lingxu's Xuantie Sword had already cut through his skin.

"Will you give it?" Lingxu said calmly.

Lingxu's speed was almost unseen by anyone present, and the burly man known as Guangtou Wang immediately said, "Isn't it just a cup of Xuesheng Mali? I'll give it, I'll give it, isn't that enough? I don't lack this at all."

After speaking, he took a cup out of his Soul Guidance Device and handed it to Lingxu.

After Lingxu took it, he put away the Xuantie Sword and walked straight to the registration desk of the Diyu Shaluchang.

And Hongshang, watching Lingxu snatch a cup of Xuesheng Mali, was very puzzled; she didn't seem to have told the youth in front of her that registration required a cup of Xuesheng Mali.

Could it be that he already knew the rules of the Diyu Shaluchang?

Recalling the process of bringing this youth in, the other party did not enter Slaughter City according to the rules of Slaughter City, and then knew the rules of Slaughter City, so he?

I must report this to the Slaughter King.

Seeing Lingxu register, her mission was completed, and Lingxu had also lost his protection.

However, she did not immediately go to report to the Slaughter King, but wanted to see if this youth could win the first match.

If he died as soon as he entered, then there was no need to report.

Otherwise, if you just reported it and the person died, wouldn't the Slaughter King punish you?

Thinking of the Slaughter King's punishment, Hongshang felt a chill run through her entire body.

The previous envoy of hell was exploded to death by the Slaughter King.

It was the legendary... *explosion!

After Lingxu entered the Diyu Shaluchang, the Guangtou Wang who had his Xuesheng Mali snatched by Lingxu felt very unhappy, but after seeing Lingxu register, he took the initiative to register right behind him.

In all likelihood, they would be assigned together, and he decided to tear this youth apart on the field.

And after entering the slaughter arena, a thin, tall middle-aged man with a somewhat sinister face looked at Lingxu, shook his head, and said, "Kid, your speed is very fast; you actually managed to snatch Xuesheng Mali from Guangtou Wang just now."

"But I must remind you of one thing: Guangtou Wang is very strong and has already won nine consecutive matches. Since you registered right before him, you will likely be assigned to the same fight, and he will definitely take revenge on you."

Lingxu said indifferently, "Is that so? And so what?"

"Kid, I was the one who signed up right before you. When Guangtou Wang targets you, I can help you. You are very fast; we can join hands to defeat him."

The sinister-looking man had signed up just before Lingxu. He had already won five consecutive matches, so he naturally knew that every victory was extremely difficult to achieve.

Furthermore, even if one won, many people could not escape death after going outside.

In this Diyu Shaluchang, one must not only win but also avoid injury as much as possible.

Minor injuries are still manageable and sufficient to deal with crises outside, but if one is severely injured, one wouldn't even know how they died after leaving.

Six out of ten victors are killed by people outside.

After all, it is truly not easy to survive a ten-person battle without getting injured.

Therefore, he wanted to contact as many people as possible to form an alliance, and these people had to have one characteristic: they must be newcomers who had just entered Slaughter City, just like Lingxu.

Guangtou Wang, who could win nine consecutive matches, was definitely the most formidable opponent.

Sooner or later, one would have to face Guangtou Wang, so seizing Lingxu as cannon fodder was especially important.

Lingxu said indifferently, "Join hands with you?"

"I just arrived at Slaughter City, so don't try to fool me. I know that only one person can survive after a ten-person battle."

Seeing that Lingxu was not easy to fool, the sinister man continued, "It doesn't matter if you don't join hands with me, but you should know that once you enter the arena, almost everyone will join forces to deal with the strongest, defeat the strongest, and then eliminate the rest one by one."

"Until only two people are left, then the final showdown takes place. How should I put it? Joining hands with others gives you the greatest chance of being the last ones remaining, rather than being taken out early by everyone together, you know?"

"I'm only looking for you because I see you're a newcomer who doesn't understand the rules, and you have some strength; otherwise, I wouldn't have approached you."

Lingxu said, "Fine, what you say makes sense. I'll try joining hands with you!"

"Good, that's more like it. When the time comes, you follow my lead, and we will definitely survive to the end. As for whether we live or die then, that will depend on our own abilities," the sinister man laughed.

His heart was already blooming with joy. These days, newcomers were becoming harder and harder to fool. Fortunately, his swindling skills were decent; this match was mostly in the bag, and he could live for another year.
