Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

A palm the size of a fan slapped him across the face, followed by a series of shattering sounds. The man felt his head spin clockwise from right to left, and before his consciousness faded, he was met with a pair of deep, dark pupils.

Given the chance, he would never let his greed and desires sway him to provoke this god of death. With that last thought, his body crashed to the ground.

Thus, all the invading enemies were killed. Although the residents of the inner city still looked at Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuyun with greedy eyes, they dared not approach them again. The corpses and blood scattered all over the ground undoubtedly announced to them that a savior had arrived in the city of slaughter.

"Let's go, let's find a place to rest." Tang Shan called out, and began looking for a suitable place to stay on his own. No one dared to stop him, and the crowd naturally dispersed wherever he went.

Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuyun followed closely behind him. The killing just now had also accumulated a lot of killing intent in them. Their eyes were still full of longing, but there was also a hint of awe in them.

This is a two-story attic, just like the outer city, without any furniture. If there is any difference, it is that there is a water source here, so you can wash off the dirt on your body directly.

After casually killing the fallen in the attic, Tang Shan and his two companions each found a room on the second floor and began to clean themselves of the filth.

The room in Tangshan was near the only staircase, which was convenient for going up and down the stairs and also guarded the main passage.

As for windows, sorry, there are no windows in the rooms of Killing City; the door to each room is the only entrance and exit.

After changing into clean clothes, Qian Renxue and Zhu Zhuyun met in Tangshan's room.

"Your Highness, Zhu Yun, this is the inner city of the Killing Capital. It's even more chaotic than the outer city. You must travel in groups when you go out," Tang Shan said to the two women, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Don't worry, teacher, I value my life and won't take any risks." The black bodysuit perfectly accentuated Zhu Zhuyun's exaggerated figure. She nodded seriously, her breasts undulating.

"I know, I won't hold you back. When do we start participating in the Hell Slaughter Arena?" Qian Renxue asked about the plans as she agreed.

"Let's prepare ourselves mentally today, and then we'll participate tomorrow, taking turns to avoid facing each other." Tang Shan thought for a moment and quickly gave his answer.

Zhu Zhuyun and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance, and finally nodded in tacit agreement. They knew that tomorrow was just the beginning of their trials.

……

The giant fox tail swept away the opponent's head, leaving only Hu Liena on the field.

The strong stench of blood filled her nostrils, and even though she had practiced on death row inmates before coming here, Hu Liena's stomach still churned.

Suppressing her nausea and the urge to vomit, Hu Liena forced herself to maintain a composed expression. She absolutely could not show the slightest weakness; otherwise, the audience members who had cheered for her in the stands would turn into vengeful ghosts after she left the stage.

As I stepped out of the passage, a staff member at the Hell's Killing Fields handed me a Bloody Mary. "Would you like one? It's free."

Hu Liena paused for a very brief moment before reaching out to take the wine glass: Is this a test? No, I must not show weakness.

I brought the liquid to my lips and took a small sip. The viscous liquid slid down my throat, instantly calming the churning in my stomach, and my mind seemed to become even more alert.

"It tastes pretty good," Hu Liena thought to herself, a faint red glint flashing in her eyes.

……

Whoosh whoosh!

Tang San unleashed a barrage of hidden weapons, each aimed directly at the opponent's vital points. Enemies fell one after another, and soon, no one dared to provoke him within a few meters.

He slowly bent down, carefully picking up the blood-stained hidden weapons. Occasionally, a daring person would try to launch a sneak attack, only to be met with a steel nail or a willow leaf dart.

After collecting all the hidden weapons, Tang San stored them in the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night. He glanced at the still menacing Fallen Ones, then, stepping on Ghost Shadow Steps, he disappeared into the bustling streets.

At this point, Tang Shan, Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuyun, Hu Liena, and Tang San have all arrived in the City of Slaughter, and the inner city of the City of Slaughter will soon face its darkest period.

Snapped!

The wine glass shattered instantly upon hitting the ground. The King of Slaughter's face darkened, and the rage in his heart nearly consumed his reason.

"Damn it, they think I'm made of clay. Five monsters. If they all get the God of Slaughter Domain, the threat to me will definitely increase significantly."

The King of Slaughter never expected that in just a few days, five powerful figures would arrive in his Slaughter City. Two of them had Gods of Slaughter behind them, and the other three were even more dangerous, with High Priests of Gods standing directly behind them.

"How about I make them fight each other, and the winner gets to go through the Hell Road?" The King of Slaughter stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, but finally gave up on this suicidal idea.

"Forget it, I can't afford to offend any of those three now. Any one of them could pose a threat to my life. A few more killing gods won't make a difference, and a few less won't make a difference either."

If either Bibi Dong or Tang Hao weren't strong enough, the King of Slaughter might have initiated this plan. However, based on his previous perceptions, both of them posed a deadly threat to him, and for the sake of his own life, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

"Guards!" the King of Slaughter roared, and a moment later, a slender messenger from hell entered the room.

Without a word, the King of Slaughter tackled him to the ground. He needed to vent his anger, and even more so, the deep fear hidden beneath it.

……

"Should we tell the teacher?" Zhu Zhuyun hesitated as she slowly descended the stairs, looking at Qian Renxue ahead.

At this moment, Qian Renxue's once dazzling golden hair had vanished without a trace, replaced by black hair that stretched down to her waist like an abyss.

"No need. He wants the two of us to travel together, which means that the two of us working together are enough to roam freely in the inner city of the Killing Capital. At the very least, we should be able to escape safely. Besides, there are some things that are easier to say when he's not around." The pitch-black flames were like a black hole, drawing my gaze involuntarily, and I was even about to sink into them.

Zhu Zhuyun pursed her lips and remained silent. The two went down to the first floor, concealing their auras and silently blending into this sinful place.

Tang Shan glanced at the door, his gaze seemingly piercing through it, noticing Zhu Zhuyun and Qian Renxue walking in the darkness. He didn't make a sound to disturb them, and withdrew his expanded spiritual power. He trusted their strength, and even more so, he trusted Qian Renxue's ability to sense danger and avoid it after reaching the Dan realm.

P.S.: 4000 words today, time for a break.

Chapter 495 Fallen and Evil Soul Master

The pitch-black flames engulfed the man's entire body, with no heat escaping. As the flames scorched him, strange changes began to occur on his body.

The nature of the soul power changed, and a special characteristic awakened in the origin of the martial soul. The originally normal pupils were replaced by a deep black.

The man braced himself on the ground with both hands, his face contorted in a grimace, as if he were being tortured. His fingers dug into the floor involuntarily, and his teeth were clenched tightly.

Fifteen minutes later, the firelight subsided, his eyes returned to normal, and a chilling aura unconsciously emanated from his body.

"Greetings, Master!" Kneeling on one knee without the slightest hesitation, the man showed Qian Renxue extraordinary respect and fervor.

hiss!

Zhu Zhuyun, who had witnessed the entire transformation process, couldn't help but gasp. The fallen ones who had originally intended to harm them were now completely submissive and even sincerely submitted under the influence of Qian Renxue's martial soul's inherent corrupting ability. This ability was simply terrifying.

Qian Renxue remained silent, her eyes slightly closed, carefully sensing the unseen connection between herself and the person before her. After a long while, she reopened her eyes, a faint black light flashing briefly within them.

"Go, go fight, go slaughter!" The voice was cold and devoid of any emotion. The man who received the order seemed to have received a royal decree and charged out. Soon after, faint sounds of fighting could be heard from the nearby streets.

"Are you alright? Do you need to rest?" Sensing that Qian Renxue's aura seemed a little off, Zhu Zhuyun comforted her with some concern.

"I'm fine, or rather, I'm in better condition than ever before!" Feeling the pure soul power flowing from the invisible connection, the black light in Qian Renxue's eyes grew even brighter.

Innate Soul Skill: Fallen: Actively transforms an ordinary Soul Master into an Evil Soul Master, and a portion of the Evil Soul Master's cultivation achievements will be fed back to the user, whether it is normal cultivation achievements or cultivation improved through Evil Soul Master methods.

Every moment, Qian Renxue could feel her soul power increasing. If she hadn't been hindered by the level 70 bottleneck, this feeling of improvement would have been even more pronounced.

"Let's go, let's continue." Qian Renxue didn't explain much and continued to look for a target. She was determined to use the divinely bestowed soul ring to break through to the Soul Saint level after completing the Rakshasa God Trial.

One by one, the fallen from the City of Slaughter were converted by Qian Renxue, and one by one, bloodthirsty madmen joined the already chaotic inner city, making the City of Slaughter even more chaotic and insane, while the number of evil soul masters among them was increasing at an extremely terrifying rate.

……

"The boss seems to be acting strangely lately. It looks like a lot of unruly new people have come in."

This was a gloomy basement. The dim candlelight illuminated several figures shrouded in black robes. One of the shorter men respectfully reported to the person at the head of the table.

"What do you mean?" The leading man's voice was unusually hoarse and unpleasant, clearly indicating that his throat had suffered some kind of injury.

"Many people are indiscriminately killing in the streets, devouring life force to improve their cultivation, and some have even ventured into the areas we occupy," the short man replied respectfully.

"So many?" The leading man was somewhat surprised. "That shouldn't be the case. Aren't all our kind gathered together? Even if some unlucky guys were captured by the Spirit Hall and thrown here, there shouldn't be so many coming in at once."

"I don't know," the short man replied, clearly puzzled. "Should I go and probe?"

"We're already struggling to survive here, there's no need to provoke those unknown entities. I understand, you can go now."

The short man nodded, turned and left the gloomy and eerie basement.

"Old Ghost Zhongli, what exactly happened in this City of Slaughter? Do you have any clues?" The other men in black robes focused their attention on the leader, hoping he would make a decision.

“There’s a chance someone else will try to break into the City of Slaughter, probably backed by the God of Slaughter. For now, we should tighten our defenses and avoid provoking these big troubles.” The leader, known as Old Ghost Zhongli, pondered for a moment before making his deduction.

"Another one is trying to break into the City of Slaughter. It seems we're going to lose a lot of blood food again." One of the men in black robes said with some regret. As for Zhongli Laogui's prediction, he had no doubt about it. The other party's wisdom, if not extraordinary, was the foundation for their survival in this chaotic place.

“Speaking of the God of Slaughter, I’m reminded of that girl from a few years ago. Her talent was simply unparalleled. It’s just a pity that she wasn’t willing to share her glory with us,” a fat man said with a sigh.

“That’s right, the Death Spider King plus the Soul-Devouring Spider King, this is simply made for Old Ghost Zhongli.” Another man in black robes seemed to agree.

"Alright, enough with the flattery. After all, she's the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. How could she possibly associate with us, these rats from the sewers?" Old Ghost Zhongli's tone was somewhat strange. "It's just that I never expected the mighty Spirit Hall to choose such a person as its Holy Maiden. According to the information I've gathered recently, she seems to have even become the current Pope. This is simply..."

"Why can she walk in the light? Just because of her identity? In my opinion, if we have the opportunity to go out in the future, let's not call ourselves the Evil Spirit Cult anymore, let's just call ourselves the Holy Spirit Cult. We should also appear on the mainland openly and honestly."

"The Holy Spirit Cult?" Zhongli Laogui's lips curled into a bitter smile. How could they get out? What right did they have to get out? As long as they achieved a winning streak of nearly a hundred matches in the Hell Slaughter Arena, they would be met with the merciless annihilation of the King of Slaughter.

It's impossible for the King of Slaughter to die inexplicably and for the City of Slaughter to be destroyed as well. That's impossible. This is the work of a god; there won't be any accidents.

……

"Greetings, Master." Kneeling respectfully to show submission, Qian Renxue waved her hand as if it were commonplace, indicating that the other party should do as they pleased.

I looked up at the sky, and the blood moon overhead was as bright as ever, unchanged.

"Let's stop here for today. We'll finish them off tomorrow." Qian Renxue withdrew the surging black flames from her hands and said to Zhu Zhuyun, who was standing silently to the side.

Zhu Zhuyun nodded and silently followed Qian Renxue, keeping a certain distance from her. For some reason, she always felt that the other person seemed to be secretly observing her.

"You're back?" Just as the two women reached the corner on the second floor, Tang Shan's door opened, and a gentle voice came from inside.

Qian Renxue paused, then turned and walked into Tang Shan's room. Zhu Zhuyun narrowed her eyes and followed closely behind without hesitation.

"I've gone to complete the Rakshasa God's test. I only need one more person to complete the first test." He sat down in front of Tang Shan, the coldness he had shown when using the Fallen skill completely gone. A gentle smile appeared on his face as he looked directly at the person in front of him.

Tang Shan deliberately avoided Qian Renxue's gaze. As for the matter of the dual tests of Rakshasa and Angel, Qian Daoliu had already told him about it on the way to the City of Slaughter. He remained noncommittal about Qian Renxue's plan to transform people into evil soul masters in the City of Slaughter.

This place is a gathering place for scum. Whether or not there is that evil power makes little difference to them. Why not help Qian Renxue complete the divine test?

However, Tang Shan was curious about how Qian Renxue, who only had one martial soul, would be able to support two godhoods. He knew that even with twin martial souls, the Sea God in the original timeline struggled to support both the Sea God and the Asura God. Without Xiao Wu's help with the Asura Sword Sheath, he would have exploded and died long ago.

"That's good, but still be careful when you go out." Tang Shan said, then, seeing Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes staring at him intently, he asked somewhat helplessly, "Your Highness, is there anything else?"

"It's alright, you should rest." Qian Renxue smiled and got up to leave Tang Shan's room.

"Teacher, you are so lovable." Zhu Zhuyun sat sideways, unintentionally revealing her beautiful curves, her words carrying a hidden meaning.

“I’ve clearly refused her, but she keeps pestering me. What can I do? We were friends after all.” Tang Shan was a little distressed. He never thought that the kind of thing that would happen to him would actually happen to him: “I treat you like a brother, but you’re clinging to me.”

"Teacher, if all else fails, just give in to him. He's not bad either," Zhu Zhuyun continued, her words carrying a double meaning.

"It's not that simple." Tang Shan rubbed his forehead. "By the way, Zhu Yun, have you found out why she fell into depravity?"

Although Qian Daoliu told Tang Shan that Qian Renxue's martial soul had undergone a certain mutation, he hesitated to tell Tang Shan the reason for the mutation. This made Tang Shan vaguely uneasy. Combined with the bizarre Rakshasa God position and the absurdly abstract Bibi Dong, his ominous premonition grew stronger. Just in case, Tang Shan could only ask his disciple Zhu Zhuyun to investigate.

"Not yet, but I felt that her temperament changed when she used her talent, and on the way back, she seemed to be secretly observing me." Zhu Zhuyun told Tang Shan about her and Qian Renxue's previous trip in detail, but selectively ignored the tacit but vague exchange between the two as they went down the stairs.

"Teacher, why don't you just ask her directly?" Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes lit up with an idea.

"I'm afraid she's not telling me the truth." Tang Shan sighed. "Never mind, you go back and rest first. We'll go to the Hell Slaughter Field in a little while."
