Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 177 Entering the City of Slaughter

As the black door opened, fear began to appear in the eyes of the previously lively crowd, for once they entered the City of Slaughter, there was no hope of ever getting out.

Yang Ping'an ignored everyone and stepped straight through the black door. He felt as if he had stepped into thin air and was in boundless darkness, feeling weightless and as if he were falling.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Ping'an crashed heavily to the ground. He had intended to use his soul power to investigate, but it seemed that his soul power was restricted and his perception was sealed, just like returning to his previous life and becoming an ordinary person.

Yang Ping'an groped around in the darkness and gradually found a path forward. After walking for nearly a thousand meters, he finally sensed a faint presence.

Suddenly, my eyes were brightened, as if I had stepped out of the darkness. A faint light appeared before my eyes, but it seemed to be shrouded in darkness, and I could only barely see the outside world.

Just then, a cold voice reached Yang Ping'an's ears: "Welcome to the City of Slaughter. This is the capital of hell, a world filled with slaughter."

Yang Ping'an followed the sound and walked forward until he saw a door, from which a light seemed to emanate.

After Yang Ping'an stepped through the door, he seemed to enter a brand new world, a world filled with darkness and bloodshed, like hell.

Immediately afterwards, a squad of knights in black armor appeared in front of Yang Ping'an, but these knights clearly ignored Yang Ping'an and were just conducting a normal patrol.

A girl in black veil appeared before Yang Ping'an. Her voice was very pleasant: "Welcome to the City of Slaughter. I am your guide. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I will answer all your questions within 24 hours. After 24 hours, this will be where you live, and you will officially become a member of the City of Slaughter."

After the girl in the black veil finished speaking, she handed Yang Ping'an a black plaque with a skull engraved on it and a number, 9688.

"This is your proof of your presence in the Killing City. Please follow me into the real Killing City."

Yang Ping'an casually took the black sign and began to follow the direction of the girl in the black veil, Wang Chengchi.

However, Yang Ping'an carefully sensed his body and found that he could still summon the Purple-Gold Demon Dragon, but all the spirit rings on the Purple-Gold Demon Dragon seemed to be sealed and could not be summoned at all. However, the spirit bone skills seemed to still be usable.

Yang Ping'an just sneered. This killing city was indeed as expected. Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance, otherwise he would have really been in trouble.

The girl in black veil began to explain the situation of the City of Slaughter to Yang Ping'an: "Sir, the rule in the City of Slaughter is that there are no rules. As a member of the City of Slaughter, you can do anything here. Even if a Title Douluo from the outside world comes here, he will be weakened because his soul skills will disappear. And under the rule of the King of Slaughter, we have nothing to fear from them."

Yang Ping'an just smiled faintly. Although he made it sound so simple, in a real comparison, the physical qualities of a Title Douluo were more than a hundred times stronger than his own. He could crush him in every aspect, and there was no way that a low-level Soul Master could defeat a Title Douluo.

Along the way, the girl in black veils introduced other aspects of the Slaughter City, including the Hell Slaughter Arena and the guard team. In short, there are no rules in the Slaughter City; everything depends on strength.

Just as the girl in black veil said, as the two of them went deeper, more and more figures appeared. However, these people looked extremely ferocious, with more or less some injuries on their bodies. Some were even killed on the spot, leaving blood everywhere.

Yang Ping remained expressionless throughout, simply walking quietly down the road. The girl in the black veil, however, seemed puzzled: "Sir, you don't seem surprised at all by the scene in Slaughter City. Have you perhaps heard the rumors about Slaughter City before?"

Yang Ping'an sneered: "Don't try to probe me. Bibi Dong should have given me a heads-up before I came. Unless there are special circumstances, the King of Slaughter shouldn't target me."

The girl in black veil was immediately startled. The King of Slaughter had indeed given instructions that the Spirit Hall would be sending someone in soon. There was no need for special care, just that they didn't need to be targeted by their own people. She never expected that it would be this seemingly ordinary man in front of her.

Led by the girl in black veils, Yang Ping'an quickly arrived in the inner city, and at his request, the two went directly to the Hell Slaughter Arena.

The girl in the black veil seemed to have a hint of seduction in her voice: "Sir, you are very lucky. A competition is being prepared in the City of Slaughter. If you register now, you can participate immediately."

Yang Ping'an waved his hand: "No need. It's my first day here. I'd like to watch the Hell Slaughter Arena matches first. After all, I've never seen a purely physical killing match like this before."

Helpless, the girl in black had no choice but to lead Yang Ping'an to the audience seats of the Hell Slaughter Arena.

The so-called Hell Killing Arena is more like a huge ancient Roman amphitheater, with seats all around and a huge ring in the very center.

Yang Pingfan carefully observed the audience. They all seemed unusually excited, as if their bodies were no longer under their control, like madmen who only knew how to kill.

Amid cheers from the audience, all ten men were now in the ring. However, each of them was armed, and some even showed off their muscles and shoulders, looking just like savages from ancient Rome.

As the match began, the ten people on the stage were immediately thrown into a chaotic melee, each wielding a weapon and desperately attacking those around them. Clearly, everyone was very wary of those around them.

As the battle raged on, people were pierced through the body by enemy weapons, some had their hands and feet severed, some had their heads cut off, and some had their abdomens ripped open. The whole process was filled with bloodshed and violence, as if they had entered the most primitive battle in the human world. The ten people in the Soul Arena were like battle madmen, appearing extremely wild.

Yang Ping'an's expression gradually turned serious. This was a world of slaughter. The ten people on the stage were no longer human; they would become killing machines. Especially when blood was flowing everywhere, they would become extremely excited.

Yang Ping'an has always been very cautious about the City of Slaughter, which is one of the reasons why he trained hard for a period of time before coming here. In the original story, Tang San himself mastered the Tang Sect's secret techniques and was trained by Tang Hao under the waterfall for two whole years before he could truly step into the City of Slaughter.

However, this process was also fraught with danger, with multiple serious injuries and even countless life-threatening situations, making it extremely perilous.

Yang Ping'an lacked Tang Hao's training, the Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit, and the Tang Sect's secret techniques. That's why he painstakingly cultivated various secret manuals from several major forces, striving to maximize his combat abilities.

The ability to fly, the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, and the cultivation of various secret manuals are the reasons why Yang Ping'an dared to come to the City of Slaughter. But the most important reason is that he is more cautious in his dealings with people and would never act rashly.

After the Soul Battle match ended, Yang Ping'an casually asked, "Where am I staying now? Do I have a place to live?"

The girl in black veil was speechless for a moment: "I'm really sorry, the newcomer hasn't been provided with a place. However, there are many places to live in the inner city, but you have to fight for them and contribute Bloody Marys to live in the inner city."

Yang Ping'an nodded calmly: "I remember newcomers have a 24-hour protection period. If I find a place to stay now, no one should be able to attack me, right?"

The girl in black veil shook her head: "If you invade a house that's occupied, it will be considered a provocation, and you'll lose your protection period. Of course, if you can find an unoccupied house, no one can attack you."

Yang Ping'an sneered: "Let's go, let's find a secluded place to stay for the night, we can talk about tomorrow later."

However, as Yang Ping'an walked along the road, he seemed to be met with eager glances from the people around him, as if they were looking at prey. But when they saw the girl in black veil beside Yang Ping'an, none of them dared to provoke him.

Yang Ping'an completely ignored these people, found a secluded empty house, and coated the outside of the house with various poisons. He even created some poisonous smoke and mist to set up a simple poison array.

The girl in black veil was speechless for a moment: "Sir, this doesn't seem quite right. The City of Slaughter allows the occupation of other people's homes."

Yang Ping'an glanced at it casually: "What's wrong with it? Poisoning isn't against the rules, and besides, isn't the Killing City without any rules? If someone gets poisoned to death, isn't that perfect? ​​It saves me the trouble of going out to find someone to kill."
