Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 178 First Battle in Hell's Killing Fields

After Yang Ping'an finished arranging everything, he began to rest alone. As for the girl in the black veil, she also left. Yang Ping'an's unusual behavior clearly left him speechless.

The City of Slaughter has no rules or order; people can kill indiscriminately. Even titled Douluo are restricted in their use of soul skills. In a sense, if Dugu Bo were here, he would be an invincible being.

However, for Yang Ping'an, this is also a very good place. There is no kindness here, no reverence for life, only bloodshed and killing, which is very suitable for Yang Ping'an to hone his killing skills and create his own soul techniques.

Although Yang Ping'an came from Earth and was a model citizen with no history of breaking the law, he gradually came to realize the cruelty of the Soul Master world after entering Douluo Continent.

Because of family issues, he was hunted down by Yu Luomian, and there was no longer any kinship left. Even the brief peace before the age of four was shattered after his father was killed and his mother died. All that was left was revenge, hatred, and killing.

The Killing City is the most suitable place for Yang Ping'an in the world. Here, no rules apply, and he can unleash his hatred and become stronger.

However, Yang Ping'an sensed that there seemed to be something special in the air of the entire Killing City, somewhat similar to the toxin in Bloody Mary, which could also make people more insane and bloodthirsty.

Yang Ping'an was prepared and took out the Fragrant Silk Immortal Item. In its pale yellow light, even the toxins in the air of the City of Slaughter could not truly penetrate it.

Early the next morning, Yang Ping'an put on a suit of soft armor, held a long sword in his hand, carried a spear and a crossbow on his back, and hid a small hand crossbow in his sleeve, and headed straight for the Hell Slaughter Field.

To live in the inner city, you need Bloody Mary, and to participate in the Hellfire Arena, you also need Bloody Mary. It can be said that Bloody Mary is the only hard currency in the entire Killing City.

However, as soon as Yang Ping'an appeared, three people nearby immediately noticed the difference in him. It was clear that the 24-hour protection period had expired, and now newcomers like Yang Ping'an were easy targets in everyone's eyes.

Seeing someone rushing towards him, Yang Ping'an didn't care about anything else. He took out his crossbow from his back and fired an arrow. Before the man could react, the crossbow bolt pierced his body.

In this killing city, no one can use soul skills, so everyone can only rely on the strength of their bodies to withstand attacks. These powerful bows and crossbows are absolute killing weapons.

After shooting down one person with a crossbow, Yang Ping'an swung his longsword directly at him. The opponent was clearly very surprised, realizing that such a newcomer was so well-prepared.

The man didn't care at all when facing Yang Ping'an's sword; instead, he used his thick armor to block it.

At that instant, Yang Ping'an's sword suddenly turned, bypassing the man's defense and slashing horizontally. Before the man could react, it had already cut into his shoulder. Then, Yang Ping'an's left hand transformed into a claw, grabbing the man's neck and twisting it until it snapped.

The last person was shocked, not expecting this newcomer to be so powerful, and turned to leave.

But Yang Ping'an didn't care about any of that. He took out the spear from his back and shot it out with all his might, just like a javelin. Instantly, a sharp screech was heard, and the javelin pierced through the man from behind, pinning him to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Ping'an had already killed three people. Then, as if nothing had happened, he calmly took their Bloody Marys and other items from their bodies, and also put away his spear and bow and arrows. As if nothing had happened, he continued to walk towards the Hellish Killing Field, not even caring about the blood on his hands.

As they continued walking, more and more people appeared around them, but each of them showed a hint of apprehension towards Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an is now 1.95 meters tall, with no expression on his face, and he doesn't even seem to feel any pleasure after killing someone. Especially since he is wearing a black robe, and his hands, feet, and robe are stained with blood, he looks a bit like a demon who has walked out of hell.

Yang Ping'an went directly to the registration area for the Hell Slaughter Arena and registered for the nearest competition.

In this city of slaughter, the only place that truly interests Yang Ping'an is the Hell Slaughter Arena, for it is the only place where he can truly hone his skills.

Soon, Yang Ping'an's first Hell Slaughter Arena began. The Hell Slaughter Arena was very large, comparable to his former Soul Arena, but with ten people appearing at once, it still seemed a bit chaotic.

Before registering for the Hell Slaughter Arena, in addition to the identification badge, one also needs to choose a nickname. Yang Ping'an didn't even think about it and directly named himself Demon Dragon.

In the hellish killing field, besides Yang Ping'an, there were nine other people. All of them stood at a distance, as if they were all on guard against the others. There was no sign of anyone teaming up. It was a sure-kill situation, and no one would entrust their back to another person.

In this hellish killing field, one cannot use spirit ring skills, that is, one cannot use skills related to spirit rings, nor can one use the power within spirit rings. However, one can use self-created spirit skills. Yang Ping'an's dragon transformation and the Seven Kill Sword Technique he recently researched can also be used.

There's another very different thing about Yang Ping'an: he can actually use the Purple-Gold Demon Dragon Martial Soul. After all, the Purple-Gold Demon Dragon is different from ordinary Martial Souls because it can be summoned, which can give him a slight advantage. However, this is Yang Ping'an's last trump card.

Of course, vine-type control spirits like Tang San's can also be used, but the corresponding spirit skills cannot be used; however, the spirit's own entanglement abilities can be used.

In the hellish killing field, Yang Ping'an held a long sword and stayed alone in a corner, almost as if he were resting with his eyes closed.

Once everyone was present, Yang Ping'an's first Hellfire Killing Match officially began with the referee's whistle.

The other nine players on the field seemed to understand each other perfectly, and as the game began, almost everyone quickly attacked the person closest to them.

The three people closest to Yang Ping'an attacked him simultaneously, apparently hoping to kill this rookie beforehand and reduce the number of enemies.

Yang Ping'an simply snorted coldly. These people really thought they were easy targets. Then let them know what true killing is.

Without a word, Yang Ping'an gripped his longsword with both hands and thrust it directly at one of the men. This strike used all his strength, and it was as fast as lightning and unstoppable.
