Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 179 First Victory

Yang Ping'an's sword strike looked very simple, but it was based on his research into the Seven Kill Sword Technique and his practice of the basic sword techniques of the Thousand Paths School.

Faced with Yang Ping'an's attack, the bald, burly man who came towards him was also taken aback. He didn't expect that Yang Ping'an would still attack so recklessly when surrounded, which was a bit of a reversal of priorities.

The bald, burly man tried to block with his weapon, but Yang Ping'an changed his sword technique and used the move "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun" to instantly deflect the weapon and pierce the man's throat.

At this moment, the bald, burly man's eyes seemed filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe that Yang Ping'an's simple sword strike had such power and speed. He hadn't even had time to react before he was killed, and his eyes seemed filled with despair.

Yang Ping'an snorted coldly, not caring about anything else, and directly slashed backhand to block the attacks of the other two.

Yang Ping'an had never practiced any sword techniques since childhood; he just liked them. Recently, he had been practicing some simple chopping, thrusting, slashing, pointing, cutting, and slicing techniques. However, Yang Ping'an was also very clear that no matter what kind of sword technique it was, it was ultimately about speed, strength, and agility. As long as he put all his strength into the sword, and even all his killing intent and will into the sword, he could naturally maximize its power.

As for becoming a sword master, Yang Ping'an never thought about it. In his eyes, whether it was sword moves and techniques, martial spirit power, or even palm, fist, or claw techniques, as long as they could kill people, that was enough. The ultimate goal was the way of killing.

As Yang Ping'an blocked the two attacks with his sword, he directly unleashed a powerful strike, "Mount Hua Cleave," at one of them. His longsword seemed capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, and it even possessed a purple-gold soul power. The man opposite him was immediately shocked and tried to defend himself with his own weapon.

This time, however, Yang Ping'an didn't resort to any other tricks. He focused all his strength on his longsword, forcefully severing the opponent's weapon and even splitting his body in two. Blood sprayed everywhere, even staining Yang Ping'an's robes.

The other attacker felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't expected Yang Ping'an, who looked so young, to be so ruthless. He even seemed to back away.

But Yang Ping'an didn't care about that. He gripped the sword with both hands and used all his strength to slash several times, breaking the weapon in the man's hand. In the end, the man was cut in half at the waist.

As Yang Ping'an killed three people in succession, the blood in his body seemed to start to boil, as if releasing the most primal killing intent within him. Without saying a word, he attacked the rest of them.

The other seven were still fighting, and two of them had already been killed by sneak attacks or gang beatings, but Yang Ping'an suddenly broke in, which shocked them.

Yang Ping'an didn't care about anything else and swung his sword at the person closest to him. This person was also a ruthless person, and he was actually holding a giant hammer. He swung the hammer directly at Yang Ping'an's sword.

Seeing the longsword collide with the giant hammer, Yang Ping'an immediately took three steps back, and the person opposite him also took two steps back. But Yang Ping'an was filled with ruthlessness and gripped the sword with both hands to slash wildly. He didn't care whether the giant hammer was exerting a strong force on him and he completely stunned the person opposite him.

He had never seen such a madman. His swordsmanship looked simple and clear, even to the point of being that of a novice swordsman. But the crazy and chaotic swordsmanship was actually breathtaking.

In the instant the man was distracted, Yang Ping'an's left hand transformed into a dragon claw, forcefully grabbing the opponent's hammer. This forcefully pressed down on the entire giant hammer, even bending the handle slightly. The man felt a brutal force coming from the giant hammer.

Before he could even give up the giant hammer, Yang Ping'an swung his sword with his right hand, severing the man's arm that was holding the hammer. Then, with a backhand thrust, he pierced through the man's body, even twisting it and splitting the body in half.

The man immediately coughed up blood, muttering to himself, "Dragon transformation... It's actually the dragon transformation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."

Yang Ping'an didn't care about any of that. He immediately struck again with his sword, finishing off the man.

The four remaining people on the stage were also shocked. They abandoned their attacks on the people around them and instead attacked Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an just sneered and didn't retreat. Instead, he lunged forward and slashed at her with his sword, his face contorted with rage.

There was no question of injury or not; after just a few rounds, all four of them had fallen on the arena, their deaths extremely gruesome. Some had their bodies severed by longswords, while others had their heads cut off; none of them died a natural death.

Countless drops of blood were spilled across the entire arena, creating a terrifying scene. Especially when Yang Ping'an observed closely, the blood was gradually being absorbed by the arena, making it resemble a ferocious beast with its jaws wide open, as if it were about to devour everyone's blood. In particular, when Yang Ping'an observed closely, the carnage here seemed completely different from that outside; it was as if this arena was also devouring the souls of the dead.

In particular, Yang Ping'an felt that after the killing, the blood in his body seemed to be boiling, and his eyes even turned a little red, just like everyone else in the hellish killing field, as if he had become a monster who only knew how to kill.

At the same time, cheers erupted from all the stands, like a sea of ​​evil.

After calming himself down, Yang Ping'an went straight back to his residence, casually dealing with a few people who tried to attack him along the way.

This was Yang Ping'an's first Hell Killing Tournament. He felt that he was far behind in terms of combat power and other aspects. His swordsmanship was completely chaotic. He relied purely on his powerful strength and combat awareness to kill his enemies, or rather, he relied on his superhuman strength after transforming into a dragon to win.

Back in his room, Yang Ping'an took out the Seven Kill Sword Technique again, feeling that after the match, he had gained a deeper understanding of the word "kill" in the Seven Kill Sword Technique.

In the following period, apart from going to the backstage area of ​​Hell Kill for matches, Yang Ping'an basically stayed in his room, either practicing swordsmanship, palm and claw techniques, or even researching other offensive and defensive methods. His days were rather monotonous.

Of course, many people also try to sneak into their own houses to carry out a sneak attack, but without exception, as soon as they step into their own rooms, they will be poisoned without realizing it, and eventually die bleeding from all seven orifices.

Yang Ping'an didn't care about all that. After scavenging the corpse, he simply disposed of it.

In this killing city, corpses are very valuable; they can be exchanged for Bloody Marys or other items, and even food.

However, since entering the City of Slaughter, Yang Ping'an has been using all the food and water he brought with him. Moreover, whenever he is in his room, he takes out the Fragrant Silk Fairy Item. Although he is not afraid of being poisoned, it is always good to take precautions.
