The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 119 Slaughter City

The long river of time and space.

Huo Zhanji continued to swim upstream until he saw a beam of light. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a small town. The town did not look big, but as soon as he stepped in, Huo Zhanji could clearly feel the killing intent, and the people around him had a special chill.

"Where is this place?" The six people inside Huo Zhanji's body revealed themselves and looked at this unusual place.

"This is the City of Slaughter; we've traveled back ten thousand years," Huo Zhanji said.

"Time travel?" said Ice Dragon King Qingling.

"More or less. This is a branch of our world, like a parallel universe," Huo Zhanji explained to them before entering a tavern in the town.

The air inside the tavern was very stuffy, and all the decorations were black. Although it was daytime outside, stepping inside gave one a cold and dark feeling. At this moment, the tavern was about 30% full. Although the air was stuffy, very few people spoke, making it very quiet.

Huo Zhanji's arrival attracted a lot of attention, but most people only glanced at him briefly before moving on. Huo Zhanji casually found a spot in a corner and sat down.

A waiter dressed in black with an indifferent expression approached. "What would you like to order?"

Huo Zhanji coldly said, "Get out of my way."

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Zhanji released his Double Pupil Martial Soul, and seven soul rings appeared: one gold, four red, and two purple-gold. The tavern patrons, with their broadswords at their waists and fierce faces, who had been looking at Huo Zhanji with a mocking expression, instantly had their spirits broken and knelt on the ground.

However, none of this alarmed the waiter. He remained calm, seemingly used to the scene before him. Just as he was about to say something, Huo Zhanji kicked him away.

Huo Zhanji arrived at the entrance of the City of Slaughter and stomped his foot on the ground. The ground shattered into pieces, and with a deafening roar, a huge black hole appeared in the ground, from which a biting cold wind howled out.

Huo Zhanji jumped directly into the dark cave entrance. He was completely enveloped in darkness. After falling only a few meters, he felt that his feet were already on solid ground. He didn't need any light. Huo Zhanji's double pupils allowed him to see everything in front of him clearly in the dark. It was a long tunnel that extended downwards at an angle, and a cold aura kept blowing against his body.

"Let me see the terror of the slaughter city from ten thousand years ago," Huo Zhanji said with a wicked smile.

"Welcome to the City of Slaughter. This is the capital of hell, a world filled with carnage. Here, you can obtain anything you desire, at the cost of your lives."

Huo Zhanji turned a corner and saw a faint light ahead. It was an open door. He strode forward and heard a commotion. When he walked out of the passage, one hundred and one people appeared in front of him.

"You have broken the rules." The deep voice sounded extremely cold, and it was the black-armored knight who spoke, sitting upright on his horse.

"Since when has the City of Slaughter ever had rules? My rules are the only rules," Huo Zhanji said coldly.

The black-armored knight's voice remained icy, devoid of any human warmth, "Then you must accept your punishment. Defeat me, and you will gain the right to enter the City of Slaughter."

"I am Scott, the Dread Knight."

The warhorse suddenly accelerated, and the black-armored knight, exuding a chilling aura, charged straight at Huo Zhan. A cold aura permeated the air, and a fierce killing intent swept towards him head-on.

Huo Zhanji gave a cold laugh, his blood-red eyes fixed on Scott. A powerful pressure pressed down on him, and the warhorse and the so-called terrifying knight were directly imprisoned in place by this mental force.

Huo Zhanji looked coldly at Scott and said, "Do I still need to make a move? I won't hold back."

"No need, you've already passed my test. You're qualified to enter the City of Slaughter," the Dread Knight said with some difficulty.

A black plaque was handed to Huo Zhanji. He took it casually. The plaque was engraved with a skull and a number: 1457.

"Looks like I arrived pretty early, at least after Tang Chen," Huo Zhanji muttered to himself, toying with the token.

"This is your proof of identity in the Killing City. Please enter the city; someone will guide you at the city gate," said Dread Knight Scott with some humility.

The pitch-black city gate gave people an extremely oppressive feeling. Above the huge city gate, four large characters were hung: "City of Slaughter"!

"Welcome to the City of Slaughter." The woman's voice was very pleasant. She approached Huo Zhanji and gestured for him to enter.

"Alright, take me to the Hell Slaughter Arena," Huo Zhanji said coldly.

The girl in black veil paused for a moment, "Are you sure? Less than one-tenth of those who go in come out alive."

Huo Zhanji said calmly, "That's my business. I'll go now."

"In that case, please come with me."

After speaking, the girl in black veil walked into the city. She maintained a steady pace, always following beside Huo Zhanji, only slightly ahead of him by half a step.

Huo Zhanji wasn't in a hurry to do anything; he simply observed everything around him quietly. Although he had some understanding of the City of Slaughter, he was still quite curious now that it was right in front of him.

As they were walking, a figure suddenly stood up from the dark corner where he had been standing. "Oh, a new one's here. Looks like there's going to be a new Bloody Mary."

When the skeletal figure saw the girl in black veil on Huo Zhanji's other side, it seemed as if it had encountered something terrifying. It dared not say anything more and quickly disappeared back into the shadows.

Led by the girl in the black veil, Huo Zhanji saw a peculiar building. The building was circular, or more accurately, an irregular cone. It had the largest area at the bottom, narrowing as it rose, and only maintained the same diameter at a height of about thirty meters above the ground, extending upwards to fifty meters.

Huo Zhanji walked towards a bald, burly man, blocking his path. Without a word, he swiftly swept his hand, and the Bloody Mary was in the man's hand. The man didn't even have time to react.

The girl in black veil spoke urgently, "1457, if you provoke us, the newcomer protection won't work."

The burly man reacted, looked at his hands, his eyes flashing with ferocity, grinned savagely, drew his large sword from behind him, and slashed down.

Facing the incoming broadsword, Huo Zhanji punched him, turning his body into a bloody mist. "You're asking for death."

"Take me to the registration office," Huo Zhanji said calmly to the somewhat dazed girl in black veil.

The woman in black was utterly astonished: "Just how powerful must this force be?"

Upon entering, the Bloody Mary that Huo Zhanji was holding was poured into a huge container.

"Could you please register me? I want to participate in the next competition," Huo Zhanji said to the girl in black.

Without hesitation, the woman in black took Huo Zhanji's ID card and joined the queue, while Huo Zhanji stood in the isolation area to watch the battle. After nine people fell, there was still one person covered in blood standing on the stage, and the people around him kept cheering.
