The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 140 Hell's Killing Field

"Senior, please give some instructions to the King of Slaughter, so that he won't make things difficult for me later."

As a reminder, Xia Liang deactivated his Ossified Susanoo state and, with the boost from the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone skill for flight, flew into the spatial gap that had opened up in the bar floor.

As the spatial gap gradually healed and finally closed, Tang Hao opened the dark passageway beneath the bar. As the God of Slaughter, he had the right to freely enter and exit the City of Slaughter.

The God of Slaughter's Privilege allows one to directly meet the master of the Slaughter City simply by passing through the passageway; unfortunately, this privilege cannot be applied to others.

Just as Tang Hao had met with the King of Slaughter, Xia Liang finally flew out of the spatial rift and landed safely in a blood-red wasteland.

From outside the spatial rift, the city gate of the Slaughter City was right in front of him, but after entering the spatial rift, Xia Liang realized that he was still several thousand meters away from the city gate of the Slaughter City.

A large group of soldiers clad in black armor approached from afar, each soldier's face completely covered by a black helmet.

Three of the soldiers, riding black horses, wore armor that appeared to be of significantly higher quality and more ornate; they were likely generals.

The remaining black-armored soldiers were all fully armed, with the front-line soldiers wielding hook-and-sickle spears, and the soldiers on the left and right flanks holding swords in their left hands and shields in their right.

Looking down from above, the group of black-armored soldiers formed a formation resembling a black scorpion.

Using his X-ray vision, Xia Liang immediately calculated the number of black-armored soldiers approaching from the front, estimating there to be about a hundred.

These black-armored soldiers are peculiar; they don't look like living people, yet they exhibit signs of life, making it no exaggeration to call them undead soldiers.

Is it the law enforcement team of the Killing City?

Xia Liang suddenly remembered that the waiter who was killed earlier had said that people who disregarded the rules of the Killing City would be punished by the law enforcement team.

In the original story, when Tang San entered the City of Slaughter, he also encountered a similar law enforcement team blocking his way.

An army of one hundred black-armored soldiers stopped fifty meters in front of Xia Liang. The middle one of the three mounted generals at the front suddenly spoke up, "You have violated the rules."

"So what if I break the rules?" Xia Liang asked.

"Then you must accept punishment." The mounted general on the left spoke in a low, cold voice, his killing intent palpable. "Only by defeating us will you be qualified to enter the City of Slaughter!"

"Defeat?" Xia Liang smiled sinisterly. "The rules of the City of Slaughter are only victory or death, there is no such thing as defeat, right? You are standing in front of me, so the result is either my death or yours."

The three mounted generals exchanged glances, clearly not expecting to encounter such a reckless and depraved individual.

Seemingly having made a decision, the mounted general in the center suddenly shouted, "Kill!"

Upon hearing the order from their leader, the hundred black-armored soldiers, including the other two mounted generals, almost simultaneously let out a thunderous battle roar, raised their hook-and-sickle spears and longswords, and charged toward Xia Liang's position, instantly stirring up billowing dust.

The undead skeleton martial spirit was released, and the entire blood-red wasteland was suddenly shrouded in darkness.

The ossified Susanoo, in its half-skeletal form, enveloped Xia Liang. Susanoo then drew the Totsuka Blade from behind its back with its right hand, and a flaming energy light sword swiftly slashed down at the mounted general who was the first to charge.

The moment the mounted general looked up, the massive ten-fist sword cleaved down, splitting him and his black horse in two, splattering blood and internal organs everywhere.

Seeing this, the group of black-armored soldiers who were charging forward did not stop. They seemed to have already disregarded life and death. After forming an encirclement around Xia Liang, they continued to charge forward.

Xia Liang used his mind to control the boned Susanoo to raise the Totsuka Blade and sweep it left and right. The blade, which was originally only ten meters long, suddenly extended during the sweep, making the attack range much wider.

One by one, the black-armored soldiers were cut in two by the Totsuka Sword. Some were separated from their upper and lower bodies, while others were split in two. Although their deaths were different, their spirits were all sealed in the realm of the dead.

The battle did not last long.

Almost after the Ossified Susanoo swept the Totsuka Blade left and right for the fifth time, all the black-armored soldiers had been killed. Scattered corpses and limbs piled up on the ground, and the stench of blood filled the air.

With the ossified Susanoo released, Xia Liang stepped forward over countless corpses, his left hand grasping a token hidden inside the body of the mounted general from a distance.

The token is entirely black, with a skull engraved on it and a number below it: 900.

According to the original work, this token should be an identity token in the Killing City.

After putting his identity token into his silver bracelet, Xia Liang walked out from the mountain of corpses. The moment he left, all the corpses burst into black flames and burned to ashes.

After walking two kilometers, Xia Liang finally arrived at the city gate of the Killing City, where a black city came into view.

The thick, black city walls were extremely wide, a purple moon hung in the sky above the city, and the words "Slaughter City" were prominently displayed on the city gate.

This dark city hidden underground is the capital of slaughter.

In front of the city gate, two rows of soldiers in black armor stood silently. Before Xia Liang could show his identity token, a woman with a black veil on her face walked out from inside.

"Welcome to the City of Slaughter." The woman in black veil had a pleasant voice. She stepped aside in front of Xia Liang and gestured for him to enter.

"I killed over a hundred law enforcement officers from the Killing City. Aren't you going to impose any further sanctions on me?" Xia Liang asked.

"Mr. 900, you jest. We only recently learned that you were sent here by the God of Slaughter for training. If we had known this earlier, why would we have made things difficult for you? Please come in with me."

As she spoke, the woman in black veil walked towards the city gate.

Once inside the city, the use of soul skills would be restricted, and Xia Liang was thankful that his Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul had evolved into a complete human form. Even without the aid of soul skills, he would still possess considerable combat power. Furthermore, with the ability to break through spatial rifts as a trump card, he shouldn't have to worry about any unexpected events.

With a "what's done is done" attitude, Xia Liang followed the woman in black veil through the city gate and headed into the city.

Upon entering, a world of blue and purple unfolds before your eyes. The streetlights hanging on both sides of the street emit only blue and purple light.

To Xia Liang's surprise, there were quite a few people living here. Apart from everything being so dark, the city seemed no different from the cities outside.

This killing city gives people a feeling that is both illusory and real, perhaps because it is located in an unstable space.

The purple moon hanging high in the sky was clearly different from the moon in the outside world. According to the original description, although the underground space where the Killing City is located is different from the outside world, time is the same.

The deadline for the first test of the Evil God is less than ten months away. I must ensure that I raise my soul power to the bottleneck of level 70 and obtain the seventh soul ring within the deadline.

"Mr. 900, from today onwards, 900 will be your identity in the Killing City. Let me introduce myself. I am your new recruit guide, leading you through twelve wonderful hours, and also your narrator. Please feel free to ask me anything you would like to know."

The woman in black veiled spoke in a soft yet alluring voice, patiently explaining, "I will answer all your questions within twelve hours. After twelve hours, your newcomer protection period will end, and you will officially become a member of the Killing City. Is there anything you need to ask?"

"I'm already in, so how do I get out?" Xia Liang asked tentatively.

"Already thinking of leaving as soon as you arrive?" The woman in black chuckled. "There's only one way to leave the City of Slaughter. That is to become the owner of a hundred victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena, gain the qualification to challenge the Hell Road, and then break through the Hell Road, naturally leaving the City of Slaughter. Any such powerhouse will be granted the title of God of Slaughter by the King of Slaughter. You were sent in by the God of Slaughter from outside, so you should know these rules, right?"

"That's true." Xia Liang replied, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Tang Hao to not only enter the City of Slaughter faster than him, but also meet the King of Slaughter. Having the privileges of the God of Slaughter was indeed different.

It was thanks to Tang Hao's intervention that the trouble of having the enforcement team take action was avoided. With the God of Slaughter backing him up, the King of Slaughter should now abide by the rules and open the entrance to Hell Road for himself.

Thinking of this, Xia Liang felt a little relieved. In fact, even without Tang Hao's help, he still had the golden feather given to him by Qian Daoliu as a token.

I have already made ample preparations for this training in the City of Slaughter. In the future, I only need to worry about living in the city and not being killed or framed by those fallen soul masters.

"By the way," Xia Liang glanced around at the surrounding shops and asked curiously, "These shops sell all sorts of goods, and even the hotel accepts them. Do they all use external currencies for transactions?"

The girl in black veil smiled slightly. "The Killing Arena has no currency, and all food is provided free of charge. Of course, it's possible that it's poisoned. Many powerful individuals who achieved over thirty consecutive victories in the Hell Killing Arena died from food poisoning."

"Trading in the Killing City is done through barter. After killing someone, you take their head and use it to exchange for other items with shop owners. Whether it's a hotel or a restaurant, you can only trade with the heads and blood of the dead."

"Also, Mr. 900. Don't even think about escaping now that you're in. The general knight you killed earlier was just a centurion of the enforcement team. The real powerhouses of the enforcement team are all Soul Douluos who have been granted the ability to use Soul Skills by the King of Slaughter. The captain of the enforcement team is an even more powerful Title Douluo. Many Fallen Ones have tried to escape through the city gates, but without exception, they have all met their demise."

At this point, the woman in black stopped, gently lifting Xia Liang's chin with her index finger, her eyes flashing with seductive allure as she reminded him, "Mr. 900, you possess an evil aura that drives the women here mad. Don't disappoint me. Don't be cowardly and run away, only to be killed by the enforcement team, and don't die in a den of women. If you have any needs in that regard, I'd be happy to serve you."

Xia Liang grabbed the hand of the woman in black veil that was lifting his chin, and the two looked into each other's eyes, their gazes revealing ulterior motives towards one another.

Perhaps it was the power of the Slaughter City to amplify evil thoughts that made Xia Liang immediately suppress the evil thoughts in his heart, calm his chaotic thoughts, and say indifferently, "Please take me to the Hell Slaughter Arena. I want to challenge for a hundred victories right now."

"Are you sure?" The woman in black veil placed her left hand on Xia Liang's shoulder, while her right hand was being held, making it appear as if the two were embracing intimately.

The veiled face slowly approached Xia Liang's, the woman in black becoming even more alluring. "Mr. 900," she said, "you should know that newbies only have a twelve-hour protection period. Instead of going to the hellish killing field to die, why not use these twelve hours to indulge yourself? I'm truly interested in the evil aura emanating from you. It deeply attracts me, tempts me."

Xia Liang released the woman in black veil and pushed her away. "Stop talking nonsense and take me there."

Seeing that the other party was unmoved by her words, the woman in black veil snorted disdainfully and walked gracefully ahead to lead the way, as if nothing had happened.

Xia Liang followed closely behind. He knew that the evil aura the woman in black veil was referring to the divine test mark left by the evil divine test.

Although he has not yet completed any of the tests, the evil god bloodline within him is genuine.

Not only the woman in black veil, but probably all the depraved women in the City of Slaughter would be attracted to this bloodline of the evil god.

It seems that living in the City of Slaughter requires not only guarding against attacks from fallen male soul masters, but also being wary of fallen female soul masters.

Much later.

Following the woman in black veil to the city center, Xia Liang saw a massive building. The building was shaped like an inverted cone, narrowest at the bottom and widening towards the top.

The inverted cone-shaped building looks like a ring with a diameter of over fifty meters.

According to the woman in black veil, this enormous building is the Hell Slaughter Arena, the most important core of the entire Slaughter City.

"The rules of the Hell Killing Arena are simple," the woman in black explained. "After entering, register using your identity card. Then wait for the competition to begin. Fighting is not allowed during the waiting period. Each group enters the killing arena with ten people. The killing arena is a deathmatch where only one survives. No matter what method you use, as long as you are the last one alive, you will advance to the next round."

At this point, the woman in black veil smiled faintly, her eyes gleaming with a flirtatious light. "Mr. 900, are you really going to participate in the competition today? Aren't you going to enjoy the twelve-hour newbie protection period in the City of Slaughter? Considering how much I've explained to you, can't you at least satisfy my needs? I don't want to see your wicked aura go to waste. Or perhaps you've never done anything like this before and are shy? If you have no experience, I can teach you."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Aren't you afraid the killer who brought me in will kill you?"

As a reminder, Xia Liang turned and walked into the killing field.

Upon entering the Hellish Killing Arena, there is a registration desk that resembles a reception desk.

Following the instructions of the staff, Xia Liang showed his ID card to register for the competition.

"Congratulations, Mr. Number 900, on your successful registration. You have now reached the required ten participants. Your first killing spree will begin today. Enjoy!"

Led by the staff, Xia Liang and the nine people who were about to engage in a death match walked onto the central arena of the Hell Slaughter Arena.

No one shouted "start!" but as soon as the spectators in the killing arena yelled, the nine men who had just stepped onto the stage rushed toward their targets.

These nine people clearly had some degree of grudge against each other; some were in groups of three, while others were fighting each other in pairs.

Xia Liang stood motionless amidst the nine-person melee, his gaze sweeping across the audience. The spectators, each wielding a Bloody Mary, were inhumanly shouting, "Tear him apart! Quick, I want meat today! Drain his intestines!!"

When Xia Liang saw a fallen being beheaded and its intestines ripped out, he couldn't help but frown. He realized that the opponents he was facing were humanoid monsters who were far more evil and cruel than himself.

For the next six months, I will be dealing with this monster.
