Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 231 Slaughter City? City of the Dead!

"The City of Slaughter was created by the gods. Although it is connected to the real continent, it is actually a space of its own. The souls of humans who die in it cannot escape."

Based on the information he had observed, Electrox analyzed and speculated about the situation, "Although the soul will still dissipate, it will be slower than in the outside world."

"Besides, none of these souls retained the wisdom they had in life; only their obsessions remained, and they are constantly devouring each other..."

"Under these circumstances, I estimate that in a thousand years, a necromantic lord capable of influencing reality will be born here, with a power level of at least demigod."

"The power of the gods can passively influence the things around them, even if the gods themselves don't care."

"No wonder the divine realm stipulates that gods do not interfere in the human world..."

"Even if the gods themselves do not want to, if they do not control their own power properly, even a trace of it will have an extremely significant impact on life forms of lower level than gods."

"As things stand, this place can be called the City of the Dead!"

Tang San chimed in, "In a sense, even gods are quite rule-abiding; it's just that they also have emotions, desires, joys, sorrows, and other feelings."

"Let's go in and take a look."

Electrolux has decided to collect all the undead in the Killing City.

"These are all valuable materials to me."

"When we cultivate a necromantic monarch, we can face god-level powerhouses with more ease."

Tang San led the three women forward and encountered a patrol of knights from the City of Slaughter. However, all that remained were corpses, their deaths extremely gruesome. Some had their heads shattered, while others had their chests caved in, all killed with a single blow.

hammer?

Tang San felt like he had guessed who was responsible for the changes in the City of Slaughter.

Arriving at the true gate of the City of Slaughter, gazing at the over 100-meter-high, open gate, Tang San took a deep breath and stepped inside.

After walking a hundred meters, we finally entered the outer city of the Killing City...

The City of Slaughter is divided into three areas: the outer city, the inner city, the Slaughter Arena, and the Palace of the King of Slaughter.

The outer city was originally inhabited by fallen individuals who dared not enter the inner city area. The King of Slaughter's patrol teams would patrol regularly every day to prevent them from fighting each other too much and causing everyone to die. The people of the outer city were the fresh blood that replenished the inner city and the Slaughter Arena. If they all died at once, the outside world would not be able to fill the gap.

The inner city is a complete paradise of depravity. As long as you are strong enough, you can do anything, kill at will, and seize everything that belongs to others. Neither the King of Slaughter nor the patrol teams will get involved, because entering the inner city means that you are already prepared to face death.

As for the Killing Arena...

Needless to say, this is one of the core elements of the Killing City, providing a legitimate place for killing, and also the gateway to Hell.

However, this was all in the past.

Now, apart from the four of them, or other outsiders exploring other areas, there is no one else in the entire Killing City. Only the various dark red bloodstains, withered limbs, and rotting blackened internal organs left on the buildings and streets show that a brutal massacre had taken place here.

Although all the fallen ones who entered the Killing City deserved to die, such a massacre clearly shocked the four people's values.

To avoid the nauseating smell emanating from the severed limbs and damaged internal organs, Tang San wove four blue silver masks using the Blue Silver Emperor and handed three of them to the three women.

Although the nauseating smell cannot be completely avoided, it can be largely suppressed, and the remaining small part can be largely ignored under psychological influence.

Faced with this situation, Xiao Wu lost all interest in joking and her expression became extremely serious.

Guangling further unleashed the Sun Chasing Bow, holding the bow in his left hand and drawing the string with his right. A transparent arrow of soul power quietly condensed, constantly alerting the surroundings and observing whether anyone was hiding in the shadows.

The four continued forward and saw cracks in the road ahead, and a large crater not far away, with the surrounding buildings almost completely reduced to dust.

"What kind of power could achieve such an effect?"

Xiao Wu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The buildings in the Killing City are extremely sturdy. Even a full-force attack from an ordinary Soul Saint would only create a crack at most. But now, a crater tens of meters deep has been blasted out, and roads within a radius of a thousand meters have been shattered, with houses also in ruins.

"A Soul Master focused on power, and judging from the situation on the ground, his Martial Soul is something like a hammer." Tang San had already determined that the person who caused the Slaughter City to look like this was Tang Hao.

But why did he suddenly go mad and want to slaughter the entire city of slaughter?

Could it be that the King of Slaughter was also killed by Tang Hao?

Although Tang Chen is the King of Slaughter, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King cannot unleash Tang Chen's full power. Could it be that the grandson killed the grandfather?

"Perhaps it's due to the God of Slaughter Domain," Electrox suggested. "Although I haven't personally witnessed the God of Slaughter Domain, a domain that can evolve through killing intent—it seems possible that it could accumulate quantity rather than quality?"

"That's certainly possible." Tang San suspected that what he had said to Tang Hao back then might have spurred Tang Hao to "strive harder."

If the God of Slaughter Domain were to evolve, would it gain the approval of the God of Asura?

Anyone who obtains the God of Slaughter Domain is a candidate for the God of Asura. Whether they can gain the attention of the God of Asura depends on whether they can evolve the God of Slaughter Domain to a level recognized by the God of Asura.

Putting aside distractions and returning to reality, Tang San continued walking towards the central area of ​​the Slaughter City, ignoring the mangled corpses of the fallen along the way.

Xiao Wu, Guang Ling, and Lan Yinzi gradually got used to the scene here.

Finally, Tang San arrived at the Killing Arena.

Climbing the stairs to the stands, I looked out over the arena. The field, with a diameter of over a kilometer, was piled high with the corpses of the fallen, forming a small mountain nearly twenty meters high, emitting a foul stench.

"Ugh~"

The first to be unable to hold back was Guangling, who, despite wearing a Blue Silver Emperor mask, was still dry heaving on the side.

Tang San quickly handed her a bottle of water and patted her back: "Are you alright? Drink some water."

"Gurgle, gurgle!"

Guangling, who was gulping down water, finally looked a little better. She then handed the water bag to Xiaowu, whose face was also somewhat pale.

Seeing that Lan Yinzi's expression was equally unpleasant, Tang San took out another water bag from his white jade belt, handed it to him, and said, "Have some water too."

"Um."

Lan Yinzi took it, uncorked it, poured the water into her mouth, sipped it for a while, and then swallowed it.

She actually had some guesses as to why this situation had occurred in the City of Slaughter.

She was all too familiar with the marks of the previous attack.

overbearing!

Fierce!

That's Tang Hao's style.

As for Tang Xiao... Lan Yinzi clearly understood the difference between the two. Tang Xiao's fighting style was more cautious. He would always hold back three-tenths of his strength for unforeseen circumstances.

And what about Tang Hao?

Use all your strength, never hold back.

It was this recklessness that made Tang Hao seem "cute," "honest," and "brave" that ultimately led her to choose him. After all, she herself had the heart of a power attacker, and her soul skill, Blue Silver Overlord Spear, was the best proof of that.

However, she never imagined that this "recklessness" would have such serious consequences... Although there are no good people in this killing city, Tang Hao's actions were indeed a bit excessive.

Perhaps, after experiencing the trials of the Slaughter City and obtaining the God of Slaughter Domain, Tang Hao's personality had already become distorted.

This place is the site of the Asura God's lineage, but it has also been corrupted by the Rakshasa God.

Under the influence of divine power, the personalities of mortals are unknowingly distorted. This is especially true for someone like Tang Hao, who is not good at thinking. It is probably quite normal for him to become more stubborn or even insane.

"let's go."

At this moment, Electrolux quietly gathered the undead gathered here and sealed them inside the silver crystal short sword—a product of the materialized martial soul, perfectly suited for storing undead.

The soul and bloodline essence of Xiao Wu's mother are currently sealed within it.

Having received Electrolux's message, Tang San naturally didn't want to stay in this awful place any longer. He would wait until he had the ability to transform it later...

···

During their trip to the City of Slaughter, Tang San and his companions did not encounter any of the Title Douluos sent by the Spirit Hall to investigate, either because they were well-hidden or because the Title Douluos who came to investigate had already returned.

Tang San was happy to have some peace and quiet.

However, in order to soothe the "fright" Xiao Wu and Guang Ling suffered in the City of Slaughter, Tang San spent day and night with the two of them studying the method of dual cultivation of qi and blood on the way to Wuhun City.

The melodious and seductive sounds of "a single dragon's roar and two phoenixes' cries" kept Lan Yin awake at night, and his dark circles under his eyes became much heavier.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

Tang San has already made some progress in the method of cultivating both Qi and Blood. Among them, Guang Ling has benefited the most. Most of her jade bones have been refined, and she only needs her skull and spine to be able to forge a set of jade bones that can continuously improve as her Qi, Blood and Soul Power increase, just like Xiao Wu.

With Tang San's help, Xiao Wu also used her Qi and blood to temper her internal organs and open up the meridians in her spine. Although she did not cultivate her Divine Treasury to perfection, she condensed the power of her Qi and blood in her lower dantian, causing her physical strength to surge.

In this way, they can last longer in their battles and contests with Tang San.

However, Xiao Wu was still very dissatisfied with the fact that she could only last a little longer.

"Third Brother, how about we have a one-on-one match after I've finished cultivating Jade Bone, Divine Treasure, and Golden Skin?" Xiao Wu said with a grin. "Guang Ling will be the referee, and if I can't hold on, she can step in."

Guangling blushed deeply upon hearing Xiaowu's bold words.

She knew perfectly well what Xiao Wu meant by "competition"!

Is it really okay to say something like this in front of Lan Yinzi?

What else can Lan Yinzi do?

I can only pretend that I didn't hear anything, didn't understand anything, and knew nothing.
