Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 226 Tang San and his disciples enter the City of Slaughter

Rakshasa controlled Tang San with his divine sense as he jumped off the cliff. He only released control when Tang San was a few meters above the ground, handing over the initiative to Tang San.

"Ah ah..."

Tang San snapped out of his daze and, seeing himself plummeting downwards, immediately realized he was doomed.

"Smack."

"I'm not dead."

Tang San fell to the ground, and the intense pain made him feel that he was still alive.

"Hehehe...! Tang San, with me here, you'll have a hard time dying even if you want to. But you'd better leave here quickly, or those Title Douluos from the Clear Sky Sect will come looking for you."

Just then, Tang San heard the cackling voice of the Rakshasa God in his mind, reminding him to leave quickly.

"Swish..."

Upon hearing Rakshasa's warning, Tang San immediately fled the place.

"Lord Rakshasa, may I speak to you about the gods?"

Tang San was very curious about this idea of ​​a god, and the power that the Rakshasa God had given him was too great. With the power of a god, he could destroy the Spirit Hall, Ye Liangchen, the Clear Sky Sect, and all those people in the future.

"Hehehe...! Tang San, God is equivalent to the realm of a Soul Master in this world after breaking through level 100..."

"Tang San, the Rakshasa God is the god who controls negative emotions. If you want to become stronger, you have to do evil deeds and create slaughter. You have to go to the City of Slaughter now and do evil things, hehehe..."

Rakshasa God was overjoyed to have finally found such a successor, so he started to teach Tang San about gods and tried to persuade him to go to the City of Slaughter. He wanted Tang San to cause trouble there for a while before opening the Rakshasa Secret Realm for him.

"Hehehe...! Lord Rakshasa, what kind of place is the City of Slaughter?"

Upon hearing the name "Slaughter City," Tang San knew it couldn't be a good place, and he needed to learn more about it before going.

"The City of Slaughter is the dojo of the Asura God and also my mortal enemy... However, it has long been corrupted by my Rakshasa God power. Now, everyone in there is a fallen one. Your first test as a Rakshasa God is to do evil things with those fallen ones."

Rakshasa God explained the rules of Slaughter City to Tang San and then gave him the first test from Rakshasa God. However, he didn't tell Tang San what evil things he was supposed to do, but that he would give this guy a surprise when they arrived in Slaughter City.

"Lord Rakshasa, since soul skills cannot be used in the City of Slaughter, I need to forge some weapons first in order to survive in the City of Slaughter."

Upon hearing that the City of Slaughter was so dangerous, Tang San knew he needed to forge hidden weapons to arm himself, so he quickly left the valley and fled the territory of the Clear Sky Sect.

"Do as you please! Just call me in your mind if you need anything," Rakshasa said calmly in his divine sense, and then fell asleep.

Previously, Tang San had violated the rules and killed someone during the Soul Master Competition, and all of his hidden weapons were confiscated by Salas. Now, he has no hidden weapons on him, which makes him feel unsafe. He must forge hidden weapons before he dares to venture out alone.

Shortly after Tang San left the valley, Tang Xiao and several elders of the Clear Sky Sect also went down into the valley to check whether Tang San was dead or alive.

After searching around, they found no trace of Tang San, and everyone felt that something was very wrong.

"Elders, we have forced out a demon. The Haotian Sect is now in danger."

Tang Xiao looked at the elders and recalled the harsh words Tang San had uttered when he jumped off the cliff. He worried that that day would really come.

"Sect Master, what are you worried about? That beast is just a mere Soul King. What ability does he have to destroy our Clear Sky Sect?"

The Seventh Elder, Lieyang Douluo, was unimpressed. As a Title Douluo, he was not afraid of anything.

"Seventh Brother, we went too far this time. Tang San may have received the inheritance of a god, otherwise he would not have been able to break out of our encirclement at all."

The Second Elder reprimanded Lieyang Douluo. Lieyang Douluo was one of the main instigators of Tang San's descent into darkness. He punished Tang Hao and his son by making them kneel and kowtow for three days, and even stripped Tang Hao's left arm soul bone in front of Tang San. This series of actions made Tang San hate the Clear Sky Sect to the extreme, thus causing the sect to turn to the dark side.

"Hatred is a double-edged sword. Ever since Tang San came to the sect, we have all shown him disgust and dislike. We treat him this way, and he hates us in return. The Seventh Elder's attack on Brother Hao was the main factor that led him to fall into depravity."

Tang Xiao was filled with regret at this moment; this was simply a case of shooting himself in the foot!

According to Tang Hao, although Tang San's other Blue Silver Grass spirit could no longer be cultivated, the first four spirit rings of his Clear Sky Hammer spirit were all around 8000 years old. This combination surpassed anyone else in the sect. Yet, the sect stood by and watched as such a genius was forced into becoming an enemy. What kind of nonsense is this?

"Sect Master, it's all Tang Hao's fault. I propose that we kill Tang Hao as a sacrifice for those who died in the sect."

Lieyang Douluo refused to admit any wrongdoing, claiming that his actions against Tang Hao were merely an attempt to seek justice.

"Seventh Brother, shut up! Haven't you caused enough trouble already?"

"That kid jumped off a cliff two thousand meters high and didn't die. He must have received divine blessings. If we kill Tang Hao now, Tang San will definitely come after us when he finds out. At that time, no one from the Clear Sky Sect will escape unscathed."

The Second Elder felt that not only should Tang Hao not be killed now, but he should be treated with respect. If Tang San came to kill him in the future, Tang Hao might be used to restrain Tang San.

"The two pieces of soul bone that Haodi was separated from need to be reattached to him."

"The Clear Sky Sect is now facing a formidable enemy on the surface—the Spirit Hall—and secretly, Tang San. They're truly besieged on all sides!"

"I hope the Haotian Sect can escape this calamity! Otherwise, we won't be able to face our ancestors after we die."

Tang Xiao sighed deeply and then returned to his sect. At that moment, he felt that he was a very humiliating sect leader.

"Big brother, how's the mistress?"

Upon seeing Tang Xiao and his group return to the sect, Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua immediately came forward and anxiously inquired.

"Xiao San has disappeared. He must have obtained the inheritance of a god. With his current hatred for the sect, the sect is in grave danger and may very well perish."

Tang Xiao calmly expressed his concerns, praying in his heart that that day would never come.

"How could this happen?"

Tang Hao suddenly fell to the ground, feeling deeply regretful for bringing Tang San back to the sect.

"You've forcibly turned a genius into an enemy, are you satisfied now?"

"Waaaaah..."

Tang Yuehua looked at the Haotian Sect members with tears streaming down her face. Recalling the harsh words Tang San uttered when he jumped off the cliff, she knew how much hatred that child harbored for the sect. She guessed that the Haotian Sect was doomed.

The Clear Sky Sect's move to turn one of their sect's geniuses into an enemy is truly remarkable.

At this moment, everyone lowered their proud heads, recalling the power Tang San unleashed when he escaped the sect, a power that even a Title Douluo couldn't withstand. Before a god, everyone was just a mortal.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought my mistress back to the sect."

"Swish..."

Tang Hao immediately took out a knife, preparing to commit suicide as an atonement.

"Bang…"

"Tang Hao, you can't die. Tang San fell into evil because of you. If you die, he'll think we killed you. When he comes to kill us, no one in the Clear Sky Sect will escape unscathed."

The Second Elder reacted swiftly, knocking the knife out of Tang Hao's hand. Tang Hao was the trump card to restrain Tang San in the future, and he couldn't afford to get hurt.

"Yes! Tang Hao, you can't die now." Several other elders also immediately came forward to persuade him, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Brother Hao, reabsorb the soul bone you previously separated and take good care of your injuries."

Tang Xiao took out the soul bone that Tang Hao had previously removed and had him put it back in.

"Waaaaah..."

Tang Yuehua felt incredibly heartbroken seeing the elders who had previously hated her second brother so much, but now they were groveling like dogs, begging him to live. She cried and returned to her room.

Tang Yuehua then packed her things and asked Tang Xiao to take her down the mountain back to Yuexuan so that she could gather information.

……

After escaping the territory of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang San disguised himself and spent more than ten days traveling to the capital of the Duchy of Norin in the eastern part of the Heaven Dou Empire. There, he found a large blacksmith shop and spent two months re-forging the Zhuge Crossbow, the Sleeve Arrow, the Flying Claw, and the Shadow Shot with Killing Power.

However, Tang San was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't forge the most top-tier hidden weapons, such as the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, and the Peacock Feather.

"Lord Rakshasa, can you help me now? I want to kill Bibi Dong and Ye Liangchen."

After equipping himself with hidden weapons, Tang San summoned the power of the Rakshasa in his mind, intending to use divine power to kill Bibi Dong and Ye Liangchen to avenge Xiao Wu and his father. As for the Clear Sky Sect, he would have to become stronger before attacking them.

"Hehehe...! Tang San, I forgot to tell you, that Ye Liangchen is also a successor of a god. I can't help you deal with him, otherwise the god behind him will come after me. As for Bibi Dong, don't even think about it now. Her soul power is already level 98, and the Spirit Hall also has another demigod powerhouse. If you go now, you'll die. The Spirit Hall also has the successor of the Angel God. Angels and Rakshasa are enemies. Wait until you become stronger, then go and fight your way up yourself."

"Don't try to rely on me for everything. What I have left within you is merely a divine thought, bound by the rules of the divine realm. I cannot act arbitrarily. Let me explain the rules to you... Now you must become stronger yourself to compete with the successors of other gods. Otherwise, I will choose a new successor. Do you understand?"

Rakshasa God solemnly warned Tang San not to have any unrealistic ideas. Although this kid was wicked enough, his character was not very good. If he hadn't wanted to run away, he wouldn't have come looking for this guy.

"Ye Liangchen is also a successor of the gods?"

Tang San now understood why he had lost so badly to Ye Liangchen in the Soul Master Competition. The Spirit Hall had the Angel God, but he couldn't go there now; it seemed he had to wait until he became stronger.

"Lord Rakshasa, compared to you, who is the more powerful god behind Ye Liangchen?"

Tang San asked Rakshasa God, since they were all inheritors of the gods and would inevitably face each other in the future, so he wanted to find out more first.

"Hehehe...! Of course... this god is the most powerful."

At this moment, Rakshasa God had a question in his mind, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not. Since he couldn't tell the truth, he could only lie to Tang San and say that he was more powerful than the god behind Ye Liangchen.

"Lord Rakshasa God, my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is ruined. Could you help me evolve it? And how should I cultivate twin Martial Souls?"

"Huh! Why has the Blue Silver Grass turned out like this?"

Tang San originally wanted Rakshasa God to help him evolve his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, but when he summoned the martial soul, he found that the Blue Silver Grass martial soul had changed. It was no longer soft and fluffy, but had turned black, and its leaves were covered with magic patterns, making it look very powerful.

"Hehehe...! Tang San, your Blue Silver Grass martial soul should now be called Demon Pattern Vine, which is a top-tier plant martial soul."

"Take another look at your hammer spirit weapon. It's covered in black magic runes. Now you have to call it the Rakshasa Hammer."

"Tang San, cultivating twin martial souls requires divine power to harmonize them. With me here, you don't need to worry about anything. Now you can confidently cultivate the Demonic Vine Martial Soul. Work hard! I have high hopes for you, hehehehe..."

Rakshasa could easily solve Tang San's problem of having twin martial souls with his divine power.

"Swish..."

"That was awesome!"

Tang San tried out the Demonic Vine Martial Soul and discovered that it could also absorb life force to increase his cultivation level. This made him very happy, so he immediately rushed to Sunset Forest, found a ten-thousand-year-old Black Nether Vine Soul Beast, hunted it down, and used it as the fifth Soul Ring for the Demonic Vine, raising his Soul Power to level 53.

"Hehehe...! This feels really good."

Feeling the immense power brought by the ten-thousand-year spirit ring, Tang San revealed an evil smile.

"Lord Rakshasa God, could you please help my teacher evolve his martial soul?"

Seeing how easily Rakshasa God had helped him resolve the issue of cultivating twin martial souls, Tang San wanted Rakshasa God to help his teacher.

"Tang San, just bring your teacher to the City of Slaughter so he can train with you, hehehehe..."

Seeing how much Tang San cared about his teacher, Rakshasa decided to arrange it for him. Besides, Yu Xiaogang's soul had also fallen, so he decided to let the master and disciple fall together.

Rakshasa had already devised a series of wicked tests for Tang San.

It's just for fun, anyway! Hehehe...

"Thank you, Lord Rakshasa."

With Rakshasa God's permission, Tang San quickly went to Heaven Dou City and found out that Flander, Yu Xiaogang and others were still at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. So he directly asked the gatekeeper to notify Yu Xiaogang.

As for Flander and Zhao Wuji, Tang San didn't want to see them, fearing they would ask too many questions.

"Where have you been all this time, mistress?"

When Yu Xiaogang learned that Tang San had become a Soul King after leaving the academy, his heart seemed to be filled with hope again.

"Teacher, I have received the inheritance of a god. Please come with me to a place where I can help you break through level 30."

Tang San used his soul power to force sound into a line and transmitted it to Yu Xiaogang, telling him about his extraordinary encounter and even promising Yu Xiaogang a rosy future.

"Okay! I'll leave with you right away."

Given such an opportunity, Yu Xiaogang left without hesitation to avoid being constantly gossiped about behind his back.

"Third Brother..."

As Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were leaving, they happened to run into Ma Hongjun, who was returning to the academy from outside.

"Fatty,..."

Tang San shook his head helplessly when he saw Ma Hongjun's current appearance. This guy had gotten even fatter, probably weighing around 300 jin (150 catties). Due to the influence of the evil fire, his cultivation speed was extremely slow, and he had only reached level 39 so far.

"Hehehe...! Tang San, take Fatty with you and let him cultivate with you. It will be helpful for your future."

Just then, Rakshasa's divine sense rang in Tang San's mind. Upon discovering that Ma Hongjun's martial soul actually possessed evil fire, he smirked and immediately arranged for Tang San to bring Fatty along.

"Fatty, I have received the inheritance of the gods and have a way to help you solve your problem of evil fire. Come with me, but you are not allowed to tell anyone, not even the dean."

Tang San obeyed Rakshasa God's arrangements very well, so he immediately sent a telepathic message to Fatty Ma, inviting him to join his camp.

"Ah! Third Brother, is this true?" Ma Hongjun felt like a pie had fallen from the sky and hit him.

"Absolutely true." Tang San nodded.

"Third Brother, thank you. I'll go and talk to the teacher."

Ma Hongjun excitedly approached Flander, expressing his desire to venture out into the world, and subsequently applied to graduate from the Heavenly Dou Emperor Academy.

"Hongjun, then you should be careful."

Flander saw that Fatty Ma was eager to go out and explore, and thought it was a good thing. He didn't ask Fatty Ma where he was going to explore, since the kid had grown up and should have his own life.

Following the guidance of the Rakshasa God, Tang San, along with Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun, secretly made their way northeast of Tian Dou City.

More than ten days later, they arrived at a desolate town. Following the instructions of the Rakshasa God, Tang San bought three cups of Yellow Spring Dew at a shop and drank them. He then asked the waiter to open the entrance to the City of Slaughter and led Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun inside.

With Rakshasa's guidance, Tang San did not clash with the fallen ones in the shop.

Ma Hongjun was fat as a ball and sleazy, while Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were ugly and had gloomy faces. They were obviously not good people, and the degenerates regarded them as their peers.

"Swish..."

The three jumped down into the dark cave entrance, walked through a long passage, and soon arrived at an underground world where red and purple colors intertwined.

"Welcome to the City of Slaughter. Here you can get anything you want, but the price is your life."

"These are your number plates. Keep walking straight ahead to the capital, where someone will come to meet you."

Just then, the Dread Knights enforcement team arrived in front of the three men and threw several signs at them.

Tang San's number is 9438, Yu Xiaogang's is 9437, and Ma Hongjun's is 9436.

Since Tang San and his companions entered the City of Slaughter according to the normal rules, the Terror Knight Enforcement Team did not stop them; on the contrary, they welcomed the three of them.

Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun were completely bewildered and very curious about this underground world. Tang San was a little better, since he had already learned some things about the City of Slaughter from Rakshasa God.

Wow! What a beautiful woman!

When the three arrived at the outskirts of a black city, a beautiful young woman with dark makeup suddenly appeared, causing Ma Hongjun's lust to surge uncontrollably.

"Swish..."

The woman glared coldly at Fatty Ma, and her powerful killing intent immediately extinguished Fatty Ma's anger.

"Hongjun, be careful," Yu Xiaogang reminded Fatty Ma, urging him not to cause trouble.

"Welcome to the group, please follow me." The woman gestured for the three to join her.

"Dear Madam, may I ask how the City of Slaughter came to be?" Yu Xiaogang asked curiously.

"The City of Slaughter has existed for over a thousand years. Legend has it that it was the dojo left behind by a powerful being who became a god..."

The woman in black proceeded to explain the rules of the Killing City to the three of them.

"We can't get out? Does that mean we're stuck here forever?"

When Yu Xiaogang and Fatty Ma heard how dangerous the Killing City was and that they couldn't get out, they were dumbfounded, feeling like they had been tricked to death by Tang San.

"Rakshasa God, are we stuck here?" Tang San asked Rakshasa God in his mind.

"Hehehe...! Tang San, with me here, what are you worried about?" Rakshasa God said dismissively.

"Fatty, teacher, we can only become stronger in here. Don't worry about anything else."

Tang San reminded the two not to worry about getting out, since they were already here, they should at least see the world of Slaughter City.
