Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 230 Tang Chen's Bad Luck

Seeing Ye Liangchen laughing so exaggeratedly, the Killer was very curious about what kind of trauma those three people had experienced outside that made them have such a hobby.

"Do you know those three fallen ones?" the Slaughterer asked Ye Liangchen.

"Of course we know them, and we're very familiar with them."

"The three of them got their brains damaged by a door outside, which is why they became so perverted. Now they're training with those fallen ones, which is a good thing. They're bringing you a lot of fun every day."

Ye Liangchen spoke nonsense with a straight face, just to appease the Slaughter Messenger. After all, this was Tang San's divine test content, and he couldn't just tell others about it.

"Yes! Ever since those three arrived, they've been frequently seeking out those fallen ones to cultivate with for the past six months, which is truly unbelievable."

The Slaughterer chuckled, speechless at what the handsome young man had said. What did he mean, "Did your brain get caught in a door?" He was clearly lying, but there was no point in asking any further questions.

"Your Excellency God of Slaughter, please wait here while I go and inform the King of Slaughter."

Upon arriving at the center of the inner city, the Slaughter Envoy said something to Bibi Dong before heading towards a palace in the distance. After all, the Slaughter King had a particular fondness for summoning Tang San and Yu Xiaogang to the palace frequently, and hadn't favored her for half a year. She dared not disturb him casually now.

As soon as the Slaughterer left, the Fallen Ones began to stir, their faces revealing bloodthirsty expressions as they looked at Ye Liangchen and his companions.

"Ahhh..."

When the messenger arrived outside the palace of the King of Slaughter, he was immediately startled and retreated by the sounds coming from inside the palace.

"The King of Slaughter is training with those two Fallen Ones again. He used to only train once a month, but now it's happening more and more frequently. He calls those two to train almost every day. What kind of hobby is that?"

The envoy muttered a complaint to herself, shook her head helplessly, and quickly left. She dared not disturb the King of Slaughter's peculiar preferences.

"Bang bang..."

Just then, on the Hell's Killing Arena stage in the center of the inner city, a life-or-death melee was taking place.

"Ahhh..."

A dozen minutes later, only two men remained on the stage; the others lay dead in pools of blood.

Shortly after the Fallen Ones died, streams of soul power emanated from their bodies and drifted toward the groove in the center of the arena, as did the blood.

"Bang bang..."

The last two surviving men, a two-meter-tall strong man and a short but strong man, fought each other using spiked clubs, and the scene was extremely bloody.

"Hehehe...! Great Demon Bear, take down the wild boar."

"Wow...!"

In the stands beside the ring, many fallen men watched with bated breath, shouting wildly.

"Bang bang..."

"Ah ah..."

With a single, devastating move, the "Great Demon Bear" crushed the "Wild Boar" to death.

"Big Demonic Bear...Big Demonic Bear..."

Countless Fallen Ones roared wildly upon seeing the Great Demon Bear's contestant win, their faces revealing bloodlust.

"Congratulations to Big Bear on his victory, this is his 21st win."

"Big Demonic Bear...Big Demonic Bear..."

As the host's excited voice rang out, the audience erupted in frenzied cheers.

"Isn't this just a prison life-or-death combat tournament?"

Ye Liangchen watched the Hell's Life and Death Arena match and felt it was similar to a scene from a movie he had seen in his previous life.

"Godmother, it must have been tough for you to come here and venture out for the sake of a God of Slaughter Domain back then!"

Ye Liangchen found it hard to believe that Bibi Dong, a mere woman, was able to fight her way out of the encirclement back then; it was truly remarkable.

"Xiao Chen! Back then, I also turned hatred into motivation to grit my teeth and persevere. Now that I think about it, I don't even know how I got through it. In your words, 'No madness, no life.'"

Bibi Dong felt that with her current mindset and the strength she had back then, she simply couldn't get through the Hell Road.

"You've really suffered."

Shui Lanxin reached out and grasped Bibi Dong's hands, feeling both sorry for the woman and admiring her greatly.

"The past is gone."

"Thank you for saving me from hell and filling my life with sunshine."

The moment Bibi Dong's hand was held by Shui Lanxin, she was deeply moved and excitedly opened her arms, embracing Ye Liangchen and Shui Lanxin tightly.

Bibi Dong's action attracted the attention of the other fallen ones, who all revealed wolf-like eyes and gradually walked towards her.

Without the killers around, the fallen ones began to grow bolder.

"Newcomers have arrived! Two stunning beauties and a handsome young man—all three are mine. Don't even think about taking them from me. Hehehe..."

The man nicknamed "Big Demon Bear" had just stepped out of the arena when he saw Ye Liangchen and his two companions. His eyes immediately turned bloodthirsty and greedy, and he let out a cackling laugh. He then immediately walked towards the three of them.

"None of you should make a move; let me try."

Ye Liangchen told the two women not to make a move, and prepared to test his self-created skills to see how effective they were.

"Buzzing..."

"Frost Palm"

Ye Liangchen mobilized the power of ice elements and swiftly struck the giant demon bear, freezing it into a human-shaped icicle.

Frozen in extreme ice, the Great Demon Bear's blood immediately stopped flowing, turning him into a living dead.

"Ten thousand leaves fly and flowers flow."

"Swish...bang bang..."

Ye Liangchen formed hand gestures, conjuring green leaves that rushed towards the humanoid ice stick, quickly shattering it into ice shards.

As expected, the field of the Slaughter City only restricted the skills of the Soul Rings, and had no effect on self-created skills, nor on Soul Bone skills.

"What... what kind of skills did he have? The Great Demon Bear was also at the Soul King level, yet he was instantly killed by him."

"No spirit rings, not even a martial spirit? Could it be a spirit bone skill?"

Ye Liangchen annihilated the man with the Great Demon Bear with overwhelming force, instantly leaving the other Fallen Ones dumbfounded.

"How can he be so powerful?"

Everyone initially thought this guy was just a handsome but weak man, but it turned out he was a super strong guy.

Come here!

"What? Got scared? You still call yourselves Hell Warriors? In my eyes, you're just a bunch of stinking rats and trash."

Ye Liangchen waved to the other fallen ones and even mocked them.

"I can't hold back anymore." The two Fallen Ones brandished their long swords and slashed at Ye Liangchen.

"Blazing Palm"

"Huff huff..."

Just as the two were within three meters of each other, Ye Liangchen activated his Blazing Palm again, engulfing them in flames.

"Ah ah..."

The intense heat caused the two men to burst into flames, and in no time, they were reduced to ashes.

"The City of Slaughter only restricts the skills of the Soul Rings, so for Xiao Chen, it's as if there are no restrictions."

"Your Holiness, it seems we'll have to learn the ice and fire skills as soon as possible."

Shui Lanxin and Bibi Dong watched Ye Liangchen effortlessly deal with these fallen individuals, feeling very gratified.

"How...how does he have fire-attribute skills?"

"Ice and flames at the same time, what kind of monster is this?"

The three Fallen Ones were easily killed by Ye Liangchen, which immediately dissuaded the other Fallen Ones from their plans, so they quickly left.

The Slaughterer, who was watching all this from a distance, was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. She hadn't expected this handsome young man to be so powerful.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Slaughter is currently unavailable and cannot meet with the three of you."

The Slaughterer approached Ye Liangchen and his companions and expressed his apologies.

"What is the King of Slaughter doing?" Ye Liangchen asked curiously.

"This...this..."

The envoy was embarrassed to say that the King of Slaughter was undergoing special training, and he stammered, looking very awkward.

"Buzzing..."

Seeing that the other party didn't want to talk, Ye Liangchen simply closed his eyes and used his divine sense to probe into the distant palace, wanting to see what the King of Slaughter was doing.

Bibi Dong and Shui Lanxin saw Ye Liangchen close his eyes and knew that the little guy was preparing to use his spiritual power to spy on the King of Slaughter. The two women immediately protected the little guy in the middle to prevent the Slaughter Envoy from disturbing him.

"Holy crap! That's amazing..."

As soon as Ye Liangchen probed into the palace with his divine sense, he was immediately stunned by the scene inside.

No wonder the Slaughter Envoy was stammering and embarrassed to say anything; it turns out that the old bat was sparring with Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.

The fact that the King of Slaughter could have such a hobby must be the work of the Rakshasa God. It seems she deliberately wanted to disgust the Asura God.

"Pfft...! Haha..."

After Ye Liangchen withdrew his divine sense, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Xiao Chen, what did you see?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.

"Godmother, what is Chrysanthemum Douluo's ninth soul skill?" Ye Liangchen asked Bibi Dong, pretending to be interested.

"Chrysanthemums wither, leaving only scars on the ground; fallen petals break one's heart."

Bibi Dong explained Chrysanthemum Douluo's ninth soul skill, but she didn't understand why the little guy was asking this question.

"Tang San and Yu Xiaogang are currently cultivating in the palace of the King of Slaughter. The scene is so grand that it can only be described using Chrysanthemum Douluo's ninth soul skill, haha..."

Ye Liangchen described to the two women the scene he saw with his divine sense.

"Oh my god! This...! Haha..."

Upon hearing the little one's description, Bibi Dong and Shui Lanxin burst into laughter, completely forgetting about their image.

"You...you can see the King of Slaughter and those two Fallen Ones cultivating?"

The Slaughterer's head was buzzing. Just what kind of monster was this handsome young man?

"Beautiful lady! Would you like to rule the entire Killing City?" Ye Liangchen asked the envoy.

"Ah...! What did you say?" The envoy was dumbfounded. She dreamed of ruling the entire Killing City.

"Beautiful lady, the current King of Slaughter isn't human; it's a 100,000-year-old blood-red nine-headed bat. We'll help you get rid of that old bat and make you the top dog in the Slaughter City. How about it? Interested?"

Ye Liangchen has laid his cards on the table with the Slaughterer; with such a tempting offer, the other party is sure to be interested.

"The King of Slaughter isn't human? Is that really true?"

The messenger's head was buzzing again; the news this handsome young man brought was too shocking.

"It is absolutely true. I am the successor of God and I know all about these things."

"Beautiful lady, you're living a miserable life, always so subservient to a 100,000-year-old bat. From now on, you are the true ruler of the Killing City."

Ye Liangchen estimated that after Bibi Dong obtained the Asura Divine Sword, she might become the true King of Slaughter. Therefore, he suggested she appoint Slaughter Envoys to manage the Slaughter City, which would solve the problem. Later, he could purify the Rakshasa divine power that had corrupted the Slaughter City, turning it into a true prison instead of its current chaotic state.

"Trust him, and you'll live a much better life than you do now." Bibi Dong patted the envoy on the shoulder, reassuring the woman.

"Let's go! Let's go see the King of Slaughter."

After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he directly beckoned the girls to walk towards the palace in the distance, intending to give the King of Slaughter a surprise.

The messenger snapped out of her daze and immediately followed. She was naturally happy to kill the King of Slaughter, since living under his tyranny for so long was truly suffocating.

"Xiao Chen, should we make a move now?"

Bibi Dong understood that the little guy planned to take advantage of the old bat's engrossed playtime and make his move.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong was secretly overjoyed: This little guy is so naughty! But I like him.

Shui Lanxin also agreed with the little guy's method. There was no need to talk about morality when dealing with a 100,000-year-old ferocious soul beast.

"Strike while the iron is hot. Facing a ferocious and evil 100,000-year-old soul beast, do you really want to fight it fair and square? That would be insane."

Ye Liangchen sent a telepathic message to Bibi Dong and Shui Lanxin, telling them to get ready.

"Hehehe..."

Inside the palace, the King of Slaughter was focused on his cultivation, constantly emitting cackling laughter.

As a 100,000-year-old evil soul beast, it experienced a different kind of evil cultivation with two fallen beings during this period, which made it uncontrollable. It was so engrossed in cultivation that it couldn't extricate itself and even stopped caring about the City of Slaughter.

"Buzzing..."

With a thought, Ye Liangchen summoned a Barrett sniper rifle in his hand, then jumped onto a high platform, activated the infrared scanner, and checked the situation inside the palace.

"Swish..."

Shui Lanxin immediately jumped up and stood guard beside Ye Liangchen.

"Bang…"

Ye Liangchen fired a shot directly at the King of Slaughter's right leg. The armor-piercing explosive round entered through the window crack and hit the target.

"Bang…"

"ah…"

When the armor-piercing explosive round hit the King of Slaughter, it blew off his right leg and instantly reduced his soul power by ten levels.

"Bang…"

"ah…"

Taking advantage of his weakness, Ye Liangchen swiftly fired another shot into the man's left leg, shattering it once more.

"Ah...! Who is it?"

The King of Slaughter unleashed his power, his immense soul force sending Tang San and Yu Xiaogang flying.

"Hehehe...! Tang San, Ye Liangchen and Bibi Dong are here, leave quickly." Rakshasa immediately notified Tang San with his divine sense, otherwise this kid might be killed.

"Teacher, let's go quickly."

Tang San immediately grabbed Yu Xiaogang and fled through a door at the back of the palace, not even bothering to put on his clothes, fearing that Ye Liangchen would attack him. Now he understood that the person who broke his father's arms and legs was Ye Liangchen, who used a magical weapon.

"Buzzing..."

Bibi Dong quickly released her first martial soul and nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—and then charged in.

The Slaughter Messenger also rushed in; this was the best opportunity to kill the King of Slaughter.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Abyss Tear Slash".

Bibi Dong rushed into the palace and unleashed a powerful attack on the King of Slaughter.

"Ah ah..."

"Damn it, Rakshasa woman!"

The King of Slaughter had both legs broken by Ye Liangchen's sniper rifle, reducing his strength by 20 levels. He was no match for Bibi Dong's powerful attack and was now like meat on a chopping board.

"King of Slaughter, no! I should call you the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat, today I'm taking your dog's life."

"Sixth Soul Skill, Eternal Creation."

Before the other party could reply, Bibi Dong immediately activated her sixth soul skill and slashed at the other party.

"hiss…"

The blood-red nine-headed bat let out its final scream before dying. Tang Chen regained consciousness, but he was barely clinging to life.

"You killed... the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat?" Tang Chen asked weakly.

"Senior Tang Chen, you have suffered for decades being parasitized by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat. It is time for you to be free."

Ye Liangchen rushed into the palace at this moment, looked at the dying old man on the ground, and immediately revealed the man's identity.

"Young man, you actually know my name?" Tang Chen was stunned.

"Tang Chen, one of the three peerless Douluo, the former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, created the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique and the Nine Absolute Skills of Clear Sky, and also created the Great Void Hammer, a ring-exploding skill that can injure a thousand enemies but destroy eight hundred of them, making the Clear Sky Sect the number one sect in the world. You are the most awesome sect master in the history of the Clear Sky Sect."

"Back then, when you and Qian Daoliu set foot on Seagod Island, you were attracted by the beauty of the Seagod Douluo, Senior Poseidon. The two of you fell in love with Senior Poseidon at the same time. This is called love at first sight. In reality, it was just lusting after her body. But it's normal for heroes to love beautiful women."

"Unfortunately, the other party is the High Priest of Seagod Island, who needs to guard the Seagod Temple and can never leave Seagod Island for the rest of his life. Qian Daoliu, who is also the High Priest of the Angel Temple, cannot be with Poseidon either. Only you have the opportunity, so you made a promise to Senior Poseidon that you would go to find her after you become a god. When you broke into the City of Slaughter, you accidentally obtained the Asura God Test, but at the last moment you were tricked by the Rakshasa God, who used a 100,000-year-old blood-red nine-headed bat to parasitize you, turning you into a neither-human-nor-ghost King of Slaughter, who can never pass the Asura God Test."

"Senior Tang Chen, your life can be considered a legend, but you were unlucky and were tricked by the Rakshasa God. Becoming a god is like a flower in the water or the moon in the mirror for you, something that can only be encountered but not sought."

"Life is unpredictable, the past is like smoke, when the dream ends, everything will vanish. Senior, you should rest in peace now."

Ye Liangchen slowly recounted Tang Chen's life story, also to prevent the other party from launching a sneak attack with the Asura Divine Sword at the last minute.

"Young man, how do you know about my life's deeds?"

Tang Chen was startled by Ye Liangchen's words, feeling that this young man was like a god.

The Slaughter Envoy was completely petrified, never expecting that the King of Slaughter would actually be Tang Chen, one of the three peerless Douluo.

"I am also a successor of the gods. The god behind me has told me a lot about Douluo Star, including about you."

Ye Liangchen was spouting nonsense with a straight face; whether people believed him or not was their business.

"Young man, you're right. I'm unlucky. Becoming a god is like a flower in the water or the moon in the mirror for me."

"You killed this 100,000-year-old blood-red nine-headed bat, which can be considered a relief for me. I don't blame you."

"This little hammer of mine is the Haotian Token. Please deliver it to the Haotian Sect. This is my last request before I die."

Tang Chen sighed, then laboriously took out a small golden hammer and asked Ye Liangchen for help.

"Don't worry, senior, we will help you hand it over to the Haotian Sect," Bibi Dong said to Tang Chen, so that he wouldn't die with regrets.

"Thank you." After saying this, Tang Chen breathed his last.

"Buzzing..."

Just then, the red light on Tang Chen's body condensed into a blood-red soul ring, and then a blood-red longsword floated out.

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen flashed forward, grabbed the Asura Demon Sword, and put it into his game inventory, first cutting off the Asura God's connection.

After accepting Tang Chen's golden hammer and seven soul bones, Bibi Dong began to summon her second martial soul and absorb the 100,000-year soul ring.
