In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

Especially Lan Si, if he achieves a hundred consecutive victories and passes through the Hell Road, he will break the record that has been held by the number one for nearly a thousand years and become the person who has become the God of Slaughter in the shortest time in the City of Slaughter.

Compared to when he first arrived, Lan Si's expression had become colder, his dark blue pupils were tinged with blood red, and even his body exuded a faint smell of blood. A chilling aura of bloodlust quietly permeated his entire being.

Cold-blooded, bloodthirsty, brutal... any word that can describe an extremely evil person has become synonymous with him.

This wasn't something he deliberately faked; rather, it was because he had killed hundreds or thousands of people in the Slaughter City and was affected by the city's murderous aura.

This is what is known as murderous intent.

The moment he stepped out of the Hell Slaughter Arena, the previously high-spirited Fallen Ones in the stands fell silent. Some Fallen Ones who were closer to the Hell Slaughter Arena, fearing to anger this god of death, rushed forward to make way for Lan Si, creating a huge passage tens of meters wide.

Lan Si did not rush to leave. He simply glanced coldly at the fallen ones around him, startling them. Then he looked at a huge gate not far away.

That's another arena in the Hell's Killing Arena, and that's where Hu Liena competes.

With a creak, the door opened, and Hu Liena, whose eyes were now almost bloodshot and whose aura was clearly affected by her own killing intent, slowly walked out.

When she looked at Lan Si, who was waiting for her, the redness in her eyes faded slightly, and she regained her clarity.

"Thank you." Hu Liena walked up to Lan Si and gave him a graceful bow. She knew that without Lan Si, she would never have been able to get to this point, and even if she had, it would have been extremely difficult to achieve a ninety-seven-game winning streak in just one year. With the victory she just won, that makes it ninety-eight games in total.

"No need to thank me. Your teacher promised to protect the person most important to me, and I'm protecting the disciple she values ​​most. It's only fair. If you want to thank someone, thank your teacher." Lan Si turned around indifferently and said as he walked away, "Let's go. You still have two matches to go. You need to take the time to rest. I'll participate in the last match on the same day as you."

"Oh..." Hu Liena responded, a hint of disappointment flashing across her beautiful eyes.

"If you want to thank someone, thank your teacher," this was probably the sentence Lan Si had said to her most often over the past year. At other times, he was basically silent and never communicated with her.

She didn't know what she had done to offend the other party. The other party seemed to be intentionally distancing themselves from her. Every time she tried to get closer and talk to them, she was dismissed with a "seize the time to cultivate".

The two were caught up in this delicate relationship, seeing each other all the time, and spent a year together.

A year has passed. Because Tang San from the original story no longer absorbs her life force, her soul power has increased from level 54 to level 57 under intense life-and-death battles. Although it's only three levels, at the Soul King stage, being able to increase by two levels per year already makes one an extremely talented individual, let alone three levels.

After all, whether in the original story or now, she has never taken any immortal herbs.

Lan Si's soul power remained at level 50 because he had not yet obtained his fifth soul ring.

However, she knew that once Lan Si obtained her fifth soul ring, her soul power level wouldn't be much lower than hers. After all, she knew that Lan Si had absorbed a 100,000-year soul bone at level 48. The energy contained in a 100,000-year soul bone was immense; even the two high-quality soul bones she possessed combined might not be comparable.

She had also watched all the competitions that Lan Si had participated in.

Just like in the Soul Master Competition, it was a one-on-one battle against all opponents. Even Soul Douluo level experts, unable to use their Soul Skills, were destined for defeat and death. After defeating their opponents, almost none escaped having their heads smashed open. They were utterly and irrevocably dead.

In Lan Si's words, to prevent his opponent from feigning death and plotting against him, he would only feel at ease if his opponent's head was gone.

Over the past year, she has found herself increasingly unable to understand the other person. And she has grown increasingly curious.

A woman's curiosity about a man is often the beginning of her falling for him.

Yes, just like in the original story, Hu Liena fell for him.

The only slight difference is that the object of affection has changed from Tang San to Lan Si.

With his handsome appearance, unparalleled strength, and wise and calm mind, and who saved her from danger several times, it would be too difficult for Hu Liena, who in the original novel fell in love with Tang San after just watching him compete in the City of Slaughter for a year, not to fall in love.

Unfortunately, this relationship was destined to end in failure, because she knew that Lan Si already had a girlfriend, one of whom was her teacher's daughter. She wouldn't try to steal her away, nor could she win.

.................

In the tallest building in the heart of the inner city of the Killing Capital, in a dark and spacious room.

The King of Slaughter sat on a huge, dark red skull chair made of crystal, holding a glass of blood-red liquid in his hand, which he gently swirled.

"Great King. That man in black robes is truly formidable. Despite his low soul power, even Soul Douluo are no match for him. He seems born to fight. Not only did he just achieve a ninety-nine-game winning streak, but he also indirectly helped the Hell Messenger achieve a ninety-eight-game winning streak. If they win a few more games, the City of Slaughter could be..." A cold yet melodious female voice suddenly echoed in the room. A charming woman in black veil, carrying a vessel filled with blood-red liquid, slowly emerged from the darkness.

“I know.” The King of Slaughter frowned and drank the blood-red liquid in his hand in one gulp.

"Your Majesty, are we just going to sit here and wait to die? They are from the Spirit Hall. If two more Gods of Slaughter appear from the Spirit Hall, it will be a disaster for our City of Slaughter." The woman in black veils refilled the cup of the King of Slaughter.

"Do you think they could possibly make it through the Hell Road?" The King of Slaughter asked coldly, without giving a direct answer.

Reading at midnight

“The messenger of hell probably can’t. But the man in black robes could…” the woman in black asked hesitantly.

"But what?" The King of Slaughter raised his eyebrows.

“Just as his appearance is shrouded in mystery, I always feel that I can’t see through him,” the woman in black veil replied after a moment’s thought.

"Alright, you may leave. That person from the Spirit Hall is not only a God of Slaughter, but also the Pope of the Spirit Hall. He wields immense power, and we cannot afford to offend him. If the man in black robes and the Hell Messenger were to encounter trouble in the City of Slaughter, that would be a true disaster for our City of Slaughter."

A faint wisp of blood-red light flickered in the King of Slaughter's eyes, leaving behind two long, blood-red fire snakes. He murmured, "We can only pray that the black-robed man and the messenger of hell die on the Hell Road under normal circumstances. Otherwise, with two killing gods appearing at the same time, I'm afraid the calamity of the City of Slaughter will also come."

Enough with the filler content from Slaughter City; now we'll move on to the main storyline.

Chapter 265 Tang San Discovers the Disappearance of the External Soul Bone

In a valley surrounded by mountains, a 200-meter waterfall cascades down.

Tang San stood on a perfectly smooth round rock below, enduring the immense force of the waterfall. He had lost count of how many times he had been swept into the pool by the waterfall.

Just like in the original story, Tang San's soul power was sealed by Tang Ritian using the Clear Sky Sect's secret technique, and he practiced the Chaotic Cloak.

One can cultivate even when one cannot use soul power.

The only slight difference is that, since the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot were no longer available for body tempering, the Eight Spider Spears were also absorbed by Lan Si.

Even though he switched to cultivating his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, his physique was still far inferior to that in the original story.

Using an ordinary iron hammer, he could have completed the Chaotic Cloak with eighty-one hammer blows in just three months, but it took him a whole year.

His soul power had already broken through from level 49 to level 50 half a year ago.

*Splash!* As the iron hammer smashed into the waterfall, creating a small splash, the water circulated once and returned to Tang San's head.

Tang San finally revealed a smug smile.

He jumped from the pool onto the bank and shouted excitedly, "Dad...Dad, I did it! I completed eighty-one strikes! Now, can I awaken my Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul?"

Hearing this, Tang Ritian frowned. In just one year, using an ordinary iron hammer, he had swung the Chaotic Cloak 81 times. This was already shorter than the time it had taken him. However, there was no joy on his face. His son possessed two great soul bones and had switched to cultivating the Clear Sky Hammer. His physique was already far superior to his own back then.

In my opinion, my son should be able to finish it in six months at most. Even if it's not perfect, it shouldn't be too bad.

Why did it take a whole year?

"Dad..." Seeing Tang Ritian frowning and not answering, Tang San hesitated for a moment before asking in confusion.

Tang Ritian still didn't turn around, his brows furrowing even more. He approached Tang San, placing his remaining left arm on his son's shoulder. His soul power, reaching level eighty-one, invaded Tang San's body, causing his eyes to widen instantly. "Little San, where's your external soul bone?"

"External soul bone?!" Tang San was slightly taken aback. Recalling the scene of being broken by Lan Si, anger surged into his chest. He replied, "Ever since being broken by Lan Si's second martial soul, there has been no sign of regeneration. Now that so much time has passed and my soul power has been sealed by you, I don't know if I have recovered."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ritian released the seal on Tang San without hesitation and said urgently, "Quickly feel it."

Tang San nodded, closed his eyes slightly, circulated his soul power, and carefully sensed the Eight Spider Soul Bone within his body. As expected, just like half a year ago, he could not sense any trace of the Eight Spider Soul Bone. His face instantly darkened, and he shouted anxiously, "Dad, my Eight Spider Soul Bone has disappeared."

Unlike the other six parts of the soul bone, the external soul bone can be restored after being damaged. It's just that the time it takes varies depending on the extent of the damage. For example, during the promotion competition, four of his spider spears were cut off by Lan Si, and he recovered them in less than half a month.

Later, in the finals, Lan Si broke eight of his bones in one go. At the time, he just thought that it would take longer to recover.

Even if the recovery time is long, it can't possibly take a year for it to grow back. In fact, not a trace of the Eight Spider Soul Bone can be detected.

"External soul bones have self-repairing capabilities. Think carefully again, after Lan Si broke the Eight Spider Soul Bone, did anything else happen?" Tang Ritian suppressed his anger and asked calmly. The improvement from an external soul bone is undoubtedly enormous; it can give a soul master the ability to fight beyond their level.

Now that his son's external soul bone has been destroyed, his future achievements will inevitably be affected, which is unacceptable to him. He was still counting on this son to grow up, destroy the Spirit Hall, and avenge Ah Yin.

"No, ever since Lan Si severed my soul bone, I was rescued by you. I've been with Xiao Wu ever since. Xiao Wu would never hurt me. Even if she did, I would have noticed it without her noticing." Tang San shook his head, answering decisively.

His eyes flickered, and suddenly, as if he had realized something, he shouted excitedly, "It's him! It must be him! It's Lan Si! Lan Si's second spirit was able to break through Xiao Wu's invincible golden body, so it must also have the ability to destroy spirit bones. It must be Lan Si! He destroyed my external spirit bone! That bastard... that beast..."

By the end, Tang San's eyes were covered in blood red, and he was almost driven mad.

Even if he racked his brains, he could never have imagined that his external soul bone, the Eight Spider Lances, was absorbed by Lan Si's Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances, becoming nourishment for the Soul-Devouring Eight Spider Lances. He subconsciously thought that Lan Si's second martial soul had destroyed his external soul bone.

Before the finals began, his key to defeating Lan Si was his twin martial souls and external soul bones.

After Lan Si revealed his twin martial souls, his only advantage was his external soul bone.

Who would have thought that even his external soul bone would be destroyed by Lan Si? How could he not be angry? Enraged? Driven mad?

Tang Ritian's face also darkened completely, and his determination to kill Lan Si became even stronger. This guy was no longer just threatening his son's future, but destroying it. Next time they met, he had to eliminate him completely.

Swallowing the Stars: Sign-in to Become a God

................

The City of Slaughter.

Time flies, and three months of matching have passed.

Lan Si and Hu Liena finally faced their 100th challenge in the Hell Killing Arena.

Boom—As the last opponent was blown off his head by Lan Si's Haotian Bamboo Shoot, the almost tangible killing intent combined with the protective aura generated by Lan Si's technique, forming a huge vortex in the air.

Countless fallen spectators were stunned by the immense killing intent emanating from Lan Si. For a moment, the vast stands fell silent. Everyone held their breath.

Lan Si coldly glanced at the fallen ones around him, then slowly opened the door and stepped out of the enclosed arena.

In his mind, these were all already dead, because he knew that these people would become sacrifices to open the road to hell today.

"Congratulations, mysterious man in black robes. One year and three months. You have broken the record for the fastest 100-win streak in a thousand years." A deep and sharp voice suddenly echoed in the hellish killing field.

Lan Si looked up at the sky above the hellish killing field, where a blood-red figure had appeared at some point.

It was an unusually tall man, dressed in a gray armor covered with blood-red patterns, with a pale face and blood-red pupils that looked extremely eerie.

Chapter 266 Binding Hu Liena

"King of Slaughter, King of Slaughter, King of Slaughter..." The moment he appeared, the entire Hell Slaughter Arena erupted in cheers.

Shouts erupted.
