Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

"Messenger of Hell, spare me..."

"I was wrong, I shouldn't have been so rude, please have mercy..."

"You bitch, you adulterers, you bastards, you're all ruthless..."

“We can seek refuge here, we can seek refuge here…”

"I'm also from the Spirit Hall, we're on the same side..."

……

Inside the arena hall, the intense fire was spreading rapidly. The desiccated corpses on the ground became excellent combustible material, including the chattering creatures still hanging from the ceiling. Yan was burning them all to the ground, intending to completely purify and burn them to ashes.

"Damn it, what are you doing? Are the people from the Spirit Hall really going to break ties with my City of Slaughter? Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

A blood-red figure descended from the sky. Looking at the raging fire that was spreading rapidly, he roared in fury. A layer of blood-red light emanated from his body, extinguishing all the flames in his path.

The figure who arrived was none other than the King of Slaughter. His gaze sharpened and quickly locked onto Hu Liena. He gritted his teeth and said, "Messenger of Hell, you dare to come back? Tell me, what did you do to the City of Slaughter? Tell me..."

When the King of Slaughter saw Bibi Dong beside Hu Liena, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. Then, a red light appeared on his body, and his expression became ferocious again, as if he was about to make a move.

"King of Slaughter, why are you so angry? You want to know what happened in Slaughter City? It's a small matter, I'll tell you."

Yan looked at the furious King of Slaughter above his head and said with a smile, "The reason why the City of Slaughter has undergone this change is because of a rare and precious celestial plant called Snow Swan Kiss."

It is extremely beautiful, yet a rare and wondrous thing. It itself possesses no toxins, but the moment it comes into contact with anything, it multiplies the toxins a thousandfold. Bloody Mary from the Killing City already carries a slow-acting toxin; when mixed with this, the effect is terrifying.

After hearing Yan's explanation, the King of Slaughter became even more agitated. He stared at Hu Liena and roared, "Who did this? Who put it in the blood pool? Was it you, Hell Messenger? You destroyed the City of Slaughter!"

"Tang San did it. Even if it's your newly promoted God of Slaughter, Asura King, only he and Nana have walked the Hell Road during this period. And that guy was never a good person. He got the benefits himself and didn't want more people to get them, so he destroyed the Slaughter City."

Yan smiled and buried Tang San's body with another shovelful of soil. Anyway, the kid was already dead. Besides, what he said was true. It was Tang San who poisoned him. As for the reason, in addition to what he said, there was also the idea of ​​causing trouble for the Spirit Hall.

Tang San probably thought that the City of Slaughter was an important stronghold of the Spirit Hall, since the Spirit Hall had always maintained the city's supplies, and Hu Liena had even come here for trials. After that guy obtained the God of Slaughter Domain, he wanted to cause trouble for the Spirit Hall, so he destroyed this place.

However, Yan had anticipated that Yan would take action. The crucial snow-white swan kiss was something Yan had offered voluntarily, but on the surface, Yan had nothing to do with this. After all, if someone kills someone with a knife, can you say that the knife seller is at fault? Similarly, Yan cannot bear any responsibility for the Slaughter City incident.

The King of Slaughter was now completely frantic, shouting urgently, "That bastard, the Asura King... where is he now? Does he know how to cure the poison? Tell me, tell me..."

"Tang San is dead now. I personally sent him on his way. Who told him to be so ungrateful? He thought he could challenge me just because he had the Killing God Domain. Of course, I had to grind him to dust."

Yan stared at the King of Slaughter and continued to speak with a smile. His slow words made the King of Slaughter even more frantic, "He died outside the exit of Hell Road. Now there's not even ashes left. Even if he had some way to cure the poison, you have no way to get it."

"Bastard, bastard, bastard..."

The King of Slaughter cursed "bastard" several times, then stared intently at Yan, "Since you know about this, you should also know how to cure it, right? Quickly tell me how to get rid of this deadly poison. I can help you open the Hell Road, no need for a hundred consecutive wins, I can make you a God of Slaughter directly and give you the God of Slaughter Domain."

The King of Slaughter's expression grew increasingly ferocious, his voice carrying a seductive quality. A strange crimson mist began to emanate from his body, and Bibi Dong and Hu Liena subconsciously unleashed their own crimson light, their God of Slaughter domains unconsciously activated.

"The Snow Swan Kiss is a legendary celestial product, with no antidote. It is beneficial in itself, but if it is mixed with poison, even the slightest bit of it is enough to be a death sentence."

Yan shook his head and sighed, "You, who have an extremely close relationship with the underground blood pool of the City of Slaughter, are basically doomed. Don't bother struggling."

Speaking of Tang San, he originally wanted to cause trouble for the Spirit Hall. But if he knew that it was he who had completely destroyed his great-grandfather, truly betraying his master and ancestors, I wonder what kind of expression he would have. But it's a pity that he's dead.

Tang Chen, King of Slaughter, your time is almost up. It's time for you to go with him.

"what!"

The King of Slaughter's excited expression froze, and his trembling body shook violently. He stared intently at Yan, clearly not expecting his identity to be exposed.

For so many years, for so many years no one has called him Tang Chen. Although it was the name of the guy he controlled, it also held special meaning for him.

"Tang Chen, how could he look like this? And how could he be so weak?"

Behind Yan, Qian Daoliu walked to the front to observe the King of Slaughter. After careful examination, he still looked incredulous.

The King of Slaughter was far too weak for him, completely failing to match the strength of Tang Chen in his memory. The King of Slaughter was indeed very strong in Slaughter City, easily slaughtering ordinary Title Douluos, but compared to Qian Daoliu, he was like a grasshopper.

Even setting aside Qian Daoliu, he was deeply wary of Tang Hao, who possessed the Killing God Domain. Qian Daoliu was only slightly stronger than a typical level 96, and was no match for the demigod-level Qian Daoliu.

Now that Yan is telling Qian Daoliu that the King of Slaughter was the former Tang Chen, it's really hard for him to believe it. Tang Chen was a veteran Limit Douluo. Even now, with a breakthrough in his thinking, Qian Daoliu wouldn't dare say he could definitely beat the Tang Chen of the past. This guy in front of him is saying that he is Tang Chen, which is completely challenging his worldview.

Yan glanced at the King of Slaughter and said calmly, "He is not the real Tang Chen. It was just that when Tang Chen was taking the Godhood Trial, the Rakshasa Divine Sense used it to ambush and control Tang Chen's body."

It barely managed to control this body, daring not to use Tang Chen's original power much, and even afraid to leave the City of Slaughter. Am I right, Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King?

Suddenly, the King of Slaughter let out a very low but terrifying roar. A huge, blood-red bat-like figure flew out of the blood pool. At the same time, its nine ferocious heads released sonic attacks towards Yan and the others, and countless blood tides surged.

The Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King was frightened by Yan's words. Knowing that the other party knew its true situation and had brought so many powerful people with him, it naturally dared not continue to entangle itself, so it launched an attack directly.

A crimson light surged, completely consuming the blood slaves on the ceiling who had just survived the fire. All the blood in their bodies was instantly drained by the crimson light and then flowed into the body of the crimson nine-headed bat king.

The crimson nine-headed bat king's body emitted bursts of red light, then it quickly flew up and merged with the King of Slaughter, instantly unleashing a fierce blood-red storm that swept up everything in the arena.

"Tang Chen was actually possessed and controlled by a beast. What a ridiculous joke!"

A dazzling golden light erupted from Qian Daoliu's body, blocking the path of the King of Slaughter. There were too many things to settle between him and Tang Chen; he had been waiting for this day for a long time.

They were all three Limit Douluo, and were both enemies and friends. Before Qian Xunji died, Qian Daoliu did not actually have much hostility towards the Haotian Sect.

Qian Xunji's death was a major event that changed the course of events on the continent, and this event ultimately stemmed from Tang Chen's disappearance. If Tang Chen had still been alive, Qian Xunji would never have been able to bring people there, and none of the subsequent events would have occurred.

Qian Daoliu has been searching for Tang Chen's whereabouts for many years, both because of the old grudge and because he wants to witness the final fate of this old rival.

But he never expected that Tang Chen would be controlled by a beast. This was a great humiliation, and he had to correct this mistake.

"Everyone be careful. This guy's Killing God Domain has been upgraded many times. He's like a fish in water in this City of Slaughter. Beware of his sneak attacks."

Bibi Dong suppressed the backlash of killing intent within her body and carefully stood in front of the others to guard against sneak attacks. It was true that the King of Slaughter feared the God of Slaughter Domain, but this guy also had countermeasures. He could trigger the backlash of killing intent from the God of Slaughter Domain and even seize control of the domain.

Even a powerful expert with the Killing God Domain could easily be killed by his trick. Moreover, he has been managing this Killing Capital for many years, and there are probably some special methods he has kept.

"Teacher, I'm fine."

Hu Liena simply shook her head slightly to indicate that she was fine in the face of Bibi Dong's caring gaze. Qian Renxue, watching Bibi Dong's concern for Hu Liena, couldn't help but feel jealous. Her own daughter was right beside her, yet she seemed to have never experienced maternal love.

Faced with the overwhelming force of Qian Daoliu, the King of Slaughter unleashed an unprecedented level of power, as this enraged demigod was truly terrifying.

The intense killing intent formed a special barrier. Being enveloped within it created a sense of chaos. One could not see any figures, but could only vaguely sense the immense killing intent and a blood-red hue.

A large red mist gradually enveloped the room, and bursts of violent collisions of soul power rang out from within the mist, indicating that Qian Daoliu and the King of Slaughter were fighting within it.

Chapter 427 The Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King

"Boom!"

A dazzling golden light pierced through the blood mist, almost completely sweeping away the surrounding darkness and stench.

Qian Daoliu's strength is beyond doubt. Even Tang Chen at his peak was only on par with him. The current King of Slaughter is far inferior to Tang Chen in terms of raw strength. Although he has the support of the City of Slaughter, he cannot gain any advantage.

His right hand shone brightly, and the ever-flowing golden flames condensed into a sacred sword, almost completely dissipating the blood mist around the sword.

The power of the Angelic Domain comes with a purifying effect. If a Soul Master is slashed by a sword, their own Soul Power will be greatly dissipated. In addition, they will suffer from the trauma. Even if they don't die, they will be badly injured.

As for evil beings like the King of Slaughter, unless their evil dark power can reach the level of opposing the holy power of angels, they will be even more severely restrained.

It is obvious that the King of Slaughter is no match for Qian Daoliu's divine power. He is only barely able to fight back thanks to the support of the Slaughter City's resources. However, the Blood Pool, which is the core of the Slaughter City, has encountered a problem. The more intense the attack becomes, the faster the backlash from the blood poison within it will come.

The King of Slaughter moved faster and faster, and the crimson storm swept in all directions as the blood light receded. However, no matter how much filthy blood light he gathered, it could not cause much trouble for Qian Daoliu. He himself also felt an overwhelming pressure.

"You bastard, do you know what you're doing, huh..."

The King of Slaughter screamed in agony from within the blood mist. His strength was now affected by the poison, and he was completely unable to cope with Qian Daoliu's repeated attacks. The continuous burning and consumption by the holy flames made it difficult for him to continue to defend himself.

"Since you're determined to die, then I'll grant your wish..."

The King of Slaughter let out a shrill roar. At this moment, he was extremely angry and wanted to destroy everything in front of him. He used all the power at his disposal and no longer cared about the influence of the Slaughter City.

A beam of red light shot out from the blood pool, causing the entire Killing City to tremble violently. Everyone present felt uneasy, and the moment the beam of blood light appeared, they all felt their soul power being affected.

"Grandpa, be careful."

When Qian Renxue saw that streak of blood, her heart trembled violently, and the angelic mark on her forehead began to heat up as a warning, clearly indicating that she sensed a threat.

"Boom~~~"

In a violent collision, crimson and gold light burst forth, and Qian Daoliu was unusually sent flying. Even the holy sword in his hand, formed from holy flames, was instantly shattered, and he was almost injured by the piercing blood light.

After defeating Qian Daoliu, the King of Slaughter hovered in mid-air for a moment before falling back into the blood mist. Immediately, more crimson light gathered within the blood mist, and the heavy, nauseating smell of blood made people want to vomit. As the crimson light subsided, his body solidified once more.

As time passed, bursts of bloody light emerged from various parts of the City of Slaughter, gathering into the blood mist. The King of Slaughter was frantically mobilizing the power within, having already exerted all his strength.

"Is this a divine artifact?"

Qian Daoliu stared at the blurry blood-red light in the hand of the King of Slaughter. It looked like a sword-shaped divine weapon, with dark golden demonic patterns covering its long and broad blade. The blood-red sword was filled with an extremely sharp killing aura.

However, the King of Slaughter seemed to have no way to control this divine weapon, and did not even dare to fully manifest it. Even so, even a powerful expert like Qian Daoliu couldn't help but frown when faced with the aura emanating from this demonic sword, clearly affected by it.

"We have no grudge against each other, are you really going to fight me to the death?"

The King of Slaughter couldn't understand why Qian Daoliu was fighting him so hard. In this round of battle, the two seemed to be evenly matched, but in reality, he was about to give up. After all, he was not the real Tang Chen, and he was no match for Qian Daoliu in terms of pure strength.

If this place weren't the City of Slaughter, which could amplify the power of the King of Slaughter, he would probably have been defeated in the very first round against the Holy Flame. The power of the angels, which contained holiness, light, and fire, was simply too overwhelming for him.

Qian Daoliu waved his long sleeves, his whole body shining with golden light. "Since the City of Slaughter has already run into trouble, there's no point in keeping you, you wretched creature. I also want to see Tang Chen again and truly defeat him."

"You think you've got me cornered? Even if I'm finished, you'll all be buried with me. This City of Slaughter is my territory."

Seeing this, the King of Slaughter was entangled with Qian Daoliu, and his paths back and forth were blocked. Naturally, he was determined to fight to the death. Wisps of blood energy spread from all directions, and the entire Slaughter City was shrouded in a terrifying blood mist.

The intense killing aura was somewhat similar to the God of Slaughter's Domain, but it was far more malevolent, whether due to the blood mist itself or the staining of the snow-white swan's kiss.

The blood contained a strong corrosive poison, and even the surrounding buildings kept hissing. Many of the corpses lying on the ground outside were completely corroded.

"Since you are so aggressive, let's all perish together."

The King of Slaughter seemed truly prepared to fight to the death; dense crimson light erupted from his body, continuously converging on the blood-red demonic sword in his hand. He glared hatefully at everyone present, then slammed the demonic sword into the ground.

"Buzz..."

As the crimson demonic sword crashed into the earth, countless beams of blood-red light converged at the center of the killing arena, revealing a pattern of a nine-headed blood bat king on the ground.

A blood-red cloud shot out, accompanied by a restless roar, quickly obscuring the sky. Countless tiny, densely packed blood-red lights shot out and swept towards everyone present.

Everyone, including Yan, quickly erected a soul power shield. When the blood-red light crashed into the shield and stirred up waves, they finally saw the creatures that were flying towards them: blood-red bats.

Each blood bat is about a foot long, but its enormous wingspan exceeds one meter. One or two such blood bats are nothing special, but suddenly thousands upon thousands appeared, and their numbers are still growing.

These blood-red bats even had blood-red eyes, made cawing noises, and revealed sharp fangs. Countless blood bats flapped their wings together, bringing gusts of foul wind, and it was unknown how many more blood bats lay beneath the earth that had not yet appeared.

Hu Liena had obviously encountered these blood-red bats before, and quickly reminded them, "These blood bats are extremely troublesome alien species on the road to hell, and they have a potent blood poison. Everyone must be careful. What they fear most is domain ability; you can use your domain to deal with them."

After Hu Liena finished speaking, she and Bibi Dong jointly activated the Killing God Domain, while golden light quickly spread across the bodies of Qian Renxue and Qian Daoliu. The Holy Angel Domain was extremely effective against these blood-red bats.
