Douluo Dalu: Transforming Soul Rings into Soul Veins
Chapter 252: Who Said This King of Slaughter is Old? This King of Slaughter is Awesome!
CHAPTER 252: CHAPTER 252: WHO SAID THIS KING OF SLAUGHTER IS OLD? THIS KING OF SLAUGHTER IS AWESOME!
"I didn’t expect that there would be another world here. Why is the Asura’s dojo hidden under here?" Qing Xuan asked.
"Because this is a place where evil gathers. All the soul masters who enter this Slaughter City, besides those who have come to pursue stronger power, are all hiding in this inescapable, desperate land to escape the sanctions of the outside world. Thus, they cannot see the light."
"It is a paradise for fallen soul masters, but it is also their purgatory. Having arrived here, these fellows who have committed crimes in the outside world and have taken human lives must all participate in the Hell Slaughtering Fields and quietly wait for death."
"Ten people in one battle. A hundred victories will open the Hell Road. To pass through the Hell Road is to regain one’s life and obtain the title of Slaughter God."
Qing Xuan frowned. "It sounds like you’re raising gu."
She naturally quickly understood another benefit of this Slaughter City’s existence in the world, and that was that it could wipe out all the fallen soul masters on the Douluo Continent who were wanted by Spirit Hall.
To concentrate them in this sunless land, to prevent them from continuing to do evil outside. Of course, there was still a chance to go out, although this chance was so slim it could almost be ignored.
But this method of selection made this Goddess of Life a little displeased.
She continued, "But it indeed cannot not exist. This is a huge gu, with evil as its food, and fresh blood as its drink. The ’Slaughter God’ that is nurtured is probably a candidate for the Asura’s successor."
"You are not wrong. To obtain the title of Slaughter God and the Slaughter God Domain is the opportunity for that person to obtain the inheritance of the Asura God."
After Lin Feng spoke, he looked at Qing Xuan and chuckled lightly, "You say, when the Asura God had established this Slaughter City, did he consider that it itself would be a cage for the fallen? Or was it simply for his own inheritance that this human dojo was established?"
Qing Xuan was silent for a moment before she sighed. "I’m afraid not."
"Newcomers?" An enforcement knight came to the side of Lin Feng and the others. "These are your identity plates. Walk straight ahead, and you will reach the city gate. There will be someone there to receive you and explain the rules."
He threw two iron identity plates to Lin Feng and Qing Xuan. One side was carved with a unique pattern, and the other was a simple number.
"From now on, this number will be your name here. In addition," before the knight left, he gave Lin Feng a deep look. "I can feel that you are an expert. But here, soul skills are restricted and cannot be used."
"If you don’t want to die too quickly, I advise you to first make your appearance a little uglier. Especially your woman. With such an appearance, it will only attract unnecessary trouble here."
"Fighting is forbidden in the outer ring, but it is just a nominal ’prohibition’. The outside world also forbids killing. Understand?" After the knight had spoken, he walked away.
Qing Xuan raised her eyebrows. This fellow had spoken so quickly that she hadn’t even had time to refute. His woman?
She glanced at the indifferent Lin Feng, who was playing with the identity plate in his hand, and said with annoyance, "Hmph, why aren’t you leaving yet? What’s so good to look at about a broken plate?"
"The number is a little unique."
"What is it?"
"10085."
Qing Xuan frowned. "Where is it unique?"
"Hello, welcome, the two of you, to the Slaughter City. I am a receptionist here."
Outside the city gate, a delicate woman, dressed in a light, thin black gauze and wearing a black veil, was looking at them with a smile.
Her voice was soft and enchanting, but the pair of eyes hidden under the veil revealed an imperceptible indifference and cunning.
"In the next twelve shichen (24 hours), I will arrange your residence, lead you to familiarize yourselves with this place, and explain all the rules here."
Her pupils moved slightly. Looking at the Qing Xuan by Lin Feng’s side, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, as if she were hesitating about something.
But when she saw Qing Xuan’s chest, she immediately said, "Of course, my guidance is completely free. Not only that, if you want something more wonderful to happen, I can also gladly agree~"
As she spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally puffed out her proud chest, reached out, and took off her own veil. Although her appearance could not compare with Qing Xuan’s...
Her appearance was still delicate and pretty—easily ranked as a lower-tier level one beauty.
But the proud curves on her chest were a whole different story.
Calling her a "baby-faced bombshell" wouldn’t be an exaggeration in the slightest.
Qing Xuan looked down, then at the woman. Her willow-like brows raised slightly, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Oh? The service here is quite special."
Lin Feng, at the side, his gaze was like a knife as he coldly swept his gaze over the receptionist. The latter couldn’t help but shiver, and her smile also became a little stiff.
She seemed to realize that she had lost her composure a little. She hurriedly put her veil back on and returned to her previous indifference and professionalism. "Sorry, I lost my composure. The two of you, please follow me."
She cursed silently in her heart. They’ve come here, what kind of good person could they be? This old lady’s beauty, is it not even in your eyes? The thing on my chest is very fun to play with! You don’t know what’s good!
"From here in is the outer city. Killing is forbidden in the outer city. But you have to pay a certain amount of Bloody Mary within the specified time. A Bloody Mary is what you drank when you came in."
"I didn’t drink it."
"It’s good that you drank... huh?" The receptionist was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Feng and the other in disbelief. "You actually didn’t drink it? That’s... forget it. You can’t avoid it."
Lin Feng looked at the purple moon at the top of his head and frowned slightly. He transmitted his voice, "There’s the aura of the Rakshasa on it, right?"
Qing Xuan nodded.
"The Asura’s dojo, yet the Rakshasa can wantonly stick a foot in. It really is a little strange."
Looking at the relatively orderly outer city, Qing Xuan couldn’t help but say, "The Slaughter City seems to be quite orderly?"
The woman looked back and smiled.
"Madam, the outer city is roughly like this. But from that road in is the inner city. And the inner city no longer forbids killing. It can also be said that it no longer forbids anything."
"This outer city is because Lord King of Slaughter has given a special law enforcement team. They have the privilege of using soul skills and even more so, have a Titled Douluo as their captain."
"This is how there is the current order. An ordinary soul master is relatively safe in the outer city. But once they enter the inner city, it is really life and death by the heavens."
"The chaos there is not something that can be easily imagined. From the order of the outer city, our King of Slaughter is incomparably wise and martial," her words carried a trace of a longing respect.
Lin Feng raised his eyebrows. "It seems you are very fond of that King of Slaughter."
The woman smiled radiantly. "Sir jests. Here, which one of us does not hope to receive the favor of the King of Slaughter? He is the ruler here. If not for a sister who has received his affection, we receptionists would not have our current status."
"The ones with a special status here, besides the law enforcement team, are us receptionists."
"Status?"
"Within the twelve shichen of your first entry into the Slaughter City, as long as you follow me into the inner city and do not exceed a range of five meters, you will be absolutely safe. No one will be able to make a move on you."
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. "It’s just a newbie protection period that should have been there. You think it’s a right that the King of Slaughter has bestowed upon you? Just to exchange a fabricated honor for the reverence of a group of people."
The woman’s face changed. "Sir, in the future, you will know how honored and lofty an existence the King of Slaughter is. He is the ruler here."
Lin Feng stroked his chin. "As far as I know, this current King of Slaughter should have existed here for a long time, right? I suppose he is an old fellow over a hundred years old."
"Who said this King of Slaughter is old? This King of Slaughter is awesome!" the woman said with a flushed face. "You don’t know. My sister was petted by him..."
"Ahem!" Qing Xuan suddenly coughed twice, interrupting the woman’s words. A trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes. "Let’s first understand the environment and rules here. As for the matter of the King of Slaughter, we are not interested."
"Take us to the inner city," Lin Feng said.
Following the woman, Lin Feng and Qing Xuan stepped into the bounds of the inner city. Unlike the orderly outer city, the inner city was a scene of chaos and clamor. The roars of soul masters, bursts of laughter, and licentious moans tangled together in the air. A heavy scent of blood hung over everything.
"This is the inner city, the paradise of slaughter," the woman said softly, her voice seeming to even carry a trace of excitement. "Here, you can do anything, as long as you have enough strength."
Qing Xuan’s pupils fiercely widened. She saw that the surroundings were all soul masters who were in the midst of slaughtering. Their eyes were full of madness and bloodthirst.
Some were directly kicking the other party’s head as a ball. Some were twisting off the other party’s head to make a wine glass for a Bloody Mary. There were even more who were directly tearing off the arm of a passing soul master and eating it with a "crunch crunch" sound.
But on the contrary, the soul master whose arm had been torn off just indifferently glanced at his own wound, and then immediately followed by tearing off the arm of another soul master and also began to eat it with a "crunch crunch" sound.
On this chaotic street, one could even see naked men and women everywhere, exploring the great Dao of yin and yang. The sound of "huff huff" was endless.
As the Goddess of Life, Qing Xuan’s face instantly turned white with a "shua." She had never seen such an absurd, bloody, and inhuman scene. Even the most cruel of wars in the Divine Realm was not a ten-thousandth of this.
"It really is hell."
"It is," Lin Feng glanced at the surrounding scene. "Hell. But those who are imprisoned are all evil ghosts. Their deaths are not to be pitied. But it is indeed a little absurd."
The woman, looking at Qing Xuan’s face, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, but she soon returned to her professional reception posture. "The two of you, this is the inner city of the Slaughter City."
"No matter what identity and status you have in the outside world, here, only strength speaks. You need to adapt to the rules here as soon as possible. Otherwise..."
The woman did not continue, but her pupils suddenly widened, revealing a look of terror.
In her eyes, the weak-looking green-clothed woman had just lightly raised her hand. With a flash of an emerald-green light, the fallen soul masters before her who were in the act of copulation had all turned to flying ash, annihilated in the air.
"This..." The reception woman looked at Qing Xuan in astonishment, for a time forgetting her words.
Qing Xuan’s expression was still cold and clear. "This kind of filth, what is the use of keeping it?"
The entire street suddenly went quiet. How could the fallen soul masters have ever seen such a terrifying scene? The soul master who had been by their side a moment ago had turned into a cloud of smoke the next.
This made the fear in their hearts infinitely magnified. One after another, they stopped their sinful acts. With the sound of a weapon falling to the ground, they scattered and fled.
The reception woman fiercely swallowed her saliva. In her consciousness, even the King of Slaughter didn’t have this kind of means, right?
And, wasn’t this one’s soul skill restricted?
"Let’s go," Qing Xuan said softly and took the lead in taking a step.
The reception woman also came back to her senses. She gave Qing Xuan a deep look, her eyes full of reverence. Her previous assessment of these two newcomers was completely wrong. They were definitely not ordinary newcomers, but existences with great strength.
"The two of you, my lords, please follow me," the reception woman hurriedly ran before Qing Xuan and said respectfully.
"No need," Lin Feng waved his hand. "You can go. Next, the matters of the inner city, we will handle them ourselves."
"But the rules..."
"This is the inner city. Strength is the rule, isn’t it?" A smile was on the corner of Lin Feng’s mouth as he looked at the reception woman. The latter’s heart panicked for no reason, and she subconsciously nodded.
"Then... the two of you, my lords, take care," after the reception woman had spoken, she turned around and hurriedly left.
Lin Feng looked at Qing Xuan’s expression and said with some surprise, "You seem a little angry?"
Qing Xuan replied with annoyance, "I know that the birth of this kind of environment has its reasons. For the Douluo Continent to have such a cage to hold fallen soul masters is also beneficial."
"For these desperadoes who bear a human life to survive in such a hell is also reasonable. But to see such an absurd scene, it is still inevitable for my heart to be frustrated."
Lin Feng nodded. "I understand."
"And that’s it?" Seeing that he had just said two words and did not continue, Qing Xuan couldn’t help but glare at him.
"Or what? Could it be that you can still destroy this place? You know this is a place that holds evil," Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders, his tone carrying a trace of helplessness. "Even if we have the strength to destroy this place, doing so will only cause the evil to scatter and once again bring chaos to the Douluo Continent."
"And, the existence of the Slaughter City, to a certain extent, is also a kind of balance."
His voice paused. "Then, shall we temporarily separate for now? I will go and check some things. And you will go and check if there are any traces of the Asura and the Rakshasa interfering in the lower realm here?"
Qing Xuan nodded and couldn’t help but ask, "You followed me here, yet you don’t expose your own strength and aura, but are just observing in the dark. What on earth is it for?"
Lin Feng said with a shallow smile, "You just do your own thing. Speaking of which, this is the Asura’s dojo. You shouldn’t be detected by the Asura, right? You, you don’t have my two qis of yin and yang."
As he spoke, his entire body manifested a faint black and white color, lingering and moving. In Qing Xuan’s eyes, at this time, Lin Feng was like the air, without a single bit of aura.
Qing Xuan snorted coldly. "Naturally. If you are really worried, then give me a little."
"What if you see through the essence and come to deal with me? No, haha," Lin Feng laughed twice, his gaze turning to the direction of the Hell Slaughtering Fields. He slowly walked away, waving at Qing Xuan with his back to her.
The corner of Qing Xuan’s mouth pouted. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She also turned and walked in another direction.
