CHAPTER 336: CHAPTER 336: PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL

But there shouldn’t only be two bartenders here. The City of Slaughter is a paradise for fallen souls. There’s no reason for it to be so deserted.

Especially since the Spirit Hall has been capturing so many fallen souls recently. They should all be gathered in the City of Slaughter by now.

However, considering the strangeness of the City of Slaughter, Tang Hao didn’t think too much about it. After all, his purpose for coming here was to help his son obtain the Slaughter Domain. As long as the Slaughter Domain was secured, it didn’t matter if the City of Slaughter was destroyed!

He then turned to his son, Tang San, and said, "Kill them! Then find the entrance to the City of Slaughter yourself. Once inside, everything will depend on you. I’ll wait for you at the exit of the City of Slaughter."

"Yes, Father!"

Without hesitation, Tang San followed his father’s orders. Under the shocked gazes of the bartenders, he swiftly killed them.

The two bartenders, watching their bodies fall, were filled with resentment. Their eyes locked onto Tang San, as if to say, "If you wanted to enter the City of Slaughter, why did you kill us? Couldn’t you have just asked?!"

"If you had asked, we would have let you in! We wouldn’t have stopped you! After all, it’s not us who send people in. Even if the higher-ups found out, they wouldn’t hold us accountable. Why did you kill us?!!"

Indeed, not everyone is the Hell Executioner...

After killing the two bartenders, Tang San used his spiritual power to find a hidden passage behind the bar. After breaking through the cover, he jumped in.

Walking through a dark passage, Tang San opened a door emitting a faint light. As soon as he opened it, he saw a group of armored guards standing in formation, guarding a massive black gate behind them.

Beyond the black gate was a blood-red city, glowing eerily under a purple moon.

As Tang San was still pondering, the leader of the group, a burly man in armor riding a horse, slowly rode forward.

Looking at Tang San, he sneered, "Fallen one, you’ve broken the rules!"

To this, Tang San chuckled coldly, "So what? This is the City of Slaughter, a paradise of death. Can’t rules be broken here?"

Tang San summoned his Blue Silver Grass but found that his soul rings couldn’t be used. He immediately switched to the Clear Sky Hammer.

Hearing Tang San’s words, the lead Slaughter Knight didn’t refute him. Instead, he spoke in a serious tone, "Of course, you can. But I hope you have the strength to back up your defiance! If you don’t, you’ll be executed here!"

"Oh?! Well, it just so happens that I do..."

Tang San, with the Clear Sky Hammer resting on his shoulder, spoke confidently.

Now, as a Soul Emperor who had mastered the Clear Sky Nine Techniques and the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique, Tang San believed he was a match for anyone!

Even a Soul Douluo wouldn’t intimidate him!

However, in the next moment, when Tang San saw the Slaughter Knight slowly release two yellow, two purple, and five black soul rings, he was stunned.

What the hell? A Title Douluo?!

Are you kidding me?!

A Title Douluo guarding the gates?

Is the City of Slaughter really this extravagant?!

Father never mentioned this to me.

As if sensing Tang San’s confusion, the Slaughter Knight explained, "You’re unlucky. The previous Slaughter Knight, Scott, was only a Soul Sage. He was killed by a troublemaker with Soul Emperor strength, just like you. Since then, the Slaughter King ordered that only Title Douluos can serve as Slaughter Knights! I am Cawcott, Slaughter Knight Number Two! Today, it’s my turn to guard the gate. Fallen one, are you ready to face judgment?"

Hearing Cawcott’s words, Tang San’s expression changed drastically.

All his earlier calm and composure vanished, replaced by fear.

Prepare? Prepare my ass! He was only a Soul Emperor. How could he fight a Title Douluo?!

And one who could use soul skills at that!

This was ridiculous!

Without hesitation, Tang San tried to run back, but Cawcott blocked him.

"Fallen one, weren’t you so arrogant and confident earlier? Why are you running now? You can’t leave. You only have two choices: defeat me and enter the City of Slaughter, or be slain by me!"

Cawcott spoke coldly.

In the next moment, Tang San didn’t make a choice. Instead, he attacked directly.

Using the Clear Sky Hammer’s Clear Sky Nine Techniques, he launched a sneak attack.

"Clear Sky Nine Techniques: Shock Technique!"

"Boom!!"

Caught off guard, Cawcott was sent flying.

Tang San then used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to dash toward the passage.

However, with Cawcott blocking him, he couldn’t reach the gate.

Seeing their captain ambushed, the Slaughter Soldiers couldn’t sit still. They rushed forward to surround Tang San.

"Kill him!"

Cawcott, who had been sent flying several meters, roared.

Soon, Tang San, seeing the figures closing in from all sides and the Title Douluo-level Cawcott, felt a wave of despair.

Although Tang San fought back, facing a Title Douluo and several Soul Emperors and Soul Kings, he was easily subdued by Cawcott.

Cawcott, furious, stomped on Tang San’s face several times. Looking at Tang San’s dirty, mud-streaked face, he shouted angrily, "Hmph, you trash with no strength dared to ambush me? Take him back. It’s been a while since we’ve had such a young one. Clean him up. Tonight, let’s have some fun. Kid, now you won’t die so easily."

"Woo!! Long live the captain!! Long live the captain!!"

"Tonight will be a sleepless night!!"

"Haha, let the fireworks begin!!"

"Finally, some entertainment!"

"Wherever we go, nothing remains!"

"..."

Hearing the Slaughter Knight’s words, the Slaughter Soldiers all showed excited expressions.

Their gazes, once filled with killing intent, now held a predatory gleam.

Tang San, seeing the way they looked at him—similar to how he had once looked at Xiao Wu—felt a wave of terror.

What were those looks for? He was a man! What did these men want with him?!

"Dad, save me!!"

"Dare to touch my son? You’re seeking death!!"

"Boom!!"

Just as Tang San was despairing over his future, Tang Hao appeared. The Slaughter Domain activated, and nine soul rings flashed, sending everyone flying.
