—------------------—
The darkness dissipated, and the tavern returned to its previous quietness. Corpses, devoid of Life, lay crisscrossing on the ground, their bright red blood staining the floor.
"Zhuqing, you did very well. In Slaughter City, when I'm not around, you can only rely on yourself. There are no friends there, no companions. Everyone is an enemy. I look forward to the day you become the champion of the Hell Slaughterfield with a hundred consecutive victories and walk out of Slaughter City." Shi Quan came to Zhu Zhuqing's side and gently wiped the blood from her cheek.
Of course, the blood was not his.
The waiter in the tavern didn't panic because dozens of people had died; he seemed to have grown accustomed to this scene.
He naturally heard what Shi Quan said to Zhu Zhuqing, but there was more disdain on his face.
"You think you can enter Slaughter City just by killing a few people? She's not enough…" However, before the waiter could finish his sentence, a pair of sharp claws landed on his chest.
With a loud boom, the waiter's figure immediately flew backward and became motionless.
Zhu Zhuqing threw herself into Shi Quan's arms and kissed him directly on the lips. After a long while, her eyes, full of tenderness, looked directly at Shi Quan and said, "Don't worry, A Quan, I will definitely come out of Slaughter City in two years at most!"
"Mm, I'll wait for you," Shi Quan replied softly.
Zhu Zhuqing then turned and walked to the bar counter in the tavern, raising her hand and slamming it heavily onto the counter.
With a thunderous crash, the bar counter shattered into pieces, revealing the ground beneath.
Then, she stomped her foot fiercely, and with a loud bang, a huge hole appeared in the ground. A chilling wind blew up from the cave below, revealing the entrance to Slaughter City.
Zhu Zhuqing's mental force, cultivated with Shi Quan's Spirit God Art, was already formidable. Coupled with her absorption of the true dragon soul bone of the Shadow Dragon, which possessed dark and spiritual attributes, her mental force strength had reached an exceptionally powerful level.
She didn't even need Shi Quan's reminder; she had already detected the entrance to Slaughter City by herself using her mental force.
After flashing Shi Quan a captivating smile, her figure fell backward, disappearing directly into the dark cave.
Watching Zhu Zhuqing's disappearing figure, Shi Quan felt more anticipation than worry, anticipating the moment Zhu Zhuqing would emerge from Slaughter City.
"Let's go, Gu Yuena." Shi Quan turned and walked out of the tavern, as two golden lights flew out from behind him.
Two startled sounds followed, and with two thuds, the last two waiters in the tavern also turned into corpses, falling to the ground.
"Is this also part of your scheme? It's interesting that Asura allowed Rakshasa to pollute his Legacy land like this!" After leaving the small town, Gu Yuena finally let out a beautiful laugh like silver bells.
Shi Quan looked back at the small town, "With Zhuqing's current Aptitude, how much chance do you think she has of inheriting the Asura God Position?"
After a brief thought, Gu Yuena slowly said, "Eighty percent, I suppose."
"Only eighty percent even now?" The light in Shi Quan's eyes flickered.
Although Zhu Zhuqing's Innate talent was not as good as Tang San's, she had absorbed an Immortal Herb, undergone Dragon Soul Infusion, and acquired two true dragon soul bones, as well as a 200,000-year spirit ring and a 300,000-year spirit ring. Even with her current Martial Spirit evolution and the presence of an external Spirit Bone, she still only had an eighty percent chance.
"Do you think an eighty percent chance is low?" Gu Yuena chuckled, then continued, "An eighty percent probability is already very high. You must understand that the God King Legacy is different from other God Position Legacies. Their requirements for the successor have reached an extremely high level. Even some astonishingly brilliant Genius cannot easily bear their power. Isn't there an example of this in Slaughter City?"
"Tang Chen?" A smile appeared on Shi Quan's lips as he looked at Gu Yuena and asked, "Gu Yuena, is that Slaughter King your opponent?"
"No, but…" Gu Yuena's expression grew a bit more serious, "If Zhu Zhuqing wants to inherit the Asura God Position, you must deal with that Slaughter King yourself. I cannot help you."
"What's wrong?" Shi Quan looked at Gu Yuena, puzzled.
Gu Yuena explained, "That Slaughter King possesses Asura divine force within his body. If I were to act, it would attract the attention of the Asura God."
"So that's how it is." Shi Quan nodded, "If I were to act, could the Asura God discover my identity as the Child of Destiny?"
Gu Yuena said confidently, "Don't worry about that. With me here, as long as they don't descend to the Lower Realm, it's almost impossible for them to discover your identity as the Child of Destiny."
Upon hearing this, Shi Quan felt a little relieved. However, Tang Chen's strength was astonishing. Even though he was controlled by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King and couldn't unleash his full power, with the Asura Demon Sword in his grasp, his strength was among the top Titled Douluo. With his current strength, he was not Tang Chen's opponent.
However, this was only for now; it would be hard to say in the future.
Slaughter City.
Zhu Zhuqing walked forward, silently counting her steps, until she reached one thousand three hundred and twenty-four steps, when a cold voice suddenly came from all directions.
"Welcome to Slaughter City, the capital of Hell, a World of Slaughter. Here, you can obtain everything you desire."
"The price is your Life!"
"Are we almost there?" Zhu Zhuqing's cold expression remained unchanged as she continued to walk steadily forward. Turning a corner, a large gate soon appeared in her sight.
Before she even got close, Zhu Zhuqing had already acutely heard the chaotic footsteps coming from inside the gate. In a brief moment, she judged that the number of people behind the gate was probably close to a hundred.
Passing through the portal, over a hundred armored soldiers appeared in her field of vision, with a black-armored knight holding a long spear standing at the very front.
The black-armored knight's cold gaze fell upon Zhu Zhuqing, and a frigid voice emerged from his mouth, "You have violated the rules."
Zhu Zhuqing's equally cold gaze fell upon the black-armored knight. Her figure slightly crouched, wings spread behind her, with no spirit ring appearing beneath her, but her cold expression showed no change whatsoever. She stared at the black-armored knight like a venomous snake.
Shi Quan had already informed Zhu Zhuqing about the inability to use Spirit Ability on the way here, so she wasn't flustered in the slightest.
The black-armored knight's expression remained unchanged upon seeing this. His long spear was already raised. "Defeat me, and you will have the qualification to enter Slaughter City!"
As his voice fell, the black-armored knight immediately spurred his horse and charged towards Zhu Zhuqing.
The black-armored knight's charging speed was already very fast, but Zhu Zhuqing's speed was even faster. With a sidestep, the warhorse beneath the black-armored knight immediately let out a piercing cry of anguish as its neck bones directly fractured.
"So fast!" The black-armored knight's face changed. The horse beneath him immediately stumbled forward, and his own figure also fell uncontrollably forward.
After quickly rolling a few times on the ground, the black-armored knight swiftly got up and was about to counterattack when he saw a pair of gleaming sharp claws already resting before his neck. Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's cold eyes, the black-armored knight's eyes showed a hint of terror, and he said with some difficulty, "You have passed my test. You are qualified to enter Slaughter City."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing, with a cold expression, turned and walked towards the depths.
"Wait a moment, this token is proof that you passed the test, and it's also your identity proof for Slaughter City." The black-armored knight quickly called out to Zhu Zhuqing, took a token from his Arms, and threw it to Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing raised her hand and caught the token, then looked down at it. A skull was carved on the token, with a number below it: 9633.
"Once inside, someone will greet you at the city gate."
The black-armored knight continued, but Zhu Zhuqing's figure didn't pause and she continued walking deeper into Slaughter City.
Soon, Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the city gate. A black-veiled girl gracefully walked out, bowed slightly, and said, "Welcome to Slaughter City, please!"
Saying that, she slightly turned her body, making a gesture of invitation.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and followed, entering the city. The black-veiled girl's voice sounded again, "I am your guide. You can ask me anything you don't understand. Within twelve hours, I will answer all your questions. After twelve hours, this will be your home. You will officially become a member of Slaughter City."
Zhu Zhuqing merely said with a cold expression, "Take me to the Hell Slaughterfield."
The black-veiled girl paused for a moment, then said with some surprise, "Madam 9633, are you referring to the Hell Slaughterfield?"
"That's right."
Upon hearing this, the black-veiled girl's expression towards Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but change. Because she hadn't told Zhu Zhuqing about the existence of the Hell Slaughterfield, yet Zhu Zhuqing knew about it and immediately said she wanted to go there. Clearly, this person was different from ordinary fallen ones; she was likely here specifically for training, and there was probably a Slaughter God standing behind her.
Zhu Zhuqing's eyesight was astonishing now. Through the black veil on the black-veiled girl's face, she could notice the girl's tightly furrowed brows.
"In that case, please follow me." After speaking, the black-veiled girl led Zhu Zhuqing towards the inner city.
Zhu Zhuqing quietly followed behind the black-veiled girl, observing her surroundings.
Before coming, Shi Quan had told her about the general situation of Slaughter City. The outer city looked similar to an ordinary city, but the inner city was the true Slaughter City, a truly fallen and insane place.
"The inner city doesn't need guards. As long as people from the outer city dare to enter, they can go inside at any time. Of course, once they are inside, they will have to bear the unknowns of the World within…"
After walking for about half an hour, led by the black-veiled girl, the two finally arrived before a city wall about ten meters high. The black-veiled girl calmly introduced the wide-open city gate.
Facing the black-veiled girl's reminder, Zhu Zhuqing's figure didn't pause in the slightest. She unhesitatingly stepped into the inner city along with the black-veiled girl.
However, as soon as her foot entered the inner city, Zhu Zhuqing immediately felt an atmosphere completely different from the outer city.
