The King of Slaughter's expression shifted between light and dark, his mind in turmoil.
The young man before him was amazing in terms of ability, temperament, and thought.
This is a true talent!
If we can recruit him, he will surely become a great asset to us in the future.
However, the other party's arrogant attitude made him, a king who had long held a high position and controlled everything, feel offended like never before.
In the end, he decided to give it one last try.
The King of Slaughter slowly raised his hand and took out a cup made of a skull.
He stretched out his other hand and lightly scratched his finger with his sharp nail.
A small gash opened, and crimson blood, as if it had a life of its own, flowed automatically from the wound and into the skull cup.
Soon, a cup filled with blood that exuded a strong stench of blood and evil energy.
The King of Slaughter used his soul power to hold the cup and slowly presented it to Dongfang Jing.
"Drink it."
"This is my blood. Drink it, and my scent will remain on you. From this day forward, you will be a part of my City of Slaughter."
"As you know, the normal way to leave the Killing City is to achieve a hundred consecutive wins in the Killing Arena and successfully pass through the extremely dangerous Hell Road. But..."
"If you drink this cup of blood, I can make an exception for you. What do you say?"
This is the biggest concession he can make.
However, Dongfang Jing didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
"You talk too much nonsense."
He interrupted the King of Slaughter abruptly, his tone filled with impatience.
In his eyes, this so-called King of Slaughter exuded an aura of evil that made him want to vomit.
It's evil too!
It was also the target of his divine examination!
If it weren't for the inherent risks, Dongfang Jing might actually have gone to assassinate the King of Slaughter.
Dongfang Jing waved his hand casually, as if shooing away an annoying fly.
"Smack!"
The skull cup, filled with the blood of the King of Slaughter, was ruthlessly knocked away by him.
The cup shattered into pieces, and the thick, scarlet blood inside flowed out, appearing particularly glaring on the dirty ground.
The entire scene fell into a deathly silence.
The black-armored knights around them were all dumbfounded.
They simply couldn't believe their eyes!
This judge... he... he actually dared to humiliate the great King of Slaughter like this!
Even the King of Slaughter froze.
He hovered in mid-air, his scarlet eyes fixed on the pool of his own blood on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a tremendous rage erupted from the depths of his heart!
"You...are...looking for...death!" He squeezed out these three words through gritted teeth, one word at a time.
However, Dongfang Jing completely ignored his anger.
He bent down and picked up the unconscious man at his feet, who was also his ten-thousandth target.
Then, without looking back, he walked forward.
"King of Slaughter," his calm voice drifted slowly into the ears of the enraged King of Slaughter, "we shall meet again."
The moment the words left his mouth, a sudden change occurred!
A magnificent mirror blade, flowing with brilliant golden divine fire, flew out from behind Dongfang Jing and hovered in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, the mirror blade spun rapidly in the air, shining brightly!
In the end, it transformed into a teleportation portal composed of countless golden light spots, shining with brilliant light!
"What?!"
The King of Slaughter's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with shock!
Soul skills?
Why can he use soul skills?!
The King of Slaughter hadn't anticipated this and was completely unprepared!
Just as he realized what was happening and was about to intercept them, Dongfang Jing, carrying the Fallen One, stepped into the golden gate of light.
The light gate rippled like water for a moment, then quickly contracted and disappeared.
Along with Dongfang Jing and the fallen one, they also completely disappeared from the spot.
It was as if they had never existed.
The King of Slaughter hovered in mid-air, his face filled with shock. He quickly spread his vast spiritual power to sense everything around him.
However, he could not perceive anything!
There was no residual spatial fluctuation, no trace of soul power, and no trace of Dongfang Jing's aura!
That person just vanished into thin air!
The King of Slaughter slowly descended to the ground, and the stone slabs beneath his feet cracked inch by inch as they could not withstand the terrifying pressure emanating from him.
In a fit of rage, he turned around abruptly and grabbed the head of a black-armored soldier next to him.
"Snap!"
He crushed the hard helmet, along with the head inside, into pieces!
Red and white splattered all over him.
He paid no heed, opening his mouth to brutally suck the gushing blood and life force from the headless neck.
However, even this most primitive way of venting his anger could not eliminate the hatred in his heart!
"Damn brat!!"
He let out a roar that sounded inhuman and tossed the corpse aside.
"If I weren't currently trapped in this godforsaken place, I would have torn you to pieces!!!"
He recalled Dongfang Jing's parting words, "We'll meet again."
"Until we meet again?"
His bloodshot eyes flashed with a frenzied killing intent.
"If I catch you again, you're dead! Dead!!!"
...
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from the killing capital.
On a secluded cliff outside Gengxin City in the Star Luo Empire.
A golden portal appeared out of thin air, and Dongfang Jing slowly walked out from it.
This is a spatial coordinate he casually set up after passing through Gengxin City when he left Tiandou City and headed to the far west.
He casually tossed the ten-thousandth fallen soul master he was carrying onto the ground.
The man slowly woke up and saw the unfamiliar surroundings and the platinum mask on Dongfang Jing's face. He was stunned for a moment, then remembered something and was so frightened that he turned around and tried to run away.
"Pfft."
A flash of golden light, and his movements came to an abrupt halt.
Without a word, Dongfang Jing kicked his corpse off the cliff, letting it plunge into the abyss below.
At the same time, the golden sun symbol with a spiral pattern on his forehead shone with a dazzling light.
A clear and ethereal female voice solemnly resounded in his mind.
