Kai spared the life of the man on the warhorse, took a token from him, and then headed towards the giant city ahead. When Kai arrived at the city gate, a Woman in Black with a black veil slowly approached.
"Welcome to Slaughter City."
The Woman in Black walked up to Kai. Although she wore a veil, she was still extremely charming, which made Kai sigh in admiration.
"After Tang Chen became the Slaughter King, he's been living quite comfortably, hasn't he? He wouldn't be playing poker with these envoys all day, would he?"
Kai's expression remained unchanged as he said to the Woman in Black, "Let's skip the pleasantries."
"Take me to the Hell Slaughter Arena."
The Woman in Black was startled, she assessed Kai, and softly asked, "Do you really want to go straight to the Hell Slaughter Arena?"
"Otherwise, why would I be here?"
Kai smiled, "Take me there, and your mission will be complete."
"Alright then."
The Woman in Black was a little helpless. She had seen people who didn't care for their lives, but she had never seen an idiot like Kai, who was so eager to go to the Hell Slaughter Arena to die without even understanding the basic situation of Slaughter City.
Just a few steps out, Kai noticed a gaunt figure in a dark corner, glaring at him menacingly. Before the Woman in Black next to him could act, the figure staring at Kai directly exploded.
The Woman in Black looked at Kai with some surprise.
It seemed Kai was not as simple as she had initially thought; she had barely noticed his attack just now.
"It seems you can adapt well here."
The Woman in Black chuckled.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't have come here."
The two proceeded unimpeded and quickly passed through the outer city, arriving at the inner city where there were no rules or restraints. As soon as they entered, Kai heard a series of unspeakable sounds.
Kai looked over and saw a dying young girl lying on the ground, surrounded by a group of scantily clad men. Everyone knew what she was enduring.
Yet, the Woman in Black, also a woman, showed no reaction to such a sight.
"You are both women, do you have no reaction to this?" Kai asked.
"There are no rules here; the weak naturally meet such an end," the Woman in Black said calmly.
"If you weren't an envoy of the Slaughter King, your fate might be similar to hers. Although this place is called a paradise of sin, it's more like a carnival of beasts."
Kai smiled, "After you take me to the Hell Slaughter Arena, you can leave."
"I don't need any twelve-hour protection period."
The Woman in Black raised an eyebrow and said, "If that's what you wish, then so be it."
..."This is the Hell Slaughter Arena. Whether you want to watch or participate in a match is up to you." The Woman in Black asked again, "Do you really want to participate in a match directly?"
"Yes, thank you for leading the way."
Kai smiled faintly, and the moment he turned around, the expression on his face instantly vanished. At this moment, he seemed to have lost all emotion. He stepped towards the Hell Slaughter Arena, and while still some distance away, he was stopped by three burly men.
Again, he didn't give them a chance to speak. Anyone who blocked his path had their heads crushed by Kai.
The Woman in Black behind him looked at Kai, who seemed like a changed person, with some surprise. One moment he was smiling and thanking her, the next he was expressionlessly crushing someone's head.
Such a person was no ordinary individual.
Soon, Kai registered for the Hell Slaughter Arena and was about to face his first deathmatch.
There were quite a few spectators, but no one had confidence in someone like him. From both age and physique, Kai was no match for those desperate outlaws. It was likely that Kai would be the first to die in this battle.
"Haha, where did this pretty boy come from!"
On the arena, someone mocked.
Immediately after, a chorus of taunting voices erupted from the surroundings.
Kai's expression was indifferent. He took a step, his figure eerily appearing before the person who had just mocked him, his palm having landed on that person's face at some unknown moment.
"Bang!"
As red and white matter splattered across the ground, everyone was instantly terrified. The next moment, they all roared and charged at Kai.
Kai's figure was unpredictable, constantly moving across the arena. He did not use his Martial Soul, but merely relying on his spirit power, he easily crushed the heads of the other people in the arena.
"Roar!"
The surrounding people immediately erupted in roars.
This kind of battle seemed to excite them greatly!
After all, the instinct of a beast is slaughter.
Kai stepped off the stage. In just a few seconds, everyone on the stage except him had died tragically. Everyone looked in horror at the young man slowly walking off the stage, unable to imagine what kind of young man he was.
"This guy, he's really terrifying..."
Kai left the Hell Slaughter Arena, only to find that the Woman in Black was still waiting for him.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Kai asked.
"Indeed, I underestimated you. The reason I haven't left is to take you to your residence."
The Woman in Black suppressed the shock in her heart and smiled at Kai.
"Alright, let's go." Kai nodded.
Following the Woman in Black to his residence, the place was not small. If it weren't in a place like Slaughter City, it might be considered a decent place. The air in Slaughter City was filled with the smell of blood, and staying here for a long time would gradually cause one to lose their sanity.
"Well then, I wish you to obtain everything you desire in Slaughter City." The Woman in Black stood at the door and chuckled softly.
Kai nodded. It wasn't until the Woman in Black turned and left that Kai softly said, "A woman like you shouldn't fall into such depravity. The world outside is where you truly belong."
He could tell that the Woman in Black was not old, likely a young girl. Although the black veil hid part of her face, it still couldn't conceal her stunning features.
If she hadn't been born in Slaughter City, perhaps she would have been a very popular young girl, able to fully enjoy the outside world, but for her, that might just be a luxury.
"I was born in Slaughter City, and I should die here. No one can defy the Slaughter King...no one..."
The Girl in Black's voice carried a hint of sadness, but quickly returned to calm.
She hesitated for a moment, then timidly asked, "What is the world outside like?"
"If you long for it, why not go and see for yourself?" Kai smiled, "There will be a chance. Before that, just survive."
Then, Kai closed the door.
The Girl in Black lingered for a moment, then reined in the emotions in her eyes and reverted to her previous role as a Slaughter Envoy.
