After four months apart, Hu Liena had changed somewhat. She looked more mature, and even more charming.
She held a Bloody Mary in her hand and walked toward Yan with enchanting steps.
Suddenly, a few ferocious-looking Fallen Ones appeared, blocking her path.
One of the burly men chuckled and said:
"Little sister, looks like you're new to Slaughter City, huh?"
"A pretty little thing like you is in real danger here. Stick with big bro I'll protect you."
The burly man stared directly at Hu Liena, his lecherous gaze roaming over her body.
"Get lost!"
A flash of pink light flickered in Hu Liena's eyes, and the burly man froze on the spot.
Immediately after, she drew a sharp dagger and ruthlessly slit his throat.
Before the man could even make a sound, he collapsed to the ground, dead on the spot.
The others were stunned and quickly backed away.
None of them had expected that this young girl could strike with such ruthless precision.
"What are you waiting for? Scram!"
Hu Liena shouted angrily, and the group vanished without a trace.
Then, Hu Liena confidently walked over to Yan.
"Long time no see. I didn't think you'd actually come here."
"Looks like Her Holiness the Pope already knows I'm here."
"How do you know that?"
"I guessed."
Yan had already predicted Hu Liena would come here.
Slaughter City was like a massive prison for evildoers, requiring large amounts of food and resources. Other than the Spirit Hall, likely no one else could provide for it.
When Yan first arrived at Slaughter City, he achieved such an outstanding battle record that it was bound to catch the attention of the Slaughter King. A simple investigation would reveal he was from Spirit Hall.
Yan also knew that without Hu Liena, it would be hard for him to leave Slaughter City, as he lacked the powerful background of a Slaughter God like Bibi Dong.
"When did you arrive?"
"Yesterday."
"You just passed the newbie protection period. You haven't been to the Hell Slaughter Arena yet, have you?"
"I'm just about to go. Can you come with me?"
"Sure."
Seeing the hopeful look in Hu Liena's eyes, Yan couldn't bring himself to refuse.
He pointed at the Bloody Mary in her hand and reminded her.
"That's not a good thing. It's toxic—it will erode your spiritual power and willpower. Better not drink it again."
Hearing this, Hu Liena's expression changed.
"Got it. Thanks for the warning."
"Let's go."
Afterward, Yan took Hu Liena to register and witnessed her win her first battle in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
After four months of training in the Death Canyon, Hu Liena had improved a lot.
But if she wanted to achieve one hundred victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena, she still had a long road ahead.
One year later.
Yan and Hu Liena had become stars of the Hell Slaughter Arena.
Hu Liena had achieved sixty victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena and had earned a renowned nickname the Hell Envoy.
Yan had achieved eighty victories, becoming the fastest person in the history of Slaughter City to reach that milestone.
His powerful flames struck fear into every challenger.
Over a thousand Fallen Ones had died at his hands, including several powerful Soul Douluo-level enemies.
He had thus become known among the Fallen as the fearsome "Flame Demon Monarch."
After a year of continuous killing, Yan's lethal techniques had become even deadlier, and his combat skills had greatly improved.
Whether in reaction speed, observational ability, or combat mindset, he had grown immensely. His overall combat power was more than twice what it had been before.
Throughout this year, Yan had never once used his Blazing Wings. That was his life-saving trump card not something he would use unless absolutely necessary.
In Slaughter City, it was impossible to cultivate soul power through external means, but there were two internal methods for increasing strength.
One was to kill opponents and drink the Bloody Mary, but its side effects were significant. Prolonged consumption would affect one's mind and will, eventually turning one into a fallen being, neither human nor ghost.
The other method was to defeat opponents in the Hell Slaughter Arena and absorb their soul power.
However, after the fallen were killed, most of their soul power would be absorbed by the Slaughter Arena itself. The victor could only absorb a small portion.
Of course, one needed the ability to devour soul power to be able to absorb it at all.
Over the past year, Yan had repeatedly used his head soul bone to release the Void Flame. Controlled by his will, it not only burned the opponent's spirit but also devoured part of their soul power.
Even so, he could only absorb a small part.
Yan could feel that the devouring ability of the Viod Flame was not affected by the special environment of Slaughter City. At present, it still couldn't devour in large quantities, which was related to his own strength.
Half a year ago, Yan broke through Rank 60. His soul power was still increasing.
But since he hadn't obtained his sixth soul ring, his exact level couldn't be determined.
Over the past year, to catch up with Yan, Hu Liena had participated in a large number of battles.
With that high-quality Charm Head Bone, Hu Liena's spiritual power had also reached the level of a Soul Douluo.
In spiritual confrontations, few could rival her. With this advantage, she successfully killed thousands of fallen ones, significantly boosting her strength.
In the period that followed, Yan participated in fewer and fewer battles not only because there were fewer opponents, but also because the excessive killing had built up too much killing intent within him.
He had to spend time and energy to suppress the increasingly powerful killing intent.
Fortunately, that set of Tai Chi Inner Circulation Technique came in handy. Practicing it daily helped him maintain his sanity.
Unknowingly, Yan had been in Slaughter City for two years.
Three months ago, he achieved his ninety-ninth victory.
During these three months, he didn't participate in any battles because he had been waiting for Hu Liena to catch up.
The two had agreed that after both achieving one hundred victories, they would venture into the Hell Road together.
Tonight, after killing his final opponent, Yan achieved his one-hundredth victory.
Hu Liena followed closely and also obtained her one-hundredth victory.
A blood-red figure descended from the sky.
"Congratulations, young Flame Demon Monarch and Hell Envoy."
With the arrival of the Slaughter King, the atmosphere in the Hell Slaughter Arena instantly reached a climax.
"Slaughter King! Slaughter King!"
The fallen ones roared madly.
Yan knew that the true identity of the Slaughter King was actually Tang Chen. During the God Trials, he was ambushed by the Rakshasa God and parasitized by the Blood-red Nine-headed Bat King.
As long as he did not leave Slaughter City, he would forever be parasitized and serve as the Slaughter King here.
"Tonight, I am pleased to witness both of you achieve one hundred victories. I have decided to make an exception and bestow upon you the title of Slaughter Gods, and invite you to become honored guests of Slaughter City. From now on, you may come and go freely."
Hu Liena responded:
"Great Slaughter King, there's no need to break the rules of Slaughter City for us. I am willing to take on the trial of the Hell Road, to walk out of here and become a true Slaughter God."
"I share the same thought as the Hell Envoy. Please open the entrance to the Hell Road. I will take on the trial together with her."
Yan immediately followed.
The Slaughter King's expression changed. If it weren't for his fear of Bibi Dong, he would've already killed these two reckless youngsters.
"Since that's the case, then you may proceed. If you can pass the trial of the Hell Road, please send my regards to your elders."
After speaking, the Slaughter King released an extremely terrifying aura of evil.
That overwhelming evil aura quickly engulfed all the fallen ones in the Slaughter Arena.
Immediately after, the entrance to the Hell Road was opened.
"Good luck to you."
Yan suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet give way, and together with Hu Liena, he fell downward.
The two of them lost consciousness, as if they were falling into an endless abyss.
