"How about I just destroy this dark, evil, terrifying world?"
As soon as Tang San said this—
Not just "Oscar,"
Even Xiao Wu and the others were staring at him in utter disbelief.
What the hell are you talking about?!
"Tang San! Are you out of your mind?!" Xiao Wu scolded. "Precisely because the City of Slaughter is dark, it proves why it needs to exist!"
"Xiao Wu-jie is right." Shui Yue'er nodded. "Without the City of Slaughter, where would all those evil soul masters and criminals go? They'd just wreak havoc in the outside world."
"Also, have you forgotten something?" Shui Bing'er narrowed her eyes. "The City of Slaughter is a place of divine inheritance! If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"
"Exactly!" Zhu Zhuqing's voice was cold. "Whatever you want to do, wait until you've become a God of Slaughter. Then you can come back and do whatever you want. But not now!"
"Tang San, you really crossed the line this time." Dai Mubai frowned. "The City of Slaughter has been very cooperative with us in obtaining these rewards."
Even Oscar, Tang San's own disciple, was completely speechless at his master's brain-dead moment.
But he still had to help smooth things over, right?
So, controlling his body, he offered an out—
"Master, this is a big decision. How about we discuss it later?"
But Tang San didn't appreciate the gesture at all.
Despite everyone's objections, he still didn't put away the Snow Swan Kiss.
Instead, he stared directly at 'Oscar'—or rather, at Tang Lan inside Oscar's body.
"Oscar" glanced at Tang San indifferently and sighed in exasperation.
—Do you even know where the hell you are?
The next second—
At the exit, Ye Linsu suddenly appeared, extending a staff that stretched a hundred meters long, blocking Tang San's path.
Meanwhile, he let the other seven pass through the exit to receive their reward—the God of Slaughter Domain.
And Tang San?
Ye Linsu released his full Titled Douluo aura, instantly suppressing him.
With a flick of his staff, he hooked Tang San up by the collar, reeled him in, and snatched away the Snow Swan Kiss.
Then he stared at Tang San like he was a complete idiot.
—This dumbass actually wants to destroy my bro's territory?
Although Ye Linsu didn't rule the City of Slaughter the old-fashioned way with Yellow Springs Dew,
Tang San wasn't wrong about one thing—the Blood River was the foundation of the City of Slaughter.
Whether it was maintaining the Slaughter Domain or granting challengers the God of Slaughter Domain, everything relied on the Blood River.
He didn't recognize the Snow Swan Kiss,
But since Tang San dared to act up, he had to put a stop to it.
Ye Linsu's cold gaze locked onto Tang San, who was now bleeding from all seven orifices, murderous intent flashing in his eyes!
—I just took over, and you pull this crap?!
Tang San instantly regretted everything—he hadn't expected to be monitored down here!
But at this point, survival was his priority.
He activated Mysterious Heaven Skill and summoned his Titan Giant Ape Skull Bone,
Barely managing to squeeze out a single sentence—
"My brother is… the God of Slaughter!"
Ye Linsu: "…"
Bruh.
Trying to destroy the City of Slaughter? Even if the God of Slaughter himself came here, he'd still get skinned alive!
What was even the point of saying that?!
The worst part?
Tang San was Tang Lan's younger brother, so Ye Linsu actually couldn't kill him.
"Tch. How annoying!"
Ye Linsu grabbed Tang San and flew off to the side.
Then, at a concealed side exit, he kicked Tang San straight out.
"You little bastard, get lost as far as you can!"
"If you ever set foot in the City of Slaughter again, I'll skin you alive!"
Tang San didn't respond.
This side exit seemed to be some kind of "loophole".
He only felt his vision spinning, his already weakened body unable to hold on any longer.
His vision went black, and he passed out cold.
[System Notification]
[Host has granted Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Jing Ling the God of Slaughter Domain, enhancing their strength. Seized a portion of Tang San's fate!]
[Reward: 'Soul Bone Ability: Black Hole Domain' has evolved into a True Body Domain!]
Just as Tang Lan stepped out of the Hell Slaughtering Field,
He couldn't help but shake his head.
—I was feeling generous for once, actually considering giving that little brat a reward…
—And he still managed to screw it up himself?
—This little brat truly never disappoints, huh?
Tang Lan walked toward the God of Slaughter's exclusive passageway.
Ye Linsu was already waiting there, respectfully presenting the Snow Swan Kiss with both hands.
After Tang Lan accepted it—
Ye Linsu cautiously said—
"My Lord, I took the liberty of stripping your younger brother of his right to receive the God of Slaughter Domain."
"After all, his actions were witnessed by everyone."
"If no punishment was given, it could have caused… issues."
Tang Lan waved his hand dismissively.
"You made the right call."
"He simply wasn't meant to enjoy such rewards."
"Leave it at that."
"You'll be in charge of running the City of Slaughter. If anything comes up, just send me a message."
Ye Linsu exhaled in relief.
"Yes, my Lord! Safe travels!"
Tang Lan stepped through the passageway—
For a brief moment, he felt a slight disorientation.
Then—
He crossed through space and emerged outside.
After confirming his direction,
Tang Lan activated Blood Escape Technique and quickly found Tang San—who was embedded headfirst into the ground like an upside-down turnip.
With a flick of his spiritual power, he pulled him out.
Good grief!
His face had turned completely purple.
If Tang Lan hadn't arrived in time, who knew—Tang San might have just suffocated to death.
Tang Lan rubbed his forehead helplessly.
This guy just couldn't stop causing trouble.
He originally thought that with the "reform" of the City of Slaughter, Tang San would no longer be pulling the "this evil land must be destroyed" nonsense.
Yet here they were again.
Shaking his head,
Tang Lan sat down cross-legged, patiently waiting.
Over an hour later—
A ripple appeared in the air.
Jing Ling was spat out, crashing directly onto Tang San's back, bouncing off and rolling onto the ground.
"Pfft—!"
Tang San, already gravely injured, spat out a mouthful of blood,
Then promptly passed out again.
Absolutely tragic.
Tang Lan casually flicked his hand, sending two orbs of life energy into both of them.
Jing Ling immediately wobbled to his feet,
And upon seeing Tang Lan, he hurriedly saluted.
"Sect Master!"
Tang Lan raised his hand, signaling him to stand.
"Why are you out so soon? Did you grasp the God of Slaughter Domain?"
Jing Ling scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"I… I don't know if I grasped it or not… Sect Master, look."
He summoned his Skeleton Martial Soul.
A white pattern had appeared on its deep blue surface.
"Not bad." Tang Lan nodded. "That's the God of Slaughter Domain. Use your spiritual power to touch it, and you can activate it."
Jing Ling followed the instruction instinctively.
The next moment—
A surge of white light spread out, then quickly faded into colorlessness,
But a cold, chilling murderous intent howled through the air.
The life energy had stimulated Tang San, making him shudder involuntarily.
He jerked awake in a sudden kip-up,
Immediately locking onto Jing Ling, realization dawning upon him.
His face darkened instantly.
He had been thrown out from the side exit!
Then this God of Slaughter Domain…
After checking several times and confirming that he hadn't received anything,
Tang San turned to Tang Lan, just about to speak—
Only to be cut off by a raised hand.
"Xiao Sanzi," Tang Lan said flatly, "the King of Slaughter already showed you mercy for my sake. You're lucky to be alive."
"Don't expect anything more."
Tang San froze—
Completely blocked from speaking.
It was painful.
Jing Ling, too, was afraid of provoking Tang San any further.
He hurriedly retracted his God of Slaughter Domain and stood quietly aside, trying to blend into the background.
—With Tang San's personality, he'd definitely lash out if pushed.
Then, Tang San finally spoke again, bitterness in his voice—
"Brother, was I really wrong?"
"A place of filth and corruption… shouldn't it be destroyed?"
Tang Lan: "…"
This guy really doesn't give up, huh?
"By your logic," Tang Lan countered, "should all the prisons in the world be demolished too?"
"Of course not!" Tang San answered instinctively. "Prisons are needed to hold criminals. If they were torn down, society would fall into chaos!"
Tang Lan spread his hands.
—So you do understand.
And yet—
Right at that moment, Double-Standard Tang San spoke the most earth-shattering words imaginable—
