Shen Hanyu was very puzzled right now.
With Bo Saixi's vision and insight, how could she possibly fail to recognize Tang Chen, whom she had longed for day and night? Not to mention noticing the abnormality on Tang Chen's body, yet she chose not to act and save him, instead leaving directly. This point left Shen Hanyu utterly baffled and unable to understand, no matter how much he thought about it…
If it were said that Bo Saixi herself chose to leave, Shen Hanyu was unwilling to believe it. After all, Bo Saixi clearly could see and resolve the issues on Tang Chen's body, yet she deliberately chose to leave on her own initiative…
The reasons behind this could not help but make one ponder deeply…
As for the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, Shen Hanyu had already confirmed the fact that this creature's mind was occasionally not very sharp. Moreover, making Bo Saixi take the initiative to leave was absolutely something it could not accomplish. Then the only possibility was…
Shen Hanyu glanced upward, then took out the Cold Heaven Spear. The chilling, keen spear blade pointed straight at Tang Chen, and with that, he thrust out a spear.
Tang Chen let out a soft sigh filled with countless regrets and remorse, then slowly closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of death…
Clang—!
Accompanied by a crisp sound of metal clashing, the Cold Heaven Spear was directly knocked away, and even Shen Hanyu could not help but retreat a step.
Tang Chen opened his previously closed eyes and looked in shock and confusion at the Asura Demonic Sword that was now blocking in front of him.
Shen Hanyu pulled the Cold Heaven Spear out from the rock and withdrew it, looking—as expected- at the Asura Demonic Sword that was emitting dense blood-red killing aura.
The Asura Demonic Sword released waves of extremely sharp killing intent. Shen Hanyu could not help but narrow his eyes. This Asura Demonic Sword was originally an existence that bestowed power upon the Asura God's chosen hunters. It could reverse-summon the heroic souls of Asura God's chosen hunters to assist in battle. In the hands of the Asura God, it served to judge all injustice and sin, and was a super divine weapon that maintained order.
A divine weapon like this naturally possessed its own pride. Toward Tang Chen, the once near-successful candidate who almost became its true master, this act of protection, whether done of its own volition or on the command of its current master, was in every way an expression of its attitude.
Snow Empress and Bai Nian came to Shen Hanyu's side. Snow Empress asked softly with some concern:
"Are you alright?"
Shen Hanyu shook his head slightly and said:
"I'm fine, just some recoil…"
Then Shen Hanyu shifted his gaze to the clearly somewhat stunned Tang Chen and said calmly:
"Leave the Slaughter City. Go to Sea God Island. Do not set foot on the continent again. Do not concern yourself with matters of the Clear Sky Sect anymore. Otherwise, I absolutely will not allow a threat like you to continue living in this world. This is the only chance you have to make amends to Bo Saixi. The Asura Demonic Sword can extend your life for you, but the time absolutely will not exceed three years. To put it bluntly, this can also be considered your final compensation…"
Tang Chen gave two bitter laughs, then could no longer hold back and threw his head back in loud laughter. A line of light tears slid from the corners of his eyes. Then the Asura Demonic Sword suddenly erupted with a terrifying surge of energy. This energy continuously poured into Tang Chen's shattered and broken body until his aura returned to normal before it stopped.
And the Asura Demonic Sword once again lost its luster. The thick and broad sword body flashed one final time, as if bidding farewell to Tang Chen, before slowly disappearing from Tang Chen's hand…
…
In the end, Tang Chen still left.
Before departing, he left behind an oath: after returning the token representing the position of sect master to the sect, he would set out for Sea God Island. Shen Hanyu could not be bothered to care about this. Tang Chen now possessed only the cultivation of a Limit Douluo in name, but his body was gravely injured. Moreover, with the Asura Demonic Sword forcibly infusing power to prolong his life, the toxin left by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King in his body had still not been completely purged and would erupt from time to time. In such a condition, let alone fighting, he was practically half a cripple…
Of course, he was a cripple who could still match an ordinary Super Douluo at ranks 96 or 97…
The current Tang Chen, even with the help of the Sea God's Light, could at best only feel slightly more comfortable in the days to come…
Even if he went against his oath and remained on the continent, so what? He no longer had the power to change the situation, nor the strength to alter it.
Toward the person Tang Chen, Shen Hanyu's feelings were very indifferent, just like toward Qian Daoliu. There was some appreciation, but not much. There was the thought of eliminating him once and for all, but it was not particularly intense. If one had to describe it, Shen Hanyu would rather become strangers with them.
After Tang Chen left, Shen Hanyu waved his hand to interrupt Snow Empress, who wanted to speak, then sighed and said:
"It doesn't affect anything. Anyway, this continent is already chaotic enough. A little more chaos won't matter, in fact, it adds a bit of fun to things…"
Snow Empress nodded slightly. Although she did not quite understand what Shen Hanyu meant, she also knew that Shen Hanyu rarely did anything without certainty or without careful consideration. Her trust in Shen Hanyu was near absolute.
Shen Hanyu shook his head, casting aside the complicated thoughts in his mind. Then he suddenly realized another matter.
Tang Chen had left, which also meant that the contemporary King of Slaughter had completely vanished. And the array leading to the Hell Road required the King of Slaughter to sacrifice a sufficient number of lives to activate.
Shen Hanyu sighed, then slowly rose into the air and said softly:
"Let's go. We've dealt with the biggest trouble. Now, there's still another matter waiting for us…"
Snow Empress nodded gently, then took Bai Nian and followed behind Shen Hanyu.
…
Outside the dilapidated palace complex, as Shen Hanyu and the other two slowly descended, several Slaughter Envoys and all the gathered Enforcement Team members immediately knelt on one knee in unison and said:
"We respectfully welcome the new King of Slaughter…"
The corner of Shen Hanyu's mouth twitched. He thought of something unpleasant, but still said:
"Get up…"
Only then did the group rise respectfully. Shen Hanyu's gaze turned to the Slaughter Envoy who had originally led them in when they first entered, and he said:
"Explain. What is going on?"
The Slaughter Envoy bowed respectfully, revealing a large expanse of fair skin, then said softly:
"To the supremely exalted King of Slaughter, according to the rules of the Slaughter City, the powerhouse who defeats the previous King of Slaughter is the rightful successor. From now on, in the Slaughter City, you are an existence above the rules…"
Shen Hanyu: "...…"
Snow Empress and Bai Nian gave Shen Hanyu a strange glance but did not speak.
Shen Hanyu rubbed his brow, the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably, but he still said:
"Gather enough fallen ones and send them into the Hell Slaughter Arena. I want to open the Hell Road…"
The Slaughter Envoys and all the Enforcement Team members respectfully complied, showing not the slightest confusion or resistance to Shen Hanyu's order. In their eyes, the fallen ones were undoubtedly the lowest existences in the entire Slaughter City, no different from ants.
After all the Enforcement Team members left, Shen Hanyu casually dismissed the several Slaughter Envoys as well. Snow Empress smiled lightly and pinched the soft flesh at Shen Hanyu's waist, then said:
"How does it feel to be treated like a god…"
Shen Hanyu smiled lightly and whispered something into Snow Empress's ear. Snow Empress's face instantly turned bright red. If Bai Nian were not still beside them, Shen Hanyu would probably have suffered a round of "loving punches."
Bai Nian watched the interaction between Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress from the side, unable to resist covering her eyes with her hands, yet still unable to suppress a little girl's natural curiosity as she peeked through her fingers at the two of them…
