Chapter 4 Don't Drink That Dew of the Underworld
With Li Pu's reminder, Bibi Dong quickly figured out the skill of shooting spider silk from her wrists in the next few days.
Furthermore, they can swing at incredible speed between the buildings of the Killing City, and use this to easily restrain enemies.
Moreover, it didn't consume much of her soul power, and it became her greatest weapon in the following hellish killing arena.
After living in the killing city for a while, Bibi Dong's expression became colder than when she first arrived, and she even exuded a faint bloody aura.
Cold, bloodthirsty, and cruel have long been synonymous with her.
It's not enough to have strong soul power to defeat an opponent. Bibi Dong has already killed several opponents with soul power exceeding level 80.
A Soul Master without Soul Skills is like a tiger that has lost its claws and teeth.
Moreover, with her new silk-spitting soul skill, Bibi Dong is even more terrifying, like a hunting machine.
Even though Bibi Dong is very strong, her beauty is still coveted by many. If they don't take a chance, who knows if they can succeed?
Still, no one has succeeded.
During this period, Li Pu and Bibi Dong kept in touch, and over time, they became friends.
Bibi Dong could tell that Li Pu wanted to leave the City of Slaughter, and the only person he could make friends with was her, a fellow trainee. It was good that she had this friend here.
Time passed in waiting and cultivation. Bibi Dong sat cross-legged in her small house, a chilling aura emanating from her body. A powerful killing intent constantly swirled around her, influencing her as well.
At first, the rising murderous aura didn't seem like much, but after she had killed more than a hundred people here, she found that this murderous aura began to affect her own will.
At first, he only occasionally showed bloodlust, but as time went on, his murderous aura became more and more obvious, as if he wanted to kill any living creature he saw, and killing a person was as easy as crushing an ant.
She now seems to have developed an intense craving for blood, as if only blood can suppress her bloodlust.
From the very beginning, she scoffed at such things and would never touch them.
As her bloodlust and murderous intent grew increasingly agitated, after eliminating a Fallen who attempted to ambush her, the Fallen's blood became incredibly alluring, making her unable to resist.
A voice inside her kept telling her, "It's okay, just a sip won't hurt. Others succumb to depravity because they can't control themselves and their willpower isn't strong enough. I'm just taking a few sips to suppress it, it'll be fine..."
"It's okay."
Gradually, Bibi Dong could no longer control herself and immediately used the blood of the fallen ones she had killed to concoct a cup of Yellow Spring Dew.
Just as she was about to drink it to calm her agitated emotions, a hand suddenly reached out and knocked the Yellow Spring Dew out of her hand.
Huang Quanlu was sent flying. Bibi Dong looked at the newcomer with a fierce glint in her eyes, almost ready to kill him. When she saw Li Pu, she still had the urge to kill him, but she managed to suppress it, though she was still very angry.
"What do you want? Don't think that just because you're my friend I won't lay a hand on you!"
Li Pu said calmly, "I always thought you knew."
"What do you know?" Bibi Dong asked, displeased.
"This city of slaughter is inherently poisonous. The more you drink this stuff, the deeper you become poisoned. It's a slow-acting poison hidden in your blood. Once you take the first sip, you'll take a second, a third, and so on, endlessly, until you're completely corrupted," Li Pu said earnestly.
Bibi Dong's face immediately turned ugly, and she looked at Li Pu in disbelief.
Li Pu continued, "This poison doesn't initially appear in the blood, but in the air. Affected by the toxins in the air and stimulated by one's own killing intent, it needs fresh blood to calm its agitation. Over time, it may become addictive. The poison in the blood can excite people and even make them stronger. But once the deadly poison is activated, probably no one can resist it. Even if you complete a hundred rounds, you still won't be able to get out of Hell Road!"
Bibi Dong took two steps back. She hadn't expected the situation in the Slaughter City to be even more terrifying than she had imagined. No wonder only seven people had been able to leave the Slaughter City over the past thousand years.
If I really fail, then what's the point of talking about revenge!
"How can I suppress these restless emotions? Every time I deal with those degenerates, my emotions will continue to surge, and eventually I won't be able to control them!"
Bibi Dong thought that the Yellow Springs Road was both a poison and an antidote; as long as they worked together, they could still control it.
Li Pu grabbed Bibi Dong's hand: "Come with me, I have a way to solve this."
Bibi Dong let Li Pu grab her and take her somewhere. Perhaps Li Pu was just a child and didn't think much of it, but if it were any other man, he would have chopped her hand off long ago.
The two soon arrived at a place, which was Li Pu's residence.
On the table was a chessboard, and Li Pu was sitting in the chess position, with Bibi Dong sitting beside him.
What does this mean?
"This is called cultivating one's state of mind."
Li Pu said.
"Cultivating one's state of mind?" Bibi Dong said, not understanding.
Li Pu explained earnestly, "Although I was born in the City of Slaughter, I also know that Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent only pursue pure power and how to become stronger quickly. So-called geniuses are just geniuses who compete in cultivation speed, thus neglecting the cultivation of their mental state. Even a madman can become stronger through pure cultivation, just like in this City of Slaughter."
Suddenly, Bibi Dong understood as if struck by lightning, and her mind became much clearer.
Thinking back, I realized that I had been too obsessed with power in my quest to take revenge on Qian Xunji. If I were to become obsessed with the power of revenge, I might actually succumb to the influence of this city of slaughter.
"No wonder you're so young, yet you've managed to establish yourself in the City of Slaughter and maintain a clear head. I see."
Bibi Dong had to admit that Li Pu's excellence in this area was even greater than Yu Xiaogang's, and he could only pursue the theoretical aspects of a Soul Master.
As originally planned, Bibi Dong still drank the Yellow Spring Dew, still completed a hundred Hell Slaughter Arenas, still completed the Hell Road, and still obtained the God of Slaughter Domain.
Even if one goes out, one still cannot control the murderous aura and bloodlust of the God of Slaughter domain, and may be prone to backlash. To control it, one needs to cleanse oneself of worldly desires, cultivate one's character, calm down, and purify one's mind.
The Spirit Hall naturally has its own methods for cleansing itself of its impurities, and Tang Yuehua of the Clear Sky Sect also has such methods.
Tang San's 30,000-year-old Xuan Tian Gong and Blue Silver Domain are not as effective as simply learning aristocratic etiquette to solve the problem of controlling the God of Slaughter Domain, which shows how powerful the field of art and culture is.
Li Pu didn't want to go out to practice, so he directly engaged in artistic cultivation in the Killing City.
