"I am Blood Warrior Xilan. Defeat me, and you will earn the right to enter the City of Slaughter..... Ah, greetings, esteemed lords. The City of Slaughter welcomes your arrival. It is the greatest honor of my life to receive you!"
Before the blood-armored figure could finish speaking, under Muyang's Soul Capturing Secret Art, his attitude took a complete 180-degree turn. He brought his legs together, put away the long spear in his hands, and bowed respectfully, his tone filled with utmost sincerity.
"!!!"
This scene nearly made the black-armored warriors drop their jaws in shock.
Was this really their superior, who usually acted like a living corpse?
Like a small knife cutting open a new world, this was truly eye-opening!
Ignoring the reactions of his subordinates, Blood Warrior Xilan took out two black tokens from his storage soul tool and respectfully handed them to Muyang. "Esteemed lords, these are your identification tokens for the City of Slaughter.
I have important duties and cannot leave my post. At the city gate, an envoy will receive you and provide all necessary information about the City of Slaughter."
Muyang casually took the tokens and saw that they were engraved with a skull, along with a serial number beneath. One was numbered 6666, and the other 8888.
"Thoughtful of you~!"
Muyang nodded in satisfaction and handed the 6666 token to Shui Bing'er.
It was obvious that these specially numbered identification tokens were intentionally given by Blood Warrior Xilan. There was no way it was just a coincidence.
"It is my honor to serve you both!"
Blood Warrior Xilan quickly added another compliment before turning to one of his subordinates, a black-armored warrior with a skull medal on his chest—an insignia distinguishing him from the others. "You, take your squad and escort these esteemed lords."
". Yes, Lord Xilan!"
The black-armored squad leader hesitated for a moment, unable to understand what was going on with his superior, but still responded loudly.
No matter what kind of madness the superior was showing, as a subordinate, it was best to obey. After all, Lord Xilan was not known for his kindness.
The massive black city gates exuded an oppressive aura, and above them, four grand characters read "City of Slaughter."
Before the gates, two rows of black-armored warriors stood in complete silence, but their gazes were filled with surprise as they observed Muyang and Shui Bing'er approaching under the escort of ten black-armored warriors.
What was going on? Was the City of Slaughter receiving honored guests?
Although black-armored warriors held no particularly high status within the City of Slaughter—just city guards, essentially—they had never encountered such an unusual situation before.
At that moment, a woman with a black veil covering her face emerged from within the city.
Upon seeing the numbers 6666 and 8888, as well as the black-armored warriors escorting them, she was momentarily taken aback.
However, having spent a long time in the City of Slaughter, she had seen countless things that defied logic or shattered common sense. This was just a small matter—not surprising at all.
"Welcome to the City of Slaughter!"
The veiled woman quickly approached the two and gestured for them to enter.
Without hesitation, Muyang and Shui Bing'er followed her through the gates.
The City of Slaughter was divided into an outer and an inner city. The outer city still maintained a semblance of order. There were many people, and at first glance, aside from the overwhelming dark aura surrounding the place and the emaciated figures of most of its inhabitants, it did not seem all that different from an ordinary city in the outside world.
"You two, I am your guide. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
For the next twelve hours, I will answer any and all questions you have. After that, this place will become your new home, and you will officially become part of the City of Slaughter."
The veiled woman spoke as she led them forward.
Muyang waved his hand dismissively and said, "Take us to the Hell Slaughter Arena."
Before coming to the City of Slaughter, Muyang had made thorough preparations. He had even anticipated that the Slaughter King, upon realizing they had no backing from a Killing God, might arrange for powerful opponents to ambush them within the city.
However, there was one problem Muyang could not solve—the unique environment of the City of Slaughter. Once a person killed here, their bloodlust would be greatly amplified.
This bloodthirst could be temporarily suppressed with Bloody Mary, but that was merely a short-term solution.
Not to mention, Bloody Mary was made from human blood. Who in their right mind would willingly drink such a thing?
Thus, Muyang had no intention of staying in the City of Slaughter for long. He needed to complete a hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena as quickly as possible and leave with Shui Bing'er—before either of them lost their sanity.
"The Hell Slaughter Arena? It seems you two are well-informed about the City of Slaughter."
Hearing Muyang's request, the veiled woman was slightly surprised.
Her first thought was to associate them with either the Spirit Hall or the two current Killing Gods.
The City of Slaughter had no exit. Only the two existing Killing Gods had ever survived and left, and aside from them, the only organization in the continent that had substantial knowledge of the City of Slaughter was Spirit Hall, which maintained a cooperative relationship with the city.
In her mind, these two individuals had to be either related to the Killing Gods or from Spirit Hall.
Muyang nodded slightly. "Lead the way."
"Please, follow me."
With that, the veiled woman led them toward the inner city.
The City of Slaughter was even larger than Muyang had imagined. After walking for half an hour, the veiled woman finally led them to a towering city wall.
Compared to the outer wall of the City of Slaughter, this inner wall was not as high—only about ten meters at its tallest point.
Clearly, beyond this wall lay the inner city of the City of Slaughter.
The gates to the inner city were wide open, without a single guard stationed. The veiled woman explained, "The inner city does not require guards. Anyone from the outer city can enter if they dare.
Of course, once inside, they must be prepared to face the unknown dangers that await.
You two may be powerful and might have come here to earn the Killing God's title.
But I would advise against rushing into the Hell Slaughter Arena. Observe the inner city for a while and familiarize yourselves with its environment first."
"How many people live in the inner city?" Muyang asked after a moment of contemplation. "I mean those required to participate in the arena battles."
To pass the Hell Road and earn the Killing God's Domain—securing a qualification for the Asura God's trial—one must first achieve one hundred consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena.
Each victory required the elimination of nine fallen individuals. A hundred victories meant killing nine hundred.
Since Shui Bing'er also needed a hundred victories, their combined total would be eighteen hundred fallen individuals.
And that was only counting their direct eliminations. The actual number of participants required would be even higher.
If the inner city's population was not large enough, they might not be able to complete the hundred victories in a short time, delaying their escape from the City of Slaughter.
