The two earned those titles because their fighting styles and the way their battles unfolded were simply over the top.
As a female genius, Hu Liena's abilities were outstanding, but they were nothing compared to Jiang Xiaofeng's, which is why she was called the Slaughter Envoy.
Jiang Xiaofeng, however, was different. In every single match, no one dared to fight him alone; everyone always teamed up against him, putting nine people against him. But even then, they couldn't break through his defenses.
Sometimes, even when nine people attacked Jiang Xiaofeng simultaneously, he could withstand all their attacks with just his body. Furthermore, if he used his sword, they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
It was precisely because of this that the name of Asura became more and more renowned throughout the City of Slaughter.
As time passed, Jiang Xiaofeng and Hu Liena's win counts reached over fifty and sixty matches, respectively.
And now, over two years had already gone by.
Because the two of them were too formidable, not many dared to participate in the City of Slaughter's arena. Unless absolutely necessary, their win count increased very slowly.
It was precisely because of this slow progress that Jiang Xiaofeng was currently very distressed. He'd originally thought he could reach 100 victories in two years at the fastest. However, after more than two years, he only had around sixty wins. This was somewhat unexpected for him.
"Nana, what did the Slaughter Envoy say?"
Hu Liena also wore a helpless expression.
"There's nothing we can do. The Slaughter Envoy sister said it's the rules; they can't arrange a battle for us every day. So, if we want to reach a hundred wins, it'll take at least another two years!"
Jiang Xiaofeng gazed at the overcast sky, a thought in his heart that he didn't know whether to voice.
After more than two years, Jiang Xiaofeng's cultivation realm, his cultivation base, was still stuck at the Golden Core Stage, First Heaven!
No matter how Jiang Xiaofeng cultivated, his realm and cultivation base wouldn't budge an inch.
Even though he had been constantly absorbing that mysterious spiritual energy, his cultivation level hadn't increased at all. Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't feel any signs of a breakthrough, which was incredibly frustrating.
"I can't break through my cultivation, and I can't get enough wins. This City of Slaughter is trying to trap us here."
Hu Liena chuckled, saying, "Come on, Feng-ge, what are you talking about? Since we came to the City of Slaughter, our basic abilities have improved tremendously. Even if we left now, we could probably handle a Soul Saint."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded. Coming to the City of Slaughter did have many benefits, but the time it would take to leave was far from what he had anticipated. The thought of Bibi Dong, whom he missed day and night, occupied his entire mind.
"There are definitely many benefits, but I don't know when we'll be able to leave. If it weren't for that Deathgod Domain, I'd really regret it!"
Hu Liena shook her head with a wry smile. He also wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the number of wins had been stuck at fifty-something, and in the past few months, he had only been in one match per month.
"The Slaughter Envoy sister said a newcomer arrived in the City of Slaughter today!"
Jiang Xiaofeng casually said, "The City of Slaughter gets ten or eight newcomers every day. Sometimes even dozens arrive. What's so special about that?"
Hu Liena shook her head, saying, "Besides trying to find a way out, can't you observe your surroundings? This newcomer is really handsome. I think he's already surpassed you in looks."
Jiang Xiaofeng's spirits immediately perked up.
"What? Someone is handsomer than me? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Hu Liena said, "I'm not lying to you. The Slaughter Envoy sister said so. As for what he actually looks like, I'm not sure. How about we go watch his match tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow? This guy is so confident? He's a bit like me, isn't he?"
"Stop being so full of yourself. I think you're just jealous. I'm going no matter what, and I want to see if the Slaughter Envoy sister was telling the truth. There's actually a man handsomer than Brother Feng? I really want to see him."
Jiang Xiaofeng crossed his arms.
"Tch, fine, I'll reluctantly go and see what this guy looks like. Does he really have three heads and six arms or something?"
"...Stop talking nonsense. We'll see tomorrow!"
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't give it another thought, casting the matter aside. If Hu Liena hadn't specifically dragged him to the arena the next day, he probably would have missed it entirely.
However, when he saw the man, Jiang Xiaofeng frowned. Why did he have a slight feeling of familiarity, yet mostly of estrangement?
"What's this guy's name?"
Hu Liena, next to him, said impatiently, "Are you here to watch the match or are you thinking about something else? They already introduced him. His name is Tang Yin, and he's fifteen years old, two years younger than you and me!"
Jiang Xiaofeng frowned slightly.
"Tang? His martial soul…"
And just then, the match officially began.
On the arena, Tang Yin summoned his martial soul, the very familiar Clear Sky Hammer.
Jiang Xiaofeng finally understood.
No wonder he felt a bit of familiarity; he had sensed the aura of the Clear Sky Hammer on him. This guy's surname was Tang, so he should be from the Clear Sky Sect.
He just didn't know what relationship this guy had with Tang San.
"Clear Sky Hammer? This guy's from the Clear Sky Sect. Does Brother Feng want to spar with him?"
Jiang Xiaofeng watched Tang Yin's battle on the stage.
This guy used the Clear Sky Hammer throughout the entire fight, which was quite different from Tang San.
However, compared to himself now, they were not on the same level; there was no comparison at all.
"This is boring. I'm going home to sleep. I'll come back when they arrange a match for me!"
Jiang Xiaofeng was stopped by a hand.
"You're not allowed to leave! You haven't said who's more handsome, you or him?"
Jiang Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and said, "How would I know? I'm not like you women, only caring about looks. But I'm definitely better-looking than him. Of course, it's best if you avoid him. As a member of the Clear Sky Sect, he's our enemy, understand?"
Hu Liena smiled and said, "Always so vain. I know, I know. If you don't want to watch, let's go."
Jiang Xiaofeng and Hu Liena got up and left, not intending to watch the rest of the match.
Tang Yin on the stage had already taken all of this in.
The moment he saw Jiang Xiaofeng and Hu Liena leave, Tang Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are they here too? This is a bit troublesome. If it were just Hu Liena, I could handle it, but that Jiang Xiaofeng really gives me a headache."
Even though he had improved a lot over the years, the fear of being dominated by Jiang Xiaofeng back then still lingered. While he was growing, Jiang Xiaofeng probably wouldn't fall behind either. It seems he still needs to hide his identity.
Should he let Tang San die in the City of Slaughter, or let him develop further?
