Chapter 44 The Rules of the Killing City
The Killing City is a city intertwined with sin and death, and most of the people who come here are death row inmates who have fled from the mainland.
After walking through the long tunnel, Ye Yan was greeted by a city situated on lava. The city was entirely black and emitted a nauseating stench.
Upon closer inspection, you'll find that the black color is actually the color of blood that has dried and solidified!
How many people's blood would it take to dye the entire city this color?
Like the tunnel Ye Yan went through, there are many other tunnels that also lead to the Killing City.
Just as Ye Yan was about to enter the City of Slaughter, a group of people dressed in black armor stopped him and said, "The City of Slaughter is full for today."
The Killing City only accepts one hundred people from the outside world each day; if there are more...
Then throw them into the scalding lava beneath the city.
The two men clad in black armor are the masters of the Slaughter City, members of the Slaughter King's knightly squad. They are unaffected by the Slaughter City and can still use soul power and soul skills.
At this moment, the more muscular man reached out and was about to grab Ye Yan's head and throw him into the lava below.
A flash of light appeared, and the burly man rubbed his eyes, thinking he had imagined it, and reached out his hand.
Where's the hand?
The burly man looked at the hand that had fallen from his shoulder to the ground at some point, and there was a perfect cut on it. Even the blood didn't start flowing out until a while later.
"How is this possible!"
The armor he wore could withstand a full-force attack from a Soul Saint-level Soul Master, not to mention that it was impossible to use Soul Skills and Soul Power in the City of Slaughter.
Moreover, he didn't even see what happened. What happened?
"Did you do this?"
The burly man looked at Ye Yan with a hint of fear in his eyes. Just as Ye Yan raised his head and met his gaze, the burly man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
What to do? Someone possesses such a strong killing intent. Could he be a killing god who has already left the City of Slaughter?
Even the God of Slaughter must abide by the rules of the King of Slaughter!
He is a knight of the City of Slaughter, representing the face of the King of Slaughter! He will never back down!
Another white light flashed, but this time the burly man only felt his vision flip upside down before he fell into the lava.
The other knight was horrified to see his companion turn into a headless corpse. The speed was incredible; he hadn't even seen the opponent make a move!
"Do you know what killing a knight in the City of Slaughter means? It means declaring war on the King of Slaughter!"
Almost at that same time, knights clad in black armor rushed out of the City of Slaughter and surrounded Ye Yan.
The leader was surprised to see how young Ye Yan was, and then he saw the headless corpse on the ground.
"Who are you? What do you want in this City of Slaughter?"
A death row inmate trying to escape to the Killing City wouldn't do something so foolish, and neither would those high-achieving individuals who come to the Killing City for training.
Could this person be someone sent by a powerful force outside to gather intelligence?
Are they planning to take action against the Killing City?
"I wanted to go in, but he wouldn't let me. He tried to kill me, so I killed him. Is that enough of a reason?"
The leading man shook his head and continued, "Confess your purpose and the forces behind you, and I might grant you a quick death!"
In the City of Slaughter, even a Title Douluo would be suppressed by that invisible force and unable to use soul power and soul skills.
As the captain of the Knights, he had already reached the level of a level 87 Soul Douluo. Dealing with an intruder who had lost his soul power and soul skills would be a piece of cake for him.
Just as the captain was preparing to activate his eight spirit rings to deliver a full-force attack to Ye Yan.
brush--
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Yan sliced off his head with a single sword stroke.
"You'll die from talking too much" perfectly describes you.
Why would you think the enemy would just stand there stupidly waiting for you to unleash your ultimate move?
And they were completely unprepared.
Ye Yan looked around at the people and asked, "Anyone else who wants to kill me can step forward."
The group looked around at the people and then ran towards the direction of the Killing City.
This is the entrance to the Killing City.
A girl dressed in black Western Region clothing was also somewhat shocked to see so many knights. What was going on?
Just as the girl was about to ask a question, the knights ignored her, as if there was some terrifying presence behind them.
Could the King of Slaughter be the one who could inflict such deep psychological trauma on them?
As the girl was wondering what was going on, she noticed someone walking through the passage, and she immediately went up to greet him warmly.
"Welcome to Slaughter City! I'm your guide, so let me explain the rules of Slaughter City to you!"
This person is none other than Ye Yan!
Ye Yan instinctively wanted to swing his sword at the sight of the girl, but stopped himself in time after sensing that she had no intention of killing him.
There are many beings like this girl; they all share a common name: Slaughterers.
They are messengers of the King of Slaughter, unlike the knights.
The Slaughter Knights are responsible for upholding the rules of Slaughter City; anyone found violating the rules will be executed upon their return home. The Slaughter Messengers, on the other hand, are responsible for receiving outsiders who come to Slaughter City.
They represent the face of the King of Slaughter, so anyone who attacks them is violating the rules and will be punished by the Knights!
Out of curiosity, the girl asked, "What happened over there in the passage just now? Lots of knights ran over from that direction, and they seemed afraid of something. Is the King of Slaughter there?"
"have no idea."
Ye Yan then asked, "How can one elevate their killing intent to its peak?"
"You've come to the City of Slaughter for training? If you want to increase your killing intent, then just go to the Slaughter Arena in the inner city. As long as you can survive, your killing intent will increase significantly!"
"Take me there."
"The Killing City is divided into an inner city and an outer city. Unwarranted killing is not allowed in the outer city, while the inner city is the true Killing City!"
The Killing Arena is the craziest place in the inner city. Do you really want to go?
Seeing Ye Yan nod, the girl stopped trying to persuade him, since his death wouldn't affect her anyway.
He then led Ye Yan into the inner city and to a large arena in the center.
It looks similar to the Soul Arena, but it's filled with the stench of blood. The screams and cheers coming from the killing arena are enough to show how crazy it is.
As Ye Yan entered, several people set their sights on him.
While there's nothing required to participate in the Killing Arena, watching the matches requires offering a Bloody Mary.
Bloody Mary is actually made of human blood, which can be her own or someone else's.
At this moment, the group had their eyes on Ye Yan.
PS: Additional settings
Because there are some differences from the original setting, I'm adding this explanation here in case some readers find it confusing.
First, regarding the area beneath the City of Slaughter, the original text doesn't mention lava; it only exists beneath Hell Road. This was something I added based on my own imagination. Then there's the Knights. They don't appear much in the original text, but it's certain they maintain order in the City of Slaughter and deal with those who break the rules. My writing might have made the knights seem a bit cowardly, but that's how it is. Faced with a powerful enemy, their first thought is to run, not to stay and die. Finally, there's the girl who is the Slaughter Messenger. This hasn't been changed much, just some more description of her inner thoughts.
In short, I won't write too much about the plot of Slaughter City. The reason why the protagonist came to Slaughter City is because he was interested in the special killing intent on Tang Hao when he fought him before, which is the Killing God Domain, so he wanted to come to Slaughter City to see it for himself.
