"Qian Daoliu, so it's you! You... you're in this together!! Why would you do this?!"
The King of Slaughter instantly understood everything upon seeing Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue. His fury surged, and he let out a furious roar.
Clearly, in the King of Slaughter's eyes, both Ye Feng and Qian Renxue had been arranged by Qian Daoliu to deliberately drain the lifeblood of Slaughter City.
He had been completely tricked!
"What nonsense are you spouting, King of Slaughter? Have you lost your mind? I came here today just to retrieve one person."
Qian Daoliu frowned, clearly not grasping the situation.
"Heh heh heh... Don't tell me the kid you're looking for is named Ye Feng?"
The King of Slaughter's voice grew increasingly icy, his rage barely contained.
"Yes, yes, that damned brat. Just hand him over, and I'll owe you a favor."
Though Qian Daoliu wore a smile, his tone was laced with gritted teeth.
He had to bring Ye Feng back alive to Qian Renxue.
Of course, he also wanted to see for himself what kind of person could captivate Qian Renxue so thoroughly.
"Good, good! So it's true... You're all in this together!!! DIE!!!"
Hearing Qian Daoliu's admission, the King of Slaughter's fury finally erupted completely.
In an instant, his entire body transformed into a boundless Blood Sea, surging toward Qian Daoliu.
"BOOM————"
The next moment, the endless Blood Sea collided violently with a blinding, sun-like Holy Light.
"Purify—"
An aged voice rang out, and in the next instant, the divine radiance exploded forth, evaporating ninety-nine percent of the Blood Sea in an instant.
Had this battle taken place within Slaughter City, Qian Daoliu might not have been able to subdue the King of Slaughter so quickly.
But outside the King of Slaughter's domain...
The Angel was invincible.
After all, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, parasitizing Tang Chen, could not unleash Tang Chen's true strength.
...
Outside Slaughter City, within a massive crater, Qian Daoliu pressed one foot against the King of Slaughter's face and leaned down with a smile.
"Old thing, reasoning with you was a courtesy. Now, hand him over obediently, and I might spare your life."
"He... he already escaped... I thought you were working together..."
The King of Slaughter spat blood, his mind buzzing.
It seemed... there might have been some misunderstanding...
"King of Slaughter, if you don't want to hand him over, just say so. No need to fabricate such a pathetic excuse!"
Qian Daoliu nearly laughed in anger.
"You expect me to believe that a mere child, unable to use Soul Skills, escaped right under your nose? Do you take me for a three-year-old?!"
"It's... it's true! Just moments ago, he left. I came out to chase him..."
The King of Slaughter hurriedly explained, "He comprehended the Slaughter Domain, making him immune to Slaughter City's rules. He even used some bizarre teleportation ability to flee..."
The King of Slaughter was truly terrified.
To be precise, it was the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King that feared for its life.
As a parasite, it dreaded the Angel's holy power the most.
Had Qian Daoliu struck a little harder earlier, its host might have been purified on the spot, rendering this body useless.
At this moment, the King of Slaughter had completely lost the ferocious aura he had at the beginning.
"What!? You're saying that kid not only escaped right under your nose but also comprehended the Slaughter Domain!?"
Qian Daoliu was visibly shocked upon hearing this.
The fact that the King of Slaughter had been beaten to such a state clearly meant he wasn't lying.
In other words, the Ye Feng that Qian Renxue had mentioned...
"Impossible. How could there be such a monstrous talent in this world, comprehending a Domain on his own? How old is he even..."
Qian Daoliu muttered to himself, still unable to believe it.
"What? Ye Feng left!? Where did he go? When did he leave? Is he hurt!?"
At this moment, Qian Renxue finally had the chance to step forward, asking urgently with clear agitation, her worry for Ye Feng evident.
"That kid just left not long ago. I chased after him immediately and ran into you... Earlier, I could still faintly sense his presence, but now it's completely gone..."
"And he vanished right before my eyes. What could possibly have happened to him..."
The King of Slaughter had been thoroughly beaten into submission.
Though he was bloodthirsty, he wasn't stupid.
With his head currently being stepped on, he had no doubt that any further defiance would result in his skull being crushed.
"Ye Feng really escaped! That's wonderful!"
Qian Renxue quickly flew over, letting out a deep sigh of relief, her face filled with joy.
"Do you know which direction that kid ran off to?"
Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, his mood inexplicably souring as he subtly increased the pressure under his foot.
"North! I was originally planning to chase him in that direction!" The King of Slaughter felt his head was about to explode and hurriedly answered.
Afraid that even a moment's delay would cost him his life.
If only he hadn't left Slaughter City in the first place...
The moment he saw Qian Daoliu, he should have fled instead of attacking first.
But at the time, he had assumed Qian Daoliu was allied with that kid named Ye Feng, and rage had clouded his judgment, leading him to strike first...
Now, he was filled with nothing but regret—deep, profound regret.
"Fine, you can scram now."
Seeing that he couldn't extract any more information, Qian Daoliu finally lifted his foot and casually kicked the King of Slaughter away.
As if swatting aside a stray dog.
To Qian Daoliu, the King of Slaughter really wasn't much different from a wild dog.
Still, he had no intention of killing him. There was no real enmity between them, and the King of Slaughter's management of Slaughter City had helped purge many Evil Spirit Masters from the continent, making him somewhat useful.
Of course, if one were to be technical, the King of Slaughter was the most powerful Evil Spirit Master of all.
But since he rarely ever left Slaughter City, he was tolerated.
"Thank you for your mercy, my lord..." The King of Slaughter left these words before instantly dissolving into a bloody mist, scrambling back to Slaughter City in a panic.
He swore to himself that until he fully mastered Tang Chen's body, he would never set foot outside Slaughter City again.
...
"Xue'er, let's go. The boy you've taken a liking to seems quite capable. I'm growing more and more curious..."
Qian Daoliu gazed northward as he spoke calmly.
"Grandfather... Since Ye Feng is fine, perhaps you should return first? You do have many duties to attend to, after all..."
At this moment, Qian Renxue wasn't as anxious as before. Instead, she seemed somewhat nervous, clearly not wanting Qian Daoliu to find Ye Feng.
"Xue'er, you were crying and begging me to find Ye Feng earlier. Why are you going back on your words now?" Qian Daoliu's lips twitched slightly, looking rather speechless.
"Well... I... I'm afraid you might hurt him..."
Blushing, Qian Renxue hesitated before finally voicing her concerns.
Judging from her grandfather's earlier reaction, she was genuinely afraid that once he found Ye Feng, he might slap him to death with one strike.
