"If the Spirit Hall, which prides itself on justice, knew about the existence of Slaughter City, wouldn't they come to wipe you out?"
"What if they know? First of all, wiping out Slaughter City wouldn't benefit them at all. Mr. 9528, have you forgotten that the people who can enter Slaughter City are all criminals? The Spirit Hall probably wishes all the villains on the continent would come here!"
Tang San nodded. Indeed, as Blood Rose said, Slaughter City is a natural prison for the Spirit Hall, helping them trap some heinous criminals. Perhaps the food source for Slaughter City is provided by the Spirit Hall.
The desperados here don't seem like they would be content with farming or animal husbandry.
After asking Blood Rose several questions about Slaughter City, the woman turned to look at Tang San.
"So, would you like to familiarize yourself with the environment of Slaughter City next, Mr. 9528?"
"Oh right, as a newcomer, if you stay by my side, you have a 12-hour newbie protection period!"
The black-veiled woman's words made Tang San frown. After following this woman all the way, he already had a basic understanding of the rules of Slaughter City and the surrounding environment. Everything here made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Whether it was those who paid two cups of Bloody Mary every month to avoid the Hell Slaughter Arena, or those desperados who were amiable one second and would take your head the next.
"No need, just take me to the Hell Slaughter Arena."
As for Slaughter City, Tang San just wanted to complete the assessment and leave as soon as possible. He was afraid that if he stayed here for too long, he would become a madman who only knew how to kill.
Because he found that in this Slaughter City, he didn't even need to deliberately control himself, and the killing intent would gush out unconsciously. Only by constantly killing could he suppress the hostility in his heart. Over time, he would definitely get lost in this boundless slaughter.
As for what the woman said about Slaughter City being a paradise for the fallen, Tang San just listened and smiled. Along the way, those thin existences who relied on a total of Bloody Mary every month, where did they look like they were here to enjoy themselves?
To be precise, this is more like a paradise for the fallen who possess powerful strength. He is not some heinous criminal, so it is better to get out as soon as possible.
Blood Rose smiled and did not refuse Tang San's request, continuing to lead him to a special building.
The building is generally circular, or more precisely, an irregular cone shape. The bottom has the largest volume, and it narrows as it goes up. The entire building is 50 meters high.
"Excuse me, are there any rules for the battles in this Hell Slaughter Arena?"
"It's very simple. After entering, register with your identity plate and wait for the match to begin. You are not allowed to attack before the match starts. Each match will have ten participants. Regardless of what means you use, the last one to survive is considered the winner."
Tang San nodded to show that he understood, and was secretly surprised in his heart. A ten-to-one elimination rate, no wonder those who are not strong are willing to offer blood every month rather than participate in the Slaughter Arena's competition.
However, Tang San had confidence in his heart. Isn't this Slaughter City, which does not allow the use of Soul Skills, the best place to display his Tang Sect's hidden weapons and unique skills?
After thinking for a moment, Tang San directly bid farewell to Blood Rose and walked into the Slaughter Arena. After showing his identity token to the front desk, he came to a corner to wait.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the open space in front. There were already four people waiting there. Among these four people, there were those with rough appearances and tall statures, and there were also those with pale and gloomy complexions. What they had in common was that their eyes were full of killing intent when they looked at each other.
After Tang San entered, these four people also locked their eyes on him, but they retracted them after a few glances. Obviously, they did not think that Tang San, who was unremarkable and obviously still a child, would pose a threat to them.
After a long wait, the ten people participating in this Hell Slaughter Arena were finally gathered. The last person to enter was a middle-aged man with a pale face, thin muscles, and sunken eye sockets. Now he had a deathly gray complexion, obviously someone who was forcibly pushed into the arena because his body was not enough to offer Bloody Mary.
With the appearance of some Slaughter Knights, the ten people including Tang San were taken into the fighting arena.
It was very simple, even inferior to the Spirit Duel Arena of the Elite Soul Master Competition's preliminary round, but it would determine the life and death of the ten people present.
As one of the knights issued the order to start the slaughter, the personnel who entered, including Tang San, instantly tensed up.
A trace of purple appeared in Tang San's eyes. Purple Demon Eyes activated. His little life was at stake, so he didn't dare to be careless.
In the end, the tall and burly man who had registered first took the lead in launching an attack on the surrounding people. The man wielded a large knife, and with a few moves, he took the life of another brawny man holding an iron hammer.
Tang San watched coldly, not in a hurry to attack. Watching from the sidelines to conserve energy was obviously a good idea.
The brawny man with the blade was also quite obliging, clearing the arena until only Tang San and that unfortunate soul with vacant eyes remained, before turning his attention to the Tang God King.
In the brawny man's eyes, these two posed the least threat. One emanated no killing intent, clearly a newbie to Slaughter City, while the other lacked even the will to fight.
The brawny man hoisted his greatsword onto his shoulder, approaching Tang San step by step, a sinister grin on his face.
"Kid, it's your turn."
The corners of Tang San's mouth curved into a smile as his jade-like right hand caressed his Soul Tool.
"Thank you for helping me deal with those people. Now... you can die too!"
The brawny man was slightly taken aback, never expecting such words from the little bean sprout in front of him under these circumstances.
Enraged, he raised his greatsword, intending to chop at Tang San, but after taking two steps forward, he suddenly stopped, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he collapsed to the ground.
Embedded in his neck was a small Willow Leaf Dart, piercing deeply through his carotid artery.
Tang San stepped forward and retrieved the Willow Leaf Dart. Although he had many such hidden weapons in his Soul Tool, materials and tools for crafting them were scarce in Slaughter City, so it was best to conserve them.
Having dealt with the brawny man, Tang San slowly approached the emaciated man who had been sitting paralyzed in the arena since the beginning. The man seemed to sense someone approaching him, and his body trembled involuntarily.
"I'm sorry, you don't deserve to die, but fate has decreed this calamity."
After sending him off painlessly, the Slaughter Knight announced Tang San's victory. Tang San, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, walked out of the Hell Slaughter Arena and saw Blood Rose approaching.
"Oh, it seems I underestimated Mr. 9528. I thought that was our last meeting!"
"Here, have a drink."
Tang San took the large, red-tinged cup exuding a bloody smell. After a moment of internal struggle, he drained it in one gulp, forcing down the urge to vomit and tightly pursing his lips.
Now that he had decided to survive in this Slaughter City, he couldn't avoid drinking this Bloody Mary.
Sure enough, after a few dozen seconds, Tang San felt the liqi produced by the slaughter in his heart diminish significantly.
"It seems Mr. 9528 is adapting well. Then, I'll take my leave. I wish you a pleasant life in Slaughter City!"
