Chapter 40: City of Killing.
Xiao Fei donned a mask and arrived alone at a tavern. The air inside was thick with murky air, and Xiao Fei noticed that all the decor was black.
Although it was daytime outside, the moment he entered, he felt a chill and darkness. The tavern was about 30% full. Despite the murky air, few people were talking, making it seem very quiet.
Xiao Fei found a seat and sat down. A man dressed in black with a cold expression approached him.
"What would you like?"
Xiao Fei said, "A Bloody Mary."
The waiter looked surprised. "Are you sure?"
Xiao Fei glanced at the waiter.
After a moment, the waiter brought a Bloody Mary and downed it. Xiao Fei felt a scalding, pungent smell of blood rushing into his mouth and nose. Without blinking, he finished the drink.
Xiao Fei then summoned his Fire Phoenix spirit and used his third spirit ability. In a matter of moments, he had slaughtered everyone in the restaurant.
The highest level of the people in the restaurant was at the level of a Soul Sect, making them instantly obliterated by Xiao Fei, including the waiter.
Xiao Fei entered the tavern, and a powerful flame instantly erupted from his body, reducing the entire tavern to ash. A black hole appeared in the ground, and Xiao Fei jumped in, following the path forward.
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the front: "Welcome to the City of Slaughter. This is the capital of Hell, a world of slaughter. Here, you can obtain anything you desire, but the price is your life."
A commotion ensued, and as Xiao Fei entered the corridor, he saw a group of knights, 101 in total.
The leader rode up and said, "I am Scott, the Dread Knight. You have broken the rules, and you must defeat me to enter."
Xiao Fei summoned his Fire Phoenix spirit, and his right hand transformed into a phoenix claw, grabbing Scott directly. The phoenix flames seemed to have a special effect on those in this place, making the claw indestructible. It finally landed directly on Scott's throat.
Xiao Fei said, "I believe I am qualified to enter the City of Slaughter!"
Scott nodded and handed Xiao Fei a sign with the number 5888.
Scott said, "This is your proof of being in Slaughter City. Please enter the city. Someone will meet you at the gate." Holding the sign, Xiao Fei strode forward.
A pitch-black city gate appeared before Xiao Fei, creating an oppressive atmosphere. Atop the massive gate, the words "Slaughter City" were emblazoned in large letters.
Two rows of black-armored warriors stood silently before Xiao Fei. Before he could show his ID card, a woman veiled in black emerged. "Welcome to Slaughter City," the woman's voice was pleasant. She stepped aside in front of Xiao Fei, gesturing for a visit.
"I'm your guide. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Within twelve hours, I will answer all your questions. After twelve hours, this will be where you live. You will officially become a member of the Slaughter City."
Xiao Fei looked at the girl in black veil, "Then what are the rules here?"
The girl in black veil said, "The biggest rule here is that there are no rules."
Xiao Fei asked in confusion, "No rules?"
The girl in black veil continued, "Yes, in the Slaughter City, except for the great King of Slaughter and some of his subordinates, no one can release spirit skills. So here, even if you are a Titled Douluo, without spirit skills you will be like an ordinary person."
"So here, you don't have to be afraid of those so-called high-level spirit masters, because here, everyone is equal and has no spirit skills. In the Slaughter City, as long as you have enough ability, you can do whatever you want. But I must remind you. Precisely because there are no rules here, you may face fatal danger at any time. In a sense, this is a paradise of sin."
"Paradise of sin?" Xiao Fei asked doubtfully.
"Yes. Because many people come here because they cannot survive in the outside world. They have to choose to enter. After coming here, you don't have to worry about being hunted down."
"Is there any way to get out?"
The black veil girl said calmly: "There is only one way to leave the Killing City. That is to win the championship of the Hell Killing Field, and after gaining the qualifications to challenge the Hell Road, you can rush out of the Hell Road and leave the Killing City. Anyone who is that strong will be given the title of Killing God. The Killing City has a history of thousands of years, and a total of eight Killing Gods have appeared."
Xiao Fei said: "Okay, take me to the Hell Killing Field."
The black veil girl said a little surprised: "Are you sure? Less than one-tenth of the people who enter there can walk out alive. It is also the place where our Killing City is most likely to reduce population. Everyone will be required to enter the Hell Killing Field once a year. As long as you can pass a battle, you can live in the Killing City for another year."
Xiao Fei said lightly: "No need, I came here just to kill, nothing else matters."
Then, Xiao Fei followed the black shark woman into the Hell Killing Field in the inner city.
Just like the original novel, this place is filled with carnage, and everyone lives like a beast. Brutalism, pleasure, recklessness, and bloodshed are the themes of this city, and they are everywhere.
The people here feel a bit like those in the zombie apocalypse of apocalyptic novels: mindless, only possessed by endless desire, especially a thirst for blood.
Xiao Fei knew this was due to the Bloody Mary, which contains a toxin similar to the drugs used in his past life, gradually robbing a person of their sanity, ultimately turning them into a beast driven only by lust.
Suddenly, a wave of soul power ripped through the air, and Xiao Fei quickly dodged to the side as a man wielding a machete attacked him. The man licked his tongue and said, "A youngster has appeared! Your blood must be delicious!"
He charged at Xiao Fei again. Xiao Fei narrowed his eyes, only to see a flash of light before him. The man, along with his weapon, was torn apart by Xiao Fei's steel claws.
The black-veiled girl was a bit surprised by this, but she finally said, "Let's go. Ahead is the Hell Killing Grounds. The heart of the Killing City."
Led by the black-veiled girl, Xiao Fei saw a unique building. It was circular, or more accurately, an irregular cone, with the largest area at the bottom and narrowing as it went up. It was somewhat similar to an ancient Colosseum.
"Are there no rules for fighting here?" Xiao Fei asked.
The black-veiled girl said, "It's simple. Once you enter, register with your ID card. To qualify for the fight, you contribute a Bloody Mary. It can be yours or someone else's. Then, wait for the match to begin. While you're waiting, you're not allowed to fight. Each group entering the Killing Grounds consists of ten people. No matter what method you use, as long as you make it out alive, only one person in each group will make it out alive."
As expected, this is the Killing City.
Xiao Fei walked over to someone nearby and saw that person holding a Bloody Mary, seemingly enjoying it. Xiao Fei said to him, "Please give me your Bloody Mary."
The people around him laughed, and the provoked man was furious, "Who are you? You dare to mess with me?"
When the man was about to attack Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei's right hand instantly transformed into a phoenix claw, his arm filled with flames, and the claws directly tore the man apart.
This was Xiao Fei's self-created soul skill - Phoenix Transformation. This move instantly frightened everyone around.
Holding a glass of Bloody Mary, Xiao Fei walked to the center of the ring and signed up for the ring match.
