Chapter 41: Slaughter.
Xiao Fei, holding his number plate, waited nearby.
A ring match was currently underway in the Slaughter City. Xiao Fei sat in the stands, carefully observing the battle. The fighting was simple. Without spirit rings, few used spirit skills, and most engaged in combat with swords.
Soon, it was Xiao Fei's turn. As he stepped onto the ring, he felt a absorbing force within, making his blood boil. Xiao Fei walked alone, ignoring the nine people around him.
For Xiao Fei, who had already mastered the beast transformation of his limbs without using spirit skills, this seemed like a bug in the Slaughter City. The remaining nine were quickly dispatched by Xiao Fei.
Using his mental power, Xiao Fei carefully felt the bodies of the nine men and felt their blood gradually disappear, as the floor of the ring absorbed it.
Could this be the source of Bloody Mary? Xiao Fei shook his head in confusion and stepped off the ring.
For the next period of time, Xiao Fei would typically hold a ring match every three to five days. Most of those killed by Xiao Fei were those who attacked him. In just a few days, no fewer than a hundred people had died.
Time flew by, and a year passed quickly. During this year, Xiao Fei was constantly engaged in battle. The Slaughter City posed various dangers: food, threats from the crowd, and even numerous sieges. Xiao Fei easily overcame them all.
The air of the Slaughter City seemed to harbor a toxin that affected people's mental strength, inducing them to kill.
Thanks to the Spiritual Wisdom Skull, Xiao Fei was less susceptible to the mental effects. The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone was a potent healing elixir, allowing for rapid recovery from injuries sustained.
In that year, Xiao Fei participated in a staggering 61 Slaughter City bouts. During this same year, Hu Liena and Tang San also arrived in the Slaughter City.
Tang San's name was Thousand-Handed Shura, Hu Liena's was Hell's Messenger, and Xiao Fei's was Phoenix Slayer.
During this time, Hu Lina approached Xiao Fei about forming an alliance, and Xiao Fei expressed his willingness to accept. However, Xiao Fei gave Hu Lina a distinct sense of distrust.
For Hu Liena, one of the Spirit Hall's three biggest pitfalls, friendship was essential, but trust was out of the question. Of course, Xiao Fei held a similar attitude toward Tang San: friendship was acceptable, but trust was not.
The following year, Xiao Fei's greatest challenge wasn't the battles in the Hell Killing Fields, but rather the struggle of finding partners.
Each competition in the Hell Killing Fields required ten participants, and whenever Xiao Fei entered, it was virtually impossible to find anyone else to sign up, leaving him deeply frustrated.
Time passed in waiting and training. Sitting cross-legged in his small room, Xiao Fei felt waves of icy coldness course through his body.
As his victories mounted, Xiao Fei's murderous aura grew stronger, a vast, veiled killing intent that seemed to coalesce into every cell, into his blood, into his very bones.
Simultaneously, a bloodlust permeated his body, and as time wore on, the murderous aura grew more pronounced. It was as if he wanted to slay any living creature he saw, killing them as easily as crushing an ant. When he reached 99 wins, the murderous aura within him practically materialized, as if transforming into a killing force.
This feeling was somewhat similar to his previous unholy fire, affecting him in the same way.
While the unholy fire was more concentrated in his martial spirit, the murderous aura seemed higher in level, exerting a greater influence on his mind.
Suddenly, Xiao Fei thought of the Sea God's test. The first stage of the Sea God's test was the Sea God's Light, while the first stage of the Asura God's test was to attain the Killing God Domain in the Slaughter City.
Thinking about it, they felt a similarity: both used divine power to transform the physical qualities. The murderous aura of the Slaughter City must also be a form of divine power.
As a Killing God, one must fully master the Killing Aura. Otherwise, it's easy to lose oneself. Therefore, Xiao Fei had recently been using his body to sense and adapt to the Killing Aura. In past lives, in various mythological stories, Buddhist enlightenment and Taoist understanding of the universe seemed to have similar effects.
So, after his 99th victory, Xiao Fei locked himself in his room, concentrating on his body and his martial spirit, entering a state of meditation similar to that of a Buddhist. Finally, when Xiao Fei had finally calmed his mind, he began registering for his 100th challenge.
When Xiao Fei completed his challenge in the ring, the crowd erupted in cheers.
"Congratulations, young Phoenix Slayer!" a deep, sharp voice suddenly rang out from all directions. The murderous aura emanating from Xiao Fei suddenly rushed back at the sound of the voice, forced back into his body. Xiao Fei's face paled.
The atmosphere within the Hell Killing Fields suddenly reached a fever pitch as a blood-red figure descended from the sky. "King of Slaughter, King of Slaughter, King of Slaughter..."
The shouts hoarse the Fallen, but they showed no sign of stopping.
A scarlet figure appeared in the air. The man was very tall, and his whole body was wrapped in a huge scarlet cloak. He had a pale face, a pair of completely blood-red eyes, and a pair of scarlet blood wings on his back.
Xiao Fei knew that this was the gaze of the King of Slaughter falling on the viewing platform of the Hell Killing Field. "I am very happy to witness the birth of a strong man in the Killing Field today.
The victory that has not appeared in decades has been shown in this young man. With his powerful strength and terrifying murderous aura, he makes you tremble, right? My people?" "Yes, yes, yes..."
The King of Slaughter seemed to have a unique charm, which made all the fallen people have an almost crazy worship after seeing him.
The Slaughter King lowered his head, looked at Wang Xiaofei, and said, "Fenghuang Tu, thank you for letting me feel the passion again.
Yum, very good. In recognition of your achievements, I have decided to make an exception and grant you the title of Slaughter God.
From now on, you may enter and exit Slaughter City freely, and you will be hired as my guest." Xiaofei declined, "Thank you, great Slaughter King.
The rules of Slaughter City cannot be broken because of me. I hope to leave here on my own and become a true Slaughter God. Besides, I came here to walk the Hell Road."
Xiaofei ignored the Slaughter King's suggestions and enticements.
The Slaughter King's tone turned noticeably colder. "If that's the case, then walk the Hell Road. I hope you can pass the test and become the new Slaughter God."
A thick red mist suddenly emanated from the Slaughter King. The sinister, cold crimson ripples slowly spread, filling the entire audience in the blink of an eye.
The Fallen in the audience were all incredibly excited, eager to see the Hell Road open. However, what they didn't know was that their lives had already come to an end.
Aside from the God of Killing and the King of Slaughter, no one had ever witnessed the opening of the Hell Road. For all who had seen it were dead. Or rather, they had become sacrifices to the opening of the Hell Road.
As the red light descended upon the viewing platform, the once wildly cheering Fallen gradually grew silent. Each Fallen's eyes gradually grew dull, then turned bloodshot.
Soon, as the red light formed a massive barrier across the entire Hell Killing Field, screams of agony began to emanate from those first exposed to the red light.
The skin of the killers present ripped apart, blood gushed everywhere, and some even ripped out their own internal organs, their madness lingering until their lives ended. More and more Fallen experienced this transformation, until it spread throughout the entire field.
Blood spilled onto the ground, pooling, and streams of blood flowed like inconspicuous streams through small, inconspicuous pipes beneath the audience seats, towards the center of the killing field. Countless windings of the red liquid were clearly visible, flowing into the field like tiny snakes.
"It is their honor to be the sacrifice that opens the Hell Road," the Slaughter King's deep voice rang out.
By then, the screams had gradually subsided. Aside from Xiao Fei and the Slaughter King, there seemed to be no one alive.
The blood flowed into the ground, but it didn't spread in a straight line. At some point, grooves appeared on the ground, and the blood flowed into them, gradually converging into a huge blood-red pattern.
The pattern formed by the blood was actually a bird-like creature. Xiao Fei knew it was the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
Suddenly, the bird's eyes lit up, and Xiao Fei's mental power was almost shattered in an instant. A huge red light shot up into the sky, instantly engulfing the two of them.
All perception around him became blurry. Only the Slaughter King's low, sharp voice echoed in his ears. "Good luck on the Hell Road."
As the blood-red energy engulfed him, Xiao Fei felt his feet go empty. Everything around him became illusory, and all his senses were completely blocked.
When Xiao Fei regained consciousness, he found himself on a circular platform, only about five meters in diameter.
Everything around them was a faint blood-red. Beyond the circular platform, five meters in diameter, lay a bottomless abyss.
Beyond that, a narrow path, less than half a foot wide, barely wide enough for two feet to stand simultaneously, led to an unknown darkness. This was the only way out from their platform. It was the legendary Road to Hell.
