Chapter 35 - Chapter 35 The Legend of the Red Spider Lily (Part 1)

  Upon entering the killing field, Manyao sensed a heavy killing intent, harboring deep malice towards her.

  A scantily clad woman in a flamboyant black veil stared fiercely at Manyao, as if she wanted to devour her.

  Manyao frowned but remained silent.

  Of the ten people who entered, besides Manyao and the scantily clad woman, the rest were all men, with fierce and burly appearances, practically screaming "I'm a bad guy!"

  As the iron gate closed, the ten men fell silent for a moment, then suddenly erupted into a fierce attack.

  The scantily clad woman was the first to charge at the others, as if she and Manyao had agreed to kill them first, then the two of them would decide the winner.

  Soon, only Manyao and the scantily clad woman remained in the hellish killing field. Limbs and severed bodies were scattered everywhere on the ground, a sight so nauseating that one dared not look any further.

  "Next, it's our turn," the scantily clad woman said coldly, staring at Manyao.

  Looking at the scantily clad woman before her, Man Yao's mind flashed with information about her.

  That scantily clad woman from Black Mountain was known as the Succubus in the Hell Slaughter Arena.

  Her martial soul was the Nightmare Fox, a very strange one that emitted an eerie fragrance; those with weak wills were easily swayed by her.

  Within the Slaughter City, she was invincible thanks to her martial soul, lingering among men, her cultivation increasing through yin-yang union, thus her strength rose rapidly. Her

  strength was not low, almost on par with Man Yao's, but she usually kept a low profile.

  Man Yao remembered her because of that day. That day, Qian Xunji emerged from the Hell Slaughter Arena, exuding a murderous aura yet possessing a captivating charm. The Succubus approached him, flirting with him, wanting to spend the night with him.

  Man Yao remembered clearly that Qian Xunji didn't say anything, only his expression was unusually cold as he looked at her and said, "Get lost."

  The succubus felt humiliated. Having roamed the killing capital for so many years, she had never encountered a man like this before. This sight fueled her desire, but her attempt failed before it even began, leaving her deeply resentful.

  So, she boldly stepped forward, intending to touch Qian Xunji's face. Qian Xunji, seeing this, turned away.

  But she persisted, and Qian Xunji, unable to bear it any longer, slapped her, saying, "You look disgusting," before leaving.

  This incident deeply humiliated the succubus, making her want to kill Qian Xunji. However, having witnessed Qian Xunji's matches, she knew her strength was inferior, and so the matter was dropped.

  "You seem to hate me a lot. Can you tell me why?" Manyao couldn't help but ask, puzzled.

  Manyao knew they had no prior interaction and didn't understand why she hated her so much.

  Hearing this, the exposed woman became even more enraged, her eyes practically spitting fire. "You little slut, don't think you're safe just because you've hooked up with him! Today I'll kill you!"

  Yes, the succubus harbored resentment because of Qian Xunji's humiliation of her. Unfortunately, Qian Xunji usually kept to himself and had no contact with others, but one day he saved Manyao.

  Afterwards, the two of them were inseparable, calling each other "brother" and "sister," which she found extremely grating, as if mocking her incompetence. Therefore, she also harbored resentment towards Manyao.

  Seeing this, Manyao said no more, grabbed her black longsword, and engaged the succubus in battle.   

  In an instant, sword light flashed and the crackling sounds were incessant, fully demonstrating the intensity of the battle.

  The succubus's strength was indeed formidable, her raw power no less than Manyao's. Furthermore, a strange aura emanated from her, a rich fragrance that constantly bothered Manyao.

  Manyao was not to be outdone. Her killing intent was palpable, and having grown up in the City of Slaughter, her will was incredibly strong; the succubus's fragrance had no effect on her.

  Moreover, during her time with Qian Xunji, he had generously imparted various combat experiences and sword techniques to her, allowing Manyao's strength to improve rapidly.

  With a loud 'bang,' Manyao cleaved the succubus away with a single sword strike. The succubus coughed up blood and crashed into the wall behind her, creating a hole and sending dust flying.

  On the stands, Qian Xunji watched this scene quietly, a rare smile appearing on his face. Those around them, witnessing the hellish killing arena, waved their fists and shouted.

  However, no one saw the succubus's cold smile at that moment.

---   A provocative woman in a revealing black veil stepped out of the hellish killing arena. She was covered in blood, a gruesome sight, but she seemed unfazed, even admiring. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure: Qian Xunji. He stood quietly

  on   the stands of another killing arena, his black robes flowing gracefully. Tall and imposing, his cold, handsome face was perfectly proportioned, as if sculpted by a knife, and his extraordinary aura made him appear like an immortal descended to earth.   She was captivated. She admitted that since entering the Killing City, she had never seen such a handsome man. But the thought of his humiliation made her teeth chatter, filled with resentment. If she weren't outmatched, she would have already made him her devoted subject.   After a while, the gate to the killing arena in the stands where Qian Xunji was standing slowly opened, and a girl in black walked out. She had a beautiful face, a blush on her cheeks, and sweat dripped down her neck, creating a beautiful sight.   Suddenly, as if she saw something, she rushed over and threw herself into Qian Xunji's arms.   Qian Xunji stiffened, but didn't push her away. Instead, he gently patted her back and affectionately stroked her head. The two chatted and laughed as they walked back.   Not far away, the succubus clenched her fists tightly, staring intently at them.   After a while, her fists turned white from clenching, and she thought to herself: "Aren't you supposed to be aloof and arrogant? Why are you so kind to that little girl? What do I lack compared to her? Damn it!"   The succubus slowly relaxed her fists and walked back the way she came. Back in her wooden hut, she saw someone.   It was a girl in black veils. She knew this was an envoy from the King of Slaughter in the City of Slaughter, responsible for receiving newcomers. She wondered why he was here today.   The girl in black veils slowly said, "Succubus, the King of Slaughter invites you."   The succubus's eyes widened in shock. "I...I won't go. I haven't done anything wrong."   "Then do you want revenge? The King of Slaughter has a way," the girl in black veils said again.    The succubus   , thinking of the man from before, felt a surge of resentment and said, "Fine, I'll go with you."   "Please follow me," the envoy from the City of Slaughter said slowly.   (End of Chapter)
