Chapter 108 King of Slaughter
As Yang Podi's first Hell Slaughter match ended, he was ambushed by several people as soon as he left the Hell Slaughter Arena.
However, Yang Podi was not afraid at all. The previous match had not actually depleted his strength, and he still had enough energy to deal with the rest of the battles.
In the next two days, Yang Podi killed over a hundred people.
Many people thought Yang Podi was a newcomer and that he was easy to bully, so they came to launch various sneak attacks.
But Yang Podi did not retreat at all. Instead, he wielded the Soul-Breaking Spear in his hand, killing all those who attacked him without any mercy. In fact, it could be said that he was extremely cruel.
In Yang Podi's hands, the Soul-Shattering Spear was like a dragon, reaping lives by either piercing through the enemy's body or splitting them into several pieces.
Yang Podi's clothes, after several days of fighting, seemed to have turned blood red all over, which was very strange.
The following days were relatively peaceful. Yang Podi signed up for a Hell Slaughter Arena competition almost every three days, almost without interruption.
In just one month, he has already participated in nine matches, and won all nine matches.
Most of the nine opponents in each match died at Yang Podi's hands, while a few were killed by sneak attacks from others.
And so, Yang Podi's fearsome reputation in the City of Slaughter spread. Everyone knew that a very powerful newcomer had appeared in Hell's Slaughter. This person was decisive and ruthless, and all those who dared to attack him were mercilessly killed.
Yang Podi also gave himself a nickname, which was "God of Slaughter".
During this time, Yang Wuju, the third elder of the Po clan, returned to the clan. When Yang Wuju reported to the clan leader that Yang Podi had entered the Slaughter City, everyone in the family was shocked.
Especially Older Mother Niu Jinfeng, who was even a little uneasy: "Why did they go to the Killing City when they were doing well in the Battle of the Enemy? Is there some hidden reason?"
However, his father, Yang Zhentian, was somewhat understanding, recognizing his son's determination to become stronger.
Finally, the clan leader Yang Wudi spoke up: "My grandson Yang Podi has always pursued becoming stronger. His trip to the City of Slaughter this time was probably because he felt that it would make him even stronger."
"I believe my grandson will make it out safely. If he really can't, I'll go to the Killing City and poison everyone there."
King of Slaughter: ?
In the year since entering the Killing City, Yang Podi has played a total of 74 matches in the Hell Killing Arena, making him the person with the most wins in the entire Killing City.
Of course, Yang Podi also demonstrated some of his strength, including the power of his spear.
In a place where soul skills cannot be used, the spear's edge is like a cheat code, not only impossible to defend against but also extremely powerful.
As for the two external soul bones on Yang Podi's body, they have never been used. They are Yang Podi's trump cards and should never be used unless it is absolutely necessary.
The most dangerous time was when Yang Podi came down from the Hell Slaughter Arena, he was surrounded by hundreds of people, including several Soul Douluo and Soul Saint level Soul Masters.
Soul Saints and Soul Douluos are indeed unable to use Soul Skills in the City of Slaughter. However, due to absorbing 7 to 8 Soul Rings, their physical attributes are extremely strong, especially their strength and defense, which are terrifying.
Under normal circumstances, a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse can easily crush a Soul King even without using Soul Skills, because a Soul Douluo's physical attributes and various abilities are far superior to those of a Soul King.
But Yang Podi was fearless and used all his strength to fight against the Soul Douluo-level powerhouses. In this situation, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass he had taken played a great role. His Soul-Breaking Spear was like a dragon, and finally released a burst of spear intent, breaking through the defenses of these Soul Douluo powerhouses and killing them.
During this year, Yang Podi gained a deeper understanding of the use of spear techniques. The spear techniques he had learned seemed to be insufficient and not suitable for advanced soul masters.
Based on his recent combat experience, Yang Podi has gained a deeper understanding of marksmanship and his strength has become even more formidable.
He further infused his killing intent into his marksmanship, creating a more powerful and personalized style of marksmanship.
According to Yang Podi's own plan, he could create nine styles of spear techniques, but he has only learned the first two so far.
But with his newfound understanding of marksmanship from these two lifetimes, Yang Podi was already invincible in the Hell Slaughter Arena, and no one dared to ambush him anymore.
Of course, Yang Podi's winning streak alerted the King of Slaughter. After all, as the actual manager of the Slaughter City, he was the last person who wanted a God of Slaughter to emerge, as that would seriously damage the strength of the Slaughter City.
On this day, as Yang Podi was practicing his spear technique, just as he entered the City of Slaughter, the girl in black veils who was leading the way for him appeared.
The girl in black veil bowed to him and said, "Lord God of Slaughter, the great King of Slaughter requests your presence."
"Lead the way, I'd also like to meet the King of Slaughter."
And so, led by the girl in the black veil, Yang Podi arrived at a strange room.
The murderous aura in this room was even stronger than that of the hellish killing field, especially since a very tall man, who looked to be at least two meters tall, sat on the throne in the very center.
The man's face was ashen, making it impossible to discern his exact age. He appeared very old, yet his face seemed youthful, posing a tremendous pressure on Yang Podi, like an insurmountable mountain.
Yang Podi thought to himself: Is this Tang Chen, the former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect? He is indeed incredibly powerful, worthy of being a level 99 Title Douluo, known as an invincible powerhouse on land. Even when controlled by the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, the power emanating from him is still terrifying.
If it weren't controlled, how powerful would it be?
Before Yang Podi could think further, the King of Slaughter spoke directly: "God of Slaughter, judging from your weapon, you should be from the Po clan."
"Indeed, King of Slaughter. I come from the Destroyer Clan."
"You are the first member of the Broken Clan to enter the City of Slaughter. The power and danger of the City of Slaughter far exceed your imagination. I can now give you a chance to swear allegiance to me, and I can make you the most powerful person in the City of Slaughter."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but sneer inwardly: What kind of thing is the King of Slaughter? You dare to dream of making me serve you? You're nothing but a puppet of the God of Asura, not even qualified to lay a hand on a challenger.
"Lord of Slaughter, thank you for your kindness, but my goal is to pass the hundred trials in the Hell Slaughter Arena and become a true God of Slaughter. You should understand what I mean."
"Are you after the God of Slaughter Domain?"
"That's right, I came to the City of Slaughter to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain."
The King of Slaughter seemed utterly disdainful: "God of Slaughter, to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain, a hundred victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena are merely the most basic requirement. You still have to traverse the Road to Hell, and that is the real difficulty."
Yang Podi spoke directly: "I remember that in the last hundred years, there have been two people who have passed through the Road to Hell, and I think I will be the third."
"I need to open the Hell Road, and besides, I can grant people the ability to use soul skills. If you don't submit to me, I believe many people would be willing to kill you, especially those who have no choice but to participate in the Hell Killing Competition."
In the Killing City, to live in the inner city, one must participate in at least one Hell Killing Arena competition every year.
Yang Podi's recent winning streak has terrified many people, who are now too scared to participate in the competition. However, with their time limit fast approaching, they may eventually have no choice but to bite the bullet and take to the field.
Yang Podi did not answer the King of Slaughter's question, but instead spoke on his own: "Datura flower, poisonous dragon grass, double-flowered flower, ghost leaf, heart-wrenching lotus, heartbreak grass, seven-death flower..."
"These poisons work together very well, gradually causing people to lose their minds and turn them into monsters who only know how to kill. It can be said that Bloody Mary will gradually destroy the foundation of a Soul Master, and even the air itself is filled with this stuff."
"If I were to add the three toxins of Heart-Eating Grass, Bone-Drying Flower, and Heart-Eating Lotus into the air, and let these three toxins interact with the existing toxins, I'm afraid very few people in the entire Killing City would survive."
The King of Slaughter's expression instantly changed: "God of Slaughter, are you trying to threaten me? Anyone who destroys the City of Slaughter shall die!"
But Yang Podi remained remarkably relaxed: "Lord King of Slaughter, you are the strongest in Slaughter City, and its ruler. Of course I understand your meaning, and I also hope that Slaughter City will continue to exist."
"Let's keep to ourselves. I'll complete my trial, and you can continue ruling the entire Killing City. Isn't that better?"
After Yang Podi finished speaking, he took out three poisonous herbs from his ring: Heart-Eating Grass, Bone-Drying Flower, and Heart-Eating Lotus.
Upon seeing this, the King of Slaughter's expression changed drastically, his face turning extremely gloomy.
Yang Podi continued, "My Po clan is skilled in concocting poisons. I have already prepared some in advance. If I cannot leave this room safely, the poison will likely be released, which will cause trouble for everyone."
A hush fell over the room.
Finally, the King of Slaughter gritted his teeth and said, "God of Slaughter, very good, you've done extremely well. I hope you can successfully pass the trial of the Hell Slaughter Arena. I look forward to you becoming the new God of Slaughter."
"Thank you, Lord King of Slaughter."
After Yang Podi finished speaking, he left the room immediately. It was best to be careful and stay away from a peerless expert like the King of Slaughter.
After Yang Podi left, the girl in black veils went to the King of Slaughter's room: "King of Slaughter, have you communicated clearly with the God of Slaughter? Is the God of Slaughter willing to submit to our Slaughter City?"
The King of Slaughter's expression seemed rather grim: "You may leave now. From now on, don't interfere with the God of Slaughter anymore; let him undergo the trial on his own."
The girl in black veil seemed a little anxious: "Lord King of Slaughter, how can this be? The birth of a god of slaughter is a huge loss to our Slaughter City."
But as soon as she finished speaking, the King of Slaughter's arm pierced through her body, and the girl in the black veil died instantly.
The King of Slaughter looked at the corpse before him and said, "I am the ruler of the Slaughter City. Don't try to teach me a lesson."
After saying that, the King of Slaughter held a glass of Bloody Mary and swallowed it in one gulp, as if it contained endless sweetness.
After Yang Podi left the King of Slaughter's room, his face turned somewhat dark.
In the original novel, both Tang San and Hu Liena had extremely powerful backgrounds. Behind them were Bibi Dong and Tang Hao, respectively, and it could even be said that the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were behind them.
It was precisely because of their powerful background that the King of Slaughter dared not attack the two of them.
Judging from today's situation, it seems that the King of Slaughter wants to deal with me and prevent me from obtaining the God of Slaughter Domain.
Fortunately, she was prepared. Through her knowledge of alchemy, she basically understood the composition of Bloody Mary and the toxins in the air, and used the poison on her hands to threaten the King of Slaughter.
Hopefully, the King of Slaughter won't bother me again.
