Chapter 76: Where the Wind and Snow Pass, All Turns to Dust_1
Upon entering the inner city of Slaughter City, the atmosphere was starkly different from the outskirts. Just by sensing with his spiritual power, Xu Sheng knew at least dozens of people were eying him with murderous intent.
And they weren't shy about hiding their gazes either, each lovingly caressing their blood-scented weapons, in fact, every one of them was silently waiting for an opportunity...
It seemed that if Xu Sheng got too close or unintentionally revealed any weakness, they would immediately strike!
Despair and screams mingled massively, echoing throughout the entire inner city...
It seemed to be the norm here...
In front of Xu Sheng, a burly man was holding a voluptuous woman's hair, unconcerned about the onlookers, indulging in his lust, doing unspeakable things...
...
Because here, there were no rules, if you were killed upon entering, it was allowed...
Even previously, a newcomer with a twenty-four-hour protection period was killed instantly upon straying just five meters from the black-clothed woman for a few seconds.
This was enough to demonstrate the cruelty of the people here...
Afterward, more and more gazes gathered on the newcomer Xu Sheng, a look one gives to prey...
Xu Sheng's eyes hardened, and his expression gradually grew colder as he slowly halted his steps...
The black-clothed woman following him saw Xu Sheng stop, and muttered to herself, "Hmm? Why is he not moving? Could it be that he's scared?"
She thought this man was strong, but it seemed that he was overwhelmed halfway through, and she had overestimated him.
So, she spoke dismissively, "If you want to regret it now, there's still time. Up ahead is the Infernal Slaughterhouse, and the people there are even more terrifying than here."
Xu Sheng's eyes were cold and emotionless as he scorned, "Regret? For these trash that could be easily slaughtered barehanded?"
Xu Sheng's Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul still needed more fresh blood and souls, and now, in this narrow place, with no rules to follow.
Wasn't it a perfect breeding ground?
Besides, he had recently felt that his Nine-Hearted Begonia, after absorbing a considerable amount of blood and souls, seemed to be on the verge of evolving...
The black-clothed woman, unable to contain her emotions at his words, bent her slender waist and broke into loud laughter, "Pfft, man, you must be joking, right? With so many people here, each one has been through the Infernal Slaughter matches..."
Before she could finish, Xu Sheng had already condensed the Ice Rose Sword in his hand, its icy blue tip emanating a cold rose chill, as if praying for everyone here...
The black-clothed woman, who thought Xu Sheng was kidding, stopped smiling at his actions; her face gradually filled with shock...
She murmured in disbelief, "You can't possibly be planning to kill your way through, can you?"
However, no one answered her, only a slender, graceful figure continuously brandished the Ice Rose Sword in his hand, moving forward like a Killing God...
Every swing of his sword harvested a living life...
Those who got near Xu Sheng, none of them escaped from the despairing screams and howls...
Under the terrifying cuts of the Ice Rose Sword, they fell powerless into corpses, then quietly devoured by the Nine-Hearted Begonia wielded by Xu Sheng...
The extreme coldness painted the entire passage with layers of frost...
In this dark place, strands of pale white snowflakes kept drifting down from the sky, resting upon Xu Sheng's long hair, adding a touch of stern coldness...
Of course, this did not stop his desire to kill...
The black-clothed woman standing frozen in place was completely dumbfounded, her throat blocked, unable to emit a sound...
Only when she cast fearful eyes on those bloody corpses on the ground, did she realize she was not dreaming...
This man, he really intended to slaughter every single person on this road!
Moreover, he indeed had that terrifying ability!
The formidable ones who had survived in the Infernal Slaughterhouse, under Xu Sheng's hand, simply couldn't last five seconds before turning into cold corpses...
Someone thought to themselves, "Perhaps this person could become the new Killing God, and the chances of him taking oneself out of the Infernal Slaughterhouse are quite high!"
...
It was unknown how much time had passed before Xu Sheng finally retracted the Ice Rose Sword back into his body...
And behind him...
In the land where snow and wind drifted, there were nothing but lifeless bodies...
Xu Sheng could not remember how much time had passed, how many people he had killed...
The only thing he had in mind was the Ice Rose Sword in his hand swinging mechanically, claiming the lives of everyone...
Xu Sheng's cold pupils turned to look at the woman in black behind him, he said with a calm voice, "Take me to the Infernal Slaughterhouse!"
He had thought that the end of this road was the Infernal Slaughterhouse, but it was not so, this passage was just an inconspicuous path leading to the huge inner city!
The true appearance of the inner city was even close to that of the astonishingly large city of Soto City!
The woman's words started to become somewhat intermittent, as the pressure Xu Sheng put on her was too immense...
This handsome man before her eyes had slaughtered, expressionlessly, hundreds of people!
Just like he said himself, the people here were completely at his mercy, mere trash to be slaughtered!
The woman in black hurriedly nodded, "Yes...yes, the Infernal Slaughterhouse is right there!"
She pointed towards a wall, made of black material, forming a broad circular structure that was very close...
Even here, one could faintly hear the various noises emanating from within...
Xu Sheng's eyes filled with chill flashed with a few traces of astonishment, "It's actually this close?"
It wasn't that it was close; rather, the Infernal Slaughterhouse was so vast that it seemed near no matter where one was...
...
Soon, the two of them arrived outside the Infernal Slaughterhouse, only then could they see its true shape: an irregular cone. It had the largest area at the bottom and narrowed as it went up.
Xu Sheng's expression was exceedingly cold, "What are the rules here?"
The woman in black explained patiently, "The rules of the Infernal Slaughterhouse are simple, enter with your own identity plate to register, but since you don't have an identity plate, you need me to accompany you to participate."
"After that, it's just waiting for the competition to start. During the wait, no one is allowed to fight. Each group that enters the slaughterhouse is ten people, and certainly, only one will come out alive."
Xu Sheng frowned, "I can only kill nine at a time? How long will it take me to become the champion then?"
He did not plan to spend a lot of time in Slaughter City; if he could finish quickly, he naturally wouldn't want to drag it out.
The woman in black pondered for a moment, calculating the possibilities in her mind...
"If it's slow, maybe a year... If there are many battles, perhaps you could become the champion in two or three months!"
