Chapter 83 Hell's Path_1
"I..." Sally wanted to speak but forcibly held back, then silently bowed her head...
That's right, Xu Sheng and she were only acquaintances of a few days, far from reaching a level of complete trust.
Xu Sheng's gaze swept over her indifferently, "Hell's Path is about to open..."
This was specially arranged by Tang Chen for him, to obtain access to the Killing God Domain, which was certainly better than nothing.
The opening of Hell's Path required the blood sacrifice of countless Fallen Ones, meaning, when Hell's Path opened, all the Fallen Ones within Slaughter City would be killed by Tang Chen's unique methods for the sacrifice...
Though it would result in the killing of so many people, there was no disturbance in Xu Sheng's heart...
After all, none of those who came to Slaughter City were innocent of bloodshed.
Sally said with some astonishment, "Hell's Path? Xu Sheng, are you saying you want to take the Hell's Path challenge?"
She remembered that to open Hell's Path one needed to achieve a hundred victories in the Infernal Slaughterhouse matches. Could this be the reason why the King of Slaughter summoned Xu Sheng?
Xu Sheng merely replied indifferently, "Mhm."
Sally bit her thin lips, knowing the request she would make might trouble Xu Sheng, but this was the last chance!
Looking into Xu Sheng's eyes, filled with endless hope, she struggled to say word by word, "Xu... Xu Sheng, could you, considering my service to you these past few days, take me out of Slaughter City?"
Xu Sheng's mouth curled up, nonchalantly replying, "Alright... on the condition that you can survive afterwards."
Sally's eyes welled with tears as she choked up with gratitude, "Than... thank you. If I can get out, I, Sally, am willing to serve you for life!"
As long as she could leave Slaughter City, this place that constantly filled her with terror, she was willing to give up both freedom and love.
But what did Xu Sheng just mean by surviving? Sally, unable to understand, chose to suppress this question in her heart.
Xu Sheng crossed his arms and closed his eyes in silence "..."
...
Not long after, at the peak of the heated battles within the center of the Infernal Slaughterhouse, suddenly a hoarse voice echoed from all directions...
"Firstly, congratulations to young Cold Sword, you have passed my test! Now, I permit you to come before me, and I will personally open the gateway to Hell's Path for you!"
As the voice died away, a blood-red figure leaped down from the top level, it was none other than the King of Slaughter, Tang Chen.
Draped in a pitch-black cloak, his crimson eyes scanned the surroundings, then his hands violently clenched, causing several fighters in the Infernal Slaughterhouse matches to explode into Blood Fog under his oppressive might!
This terrifying spectacle immediately led the Fallen Ones in the stands to recognize that this was the king of their Slaughter City!
As if indifferent to the slaughter of competitors in the Infernal Slaughterhouse, they began to roar as if their lives depended on it, "King of Slaughter! King of Slaughter!"
"King of Slaughter! King of Slaughter!" The relentless roaring seemed as though it would never cease.
Xu Sheng, on the outskirts, glanced at Sally with a joyful expression, then walked nonchalantly towards the center of the Infernal Slaughterhouse...
When he reached the center of the slaughterhouse, directly in front of Tang Chen, more cheers rang out...
"Cold Sword! Cold Sword!"
"Open Hell's Path! Open Hell's Path!!"
"King of Slaughter! King of Slaughter!"
"Now, I, the King of Slaughter, will exceptionally grant you the title of Killing God! I will open Hell's Path for you, cheer, my people!" said Tang Chen, his blood-red eyes again glancing at Xu Sheng before slowly speaking to the crowd.
His words seemed to carry an irresistible charm, inspiring endless worship from all the Fallen Ones within the Infernal Slaughterhouse.
"King of Slaughter! King of Slaughter!"
"Cold Sword! Cold Sword!"
"King of Slaughter, King of Slaughter!"
Xu Sheng gave Tang Chen a slight nod, signaling that he could start now...
Tang Chen's blood-red eyes narrowed slightly, and then he opened his dessicated arms, a strong and terror-inducing slaughter erupted instantaneously, and the cape behind him fluttered loudly in the gale...
The next moment, a dense red mist burst forth violently from behind his cape, spreading instantly across the entire Infernal Slaughterhouse!
It was a red fog, an aura of terror that made one shiver to the bone...
All the Fallen Ones were enveloped by this red mist, their gazes suddenly ablaze with an even more bloodthirsty light than before, filled with an air of bloodlust and slaughter.
The next second, they began tearing at their own flesh with their palms as if crazed, and some even started to bite at their own body parts with their mouths...
All of a sudden, the entire Infernal Slaughterhouse turned into a true purgatory, as lives fell one after another...
Xu Sheng's calm gaze turned toward Sally at the very edge, only to see her crimson eyes as if devoid of any sense, continuously striking the nearby wall...
Xu Sheng pursed his dry, thin lips and made a light flick of his hand in Sally's direction. The vines of the Nine-Hearted Begonia that sprang from the ground wrapped around Sally's body, and the sharp petals pierced into her flesh, leaving her whole body numb without sensation...
In that moment, the bloody light in Sally's eyes slowly faded away...
With a longing look, she gazed towards Xu Sheng in the center of the slaughter...
The weak Sally's tender lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something...
Xu Sheng, watching these actions from a distance, clearly knew the two words she was trying to say...
"Save me"
However, Xu Sheng, responding to Sally, still just looked at her with icy eyes, without making any move...
After gazing for a long time, when Sally finally saw the emotionless pupils in Xu Sheng's eyes, the hope in her eyes gradually dimmed...
Then, the helpless Sally, embracing a shred of resentment, fixed her gaze back on Xu Sheng, and her thin lips moved with difficulty again...
That was...
"I hate you"
After doing all this, Sally, whose body was already oozing fresh blood, had a shock run through her beautiful pupils, and then she collapsed weakly into the pool of blood...
And when Sally finally fell, Xu Sheng, for some reason, felt a twinge of guilt...
He took in a deep breath and said indifferently, "Sorry, at least, I spared you the pain..."
That Sally could enter Slaughter City meant something that Xu Sheng was well aware of.
Knowing this, he chose to ignore it...
...
After endless howling, there were no longer any living Fallen Ones in the Infernal Slaughterhouse, only scattered viscera, severed limbs...
The crimson liquid from the stands flowed like a brook, gathering toward the center of the slaughterhouse...
Visible to the naked eye, this blood followed a deliberate path into the strange grooves filled with coagulated blood...
