189. Tang Chen: Xi Xi, are you... are you guys together now?! [Second release]_1

```

This is a Purifying Crystal.

Lin Yi needed the real Tang Chen to hurt him, not the King of Slaughter.

"What is this?"

Tang Chen looked at the crystal stone in Lin Yi's hand with confusion and asked uncertainly.

"This is a favor I'm granting you."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he crushed the crystal stone, and a stroke of gold light fell upon Tang Chen.

The next moment, Tang Chen suddenly knelt on the ground, closed his eyes in agony, and held his head with both hands.

Everyone watched with surprise at the King of Slaughter's reaction, not understanding what had happened.

A favor from the senior... Could it be the senior knew something?

A layer of confusion clouded the minds of the people in Soul City.

Gradually, the red patterns on Tang Chen's body began to fade, the horns on his head disappeared, the bat wings on his back were gone, and even those blood-red eyes slowly reverted to black.

It was at this moment, outside the spatial passage, a person suddenly exclaimed.

"It's actually him!"

Thousand Waves's pupils shook as he stared at the scene in the Slaughter Ground, feeling incredibly surprised and deeply shocked.

He knew about Slaughter City and that it had a King of Slaughter, but he never imagined that this King of Slaughter would turn out to be an old friend from decades ago!

"Who is he?"

Bi Bidong curiously looked at Thousand Waves.

"Tang Chen, once hailed as the strongest Soul Master in Soul Land, while I am the strongest Soul Master in the sky. He is also a Level 99 Limit Douluo, and in terms of strength, even higher than mine."

"Tang Hao's grandfather?"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Bi Bidong's face showed shock.

"Could it be that Senior Lin Yi knew all along?"

"It seems so. I really didn't expect that Senior Lin Yi would prepare such a surprise for me!"

Thousand Waves said in disbelief.

In fact, he had no hostility towards Hao Tian Clan, even though his identity was that of the Great Priest of Martial Soul Hall.

The life of Thousand Waves could not be more aptly described by the words "pure" and "uninvolved with worldly strife." At this age, he actually began to cherish the memories of the past and the friends in those memories.

To see Tang Chen again, to know that he was still alive, brought Thousand Waves some comfort.

Inside the Slaughter Ground.

Tang Chen knelt on the ground, looking at his own hands, his own body, and the chaotic environment around him with an astonished face.

A surge of memories flooded into his brain, and Tang Chen finally remembered his true identity and the reason he appeared here.

He raised his head, looking up at the youth in front of him with an excited expression.

"That Bat King..."

"My Purifying Crystal resolved the parasitic effect it had on you, so you owe me a favor," said Lin Yi calmly, looking down at him.

"Thank you! Thank you, young man! How can I ever repay you?!" Tang Chen said with a grateful expression, holding his fists towards Lin Yi.

The torment he had suffered for so many years was simply indescribable.

"Then just like them, strive every day to kill me, and I will bestow upon you an opportunity you could never have in this lifetime."

Tang Chen was dumbfounded.

He had only just been freed, immensely grateful to this youth; how could he possibly kill him?!

However, upon seeing the scene outside the spatial passage, Tang Chen was stunned for a moment. He slowly stood up, a hint of joy on his face:

"Thousand Waves?!"

No matter how many grievances there had been in the past, at this moment, nothing could be more delightful than seeing an old friend once again!

```

Tang Chen walked toward the Martial Soul Hall, but just then, his body suddenly froze in place.

Over at the Martial Soul Hall.

Thousand Waves smirked with malice, stepping aside to reveal a stunningly beautiful woman with white hair standing behind him.

In front of Tang Chen, Thousand Waves spread his right arm around the lifelike doll's slender waist, his face revealing a lecherous smile.

Tang Chen: ?

"Fuck your mom!"

Tang Chen exploded in rage, a massive hammer appearing in his hand as he charged recklessly toward the Martial Soul Hall!

Seeing that the situation here no longer involved him, Davis also took off running.

After Davis left, Lin Yi waved his right hand, closing the space passage instantly.

At this moment, everyone inside the Hell Slaughter Ground was looking at him strangely, not understanding what Lin Yi was about to do.

Lin Yi raised his right hand, pointed with his sword finger, and with a slight flick, a golden card appeared between his fingers.

The Angel God Experience Card.

He crushed the Experience Card, and in an instant, "Boom!" everyone in the Slaughter Ground was burned into gas by the scorching white True Fire of the Sun.

Lin Yi had to do this as the existence of Hell Road beneath the Slaughter Ground had already been revealed to these people.

They were a group of evil desperados, releasing them would have no good consequences.

Although Lin Yi did not want to intervene in any events occurring in Soul Land, it was because of him that the entrance to Hell Road had been exposed, so he had to come up with a solution.

Lin Yi didn't hurry to leave, he stretched out his right hand, fingers curling in a grabbing motion, causing a severe distortion in space, as a woman appeared before Lin Yi, screaming, clasped by the throat.

"Let me go…"

The Hell Messenger's seductive face turned red with strain as Lin Yi's grip on her was so strong that she couldn't breathe.

"Do you know why I did not kill you just now?"

"I don't... cough cough!"

Lin Yi released his hand, staring coldly at the scantily clad woman before him:

"Slaughter City without its King of Slaughter is no good, so I want you to be the new King of Slaughter. If I see anyone escaping from here, I will make you suffer beyond imagination."

The Hell Messenger looked at Lin Yi's icy face with a fearful gaze and immediately knelt down, trembling as she responded, "Yes! I shall obey!"

Lin Yi looked down on her, using the System to finely divide the Asura Sword Trial Card, extracting a part of the Asura Divine Power and investing it in the Hell Messenger.

"With this power, you will manage more effortlessly."

The Hell Messenger's face showed shock as she opened her eyes wide; a red vertical mark appeared on her forehead.

Moreover, she was acutely aware of what this power was made of.

"What exactly... What exactly is your identity..."

She lifted her head, gasping for air as she looked at Lin Yi, her expression full of horror.

"Just an ordinary person who has lost the will to live."

After speaking, Lin Yi turned and left. With a wave of his right hand, a narrow silver space channel appeared instantly, and he stepped through it.

As he stepped through, a loud and incredibly devout voice came from behind.

"Subordinate, farewell to the Asura God King!!"

The space channel closed, and Lin Yi was standing on the stands once more.

Below in the stands, Tang Chen sat on the ground with a swollen face, disbelievingly staring at "Poseissi".

Just a moment ago, "Poseissi" had protected Thousand Waves by unleashing a soul skill and ruthlessly beat him up!

Naturally, Tang Chen couldn't bring himself to strike "Poseissi" and could only suffer under the brutal assault of the all-too-familiar soul skill.

But he couldn't understand, couldn't comprehend at all, why Poseissi would show no trace of old affection, and even go so far as to shield Thousand Waves to this extent!

"Xi Xi, are you... have you two gotten together?"

Tang Chen looked darkly at the smiling Thousand Waves, his heart seemingly bleeding.
