Chapter 98 Tang San: Why do I have to stay in Slaughter City for decades?_1

"Is this the inner city of Slaughter City?"

In Slaughter City, Tang San was astonished by the scenery before him.

The inner city, with its red lanterns and green wine, was so much more prosperous than the outer city.

But...

Wasn't it a bit too deserted?

Tang San couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't I seen a single person in the inner city up to now?"

The veiled woman beside him immediately replied, "There are some, but not many..."

"Not many, how many?"

Tang San asked with a furrowed brow.

"Maybe, roughly, three to five hundred?"

The woman in the veil said somewhat uncertainly.

"What? Why are there so few people?"

Tang San was shocked.

He knew that he was here to train and had to win a hundred battles in the Hell Slaughter Ground to walk on the Hell Road.

Not to mention, just the hundred battles of the Hell Slaughter Ground would require thousands of people.

Three to five hundred people were hardly enough for anything.

"Hmm, yes, there are only so many now..."

The woman in the veil was vague in her words.

However, her heart couldn't help but recall the disaster from a few days ago.

Triumphant amongst a hundred battles, such was the calamity that halved the population of the inner city of Slaughter City.

Following that, there was that bloody sacrifice, which initiated the mysterious Hell Road and caused nearly half of the inner city's population to die.

The surviving three hundred or so were the ones who survived those catastrophes, having been scared out of their wits; they were hardly any different from lunatics.

Expecting them to take the stage of the Hell Slaughter Ground was almost an impossibility now.

"Hmm, what do you mean?"

Tang San's frown deepened, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart, "I only have one question now."

"Ask away."

The duty of the veiled woman was to answer questions for newcomers.

"Given the current situation, how long would it take to complete a hundred matches in the Hell Slaughter Ground?"

"That question..."

The woman in the veil paused and counter-asked, "How old are you this year?"

Tang San thought for a moment, not revealing his true age, "17 years old."

Seventeen...

After hearing Tang San's response, the woman in the veil fell silent.

She appeared to be silent but was actually making calculations in her heart.

After a long while...

She finally gave an answer, "Don't worry, you're still young. With the current rate of people replenishing, and if you win every battle, you'll complete a hundred victories by the age of forty—it'll be very quick."

What kind of nonsense was this?

Wait until forty years old?

Did it mean he had to stay in Slaughter City for decades?

That would be way too late!

Tang San's mentality collapsed.

Waiting for decades, would Xiaowu become someone else's wife?

Could Tang Hao remain safe and sound?

And Qin Xiao, by then, would surely have become an invincible warrior of Soul Land, right?

What would be the point of emerging from Slaughter City then?

"No, I can't wait here for decades, I want to leave now!"

Tang San shook his head.

He couldn't waste his prime years like this.

"What?"

"You want to leave?"

At that moment, the veiled woman's face showed a look of shock.

"Yes, I want to leave now."

Tang San said as he turned to walk back the way he had come.

"No, you can't just leave like this, that's against the rules of Slaughter City."

The veiled woman reached out to stop Tang San.

"Move aside!"

Tang San said in a deep voice, "Don't force me to take action, even if the divine king himself came, he couldn't stop me."

His voice was laced with bone-chilling coldness.

But the veiled woman was quicker, having already sent a signal at some unknown time.

Whoosh!

Bang!

Splendid fireworks burst forth in the sky above the inner city.

Immediately after, the sound of rapid footsteps rang out near Tang San.

When he saw who was coming, Tang San's face darkened.

They were people clad in blood-colored armor, their visages hidden behind ferocious masks.

But their auras, each one of them, were incredibly strong.

At least to Tang San at that moment.

They were much stronger than any Black Armored Knight he had previously encountered.

"Is it you, kid, causing trouble?"

At that moment, a robust figure stepped forward from the crowd.

He looked at Tang San coldly.

Of course, he felt that merely this pressure wasn't enough; he even summoned his own Soul Rings.

Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, black.

"Eight... eight Soul Rings, isn't it forbidden to use soul skills here?"

Tang San was shocked.

Tang Hao had never mentioned this to Tang San at all.

In reality, this couldn't be blamed on Tang Hao.

He had made the rules of Slaughter City very clear to Tang San, believing that with Tang San's intelligence and wisdom, he would certainly not foolishly violate the rules of Slaughter City.

He couldn't even imagine in his dreams that Tang San would break the rules on his very first day.

Wasn't that a death wish?

"Kid, surprised, are you?"

The robust figure said with a contemptuous tone, "Brothers, see that? This kid is still green, not even clear on the rules of Slaughter City and already wants to cause a ruckus."

"Hahaha."

His followers, the Law Enforcers, laughed loudly.

"Let me tell you now, the true keepers of order in Slaughter City are not those Black Armored Knights but the Law Enforcers.

"Every one of them is a Soul Douluo level strong warrior, unrestricted Soul Douluo Strong Warriors, who can use soul skills at will in Slaughter City!"

"Of course, they won't kill the innocent, only those who violate the rules of Slaughter City will be severely punished."

At that moment, the veiled woman's voice whispered in Tang San's ear.
