In the dim space, the blue and purple light never changed, and the Dark Moon in the sky existed forever.

A crow with white eye circles deftly dodged the humans who wanted to capture it as food and landed on a woman who exuded a bewitching aura.

Seeing the crow, Hu Liena, who had just walked out of the Hell Killing Field, tried her best to restrain the murderous aura on her body, but living in the City of Slaughter for a long time, the murderous aura accumulated over the years was too huge, so she couldn't completely restrain it.

"Sorry," Hu Liena apologized to the crow on her shoulder.

But the crow seemed completely unaware of this killing intent, tilting its head and grooming its feathers.

Three years had also allowed Hu Liena to grow up and become a dreaded "Hell Messenger." She had already won ninety-nine games and was about to become a hundred-win "champion," gaining the qualification to leave this City of Slaughter.

She suddenly thought of Gehrman Sparrow, the man with the same face as Duke Amon, who always had a cold expression, but a gentle heart.

During these three years, if it hadn't been for his help, she would have died countless times.

It was a pity that Gehrman didn't have enough wins to leave the City of Slaughter with her.

This made her emotions a little complicated, and she even occasionally had the idea that it would be nice to live in the City of Slaughter with Gehrman like this.

But as soon as she thought of the worry and expectation on her teacher's face when she sent herself in, she would extinguish this thought and bury it in the deepest part of her heart.

Hu Liena said to the crow on her shoulder, "You go back first, I still have something to do today."

The crow turned its head and glanced at her, its eyes revealing a deep meaning, just like its master, Gehrman Sparrow.

Hu Liena was a little flustered by its gaze and couldn't help but ask, "What… what's wrong?"

"Gah…" The crow didn't answer, flapping its wings and flying into the sky, disappearing into the darkness.

Hu Liena watched it merge into the darkness, took a light breath, and walked towards another man who had left a deep impression on her memory.

… … … …

In an ordinary stone house, a man with blue hair and a handsome face was eating a piece of bread.

At this moment in the City of Slaughter, this ordinary food was especially precious, and only the strong were qualified to enjoy it.

He was such a strong man, "Shura King" Tang San, another ninety-nine win, about to challenge the champion.

Tang San ate very slowly and carefully, and only at this time did he feel that he had not been assimilated by those humanoid creatures that could only be regarded as beasts, and was still a normal person.

Bang, bang, bang, some rude knocking sounded.

Tang San took out the Clear Sky Hammer as soon as possible. In this City of Slaughter, no one is invincible, even a Titled Douluo is just an ordinary person with a stronger body.

The reason why he can get to where he is now is that his skills and caution are stronger than others.

"Who?" Tang San said coldly.

"It's me, the Hell Messenger," Hu Liena reported her alias.

"Open the door yourself and state your intention," Tang San tried to restrain his murderous aura.

He knew very well that everyone in this City of Slaughter was abnormal, even if they hadn't killed anyone, they would slowly accumulate murderous aura, and if they killed someone, the accumulation speed would be even faster.

Moreover, every time someone was killed, the murderous aura on their body would increase by several points, as if the murderous aura of the killed person had been transferred to their own body.

If one doesn't control one's own murderous aura and connects with the murderous aura of others, the two will uncontrollably develop killing intent towards each other. The stronger the murderous aura of both parties, the more intense the killing intent towards each other after the connection, and eventually a fight to the death will break out.

He had watched Hu Liena's match and believed that he was not afraid of her. In a life-and-death fight, his chances of winning were over 90%, but he was very afraid of the man named Gehrman Sparrow.

The place where that man lived was a forbidden area in the inner city of the City of Slaughter. No one who dared to cause trouble there could survive. Tang San had personally seen him kill two Soul Douluos easily with a smile on his face.

Although he had two soul bones, the City of Slaughter did not prohibit soul bone skills, but this trump card could not bring any sense of security when facing that person.

When Gehrman participated in the Hell Killing Field to obtain the qualification to live in the inner city for the next year, even he had to temporarily retreat.

So Tang San tried his best to restrain his murderous aura, so as not to connect with the murderous aura of the "Hell Messenger" and cause the two to fight to the death.

Hu Liena kicked the door open and quickly retreated to the side at the same time.

Tang San made almost the same movement.

Being vigilant against anyone is the number one survival rule in the City of Slaughter.

Hu Liena raised her hands, indicating that she had no malice, and slowly walked into the house.

Tang San also put away the Clear Sky Hammer and carefully kept his distance.

Looking at Tang San's murderous aura, which was restrained to the point of being almost imperceptible, Hu Liena was slightly surprised. She knew that the person in front of her was as murderous as herself, but the other party's condition seemed to be much better than her own.

"State your intention," Tang San said coldly.

"Mr. San Wuqi (357), I'm here to cooperate with you. You have also won ninety-nine games and are about to become a hundred-win champion, right?" Hu Liena didn't know Tang San's real name, so she used his number in the City of Slaughter to address him.

Because Tang San absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor soul ring, his appearance changed greatly, so Hu Liena did not recognize this man who had defeated them in the finals.

"Are you joking? You can't possibly be unaware of the rules of the Hell Slaughterhouse, can you? Only one person can survive in the same arena. Is cooperation even possible?" Tang San's eyes held a hint of doubt.

"We won't encounter each other in the matches. Once we exceed fifty matches, according to the rules of Slaughter City, we won't meet in the Hell Slaughterhouse. The alliance I'm talking about is for the Hell Road."

"Hell Road?" Tang San frowned. He had heard this term from the residents of Slaughter City, but no one could provide him with more specific information.

All he knew was that Hell Road was the biggest secret of Slaughter City, and only centennial champions had the right to know.

Hu Liena nodded: "There's no limit to the number of people when Hell Road opens. You shouldn't be a Fallen One either. Like me, you're here for training. By now, our training is almost at the final stage. Hell Road is the greatest challenge we both need to face. Only by joining forces will we have a better chance of getting through it."

Tang San was skeptical: "Why should I trust you? Who knows if you'll stab me in the back?"

Hu Liena smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, you're from the Clear Sky Sect. That Clear Sky Hammer can't be fake. I'm from the Spirit Hall, and my name is Hu Liena. My teacher is the current Pope of the Spirit Hall."

"To prove my sincerity, I can tell you all the information my teacher has told me. If we can get out of Hell Road and become a God of Slaughter, we can gain the right to leave Slaughter City freely."

"The entrance to Hell Road is in the Hell Slaughterhouse. The blood and souls of everyone who dies there will be devoured, which is also the source of power for opening Hell Road."

"The murderous aura we've accumulated over the years is actually a form of protection. Only a strong enough murderous aura can prevent us from being affected by the ferocious aura in Hell Road."

"Also, if you can pass Hell Road, you can get an additional rare domain-type skill. Generally speaking, that's something that only Soul Masters who reach the Title Douluo realm might encounter when their ninth soul skill appears."

"Within your own domain, your own strength will be magnified, and the enemy's strength will be suppressed. The effect is terrifying. Moreover, the innate domain will improve with your own strength, while the God of Slaughter Domain will increase with the strengthening of murderous aura."

"I've finished speaking. It's up to you to decide whether you're willing to join forces."

Tang San's eyes were deep as he asked: "Why do you know so much?"

"Gehrman told me," Hu Liena said with a sly smile.

"Him…" Tang San pondered for a moment, "Since you've told me so much, let me remind you that Bloody Mary is poisonous. The more you drink, the more toxins accumulate in your blood, which may affect your ability to pass Hell Road."

"Poison in the blood?"

"That's right. In fact, the toxin comes from the air, but it accumulates in people's blood. When you drink someone else's blood, some of the toxins accumulated in their blood will transfer to your body," Tang San nodded seriously.

Hu Liena's face turned extremely ugly.

Tang San flicked out a pill. "This is the antidote. It can remove the toxins in your blood. If you want to cooperate with me, then eat it. Otherwise, forget it. I won't venture into Hell Road with someone who has hidden dangers."

Hu Liena took it, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll take it back and eat it later."

Tang San nodded: "It doesn't matter, I can tell whether your poison has been removed or not anyway. Last question, who exactly is Gehrman? What is his relationship with Amon?"

That face, identical to Amon's, had always bothered Tang San. In the beginning, he had even mistaken him for Amon.

"You've seen Amon?" Hu Liena's face showed suspicion.

"I encountered him before entering. A very terrifying opponent. The two of them look exactly alike," Tang San replied. "You two are so close, you should know their connection, right?"

Hu Liena took a deep breath and replied: "Gehrman told me that they both came from an ancient hidden family called the Amon family. The Amon you know is probably his younger brother, Jacob, who is a traitor to the family."

"Gehrman left the family to hunt down his own brother. He had investigated that Amon had entered Slaughter City, but he didn't expect it to be a trap. Amon didn't come here at all. It was just to trap Gehrman in this place."

"Trap?" Tang San asked in confusion.

"Yes, Gehrman is very strong, very strong… Jacob, the Amon you know, understands him very well, so he never thought of killing Gehrman with just Slaughter City. He just wanted to buy time for his own growth."

As she spoke, Hu Liena's face showed guilt. "If it weren't for my burden, he would have left long ago."

To think that Amon, who was so powerful that even his own father was wary of him, Amon who could contend with a Title Douluo, would be so afraid of someone!

Tang San couldn't help but show a look of shock. He took a deep breath to calm the turmoil in his heart.

"As long as you remove the toxins from your blood, I'll agree to join forces with you. Let's arrange a time, finish the remaining match together, and then venture into that mysterious 'Hell Road' together," Tang San said.

"Okay," Hu Liena nodded.
