Ma Hongjun? He's Not Doing Well Either
"While the Slaughter King hasn't reacted yet, let's empty his coffers!"
Lin Xiao felt no burden whatsoever.
Every Fallen One who entered Slaughter City was a beastly Soul Master who had burned, killed, plundered, raped, and pillaged outside. He had nearly a thousand souls under his belt, yet he felt no guilt.
Instead, he felt a sense of merit all over, estimating he must be radiating golden light.
Besides, slaughtering the Fallen Ones in Slaughter City wasn't the same as destroying Slaughter City itself.
Actions like Tang San's, who directly destroyed the prison, were truly beastly; what Lin Xiao did was merely send death row inmates on their way, not destroy the prison.
Tang San's reason for destroying Slaughter City was also ridiculous.
He thought Slaughter City was too dirty.
In Lin Xiao's view, this was like a little sugar person thinking a rural public toilet was too dirty, and then, after finishing their business and leaving, setting off a firecracker to blow up the public toilet.
Not only did it splatter shit everywhere, but it also forced everyone to relieve themselves wherever they pleased from then on, leaving a legacy of trouble for ten thousand years.
After clearing one street, he immediately moved on to the next.
Ignoring all the curses, pleas, cries, and desperate shouts, dark flames swirled in his Palm, and clusters of enchanting, demonic Black Lotus scattered, beginning the second round of harvesting.
This left the Slaughter King dumbfounded.
"He's not stopping, he's gone to slaughter the next street?"
"His bloodlust is actually this immense!"
Ma Hongjun said with lingering fear:
"Even my Evil Fire Phoenix, which degenerated into a Blood Phoenix, wasn't as insane as him. He's probably completely lost his mind and turned into a beast that only knows how to kill."
The Slaughter King's heart twitched with pain, and he gritted his teeth fiercely:
"No! I can't let him keep killing so unrestrainedly!"
"I must find a way to restrict him!"
The Slaughter King was still pondering how to set a trap for Lin Xiao.
Out of the shadows walked a woman in a black veil, her eyes filled with fear, her voice urgent:
"My King! Something is wrong!"
"Ghost Face Flame Monarch has already completely slaughtered the second street and is heading towards the third!"
Slaughter King: "..."
A look of collapse actually appeared on his pale, sickly face.
At this point, where was there time for any schemes or tricks?
The Slaughter King gritted his teeth and roared:
"He must be stopped! This King will go personally to stop him!"
He took Ma Hongjun and immediately rushed to the Inner City.
Any later.
He'd be reduced to a bare-bones commander!
At that point, what kind of King would he be?!
...
Lin Xiao stored all the souls from the third street within the Million Year Black Gold Soul Ring. Faintly, lines could be seen appearing on the Black Gold Soul Ring. Upon closer inspection, they were actually human faces, truly like a Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Including the souls previously stored but not yet digested.
At this moment, there were over a thousand souls stored within the Million Year Black Gold Soul Ring.
All of them were powerful Soul Masters!
Lin Xiao's eyes gleamed as he looked at Slaughter City. How could he still find it eerie and terrifying?
It was simply a paradise!
Could this be the fifth Treasure Land, besides the Four Great Treasure Lands?
He felt it was no less impressive than the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well!
"Besides Slaughter City, where else could I gather so many Soul Master souls? If it weren't for the rules of Slaughter City suppressing them, how could I so easily harvest these Soul Masters, who should have been powerful, like butchering chickens and dogs?"
Slaughter City was full of good people!
Lin Xiao knew time was short. His rampant slaughter, even with the Slaughter King's vast wealth, would be unbearable. He would surely be stopped soon.
Therefore, he didn't have time to devour all these souls to evolve the Black Sun Purifying Fire. Instead, he roughly stored them all first, planning to devour them all at once later when he had time, completing the final evolution.
It's worth mentioning that during the process of rampant slaughter, Lin Xiao also gained some understanding of the rules of Slaughter City.
During the slaughter, one would continuously accumulate killing intent, and this killing intent would affect one's sanity, making them increasingly irritable, prone to anger, and bloodthirsty.
And throughout Slaughter City, the air itself carried a chronic poison, stimulating one's killing and other desires.
Because Lin Xiao's bloodline was too powerful, coupled with his tempered spirit, and having obtained the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Million Year Head Soul Bone, the impact he experienced was minimal.
It wasn't until he focused his killing that he was slightly affected, but he could shatter the influence simply by concentrating his thoughts.
However, Hu Liena wasn't so lucky.
She was still struggling, fighting against her own killing desires every day. If she didn't possess a Head Soul Bone, she would have already become a slave dominated by the desire to kill.
While Lin Xiao certainly had a way to solve Hu Liena's problem, this was also a form of training for her, so he didn't interfere.
After slaughtering all the Fallen Ones on the third street, Lin Xiao was about to rush to the fourth street with Extreme Speed, but his Spiritual Detection showed an extremely powerful aura rapidly approaching.
"That's enough."
A gloomy voice suddenly sounded.
An extremely terrifying killing intent surged, and even Lin Xiao felt an immense pressure. He turned back and saw the Slaughter King, wearing a dark red cloak, his face as pale as paper, his pupils scarlet, looking at him with intense aggression.
"You are the Slaughter King?"
As Lin Xiao spoke, he exerted himself to use Spiritual Detection, probing the Slaughter King's body. He could sense that another strange spirit was hidden in the area of his heart.
It was the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King.
The Slaughter King did not answer Lin Xiao's question. He frowned slightly, and then a powerful force erupted, isolating Lin Xiao's Spiritual Detection.
Only then did he say blandly:
"Ghost Face Flame Monarch, you certainly have some tricks."
"It seems your abilities are not just limited to that flame that can devour souls."
The Slaughter King got straight to the point:
"Slaughter City does not prohibit members from killing each other, but your excessive killing has shaken the foundation of my Slaughter City, so I had no choice but to step in and stop you."
"Furthermore, I would like to invite you to join Slaughter City. From now on, whether it's Money, Power, or beautiful women, everything will be within reach."
Of course, this was nonsense.
If the Slaughter King wanted to recruit Lin Xiao, why would he only appear after he had gone on a killing spree?
Waiting for Lin Xiao to fall and be controlled by the desire to kill wasn't it precisely so that the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King could parasitize him?
This was an excellent host!
Lin Xiao's lips curved slightly upwards, and just as he was about to speak, he saw a bloated fatty in blood-colored clothing arrive. He grinned and said to him:
"You're quite a character, kid."
"Why not be like me and acknowledge the Slaughter King as your Foster Father? From now on, you'll be second only to him."
"We'll be brothers from now on, playing with women together and drinking human blood together!"
Lin Xiao: "..."
He looked at the unrecognizable Ma Hongjun, who had become hideously ugly, sensing the weak and impure aura of his Phoenix Bloodline, and listening to his ridiculous remarks.
Suddenly, he felt a bit disheartened.
Even as an opponent, he was too disappointing... and revolting!
