Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Bloodline was already so impure it could be described as "negligible," filled with a foul aura that even caused Lin Xiao to slightly furrow his brow.
This was undoubtedly self-sabotage of his future.
Seeing that Lin Xiao hadn't spoken for a long time, and even frowned as he looked at him, Ma Hongjun felt slighted by Lin Xiao. His expression suddenly changed as he said:
"What, do you think I, Ma Hongjun, am not worthy of being your brother, or do you think my Foster Father is not worthy of being your Foster Father?"
"Hmph! You've been slaughtering wantonly in Slaughter City, wasting who knows how much blood. If you don't join us to atone, you'll have to pay with your life!"
Saying this, Ma Hongjun licked his lips.
"Oh right, where's that slut who was with you?"
"Brothers are like hands and feet, women are like clothes. Since we'll be brothers from now on, you wouldn't be reluctant to let me wear a few pieces of clothing, would you?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Ma Hongjun's body suddenly stiffened, feeling a terrifying killing intent lock onto him. And the source of this horrifying killing intent was actually Lin Xiao!
A crimson light flashed in the Slaughter King's eyes, filled with both shock and delight.
"What dense killing intent!"
To be able to cultivate such terrifying killing intent after only three months in Slaughter City, it seemed Lin Xiao was already deeply immersed in the sea of slaughter and couldn't extricate himself.
Lin Xiao said indifferently:
"I can join Slaughter City, but first, this fat guy must be killed."
Lin Xiao pointed at Ma Hongjun.
Hearing about something is not as good as seeing it. After personally witnessing Ma Hongjun's level of degeneracy and disgust, Lin Xiao would absolutely not let him leave Slaughter City alive.
Ma Hongjun's threat wasn't the biggest.
But he was definitely the most disgusting.
Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun flew into a rage.
"You want to kill me? I'll kill you first!"
Driven by a sense of crisis, and filled with 100% killing intent, he summoned his blood-colored Phoenix Martial Soul to possess him, then roared.
"Blood Phoenix True Body!"
Soul Saint?!
After Ma Hongjun's degeneration, he gained power by devouring fresh blood, causing his Soul Power to increase rapidly.
But how could there be no price for doing so?
In Lin Xiao's perception, Ma Hongjun's Soul Saint level Soul Power, whether in quality or quantity, was far inferior to his own as a Soul Emperor.
The purity of his Soul Power was even less worth mentioning, so impure it was like foul swill.
Under the Slaughter King's domain, Ma Hongjun could freely use his Soul Skills, while Lin Xiao, suppressed by the rules of Slaughter City, could only use Soul Bone Skills.
However, Lin Xiao still felt.
He could easily suppress Ma Hongjun!
A dense and foul smell of blood permeated the air. What Ma Hongjun transformed into was less a Blood Phoenix and more a blood-colored bat-bird.
"Ghost Face Flame Monarch!"
"I can use my Martial Soul True Body, but you can't. How much effectiveness can your always successful Soul Devouring Fire display?"
"I'd like to taste how sweet your blood is!"
Ma Hongjun shrieked and pounced.
But Lin Xiao remained calmly standing in place, uttering two words.
"Kneel down."
The massive blood-colored shadow of Ma Hongjun, diving down, instantly stiffened. An immense pressure rose from deep within his bloodline, and the fear from the depths of his soul was etched into his bones.
He actually had an impulse to kneel and worship.
Ma Hongjun raised his head in horror, only to see a crimson Phoenix phantom appear behind the Ghost Face Flame Monarch's white robe, emanating a noble aura.
And as if sensing the appearance of an anomaly.
The Phoenix Martial Soul phantom seemed to come alive. A pair of sharp pupils looked at Ma Hongjun, and brilliant flames erupted from within them.
Martial Soul Suppression, Bloodline Suppression...
Because they shared the same origin, this suppression was like the Blue Silver Emperor suppressing the Blue Silver Grass, overbearing and completely unreasonable!
Let alone Ma Hongjun, even the Slaughter King beside him, upon feeling the aura rising from Lin Xiao, showed horror in his eyes.
The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King... was afraid!
Even though his strength could crush Lin Xiao with one hand, the trembling of the Blood Red Bat King within him made the Slaughter King dare not face Lin Xiao directly!
Ma Hongjun's eyes widened in disbelief. He pointed at Lin Xiao and said in horror:
"You, you are Lin Xiao!"
In an instant, Ma Hongjun descended into madness.
"That's it! This familiar Martial Soul Suppression is even more terrifying than it was four years ago, and this pure Phoenix aura... it can only be you!"
"Hahaha! So it was you!"
"I should have known! I should have known!"
Ma Hongjun's eyes were bloodshot, his narrow eyes squeezed by fat now completely transformed into beast-like pupils, staring hatefully at Lin Xiao.
A sharp shriek erupted from his mouth.
He had actually broken through the Bloodline Suppression with sheer force.
After hearing the sharp shriek, Lin Xiao felt his blood stirring slightly and his skin starting to heat up. He knew this was likely an ability Ma Hongjun gained after degenerating into the so-called "Blood Phoenix."
The ability to control blood.
But in a flash, Lin Xiao's body ignited with crimson Phoenix Fire, and the abnormality in his body disappeared.
"Phoenix Fire Three Profound Transformations!"
Four types of flames ignited on Lin Xiao's body: Jet-Black Phoenix Fire, Ultimate Phoenix Fire, Great Sun Golden Flame, and Soul Devouring Fire. The four flames appeared sequentially, causing his aura to climb steadily.
His Right Arm Soul Bone lit up, "*Phoenix Burst Strike!*"
A punch shot out, fiercely striking Ma Hongjun's head.
Ma Hongjun dodged to the side.
His half-shoulder was instantly blown apart!
However, the blood was truly strange. As the blood mist in the air thinned, Ma Hongjun's injuries rapidly recovered.
Yet, a wisp of Jet-Black Phoenix Fire, like a maggot clinging to bone, stuck to his body, continuously burning Ma Hongjun's blood.
This Jet-Black Phoenix Fire emitted a horrifying aura of Destruction that was shocking to behold.
The Slaughter King's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
So, this kid is the Saint Child the Godhood is looking for!
The Saint Child capable of wielding Darkness and Destruction!
In an instant, a murderous intent secretly arose in the Slaughter King's heart.
He guessed that the Godhood was likely looking for this so-called Saint Child to inherit the Godhood, which would mean he would have to give up his identity as the Slaughter King, or even sacrifice his life to help him achieve godhood!
How could the fallen Slaughter King tolerate such a thing happening?
He couldn't even tolerate anything that could threaten his status!
Therefore, after he mistakenly thought Ma Hongjun was the Saint Child, he chose to enslave and parasitize Ma Hongjun, making him degenerate into a monster like himself.
And Lin Xiao's fate could only be one of two!
First, be parasitized and enslaved by him!
Second, be killed by him and have his blood sucked dry!
The Slaughter King's eyes gleamed with greed as he stared intently at Lin Xiao, who was unilaterally beating Ma Hongjun. The aura emanating from the other party certainly made him tremble, but it also possessed immense attraction!
He had a premonition...
No, he was certain!
If he could devour all of Lin Xiao's blood, his strength would undergo a qualitative leap!
At that time, who could shake his rule?
