Having finished his first slaughter battle, Tianlin casually found an empty house in the Inner City to live in. People died here every day, so there were plenty of empty houses.
However, when he first moved in, he was disturbed quite a bit. After all, he looked too easy to bully, young, with not much killing intent, and handsome.
Female Fallen Ones wanted to take him back and raise him, while male Fallen Ones wanted to make him into the freshest Bloody Mary. It wasn't until Tianlin went on a killing spree, slaughtering nearly a hundred Soul Masters in one go, that things barely quieted down.
It was the first time he had killed so many people in a single day. To be honest, it was a little uncomfortable, especially the sudden surge in killing intent that he couldn't quite control.
The air here was poisonous, seemingly reacting to people's killing intent, driving them into complete madness. Only by drinking Bloody Mary, which also contained poison, could one temporarily fight poison with poison.
But that was like drinking poison to quench thirst. The poison in the air was resolved, but the poison from the Bloody Mary accumulated in the body. When it erupted, he feared he would die even more horribly than the people in the Slaughter Arena today.
Tianlin understood Dugu Bo's worries. His days here were to be calculated in years. Over time, he feared his body's poison resistance limit would be broken. But the Holy Spirit Pearl that Dugu Bo gave him could completely isolate the poison outside his body, allowing him to breathe filtered fresh air.
"Thanks, Old Monster. I won't let you down."
Tianlin sat cross-legged and began to try to control the suddenly increased killing intent. At this moment, the Holy Spirit Domain actively opened, helping Tianlin to calm his mind.
"What a magical feeling. Under the Holy Spirit Domain, my killing intent hasn't weakened at all, but it's completely restrained, as if it's an extension of my arm." Tianlin suddenly became extremely calm.
"What a rich Supreme Goodness Power, Xiao Tian. This Slaughter City is simply a treasure land for your training. I discovered today that your Demon Sword can absorb the fighting spirit, resentment, and hatred of the dead here, accelerating your growth. But cultivating in this way for a long time can easily pollute your mind, turning you into a bloodthirsty demon."
"Coincidentally, you also have a Holy Spirit Pearl. The Supreme Goodness Power inside is simply the nemesis of this Slaughter City. It can dissolve the evil thoughts in your heart at any time, allowing you to maintain your original intention. With the two working together, your strength will definitely undergo a qualitative leap," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said excitedly.
"Yes, and not only that, since the Holy Spirit Domain can open, then my Demon Suppression Domain can naturally open as well!" Tianlin laughed.
Subsequently, the Demon Suppression Domain completely covered the room where Tianlin was. Tianlin summoned the Demon Sword again, and six Spirit Rings, one yellow, two purple, two black, and one red, appeared.
"Hehe, as expected of the talent domain produced after the Demon Sword became a Divine Spirit. Even the domain left by the Asura God is restrained by me. Although the range isn't large, at least I can use Spirit Abilities in the Slaughter City." Tianlin smiled with satisfaction. He had another trump card.
Of course, unless it was a life-or-death crisis, he would never easily reveal the secret that he could use Spirit Abilities. He planned to save this for when he charged the Hell Road, otherwise he would be opposed by the entire Slaughter City.
Two months passed quickly. By this time, Tianlin had basically completely adapted to life in the Slaughter City. He had also won fourteen consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena. During this time, he had been killing people almost every day, but what was strange was that his killing intent was still the same, seemingly not improving at all.
It was impossible that it wasn't improving. This was like how Tang San in the original story went to Yuexuan to refine his heart after training in the Slaughter City, ultimately restraining his terrifying killing intent within his body, only to unleash it during battle.
With the help of the Holy Spirit Pearl's Supreme Goodness Power, it seemed he didn't need the subsequent steps. Whether it was killing intent or state of mind, he could control it as he pleased.
In the past few days, an uninvited guest had come to the Slaughter City, at least as far as he was concerned. It was Hu Liena.
Tianlin thought about it. She did arrive at the Slaughter City around this time.
She had also seen Tianlin, but unlike Tang San in the original story, who had greatly changed his appearance, Tianlin didn't even wear a mask, so she was full of hostility towards Tianlin.
The Hu Liena of the original story didn't recognize Tang San, who had changed his appearance, and was attracted by his appearance and strength, slowly falling in love with him.
But Tianlin had always been the object of her deep hatred. No matter how excellent Tianlin's appearance and strength were, he was a person who must be killed in her eyes. This was the so-called preconceived notion. Plus, Tianlin wouldn't be a warm man (licking dog) to care for her and protect her. How could she fall in love with her enemy? She was probably thinking about how to kill Tianlin in the Slaughter City by the way.
It seemed that he wouldn't be able to enjoy the treatment of Tang San, who attracted the hearts of beauties. But it didn't matter, he wasn't a lustful ghost, and he wasn't interested in Hu Liena in the first place. If the other party wanted to put him to death, he would never show mercy, after all, this was the Slaughter City.
This Hu Liena's strength was indeed good. Her Spirit was the Demon Fox, not good at physical attacks, so she always carried a short sword for self-defense.
Bibi Dong probably also passed on a set of self-created Spirit Abilities to her. When used with this short sword, every move was extremely dangerous, attacking vital points. This also allowed her to quickly achieve several consecutive victories, and she was nicknamed Hellbringer.
Today was Tianlin's fifteenth match, and his opponents today were basically all Soul Sage-level experts. Even if they couldn't use Spirit Abilities, their combat power wouldn't be worse than Soul Kings who could use Spirit Abilities outside.
Tianlin was the most inconspicuous of all. It was clear that his killing intent was so weak, but he still received the most attention. This was all because they were afraid of Tianlin's swordsmanship.
The Seven Kill Swordplay lineage was really too suitable for this Slaughter City.
To deal with Tianlin first, the nine people pounced from nine different directions. Tianlin's eyes showed no sign of panic. Stepping on the Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Step, his figure flickered like an illusion, and he had already flashed behind a Soul Sage, striking out with a palm, using soul power to shatter the other party's heart.
If he could use Spirit Abilities, the nine Soul Sages would be a great threat to Tianlin, but unfortunately, the cultivation system of the Douluo Continent world is too extreme.
Apart from a few people, most people rely on Spirit Abilities for the rest of their lives. Once Spirit Abilities are restricted, their strength drops by more than 80%.
Soul power is important, but you can't lose your skills.
Xu Changqing once said that the goal of practicing swordsmanship is to stab the opponent. The sword that stabs the opponent is real, but before reaching that reality, you have to go through countless illusions.
These illusions are actually skills. The more exquisite the skills, the shorter the time it takes to go through the illusions.
For the Soul Masters of Slaughter City, the Seven Kill Swordplay can be said to be a dimensionality reduction strike.
