Time flies, and at this moment, Tianlin's winning streak has reached ninety-five, very close to a hundred.
Now, a urban legend has emerged in Slaughter City: the most dangerous person here is the one with the lightest murderous aura, because you never know when they are going to strike, and you won't even feel them behind you.
Inside a dark room in the Inner City of Slaughter City, the Blackgauze Woman who initially greeted Tianlin was kneeling on the ground, reporting something to the person in front.
"Sword Dao Asura won again today."
"I know!" A towering figure sat on the chair in front. Although their face was unclear, the boundless domineering aura emanating from them was enough to make anyone tremble.
"Great Slaughter King, Sword Dao Asura's swordsmanship is truly terrifying. Moreover, he is constantly honing his Sword Dao of Slaughter in the midst of slaughter. In the past year and a half, although his level hasn't increased much, his comprehension of Sword Dao is at least five times stronger than before. Furthermore, his sword seems to be able to ignore the opponent's Spirit power defense to attack. Without the ability to use Spirit Abilities, even a Soul Douluo is no match for him, and even a Titled Douluo might..."
The Blackgauze Woman seemed very worried. This was all because of a legend in Slaughter City: the Slaughter God descends, a hellish disaster.
In fact, it refers to the day when a Slaughter God will appear, and it is his appearance that will lead to the destruction of Slaughter City. Originally, this person referred to Tang San, but now, whether he will come is still a question. Even if he comes, he won't be able to produce the Snow-Colored Swan Kiss. This legend is actually nothing to worry about.
"That Hellbringer, she should have about eighty victories by now, right?" the Slaughter King suddenly asked.
The Blackgauze Woman paused and replied, "Yes, eighty-four consecutive victories, second only to Sword Dao Asura. King, are you planning to have them face off?"
"Of course not. The rules of the Hell Slaughter Arena state that fallen ones with more than fifty matches will not meet in the same competition. Even I cannot violate this," the Slaughter King said. "However, we can slightly design their match order so that the two of them complete a hundred victories at roughly the same time."
"King, are you preparing to have them enter the Hell Road together?" the Blackgauze Woman immediately reacted.
The Slaughter King took a sip of the Bloody Mary in his hand and said in a deep voice, "That Sword Dao Asura is quite special. He has no hatred in his heart and has never drunk Bloody Mary. There's no way to scheme against him. But the Hellbringer is different. After being here for so long, toxins have already begun to accumulate in her body. Once she enters the Hell Road, she will become a madwoman."
"The hatred in her heart is incredibly deep, and coincidentally, the object of her hatred is Sword Dao Asura. At that time, the two of them will inevitably kill each other, and neither of them will be able to pass the Hell Road."
"My King is wise!"
Unlike Tang San and Hu Liena in the original story, Hu Liena in the original story not only didn't hate Tang Yin, Tang San's alias, but also harbored affection for him. The Slaughter King saw this and didn't want them to go through the trial together.
But now it's different. If Hu Liena and Tianlin cooperate, mutual help is just a joke. They will only drag each other down, even trying to push the other into hell on the Hell Road.
This time, his judgment was correct. Tianlin and Hu Liena would only be enemies, not friends.
In the days that followed, the match arrangements were as the Slaughter King designed. Sometimes when Tianlin went to sign up, it would be postponed because there weren't enough ten people.
On the other hand, Hu Liena's matches were surprisingly smooth. Gradually, her winning streak began to catch up with Tianlin's. Eventually, the two of them reached ninety-nine consecutive victories at the same time.
"The Slaughter King is scheming against me and Hu Liena!" Back in his room, Tianlin quickly realized something. Although his IQ wasn't very high, he had been following Ning Fengzhi for so long and understood a little about conspiracies and tricks.
Tianlin certainly knew how much the Slaughter King didn't want another Slaughter God to emerge in Slaughter City, so this design was understandable.
"Jun Tianlin, may I have a word?" Just then, someone knocked on his door. It was Hu Liena. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to come to him since entering Slaughter City.
"Come in!" Tianlin wanted to hear what she had to say.
Hu Liena, dressed in black, walked in slowly with charming steps, holding a glass of Bloody Mary in her hand.
"What's the matter?" Tianlin asked.
"Jun Tianlin, we have the same number of wins and will soon reach a hundred wins at the same time. What do you think about joining forces to chuǎng the Hell Road together?" Hu Liena stated her purpose directly. "My teacher is one of the Slaughter Gods who once passed the Hell Road. She clearly told me how dangerous the Hell Road is. It's not something we can easily chuǎng through alone. Only by joining forces will we have a chance of survival."
"How can I trust you? I can clearly sense your killing intent towards me!" Tianlin retorted with a sneer.
"Yes, I really want to kill you. The Amethyst Spirit Cat's right leg Spirit Bone and the Crystal Body Torso Bone were originally Spirit Bones that my teacher had carefully prepared for me, waiting for me to make great contributions to Spirit Hall before rewarding them to me. But now they have been taken away by you, making me unable to raise my head twice in Spirit Hall. One day, I will grind your bones to ashes to eliminate the humiliation of the past," Hu Liena did not deny.
"However, now, more than killing you, I want to get out of Slaughter City alive. So, how about we leave our grudges to be settled after we get out? To show my sincerity, I can tell you a secret. This is what my teacher told me: those who pass the Hell Road will gain recognition from a special domain called the Kiling God Domain."
"As a disciple of Sword Douluo, you should know how rare and powerful domain-type Spirit Abilities are. Apart from the innate domains that come with one in ten thousand super Spirit, ordinary Soul Masters only have a chance of less than one in ten to obtain a domain when they reach level seventy and acquire Spirit Avatar, or when they reach level ninety and obtain their Ninth Spirit Ability."
Hu Liena was very clever. She didn't deny her desire to kill Tianlin, but at the same time, she made it clear that she was more focused on her determination to survive and escape Slaughter City. Coupled with the temptation of a talent domain, it was hard not to believe her.
Tianlin simply went along with her, saying, "It's actually a domain-type Spirit Ability. Fine, I'll trust you this once. If you want to seek revenge on me, I'll be waiting for you at any time. But right now, the most important thing is indeed to leave Slaughter City."
"Happy cooperation!" Hu Liena smiled and drank the Bloody Mary in one gulp, then left contentedly.
Tianlin watched her leave, sneering with disdain. Nine-tenths of what she said was true, and only one-tenth was false. This kind of lie was indeed the most believable.
Her desire to live was true, and the Kiling God Domain was also true, but there was only one thing Tianlin was sure of: she never intended to let him pass the Hell Road as well.
"Let's wait and see, Hu Liena, and see who outmaneuvers whom!"
