Douluo: Soul Shadow King - Chapter 239
c239 City of Slaughter
After leaving the Far North, Cheng Xiao returned to Tiandou City without stopping. Nash’s speed was very fast. It took less than a day to return from the Far North to Tiandou City. Nash’s speed also shocked Xue Di and Bing Di.
Perhaps the two kings of the Far North had never thought that there were creatures with such speed.
When approaching Tiandou City, Xue Di and Bing Di’s eyes also showed curiosity. This was their first time to come to human society and their first time to see a human city. After all, they had never left the Far North.
After entering the city and checking, Cheng Xiao easily walked into Tiandou City, and Bing Di and Xue Di, who followed him in human form, naturally attracted the attention of others.
Soon, he returned to the Seven Stars Academy. There was no change in the Seven Stars Academy. Everything was normal.
The students around saw the two peerless beauties following Cheng Xiao, and they opened their mouths wide with surprise on their faces.
But soon, they made way for Cheng Xiao. In the Seven Stars Academy, Cheng Xiao’s status was the same as that of the courtyard Dugu Bo. Although he did not hold a position, his reputation was very loud.
After entering the teaching building, Cheng Xiao went straight to the dean’s office.
After opening the door, he saw Dugu Bo sitting in a chair, handling affairs.
Cheng Xiao raised his lips and said with a smile: “Old Poison, I’m back.”
Hearing Cheng Xiao’s voice, Dugu Bo flashed and came to the latter. After looking him up and down, he smiled and said: “It seems that you have gained a lot from this trip and your strength has improved.”
As he said, Dugu Bo looked at the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor behind Cheng Xiao, frowned slightly, and said: “Who are these two?”
Cheng Xiao smiled and explained to Dugu Bo: “These two are friends I met in the Far North. With them, our strength is more secure.”
Hearing this, Dugu Bo looked at the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor with strange eyes. By the way, are you making friends right?
Seemingly noticing Dugu Bo’s strange eyes, the Snow Emperor looked over with cold eyes. Just a glance, Dugu Bo felt like falling into an ice cellar.
Cold, extremely cold!
Shivering all over, Dugu Bo knew that he couldn’t afford to offend the other party, so he immediately changed the subject, “By the way, I don’t know what the Spirit Hall has been doing recently. I heard from Juhuaguan that the Pope seems to be plotting something. Do we need to prepare in advance?”
“Well…” Cheng Xiao thought for a moment and said softly, “Let’s prepare first. This kind of thing happened in the Worship Hall. I guess no one in the Spirit Hall can restrain the Pope.”
After saying that, Cheng Xiao said again, “Old Poison, I came back to see you this time. I have to go out tomorrow. I have to solve some hidden dangers first.”
Dugu Bo frowned slightly and asked in confusion, “Why are you busier than me?”
Cheng Xiao smiled helplessly and didn’t answer. The main reason was that he was indeed busy. After all, he couldn’t sleep well for a day until the Dragon Emperor died.
…………
Spirit Hall, Elder Hall.
“Grandpa, are you feeling better?” Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu, who was lying on the bed with a pale face like paper, and her bright eyes were faintly tearful.
From childhood to adulthood, her only relative is her grandfather, and it is also her grandfather who cares about her the most. In these days, she has never returned to the Tiandou Empire, and has always been in this elder hall, taking care of Qian Daoliu.
The other priests wanted to help, but they were rejected by Qian Renxue as expected. So, during the time Qian Renxue stayed in the elder hall, several priests stood at the door, guarding the gate like security guards.
“Xiaoxue, grandpa is fine.” Qian Daoliu forced himself to cheer up, touched Qian Renxue’s head, and said softly: “Grandpa just consumed a lot of energy, it’s okay.”
“Grandpa, who hurt you like this?” After hesitating for a long time, Qian Renxue asked the question she wanted to ask most. In her heart, Qian Daoliu is omnipotent, but now, someone can hurt Qian Daoliu like this, how strong is the other party?
“It’s the king of creatures from another world.” Qian Daoliu sighed and said, “Xiaoxue, don’t worry about this for now. It’s not something you can stop.”
“The most urgent thing is to hurry up and take the angel assessment. Only in this way can you have the ability to prevent the tragedy from coming.”
Hearing this, Qian Renxue bit her red lips and nodded heavily. She knew that although her grandfather no longer cared about the affairs of the world, he still stood up resolutely at this point. This is the mission of the Qian family and the responsibility of the descendants of the angel god.
“Grandpa, I know…”
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight appeared on the horizon, the Seven Stars Academy had already become lively.
“Old Poison, time waits for no one, I won’t say goodbye to Lingling and the others, so that they don’t worry.” Standing at the entrance of the academy, Cheng Xiao said to Dugu Bo.
“Stinky boy, I won’t say anything, come back alive.” As a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo has also heard of the name of the Slaughter City. He knows that place is a place that even the Spirit Hall has abandoned, so it must be extremely dangerous.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely come back.” Looking at Dugu Bo’s slightly worried face, Cheng Xiao smiled and said casually.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: “Then let’s go, I’ll wait for you in the academy.”
Cheng Xiao smiled without saying anything. He summoned Nash and stepped on his back. As the dragon wings spread, he flew into the sky in the eyes of everyone and disappeared into the horizon.
Looking at Cheng Xiao who was gradually disappearing from his sight, Dugu Bo sighed softly after a while, turned around and strode towards the teaching building.
…………
According to the map given by Dugu Bo, after Cheng Xiao confirmed the direction, Nash headed to the Killing City as quickly as possible.
Tiandou City is very far away from the killing capital, but Nash’s speed is also top-notch. About a week later, the endless blood-red mountains also appeared in Cheng Xiao’s field of vision, and then, a blood-red town reflected caught the eye.
Looking at the blood-red town, the fast Nash finally slowed down. After a while, Nash returned to his human form and followed Cheng Xiao, Snow Emperor, and Ice Emperor into the blood-red town.
As soon as he stepped into this town, Cheng Xiao felt the strong aura of death. He glanced casually and saw that on the road to the town, there were many deformed corpses that had been eaten. The most bizarre thing was , these corpses were so shriveled that they had obviously been drained of blood.
“How disgusting.” The Ice Emperor frowned subconsciously. She raised her palm, and the green light instantly turned the bloody sky into dark green. Then, the ultimate ice was released. In just a moment, , this town filled with the smell of blood became an iceberg.
Regarding the Ice Emperor’s behavior, Cheng Xiao didn’t say anything and continued to walk alone.
Along the way, many human beings were frozen into ice sculptures. They were more or less armed with weapons. There were even many people with fierce looks on their faces. They were obviously not good people. In a place like this, if you die, you will die. .
The size of the town was a bit beyond Cheng Xiao’s expectation, but after he sent out the shadow soldiers, he found the only building in the town that had not been frozen by the Ice Emperor, which was a blood-red old tavern.
The air in the tavern was very turbid. From the perspective of the shadow soldier, Cheng Xiao could clearly see that the decorations inside were all blood red. It was daytime outside, but the inside of the tavern gave people a cold and dark feeling.
At the door of the tavern, there were several degenerates who were about to open the door, but these degenerates had turned into ice sculptures, and no one could escape.
After finding the destination, Cheng Xiao activated the shadow swap, and then he opened the door of the tavern and walked in.
As soon as he entered the tavern, Cheng Xiao found many fallen people sitting together. When these fallen people saw Cheng Xiao and the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor behind him, their eyes immediately fell on the two women.
Those eyes were filled with all kinds of desires, but there was no fear. Perhaps for these desperadoes, death was no longer a terrible thing.
Being able to come here means that they have accepted death.
Without any hesitation, Cheng Xiao walked directly to the bar. Upon seeing this, the waiter immediately took out three glasses of dark red liquid from under the bar. Although he did not drink it into his mouth, the strong smell of blood still made Xue Emperor and Hyokui felt sick.
“What is this?” Ice Emperor asked with a frown.
“You come here, but you don’t know what this is?” The waiter looked at Ice Emperor coldly and said: It’s called Bloody Mary, and it’s a cup of human blood. ”
“We don’t want to drink this, take it away.” Cheng Xiao took the lead before the Ice Emperor spoke.
“I didn’t expect a baby to come here?” Hearing Cheng Xiao’s words, the fallen people in the tavern immediately looked over. They laughed and said: “This is a killing city. We don’t even dare to drink a cup of human blood. It’s better to do it early.” Go home.”
“He can get out, but these two girls have to stay.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Such a top-notch woman is actually following such a pretty boy. Let us nourish you.”
All kinds of dirty sounds sounded in the tavern. Those degenerates seemed not to take Cheng Xiao seriously. They all looked at the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor with lewd expressions. They had never seen such top-notch beauties. Woolen cloth.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao looked calm. He didn’t even speak or issue an order. All the soldiers lurking in his shadow appeared in the tavern.
With the appearance of the shadow soldiers, these degenerates who were talking nonsense were immediately dumbfounded. They all wanted to escape from here with frightened faces, but it was too late. They insulted the king of the shadows, and their lives came to an end. .
“Leave no one alive!” Following the king’s order, the shadow army engulfed the fallen in an instant.
Soon, there was only one voice left in the tavern, and that was Cheng Xiao’s faint voice.
“Now, can we open the entrance to the Killing City?”
“Okay… okay.” The waiter was so frightened that he had never seen such a terrifying guy before, and immediately opened the passage to the Killing City.
As the passage was opened, a huge hole appeared under the bar, and a cold wind blew up from the cave.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Xiao jumped down with the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor. In the darkness of nothingness, Cheng Xiao seemed to have lost his senses. In less than a moment, he reached the bottom of the passage.
After landing on the ground, the Snow Emperor and the Ice Emperor looked at everything around them curiously. Although they felt a sense of repulsion here, they had no choice but to come and follow.
“Welcome to the City of Killing. This is the capital of hell, a world full of killing. Here, you can get everything you want through killing, but the price is your life.”
A cold voice came from all directions.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao’s expression did not change at all. As the successor of the King of Death, what should he fear in a mere killing place?
“Is this…a fluctuation of magic power?” Cheng Xiao had just taken a few steps when he was keenly aware of the magic scent permeating the air.
A smile appeared on Cheng Xiao’s lips. He had already guessed which king was here. The City of Slaughter was somewhat similar to Castlevania, but he didn’t know whether the ruler here was the King of Slaughter or the Demon King. .
“Come on, let’s go in and take a look.”
Looking back at the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor who looked like curious babies, Cheng Xiao smiled, and after calling out the shadow soldiers, he slowly moved forward.
Walking slowly in the dark passage, the shadow soldiers were at the forefront, so Cheng Xiao had nothing to worry about. If there was a problem, the shadow soldiers would inform him of the information as soon as possible.
Walking in the dark passage, except for the rustling of footsteps, it was almost peaceful. Cheng Xiao kept walking forward. The dark passage seemed to have no end, until a gate came into view.
Following the shadow soldiers to the gate, Cheng Xiao looked up and saw the four characters “City of Killing” written on it.
“You have violated the rules.” The deep and deep voice sounded extremely cold. The black-armored knight riding a war horse stared coldly at Cheng Xiao and his group of soldiers.
“Kill him.” Cheng Xiao said almost nothing nonsense. As soon as he had an idea, the shadow soldiers rushed towards the black armored knight. As the king’s soldiers, they didn’t care about any rules.
The black-armored knight was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought that one day he would hear the words “kill him” from the mouths of people who entered the killing city.
Almost instantly, the black-armored knight was torn to pieces by the shadow soldiers. Although the Killing City has limitations for soul masters, for Cheng Xiao, these so-called restrictions are of no use to him, because he himself is not normal. A soul master, he doesn’t even have soul skills, so why should he be restricted?
With the death of the black-armored knight, the surrounding black-armored knights suddenly changed their attitudes. They stepped forward with respectful faces and threw three tokens to Cheng Xiao. Although they did not drink Bloody Mary, they also defeated the death knight. A way to go into town.
After seeing Cheng Xiao’s strength, these black-armored knights immediately became honest and couldn’t even make a fool of themselves.
Cheng Xiao didn’t talk nonsense. He took the token and walked towards the black city in the distance. The shadow soldiers following him all looked at the black-armored knights with cold expressions on their faces, as if they were about to attack him in the next moment. They were torn apart.
For the shadow soldiers, there is only one consequence for provoking the king, death. (End of chapter)
