Chapter 336: The King of Slaughter's Invitation
In the Hell Killing Field.
The deafening roar of the audience echoed throughout the arena, and in a battle that could have been likened to the Roman Colosseum, a fierce fight was unfolding.
Oh no! It should be described as a crushing battle!
In the vast arena, a young man with a tall, muscular build, covered in golden dragon scales, with long golden hair, golden dragon horns, and golden vertical pupils, looked like a warrior from the Dragonblood Warrior race.
He was swinging his golden fists, his body moving like lightning, continuously dodging and striking, ruthlessly knocking his opponents back with each punch. With each hit, they spat blood and flew through the air, falling lifelessly to the ground.
This warrior, resembling a Dragonblood Warrior, was none other than Lin Yu after being bonded with the Golden Dragon Martial Soul.
"Golden Dragon King! Golden Dragon King!!"
From the stands, as they saw Lin Yu casually knock out the last opponent with a punch that crushed his ribcage, making him spit blood and fly, collapsing to the ground motionless, the surrounding fallen soul masters in the crowd erupted into even more fervent cheering, their shouts filling the air.
However, Lin Yu remained unfazed, his expression unchanged, his heart calm.
Though the atmosphere seemed similar, this was the Hell Killing Field in the City of Slaughter, not a regular Soul Fighting Arena.
Facing the surrounding fallen soul masters, who could be described as the dregs of society, Lin Yu had no intention of bowing or acknowledging their applause after the fight.
After taking down his last opponent with a swift punch, amidst the deafening cheers, Lin Yu turned and walked out of the arena through a passage that led to the main hall.
In the hall, Liu Erlong had already left the stands and was waiting for him.
"Aotian!"
Seeing Lin Yu emerge, Liu Erlong's beautiful face lit up with joy as she quickly walked toward him, standing by his side.
As she joined him, Lin Yu smiled and began chatting with her.
The two of them laughed and talked as they prepared to leave the Hell Killing Field, go rest, and return later for more battles.
But just as they were heading towards the exit of the Hell Killing Field, in the main hall, a figure in a black robe who had been waiting for them for a long time stepped forward, clearing a path through the crowd, and approached them, cupping his hands respectfully.
"Golden Dragon King, Red Dragon Queen, may I have a moment of your time?"
Hearing the voice, Lin Yu and Liu Erlong both stopped and turned toward the black-robed figure.
"Who are you? What do you want with us?"
Seeing the black-robed man, Lin Yu couldn't help but frown slightly.
Ever since making a name for himself in the Hell Killing Field, Lin Yu had gained quite a number of fans, though the fans in the City of Slaughter clearly had some issues.
Some of them even asked him to carve their names into them as signatures, which Lin Yu found quite absurd.
For these fans, who clearly lacked common sense, Lin Yu always kept his distance.
"Hehe, both of you, I come as a representative of our great ruler, the King of Slaughter, to meet with you and discuss a few matters. I hope you would be willing to spare a moment!"
The black-robed man smiled warmly and quickly explained, bowing slightly before extending his invitation.
The King of Slaughter?
Upon hearing the black-robed man's explanation, Lin Yu's mind immediately stirred. He exchanged a glance with Liu Erlong.
Thanks to the exposure from the livestream, both Lin Yu and Liu Erlong were aware of the King of Slaughter.
As for the King of Slaughter sending someone to speak with them, Lin Yu didn't need to think twice. Based on what had happened in the original story, it was clear the King of Slaughter wanted to recruit him.
However, Lin Yu clearly intended to refuse.
"You are here to recruit us on behalf of the King of Slaughter, aren't you?"
Since Lin Yu had already guessed his intention, he didn't beat around the bush and directly asked.
"Yes."
The black-robed man was slightly surprised that Lin Yu had guessed it, but he wasn't overly shocked.
After all, in a previous livestream, the City of Slaughter's events had been broadcasted, and it had shown that the King of Slaughter wanted to recruit the Asura King Tang San and the Hell Messenger. Unfortunately, both of them had refused.
"Since both of you have guessed, let me be direct. I'm here on behalf of the great King of Slaughter to invite both of you. If you're willing to join the City of Slaughter,"
"The great King promises to grant you both the positions of commanders of the City of Slaughter's legions. From now on, you will have the freedom to come and go within the City of Slaughter and even use your soul techniques here. I wonder what your thoughts are?"
Since Lin Yu had guessed his purpose, the black-robed man didn't mince words. He bowed and directly laid out the King of Slaughter's offer.
The freedom to come and go within the City of Slaughter, and the ability to use soul techniques here?
Upon hearing the black-robed man's offer, Lin Yu smiled faintly.
This condition wasn't bad at all. If he were a fallen soul master seeking refuge in the City of Slaughter, he might have agreed. But unfortunately, neither he nor Liu Erlong was.
If this offer had been made earlier, it might have been quite attractive to Liu Erlong.
Before, when she was protecting Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong had to stay in the City of Slaughter, but she surely also wanted the ability to go out and gather resources to improve Yu Xiaogang's life.
But now, after Lin Yu's scheme, coupled with the exposure from the last livestream and Yu Xiaogang's own confession, Liu Erlong had completely severed ties with Yu Xiaogang and was eager to leave the City of Slaughter with him.
Now, for both of them, the only valuable thing in the City of Slaughter was passing the Hell Road to acquire the Killing God domain. Neither of them would be willing to give that up.
"Sorry, we're not here to seek refuge in the City of Slaughter as fallen soul masters. We came to the City of Slaughter to pass the Hell Road and gain the Killing God domain."
"So, we must respectfully decline the King of Slaughter's offer."
Without much thought, Lin Yu immediately declined the black-robed man's invitation.
"You two really don't want to reconsider? Let's not even talk about the dangers of passing the Hell Road. Even the Hell Killing Field isn't something that can be easily conquered with one hundred consecutive victories."
"I think you should reconsider. If something were to happen in the Hell Killing Field, you would regret it, and it would be too late by then."
Hearing Lin Yu's refusal, the black-robed man frowned slightly and, with a hint of a threatening tone, continued speaking.
