Suddenly, the night receded, and the red moon hung in the sky once more.
The Bloodthirsty Cultists, who were sucking blood amidst the chaos, gathered in large numbers; moreover, they seemed to have ceased their conflict with the allied forces, reaching the fastest and most efficient cooperation.
This was the effect brought by that dragon roar, forcibly pulling Slaughter City back from the brink of its end.
Chu Feng had anticipated this, but it happened a bit faster than he had imagined.
"It seems your status here isn't that high. Based on my judgment, the Golden Dragon King has arrived."
Among Tang Chen's panicked expressions, there was an added sense of surprise; how did Chu Feng know about the Golden Dragon King?
"You, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the help of two gods. I'm warning you, now is your best chance to run away."
Tang Chen was still being stubborn; he knew he had lost and had internally surrendered, but bowing his head was not in his character.
After all, Tang San was like this too; as Tang San's ancestor, they were certainly cut from the same cloth.
Moreover, Tang Chen's reaction to the Golden Dragon King's appearance seemed to be a mix of fear and hope.
Chu Feng took the opportunity to say, "I already said you were laughable, but I didn't expect you to keep lowering the bar. The dignified Slaughter King, who is now considered a god, is actually afraid of a little worm?"
"Dammit~"
Tang Chen was about to curse; having been ridiculed repeatedly, he couldn't hold it in any longer, and his composure was completely shattered.
Chu Feng continued to tease, "Do you believe now that I can achieve God Slaying? I'll ask you one more time, before that worm arrives."
"I certainly won't believe it. Bestowing godhood is a Domain that even the God Realm finds difficult to control. You think you can bestow godhood just with a broken list? And you even dream of dealing with the Golden Dragon King? You must be delusional."
Tang Chen gritted his teeth hard and breathed heavily; he simply refused to submit.
However, reality soon taught him a lesson. After all, Zhu Zhuqing's first time being bestowed godhood couldn't be without any fanfare, so she wanted to test her abilities as the Goddess of the Night.
Thus, Zhu Zhuqing arrived before Tang Chen like a bolt of lightning, first using her second Spirit Ability, Hell Hundred Claws.
Sharp and extremely threatening cat claws launched hundreds of attacks at the same spot within a single second, which put considerable pressure on Tang Chen.
However, Tang Chen at least had Asura God Power, which he used to condense a small-scale Asura Space that could temporarily slow Zhu Zhuqing's movements.
But what does the night represent? It represents both extreme suppression and extreme indulgence, so trapping Zhu Zhuqing was impossible.
She only needed a bit of resolve and a single opportunity, and then she could leave behind an afterimage like a golden cicada shedding its skin, while her true self had already appeared behind Tang Chen.
"Night Slay!"
Zhu Zhuqing had created her own skill so quickly; indeed, coldness and ruthlessness were her true nature.
Her cat claws instantly left several bloody gashes on Tang Chen's back, which were even accompanied by the burning sensation of divine force.
Tang Chen immediately spat out a large amount of blood, and those blood-red wings dimmed significantly; the Asura God Power he had just obtained had been beaten down to only a quarter.
At the same time, it wasn't over. Since Chu Feng's act of bestowing godhood took place in a land of extreme evil and malice like Slaughter City, it brought Heaven and Earth Fortune and Heavenly Dao Righteousness to this place.
So when Zhu Zhuqing used her divine force, the Heavenly Dao manifested its divine might in passing, and a thunderclap roared down, striking half of Tang Chen's body.
Tang Chen immediately fell from the sky like a dying black eagle falling, except he wasn't completely dead yet, still clinging to a few breaths of life.
He fell into the very center of the allied forces. The remaining few thousand survivors immediately knelt to show their respect, but in reality, it was all just a formality; the moment Tang Chen died, their attitude would likely shift instantly.
Then, several mocking laughs echoed in the air: "I didn't expect that even with Asura God Power, you'd still be such trash. I, the Golden Dragon King, will not make the same mistake as you."
Then the Golden Dragon King flew out. He made his appearance in the form of a dragon, and that pair of golden wings truly highlighted his extraordinary nature.
Unlike the Golden Dragon King that Chu Feng and Ah Yin had encountered before, who was primarily fiery red in color, it seemed he had mostly likely evolved.
Ah Yin was familiar with him, so she naturally took the initiative to block his path, saying sternly, "A defeated foe actually dares to show up again? Have you not had enough of your previous lesson?"
"Hmph? This isn't a trashy place like Bailuo Hall. Slaughter City has already made me stronger. This time, I will definitely reclaim my dragon god core."
The Golden Dragon King instantly transformed into a human; the blood-colored patterns all over his face looked much more terrifying than Tang Chen's, and at the same time, disgusting bubbles were gurgling on the surface of his body.
This further indicated that he must have undergone some sort of demonic transformation; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to become so hideous.
Ah Yin smiled and said, "With just you, do you have the strength? I'm afraid you'll end up with a fate as miserable as Tang Chen's."
"Then let's try it. I really want to see just how profound your divine force is."
The Golden Dragon King became even more arrogant and aggressive; he activated his bloodline power and swung a massive dragon tail from behind him.
The terrifying pressure directly caused the red moon in the sky to shift its position, and Slaughter City itself seemed to tilt slightly.
Most of the killing intent converged on him, and the Bloodthirsty Cultists gulped down the Marrow Cleansing mortal blood from the ground to increase the surrounding killing intent.
"Blue Silver Shield."
Ah Yin was forced to use her Blue Silver Emperor power, which was weakened in this place, hurriedly forming a shield to defend herself.
Instantly, that dragon tail struck the shield, causing a large number of cracks to burst open upon it.
Ah Yin was puzzled: "Without the dragon god core, your bloodline power is no longer pure. How have you become stronger instead?"
"Hmph, want to know? Pity you won't get the chance."
The Golden Dragon King was triumphant as he struck with another dragon tail attack.
Ah Yin was a bit flustered and even forgot to dodge; the shield was in a precarious state.
At the critical moment, fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing was exceptionally focused and moved Ah Yin to a safe position from under the dragon tail at the fastest speed.
Although the dragon tail's attack didn't succeed, it hit a nearby mountain peak and caused an explosion; Xing Tian and Chi You took this opportunity to disappear, as they were exhausted.
Furthermore, from the current perspective, this battle had the potential to completely destroy the small World of Slaughter City.
Only the purest innate power, rather than external force, would be able to fight until the end.
So Chu Feng retracted the di-earth flame light banner at this time, shrinking it so it could be held in his hand, and walked straight toward the Golden Dragon King.
The investiture of the gods list followed by his side; Zhu Zhuqing's name had only just been carved onto it, mainly because the evil energy here was too heavy, making the carving a bit troublesome.
But the reason he didn't put away the list was that Chu Feng felt there was some connection between the aura of the investiture of the gods list, the aura of the Golden Dragon King, and the sudden opportunity for the system to upgrade.
Of course, this wasn't a groundless guess; he had seen the exact same phenomenon when the Heaven and Earth Fortune first flowed through the Douluo Continent.
A few major opportunities were lingering nearby, right here in Slaughter City.
