Ning Rongrong bit her lip. "Third Brother, I understand. Killing Jiang Chen is more important."
Dai Mubai said hatefully, "Since the Spirit Empire is so powerful, let them deal with these Fallen Ones."
They used such reasons to console themselves, trying to eliminate that trace of guilt and unease in their hearts.
Tang San said nothing. After charging into the large hole blasted open, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
The path ahead was already blocked, and rumbling sounds and vibrations were still coming from inside.
"Damn it, that Slaughter King is destroying the passageway," Dai Mubai said angrily.
Tang San glanced back. With the Slaughter King's departure, the spirit rings on those Fallen Ones behind them disappeared again, suppressed once more by the laws of Slaughter City back into their bodies.
The red light in the eyes of these Fallen Ones gradually faded, their rationality returning. Seeing the seven Title Douluo ahead, they fled in panic.
Tang San quickly made a decision. "Go back the way we came."
Between the Slaughter King and Jiang Chen, he chose Jiang Chen.
To leave from here, they would have to reopen the passageway, and they might still be ambushed by the Slaughter King, it was not worth it.
Returning the original way, no one would stop them, and the speed of getting back to the surface would be much faster.
The group once again passed through the city and entered that tunnel.
Tang San stayed at the rear, lightly striking the tunnel walls with the trident in his hand. With a force of one hundred and eight thousand jin acting upon them, the tunnel immediately collapsed.
Inspired by the Slaughter King, he destroyed the tunnel so that those Fallen Ones would find it difficult to get out.
Even if the passageway were reopened, it would take no short amount of time. By then, they might already have killed Jiang Chen and could return with peace of mind to deal with this group of Fallen Ones.
What he did not know was that besides the tunnel they had entered through, Slaughter City still had many entrances and exits.
Their actions in Slaughter City at this moment thoroughly disrupted the order of Slaughter City.
Those Fallen Ones no longer remained quiet and began to charge at those exits one after another.
With the Slaughter King not inside Slaughter City, the leaders of the enforcers had also lost their spirit rings. The enforcers' authority no longer existed, and they were torn apart by those brutal Fallen Ones.
Before entering Slaughter City, these Fallen Ones had yearned for Slaughter City.
But after truly arriving here, they realized this was an extremely terrifying hell, and they began to yearn for life on the surface once more.
Now that there was a chance to escape this place, how could they hesitate?
...
The small town above Slaughter City had already appeared within Jiang Chen's line of sight. He rapidly approached it.
"I have already used the God of Slaughter Domain to create a sense of death threat for Tang Chen. He has fled without a fight and is currently heading toward the surface," the Asura God's voice rang out in Jiang Chen's mind.
"What I can do is only this much. This does not affect the duel between you and him. His strength is still relatively complete, so I do not count as violating the rules."
"Senior, thank you," Jiang Chen replied, slowing his speed and preparing to meet the battle that could come at any time.
He had originally planned to wait until he reached the ninetieth rank before challenging Tang Chen, but he had not expected that because of Tang San, this decisive battle would be advanced.
As he neared the small town, the ground began to tremble slightly.
Jiang Chen activated his Heavenly Punishment Eye and scanned downward. Immediately, he saw Tang Chen rapidly approaching from below.
Bang!
The ground exploded open, and a red figure shot up from underground.
Jiang Chen restrained his aura and watched as the Slaughter King emerged from underground, then quickly departed.
He glanced downward once more. Tang San and the others were still inside Slaughter City, seemingly wanting to chase it out.
The reason he let the Slaughter King go was that he did not want to fight here.
He was worried that after Tang San and the others came out, they would interfere in his battle with the Slaughter King.
Therefore, he had to place the battlefield elsewhere.
To Tang San and the others, Jiang Chen was more important than the Slaughter King.
But to Jiang Chen, Tang Chen was more important than Tang San.
Not long after Tang Chen left, Jiang Chen immediately followed.
He was extremely confident in his own speed. This was also the reason he dared to let Tang Chen leave first.
Because of the medicinal pills, his spirit power had always remained at peak condition. And from what the Asura God had said, Tang Chen had not fought with Tang San.
In this way, the battle between the two of them was fair.
The location of Slaughter City was extremely concealed, very far from any populated areas or cities, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with treacherous terrain.
Jiang Chen felt a bit of pity for Tang San in his heart, actually chasing after his own great-grandfather.
"I wonder what expression Tang San will have after learning the truth? Will he shout about upholding justice by killing his own kin?" Jiang Chen thought with interest.
After leaving, Tang Chen had continuously concealed his own aura, traveling extremely quickly through the mountain forests.
It was just past noon at this time. The sun was fierce, but Tang Chen's mood was extremely gloomy.
That Asura King was simply insane. So many previous Gods of Slaughter had never destroyed Slaughter City, yet upon reaching this Asura King, he insisted on exterminating him completely.
"Once I find out your identity on the Douluo Continent, I will definitely destroy your family and make sure all your relatives and friends die!"
Tang Chen swore viciously.
At this moment, in merely a short while, he had already fled more than ten li away. Coupled with concealing his aura, Tang San and the others could not possibly find him again.
Just after finishing his curse, Tang Chen inadvertently glanced back. His pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and his heart began pounding wildly.
Ten meters behind him, someone was actually following!
It was a handsome young man, his feet not touching the ground, stepping directly on empty air, with not a single trace of aura leaking from his body.
Because he had restrained his aura, Tang Chen had not even released his spiritual power.
But the hearing of a Peerless Douluo was extremely sharp, yet he had not heard even a single sound of wind.
If not for seeing it with his own eyes, he would never have believed someone could silently follow ten meters behind him.
Because his speed was extremely fast, to keep up with his speed, it was fundamentally impossible not to make even a little sound.
Yet the young man behind him had managed it, extremely eerie.
What one feared most was the air suddenly becoming quiet… The two were separated by ten meters, just staring at each other like that.
"Slaughter King, long time no see." Jiang Chen grinned.
Tang Chen's expression turned cold. "So it's you, Blood Demon."
Blood Demon was precisely the title Jiang Chen had held back when he was in Slaughter City. This title was not one he had chosen himself, but one given by others based on his bloodthirsty methods.
"Are you also here to kill me like the Asura King?" Tang Chen stared coldly at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen shrugged. "Whether I kill you or not doesn't matter. My goal is to defeat you. As for that Asura King, he and I are not on the same side."
Tang Chen warily scanned the surroundings. He did not quite believe that Jiang Chen would actually come alone to stop him.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Relax. My purpose is a fair fight with you. There's only me."
Tang Chen's eyes flashed. He said, "In that case, let's first shake off that Asura King, then have a fair fight. How about it?"
"Alright." Jiang Chen agreed at once.
He also did not want Tang San interfering in the battle between him and Tang Chen.
If after he dealt with Tang Chen, Tang San still had not left, he did not mind experiencing the methods of Tang San and the others.
Tang Chen snorted coldly. "I do not have the habit of turning my back on others."
Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, stepped forward, and stood ten meters to Tang Chen's left.
Tang Chen glanced at Jiang Chen, a flash of fierce light passing through his eyes.
Truly, any random cat or dog dared to challenge the dignity of him, the Slaughter King.
If not for being wary of the silent methods Jiang Chen had just displayed, and also worrying that starting a fight here would attract Tang San's attention, Tang Chen would have already attacked Jiang Chen long ago.
"Go." He gave a low shout and his figure shot forward at high speed.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly. Still with his feet not touching the ground, he easily followed.
Tang Chen had already pushed his speed to the extreme, trying to shake Jiang Chen off.
But very soon, he was shocked.
Jiang Chen's figure drifted lightly, as if strolling in a courtyard, without expending the slightest effort, maintaining the same speed as him.
Jiang Chen's spirit power aura was completely restrained, making it impossible for Tang Chen to sense his cultivation.
But relying on this speed alone was enough to shake Tang Chen.
He clearly remembered that back when this Blood Demon was in Slaughter City, his cultivation had only been a little over rank forty.
Only ten years had passed. Could his cultivation already have caught up to his?
The two were extremely fast. Before long, they had again raced another ten li.
Competing in speed with Jiang Chen was Tang Chen's way of testing him. But now, this test should end.
The spirit power within Tang Chen's body began to surge, though no change could be seen on the surface.
A moment later, the strike Tang Chen had been preparing for a long time suddenly blasted toward Jiang Chen.
A blood-colored energy blade slashed toward Jiang Chen.
The ten-meter distance, for this energy blade, was as if it had teleported.
At the same time, intense red light abruptly erupted from Tang Chen's body, enveloping Jiang Chen.
His figure flashed, following behind that energy blade as he charged toward Jiang Chen. His two hands, with blood-red nails like claws, stabbed toward Jiang Chen.
