"Hehe, I've been guarding against you old thing for a long time." Jiang Chen chuckled lightly and leapt up before the crimson energy blade arrived.
He dodged the bloody energy blade, but the Slaughter King's attack was already upon him.
The moment the red light erupting from the Slaughter King's body enveloped Jiang Chen, he felt a bone-chilling cold, as if his blood was about to freeze.
This red light was the Slaughter King's domain, filled with vast killing intent.
Although Jiang Chen had killed quite a few people, he still fell far short compared to the Slaughter King.
Tang Chen had absorbed decades of killing intent inside the City of Slaughter; the killing intent within his domain had already reached an extremely terrifying level.
With a thought, Jiang Chen released his own God of Slaughter Domain. A circle of white radiance spread from his body before finally turning transparent.
The instant the God of Slaughter Domain was released, Jiang Chen was no longer affected by Tang Chen's killing intent, and his Martial Soul possession was completed in an instant.
A look of extreme cruelty and ferocity appeared on Tang Chen's face as his blood-colored claws stabbed straight toward Jiang Chen's chest, as if wanting to dig out his heart.
Jiang Chen clenched his fingers into a fist. Terrifying power gathered on his fist as he smashed it toward Tang Chen's claws.
Tang Chen's attack had been brewing for a long time, and so had Jiang Chen's. The power inside his body had already been quietly mobilized.
In that lightning-fast moment, Tang Chen saw eight deep-red spirit rings suddenly appear on Jiang Chen's body, and his heart was shocked.
But what slightly reassured him was that Jiang Chen had not yet reached the level of a Title Douluo.
"A mere Soul Douluo dares to challenge me?" The blood light in Tang Chen's eyes grew even stronger. A terrifying aura coiled around his claws as they shot toward Jiang Chen's fist at an even greater speed.
The difference in spirit power levels was far too great. He was confident he could crush Jiang Chen's fist into pieces with a single claw.
One of them glared with fierce light in his eyes, while the other had the corner of his mouth curled up.
With a loud bang, the red light flared intensely for a moment, and an energy storm erupted from the point where the two clashed.
The five blood-colored nails on Tang Chen's right hand shattered instantly. A terrifying force transmitted from Jiang Chen's fist, attempting to shatter Tang Chen's finger bones.
In shock, Tang Chen's spirit power surged and dispersed the force that had flooded into his arm.
But his body had already been blasted flying by this enormous power.
Boom, boom, boom! Tang Chen's body successively smashed through three large trees before shooting into a small earthen slope.
Jiang Chen only took a few steps back.
He smiled. This result had long been within his expectations.
His strength and defense were no weaker than those of the fierce beast Qiongqi. Although Tang Chen was formidable and his physical strength was extremely powerful, he still fell short compared to Qiongqi.
Tang Chen had dared to clash claws against Jiang Chen's fist; it was already fortunate that his fingers had not broken.
Jiang Chen frowned and stepped toward Tang Chen's direction.
He discovered that his God of Slaughter Domain was under great suppression from Tang Chen's red light.
The originally formless and colorless God of Slaughter Domain had been forced back to within two meters of his body, forming a white barrier.
With a thought, he activated his Martial Soul True Body and his first spirit ability.
Both of these spirit abilities comprehensively enhanced his strength and belonged to the supportive type.
Just then, Jiang Chen sensed something and abruptly stopped his steps.
With a bang, the small earthen slope exploded, and Tang Chen's figure charged out.
"Good one, Blood Demon. You actually managed to make me suffer a loss."
Tang Chen roared furiously. Both of his hands slowly rose, and circle after circle of blood-colored radiance rippled out from his body.
The surroundings had already turned into a world of blood red.
This blood-colored radiance was filled with a corrosive aura. The surrounding vegetation yellowed and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Slaughter King himself also underwent great changes.
The strange blood patterns on his skin increased dramatically, nearly covering his entire body.
On his forehead, there was even a sword-shaped demonic pattern.
Behind him, a pair of enormous blood-red wings tore through flesh and emerged.
These blood-colored wings appeared extremely hard in texture, and blood still dripped from them, looking extremely gory.
"Jie jie… Being able to force me into my strongest state, Blood Demon, you can die proudly."
Tang Chen's current aura was several times stronger than before. Within that bloody and brutal aura was an additional evil presence that even made Jiang Chen's heart tremble.
Under the intense blood-colored radiance emanating from Tang Chen, Jiang Chen's God of Slaughter Domain was suppressed once more, covering only a one-meter range around his body.
Tang Chen cackled strangely and said, "How does my Slaughter Domain taste? Compared to your God of Slaughter Domain, my Slaughter Domain is the strongest domain within the City of Slaughter. It possesses the same magic-sealing effect as the City of Slaughter itself. The Slaughter Domain is the most domineering in this world."
Jiang Chen showed not the slightest fear. He crooked his mouth and smiled. "Your Slaughter Domain is indeed terrifying. It has suppressed a portion of my strength even under the God of Slaughter Domain. But I don't have only one God of Slaughter Domain."
As his words fell, an extremely evil and bloodthirsty aura erupted from Jiang Chen's body.
The Zombie Domain was released and stacked together with the God of Slaughter Domain, instead surpassing Tang Chen's Slaughter Domain.
The blood-colored radiance that had filled the surroundings immediately contracted back around Tang Chen.
The two domains collided fiercely, continuous explosions ringing out in the surrounding void.
"Bring out your strongest strength, or you won't have any chance of victory." Jiang Chen laughed loudly and charged toward Tang Chen.
He swung his lightning fists, like a true dragon, his entire body containing terrifying power.
Tang Chen's face finally changed color. This Blood Demon clearly only had the cultivation of a Soul Douluo, yet his strength was terrifyingly powerful.
That earlier punch had almost smashed his fingers to pieces. That terrifying power was already no less than a strike from a Peerless Douluo.
Now, the aura Jiang Chen displayed was even stronger, making Tang Chen feel a strong sense of crisis.
What kind of Soul Douluo could be this strong? Even he, a ninety-ninth ranked Peerless Douluo, was being suppressed.
The two fought fiercely. The surrounding trees and earth were continuously blasted apart by the terrifying energy fluctuations, leaving the battlefield in complete ruins.
The Slaughter King Tang Chen was actually being firmly suppressed by Jiang Chen. The attacks that landed on Jiang Chen caused limited damage.
Meanwhile, every one of Jiang Chen's strikes made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and not light injuries had already appeared inside his body.
After another intense collision, Tang Chen used Jiang Chen's force to rapidly flee.
They had already fought for several minutes. The commotion here had likely already attracted the attention of the Asura God.
This Blood Demon was far too difficult to deal with, as if he could not be killed, his body was terrifyingly tough.
Therefore, he could only escape.
At this moment, in his strongest state, his speed was much faster than before. His two enormous blood-red wings flapped as he flashed through the forest.
A pair of wings also appeared on Jiang Chen's body, flashing with lightning.
His wings vibrated, and combined with the profound meaning of the Three Thousand Thunder Movement footwork, his speed was even a few points faster than Tang Chen's.
He stuffed a few pills into his mouth and said, "Slaughter King, you can't escape. You might as well bring out your strongest strength."
Jiang Chen's second trial had two requirements: one was to defeat Tang Chen, and the other was to seize the Asura Sword.
Throughout the battle until now, Jiang Chen had been continuously suppressing Tang Chen precisely in the hope that the other party would bring out the Asura Sword.
He had not used his deadly poison, worried that if Tang Chen was poisoned, he would not have the chance to draw his sword.
"It seems that if I don't push him into a desperate situation, he won't use his final trump card." Jiang Chen thought to himself.
...
At the same time, Tang San and the others finally charged out of the City of Slaughter.
"Little San, where is Jiang Chen?" Dai Mubai asked with red eyes.
He scanned the area but did not see Jiang Chen's figure.
The Sea God's voice sounded in Tang San's mind in time: "Jiang Chen is in the direction ahead of you. He is currently fighting a great battle with Tang Chen."
Tang San pointed forward. "Jiang Chen is over there, fighting with that Slaughter King."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go kill him right away." Ning Rongrong's pretty face was filled with killing intent. As an auxiliary-type Spirit Master, her aura at this moment was actually extremely imposing.
"Let's go." Tang San waved his hand.
Just as they lifted their feet, the earth exploded in countless places within the small town, and large numbers of fallen ones charged out from below.
"Haha, Douluo Continent, this daddy is back again!"
"What fresh air!"
"Women, this daddy wants women, wants countless women…"
Like hell itself had been opened, more than ten thousand fallen ones carrying evil auras returned to the Douluo Continent.
These people had originally been extremely vicious. After living in the City of Slaughter for many years, they had become even more evil and brutal, and could no longer be called human.
These fellows returning to the Douluo Continent would absolutely set off a disaster.
"Little San, what do we do?" Oscar asked, feeling a bit soft-hearted.
Because these fallen ones had only just appeared, the people who had originally been in the small town had already met with disaster.
The men were cruelly slaughtered, limbs flying everywhere.
The women let out miserable and terrified screams as they endured painful torment.
Tang San closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them. "We can't save everyone. Moreover, there were originally no good people in this small town. This is what they deserve.
"With so many fallen ones scattered throughout the small town, it's impossible for us to kill them all. Right now the most important thing is still Jiang Chen. He concerns our assessment and concerns our great enmity."
After speaking, his steps firmly headed forward.
Dai Mubai and the others' faces revealed fierce expressions as they closely followed Tang San, forcing themselves not to look at that bloody and cruel scene.
In their hearts, a scene involuntarily appeared: one peaceful village and city after another turning into human hells under the devastation of these fallen ones.
Their footsteps gradually quickened. No one spoke, and no one was willing to mention the tragedy that was about to occur.
Nine spirit rings surrounded their bodies. Although those fallen ones were fierce, they all avoided them in terror.
Soon, they arrived at the place where Jiang Chen and Tang Chen had first fought.
Looking at the devastated scene around them, Tang San's expression grew solemn.
"Jiang Chen being able to fight the Slaughter King to this extent means his strength cannot be underestimated. We can deal with one of them, but if the two join forces, we may not have a chance of winning." He calmly analyzed.
"Then what do you mean?" Dai Mubai asked.
"Hide in the dark. When the snipe and the clam fight, we will take the fisherman's profit."
Purple light flashed in his eyes as he activated the Purple Demon Eye, and he immediately saw Jiang Chen and Tang Chen chasing each other in the distance.
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply, and shock filled his heart. This speed…
...
Before long, Jiang Chen intercepted Tang Chen.
The two stopped once more. Jiang Chen blocked Tang Chen's path of retreat.
Tang Chen's gaze locked tightly onto Jiang Chen. "Blood Demon, I originally did not want to kill you. You are seeking death!"
Jiang Chen stood in front of him and said indifferently, "Bring out your strongest strength and fight me."
"Since you want to seek death, then I will grant your wish." Tang Chen's voice was ice-cold and piercing.
Before his words had even finished, his body had already begun to change.
The blood-colored sword-shaped demonic pattern on his forehead seemed to come alive. Red light flowed across it and gradually grew stronger.
A layer of radiance permeated his body. His pale face gradually flushed with an unhealthy reddish color.
With a bang, that pair of enormous blood-colored wings shattered, transforming into a stream of energy that returned to his body.
His red hair rapidly changed back to black, and his red eyes also returned to normal. From head to toe, only the sword-shaped demonic pattern on his forehead still retained its red color.
The evil blood color on Tang Chen's body faded, but Jiang Chen clearly felt that the aura blooming from Tang Chen was rising at a geometric rate, as if there was no upper limit.
Jiang Chen spread out his spiritual power and discovered that the dense red light on Tang Chen's body no longer contained any evil aura. It had become the purest killing intent, the purest killing intent.
Tang Chen's continuously rising aura still had not stopped. Jiang Chen gradually felt a sense of crisis.
But he did not go to stop him, because he knew the Asura Sword was about to appear.
When the Asura Sword appeared, that would be the moment he went all out, defeated Tang Chen, and seized the Asura Sword.
Tang Chen's soaring aura finally reached a peak. His eyes suddenly lit up.
Those eyes were extremely deep. The evil aura on his body was completely swept away, and he actually revealed a sense of righteous and vast presence.
His long black hair moved without wind, and his entire person was as steady and heavy as a mountain.
Red light surged on his broad palms. At this moment, the aura that Tang Chen bloomed with had already become powerful to an indescribable degree.
Among the experts Jiang Chen had seen, whether it was Qian Daoliu or Qiongqi, none could compare to Tang Chen at this moment.
Jiang Chen's smile had disappeared at some unknown point, and his expression had become extremely solemn.
He felt pressure, the same kind of pressure he felt when facing a heavenly tribulation.
The red light in Tang Chen's palms grew dense to a certain degree, then condensed into the shape of a hammer.
It was an incomparably enormous red hammer, shining with magnificent demonic patterns.
"Clear Sky Hammer," Jiang Chen murmured.
In the previous battle, Tang Chen had never used the Clear Sky Hammer, as if he had completely forgotten his own Martial Soul.
After the red giant hammer appeared, it quickly underwent another change.
Red light surged, and the giant hammer melted, reforming into a blood-colored giant sword more than two meters long.
"Blood Demon, being able to die under the Asura Sword is your glory."
There was no longer any cold and sinister aura on Tang Chen's body. Holding the blood-colored giant sword that was more than two meters long high with both hands, he took a single step and already arrived in front of Jiang Chen, slashing the sword toward him.
Jiang Chen's eighth spirit ring and third spirit ring lit up simultaneously. A giant stone coffin more than two and a half meters long appeared in his hands.
His body vanished and reappeared behind Tang Chen. That stone coffin weighing tens of thousands of jin, under Jiang Chen's terrifying strength, carried a destructive aura as it smashed furiously toward the back of Tang Chen's head.
Since the Asura Sword had already appeared, he would no longer hold back. He would finish the battle quickly, complete the second trial, and then deal with Tang San and the others.
He did not use Qiongqi or several combat puppets, because those were his trump cards. He had to guard against the gods who were secretly watching and keep them to deal with Tang San and the others later.
Tang Chen's sword missed. His reaction was extremely fast. His body spun as if by conditioned reflex to face Jiang Chen.
Borrowing the force of the spin, the two-meter-long giant sword swept up from the ground with the momentum of splitting the heavens, meeting the giant stone coffin that was smashing toward him.
Jiang Chen did not dare to directly receive the Asura Sword with his fist, which was why he used his eighth spirit ability.
This stone coffin possessed super-strong defense and was terrifyingly hard. Combined with its astonishing weight, his terrifying strength was perfectly released through the stone coffin.
Wherever the blood-red giant sword passed, space split open with a pitch-black crack.
Jiang Chen's stone coffin domineeringly compressed the air until it exploded, its might even more astonishing.
The giant sword and the stone coffin collided, and the enormous energy that erupted impacted outward like collapsing mountains and overturning seas.
The surrounding rocks and trees were instantly reduced to powder under this energy fluctuation.
Within a diameter of four hundred meters, all earth, rocks, and trees completely disappeared.
A deep pit with a diameter of two hundred meters appeared on the ground, its depth actually reaching a hundred meters.
Tang Chen's upper clothing exploded, revealing his solid muscles. Supporting himself with the sword, he knelt on one knee at the bottom of the hundred-meter-deep pit.
A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, he had suffered internal injuries in that earlier strike.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was holding the giant coffin and had been blasted a hundred meters into the air by that sword. He barely managed to stabilize his form.
He was also not feeling well. Although the stone coffin in his hands had not shattered, the terrifying sword qi emitted by the Asura Sword had poured onto his body, cutting out one bloody wound after another.
These wounds were deep enough to see bone, and within the wounds was an extremely troublesome killing intent that hindered the recovery of his fleshly body.
"Kid, finish this quickly. You've already been targeted by Tang San." The Asura God could not hold back any longer and reminded Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen casually glanced in the direction where Tang San and the others were.
He had long discovered that Tang San and the others were following in secret. The other party had not appeared immediately, clearly planning to pick up an easy bargain.
That earlier clash between him and Tang Chen had probably already frightened these young geniuses.
