Chapter 116:Transition to the Killing Capital.
Rewinding time, three years ago, also the third year after the Blue Lightning Sect's Grand Ceremony.
In the valley behind the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, lightning crackled wildly in the air, and amidst the swirling electric light, a domineering aura faintly emanated.
Deep within the valley, a handsome and upright figure sat on the altar, his long black hair held up by a single silver strand, making him appear even more refined.
Dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, he sat cross-legged, and beside him was an elderly man with gray hair.
The two were none other than Yu Xiaolie, who had shone brightly at the sect's succession ceremony three years ago, and Yu Zhentian, the previous sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
For the past three years, Yu Xiaolie had cultivated in Thunder Valley every day with his great-grandfather.
His physique hadn't changed much, and his temperament remained as refined as ever, but he had grown taller, and his soul power had reached level 69, just one step away from becoming a Soul Saint.
Such a cultivation speed is simply unbelievable among his peers.
"Xiao Lie, your soul power has increased so fast!"
Second Grandfather Yu Yuanhai stood to the side, his eyes fixed on Yu Xiao Lie, his expression full of satisfaction.
Yu Xiao Lie smiled slightly and said, "Second Grandfather, it's all thanks to your help. Hunting a 60,000-year-old Thunder Tyrannosaurus as my sixth soul ring allowed my soul power to increase so quickly." Yu Yuanhai smiled slightly
In the past three years, he had also broken through to the Title Douluo level, and his soul power had reached level 92.
He was grateful to Yu Xiao Lie for the Breakthrough Pill he had given him.
Of course, there were two other things that made him even happier:
First, Yu Zhentian had also broken through to the peak Douluo level, and his soul power had reached level 96!
Second, after absorbing his sixth soul ring, Yu Xiao Lie awakened the Thunder Sacred Dragon with the thunder attribute!
After all, as a mutant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, awakening the thunder attribute was naturally much easier than awakening the Ice Sacred Dragon, Black Nether Sacred Dragon, and Earth Sacred Dragon.
Coupled with the abundant lightning energy in Thunder Valley, its uniquely simulated environment, and the guidance of two Title Douluo, Yu Xiaolie has become an outstanding Thunder Soul Master.
Yu Xiaolie glanced at the valley and suddenly said,
"Grandpa, Second Grandpa, I think I should go out."
Hearing this, Yu Zhentian frowned and asked with some worry,
"Where are you going?"
"To the City of Slaughter!" Yu Xiaolie said calmly.
"The City of Slaughter? That's not a place for you to fool around in. What are you going there for?" Second Grandpa asked anxiously.
"Before I came back, I wanted to go in and explore. Maybe I can find something that will help my cultivation," Yu Xiaolie said calmly.
Yu Zhentian and Second Grandpa exchanged a glance.
Both elders knew that their grandson was a rare genius, the future of the sect.
Naturally, they didn't want anything to go wrong.
"Xiao Lie, the Killing City is a gathering place for criminals and the fallen. Historically, almost no one who goes in has ever come out. You…"
Yu Xiao Lie didn't speak, only looking calmly at his two elders, his eyes revealing determination.
Seeing this, the two elders knew that further words were useless. With Yu Xiao Lie's temperament, once he made up his mind, it was difficult to change it.
Yu Zhentian could only sigh helplessly and said, "Since you've decided, then we'll escort you there together."
Yu Xiao Lie nodded. There was nothing to pack, and the three of them headed straight out of the valley.
…
Seven days later.
Yu Xiao Lie and his two elders arrived at the Killing Town.
The town was dilapidated, like a skeleton gnawed by wild beasts. On the crooked wooden houses hung many dried animal bones and cold, white skeletons.
A dark, blackened stain of crimson seeped from the cracks in the stone slabs, but there was a broken pipe leading directly to a small house engraved with the words "Black Tavern."
Several ragged people were squatting by the roadside, eating from wooden bowls. One of them suddenly looked up and caught sight of Yu Xiaolie and his companions, his murky eyes immediately fixed on them.
Yu Zhentian snorted coldly, and the pressure of a peak Douluo swept over them like a giant wave, causing the group to immediately shrink back into the shadows, trembling.
Yu Xiaolie entered the Black Tavern, and immediately, a stench of decay mixed with the smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.
The air inside the tavern was extremely murky; although it was still daytime, the tavern's darkness was evident at this moment.
Behind a dilapidated bar, a one-eyed man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "You know the rules, right? One Bloody Mary, and you get in with your life."
As he spoke, he pushed over a wooden cup; the viscous liquid inside was dark red, like congealed blood.
Yu Zhentian frowned, then with a sudden flick of his sleeve, the cup shattered into pieces with a "crack."
"My grandson won't drink this filthy stuff."
The one-eyed man's expression changed drastically, grabbing a machete from under the table. "Old man, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, his second grandfather flicked his finger, and a bolt of lightning struck at his feet, blasting a half-meter-deep crater in the ground.
The spirit rings of the two Title Douluos lit up simultaneously, their nine spirit rings flashing with a mixture of yellow, purple, and black light.
The tavern fell silent instantly.
The one-eyed man collapsed to the ground, his crotch soaked.
"Title...Title Douluos..."
The other customers crawled backward, as if they had seen the King of Hell.
They couldn't understand what kind of background this unusually young man had that had two Title Douluos send him to this godforsaken place.
"Open...open the door! I'll open it now!"
The one-eyed man cried out as he lunged towards the corner, trembling as he unscrewed a hidden door.
A deep staircase descended, and faint screams echoed from the darkness.
Yu Xiaolie glanced at the entrance, then turned to the two elders and nodded, saying, "I'll take you this far."
The second grandfather wanted to say something, but Yu Zhentian pressed down on his shoulder, saying in a deep voice, "We'll wait for you at the sect."
...
Walking down the staircase, Yu Xiaolie was enveloped in darkness. Deep within, he felt gusts of cold wind blowing outwards.
His vision was limited, visibility extremely low.
Yu Xiaolie only knew that he was walking through a long corridor, the chilling aura constantly brushing against his body.
He didn't know how long he had walked when a cold voice rang out.
"Welcome to the City of Slaughter. This is the capital of hell, a world filled with slaughter. Here, you can obtain everything you desire, the price being your life."
Yu Xiaolie's expression hardened slightly, but his steps did not falter.
Finally, a bright light gradually became clear, and even the steps in the passageway became distinct.
Just as he was about to step out, a commotion arose before him. Upon exiting, he saw one hundred and one people standing in a line.
They were all clad in black armor, armed from head to toe, with not a single inch of skin exposed.
Among them, a tall figure rode atop a warhorse, even the horse itself armed.
"You have broken the rules."
The deep voice was extremely cold, almost inhuman.
"So what if I broke the rules?"
Yu Xiaolie retorted in an equally cold voice, but with far greater anger.
"You must accept punishment, which is to defeat me. Only then can you gain the right to enter the City of Slaughter."
Yu Xiaolie sneered, "Then come."
