half year later.
Over the past six months, apart from the King of Slaughter and his messenger, Yun Yi and Hu Liena became untouchable figures in the entire Slaughter City. The house where Yun Yi lived also became their inviolable territory due to their constant killing.
Anyone in the inner city who attacks Hu Liena or even causes her to be injured will affect Hu Liena's competition.
Without exception, they would be hunted down to death by Yun Yi. Of course, Yun Yi's action also caused the two of them to be besieged and killed by a large number of Fallen for a long time, but none of them were successful. Now, no one is so blind as to dare to target Yun Yi and Hu Liena, let alone besiege and kill them.
The two of them took turns guarding and their efficiency in participating in the competition was extremely high. Excluding the days when they were surrounded, they only participated in 76 games, one game a day, which took more than two months. If they had reached this point alone, Yun Yi and Hu Liena would not have been able to achieve this result within half a year.
This is still Yun Yi trying his best to suppress the number of times he participates in competitions, once a day. In fact, most of the time the two of them did not suffer any damage, and they only needed to restore their soul power to participate in another game with ease. However, Yun Yi's goal was not just to enter the realm of the God of Killing. The disadvantage of quick-learning murderous aura was obvious, that is, even if you walk out of the City of Slaughter, you still need to spend time to improve your control ability. Compared with quick-learning, Yun Yi believes that control in battle is the most solid.
It is particularly important to comprehend something of your own in the process of controlling murderous aura. Even Tang San gradually developed the Killing God Domain in the later period, which took him more time.
Speaking of Tang San, Tang San also swung his sledgehammer vigorously in the past six months. Unfortunately, Yun Yi found through observation that Tang Hao did not teach Tang San the Nine Heavenly Absolutes. He just swung the same chaotic cloak every day, which made Yun Yi wonder if this was still his father. Yun Yi even thought that Tang Hao must have seen something from Tang San, otherwise there would be no reason not to teach him with such a good training opportunity.
However, Yun Yi soon felt relieved after thinking for a moment. After all, no matter how he looked at Tang San, it seemed that there was something wrong with him. As a Titled Douluo, there was no reason why Tang Hao could not see it. It was obvious that everything on Tang San had a complete system, including training the eyes, hands, body movements, controlling objects, and finally the various types of hidden weapons.
Even the most talented person cannot create something out of nothing. Although Tang San's skills are interrelated, creating skills also requires a process. Even a genius like Tang Hao himself cannot learn all the Nine Wonders of Clear Sky in an instant, let alone create them.
"The fire is almost ready. What are you thinking about? You are so engrossed." Hu Liena, who was standing by, handed the roasted skewers of meat to Yun Yi and said to him.
Under Yun Yi's guidance, Hu Liena now has no problem controlling her murderous aura. Instead, she has developed her own unique murderous aura. If Yun Yi were to describe it, her opponents would not feel extremely dangerous when they sense Hu Liena's murderous aura. Instead, it would be like spring rain that moistens everything without feeling cold.
The two of them did not drink the so-called Bloody Mary. It was not worth it to disgust themselves for such a small cultivation speed, not to mention that it was poisonous.
"Nothing, I just thought of our old friend Tang San. I think he can probably guess our true identities by now." Yun Yi chuckled.
"Nonsense, as the number of matches we play increases, those abilities will become impossible to hide." Hu Liena rolled her eyes at Yun Yi.
Yun Yi smiled and said, "That guy didn't come to cause trouble for us, so he must be waiting for an opportunity. Our turn is almost over. Whether he has discovered it or not, it's always better to be careful. If he wants to make a move, he will definitely attack us before we leave the Slaughter City."
"I don't think he dares. He has won far fewer games than us. Let's not talk about whether he can succeed or not. You and I are not strong enough for him to defeat us easily. If he hurts himself, he may not be able to walk out of the City of Slaughter alive." Hu Liena said to Yun Yi.
Yun Yi smiled and nodded, "You're right, but I actually hope he can come to me."
Hu Liena looked at Yun Yi with a puzzled look on her face, and Yun Yi continued, "He has a hundred thousand year old soul bone."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena showed a look of surprise on her face and exclaimed softly, "One hundred thousand years!"
“What’s so surprising about this? Tang Hao’s ninth ring is at the 100,000-year level. As one of the Haotian Twin Stars back then, would he be short of soul bones with this status? It’s normal for him to have been around for the past 100,000 years.” Yun Yi chuckled.
"You want to take this soul bone?" Hu Liena frowned slightly. Obviously, she also realized something. Tang Hao is absolutely untouchable to them now. If they are not careful, their lives will be in danger.
"This is a good opportunity." Yun Yi chuckled.
"No, this is too dangerous. If Tang Hao takes action, both your life and mine will be in danger." Hu Liena looked at Yun Yi with concern.
Yun Yi smiled and didn't say anything. He just raised his hand slightly and wrote and drew on the ground with his fingers.
"The King of Slaughter will not let you and me die in the City of Slaughter."
Hu Liena looked at the words on the ground with a look of sudden realization. Indeed, if anything happened to the two of them in the Slaughter City, with the strength of the Spirit Hall, they only needed to unilaterally block the Slaughter City. According to the rules of the Slaughter City, the King of Slaughter would be left alone in a few days.
Yun Yi smiled. In the original novel, if Tang San had not destroyed the City of Slaughter, the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King would never have risked Tang Chen getting out of control and chasing Tang San.
Now the Spirit Hall is constantly driving the evildoers into the City of Slaughter, but from another perspective it is also feeding the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King. This is why the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King allowed several people to become the God of Killing. Although he is powerful, he really doesn't dare to offend Tang Hao and Bibi Dong. Even if he can kill the two of them, he has to use Tang Chen's powerful strength. But in this way, Yun Yi estimates that Tang Chen will also have the possibility of waking up.
If Tang Chen had not been disturbed by Rakshasa's evil thoughts during the test, it would not have been able to control Tang Chen at all.
"I bet Tang Hao doesn't dare to enter the City of Slaughter. He has internal injuries, and it's already good enough that he can barely exert the seventh level of strength." Yun Yi chuckled and winked at Hu Liena.
Hu Liena wiped the writing on the ground with her foot, and immediately understood what was going on. With a sly look on her face, she said to Yun Yi, "So this is indeed a good opportunity."
The two smiled at each other, and Hu Liena whispered to Yun Yi coquettishly, "You are so bad." It was obvious that Yun Yi not only wanted to rely on the protection of the King of Slaughter to obtain the soul bone from Tang San, but also hoped that the King of Slaughter would attack Tang Hao who was injured. Although this only created a possibility, what if the King of Slaughter was really tempted?
In the past six months, Hu Liena has also gotten to know the King of Slaughter a little. Anyone who dares to break the rules will be punished by the King of Slaughter. Everyone in the City of Slaughter nominally accepts the protection of the King of Slaughter. If Tang Hao breaks the rules and attacks them, can the King of Slaughter still endure facing the injured Tang Hao?
"However, we also have to choose a good time, such as when we are about to leave the City of Slaughter, so that my sister will definitely send someone to pick us up." Yun Yi said with a smile.
"You must have been planning this for a long time and thought about it so carefully." Hu Liena rolled her eyes at Yun Yi.
"Of course, that is a hundred thousand year soul bone. Excluding the external soul bones, there are still six empty slots on my body." Yun Yi said with a smile.
"Okay, eat quickly, and then we can start the competition." Hu Liena said to Yun Yi.
Yun Yi nodded and started to chew the skewers, "Hmm... Not bad, about 80% of my level."
"Eating can't shut your mouth." Hu Liena glared at Yun Yi and said.
In order to help Hu Liena better control her murderous aura in such a killing environment, Yun Yi also needs to teach Hu Liena some skills to calm her mind, just like Tang Hao threw Tang San to Yuexuan to learn, to assist her in this.
Yun Yi learned a lot of things from the nobility in Tiandou City. Now Yun Yi is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He can master all kinds of skills as long as he finds it interesting and useful. What Yun Yi did not expect was that Hu Liena thought that Yun Yi's cooking was delicious and chose to learn how to cook. At that time, Yun Yi was still a little confused. With his own Hu Liena, there was no need for her to cook. However, Hu Liena told Yun Yi that she wanted to cook a meal for Bibi Dong herself.
This also made Yun Yi very touched. Apart from them, Yun Yi's only elder was old Jack. But Yun Yi understood that when he embarked on the road of soul master which was full of struggles, he'd better stay away from old Jack. It would be the best if he was scolded as having no conscience. The farther away, the safer old Jack would be. When Yun Yi continued to become stronger, he would inevitably harm the interests of others. When the opponent could not solve him, he would have to think of other ways to make him surrender. When the strong reach the top of the mountain, only strong people will be left around him.
Soon, after eating, Yun Yi and Hu Liena also arrived at the Hell Killing Field.
The nine people surrounded Yun Yi immediately after entering the venue. Feeling the murderous aura emanating from Yun Yi, all nine people trembled all over. Yun Yi's murderous aura was not cold, but had the momentum of dominating the world. They knew very clearly in their hearts that if they could not kill Yun Yi, their lives would have come to an end.
There was no coldness, no bloodthirstiness, no cruelty, and no sharpness in Yun Yi's calm eyes. There was only endless indifference. In his mind, these people were just NPCs, or even experience points. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to keep getting stronger. He had already begun to enjoy the trembling fear of these fallen people around him. This was the feeling of a strong man.
Then one of the nine people roared to give himself courage, and the others followed suit. The nine people roared and pounced on Yun Yi together, as if they wanted to tear Yun Yi to pieces in an instant.
Hu Liena was looking at Yun Yi in the viewing seats on the high platform, her heart was beating fast. She admired the strong, and Yun Yi's figure had long been firmly engraved in her heart. Murderous aura instantly swept the entire viewing seats. Although she knew very well in her heart that with Yun Yi's strength, these nine people would not be able to pose any threat to Yun Yi, but Yun Yi was the most important person in her life. Whenever she saw this kind of scene, her murderous aura would appear involuntarily for some reason. Her heart had long been tied to Yun Yi.
Hu Liena also felt that she was affected by the environment and sighed secretly. Her control over her murderous aura was obviously not perfect enough. When she encountered something she cared about, it would be easy for her murderous aura to get out of control.
Looking at Yun Yi's figure constantly moving around the field, everyone looked at Yun Yi with fear in their eyes. To be able to be Yun Yi's opponent, they were also the best in the City of Slaughter and had long been fearless of life and death. However, in their eyes, Yun Yi's figure seemed more terrifying than death.
The blue-haired man not far from Hu Liena glanced at Hu Liena, his gaze falling on the field, his eyes full of solemnity. The strength, speed, and skills were all perfect, and the battle was as pleasing to the eye as art. However, Tang San did not have the slightest intention of appreciating it at this moment, because in Tang San's heart, there was only one person who gave him such a feeling, and that was Yun Yi. Now Yun Yi was obviously in collusion with the Spirit Hall.
Tang San looked at the figure in the field and clenched his fist tightly with his left hand, but subconsciously touched his right leg with his right hand, and secretly said in his heart, "Mom..."
Yun Yi's figure kept moving around the field, and suddenly there was the sound of flesh falling to the ground. The place where each corpse was lying was slightly collapsed. They were killed by one punch, but there was no heavy bleeding. Everything was just right, but every dead person's face was filled with fear and mental breakdown.
Amid the cheers of the Fallen, Yun Yi slowly walked out of the Hell Killing Field. Glancing at the place where Tang San had just watched the game, Yun Yi shook his head regretfully. It was obvious that Tang San, as Hu Liena said, did not dare to act rashly in this killing city.
"It seems that I have to try to hunt down this kid before leaving." Yun Yi said secretly in his heart. Tang San is indeed a shrewd killer. He will not take action unless the situation is impossible.
Then Yun Yi slowly came to the viewing stand to watch Hu Liena's game.
Soon, as Hu Liena pulled her dagger out from the body of the last opponent, this was the 77th match between Hu Liena and Yun Yi. Yun Yi was watching in the stands and couldn't help but slowly curled the corners of his mouth. Nine blood-red rays of light were injected into Hu Liena's body, and the murderous aura that was almost tangible formed a huge vortex around her body. After a while, the murderous aura was restrained as if it had never appeared.
Hu Liena slowly walked out of the arena. The Fallen outside the arena looked at Hu Liena, a harmless little girl, with evasive eyes, fearing that they would be targeted by Hu Liena. Hu Liena's murderous aura was very subtle, even exactly the same as that of many novices, but they knew clearly that the murderous aura on Hu Liena was an illusion. Although this subtle murderous aura did not make people feel dangerous, if a battle broke out, it would be like a continuous drizzle that would wash away their spirits.
Seeing Yun Yi, Hu Liena rushed into Yun Yi's arms, showing off her success like a child, and asked excitedly, "Xiao Yi, how is it?"
"Yes, now you have controlled it very well in a highly concentrated state like fighting, but you also need to restrain yourself outside of fighting." Yun Yi chuckled at Hu Liena and gently stroked Hu Liena's short golden hair.
"I was worried about you just now." Hu Liena whispered embarrassedly.
"Let's go. Now you have almost mastered the control over the murderous aura. Let's speed up the progress of the competition in the next few days. Before leaving, pay close attention to the movements of that kid. Take his soul bone while he is still there. What if that kid realizes that we have feelings for him? He will go to the outer city and use the rules of the City of Slaughter to restrict us, and we won't be able to do anything to him." Yun Yi whispered to Hu Liena.
"Well, that guy was looking at you many times just now. He was also watching me when I was playing. That guy must have some bad intentions towards us." Hu Liena said.
"He thinks we can't recognize him and wants to learn from us how to control murderous aura. I just don't know how much this kid can learn." Yun Yi chuckled.
