144: Chapter 144 The Eight Desolations Unite, Su Ling Saves Hu Liena

Upon entering the Hell Slaughter Arena, Xu Gang thought to himself that today's victory was secure. Over the past few days, he had successfully absorbed the Spirit Bone, and he was only three days away from fulfilling the requirement of one match per year in the inner city.

Therefore, he had to secure a victory in the Hell Slaughter Arena within these three days. His calculations for today were precise; the eight people ahead were no match for him.

Furthermore, the two people he feared had just come out of the Hell Slaughter Arena, making this the best opportunity in the last three days.

When he entered, the few people ahead all wore difficult expressions, while he simply smiled without saying a word.

Yet, just as he was feeling proud of his calculations, someone arrived in the preparation passage.

However, when he saw the figure clearly, his brows furrowed slightly.

Isn't this the man who was with the woman who exchanged the Spirit Bone with him?

As Su Ling approached, Xu Gang asked, "Didn't you just come out of the Hell Slaughter Arena?"

"Didn't I just go out to register?" Su Ling responded with a smile.

"You knew I had already registered. It seems you are very confident. Are you trying to take back that Spirit Bone? What a well-calculated Move." Xu Gang couldn't help but think this way.

Everyone knew how valuable a Spirit Bone was in Slaughter City; even a Spirit Bone of slightly lower quality could cause people to fight until they were battered and bloody.

Su Ling said, "Think whatever you want, but I'm here."

"Ten people from the preparation area, enter the arena!"

Xu Gang wanted to say something else, but the staff had already let them enter the arena.

"Hmph, you will definitely regret this." After saying that, Xu Gang jumped down directly.

The ten people entered the arena one by one; no one dared to run away at this moment, as there were members of the Enforcement Team waiting here.

The members of the Enforcement Team were all at the Spirit Douluo level. Trying to avoid the fight at this point would also be a dead end, so it was better to go into the arena and have at least a sliver of a chance to survive.

Walking onto the arena, Su Ling said, "Everyone, this Xu Gang has twenty-six consecutive wins and has a Spirit Bone on him. His Soul Power is also at the Spirit Saint level. Let's kill him first, then we can rely on our own abilities for the final outcome."

Xu Gang immediately cursed loudly.

"A bunch of idiots, don't be fooled by him!"

"You... I will definitely kill you first." Xu Gang released his Spirit, which turned out to be a Mountain-Splitting Bull, and his powerful Aura was very intimidating.

As for Su Ling, he did not release his Spirit, keeping his Aura hidden within, forming a stark contrast with Xu Gang.

The other eight people were not stupid. One looked like a hot-headed youth who had recently won some matches, but every match had lasted a long time.

He relied entirely on strange movements to dodge attacks repeatedly; everyone already knew how to make their choice.

"Kill Xu Gang first!"

"That's right!"

"The countdown has ended, let the slaughter begin!"

"Do it!"

A burly man with a mace Spirit immediately leaped high, then grabbed the mace with both hands and smashed it toward Xu Gang.

The others also approached Xu Gang at the same time.

However, Su Ling still relied on his movement technique, blending in among these people.

"You all deserve to die!"

At this moment, Xu Gang no longer dared to hold back too much, and his Mountain-Splitting Bull Spirit possession granted him immense strength.

Seeing the mace fall, Xu Gang dodged to the side, his speed also very fast, and then another fist came flying over.

The opponent also had a Beast Spirit, and Xu Gang swung his fist in retaliation.

With a boom, the gap between the two sides was enormous.

With just one strike, the person flew out, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard.

"You all forced me to do this."

Xu Gang took a bag directly from his spirit tool, swung it into the air, and then used his Soul Power to burst the bag open. The powder and dust spilled from the thrown bag spread rapidly.

"What is this?"

"Quick, cover your nose and mouth!"

A pungent smell arrived, and as the dust fell, the Spirit Masters on the Slaughter Arena could not dodge it at all.

"It's so itchy!"

"My eyes!"

This powder seemed to be a mixture of several types of poison, each with different effects, affecting people's skin, eyes, and even causing paralysis of the nerves and hallucinations.

"A bunch of damn trash!"

The next instant, Xu Gang made his Move, taking out a long blade and killing frantically.

In the Hell Slaughter Arena of Slaughter City, aside from the suppression that prevented the use of Spirit Abilities brought by Slaughter City, the only rule in the arena was to use every possible method to kill the opponent and survive.

Poison, Hidden Weapons, and all kinds of weapons and tactics were available.

It's just that these people didn't expect that an expert like Xu Gang would use such a Move.

Su Ling was naturally not afraid of these poisons. Xu Gang's several attacks were all dodged by Su Ling. A frustrated Xu Gang could only kill the other few Spirit Masters around him at the fastest speed.

Before long, only Su Ling and Xu Gang were left in the arena.

"As expected of an expert with twenty-six consecutive wins, your Soul Power should have reached level 80 long ago, right?" Su Ling clapped his hands and said.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that one cannot obtain a spirit ring in Slaughter City, I would have become a Spirit Douluo long ago," Xu Gang said.

At this moment, on the spectator stand, Hu Liena finally understood why Liu Erlong had said that.

This Xu Gang was indeed an expert, with level 80 Soul Power and a Spirit Bone on him.

Twenty-six consecutive wins meant he had rich combat experience. If she had registered, could she defeat this burly man before her?

What if she joined forces with the other eight people?

But the battle on the arena just now had explained everything; with the help of the poison powder, those eight people were simply vulnerable.

Moreover, if she had gone up, she might have been poisoned too.

Her Soul Power was only at level 61!

"Ding... Hu Liena Favorability +2, obtained Yellow Treasure Chest *1"

Su Ling heard the System's sound and knew that the opportunity to farm favorability had arrived.

He had to take it slow with this Xu Gang and let him show his skills.

At this time, Xu Gang also dropped the long blade in his hand and charged directly at Su Ling.

Su Ling also unhurriedly met him.

Although he was still using the Eight Desolations Fist, Su Ling restrained his strength. After all, this was practicing his fist technique; although the first eight Moves had been mastered and integrated.

But Eight Wasteland Unity ultimately had to be realized by himself.

The two traded blows, and Su Ling had a clear understanding of Xu Gang's abilities. Don't look at the fact that his Soul Power was only level 80 and he lacked an eighth spirit ring; his strength was already not inferior to an ordinary Spirit Douluo.

In terms of combat technique, it was even slightly better than Su Ling's.

As expected of someone with twenty-six consecutive wins, forged through life-and-death trials.

As for Su Ling, his experience in life-and-death battles seemed not to be that much.

The more Hu Liena watched, the more shocked she became. If she were to face this Xu Gang, could she still win?

In the blink of an eye, the battle had lasted for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

Xu Gang's stamina began to falter, while Su Ling was fighting while restraining his power, so his stamina consumption was not high, and even the consumed Soul Power could be replenished in time.

"Damn it!"

Xu Gang had a Spirit Bone on his right arm, which Liu Erlong had traded to him earlier.

However, he did not use it, but instead used another Spirit Bone while charging at Su Ling.

The skill was activated. His left leg stomped on the ground, and an energy circle spread. Su Ling immediately felt his body being suppressed.

This was a gravity suppression-type Spirit Bone skill, and it could even give people a sense of dizziness.

Subsequently, Xu Gang used the right arm Spirit Bone skill again to strike at Su Ling.

"My Spirit Bone skill attack doesn't have an advantage, but luckily you traded this Spirit Bone to me, allowing me to use these two Spirit Bone skills in coordination."

Xu Gang activated his skills. The quality of this Spirit Bone was average, but it was relatively compatible with him, and the unleashed Spirit Bone skill was comparable to an ordinary ten-thousand-year Spirit Ability.

With these two Spirit Bone skills, if he continued to operate well in Slaughter City, he might really be able to achieve one hundred victories within a few years.

Unfortunately, he met Su Ling today!

Facing Xu Gang's Spirit Bone skill attack, Su Ling's body moved, and he unleashed the eighth punch of the Eight Desolations Fist with full power.

Just like Liu Erlong that day, the Eight Desolations Fist directly broke Xu Gang's Spirit Ability.

And at the moment of striking, Su Ling seemed to have a flash of inspiration.

Eight Wasteland Unity!

This reminded Su Ling of a movie he had watched in his previous life: a Beggar Sect leader only knew the first seventeen Moves of the Dragon-Subduing Eighteen Palms, but by mastering the first seventeen Moves, he realized the eighteenth Move and killed a villain also named Zhao Wuji.

The Eight Desolations Fist was the same. Recently, he had used the Eight Desolations Fist quite a lot, and coupled with the fact that he had already achieved Major Achievement in the Eight Desolations Fist, at this moment, Su Ling understood.

After this punch was thrown, Su Ling deliberately deviated slightly, which counted as sparing Xu Gang.

Subsequently, Su Ling stood in place, motionless.

"Sister Liu, what's wrong with Su Ling?" Hu Liena asked, looking curious.

"I'm not sure either!" Liu Erlong said.

Hu Liena hesitated in her heart. Should she remind Su Ling? But there was also a voice in her heart that kept wanting Su Ling to die, to eliminate the major threat to Spirit Hall.

Seeing that Liu Erlong hadn't spoken, why should she say so much?

However, Xu Gang seemed to have seized this opportunity, picking up the long blade he had used to kill the other eight people, the long blade stained with blood.

"Oh no, Su Ling..." Hu Liena felt some nervousness in her heart.

Just at this moment, Su Ling raised his head and looked at Xu Gang, who was swinging the great blade. Su Ling whispered, "Eight Wasteland Unity!"

Su Ling threw a punch. His fist was covered in Soul Power. On his body, it seemed as if all the Moves from the first, second, to the eighth punch of the Eight Desolations Fist appeared, and the phantom images merged into one punch and were unleashed.

"This is? A self-created Spirit Ability!" The instant after Xu Gang reacted, Su Ling's fist struck the long blade.

The long blade couldn't suppress this attack at all and shattered directly. Su Ling's fist finally landed on Xu Gang's body.

"Ah..."

Xu Gang's body flew out. Because Su Ling's strike was too powerful, Xu Gang's flying body was almost deformed, and a blood hole burst open on his body.

Flying to the edge of the Slaughter Arena, Xu Gang landed, dead as could be.

With this, only Su Ling was left on the arena.

That punch just now was simply too terrifying; Hu Liena was stunned watching it.

This punch, even a Titled Douluo might not be able to withstand it.

Liu Erlong thought to herself: Su Ling, you finally did it. The power of Eight Wasteland Unity when unleashed is at least that of a Titled Douluo's ninth Spirit Ability, perhaps even stronger.

At this moment, she had only learned the fourth Move of the Eight Desolations Fist, and it was just a beginner's level; Eight Wasteland Unity was still a long way off.

Next, I must also Cultivate diligently!

The Eight Desolations Fist has the ability to fight across levels; this can be done without cultivating to Eight Wasteland Unity, and once Eight Wasteland Unity is achieved, the power is further enhanced.

"This slaughter match 8225 is victorious! Congratulations 8225 for achieving three consecutive wins!"

Absorbing the Killing Intent, he took the two Spirit Bones from Xu Gang's body.

The right arm bone was obtained when Liu Erlong killed Spirit Douluo Tuoba Xuan earlier, and Xu Gang originally had a thirty-thousand-year Spirit Bone, which was of medium-to-high quality and could be used by Spirit Masters with strength attributes.

Walking onto the slaughter stage, Su Ling came to Liu Erlong's side and said, "Sister Liu, we can go back now."

"Mm!" Liu Erlong also stood up and stood with Su Ling.

"Um... Su Ling, thank you! If it weren't for you, I might have already..." Hu Liena bowed to Su Ling.

From today on, Hu Liena also understood three things: one cannot underestimate Slaughter City. Not only must she avoid fighting with Su Ling and Liu Erlong, but she must also avoid the experts of Slaughter City.

More importantly, she must improve her strength as soon as possible; one hundred victories were not that easy.

Another thing was that she had been too impatient, comparing herself with Liu Erlong and Su Ling. Now she knew that the gap between the two was not just a little bit large.

If Su Ling and Liu Erlong wanted to kill her, it would be very easy.

[Ding... Hu Liena Favorability +10, obtained white treasure chest *5, Yellow Treasure Chest *1]

The three walked out together, and Su Ling also received information from the System. This battle had a great harvest; Eight Wasteland Unity was finally mastered, and there were also two Spirit Bones as well as the three spatial spirit tools on Xu Gang.

"Hu Liena, in Slaughter City, we can look out for each other. Our residence is in the city ruins in this direction, a two-kilometer walk away. When you arrive, just call out and I will naturally appear," Su Ling said.

"Thank you!" Hu Liena nodded again.

Watching Su Ling and Liu Erlong leave together, the more Hu Liena looked at Su Ling, the more pleasing he seemed, but at the same time, she was also a bit puzzled.

Why would Su Ling help me like this?

He had quite a few confidantes by his side, and each of their talents and looks were not inferior to hers. Could there be some other purpose?

Forget it, I won't think about it.

In Slaughter City, I still have to rely on them for the time being; becoming allies is better than becoming enemies.

...

"Su Ling, you brat, you really have a way with young girls. Tell me, was this how you dealt with us back then?" Liu Erlong said.

"Sister Liu, how could that be? I always gave my sincere heart," Su Ling said.

"Hmph, it's also because of your sincerity that you have opportunities!" Liu Erlong laughed.

The two chatted and chatted until they returned home!

They didn't want to stay in the environment of Slaughter City at all, and returning home, the environment was beautiful and warm, which was also more conducive to controlling the Killing Intent within their bodies.

...

Three months later!

Slaughter City, Hell Slaughter Arena!

Hu Liena climbed up from the Hell Slaughter Arena with difficulty!

"Su... Su Ling... please... you..."

In this match, Hu Liena fell into a bitter battle, encountering three powerful opponents, and these three coordinated very well.

Although Hu Liena won, she was covered in wounds.

"Nana!"

"Su Ling!" Seeing Su Ling come over, Hu Liena directly fainted.

Those three Spirit Masters not only coordinated well, but they also used underhanded tactics to poison Hu Liena. Su Ling could treat the injuries, but the point was that the poison had already spread within her body.

Fortunately, she achieved victory in the end, otherwise it would have been really troublesome.

Seeing Hu Liena faint, Su Ling picked her up directly.

At this time, Liu Erlong was not here; after she finished her battle, she had gone back, while Su Ling stayed behind to watch Hu Liena's battle.

After all, only by having more contact with the goddess could he gain more favorability.

Carrying Hu Liena, Su Ling left the Hell Slaughter Arena.

He took a look at Hu Liena's panel on the System.

[Bound Goddess: Hu Liena]

[Goddess Comprehensive Value: 94]

[Favorability: 58]

With two more points of favorability, he could bind her. This was also the result of Su Ling's three months of effort, and this was also the third time Hu Liena had been injured.

Before, Su Ling had used healing skills to treat her twice.

Carrying Hu Liena, Su Ling arrived at their residence before long.

"Su Ling, you brought her back?"

Discovering that Su Ling had returned, Liu Erlong also immediately stopped cultivating.

Su Ling said, "Nana encountered an opponent this time, was heavily injured, and was also poisoned. On the way, I treated her once, but found that she wouldn't be better for a while, so I brought her back."

"Then quickly treat her; I can't really help with this aspect!" Liu Erlong said in a low voice.

"Mm!" Carrying Hu Liena into the room, Su Ling took out a top-grade Detoxification Medicinal Pill. Looking at the unconscious Hu Liena, how was he going to feed her this Medicinal Pill?
