234: Chapter 234 City of Slaughter

"What do you want? Don't tell me you're planning to break the rules?" a familiar voice called out.

Indeed, it was Xia Lingling. At this moment, she had a digital double of herself tied up behind her.

Great Demon God Greed: "The rules must be followed, but since we're already here... how about a little warm-up?"

"Hmm? Is there water in your brain? Who gave you the courage to ask me for a warm-up? Fish Leong?"

Xia Lingling couldn't help but crack a slight smile.

Rules are dead, but people are alive.

Just like right now, there are always a few people who get a bit of power and start to inflate with ego.

Coming out to say, 'I'm just not following the rules, what can you do to me?'

"Come then! Let me see exactly how much you're worth." Great Demon God Greed was clearly looking to cause trouble.

"That's fine, but what I want to tell you is that even your All-Demon wouldn't dare speak to me like that."

As soon as Xia Lingling finished speaking, she instantly pinned Great Demon God Greed to the ground and ground him into the dirt.

Don't be fooled by the simple act of grinding; in reality, it was a one-sided crushing by Xia Lingling.

She didn't give Greed a single chance.

"What? You three want to make a move too?" Xia Lingling stood atop Great Demon God Greed, glaring coldly ahead.

Sure enough, three figures appeared: the three Great Demon Gods Pride, Envy, and Wrath.

"Senior, you're joking. We have no such intention," Great Demon God Wrath said politely.

Xia Lingling: "Scram! Remember, rules are always rules. Do not try to challenge my bottom line."

With that, she violently kicked Greed away from under her feet.

The four figures of the Great Demon Gods departed just like that... and Xia Lingling soon vanished as well.

"Huh? It's over just like that?" Mu Cheng looked completely bewildered.

Lu Yunzi: "What are you thinking? If it were that simple, why go through all this trouble?"

"Just watch! Things are far from being that simple. But with us eight sisters here, stalling for a year or two won't be a problem." Mo Yanyan still had that confidence.

Xiao Honghong: "They're here, Sister Yunzi... It's been a long time since I've seen you fight. Why don't you take this one?"

"It doesn't matter, it's the same no matter who goes," Lu Yunzi said dismissively.

In reality, she had already released her golden Energy Wings and soared into the sky. Clad in her golden armor, she looked like a Goddess of War.

On the other side, a Demon God in black gold armor appeared. His aura alone was enough to prove he was a genuine God of Destruction powerhouse.

"Name yourself. I, Lu Yunzi, do not slay nameless nobodies." Lu Yunzi held her overlord heavy sword.

In an instant, she released a terrifying aura. It wasn't divine power or a domain, but pure Battle Qi.

"Demon 18. Today I shall test your mettle, Lu Yunzi." The Demon God likewise did not release divine power.

Just by drawing a black gold blade, his aura instantly surged more than tenfold. Even the surrounding void was constantly cracking and mending itself.

"Is this a God of Destruction powerhouse? Truly terrifying." Mu Cheng watched intently, afraid to miss a single detail.

Beside him, Mo Yanyan said: "You're wrong. Yunzi cultivates Bloodline Power. Her strength is at the peak of a Nine-Star World King God."

"Huh? Are you sure you're not joking?" Mu Cheng was incredibly shocked, clearly finding it hard to believe.

She just simply released Battle Qi and her aura already reached the God of Destruction realm, and now you're telling me she cultivates Bloodline Power?

"Could it be fake? What Yunzi emits can be called Battle Qi, but there's another name for it—killing intent." Chu Han was very familiar with Lu Yunzi's strength.

If she were ranked second among the eight sisters, probably only Lan Ninger would dare claim the first spot.

Mu Cheng: "Ah, about this killing intent... how does one cultivate it?"

Mo Yanyan: "I knew you'd ask that. After this matter is resolved, let Luolu take you to the City of Slaughter. Whether you can cultivate it depends on yourself."

"Come! Show me your strength. Let me see to what extent your killing intent has reached." Demon 18 gripped his black gold blade tightly.

He slashed directly at Lu Yunzi.

"Hmm? Is this the extent of a Demon God's attack?"

In the next moment, Lu Yunzi lightly raised her overlord heavy sword. Before the Demon God could even touch her, he was directly sent flying by the vibration.

Little Demon Fox Emperor watched, utterly shocked: "Sister Yunzi... I really didn't expect her to be so strong now."

Shangguan Mengmeng: "Yeah, she hasn't even used her Bloodline Power and it's already enough to completely crush him."

"So, we must also work hard to catch up." Xiao Honghong refused to be outdone.

Xiao Luolu: "You guys are overthinking it! What Sister Yunzi went through back then isn't something we can catch up to just by saying so."

"What do you mean? What did she go through back then?" Mu Cheng was very curious upon hearing this.

She was his mother-in-law after all, so it wasn't wrong to learn a bit about her.

Chu Han: "What else could it be? Don't you know that the Battlefield's seal is released once every thirty years?"

"I really didn't know about that," Mu Cheng replied rather embarrassedly.

"Forget it, forget it. I can't explain it to you in just a few words. Anyway, all you need to know is that your mother-in-law is very strong—not just normally strong, but freakishly strong." Chu Han couldn't be bothered to explain.

Too much happened thirty years ago. Of the Super Ability Academy members from Lu Yunzi's class, only myself, Lan Ninger, and Lu Yunzi remain.

Although I didn't participate in that mission, over a dozen sisters never returned. One can only imagine how tragic it was.

"Fine! If you won't say, then forget it." Mu Cheng was curious, but what could he do if she wouldn't talk.

On the other side.

"Very well, try this move." Demon 18 slashed at Lu Yunzi once more.

A thirty-nine-meter-long blade of black energy was unleashed, tearing through the void as it passed.

"Just this level of strength? Go home and cultivate for another ten years!" Lu Yunzi still only released her killing intent.

She instantly neutralized the attack and sent Demon 18 flying once again.

"How is this possible? How can you be so strong? No, it's absolutely impossible." Demon 18 was clearly terrified.

How could such a terrifying existence be only at the peak of a Nine-Star World King God...

"As expected of Sister Yunzi. I suspect even Sister Ninger might not be her match now." Xiao Luolu was shocked once again.

Little Demon Fox Emperor: "They each have their strengths! I think Sister Ninger and Sister Yunzi wouldn't be able to do anything to each other."

"Mm-hmm. To decide a winner, only a life-and-death battle would truly settle it." Su Qingyan didn't dare to draw a conclusion either.

On the other side.

Lu Yunzi shouted domineeringly, "What? Only this much strength? Or is your Demon God Clan just mediocre?"

"Just you? I, Mo Lingjiu, shall battle you."

As a voice rang out, the void suddenly split open, and a giant black palm smashed toward Lu Yunzi.

"Hmm? Pity, you're not worthy!" Lu Yunzi swung her sword, and an invisible force split the black palm apart.

The sword qi continued on toward Mo Lingjiu...

"Indeed quite interesting. Therefore, you must die today!" Another voice came, easily blocking Lu Yunzi's attack.

Soon, a Demon God appeared, with three heads and six arms...

"You can call me Mo Lingyi, or Mo Linger, or Mo Lingsan."

"Indeed, you have the strength to make me get serious." Lu Yunzi was just about to make a move.

But suddenly, Lan Ninger's voice came through: "Yunzi, oh Yunzi, just a jumping clown, no need to be serious."

"Fine! I'll leave it to you then." After Lu Yunzi finished speaking, she retreated to the defensive wall of the City of Death.

"Whoa, Sister Ninger was drawn out? This is the first time I've seen her take action in so long." Mu Cheng began to feel quite expectant.

Chu Han: "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. This kind of power gap... is basically an instant kill."

Just as she finished speaking, sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the three-headed, six-armed Demon God's moment of glory didn't even last three seconds.

He was directly trapped by dark light energy.

"Since you're all here, then die together!" Lan Ninger was not as soft-hearted as Lu Yunzi.

In just an instant, Demon 18 and Mo Jiu were also trapped by dark light energy, unable to even struggle.

"Give me some face and let them go." It was Great Demon God Wrath; he had returned to drop some harsh words.

"Laughable. What kind of thing are you? Are you worthy of me giving you face?" Lan Ninger did not hesitate.

She simply snapped her fingers, and right under Great Demon God Wrath's eyes, his three subordinates were obliterated until not even a speck of dust remained.

"What, not satisfied? Since Lingling isn't here anyway, why don't you come and try for yourself?" Lan Ninger threw out another threat.

"Is Sister Ninger... that badass?" Mu Cheng was dumbfounded as he watched.

Chu Han: "Can't you tell? Although the seven Great Demon Gods can be resurrected infinitely, killing them whenever we can still counts."

"I see... so that's how it is." Mu Cheng instantly understood.

Lan Ninger wasn't afraid at all, naturally because Xia Lingling was there.

"Dammit, it seems I cannot let you live today." Great Demon God Wrath lived up to his name; he had no patience at all.

He stepped forward and threw a ball of fire at Lan Ninger.

Lan Ninger knew she couldn't dodge it, so she chose to use dark light energy for defense.

Ultimately, despite being injured, she barely managed to block Great Demon God Wrath's attack.

"Die!"

Xia Lingling's voice rang out. Even before her figure was seen, a dense mass of vines suddenly and tightly bound Great Demon God Wrath.

They quickly formed a flower with nine black petals. As the nine black petals bloomed, Great Demon God Wrath was also reduced to ashes.

"Just as I thought." Chu Han instantly transformed into a golden person and caught Lan Ninger.

"Stop pretending."

Sure enough, Lan Ninger couldn't hold on in the end and finally fainted...

"Kid, hurry and teleport us back to the nebula." After Chu Han returned to her original form, she immediately shouted in a hurry.

Mu Cheng didn't dare to delay for a second. He hurriedly operated the high-tech bracelet and instantly teleported the two of them back to the nebula.

"This... Sister Ninger will be okay, right?" He finally couldn't help but ask.

Mo Yanyan: "She's fine, just over-exhaustion of divine power. She'll recover in three days at most."

"Go do whatever you need to do! Luolu... it's also time to take him to the City of Slaughter." After Lu Yunzi finished speaking, she vanished.

A moment later, on the defensive wall of the City of Death, only one elf girl remained—indeed, it was Xiao Luolu.

"Barely passing! Follow me." Xiao Luolu didn't waste any words, releasing her Energy Wings and soaring into the sky.

Mu Cheng had no choice but to follow closely behind...

Until three days later.

"This... ahead is the Life Forbidden Zone. Are we really going in?" Mu Cheng finally couldn't help asking.

Xiao Luolu: "It's just the Endless Life Forbidden Zone. Don't tell me you're scared?"

"Who's scared? I was just asking." Mu Cheng was only acting tough.

In reality, he had no idea what to expect, but with Xiao Luolu there, it shouldn't be much of a problem.

"Stay behind me." Xiao Luolu suddenly stopped in front, and soon she released her killing intent.

It wasn't as terrifying as Lu Yunzi's; on the contrary, this killing intent was relatively soft, yet it clearly allowed Mu Cheng to perceive it as killing intent.

"Hmm? Is this killing intent? Why does it feel a bit... not quite right?" Mu Cheng asked very suspiciously.

Xiao Luolu explained, "Of course. However, my killing intent is innate, and I can control it perfectly."

"Fine! Consider it unasked." Mu Cheng could only follow obediently.

About three hours later, the two of them arrived at a teleportation array.

"This leads to the City of Slaughter, the place where I was born. If it weren't for you, I might never have come back." Xiao Luolu didn't waste words either.

She directly entered the teleportation array, and Mu Cheng followed closely behind.

Instantly, the two of them were teleported to a strange world. Before their eyes was nothing but jagged rocks, but the sky was perpetually filled with red clouds.

Moreover, all around was a visible smell of blood, along with blood-red energy rising up.

"Is this killing intent?" Even before Mu Cheng began to devour and refine it, the killing intent had already surged into his body.

"It seems making you cultivate killing intent won't be hard. Spend some time devouring and refining it first!" Xiao Luolu knew they couldn't leave immediately.

She then left to keep watch on the surroundings.

Mu Cheng didn't waste time either, immediately sitting cross-legged on the spot to begin devouring and refining the killing intent.

In the nebula.

"You, I really don't know what to say to you." Chu Han looked at the weakened Lan Ninger, her heart full of both love and frustration.

Lan Ninger said with a smile, "Big sister... relax, aren't I fine? Being able to solve a big trouble, this little injury is nothing."

"You recover well. I'll guard you for a while!" Chu Han didn't waste words and soon turned to leave.

"Don't forget to give me the permissions too."

On the defensive wall of the City of Death.

"Sister Yunzi, Luolu she..." Shangguan Mengmeng hadn't finished speaking.

Lu Yunzi spoke up, "What was meant to come has finally come. I believe she can handle everything."

"I believe so too... but Luolu is still too soft-hearted after all." Shangguan Mengmeng had the best relationship with her.

So she understood her situation perfectly.

Lu Yunzi: "Don't worry! Isn't he with her? I believe Luolu can take that step."

Three days later.

"Is this killing intent? It's completely different from Battle Qi. This is practically killing people invisibly." Mu Cheng was also inwardly shocked.

Xiao Luolu: "Not bad. It seems you've mastered simple release of killing intent. Next, it's time to head to the City of Slaughter."

"Mm-hmm, I'll follow your lead." Mu Cheng nodded.

"Let's walk from here! If we encounter Killing Beasts, you can practice on them." Xiao Luolu said as she led the way.

Mu Cheng followed without a second thought... The two of them traversed the jagged rocks. Their speed wasn't very fast, but it wasn't slow either.

"It's a sixth-rank Killing Beast. Our luck is quite good." Xiao Luolu suddenly stopped.
