Chapter 107 Slaughter City
Yang Podi entered the black hole and entered a strange world.
In this world, people's senses become extremely impaired, and everything around them becomes incredibly dark.
Yang Podi carefully sensed his surroundings. He seemed to be in a passageway, with a road ahead, but he couldn't tell what the road led to.
Yang Podi ignored all that and walked straight ahead along the road. Eventually, a bright light appeared before him, and he entered a special world.
This world seems different from the Douluo Continent of the past; the whole world is dark, with hardly any light.
A blood-red moon hung in the sky, its crimson light illuminating the entire world. However, due to the moon's weak illumination, the world appeared very blurry.
In this world, there seemed to be no trace of life in the air; everywhere was filled with deathly silence, a cold and bone-chilling atmosphere, like hell itself.
Immediately afterward, a group of knights appeared before Yang Podi, totaling 101 people. One of them was dressed completely differently from the others and was probably their captain.
The knights rode black horses, were covered in black armor from head to toe, and even their weapons were black.
The lead knight rode up quickly and stopped in front of Yang Podi: "Outsider, welcome to the City of Slaughter. To become a member of the City of Slaughter, you must pass my test."
Yang Podi's face was icy: "What test do you have in store for me?"
"Defeat me."
Before the leading knight could react, Yang Podi produced a Soul-Shattering Spear and thrust it directly at the knight in front of him with what seemed to be immense force.
The knight hurriedly used his weapon to defend himself, but the Soul-Shattering Spear in front of him exerted tremendous force, instantly breaching his defenses. The tip of the spear was already pressed against his neck, seemingly ready to take his life at any moment.
"Don't bother me, you're too weak."
Yang Podi ignored the knight and walked straight past him towards the distant castle.
The lead knight seemed to suddenly snap out of his fright and hurriedly caught up with Yang Podi, saying, "Wait a moment."
"Are you perhaps still contemplating suicide?"
"You've misunderstood. Congratulations on becoming a member of the Killing City. This is your identification. Someone will greet you when you arrive at the city gate."
The leading knight still seemed to have fear on his face, but he tossed Yang Podi a token. The token had a skull and crossbones symbol on it, along with the number 8868.
Yang Podi took the token and walked towards the city gate without looking back.
When Yang Podi arrived at the city gate, the entire gate was black, giving people a very oppressive feeling. Above the gate were four large, blood-red characters: Slaughter City.
Yang Podi summoned his martial soul, but all his spirit rings appeared to be gray, and their power was completely unusable, as if they had been sealed by some mysterious force.
Before Yang Podi could enter the city gates of the Slaughter City, a woman with a black veil had already walked out from inside.
"Welcome to the City of Slaughter." The woman's voice was very pleasant. She came up to Yang Podi and gestured for him to enter.
Yang Podi followed the woman through the city gate.
Upon entering the city, Yang Podi was greeted by a world of blue and purple. The streetlights lining the streets emitted only these two colors, making the entire world seem eerie, like the hell described in novels from his previous life.
The woman in black veil seemed to have extensive experience in explaining things: "I am your guide. Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand. I will answer all your questions within twelve hours. After twelve hours, this will be where you live. You will officially become a member of the Killing City."
"Take me to the hellish killing field."
"Are you sure? Less than one-tenth of those who go in come out alive. It's also the place in our Slaughter City where the population is most likely to decrease. Each person is only required to enter the Hell Slaughter Arena once a year. As long as you can pass one battle, you can live in Slaughter City for another year."
"Sir, you now have a 12-hour protection period during which you will not be attacked by anyone. If you go to the Hell Killing Fields, the protection period will automatically expire."
Yang Podi said expressionlessly, "Lead the way."
The woman in black veil seemed to understand Yang Poli's attitude and led Yang Podi directly towards the center of the castle.
Along the way, all sorts of people appeared. Some were in a frenzy, stopping by the roadside to look at Yang Podi with a half-smile, while most others stood alone by the roadside.
However, these people all had one thing in common: they were extremely thin, almost like skeletons. If it weren't for their eyes still moving, Yang Podi would have suspected that they were dead.
The woman in black veil seemed to sense Yang Podi's confusion: "This is only the outer city of the Killing City; only the inner city is the true Killing City. There are no rules within the inner city."
"Killing is not allowed indiscriminately in the outer city. Only those warriors who survive the hellish killing field are qualified to live in the inner city. Of course, the enjoyment there is greater than outside, but you will also face the test of death at any time."
"Everyone who wants to live in the outer city must contribute two Bloody Marys every month, which is why the people in the outer city were in that state just now."
Before long, the two arrived in the inner city.
The inner city and the outer city were indeed completely different worlds. If the outer city was just gloomy, the inner city was filled with killing everywhere.
On the roadside, you can see people fighting and killing each other at any time. People are even covered in blood, with only their bodies writhing on the ground. Their limbs have been cut off by others, and some are even being chewed up.
This is a cannibalistic world, a real cannibalistic world, and it eats people raw.
Everywhere you look in the inner city, you see all sorts of faces, and everyone who goes up there looks very similar.
Each person's face seemed extremely ferocious, their eyes bloodshot, as if they had been stimulated by something, and they exuded a strong aura of killing intent.
Led by the girl in the black veil, Yang Podi saw a peculiar building. The building was circular, or more accurately, an irregular cone, with the largest area at the bottom, narrowing as it rose. It maintained the same diameter upwards for about thirty meters, continuing until it reached fifty meters.
The scene at this hellish killing arena is somewhat reminiscent of the Colosseum in ancient Rome. The participants in the hellish killing contest fight like wild beasts, while the spectators in the stands watch with excitement, as if they were watching a performance.
"How do I get into the Hell Killing Fields?"
The girl in black veil said, "The qualification to enter the Hell Killing Arena is to contribute a Bloody Mary. It can be yours or someone else's. As long as there are ten people who sign up, a Hell Killing Arena can begin."
Yang Podi glanced at the bald, burly man beside him, seemingly lost in thought.
The girl in the black veil spoke urgently, "Mr. 8868, if you provoke us, the newcomer protection won't work."
Yang Podi ignored the girl in the black veil and directly took the Soul-Breaking Spear and stabbed it at the bald man next to him.
The bald, burly man next to him seemed to react very quickly, or perhaps it had become a habit. In fact, he was wielding a huge hammer and swinging it to meet Yang Podi's Soul-Shattering Spear.
Yang Podi's Soul-Shattering Spear collided with the bald giant's hammer. Yang Podi himself remained unmoved, while the bald giant was forced to take three steps back.
However, Yang Poli himself was a little startled by this attack. Looking at the hammer in the bald man's hand, it should weigh more than 1000 jin, but it was still quite flexible to use, especially the power of the attack just now, which was very impressive.
This is a city of slaughter, and Yang Podi shows no mercy here.
Yang Podi gripped the Soul-Breaking Spear with both hands and thrust it at the bald giant in front of him again. The bald giant gritted his teeth and used all his strength to smash it down with the hammer in his hand.
However, this time Yang Podi did not intend to confront the bald giant head-on. Instead, he lightly flicked the tip of his spear, directly knocking the bald giant's hammer away.
He then casually pushed the Soul-Shattering Spear forward, and the spear pierced directly into the bald man's shoulder.
At this moment, the bald, burly man's shoulder was pierced, and blood was gushing out. But he seemed extremely fierce, ignoring his wounds, and picked up a hammer to smash it down.
Seeing this, Yang Podi pulled the Soul-Breaking Spear from the burly man's shoulder with both hands, and then swiftly slashed at the bald man, not only blocking his vertical attack but also cutting off one of his arms.
At this moment, Yang Podi pressed his advantage, gripping the Soul-Breaking Spear with both hands and thrusting it forward again, piercing directly through the bald man's throat.
Immediately afterwards, he took several Bloody Marys from the bald, burly man and handed one of them to the girl in the black veil next to him.
The girl in black veil couldn't help but swallow hard. This seemingly ordinary young man was incredibly powerful, easily killing the bald giant opposite her. Keep in mind, this bald giant had achieved 11 victories in the Hell's Killing Arena, a respectable record.
Judging from the man's face, he's probably not even 20 years old yet, and he has such terrifying fighting ability at such a young age.
"Miss, could you please register me? I want to participate in the Hell Killing Arena competition."
At this moment, the girl in black veil no longer doubted Yang Podi's strength. She hurriedly took the token and began to arrange the match for Yang Podi.
Just one hour later, Yang Podi's registration for the Hell Slaughter Arena competition began.
When Yang Podi stepped into the Hell Slaughter Arena, nine contestants were already standing there, and judging from the situation, all nine were wary and none of them were willing to take the initiative to attack.
Yang Podi couldn't help but recall a saying: This is a world of killing, where there are no friends, and everyone is your enemy.
Yang Podi couldn't help but whisper, "If everyone is my enemy, then I'll kill them all."
With a resolute expression, Yang Podi gripped the Soul-Breaking Spear in both hands and thrust it directly at the person closest to him. Even though the person tried his best to resist, he still couldn't stop the Soul-Breaking Spear, which weighed 2000 jin, from Yang Podi's hands. This spear was just forged by the Qingli Clan, and both its materials and forging techniques were top-notch.
Yang Podi's first battle in the Hell Slaughter Arena was very quick. In just ten minutes, the other nine people had already fallen into pools of blood on the ground, and were obviously dead.
Of the nine men, seven were stabbed to death by Yang Podi, and two were killed by others. In particular, after Yang Podi killed the first man, the remaining eight men seemed to want to unite against Yang Podi, but as soon as they united, one of them was ambushed and killed by his teammates.
There were no friends, only enemies; no cooperation, only slaughter.
