Chapter 76 Road to Hell
Li Luochen stood up, looked left and right. The surrounding environment was predominantly blood red. No wonder it was called the Road to Hell. This was truly hellish.
However, Li Luochen felt that his emotions were being manipulated as soon as he entered this place, making him feel irritable, bloodthirsty, and crazy.
Li Luochen guessed that this must be the characteristic of Hell Road. The special environment was truly hellish. A narrow path, less than half a foot wide and only wide enough for two feet to stand at the same time, led to the unknown darkness. This was also the only way for their platform to reach the outside world.
Li Luochen looked down at the platform and saw that it was filled with a deep red liquid. Yes, Bloody Mary, very much like the Killing City. Apart from taking a sip of Bloody Mary when he first arrived, Li Luochen had never touched it. This stuff was a slow poison, and he had no interest in drinking such things.
Moreover, the air in the Killing City contains toxins, so Li Luochen regularly takes antidotes and calming medicine prepared by Dugu Bo. The calming medicine is made by Dugu Bo using herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
The effect was tremendous, so Li Luochen had time to stabilize his killing intent and prevent it from going out of control. If he wanted to be able to control it, he would probably have to leave the City of Slaughter. The environment here is really not suitable for cultivating one's mind. Staying here is really uncomfortable.
Li Luochen planned to rest and recuperate here for a while before venturing out again. Although the path ahead was narrow, unfortunately for him, Li Luochen possessed the Dragon Wing Soul Bone, allowing him to fly.
After half an hour of recuperation, Li Luochen's condition returned to its best. He decided to continue, unfolding his Dragon Wing Soul Bone and flying directly there. Why run when you can fly? You say you don't have enough soul power? Sorry, the fifth level of the Zhou Tian Wu Ji Gong, the Everlasting Life Technique, provides enough soul power!
While Li Luochen was venturing into the Hell Road, his every move was being watched by one person.
This person was different from those who had fallen from grace. She was not tall, wore a black dress, had fair skin, and a near-perfect face, making her stand out from the crowd. In particular, the intangible nobility and holiness she exuded inspired a sense of reverence in everyone.
"Heh, so this is the person you've swallowed your pride to write to me begging for my help? He's got great talent. Li Luochen, only fifteen and a half years old, his martial soul has mutated into a dragon-patterned staff and is evolving into a coiled dragon staff. He actually achieved a hundred victories in the killing field in just a year and a half?"
"Much faster than I was back then, even faster than Tang Hao. Ha, you didn't really think I wouldn't know just because you blocked his information, did you? Since you want it, here you go. Anyway, you're all from my Spirit Hall."
This person was none other than Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall. She had actually seen Li Luochen several times already. Ever since Li Luochen entered the City of Slaughter, Qian Renxue had written to Bibi Dong asking her to take good care of him. Bibi Dong had been sarcastic, but she arrived very quickly. (Pah, doting father, damn tsundere.)
Li Luochen's information had been on her desk for a long time, in great detail from beginning to end. She even knew that Li Luochen loved jewelry. As a person in a superior position, offering corresponding benefits can often win people's hearts.
(P.S.: Just to clarify, I know Li Luochen's cultivation level, soul ring ratio, and hobbies. As for Li Luochen's martial soul fusion skill, Ghost Douluo didn't come that day, and Ghost Douluo doesn't watch Li Luochen and Dugu Yan cultivate every night, so he doesn't know they have a martial soul fusion skill.)
Furthermore, they don't monitor people during the Soul Hunting process; they only monitor occasionally and check on things periodically. They're not paparazzi, so they only know the general outline.
However, just as she was about to make her move, she was rejected by a Holy Maiden's decree. Bibi Dong was initially furious, but after thinking about it, she decided to let it go. Since Bibi Dong wanted it, she would just give it to her.
Although it was given to her, she still knew all about Li Luochen. Did she really think the Papal Palace's intelligence was just for show? Ghost Douluo was the best at hiding, and he personally monitored him regularly, yet even Dugu Bo couldn't detect it.
All that could be seen was a ghostly figure, but no spirit rings. This was Ghost Douluo. Bibi Dong had always been quite clear about Li Luochen's strength, but since he was from her Spirit Hall, how could she possibly not want such a talent? Besides, he had already "joined" the Spirit Hall, so there was no need to kill him.
As for her hatred towards the Angel Clan? It doesn't conflict with her unification of Douluo Continent. The more talented people the better. She will destroy the Angel Clan sooner or later. Well, Qian Renxue doesn't count.
The scene shifts back to Li Luochen, who flies over the abyss. This is the advantage of having flight skills. However, the further he flies, the hotter he feels, indicating that the difficulty has increased.
As they got closer to the blood pool below, it was naturally getting hotter—that was the core of the Slaughter City. However, Li Luochen's mental energy detected a group of things rapidly approaching.
Because these flying creatures weren't just one or two, but a swarm, at least a thousand of them. The flying creatures could finally be seen clearly; they were blood-red bats, miniature versions of the blood-red patterns left on the ground of the previous hellish slaughterground. Each blood bat was about a foot long, but its enormous wingspan exceeded a meter.
"The bats are here. Looks like this is the first hurdle. The best course of action is to leave quickly and avoid getting entangled with them."
Li Luochen immediately increased his speed, as fighting the bats was too strenuous; there were too many of them, making it unsuitable for someone like him who excelled in one-on-one combat.
Just as Li Luochen was rapidly flying towards the front of the narrow path, a gigantic creature was hanging upside down below. Bathed in the surrounding pale red light, it emitted a dark golden glow.
The creature was over four meters long, its two enormous claws gripping the narrow path. Each claw was over a meter in diameter, its sharp claws digging into the rocks.
A pair of enormous wings slowly unfurled from its dark golden body. The terrifying wingspan was a staggering ten meters. Its claws snapped open, and with the flapping of its massive wings, its enormous body took flight. It was an incredibly large bat.
"A dark gold three-headed bat king? Three heads should mean it's 30,000 years old, right? Hmph, blocking my way? You think you can stop me?"
Li Luochen summoned the Panlong Staff, activated the Tyrant Dragon Spine Bone to amplify his power, and simultaneously unleashed the power of the Golden Light Left Leg Bone. The Panlong Staff turned golden and emitted a strong aura of light.
Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King? Bats fear light, and the attribute of light is its nemesis. Li Luochen will use his strongest power to defeat it.
"The first move of the Fighting Staff Technique is earth-shattering!"
Li Luochen was using his self-created Fighting Staff Technique, named after his number one superhero and great supernatural being, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven! Fighting against heaven, fighting against earth, fighting against gods, fighting against ghosts, fighting against people, this is the fighting way that Li Luochen created.
For this reason, Li Luochen created six styles of staff techniques: Shaking Mountains and Earth; Dividing Rivers and Creating Land; Turning Rivers and Stirring Seas; Whipping Mountains and Moving Stones; Flying Sand and Moving Stones; Moving Mountains and Filling Seas.
Among them, "Shaking Mountains and Earth," "Turning Rivers and Seas," "Blowing Mountains and Moving Stones," and "Moving Mountains and Filling Seas" are all powerful offensive staff techniques.
The phrase "dividing the river into land" is used to separate the battlefield, while "flying sand and stones" is used to confuse the enemy.
It can be said that Li Luochen's six-style staff technique is very applicable. He created a new staff technique by combining the four staff techniques of Panlong Staff Technique, Qianjun Staff Technique, Jiangmo Staff Technique, and Longwen Staff Technique.
This staff technique is best suited for him alone. It was created for him, and he is the one who can best wield it. Even if others try to learn it, they can only achieve about 80% of its potential. Those who learn from me will live, while those who imitate me will die.
This principle was summarized by our predecessors. Surely no one would blindly imitate it? Surely not?
Boom! Li Luochen's powerful blow slammed into the head of the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.
