Chapter 192: Tang San Drains the Slaughter Space
Xiao Wu...
The Azure Bull Python looked at Xiao Wu with eyes full of sorrow.
At this moment, soul power began to erupt from Xiao Wu, almost igniting her entire being.
She began to appear more and more ethereal.
"Da Ming, don't be sad for me. This way, I can find peace. I've often thought about how things would be different if I hadn't transformed into a human..."
"You, Er Ming, and I... Could we have continued living peacefully in the depths of the forest?"
"I'm leaving. Don't miss me. Live well..."
After saying this, Xiao Wu transformed into a red streak of light and entered Liu Erlong's body.
Liu Erlong, on the other hand, began to undergo significant changes.
The golden shadow of the Holy Light Dragon appeared behind her.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black. Eight soul rings appeared at her feet.
Her aura kept rising.
In an instant, she reached the peak of level 90.
"It's starting!" Qin Xiao's eyes were fixed on Liu Erlong.
Gradually.
A red soul ring began to take shape above Liu Erlong's head.
Its color deepened.
Moments later, the soul ring descended, encircling Liu Erlong and blending with her other eight rings.
"Nine rings achieved!"
Qin Xiao's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
The process of sacrifice was much faster than forcibly absorbing a soul ring and had no risks.
More importantly, it maximized the benefits of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.
For instance, Liu Erlong's aura didn't stop increasing even after breaking through to level 91. It continued to rise.
In no time, she broke through to level 92.
She continued to rise until she reached level 93, where her soul power finally stabilized.
"Good. This way, a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and an ultimate soul bone aren't wasted."
Qin Xiao felt that Xiao Wu's value had been fully realized.
At this moment, the red glow around Liu Erlong gradually faded.
She reappeared before Qin Xiao.
In her arms was a white rabbit.
Qin Xiao smiled, "Congratulations."
"It's all thanks to you."
Liu Erlong's eyes were filled with gratitude.
Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, "Tell me, what abilities did you gain?"
"The hundred-thousand-year soul ring gave me two skills: Void and Violent Eight-Dan Drop."
"In the Void state, I am immune to all physical attacks, and soul power attacks are reduced by fifty percent. It's a very powerful defensive skill.
As for Violent Eight-Dan Drop, it utilizes the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit's soul to attack the enemy and also inflicts mental damage."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly; this matched what the original work described. The skills from the hundred-thousand-year soul ring were indeed impressive.
Then Liu Erlong continued, "The hundred-thousand-year soul bone also gave me two skills, though they aren't focused on offense."
Seeing Liu Erlong's radiant expression, Qin Xiao understood that even if the skills weren't offensive, they were highly valued by her.
"One skill is called Invincible Golden Body. As the name suggests, it grants me invincibility for three seconds. During this time, I am immune to any attack below the divine level and can use it three times a day."
"The other skill is teleportation. Within a 100-meter range, I can teleport without any delay, but each use consumes one percent of my soul power."
Qin Xiao noticed Liu Erlong's eyes sparkling as she spoke.
But it was understandable.
As a strong attack-type soul master, Liu Erlong was known for her violent and ferocious combat style, and few could match her in direct confrontation.
However, there was a caveat; she needed to land her attacks to leverage her strength.
Now, with teleportation, she could launch surprise attacks and even use Invincible Golden Body to withstand counterattacks and deliver devastating strikes.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Qin Xiao shook his head.
Just imagining the scene, he found it brutal.
But he liked it.
"Let's go."
Qin Xiao said, glancing at the Azure Bull Python.
Liu Erlong frowned slightly.
"Is there something else?"
"Are we just going to let it go?"
"It's just a soul beast of around 200,000 years. I don't consider it a threat. What's the harm in sparing it?"
Qin Xiao replied nonchalantly.
"Understood." Liu Erlong nodded.
However, she was puzzled. Given Qin Xiao's usual demeanor, he wouldn't leave such a potential threat alive.
Did he have another plan?
"Wait."
"You can't leave!"
A deep voice suddenly stopped them.
Qin Xiao turned slightly, "Do you have something to say?"
"Leave if you want, but leave Xiao Wu behind!" The Azure Bull Python stared at the little white rabbit in Liu Erlong's arms.
Liu Erlong frowned and instinctively held the rabbit tighter.
After all, this was the result of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast's sacrifice, and who knew what value it held? She certainly couldn't leave it behind.
Qin Xiao smiled faintly, "That's obviously not possible. You've already said this is Xiao Wu, so I have even more reason to take her with me."
"You've already gained Xiao Wu's sacrifice. Isn't that enough? Why won't you let her go?" The Azure Bull Python's heart was filled with grief and anger.
"I don't let tigers return to the mountain. Even if she poses no threat to me now," Qin Xiao said coldly.
Hearing this, the Azure Bull Python fell silent.
After a moment, it asked in a deep voice, "Then what will it take for you to let her go?"
Qin Xiao shook his head slightly, "The decision is not mine but yours. If you want to save this rabbit, what price are you willing to pay?"
"Price?"
The Azure Bull Python was stunned. Remembering Xiao Wu's sacrifices for it, its heart filled with pain.
"I am willing to pay any price for Xiao Wu," it said hoarsely.
"Good, very good," Qin Xiao smiled, satisfied.
His goal was achieved.
A living soul beast of about 200,000 years held much more value than a dead one.
He could use the Azure Bull Python for various tasks. After all, on the Douluo Continent, it was a formidable force.
"Then live well. If I need you, I'll call for you."
"What about Xiao Wu?"
"Of course, I will take her with me. But I can allow you to meet her once a year."
Seeing the Azure Bull Python's hesitation, Qin Xiao added, "You have no other choice. Rest assured, we will take good care of this rabbit and feed it carrots every day."
The Azure Bull Python's eyes flickered with conflicting emotions but finally softened, "I hope you keep your promise."
Qin Xiao gave the Azure Bull Python a deep look and said to Liu Erlong, "Erlong, let's go."
Outside the Star Dou Forest, Liu Erlong suddenly stopped.
"Why aren't we moving?" Qin Xiao asked, puzzled.
"Qin Xiao, are you leaving again?" she asked.
"How did you know?" Qin Xiao was curious.
Liu Erlong sighed, "You left the Azure Bull Python behind as a backup, didn't you?"
"Haha, you got me," Qin Xiao laughed. But seeing Liu Erlong's serious expression, his laughter faded.
"I still have unfinished business overseas, so I need to go back. If any urgent matters arise, you can seek out the Azure Bull Python."
"Will you be gone long?"
"Not too long, I'll definitely be back within a year. I need to lead the Blue Tyrant Academy's Shrek team to win the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament."
"Pfft," Liu Erlong couldn't help but laugh, "If you compete, isn't that bullying?"
"But it's within the rules. What can I do?" Qin Xiao shrugged, looking helpless.
In reality, he was eager for the system's rewards.
"Soul Power Level +1, Fragmented Thunder Emperor Armor X1, and the ability to enhance two soul rings by 100,000 years each."
Even without considering the level increase, the Fragmented Thunder Emperor Armor alone was worth it. Despite being fragmented, it was a powerful artifact.
"When do you plan to leave?" Liu Erlong asked again.
Qin Xiao thought for a moment, "I have a few loose ends to tie up, then I'll leave."
"Oh," Liu Erlong responded listlessly.
Qin Xiao smiled, "Don't be sad, I'm not leaving forever."
He gently stroked Liu Erlong's hair.
Meanwhile, in the City of Slaughter, Tang San finally reached the end of the Hell Road.
He had walked cautiously, step by step, mindful of Tang Chen's teachings.
However, the Hell Road was surprisingly peaceful, with no dangers at all.
"Did I take the wrong Hell Road?"
"But it shouldn't be..."
Tang San kept muttering to himself.
However, as absurd as it seemed, this was indeed reality.
Looking at the white space ahead, Tang San hesitated.
"As long as I enter here, I can complete the final trial and obtain the Killing God Domain."
"But why do I have a bad feeling about this?"
Tang San had a foreboding feeling in his heart.
His intuition told him that entering this space would bring unimaginable danger.
"But do I have a choice?"
"With great danger comes great rewards. Fortune favors the bold!"
Tang San's eyes gradually became resolute.
He took a deep breath and uttered two words, "Let's do it!"
With determination, he stepped into the white space ahead.
With a pop, Tang San felt like he had pierced through a membrane and entered a new world.
But in the next moment, he saw a terrifying amount of killing intent rushing towards him.
A chill ran down his spine, making him shiver.
"Gulp!"
Seeing the killing intent solidify, Tang San swallowed hard.
"Will this kill me?"
Tang San panicked.
Instinctively, he wanted to retreat.
But he was already pressed against the white barrier, with no way out.
Entering was easy; leaving was hard.
Tang San realized the predicament.
As he turned back, the killing intent was already close, like eels burrowing into his body.
The next moment, Tang San felt immense chaos in his mind.
It was as if countless foreign souls were invading his mind, each wanting to take control of his body.
No!
To be precise, each soul wanted to dominate his body.
Waves of excruciating pain continually assaulted his nerves.
He clutched his head in agony, screaming, "Get out of my body!"
"I am the master of this body..."
Tang San's eyes turned red as he roared in anguish.
But his struggles and roars were futile.
The more he resisted, the more tenacious those thoughts became, continually assaulting his soul.
Wave after wave...
Tang San didn't know how long he endured, but eventually, his defenses were breached.
"Fine, if I can't resist, I'll join."
He spread his arms and opened his mind.
More killing intent was attracted, rushing towards him.
At that moment, Tang San was like a rotten egg, and the killing intent was like flies drawn to the stench.
And it kept gathering more and more.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
After an indeterminate amount of time, Tang San let out a cold shout.
His voice echoed in the mysterious space.
And now, there wasn't a trace of killing intent left in the space.
"Haha, boy, you'll thank me."
"With me here, I'll help you kill all your enemies."
"Everyone will die, hahaha."
Tang San suddenly spoke in a strange tone, saying strange things.
At this moment, Tang San seemed like a different person.
In reality, it wasn't that he was a different person, but that he had a different soul.
A soul that only knew how to kill.
"Enough, all of you shut up! If you still want to experience the thrill of killing, you must obey me. Without my command, you will not come out."
"Boy, are you threatening me?"
"I only know that if I can't do what I want, I'd rather die. You will get nothing and be trapped in this dark place."
"Haha, good, very good, I admire your resolve. I can agree to your terms, but don't forget, I need to control the body once every seven days to do what I want."
Tang San licked his lips excitedly.
Undoubtedly, it was the killing soul within Tang San speaking.
Next, Tang San's expression changed again, and he nodded indifferently, "Agreed."
After that, the bloodthirsty voice did not appear again.
"Whew..."
Tang San let out a sigh of relief.
That troublesome guy finally quieted down.
Then he began to ponder. Why did this happen?
He had seen Tang Chen and Tang Hao, both possessors of the Killing God Domain, but they could control their bodies completely. They didn't experience anything like this.
"Wait, the Killing God Domain!"
Tang San suddenly realized the problem. Wasn't he here to inherit the Killing God Domain?
He quickly summoned the Clear Sky Hammer to inspect it closely.
But his expression grew increasingly grim as he found no trace of the Killing God Domain on the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Damn it, where's my Killing God Domain?"
"Great, now I didn't get the Killing God Domain, but instead absorbed a bunch of killing intent and formed a parasitic killing soul in my body."
His mindset collapsed; this was a disaster!
