Yang Xiong's first Hell Slaughter Arena arena match progressed quickly. With Yang Xiong having killed two people consecutively and Green Bamboo Viper having killed one, three people had already been eliminated.
The other five people were engaged in a chaotic battle. Two of them were ganging up on one person, while the other two were fighting each other individually.
However, no matter who they were, everyone's attention was basically on the entire arena, as everyone present was an enemy.
Green Bamboo Viper said to Yang Xiong with a half-smile, "Little brother, I see your strength is good. How about we cooperate first to eliminate everyone else, and then we'll decide the winner?"
A smile appeared on Yang Xiong's face. "Alright, then who should we target first?"
Green Bamboo Viper said, "The fat guy being ganged up on has the best record among all of us. He has already won seven Hell Slaughter Arena matches, and his strength is also the strongest among all of us. How about we kill him first?"
Yang Xiong thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, but don't secretly attack me like you did just now."
A smile appeared on Green Bamboo Viper's face. "Of course. That middle-aged man bullied me many times before, and I just wanted to get revenge on him."
Yang Xiong and Green Bamboo Viper exchanged glances and quickly joined the attack on the fat man.
The fat man roared, "Green Bamboo Viper, you bitch! If I hadn't protected you back then, you wouldn't have been able to move an inch in Slaughter City."
Green Bamboo Viper snorted, "Was that protection? You made me give myself to you."
Just then, the situation suddenly changed. The dagger in Green Bamboo Viper's hand actually spun around the moment she attacked the fat man, directly stabbing towards Yang Xiong's shoulder. Green Bamboo Viper even had a smile on her face.
And the fat man holding a large saber actually summoned his Martial Soul, his body seemingly transforming into a giant black bear, and he chopped towards Yang Xiong with all his might. Even the two people who were originally ganging up on the fat man attacked Yang Xiong at this moment.
Yang Xiong snorted, holding his long sword in his right hand and flicking the fat man's large saber, causing the saber to instantly attack the other two people.
Yang Xiong's left hand directly transformed into a sharp claw, directly grabbing towards Green Bamboo Viper's extremely sharp dagger.
Green Bamboo Viper seemed very confident, directly swinging her dagger to attack without hesitation. Just as the dagger was about to approach Yang Xiong's shoulder, Yang Xiong's five fingers firmly grasped Green Bamboo Viper's dagger.
Green Bamboo Viper snorted, "I didn't expect you to be prepared for me. Unfortunately, you still fell for it. My dagger is highly poisonous. Even just touching the skin will cause poisoning."
A smile appeared on Yang Xiong's face. "Is that so? Then let everyone see what kind of poison this is. When it comes to using poison, can you even compare to me?"
Before Green Bamboo Viper could react, Yang Xiong squeezed hard with his left hand, and the dagger in Green Bamboo Viper's hand was directly twisted and broken.
Before Green Bamboo Viper could react, the broken half of the dagger in Yang Xiong's hand flew out like a sharp arrow, directly and forcefully piercing into Green Bamboo Viper's abdomen.
As Green Bamboo Viper had said, a pool of black blood immediately flowed out of her abdomen. It seemed the dagger was indeed highly poisonous, but unfortunately, it poisoned herself.
Green Bamboo Viper's face showed extreme surprise. "How is this possible? How can my poison have no effect on you?"
Yang Xiong ignored Green Bamboo Viper and held his long sword to fight the other three people.
Although the fat man was strong, the difference in strength between him and Yang Xiong was too great. Yang Xiong was extremely outstanding in both physical fitness and combat ability.
Soon, the fat man was pierced through the heart by Yang Xiong's sword, and even the long saber in his hand was directly broken.
The other two people were now terrified, a hint of despair in their eyes.
But they gritted their teeth and attacked Yang Xiong with all their might. Unfortunately, they were also quickly killed by Yang Xiong. One was pierced through the neck, and the other was pierced through the abdomen.
The remaining two people saw that the situation was bad and stopped attacking each other, turning to deal with Yang Xiong instead. Unfortunately, they were also quickly killed by Yang Xiong.
There were a total of 10 people on the arena, and basically all of them were killed by Yang Xiong. Only Green Bamboo Viper, who was severely poisoned, was still barely alive. It seemed her poison couldn't even be cured by herself.
Yang Xiong held his long sword, preparing to kill this last person.
Green Bamboo Viper quickly spoke, "I know I'm going to die, but can you at least let me die understanding? The poison on my dagger was refined from seven poisonous snakes in the outside world. Why did it have no effect on you?"
Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head. "I've been poisoned too many times since I was a child. There's no poison in this world that has any effect on me anymore. Perhaps I am the most poisonous person in this world."
Green Bamboo Viper looked resigned to death, muttering, "No wonder. A normal person would be poisoned just by their skin touching my dagger. How could it have no effect on you? So you yourself are also a user of poison."
Just as Yang Xiong was about to kill Green Bamboo Viper with a single sword strike, Green Bamboo Viper, who had appeared to be on the verge of death, suddenly changed. A smile actually appeared at the corner of her mouth, and multiple daggers appeared directly on her body.
The two were already very close. Green Bamboo Viper's attack was very sudden. It seemed she had used this move on many people before.
But Yang Xiong suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth. The long sword in his hand actually twirled into a sword flower, quickly blocking all the dagger attacks.
Just as Yang Xiong was a little flustered, Green Bamboo Viper quickly pounced towards Yang Xiong, as if making a final desperate strike.
But before Green Bamboo Viper could get close, Yang Xiong's left hand had already condensed a Rasengan, which he directly slammed onto Green Bamboo Viper's body. Green Bamboo Viper was already unable to use soul skills and couldn't resist the Rasengan's attack at all. Her entire body was directly sent flying by the Rasengan. It seemed all the bones in her body were probably shattered by the quake.
Green Bamboo Viper's eyes showed disbelief. "I didn't expect you were already prepared. Your self-created soul skills are actually even more powerful than your swordsmanship, and you were waiting for this final strike of mine the whole time, so that I would expose a weakness and you could kill me."
Yang Xiong smiled. "This is Slaughter City. No one trusts anyone else. I can only say your little trick is too low-level."
Green Bamboo Viper heard Yang Xiong's words and died with a face full of unwillingness.
The host saw that all nine people on the scene were dead and announced, "Congratulations to contestant Hegemon of the World for winning the Hell Slaughter Arena! This is contestant Hegemon of the World's first Hell Slaughter Arena match. We hope you continue to strive for greater success."
Yang Xiong didn't pay much attention to this. He took the items from the bodies of the few people and prepared to leave the Hell Slaughter Arena.
Normally, participants in the Hell Slaughter Arena matches need to take a nickname. Yang Xiong still took his nickname as Hegemon of the World.
After Yang Xiong found an empty house in the inner city and settled down, his originally calm expression suddenly became serious.
"What's going on? Why didn't I have this feeling when I first entered Slaughter City? After participating in the first Hell Slaughter Arena match, it seems my killing intent has become a little stronger."
Yang Xiong clearly felt that in the Hell Slaughter Arena, especially after killing everyone, it seemed like he had gained some kind of power. The killing intent he originally possessed had become much stronger, and this killing intent even had a certain impact on his body and martial soul.
Yang Xiong was very clear that normal people should not be able to feel this change, but Yang Xiong's body and martial soul were relatively special, especially after a year of fighting, he had gradually begun to master killing intent.
At this moment, Yang Xiong felt that this slaughter aura seemed to be of great help to him, subtly beginning to gradually affect his martial soul.
"This is a bit interesting. I wonder if it's the effect of the poisons in the Hell Slaughter Arena, or if there's something special about the Hell Slaughter Arena. It seems this Slaughter City is better than I imagined and has a greater effect on me than I thought."
Before preparing to come to Slaughter City, Yang Xiong had already prepared a large amount of food, clean water, and the like, and did not intend to come into contact with anything in Slaughter City, especially Bloody Mary, which he absolutely had to avoid.
In the following few days, Yang Xiong stayed alone in his room, thinking and adapting to the battles in Slaughter City. As for why Yang Xiong preferred to use a sword in the slaughterfield, on one hand, swordsmanship was relatively better at killing enemies, especially in the absence of defensive soul skills.
On the other hand, Yang Xiong wanted people to think he was a master swordsman, thus overlooking his true strength. In fact, Yang Xiong's true strength lay in his physical combat ability, or rather, his combat instinct.
...
Deep within Slaughter City, there was a huge room. In the room, there was a throne, and on the throne sat a very strange man.
This person was filled with a fierce aura, making it impossible to get close. His face was already covered with demonic patterns, making him look no longer like a normal person.
This person was the Slaughter King, the true ruler of Slaughter City.
The black-clothed girl suddenly entered the room. "Reporting to Lord Slaughter King, our people outside have investigated and found that this contestant Hegemon of the World should be from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
A strange smile appeared on the Slaughter King's face. "This is a bit interesting. This should be the first time a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has come to Slaughter City. Could it be that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also has other plans?"
The black-clothed girl quickly spoke, "Lord, although contestant Hegemon of the World has only achieved one victory, he actually killed eight people on the arena. This strength is simply a bit beyond imagination. Do we need to arrange people to target him?"
The Slaughter King thought for a moment before speaking, "Not necessary for now. I want to see what's so special about this disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that they dare to come to Slaughter City."
The Black-Clothed Girl said, "My lord, this Hegemon of the World contestant is clearly unusual. If we don't deal with him soon, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to handle him in the future."
The Slaughter King snorted coldly, "Isn't he just a little brat? I already said not to worry about him for now. Besides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is the wealthiest sect in the world, and their strength is not to be underestimated. Unless necessary, I don't want to make enemies with them."
...
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi and the others were also surprised as they looked at Lin Gong.
"Elder Lin, what did you say? Little Xiong went to Slaughter City?"
Lin Gong nodded, "I personally saw him disappear. He must have entered Slaughter City, no doubt about it."
Ning Fengzhi quickly asked, "Elder Lin, since you saw Little Xiong's situation, why didn't you stop him?"
A wry smile appeared on Lin Gong's face, "Sect Leader, you should know Little Xiong's personality. It's hard for anyone to stop him once he's made up his mind."
Ning Fengzhi just sat there stunned upon hearing this. He couldn't believe that their sect's genius, who had only left to hunt for a fifth soul ring, had actually gone to Slaughter City alone. One must know that Slaughter City is a place of no return; only two people have ever come out in the past hundred years.
Sword Douluo suddenly spoke, "Fengzhi, I knew about Yang Xiong going to Slaughter City, and I approve of him going. With his current combat power, physical fitness, and various methods, he should be able to return safely from Slaughter City."
"Of course, if something really goes wrong, I'll just make a trip to Slaughter City myself. I don't believe there's anyone in this world who can stop me, and I don't believe I can't do what Tang Hao could do."
