Chapter 138 Slaughter City
A week later.
Lin Ye and Hyotei arrived at an unnamed town.
The town is small, but as you approach it, it gives you a gloomy and dark feeling.
The most intense and eerie atmosphere was found in a tavern in the town.
The two walked toward the tavern.
"Be careful when you go in. Xue Di and I aren't here, so don't go looking for trouble..." Bing Di muttered, like a mother hen.
For the first time ever, this proud and aloof girl showed such concern for a human being.
With a creak!
The old wooden door was pushed open.
The two entered the dimly lit tavern.
Inside the tavern, the dim lights flickered.
Seven or eight patrons sat scattered about, each with a fierce and menacing expression. They silently held their glasses, drinking their beverages without making a sound. The air seemed to freeze, filled with an unsettling silence.
Lin Ye walked straight to the counter.
The waiter behind the counter asked in a flat tone, "What would you like to order?"
Lin Ye: "Where's the entrance?"
Concise and clear, getting straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, the waiter's expression changed slightly, and he carefully examined Lin Ye and Bing Di.
The gazes of the other people in the tavern also changed.
"Heh, another one who wants to go in and die." A burly man with a scarred face chuckled coldly.
The others also looked at Lin Ye with the same eyes one would use to look at a dying man.
Having lived here for a long time, they knew about the Killing City, but dared not go in, knowing all too well that no one who went in ever came out alive.
At this moment, the waiter handed Lin Ye a glass of wine and said, "Drink this."
The wine was scarlet and smelled strongly of blood.
The waiter's meaning was clear: only by drinking this cup of human blood could one enter the Killing City.
Lin Ye knew that this substance was blood, and human blood at that. Besides human blood, it might also contain other unknown substances.
You can't just drink this stuff to prove your courage; that would be completely unnecessary.
We still need to be wary of the unknown.
"I don't want to drink this. Just tell me where the mouthpiece is."
The waiter remained silent.
The others burst into laughter.
"You little brat, you haven't even grown your hair yet, and you dare to come here?" the scarred man mocked.
"Hahaha, this is not a place for you. Go home and drink your mother's milk."
Others also mocked and insulted him.
These people are in a near-distorted mental state, and at this moment they have found an outlet for their repression.
Unfortunately, Lin Ye is not someone to be trifled with, nor will she allow them to manipulate her at will.
With a thought, Lin Ye released his martial spirit.
The demon appeared silently.
Its face was completely blurred, with only a pair of slightly eerie red eyes visible. Wisps of black mist drifted across its body, making it look extremely strange and filled with a sinister and evil aura.
With the appearance of the demon, the temperature inside the tavern seemed to drop a few degrees.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and everyone became alert.
The demon lunged at the scarred man.
The demon stretched out a hand, which emitted an eerie, ghostly light.
The moment that hand touched Scarface, a powerful force surged forth.
Scarface's soul was forcibly ripped from his body by the demon.
Scarface's soul struggled and begged for mercy in mid-air, letting out a piercing scream, but all of this was in vain.
The demon opened its abyssal maw, and with the first bite, the light of Scarface's soul dimmed considerably. Then, the demon tossed the soul in its hand into its mouth and swallowed it whole.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze, leaving only the chilling chewing sounds of the demon.
The tavern was eerily quiet; no one dared to breathe.
Some people turned and ran towards the door, trying to escape this terrible place.
The demon immediately pounced and then devoured the man's soul in the same way.
"Let's fight him!" Seeing that they couldn't escape, the group had no choice but to fight Lin Ye with fierce expressions.
Less than fifteen minutes.
Several men lay sprawled in the tavern, their expressions a mixture of fear and rage. They bore no wounds, but were undeniably dead.
Apart from Hyotei and Lin Ye, the only other living people in the entire tavern were the waiters.
Lin Ye looked at him coldly. "I don't want to ask where the entrance is a third time."
The waiter was trembling with fear, almost wetting himself. He had no doubt that if he continued to dawdle, this person would not hesitate to turn him into nourishment as well.
He pressed a button under the counter, which immediately triggered a hidden mechanism.
A cave leading down into the ground appeared.
Seeing this, Lin Ye was about to step forward when he felt his sleeve being pulled. Turning around, he saw that Hyotei's face was filled with even greater worry.
"Let me go in with you," Hyotei said.
Lin Ye shook his head and decisively refused.
What a joke! The City of Slaughter is the territory of the God of Slaughter. In the realm of gods, suppressing beasts is politically correct. If Hyotei were to actually enter the City of Slaughter, wouldn't she be walking right into a trap?
Perhaps the God of Asura wouldn't deign to attack the Ice Emperor. But Lin Ye didn't want to take that risk.
"Don't be silly, just stay home and wait for me to come back." Lin Ye said, squatting down slightly and gently pecking Hyotei's red lips.
After saying that, he turned around and jumped into the cave without hesitation.
After falling about ten meters, I felt my feet touching solid ground, and there was a downward-sloping tunnel in front of me.
Lin Ye strode inside, and after a while, a cold voice came from all directions: "Welcome to the City of Slaughter. This is the capital of hell, a world of slaughter. Here, you can get anything you want, but the price is your life."
Continuing to walk, Lin Ye soon arrived at a large gate.
I pushed open the door, and light shone in.
Before their eyes were over a hundred soldiers clad in armor and wielding heavy armor, with the leader seated on a tall horse.
The man spurred his warhorse forward a few steps, raised his lance, and said, "I am the Dread Knight Scott. You have broken the rules, so you must accept the punishment. Defeat me, and you will be qualified to enter the City of Slaughter."
His voice was deep and extremely cold.
After saying that, he spurred his horse and charged towards Lin Ye.
But before he had run very far, Scott suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if he had been pricked by a needle.
Then he fell off the horse and landed headfirst on the ground, rolling several times.
Scott scrambled to his feet, realizing that the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with, and he didn't dare to be reckless and cause any more trouble.
He tossed a black token to Lin Ye with a wave of his hand.
Lin Ye reached out and took it. He looked at it and saw a skull pattern on it, with a string of numbers below it: 5418.
"You can go in now. This is your identification document in the Killing City. Someone will guide you at the city gate."
