chapter 4

In most realms, the aftermath of a brutal confrontation in an arena like the one Yue Li had just experienced would leave a palpable aura of killing intent in the air. It would linger as a haunting reminder of the violence and death that had transpired, striking fear and unease into the hearts of those who bore witness or were involved, It may even stick to objects or people.

However, what made Slaughter City so unique and unsettling was not just the presence of killing intent but the way it behaved. The typical experience was for this malevolent force to merely hang in the atmosphere, a weighty, oppressive reminder of the battle's brutality. It would seep into the surroundings, casting a grim pallor over everything it touched.

Yet, in this grim and unforgiving place, the killing intent did not merely hang in the air; it was absorbed. It was as if the very city had an insatiable hunger for the violence and death that occurred within its boundaries. It clawed its way into the victor's very being, merging with their essence, infusing them with a sinister energy that was more than just a lingering memory.

For Yue Li, as she stepped out of the arena, she found herself not only standing amidst the lifeless bodies of her adversaries but also bearing the weight of their killing intent within her. It was as if their malice and aggression had become a part of her, an unsettling resonance with the grim spirit of Slaughter City.

In this city, the boundaries between life and death, between the living and the aftermath of violence, were blurred in ways that defied conventional understanding. The very essence of the place was shrouded in darkness, and its uniqueness lay not only in the brutality of its battles but in the eerie way it absorbed and embodied the malevolence that thrived within its confines.

Other cultivators may take it as a special occurrence, but Yue li had a lot more experience than that. She immediately felt that things may not be so simple here.

The fact that they presented a beverage calling it the morning dew right after the killing intent was absorbed in her body made her even sure that their was something wrong.

Understanding that the situation was not simple, she calmly accepted the drink from the secretary of the slaughter king.

There are two types of people that can use spirit rings skills beside the slaughter king, the secraterys, and the enforcers.

" Number 6806, congratulations on winning the first round in the Arena. The rules of the inner city are simple, no rules.

The secretary ended her presentation with a professional smile, one can be sure about the experience she had in that.

Yue Li responded with a small smile and a nod then continued her path, marching through the streets of the inner city she soon found a difference, there were several districts with good ones and bad ones and it doesn't take a genius to know who is strong and who is weak.

For Yue Li, this was a unique opportunity. In the inner city of Slaughter City, the boundaries were blurred, and there were no constraints on her actions. It was a place where she could freely conduct her experiments, push the limits of her abilities, and uncover the mysteries of cultivation in a way that no other place had allowed.

With a newfound sense of purpose and excitement, Yue Li marched through the streets of the inner city, her steps filled with determination. She could sense the stark divisions between the strong and the weak, and the prospect of conducting her research in such an environment filled her with a sense of exhilaration. In Slaughter City, she had found a canvas upon which to explore the depths of human potential and the boundaries of her own abilities.

It didn't take long for her to find her target, the feeling of soul emperor with bestial temperament, all alone in a mansion with the ones beside him being empty.

' The perfect target ' was all Yue Li thought before making her way toward him.
