"Xiaosan, Xiaosan..."
Suddenly, Tang San heard a series of shouts.
He turned to look at the white light screen, certain that the voice came from beyond the screen.
After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and walked out.
The scene shifted.
Tang San had already left the Slaughter Space.
This place was familiar to him, dimly-lit, with a pungent stench of blood—it was Hell Road.
Not far away, he spotted a familiar figure; it was indeed Tang Chen.
At this moment, facing him with a smile, Tang Chen said to Tang San, "Xiaosan, congratulations. You have successfully completed the trial of Hell Road and earned the right to participate in the Asura God's assessment."
"Do I still qualify to take part in the Asura God's assessment?" A bitter smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of Tang San's mouth.
Thinking about his situation, he felt his life had become shrouded in darkness.
"Why wouldn't you?"
"Didn't I tell you before, as long as one reaches the end of Hell Road and obtains the Killing God Field, they are qualified..."
"But, I did not obtain the Killing God Field!"
"What did you say?"
Tang Chen's expression suddenly changed, and in just two or three steps, he reached Tang San, placing a hand on him.
He needed to see for himself whether it was as Tang San had described.
Tang San offered no resistance, allowing him to proceed.
The next moment, he distinctly felt an extremely unfamiliar force enter his body, undoubtedly Tang Chen's spiritual power.
But, this force quickly encountered resistance.
The Slaughter Qi within Tang San sensed the provocation and fought back!
"Ah!"
Tang Chen suddenly cried out in pain, covering his head and stumbling several steps backward.
"Old Ancestor, how do you feel?"
Tang San's expression changed; he had not expected the Soul of Slaughter, forged from the convergence of countless Slaughter Qi, to be so powerful that even Tang Chen suffered upon contact.
This is messed up... isn't it?
"What is that, what exactly is it?"
"Why doesn't your body have the Asura God's Divine Power?"
"Divine Power, where is it?"
Tang Chen, feeling a bit better, stared intently at Tang San and asked.
His voice was full of surprise and confusion.
I'd really like to know where the Divine Power went... Tang San thought to himself, then solemnly replied, "This is what I obtained in the Slaughter Space. It wasn't the Killing God Field, but a dense Soul of Slaughter condensed from the Slaughter Qi."
"Soul of Slaughter, what kind of thing is that?"
"Well... it's a soul formed by the condensation of countless Slaughter Qi; you can think of it as something similar to that Nine-Headed Dark Golden Bat King in your body. They are foreign and constantly wish to take over our bodies."
After listening to Tang San, Tang Chen grew even more puzzled, "But how could the Slaughter Space turn out like this, where is the Shura Divine Power?"
Tang San: "..."
I want to know why that is more than you.
"Wait, I remember now!"
All of a sudden, Tang Chen's expression changed, a mix of realization and fear, "It must have been Qin Xiao, the changes here must be related to him."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that Qin Xiao has also been here?"
Tang San suddenly widened his eyes, filled with shock.
"Yes. Qin Xiao once came here and walked the Hell Road. Do you still remember the legend from the Slaughter City?"
"Legend? Are you saying that the feat of winning a thousand battles in one day was created by Qin Xiao?"
"That's right, it was him. I didn't know his name before, not until the journey to Sea God's Island, that's when I came to realize, it was Qin Xiao."
Tang Chen's voice was extremely complex.
He was filled with regret.
If only he had known what he knew today, he would have strangled Qin Xiao in the cradle, no matter the cost.
Alas, what a pity.
The opportunity was missed and it would never return, and Qin Xiao was no longer someone he could easily manipulate.
"That's right, it must be so. The anomaly within the Slaughter Space definitely can't be separated from Qin Xiao."
"Only he would go around setting traps for us to fall into."
Tang San felt an itching hatred.
If that's the case, then the truth becomes clear.
He swore that if this wasn't Qin Xiao's doing, he would write his own name Tang backward.
"That damn scoundrel!" Tang Chen's voice seemed to be squeezed out through clenched teeth, terribly cold.
His hatred for Qin Xiao intensified; even flaying and deboning Qin Xiao would not quench the hatred in his heart.
After a while.
Tang San finally calmed down.
After all, what had happened had happened, and he had no choice but to move forward.
"Old Ancestor, please calm down as well. Anger won't solve the problem.
Do you see any chance for me now?"
Tang San looked eagerly at Tang Chen.
In turn, Tang Chen gradually calmed down after his persuasion. He gazed deeply at Tang San, pondering for a moment, "Whether there's a chance or not is not for me to say. Let's leave this matter to the Asura God to decide."
After hearing Tang Chen's words, Tang San was somewhat surprised, "Do you have confidence in persuading the Asura God?"
"What are you thinking..."
Tang Chen replied irritably, "If I could persuade the Asura God, why don't I just ask him to eliminate Qin Xiao directly? Why let us grandfather and grandson suffer like this?"
Tang San was speechless.
Tang Chen turned around, "Let's go, I'll take you to try."
Tang San followed closely behind.
...
This was the end of the Blood River.
A huge statue reaching thirty to fifty meters high entered Tang San's view.
The statue wore blood-colored armor, holding a blood-colored longsword pointed towards the sky, extremely majestic and formidable.
Only, its face wore a ferocious mask, which at a single glance sent chills all over one's body.
However, that was only part of it.
The lower half of the statue was submerged in the Blood River.
