Tang Chen was stunned, then suddenly burst into loud laughter.
"Kill me??"
"Kid, do you want to hear what you're actually saying? Even if you are strong, you still can't use your Soul Power in Slaughter City!"
"And I, the King of Slaughter, am not bound by that restriction."
At this point, Tang Chen spread his arms with a smile on his face, as if enjoying the special status that came with his exalted position as the King of Slaughter.
Lin Yi looked at him with an indifferent expression:
"So what? I never had Soul Power to begin with, so what restriction is there to speak of?"
"What?"
Tang Chen thought he had heard wrong.
Lin Yi couldn't be bothered to repeat himself a second time, and instead he repeated:
"I've said, my time is limited, a fair trade awaits, and if it's ruined because of your non-cooperation, then I'll destroy your Slaughter City."
Upon hearing this, everyone in Soul City instantly respected him.
It was just a Black Advanced Level reward, but Senior Lin Yi still upheld the principles of fair trade, even if it meant destroying Slaughter City as the cost.
In their eyes, Lin Yi's image immediately became more vivid.
After all, this is why Lin Yi was able to give them a sense of security! Who wouldn't want to love and trust a strong and principled god like him, who didn't concern himself with the magnitude of a matter, or whether it suited his status, but focused only on adhering to his own rules?
Senior Lin Yi has always been a true man, a god whom they admired for both his character and ability!
...
As Tang Chen listened to the harsh words Lin Yi had thrown out, his anger raged and his face showed that he couldn't bear the insult.
"Enough talk, then let you contribute your strength to the foundation of this Slaughter City."
As Tang Chen finished speaking, the red light on his body grew even stronger.
He stretched out his right hand and a blood-red great sword began to take shape, solidifying in his grasp.
At this moment, the aura of slaughter surrounding Tang Chen instantly soared to its peak.
And his whole being seemed to be sublimated, the very air around him transformed by the presence of the sword.
Lin Yi fixed his gaze on the Asura Sword in Tang Chen's hand, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that the man before him was also one who had passed Shura's Eighth Trial.
If Tang Chen had the opportunity to participate in Shura's Ninth Trial, he would definitely have been the best among those three from the past and wouldn't be stuck in this wretched place as the King of Slaughter.
Moreover, he would possess the true Asura Sword itself.
Yes, the Asura Sword in Tang Chen's hand was not the original; the true Asura Sword was still in the hands of the Asura God.
Of course, Lin Yi's system prize pool contained as many one-to-one clones of the true Asura Sword as needed.
"Die."
Tang Chen advanced towards Lin Yi, with invisible killing intent gathering around him in the space, all emanating from the essence of Slaughter City, the Spring of Sorrow.
But in the next moment, Tang Chen's face showed a change of expression.
Lin Yi, too, stretched out his right hand, and a strong red light quickly bloomed in his palm, followed by a blood-red great sword identical to Tang Chen's appearing in his hand.
Tang Chen stood there dumbfounded.
Because of Shura's Eighth Trial, he could use his Asura Divine Power to transform his Spirit Halo Hammer into the Asura Sword, so the Asura Sword in his hand was actually the Hao Tian Hammer!
At this moment, he looked down at the Asura Sword in his hand and then at Lin Yi's, feeling utterly foolish, truly foolish.
What kind of path was this youngster on?! Why did he also have the Asura Sword!?
If it weren't for the sense of slaughter aura from the opponent's Asura Sword, Tang Chen might have thought the one in Lin Yi's hand was a fake!
But the truth was, Tang Chen even felt that Lin Yi's Asura Sword seemed more real than his own... even though neither was the original Asura Sword.
However, at least the one in Lin Yi's hand was a pure Asura Sword Martial Soul, while the one in Tang Chen's hand was just a transformation of the Hao Tian Hammer!
The sudden twist left Tang Chen stunned where he stood, feeling even more embarrassed...
After being busy for most of his life, the "Asura Sword" in his hands could be said to be his entire accomplishment, yet it was overshadowed by the Asura Sword in this young man's hands.
What was going on!?
Even with his composure, Tang Chen felt completely broken by Lin Yi!
He gritted his teeth and, roaring, charged toward Lin Yi with the "Asura Sword" in his hand bursting into a brilliant blood-red light, a ceaseless killing intent gathering on Tang Chen from the Spring of Sorrow.
In the end, he was a man who had passed Shura's Eighth Trial and could control a small part of the Asura Divine Power.
The "Asura Sword" radiated an unmatched momentum in his hands, and with a powerful strike, he heavily chopped down on Lin Yi!
"Clang—"
"Why aren't you fighting back?"
Tang Hao looked at Lin Yi in surprise.
But what surprised him even more was yet to come—
He stared, dumbstruck, at the spot where the Asura Sword had struck Lin Yi, where the skin was so tough that not a single scratch had appeared!
The expression on the young man's face was extremely calm, calm as if he knew that he would not be injured no matter what!
"How is this possible?"
Tang Chen's hands shook, and the next moment, to his equal surprise, a burst of Damage Rebound exploded from Lin Yi's body like a nuclear reaction!
Holy shit!
Tang Chen's body was instantly sent flying, rolling several times on the ground like a spinning top with a tremendous noise.
Only when he braked harshly by scraping his face against the ground did his momentum ease, and Tang Chen lay there, in so much pain it felt like his whole skeleton might fall apart.
Lin Yi chuckled to himself.
Even in Slaughter City, one must not forget to loot after dealing damage, of course, he had to stand there and let you strike first.
After all, in Soul Land, I drop loot when I'm cut, and Bi Bidong… Tang Chen is no exception!
Lin Yi glanced at the panel.
[Health Drop: 514376]
[Remaining Health: 899955665731]
[Damage Level: Gold (Junior)]
[Random Reward: Asura Sword Trial Card*3 months]
[Host Reward: Asura Sword*1 (Permanent)]
No wonder Tang Chen was so miserable, it turned out to be a Gold Rank Damage Rebound!
Under such a level of Damage Rebound, even a character with a defense as strong as Di Tian's couldn't withstand the momentum, let alone Tang Chen with his mortal body.
As his gaze swept lower, the rewards left Lin Yi momentarily stunned.
Holy moly, I was just thinking about the Asura Sword, and there it is, and permanently at that?!
It has to be said that Tang Chen is indeed powerful, starting with Golden Damage, of course, there's also the boost from a portion of the Asura Divine Power and the killing aura of Slaughter City.
Lin Yi looked at the Golden Light Sphere in his hand, a smirk curling up at the corner of his mouth, and for the moment, seized it in his hand.
He walked toward Tang Chen.
Meanwhile, Tang Chen, lying on the ground, also slowly lifted his dirt and wound-covered, woebegone face; he watched Lin Yi approach, his body trembling uncontrollably and his heart sinking into despair.
It's over, Slaughter City has really gotten into big trouble!
How did a god just happen to visit his Slaughter City out of nowhere?!
Having lived for so many years, Tang Chen had never seen anyone use their body to receive his powerful strike, not only emerging unharmed but also with such a strong damage feedback!
He could only think of the gods.
Besides the gods, what else could there be? Taking the entire Soul Land into account, Tang Chen didn't believe there was another human being stronger than him…
But just then, as Lin Yi approached, an even more astonished expression appeared on Tang Chen's face.
He saw the blood-red sword in the young man's hand shedding its "skin" as if it was peeling.
The dark red surface of the sword seemed to melt away, revealing an even brighter crimson, the fierce and dazzling blood-red light flickering on the blade, heavy with the presence of a god.
Moreover, the aura of slaughter on it had solidified to a terrifying degree!
This was the real body of the Asura Sword!!
Tang Chen watched in horror as the impassive young man slowly approached, the figure coming into his view seeming to transform.
A dark red suit of armor seemed to materialize on him, the uncontrollable presence of the gods making the entire Space of Slaughter City tremble and verge on collapse!
