Chapitre 74: Chapter 74 Is this evidence enough?_1
After falling several meters, Xu Sheng landed on the ground, his vision almost engulfed by endless darkness. However, with his spiritual power, Xu Sheng could clearly see everything.
The path he was on stretched straight ahead, the sole entrance to the mysterious road, where cold winds blew incessantly from either side, adding a sense of mystery.
With an indifferent expression, Xu Sheng continued to walk forward. After a moment, a hoarse and gloomy voice suddenly echoed...
"Welcome to Slaughter City, a place filled with bloodshed and killing. Here, you will obtain everything you desire, but the price... will be your life!"
Upon hearing this voice, Xu Sheng silently stopped in his tracks and indifferently gazed at the still dark and extended path ahead, thinking, "Interesting, this Slaughter City does pique my interest."
Upon arriving here, Xu Sheng felt as if Slaughter City was built especially for him, and the desire to kill within him swelled increasingly...
The Nine-Hearted Begonia within him seemed to sense the tantalizing scent of blood and quivered in excitement...
Without a word, Xu Sheng continued to walk straight. Then, turning a corner, he walked for several hundred steps...
Finally, glimmers of light began to emerge from the pitch-black void ahead...
Quickening his pace, Xu Sheng stepped out of the passageway and into the bright light, where hundreds of Knights stood before him, clad in Black Armor, with Helmets perfectly concealing their faces, mounted on horses.
Red glows emerged from their helmets, and they tightly grasped broadswords several meters long, as if sizing up the newly arrived Xu Sheng, ready to turn him to dust at any moment.
Xu Sheng remained silent, meeting the gaze of the foremost Black Knight with his own icy stare...
This Black Knight's Helmet bore a square mark not found on the other Knights.
Clearly, he was the leader of this troop!
After a moment, the Black Knight leader casually flicked his broadsword, letting it gleam coldly, and then said in a cold voice, "If you wish to pass through Slaughter City, you must first defeat me!"
If it were an ordinary person entering Slaughter City, they would have to defeat his subordinates, the Black Knights.
However, feeling an extreme aura of danger emanating from Xu Sheng today, the leader decided to take him on personally!
If Xu Sheng couldn't defeat him, not only would he be barred from entering Slaughter City, but he might also leave his life behind!
Xu Sheng calmly said, "I have no interest in defeating you..."
Before Xu Sheng could finish, the Knight leader scoffed disdainfully, "You don't even have the courage to fight; you're not worthy of entering Slaughter City!"
Xu Sheng continued, "But what I really want is to kill you!"
As his words fell, a palpable killing intent burst forth from him and enveloped the Black Knights...
The Black Knights' horses, feeling this oppressive force, began to shake and neigh wildly in panic, seemingly terrified of Xu Sheng.
The horses became more and more unruly, eventually throwing all the Black Knights off their backs and running away in hordes toward the rear...
The Knight leader, witnessing his troops' chaos, was shocked. "What? This man... with just his presence, could render the horses they had used for so many years completely powerless?"
These were not ordinary horses but Revenant Horses that had drunk their fill of blood and been trained using their life force!
To him, they posed no threat at all!
This man had to be stronger than anyone he had ever encountered throughout these years, not even on the same level!
He couldn't let him get away with this any longer!
With a cold "hmpf," he mounted his horse and, clutching his broadsword, swung at Xu Sheng...
Xu Sheng summoned the Nine-Hearted Begonia, but no soul skill or Soul Ring appeared at his feet...
Xu Sheng thought to himself, "Could it be that even with the Nine-Hearted Begonia, I'm still being restrained?"
The mounted Knight leader, feeling completely ignored by Xu Sheng, shouted angrily, "Daring to ignore me, you're asking for death!"
The sharp blade came slashing directly at Xu Sheng's neck...
Seeing that Xu Sheng made no move, the Knight leader sneered contemptuously from the bottom of his heart, "What a greenhorn! Can't even react in time, so die then!"
The greatsword made a "whizzing" sound as it tore through the air, but the Xu Sheng before the Knight leader's eyes vanished into thin air!
"What! Where is he?" The Knight leader was shocked, urgently scanning his surroundings for any trace of Xu Sheng...
Behind the Knight leader, an icy voice suddenly sounded, "Are you looking for me?"
The vigilant Knight leader, hearing the voice behind him, quickly changed the direction of his greatsword and swung fiercely...
After several seconds of silence...
"Puchi," the delightful sound of flesh being slashed resonated, and the mounted Knight leader's eyes widened in shock, just as his horse beneath him, both plunged into stillness...
Then, the Knight leader and his horse burst open in the middle, splitting into blood-drenched halves before collapsing onto the ground like putrid flesh...
Holding the Ice Rose Sword tightly, Xu Sheng cast a glance over his shoulder, then turned to look at the other Black Knights, who were now in disarray...
He felt genuinely surprised inside, "The killing intent is even more condensed than that of ordinary people."
Xu Sheng now viewed these Black Knights entirely as prey, as nourishment for the Nine-Hearted Begonia!
What followed was a one-sided slaughter, as one Headless Knight after another fell to the ground in a chillingly systematic manner...
Within minutes, the once formidable group of hundreds of Black Knights, who had been so haughty on their steeds, lay completely still on the ground, the soil stained crimson...
As the saying goes, a family should stick together, and Xu Sheng wouldn't dream of sparing a single one!
Sheathing the Ice Rose Sword, Xu Sheng looked back, only to see below him a beautiful city enveloped in the stench of blood!
The next moment, he realized a problem...
Frowning slightly, "Entering Slaughter City seems to require proof, or else no one will guide me."
Xu Sheng remembered it was something like a skull with a number on it...
Unable to recall, Xu Sheng eyed the heads of the Black Knights and a gleam flashed in his eyes...
With this thing, it should work, right?
...
Engulfed in darkness, the city gates stood tall, getting closer, with two rows of Black Armored Warriors standing guard.
Approaching with measured steps, Xu Sheng held in his hand one of the Black Knights' heads, still dripping with fresh blood...
Coming closer, before Xu Sheng could speak, a beautiful woman dressed in black approached him with a smile, "Welcome to Slaughter City."
She gently pressed, "Please present your proof and number."
Xu Sheng responded coldly, "I have no proof, but is this enough?"
With that, he revealed the head of the Black Knight he held in his hand...
The woman in black stepped back a pace or two when she recognized the Knight's head in his grasp...
She exclaimed in astonishment, "This is...the head of a Black Knight! You, you managed to kill him on your own?"
Xu Sheng, still with an icy expression, inquired, "Is this thing sufficient proof?"
If this isn't enough, perhaps hers would be?
