章 91: Against Bewitching Fox
After my meeting with the Slaughter King, I followed his orders, I participated from time to time at the Hell Slaughter Arena and I concentrated on stabilizing my domain, that was chaotic after my sword snapped.
Hu Liena needed 3 months to win 5 matches at the Arena, the truth was that I was worried about her. Her first matches even against weakling, she didn't overpower them, receiving some injures, when their rivals decided to play with her instead of fighting. I suppose that if you don't have much living expectancy, it will be best to die having a good time, her rivals may be the ones forced to participate, being near a year without participating.
I couldn't do anything in the Arena, so I followed her outside making sure that she survived. She seemed lucky enough and my help wasn't truly required, there was only one time that I brought her to her room after blacking out having killed all her enemies.
After her 4th match, she improved greatly and got used to how things worked in the City, having an easier time fighting, most of the men stopped trying something when she cut some, let's say, noble parts and let the men there suffering, ridiculing them. In a place like Slaughter City where death is common, you'll need to have a good imagination to make people scared, killing not good enough.
There was a time that I thought she turned crazy, letting herself be deranged by the City. She entered in a killing spree, killing anyone that entered her vision, in one day killing more than 200 people, truly a massacre. The strangest thing was the next day she seemed normal again, she was calm but had gained sharper facial features, with a tint of red in her beautiful eyes.
Today was finally the day, I had 8 victories at the Hell Slaughter Arena and I will face Hu Liena in there. Whenever I see her tight ass I couldn't help think it was a pity, but it was the safest way to gain the Slaughter King trust and my way to power. In the Slaughter King's meeting, her death hadn't seemed necessary, but I like safety and anyway it is not like she was very important in the big picture.
I walked to the Hell Slaughter Arena, after showing my ID, they let me through one of the entrances to the ring. Entering the ring I could see the other 9 people, effectively, one of them was Hu Liena, except her the only other that would require some precaution was a spirit king man.
Starting the match, there wasn't any clear objective as none of us was known enough to be cautious, nor we have a nickname at the Arena. This caused the match to be a true battle royale where the people attacked at the opponent nearer them.
Two foolish people tried to attack me, there was one that even did it without weapon [Really? In a place without spirit skills and you go for the hand to hand combat, how can someone be so stupid in a life and death situation?]
I swift swing of my sword was enough to cut both heads. It didn't pass a lot of time until all the opponents died, only leaving me and Hu Liena alive. She can be considered as the MVP, she with one dagger moved like an assassin, taking advantage of any opening from the opponent to kill him with the least of effort.
Once we were alone, Liena and I distanced 10 meters away, Liena looked straight at my eyes with an angry look "I will get my revenge for that time, you will die here. Don't think I am the same as that time" I could see a killing intent in her eyes, the same trick of that day won't work again, whatever, it wasn't like I need trick, in this place my sword and Intent was a complete cheat. I simply couldn't lose against her.
"How cute, the little fox grew claws" I teased her. She was a little mad, clenching her teeth, she started using her spirit. Her eyes starting shining with a pink glow and her hair turned red, the aura around her changed, becoming more dangerous.
Considering the people in the City she was really great, as she is now, she would be able to kill a spirit douluo in 1vs1 situation, of course, she will need to use all of her power, and if there were more I don't think that she will survive, she would need to use her wits.
I lifted my left hand signaling her to come. She charged to me while I stayed in my place invoking my black sword. With one dagger in her right hand, she thrust at me. With a lot of precision, I turned my sword and stopped her dagger clashing to the center of my sword's side. She didn't try to push forward, instead, she made a quick move with her left wrist that caused for another dagger to come from her sleeve, placing it in her left hand, she thrust the new dagger to my stomach.
At less than a centimeter to hit, I lifted right leg, my knee hitting her left hand causing her left hand to be pushed up, failing the attack. She didn't seem worried, leaning one her left leg, she twisted her body lifting her right leg and trying to kick my left side. [Not bad, even with a free hand, my own body is blocking me to stop her kick]
I put force on my left leg and lightly jumped back, her foot grazing me. I landed on my right foot, with a swift change of feet I pierced forward, she took the momentum of her kick, twisting her hip leaning to her left, blocking with her dagger my sword and parry it helping in her evasion.
She did and flip like doing a flying kick stabilizing her position, landing with both of her feet, she then backed creating distance between us "For a lecherous bastard, you're not so bad" she said with a calm face.
I smiled at her "If I was truly a bastard, I would have fucked silly that day. You're not bad neither" This making her blush.
She charged again to me, she tried to pierce me, thrusting her right dagger, but I dodged leaning to the right, slashing at her right arm. She quickly retracted her right arm, at the same time thrusting her left dagger to my right side. With my right hand I caught her wrist stopping her attack, she kicked with her right leg, under her shoe appearing a blade. I turned my sword blocking her hidden blade. She started slashing and thrusting with her right dagger while we were blocked in that position.
In a closed position like this, the dagger showed its better progress rather than a sword, blocking the movement of my sword and its power only being able to block and evade her attacks. Finally, I freed her left hand and jumped back trying to create distance. She knew my intention followed me, maintaining her advantage at close distance. She started quickly slashing with both daggers at great speed. For a rookie, it may have seemed like an uncontrolled barrage of attack, but all her attacks were very swift and precise not letting any opening for me to attack while keeping close distance. I was pushed to a defensive position only evading and blocking.
This continued for some while, until I got used to her style, and started to see opportunities to attack, but at the same time, she also was learning from me, blocking my attacks and counter-attacking. A smile appeared in both of our mouths, enjoying the thrill of the fight, risin' up to the challenge of our rival.
I was really enjoying this time and she was really I good spar partner, however, this wasn't a spar, this was a death battle were only one of us could leave alive. It was time to be a little more serious, the truth was that I lowered my basic strength at her level, she had a very good flexibility, battle scene, and strength, thanks to her beast spirit and talent, even with that it couldn't be compared with my physique, this body had years of training, adding Tang San fire and ice poison the strength of this body was close to the douluo rank, while Liena was close a spirit sage.
I put all my strength on my left arm, veins popping doing the tension and slashed upwards to Liena, she noticed something different, her smile disappearing from her face, she quickly crossed both daggers trying to block the slash. She couldn't receive completely the new strength of the attack and even if my slash failed to cut her it was enough to push away both of her hands, being unable to answer to my next attack. I flicked my sword and thrust it to her heart. The waited piercing didn't come, instead, my sword was stopped by a furry white thing that stood between Liena and me.
I decided to back jumping a few meters. The furry thing, surged from Liena's back, specifically from her hip, it was a long fox tail of 3 meters long. By its defense, it didn't seem to be part of her spirit, it was an external spirit bone.
"You can be proud of yourself, you pushed me to use my trump card. I was trying to keep it a secret. You don't have any chance to win now" She said confidently.
"You finally show you're true power, I was starting to be bored. But! Don't think for a moment that this is all my strength!" I shouted. I decided to use only my Killing Intent, this specialized in killing using multiple attacks with great speed and power, while my Death Intent focused on swift and devouring attacks, eliminating all.
A raging black aura started surrounding my sword. "Sword intent? How can you be capable of using it in this City? It's impossible!" She said shocked. It didn't surprise me her knowledge of sword intent, as the disciple of Bibi Dong she had access to a lot of information, moreover, her brother has a sword spirit and had some attainments in sword comprehension.
I charged to her, both my hands holding my sword. At a much greater speed than before, I started slashing at her, her daggers weren't strong enough to stand my attack, she discovered when one of her daggers was broken by my sword, she started using her tail as a shield to block the attack. My attack was so strong and quick that she was pushed to a defensive position without any mean to counter-attack. After some slashed I finally saw an opening, piercing forward my sword I aimed to that opening, but I was stopped by her tail, somehow her reaction increased and she could close that opening, at the same time she threw me a dagger, forcing me to jump away, stopping my attack to evade.
Observing her, she had two new daggers in her hands, it seems that she had prepared substitutes. There was also a strange pattern in the form of a black eye on her forehead.
"To force me so much" She sighed "I withdraw what I said before about you being a bastard. You gained my respect, you're the 3rd mam to accomplish it, you can be proud. I would like our meeting to be in other circumstances, we could have been friends. I will honor you with my full strength" She said very seriously.
I put my right hand on my face "Nht!" I started laughing "Hahahaha. You really think for even a moment that you can win over me, don't be naive. I never took you seriously, you're only enjoyment for me. I could have finished this any time" I grinned "Let me show you what is true strength"
I position in a piercing stance, holding my sword with both hands, a black aura emanating from it. The aura extended around me arriving at Liena "<Sword Domain: Slaughter>" the combination of both Killing and Death, now condensed as one domain. The shocked face of Liena was priceless, she was scared shitless. She started trembling, her legs giving up and falling to the floor.
"This is my true power" I said grinning at her.
"D-d-don't kill me. I-i-I'm part of Sp-Spirit Hall. I will give you anything that you want" Facing my domain, she couldn't think straight, her mentality to weak to endure. She was someone that couldn't surpass Hell's Road alone, even after staying 3 years in the City and 100 victories in the Arena, now she can't be compared to her future self, how could she endure my full might.
"In the Arena, there are no losers, only winners or dead. I already knew you, Hu Liena, part of the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall" She opened her eyes shocked about me knowing her identity "Thanks for all, your sacrifice is appreciated" I finished my words and slashed at Liena, the cut was so fast that it was difficult to even follow, the light in Liena's eyes disappearing.
I approached her dead body and with a swift swing, I cut her head. I took her head and left the Ring as the winner, with 9 victories. This day I gained my nickname, the people in Slaughter City started fearing the Slaughter Sword.
