Chapter 239: Enter Hell Road, evil Soul Master!_1
Indeed, the Slaughter King was no longer the Scarlet Nine-headed Bat King but was in fact, the Unparalleled Douluo Tang Chen!
Chu Qin had destroyed the supply center of the Slaughter Field, and no matter what, the Scarlet Nine-headed Bat King could no longer contend with Tang Chen!
Tang Chen glanced at the rolling molten lava, then transformed into a red light and burst toward the exit of Slaughter City!
As the Killing God, Tang Chen could freely enter and leave Slaughter City!
In the instant that Tang Chen left, a blue figure seized the fleeting opportunity, used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and followed Tang Chen, escaping!
"Eh, I can use my soul skills now!" Just at that moment, one of The Fallen exclaimed, having just instinctively executed a teleporting effect in a survival attempt!
"I can too!" Another one of The Fallen followed suit.
The inability to use soul skills in Slaughter City stemmed from the Slaughter King’s Forbidden Magic Domain!
Now that the Slaughter King had left, the forbidden effects naturally vanished.
Meanwhile! Inside Hell Road.
The place where Chu Qin and his party landed was a round platform with a diameter of about five meters, surrounded by darkness, with only a narrow path in front leading into the dark!
"As expected, this is Hell Road!" Chu Qin said with a slight smile.
"Brother Chu Qin, why do I feel some pain in my body!" At this moment, Wang Qiu’er spoke while her body convulsed.
"So do I!" Xiaowu followed.
"It’s okay, just endure it a bit!" Chu Qin replied, looking at Yan Yu in his arms, "Yan Yu, are you alright?"
"I’m fine, Young Master Chu!" Yan Yu said weakly, "This is the erosion by killing intent, something I’m already accustomed to!"
"Good!" Chu Qin nodded slightly, looking at the others, "How about you?"
"A little bit, but I can hardly feel it!" Zi Ji replied.
"Same here!" Ah Yin, Liena, and Azure Dragon followed. Ah Yin and the others naturally felt less pain due to their strength, and Liena, with her own killing intent, naturally suffered less erosion by it.
"Well, that is good!" Chu Qin nodded.
"Chu Qin, sorry, Medusa and I have depleted our energy!" Yun Yun and Medusa said, and then disappeared from the spot.
"It seems we must leave Hell Road quickly!" Chu Qin said.
"Hell Road? This place is Hell Road?" Liena exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes!"
"Who would have thought that Hell Road lies beneath Hell Slaughter Arena!"
"Be careful!"
At that moment, Zi Ji cried out.
Instantly, figures of The Fallen and the Enforcement Team fell from above their heads!
"Elemental Dragon Body - Ice!" Seeing this, Chu Qin immediately condensed ice in his hands and rushed toward the group!
In just an instant, the poor souls who thought they had escaped to safety were all turned into ice sculptures and plunged into the Black Abyss below!
"Let’s go, we need to follow this narrow path down!" Chu Qin said, looking at the path before them.
"I’ll take the lead!" Azure Dragon volunteered.
"Okay, be careful, Azure Dragon!" Chu Qin nodded.
"Everyone, grab onto my Blue Silver Grass so you won’t fall!" Ah Yin said as strands of Bluesilver Emperor Vine Filaments spread from her body and securely wrapped around everyone’s waists!
Then, Chu Qin brought up the rear, guarding against potential sneak attacks from the Enforcement Team and The Fallen chasing after them!
However, Chu Qin was clearly overly cautious.
At this moment, Slaughter City was about to be engulfed by magma. Most of the buildings had been covered by the lava, with only the high grounds of the Hell Slaughter Arena remaining unaffected, which were now packed with various members of The Fallen and the Enforcement Team.
But one could see that magma was still falling from within the mountain!
"What are we going to do, jumping down is death, and waiting here is also death!" A member of The Fallen exclaimed in horror as he looked at the flowing magma and then at the entrance to the Hell Road.
These individuals were consorters with both degeneration and evil, but faced with actual death, they were also afraid!
Just then, a sound resembling the workings of a mechanism was heard, and the mountain was suddenly sealed shut, halting the flow of the magma at that very moment.
"Wha, what’s happening?"
"Who closed the mechanism?"
"Have we been saved?"
Everyone was startled by this turn of events and couldn’t help but express their surprise.
"Look over there!"
All of a sudden, one of The Fallen yelled. They saw several figures clad in Enforcement Team uniforms standing on the raised grounds surrounding the Hell Slaughter Arena.
"Who are you?"
"What do you want to do?"
Some of The Fallen asked in amazement.
"You don’t need to worry, we are here to rescue you!" said the leader of the Enforcement Team members, his voice that of an old man, seemingly somewhat hoarse.
"Rescue us?"
"Yes, we’ve waited for this day, for this opportunity, for a very long time!" the old man from the Enforcement Team responded. As soon as he finished speaking, they took off their outer Enforcement Team armor, revealing their eerie faces!
The faces of these individuals were either extremely pallid, tinged with blood, or even a ghastly yellow!
Upon seeing this group, even The Fallen were shocked.
"You, are you not human?"
"No, we are human, and like you, we are Soul Masters, but are simply known as evil Soul Masters," the old man replied.
Indeed, this group was also comprised of Soul Masters, though their Martial Souls were extremely evil types, like Blood Infant and Puppetry, earning them a special moniker: "evil Soul Masters!"
Due to their difference from regular Soul Masters, evil Soul Masters were ostracized by the people, especially suppressed by the Martial Soul Hall. Fortunately, the Slaughter King had taken them in and made them part of the Enforcement Team.
Today, they finally saw their chance. With the Slaughter King killed by Chu Qin, Slaughter City was without a leader. Wasn’t this the perfect time for them to rise?
"So you are the notorious evil Soul Masters!" a tall Fallen coldly questioned.
This Fallen was no ordinary individual—he was the strongest person ranked first in the Hell Slaughter Arena, known as the Bloody Hand Butcher!
At this moment, seeing the Bloody Hand Butcher speak up, all of The Fallen turned their attention to him.
"Don’t make it sound so ugly! We just have a slightly unique way of cultivating!" the old man chuckled while stroking his beard, "Besides, you group of evil Fallen and us evil Soul Masters are essentially the same kind of people. We should join forces to establish our own nation, to stand against the empires on the outside, against the Martial Soul Hall, and create a kingdom of our own instead of hiding in this dark Slaughter City with no view of the sky!"
"Hmph, although we are The Fallen, we will not associate ourselves with you filthy evil Soul Masters!" the same tall Fallen said.
"What, the Slaughter King was about to kill you, and we saved your lives. Do you intend to repay kindness with malice?" the old man calmly looked at the Bloody Hand Butcher and spoke coldly, "You must realize that if I reactivate the mechanism, all several thousand of you will die here!"
