"I've seen enough. These Evil Soul Masters have shown almost all their tricks, and those still hiding probably aren't much different."
Watching the victorious Evil Soul Master below absorb the Soul Power of the surrounding corpses as if addicted to drugs, Xu Yang slowly stood up and walked towards the front desk of the Hell Slaughter Arena. He gently tapped the bar, placed his Identity Token on the table, and said to the scantily clad server inside the bar, "Please sign me up for the next match!"
The server glanced at Xu Yang, took the token, registered Xu Yang's information, and returned it to him.
Xu Yang tossed the token into his Storage Soul Tool and turned to walk towards the arena, waiting for his next opponent. Before long, nine people entered the arena. When they saw Xu Yang, their eyes turned bloodshot, like hungry wolves. They were sure he was a newcomer, and such a person was a lamb to the slaughter for them.
"They really see me as easy prey!"
A cold light flashed in Xu Yang's eyes. The viscous Sun Soul Power in his body surged through his meridians. The Sun Spirit was summoned and hovered behind his head, its brilliant golden Light illuminating the entire Hell Slaughter Arena. Even the originally turbid air became fresh at that moment.
The nine people in the arena were also incredulous. Everyone who came to Slaughter City possessed an evil aura. Where had they ever seen such a bright Spirit? However, they immediately laughed, because this type of elemental Spirit relied more on Soul Skills. Without Soul Rings, it was basically useless.
Xu Yang smiled, and two Fine Steel Tang Blades appeared in his hands. With a movement, he rushed towards the nine people.
The reason he didn't use Soul Bones was that exposing Soul Bones in Slaughter City was extremely dangerous. Although Soul Skills couldn't be used here, it didn't mean Soul Bone Skills couldn't be used. Soul Bones could greatly enhance their combat power, and every time a Soul Bone appeared, it would cause the Soul Masters in Slaughter City to fight and snatch it. Therefore, Soul Bones were both trump cards and death warrants.
The nine people pounced from nine different directions, holding various weapons in their hands. Seeing this, Xu Yang remained exceptionally calm. He used Ladder Cloud Ascent, and his feet seemed to have springs, instantly bringing him in front of one of his opponents.
In the next moment, Xu Yang's Tang Blade in his right hand chopped off the person's head. The reason he chose such a laborious method instead of directly slitting the throat was that he had noticed during his previous observation that the Evil Soul Masters here didn't die immediately after having their throats slit. Instead, they would choose to perish together with their opponents at the moment of their death.
At the same time, his left hand flicked, and Sun Soul Power spread out like ripples along the Tang Blade, knocking back all the others who were pouncing at him. Then, the Tang Blade in his right hand disappeared, replaced by a Soul Tool Handgun, and he pulled the trigger on the others.
Bang! Bang! Bang!…
After eight gunshots, only three people were left alive in the entire arena, including Xu Yang. It wasn't that he had shown mercy, but that the remaining people were all Soul Emperors and Soul Saints, with powerful senses and quick reactions. The moment Xu Yang pulled out his gun, they reacted and dodged.
Compared to these three people, Xu Yang was superior in all aspects except for his Soul Power, which was slightly weaker. After all, he had been consciously tempering his body and refining his spirit for many years, absorbed two Soul Bones, and consumed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew Immortal Herbs, making his physique and Spiritual Power far surpass everyone present.
"As expected, the power of a level three Soul Tool Handgun is still too weak. The power and speed of the bullets are not enough!"
Looking at the handgun in his right hand, Xu Yang sighed quietly, planning to upgrade the Soul Tool Handgun after returning. With a flip of his hand, the handgun disappeared, and the Tang Blade reappeared. He looked at the three vigilant people, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes, and his figure turned into a bolt of lightning as he rushed out.
Under the effect of the Sun Spirit, Scarlet Gold Fire was wrapped around the blade. The swordsmanship he had learned from Chen Xin's Seven Kill Swordplay was used, and his exquisite swordsmanship easily knocked away the weapons in the hands of the two Soul Emperors, chopping off their heads.
But his right shoulder was also cut open by the Soul Saint's greatsword.
Xu Yang exerted force with his feet, pulling away from the Soul Saint. He glanced at the large gash on his right shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief. The wound wasn't deep, only cutting through the Skin and a little Muscle, without injuring the Bone, so it wouldn't affect his combat.
With just this bit of injury, he could recover in at most two days using healing secret techniques.
However, he also knew that he couldn't get injured again, at least not with injuries that would affect his combat power.
The most dangerous time in the entire Slaughter City wasn't in the Hell Slaughter Arena, but in the stage of leaving the Slaughter Field after winning, when he was injured and at his weakest. He had only been here for a day and had already seen more than one Evil Soul Master killed by others in the inner city for this reason.
The moment Xu Yang pulled away, the Soul Saint poured a large amount of Soul Power into his greatsword, exerted force with his feet, and directly soared into the air, using a simple Power Chop. In this kind of life-and-death battle, moves couldn't be fancy; the simpler, the better.
Xu Yang met him with both blades, and the Sun Soul Power in his body surged.
Clang!
The sound of metal rang out, and the Soul Saint's figure was sent flying backward, his arms holding the greatsword trembling slightly, caused by the enormous force transmitted from Xu Yang's blades. In the shocked eyes of all the spectators, the Soul Saint was actually completely suppressed by the Quasi Soul King in this collision.
Light flowed rapidly on Xu Yang's blades, and the blade light flickered like the Sun.
The moves clearly looked very simple, yet they also seemed exquisitely abnormal, extremely contradictory. It gave people only one feeling, and that was fast, fast to the extreme, so fast that people would be killed before they could react.
In the Soul Saint's incredulous gaze, Xu Yang left more than a dozen cuts on his body almost instantly. He wanted to dodge, and he wanted to move, but in the next second, he felt his line of sight shift downward, and then he discovered that he had been chopped into dozens of pieces and had fallen to the ground.
Before his head could roll far, Xu Yang stepped on it, and the skull shattered like an egg.
Such a ruthless fighting style made the audience gasp. Although the Hell Slaughter Arena was full of killings and various ways to die, no one had ever chosen to cut their opponents into dozens of pieces. For a time, everyone understood that this Nine Four One Six was a ruthless person.
After the last Soul Saint was dealt with, streams of Soul Power surged out from the nine corpses on the ground and poured into Xu Yang's body. He didn't stand on ceremony, accepting all of it and beginning to refine it within his body.
However, he could also feel that more than 90% of the Soul Power was absorbed by the Hell Slaughter Arena.
