Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 666: A Different City of Killing

Chen Xiaojun seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly raised his head, his eyes sparkling, and asked anxiously: "The City of Slaughter, where is it?"

Chen Yu and Chen Cong looked at each other. After a long moment, Chen Yu sighed and said, "Tell him. It's only a matter of time."

Chen Cong gently stroked the ancient map beside him, his fingertips slowly sliding across it, and finally stopped at the area shrouded in mystery: "You know the Sanjiang River Basin, right? It's here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly and looked at the magnificent geographical picture. The two empires, the major soul beast concentration areas, and even the surrounding sea areas were all on it. This map alone was worth a lot of money.

Chen Cong began to narrate, his finger sliding lightly across the middle of the map, but his voice style changed completely.

"On this vast continent, there is a dividing line that winds like a dragon, spanning north and south. To the west is the towering Shero Mountains next to us; in the center is the Star Forest; and to the east is the legendary Three Rivers Basin, a chaotic land where three rivers intersect.

The Three Rivers are like three giant dragons. The Tianling River originates from the Tianling Mountains, the Xingdou River runs across the center, and the Bolan River flows leisurely to the south. The latter two originate from the Xingdou Forest.

The three rivers flow hand in hand from west to east, crossing the rifts of the Great Rift Valley of the East, and finally merge into the vast southeast sea.

The Xingdou River in the middle is not only a natural boundary, but also the dividing line between the two empires.

The area north of the river between the Tianling River and the Tiandou River is under the rule of the Tiandou Empire; the area south of the river is the nominal territory of the Xingluo Empire.

Here, there is a delicate buffer zone between the two empires, and also a gray area where peace and conflict interweave. "

Chen Cong's words revealed some vicissitudes of history, "A famous general once said, 'Those who attempt to use the Three Rivers Basin as a battlefield are simply foolish.'"

"In the long river of history, the two empires only set foot here once tentatively, and they knew that the water network here was intricate and complicated. The three rivers were turbulent, making it difficult for a large army to move, and supply was even more impossible. They were harassed by the locals, which was extremely annoying."

"Even if food-type soul masters can temporarily solve the urgent problem, there are only a few soul masters in the army. Ordinary soldiers are not soul masters, so replenishing their soul power is useless."

"Therefore, the food, clothing and combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers are the key to determining victory or defeat."

Chen Yu took over the conversation, his tone becoming more serious: "The Sanjiang River Basin is the most turbulent place on the continent. There are many small countries, and some cities are countries. On the top of the city walls, the royal flags change frequently, just like duckweed in troubled times."

"At the same time, there is indulgence filled with the aroma of wine, confusion intertwined with lantern riddles, and a safe haven sought by countless lawless people. Without the constraints of a powerful official, all kinds of forces are intertwined, and only strength is respected."

"You see, there are four main cities in the Sanjiang River Basin, including our Fighting Soul City in the west, the Iron Blooded Weapon City of the Weapon Alliance in the east near the Eastern Rift Valley, the Dark Ghost City dominated by the Ghost Market and the Unkind Tower in the south, and the Tianshi City dominated by the Spring and Autumn Pavilion and the Tianzhi Tower in the north."

"And the City of Slaughter is the shadow side of this land where chaos and freedom intertwine, hidden in the heartland between the four main cities."

“When night falls, countless desperate outlaws, losers, and even notorious criminals are ruthlessly thrown into this dark killing ground, becoming the souls of others’ knives, and also the place of nirvana for some people.”

As Chen Yu spoke, an indescribable atmosphere seemed to permeate the surroundings, which showed his deep fear of dark corners.

There was silence.

Then, Chen Xiaojun raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Are there many Titled Douluo in the Slaughter City as well?"

Chen Cong nodded and said affirmatively: "It's quite a lot."

"The King of Slaughter and the Great Priest of the Slaughter City are so powerful that they must be Titled Douluo. Usually, there are at least three such top masters hiding in that place."

"A leader of the Hell Envoys, a chief referee in charge of the arena, and a deputy to the high priest."

"That is why the Spirit Hall's garrison troops station one or two Title Douluo there all year round to ensure that no major accidents occur."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but wonder, "Then, can only one or two Title Douluo really defend that place?" Chen Cong smiled and explained, "The major superpowers have signed an agreement with the Slaughter City, and the people of the Spirit Hall are responsible for garrisoning."

"Once Slaughter City violates the agreement, they will not only face the wrath of the Spirit Hall, but also the joint suppression of all the superpowers on the continent."

He paused, then continued, "Also, have you ever thought about where the hundreds of thousands of villains in the Slaughter City came from? And how do they get their food supply?"

Chen Xiaojun thought to himself, "That does make sense. Looking at the scale of the Way of Slaughter competition, it's possible that the number of participants could reach several hundred thousand, or at least one hundred thousand."

"Tsk tsk, the road that Tang Dachui took Tang San to enter the Slaughter City turned out to be just a small road. It was specially set up for them to enter to practice and break through. This is probably part of the agreement."

"Since there is such a small road, there must be a big road and a main gate."

"The main gate is the main passage for transporting villains and supplies on a large scale. Otherwise, it would be impossible to transport food through that narrow path."

"Thinking of the terrifying knight that Tang San met, yeah, knight? What a great title for a knight."

"So, the Terror Knights are the garrison troops, and they should be the ones guarding the gate. No wonder they are not very strong."

Chen Xiaojun's eyes flickered, and he leaned forward slightly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much do you two know about the strength of the Slaughter City?"

Chen Yu and Chen Cong looked at each other. Chen Yu gently stroked his beard and frowned, as if recalling the past. "Let's not talk about the distant past. For thousands of years, they have been almost isolated from the outside world. Our understanding of them is really limited."

"All we know is that their leader, the King of Slaughter, and the mysterious High Priest, are at least at the level of Super Douluo."

As he spoke, he stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance. "Before, we didn't even know which god the high priest served. Thanks to you, we found out that it was the Shura God."

Chen Cong also stood up and walked to Chen Yu. The two stood side by side. "If they don't come out, outsiders can't attack. The city is covered by a powerful ban that can block all soul skills. Even the angel power of the Spirit Hall is difficult to penetrate."

He stretched out his hand, as if to touch something. "And the sea of ​​blood surrounding the city is their natural moat. It is vast and boundless. The corrosive, toxic, and hallucinogenic effects contained in it are enough to kill anyone who trespasses."

Chen Yu turned around and walked back to his seat. "According to family records, Master Chen Ling and the Ximen family's ancestor were being hunted down. While they were hiding, they passed through a secret path and entered the Slaughter City."

"They went through hundreds of battles there, and eventually not only became killing gods, but also comprehended the killing god domain, and even sublimated their seventh-grade martial spirit to the eighth grade."

"We guessed that this miracle of promotion might be related to divine power. Now I think it should be the power of Shura."

"It was also based on this history that we began to suspect and through the information you provided, we finally confirmed the murderous attribute contained in our family bloodline."

"Yes, it's not just the spirit, it's also the bloodline. This may be the biggest reason why we have difficulty in having children."

Chen Yu sighed softly, "But our ancestor Chen Ling once left us a legacy, warning us, the descendants of the Chen family, to stay away from the City of Slaughter, as the hundreds of battles there are too dangerous. Once upon a time, there was a Soul Douluo ancestor in our family who didn't listen to the advice, went there, and never came out."

Chen Cong also sat back in his seat and sighed, "Yes, especially in the era of our ancestor Chen Feiyi thousands of years ago, our inheritance has been perfected and systematized, which can greatly enhance our ability to comprehend the domain, so there is no need to risk going to the City of Slaughter."

Chen Yu emphasized again: "So, the world does not know the specific strength of the Slaughter City. Perhaps only the Spirit Hall responsible for guarding it knows a thing or two about it."

Chen Cong turned his gaze to Chen Xiaojun and said in a serious tone: "Xiaojun, I know you are full of curiosity, and I also understand that you sometimes act impulsively. But we hope you don't set foot in the City of Slaughter easily. It is really not a place you should go!"

After hearing this, Chen Xiaojun's face flushed slightly. He lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked at the two elders with firm eyes, "I understand, I will remember your teachings."

He thought to himself, "This world is so different from the description in Douluo Dalu. If I really enter the Slaughter City, who knows what will happen. The protagonists of those time-travel novels always claim to be stronger than Tang San, haha, but who can tell the reality."
