Chapter 356 Hell's Killing Field! Hu Liena?
Just then, Tang Chuan suddenly spoke to the female guide beside him:
"Take me straight to the hellish killing field."
Upon hearing this, the woman's formulaic smile faltered slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She turned her head, looking at Tang Chuan's young yet unusually calm face, and reminded him:
"Newcomer, you still have twelve hours of protection left. Shouldn't you familiarize yourself with the environment and learn the rules here first? Rushing into the Hell Slaughter Arena is not a wise move."
Tang Chuan didn't stop walking, nor did he even look at her. He simply waved his hand casually, his tone carrying a hint of indifference as if he already knew everything, and explained, "I already know the rules here."
The female guide was startled again.
Such certainty... this person is either arrogant and ignorant, or truly prepared. She said no more; since the other party insisted, her duty was only to guide and answer, not to obstruct.
"Understood." The smile on her face returned to its standard and empty form. She bowed slightly and made that gesture of invitation again, but in a different direction.
"Then, please follow me to the hellish killing field."
She led the way, her steps light and quick as she walked through the streets bathed in a bluish-purple glow.
The fallen people and residents around them continued to go about their business, only occasionally a few obscure gazes, with a cruel interest as if assessing prey, would sweep over the golden spear in Tang Chuan's hand, whose noble aura could not be concealed even in the dim light.
Following the female guide, Tang Chuan walked through several increasingly dark alleyways filled with the stench of blood, until he arrived in front of a huge circular building.
The building is constructed entirely of dark red rock, as if it had been repeatedly soaked and solidified by countless drops of blood. It has no windows, only several huge and deep entrances, like the open mouths of a giant beast, constantly swallowing and spitting out the people coming and going.
At the top of the building stood a grotesque skull statue, its empty eye sockets gazing down, adding to the terror. Even before entering, deafening roars of madness, the clashing of weapons, and... the desperate screams of the dying echoed from within.
This is the hellish killing field.
The rules of the Killing City are most directly reflected here, and it is also the only stairway to Hell.
The female guide led Tang Chuan to one of the entrances and respectfully gestured for him to enter.
Stepping inside, the sounds and the stench of blood immediately assault your senses.
Its internal structure resembles the Colosseum in ancient Rome, with a huge circular arena in the center and concentric viewing platforms extending upwards around it.
At this moment, the viewing platform was crowded with all sorts of fallen people, some with fanatical eyes and others with numb ones. They were shouting at the top of their lungs, their eyes fixed on the scene.
Led by the woman, Tang Chuan arrived at the edge of a viewing platform with a decent view, his gaze fixed on the bloody arena below.
The battle was raging on the field.
Or rather, it was a hunt where one man was outnumbered nine to one.
The person being attacked was a woman.
She was agile and swift as the wind, her short golden hair flying wildly as she moved. She had no weapon in her hand, only a short sword covered with pale golden soul power, as she fought against nine Fallen Ones of different shapes, wielding sharp blades and with ferocious faces.
"Hu Liena???" Tang Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the blonde woman in the arena, and the name flashed through his mind.
The core of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, and a personal disciple of Pope Bibi Dong.
"It seems she came here directly after the competition ended," Tang Chuan thought to himself.
The fact that she was able to survive in the Killing City and appear in the Hell Killing Arena indicates that she has been training here for quite some time and has begun to strive for the goal of 100 wins.
Hu Liena's demeanor on the field is completely different from that during the competition.
She lacked the grace and allure of a Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, replaced by a sharpness and decisiveness ingrained in her very being, as well as a chilling killing intent honed for survival.
At this moment, she was surrounded by nine people.
A burly man wielding a giant axe roared and brought it down on his head, but Hu Liena did not retreat but advanced instead. Her figure slid in along the inside of the axe blade like a ghost, and her golden claws flashed across the man's throat, spraying blood. The man fell to the ground with a thud.
Almost simultaneously, two poisoned daggers stabbed towards her ribs from the side, while a chain hammer whistled down from behind. Hu Liena twisted her waist with incredible flexibility, narrowly avoiding the daggers. At the same time, she used the momentum to spin around and delivered a fierce whip kick to the temple of the attacker from the side, deforming his head and sending him flying.
Ignoring the chain hammer behind her, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped into the air like a golden fox, not only dodging the chain hammer but also unleashing several sharp golden sword lights in mid-air, piercing the eyes of another Fallen who was attempting a ranged attack.
Her movements were fluid, ruthless, and precise. Every dodge was perfectly timed, and every counterattack struck at the heart. In the Killing City where soul skills could not be used, she brought her physical strength, fighting instincts, and the agility and cunning of a fox spirit to their fullest potential.
Blood splattered continuously onto Hu Liena's short golden hair and tight leather armor, but she seemed oblivious, her eyes cold as ice. Only when she occasionally licked the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth would a savage glint of predator's light flash in her eyes.
In a short time, half of the nine attackers had fallen, and the remaining few began to show fear in their eyes. Their attacks were no longer fierce, and they showed signs of retreating.
Hu Liena clearly wasn't going to give them a chance. Seizing the moment when their momentum waned, she suddenly accelerated, her figure transforming into a golden streak of light, weaving and slicing through the remaining people...
Screams rang out one after another.
When Hu Liena's figure finally came to a stop in the middle of the field, there was no longer a single opponent standing at her feet; nine corpses lay in pools of blood in various contorted positions.
Slightly panting, her short golden hair was stuck to her forehead with sweat and blood, and her tight leather armor was torn in many places, revealing her snow-white skin with bloodstains underneath. But she still stood straight and slowly raised her blood-stained right hand to signal to the surrounding viewing platform.
Her response was met with even more frenzied cheers and roars.
Here, the victors win survival and glory, while the losers become skeletons and fodder for gossip.
On the viewing platform, Tang Chuan quietly watched the golden figure standing in the arena, covered in blood, with cold eyes that showed a hint of fatigue but also a strong determination, and made a mental assessment.
"It's been so long, you've made some progress."
The female guide beside him introduced in a low voice, her tone carrying a hint of professional amazement: "This blonde woman in the arena has been in our Killing City for one year and three months. She is one of the fastest rising stars in recent years, with a ruthless and precise fighting style and rarely gets injured. Currently, she has achieved ninety-three victories."
"At this rate, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should soon achieve 100 wins and qualify to challenge the Hell Road." (End of Chapter)
