Chapter 246: Tang Hao: I Hope Xiao San Will Be Treated Fairly!
Before Dugu Feng's eyes was a sea of blood-red, his body's blood boiling fiercely.
The Scorpion Claw external spirit bone instantly activated.
Above him, streaks of white patterns contracted and vanished, eventually melding into Dugu Feng's blood.
When he first attained the Killing God Domain, his killing aura was concentrated on the external spirit bones, boosting his spirit skills when activated.
But now, with the Shura Domain, everything had changed.
Shura power had fused into his bloodline, subtly transforming his physical form.
"To walk the path of killing aura, alter the essence of life itself, and ultimately become a god—this was the path once taken by the Shura God!"
Dugu Feng realized.
The Divine Realm was an illusionary domain, based on concepts of good and evil, life and destruction, killing and judgment.
The Shura God, in the mortal world, had comprehended the will of slaughter and ascended to godhood, filling a gap in the Divine Realm.
He became a mighty deity overseeing killing, judgment, and law.
Before ascending, he left behind a legacy in the City of Slaughter.
Yet, to inherit it, one must comprehend the spirit of Shura.
Dugu Feng felt he had already grasped part of Shura's essence.
He sensed a familiar aura not far away.
"That must be the Shura Demon Sword inside Tang Chen!
Its aura is immense; compared to the Shura power within me, it's like heaven and earth!
Controlling the Shura Demon Sword is the shortcut to mastering Shura power."
He shook his head. "But now is not the time to seize the sword!"
Tang Chen was still alive; when he awoke, his strength would remain at pinnacle Title Douluo level, wielding an artifact of unparalleled power.
Dugu Feng was far from that level.
For now, he could only rely on his own domain and absorption of the slaughter aura to strengthen his Shura power.
Seizing the rare opportunity, he greedily absorbed the killing aura of the City of Slaughter.
Half a month later, Dugu Feng's eyes brightened.
Information from the Danchu within the Jade Dragon Snakes reached him:
Tang Hao had arrived!
Tang San and Tang Xiao had too!
Huh? Two Title Douluos accompanied them.
The Haotian Sect was cautious, treating Tang San as a prized possession!
The Jade Dragon Snakes had reached fifty thousand years—their bloodlines awakened anew, now containing fragments of spatial power within their invisibility talent.
Even the strongest among this group, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, couldn't detect the Jade Dragon Snakes from a distance.
The snakes' rapid patrols circled the City of Slaughter.
Despite the concealment of Second and Third Elders, the snakes detected them as well.
Dugu Feng speculated about their motives—were they fishing?
Tang Hao and Tang San marched openly into Killing Town, while Tang Xiao and the elders concealed themselves nearby.
If that's not fishing, then what is?
Dugu Feng suspected strongly they set this trap for the one who stole Tang San's external spirit bone.
He sneered coldly — with the Jade Dragon Snakes watching, they'd never catch him fishing.
Only he fished others. No one fished him!
Tang Hao had arrived; Bibi Dong had better hurry.
Dugu Feng then commanded the snakes to assess Tang San's strength.
Sure enough, he was Spirit King-level, and his appearance had changed.
His martial spirit had awakened again!
Dugu Feng observed a while longer, then returned to cultivation.
He believed the King of Slaughter would soon sense their presence.
Let the King handle what must be done!
In the city's center, the King of Slaughter watched Dugu Feng's progress.
Above Dugu Feng's room, a whirlwind formed, drawing immense killing energy inward.
The devouring force frightened the King.
Fortunately, the vast killing aura of the city was nearly limitless, so he did not fear Dugu Feng's drain.
"Could it be Dugu Feng has begun the Shura Divine Trial? Impossible—Tang Chen still holds the Shura Demon Sword!"
The King marveled at Dugu Feng's talent, advancing his Shura power alone.
After more observation, he felt a sudden urge.
Near the small town that guided souls into the City, he sensed a powerful presence.
Not just one, but multiple.
Could it be Tang Hao had arrived?
The King immediately focused his spirit photosensing.
The small town sat atop the city—his Killing Domain covered the city fully, allowing him constant surveillance.
He confirmed it.
It was indeed Tang Hao.
Excitement stirred within the King.
Tang Hao's arrival had solidified much of the plan.
Hu Liena hadn't left; Bibi Dong would certainly come.
Then, no matter what, he would see the factions clash.
Moments later, he sensed Tang San entering the City of Slaughter, followed closely by Tang Hao himself.
Their eyes met across the darkened skies.
"Haotian Killing God," the King of Slaughter said coldly, "what brings you here?"
Tang Hao's face was solemn. Calm and firm, he replied,
"My son, Tang San, has entered the City of Slaughter.
King of Slaughter, I hope Xiao San receives fair treatment and ultimately attains the Killing God Domain."
Tang Hao was confident his son would succeed unchallenged in battle.
But if the King targeted him, that was another matter.
He was intensely worried now and came immediately after Tang San entered.
"Haotian Killing God, every Killing God's emergence brings devastating loss to the city.
And in over a hundred years, you Haotian Sect have already sent three.!"
The King's tone carried discontent.
Tang Chen had gained the Killing God Domain, then Tang Hao himself, and now Tang San.
Tang Hao looked down at the city. "These people are the world's criminals; if not for our tolerance, could they exist here?
King of Slaughter, you must understand the City of Slaughter survives because it serves the continent."
The King's fury exploded. "Damn you, Tang Hao! You call them evil? Look who's the evil one!"
He sneered, "And don't think I don't know—Spirit Hall's holy maiden Hu Liena is here too.
She's been for three years, and your son has just arrived—if they meet in the arena, if one dies, don't blame me!"
The King sounded confident.
Tang Hao's anger flared but quickly gave way to relief—it was a face-saving line for the King.
So long as the King didn't target Tang San, he could rest easy.
"If my son dies in that arena, I won't blame you. I trust in his strength."
Tang Hao said with unwavering confidence.
He had heard of Hu Liena—Spirit Fox martial spirit, adept with illusions.
Tang San's spirit power outmatched most his age, plus his skill with hidden weapons.
There was no reason to fear Hu Liena.
But caution was necessary outside the City—Spirit Hall's powerful figures might be lurking.
