Chapter 245: You Humans Are Still Cunning!
The King of Slaughter was speechless after hearing Dugu Feng's rebuttal.
He cracked a grin. "Seems I wronged you, Poison Demon King.
I was right to trust you—you are my most honored guest below myself in the City of Slaughter. Please, have a seat!"
Dugu Feng nodded and sat down contentedly.
"Poison Demon King, Xiong Ba surely informed you—the City of Slaughter faces a problem.
Spirit Hall's holy maiden Hu Liena has won ninety-eight battles. Just two more wins, and she will tread the path of hell like you.
What do you suggest we do with her?"
The King of Slaughter cut straight to the point without beating around the bush.
Dugu Feng chuckled and shook his head. "Hu Liena has twin martial spirits? Her spirit is the Fox Demon.
Even if she becomes a Title Douluo and a Killing God, what threat can she pose?
The real threats are Tang Hao with ferocious power, Bibi Dong with her twin spirits, and Tang San with twin spirits!
Either Tang Hao or Bibi Dong alone could destroy the City of Slaughter.
Once Tang San becomes a Title Douluo, he will have that power as well."
The King of Slaughter mulled over this. "You mean you want to strike directly at Tang Hao or Bibi Dong?"
He looked at Dugu Feng incredulously. Neither could they hope to kill.
"Our strength demands focusing on one. Of those three, who is the biggest threat to us now?" Dugu Feng guided.
"Tang Hao?"
The King felt more familiar with the Haotian Sect's techniques—the overwhelming Haotian Hammer had profoundly impressed him.
If the hammer struck the City of Slaughter, he didn't dare imagine the aftermath.
"Your insight is sound, King of Slaughter, but you should know Tang Hao was left wounded after his battle with Qian Xunji shortly after becoming a Title Douluo.
In these years, he has fought repeatedly with Bibi Dong and Yu Yuan Zhen, and cannot yet break through to level ninety-eight.
But Bibi Dong's strength could reach pinnacle Title Douluo at any moment."
Bibi Dong was the spirit master closest to achieving godhood—
and the most likely to shatter the established order.
Once she became a god, she would kill anyone without hesitation.
"You mean her twin martial spirits let her advance faster!" The King's face darkened as he understood Dugu Feng's meaning.
"Your intuition is wise.
Her first martial spirit is already a Title Douluo, and each soul ring of her second spirit is at least ten thousand years old.
From what I know, she seeks hundred-thousand-year soul beasts; for every one she kills, her ring can increase by several ranks, advancing her spirit power rapidly.
Tang Hao's painstaking training cannot compare.
That is the true advantage of twin martial spirits—the faster you progress, the faster growth accelerates."
Dugu Feng's voice grew grim.
The King of Slaughter shifted uneasily. According to his intelligence, Bibi Dong had already become a Title Douluo—likely above level ninety-five by now.
One or two more soul rings, and she would become the continent's strongest.
"We must stop Bibi Dong's rapid growth!"
Without waiting, Dugu Feng voiced his plan.
To delay the Soul Hunt Operation, the best way was to undermine Bibi Dong's strength.
Now was the perfect chance.
The King smiled excitedly.
The Poison Demon King was fearless for someone so young.
Daring to challenge the Spirit Hall's pope directly.
He liked it.
"What are you planning?" the King asked quickly.
"To wait.
Hu Liena nears her hundredth victory. Bibi Dong will be watching closely.
If we delay long enough, she will have to come see her.
Tang San and Tang Hao will arrive soon too.
This is our home turf—we will stir conflict between them.
When the time is right, King of Slaughter, you must strike—severely wounding Bibi Dong.
Whether you reveal yourself suddenly or assist Tang Hao covertly, it doesn't matter.
The goal is the result."
The King eyed Dugu Feng oddly.
"You humans are truly insidious!
No wonder the Dugu Family is hated throughout the continent—a clan skilled in poisons and shadowy plots.
Who wouldn't fear a family like that?"
Still, the King admired the plan.
"Poison Demon King, your strategy is good. Now watch and learn!
You've been away from the City of Slaughter too long—I'll arrange some fun for you!"
The King joked.
"No thanks. There's enough killing intent here; I'm busy cultivating my Killing God Domain," Dugu Feng replied flatly.
Killing and women were hardly interesting toys anymore—he had seen it all.
Leaving the King's chamber, Dugu Feng entered a small alley.
7603.
A number above one of the houses.
This was his residence back when he lived in the City of Slaughter.
Clearly, the King of Slaughter had not dared give his old quarters to anyone else.
Dugu Feng stepped inside and immediately released his Killing God Domain.
The diamond-shaped scales on his brow shimmered in rainbow hues as he performed spirit possession.
His five soul rings pulsed rhythmically.
His spirit skills were ready to erupt at any moment.
The killing aura of the City of Slaughter imposed no restrictions on him.
He could freely release his spirit techniques here.
A magnetic force arose from the Killing God Domain, drawing in the wicked, cruel, cold, and frenzied energy of the City of Slaughter.
Except for the inherited space where he had received his legacy, the killing intent here was plentiful but impure.
It held the taint of corruption and despair—souls poisoned by negative emotions.
A spiritual poison.
Dugu Feng was unfazed. He carried his Overlord Poison and the Jade Phosphor Crimson Toxin.
These vile emotions could not affect him.
He intended to purify they into refined killing aura—
to strengthen his Killing God Domain.
Visions of slaughter flashed through his mind—from battles in the Killing Arena, to poisoning Yu Yuan Zhen, to wiping out wolf bandits over the past year.
The killing aura bloomed around him.
His consciousness merged with it.
Even his flesh and veins fused with the gathering killing power.
The aura's color shifted from icy pale white to dark crimson.
"This is the Killing Domain—the next stage is the Shura Domain.
The killing power will transform into the power of Shura!"
Dugu Feng intensified his absorption of the City of Slaughter's energy.
The transformation was swift.
Gradually, a ring of vivid dark red Shura power appeared around him.
The Killing God Domain had evolved into the Shura Domain.
The Shura power was the crystallization of pure killing intent—a higher order of energy than simple killing aura.
Its bright crimson glow resembled blood, radiating a chilling light.
