Chapter 272: Slaughter King, You Don't Want Tang Chen to Awaken Either, Do You?
After listening to Jiang Li's "kind" reminder, the Slaughter King felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world and let out a disdainful sneer without any concealment.
Indeed, before possessing the body of this peerless powerhouse, as the Nine Headed Bloody Crimson Bat King, it would have been subservient when facing a powerhouse with such eerie methods as Jiang Li.
But now, the situation had changed!
The Physical Body it had possessed was that of a demigod-level powerhouse who had truly reached the limits of the mortal realm!
With such a Heaven-Defying setup in hand, if it still had to be timid and act according to the whims of a mere phantom that didn't even dare to descend in its true form, wouldn't its Possession of this body be in vain?
"And what if I say no?"
The moment those words fell, a tangible pressure of crimson Soul Power erupted from within the Slaughter King's body, bearing down on Jiang Li beneath the throne like a violent storm.
Under this demigod-level pressure, Jiang Li's mental projection began to flicker with unstable, illusory ripples.
Facing such an arrogant display of power, Jiang Li didn't panic at all; instead, he calmly uttered a sentence with lethal impact.
"Slaughter King, you wouldn't want Tang Chen's suppressed consciousness to awaken again, would you?"
In an instant, the Slaughter King, who had been majestic and brimming with Killing Intent on the throne, seemed to have been forcibly hit by a pause button. His crimson pupils suddenly constricted to the size of pinpricks.
"What do you mean?!"
"What do I mean?" Jiang Li stood with his hands behind his back and chuckled. "Bat King, as long as I personally visit Sea God Island and invite that High Priestess of the Sea God, Bo Saixi, to shine the Seagod's Light thoroughly upon this body of yours... tell me, wouldn't Tang Chen's consciousness awakening be an inevitable result?"
"And similarly, at that time, wouldn't your fate as a squatter in his nest inevitably be to perish?"
An unprecedented, bone-chilling coldness rushed up from the Slaughter King's spine to the top of its head.
Since this mysterious person could appear in its palace using such divine techniques, it didn't doubt the truth of the other's words at all. Most crucially, the opponent actually knew its true origin and even the history of this body like the back of his hand!
"Ah... Hahahaha, Your Excellency, what are you saying!"
On the Slaughter King's stiff face, a transformation akin to a Sichuan Opera face-change occurred instantly, as it forced out a dry smile. "I naturally welcome the Young Master to come to my Slaughter City for training! We are all respectable people; let's not let a small misunderstanding ruin our harmony!"
"But let's get the unpleasantries out of the way first." The Slaughter King tried to find a way to save face. "Since Your Excellency knows my Slaughter City so well, you naturally know the rules. If the Young Master's skills are inferior and he unfortunately perishes inside, then you cannot blame me."
Seeing the comical sight of this giant bat instantly cowering, Jiang Li also felt a sense of amusement in his heart.
The Soul Rings and Soul Bones of this Nine Headed Bloody Crimson Bat King were definitely top-tier rarities in the world. That pure aura of evil was simply destined for his Human Emperor Banner.
Skinning it, deboning it, and refining it in an instant was only a matter of time.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble the Slaughter King to look after my unworthy child in the coming days."
After Jiang Li's phantom turned into blue light and completely dissipated, the Slaughter King's face instantly turned dark enough to drip water, his expression shifting uncertainly for a long time.
However, in the end, it took a deep breath, indicating it would swallow this insult and endure it.
Just as it picked up its wine cup again, preparing to let the music play and the dancing continue, and to find those female Fallen Ones from earlier to vent its frustration, the space within the hall suddenly warped.
Following that, an incredibly cold aura, even more evil than that of the Slaughter City, descended upon its palace without any warning.
"Fuck!"
"Is there no end to this?!"
The Slaughter King was extremely furious.
A figure dressed in the luxurious robes of the Pope, holding an Angelic Scepter embedded with gemstones, stood coldly in the center of the hall.
The newcomer was none other than the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong.
"Spider Emperor, instead of being your Pope outside, what are you doing here in my underground Domain?" The Slaughter King suppressed his temper and said through gritted teeth, "Our Slaughter City and your Spirit Hall have always had a good understanding and cooperation. Do you intend to completely destroy those rules today?"
The cooperation it referred to was naturally the Slaughter City taking in those outlaws for the Spirit Hall, while the Spirit Hall provided them with necessary living supplies.
Regarding the Slaughter King's bluster, Bibi Dong only let out a disdainful snort.
Without wasting any words, she directly stated the purpose of her visit in a commanding tone.
"Slaughter King, in the coming period, four top Prodigies from my Spirit Hall will enter your place for training. You'd better behave yourself and don't pull any shady tricks behind the scenes."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Slaughter King felt his temples throbbing and his blood pressure instantly maxing out.
This was going too far! That mysterious person from earlier, relying on the leverage he held, had forced one in, and that was one thing.
But Bibi Dong was even more outrageous, making an outrageous demand to shove four in at once?!
Did she really treat his Slaughter City, known for being a place of certain death, as the back garden of the Spirit Hall?!
However, what made the Slaughter King feel most aggrieved and powerless was that Bibi Dong was a Slaughter God who had truly fought her way out of the Hell Road!
She possessed the Slaughter God Domain, which allowed her to completely ignore the rule-based suppression of the Slaughter City.
Even worse, if a Slaughter God released their Domain, other powerhouses from the Spirit Hall would also be free from the restrictions as long as they were within the Domain's range.
If he truly provoked her and the Spirit Hall sent out all its elites to invade, his Slaughter City might actually be leveled.
'Sigh... whatever."
The Slaughter King was very angry, but after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he just stayed angry for a moment.
"Spider Emperor, I can refrain from pulling tricks on your people. But if their own strength is insufficient and they end up as the yellow springs dew in someone else's cup, then you can't blame me!"
"That goes without saying; life and death are determined by fate."
Having received a satisfactory answer, Bibi Dong didn't even have the interest to spare him another glance, turning around and disappearing from the hall.
In the coming time, there was another major matter concerning the overall situation within the Spirit Hall that required her personal presence and planning.
The only thing that made her feel a bit uneasy and even exceptionally frustrated was that the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest, which she regarded as things already in her pocket, had unexpectedly vanished without a trace a few days ago!
This directly led to a huge vacancy in the last two crucial Soul Ring slots for her second Martial Soul. It seemed she would need to plan carefully once again..."}],
