Shen An felt slightly uncomfortable from the pungent smell of blood, but he was neither sad nor happy. Without exception, none of those who could enter were good people, so he naturally wouldn't feel any pity.
The blood spilled on the ground began to coagulate, and the large amount of blood flowed like streams, flowing along the inconspicuous thin pipes under the audience seats towards the center of the killing field.
Seeing Shen An frown slightly, the King of Slaughter said in a low voice, "It is their honor to become sacrifices for the opening of the Hell Road."
"I don't care about their lives or deaths," Shen An said calmly.
At this moment, only Shen An and the King of Slaughter remained alive in the entire arena.
Shen An looked at the blood-red patterns gathering on the ground. They resembled bird-like creatures, or perhaps bats.
"Well then, good luck. After you obtain the God of Slaughter Domain through the Hell Road, I don't want you to bother the City of Slaughter again."
"I don't want to come to this godforsaken place." Shen An continued to look at the pattern, sensing a strange energy.
Suddenly, the bat's eyes lit up, and Shen An's mental power was constantly being impacted, yet it remained as solid as a rock. A massive red light shot into the sky, engulfing his body.
Under the crimson engulfment, everything around became illusory. A layer of sword energy barrier surrounded Shen An, protecting him and preventing the energy in the crimson light from invading.
The King of Slaughter's eyes flickered. He was unharmed despite having no murderous aura, and his mental strength was not shaken. He was truly strong in every way. He quietly abandoned his plan to launch a sneak attack.
With a violent tremor, Shen An clearly felt the spatial shift and then arrived at a circular platform with a diameter of about five meters.
He looked around, and everything around him was a faint blood red. Apart from the platform beneath his feet, there was nothing but a bottomless abyss.
After Shen An disappeared, the King of Slaughter addressed the empty Hell Slaughter Arena, saying, "Welcome, God of Slaughter, to the City of Slaughter."
"However, you seem a little weak."
He stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his pale lips, his eyes gleaming with a beastly light.

Shen An stared at the narrow path in front of him, less than two feet wide, leading into the unknown darkness. It seemed to be the only way he could go at the moment.
"So this is the Road to Hell. I seem to have no choice but to keep going," Shen An murmured.
He immediately took to the air on his sword, and his azure eyes allowed him to see the dark and hazy surroundings clearly.
At the bottom, which resembles an abyss, lies an endless pool of blood, within which strange energy flows.
Shen An slowly rode his sword, even taking the time to observe the surrounding scenery.
Hell Road is indeed like hell for the soul masters of the City of Slaughter; a slight misstep could mean being stuck there forever.
An endless expanse of darkness, air that grows hotter with every step forward, and the eerie, unsettling cries that echo through the darkness.
Most importantly, Soul Masters cannot use their full strength here; even their Soul Skills are restricted.
For Shen An, it was too easy, like he was on easy mode. So Shen An decided to speed through the Hell Road, since his cat was still waiting outside.
The darkness could not block the penetrating vision of the azure sword eyes, and the scorching air had no effect on Shen An, who was immune to both ice and fire. As for the eerie cries from the shadows...
Shen An flicked his finger and unleashed a sharp sword aura. The crescent-shaped azure sword aura swept across the area, shattering a cluster of red bats.
Shen An rode his sword, his sword energy surging forth, and not a single blood bat could get close to him.
Until he saw a huge creature hanging upside down directly in front of him in the narrow path below him—a giant bat with a dark golden glow.
Shen An looked closely and saw that there were actually three more heads.
The three-headed dark gold bat king looked at the extreme sword energy surrounding Shen An, and all three heads simultaneously showed expressions of fear. Then, it pointed obsequiously ahead and disappeared into the darkness below without hesitation.
"If it's a woman with a fox spirit later, remember to let her pass," Shen An added, seeing how sensible the dark gold three-headed bat king was.
Almost instantly, a strange frequency came through, and Shen An immediately realized that it was a creature with considerable intelligence.
As they continued onward, a giant, dark red snake suddenly roared at them, making a croaking sound like a baby crying.
Shen An's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the unparalleled sharp sword energy enveloped him like clouds and mist.
The next moment, the giant snake let out a miserable scream, and its huge body turned into fine powder, leaving only a golden-red light.
Shen An used his soul power to guide it, and it became a small, golden-red sphere that emitted a strange energy.
Shen An instinctively felt that this was no ordinary object, so he put it into his storage space, planning to ask Dugu Bo about it later.
As they continued onward, the air grew increasingly scorching, and there seemed to be a peculiar atmosphere in the air that made their hearts feel increasingly oppressed and restless.
Shen An also sensed it; a sudden surge of sword intent revealed just how steadfast a sword cultivator's sword heart truly was.
All negative influences were completely eradicated, and the so-called evil aura could not penetrate him in the slightest.
Shen An immediately sped up; the tedious and boring Hell Road did not move him in the slightest.
After all, a near-max-level player would definitely find it boring to kill monsters in the beginner village.
In the hellish killing field, the King of Slaughter stared at the God of Slaughter, who was shrouded in black robes, with undisguised malice in his eyes.
"You don't seem to be in good condition; you appear somewhat weak."
Tang Hao's expression under the black hat became even more grim. He had wanted to check the situation, but found that the man had already been sent to Hell Road.
Furthermore, due to his weakened strength, he was easily exposed. Looking at the King of Slaughter in front of him, Tang Hao knew that he absolutely could not show weakness, otherwise he would be completely devoured by this guy.
"I could easily beat you!" Tang Hao threatened, but the King of Slaughter sensed a hint of cowardice in his words.
This Haotian Douluo, who has always been domineering, is not really good at pretending to be strong these days.
However, the King of Slaughter did not rush to make a move. He knew the Clear Sky Sect well. All the titled Douluo who bore the name Clear Sky had a few trump cards up their sleeves. These were desperate measures, and they were not to be trifled with.
"What's with that sword energy? How could someone use a soul skill in your domain?" Tang Hao asked.
The King of Slaughter replied sincerely, "I haven't fought anyone for too long. On a whim, I used my domain to release him from his restraints, so he can use it."
“Bibi Dong valued him highly and coerced me into opening the Hell Road for him ahead of time, threatening to destroy my Slaughter City otherwise. I had no choice but to send him there.”
“We all dislike the Spirit Hall. You know the exit of Hell Road. If he's not dead, he must be there. If you can wait for him to come to you, you can take care of him before he recovers his strength. He's a Title Douluo, after all.”
Tang Hao listened, feeling that something was amiss, but the King of Slaughter's words also made a lot of sense.
He was about to ask more when the King of Slaughter waved his hand and said, "That's all I can say. If I say any more, the Spirit Hall will have a problem with me." Then he vanished.
Tang Hao stood alone in the empty hellish killing field, increasingly tempted by the thought.
Soul Masters who experience the Hell Road will suffer tremendous losses in terms of spirit, soul power, and physical strength.
Since they are already mortal enemies, killing him would further demonstrate the might of Haotian.
Without further hesitation, Tang Hao immediately returned the way he came, intending to reach the cave entrance before the other person and keep a close watch.
At this moment, a handsome cat is holding a hammer marked 100t, staring intently at the black hole.
This is truly a case of waiting passively for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.
Suddenly, the wind howled from the cave entrance below. Tom's ears twitched, and a carefree smile spread across his face.
The chance for revenge has arrived!
Tang Hao looked at the light above and used his mental power to probe it. He was reckless but not stupid. If someone took advantage of the terrain and ambushed him when he jumped out of the cave, he would suffer a loss.
Fortunately, there was nothing above him, so Tang Hao didn't hesitate any longer. He suddenly exerted force with his calves and leaped up.
Sunlight streamed through the dilapidated eaves and fell on his head, and time seemed to slow down.
It wasn't an adjective, it was true. He noticed that everything around him seemed to slow down, and then he saw a cat looking down at him.
'How is this cat still alive? How could any cat survive my Clear Sky Hammer?!'
Tang Hao could clearly see his reflection through the cat's eyes, and a nameless panic suddenly arose in his heart.
Then, he saw the cat's mouth suddenly widen, revealing sharp teeth, and there was a hammer next to it, but it wasn't as big as his Haotian Hammer, and it only had the character 100t written on it.
What does this mean? A question flashed through Tang Hao's mind, and then he saw the cat holding the hammer handle above its head with both hands.
Split Mount Hua in two!
Tang Hao regained his normal time perception just as Tom made his move, and his spirit ring was instantly attached to the Clear Sky Hammer.
Without the slightest hesitation, he used his remaining arm to forcefully slam upwards.
So what if you're still alive? I can still smash you into a cat pancake! Tang Hao's dim eyes gleamed with a savage rage.
He doesn't believe there's a hammer in the world that can compare to the Haotian Hammer.
Clang!
Rumble!
The two hammers collided, the Haotian Hammer with its seventh and ninth spirit rings added, and Tom's small hammer engraved with the character 100t.
A deafening roar erupted instantly!
Chapter 293 Tang Hao smashes Haotian with his hammer and executes him! (4000)
The two hammers collided!
Like the sound of steel being struck, the air waves exploded outwards in layers, creating a magnificent spectacle!
Tang Hao's confident expression vanished, replaced by utter horror.
A tremendous force surged from the Clear Sky Hammer upwards towards Tang Hao's remaining arm. This was the purest form of force, like a flood bursting its banks, fierce and domineering!
Pfft!
The surging power caused Tang Hao's tiger's mouth to split open, his blood vessels to burst, and his arm to bend backward at an incredible arc!
But that's not all. What made Tang Hao's eyes widen in fury was that his martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the number one weapon martial soul in the world, was actually no match for the small hammer in the cat's hand.
A trashy cat that he had previously sent flying!
In just a moment, in a single exchange, the Clear Sky Hammer, which could almost be called the strongest in terms of power, was dented!
puff!
Tang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood and was slammed back to the ground by Tang Tiandi's hammer.
Tang Hao, who crashed to the ground, didn't care about his arm that was almost broken. For Haotian Douluo, who had fought countless battles, big and small, physical injuries were secondary.
What truly drove him to despair was that he couldn't even defeat a cat, and his number one weapon spirit was smashed by an ordinary little hammer.
This was a devastating blow to Tang Hao, who had always been proud of his Clear Sky Hammer. It shattered his confidence and told him that the Clear Sky Hammer was nothing special.
Tom was overjoyed! So satisfying!
Tom also has a very good quality: he likes to kick someone when they're down, beat someone when they're down, and take advantage of their weakness to kill them!
He then grabbed the hammer and jumped down without saying a word.
Seeing Tom jump down, Tang Hao, despite his severe injuries, tried to escape! He had to escape!
He cannot die now; he must protect his son and avenge Ah Yin.
Meanwhile, on the Hell Road, Shen An had reached the final level.
He saw the exit in the distance. It was an oval-shaped curtain of light formed from condensed white light.
Shen An's intuition told him that he would receive a gift through this place.
As for the fiery blood river brimming with the strongest evil aura beneath your feet, and the lake that reaches a full kilometer in length, just kidding, how about flying on a sword?
The sword domain unfolded and enveloped him, preventing the evil energy that sought to drive people mad from penetrating him even slightly.
He successfully passed through the cave entrance by riding his sword, and a special power enveloped his entire body, making him feel as if he had entered a wonderful world.
In this white, boundless world, the most direct feeling Shen An experienced was coldness.
Immediately afterwards, the white light surged wildly into the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in Shen An's hand, and fine patterns inexplicably appeared on the sword's blade.
However, before the pattern could take shape, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass seemed to feel challenged, and its entire body burst into a bright blue light, absorbing all the white light and patterns.
An even more frenzied white light, now forming a vortex, surged into the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
As Shen An watched the white barrier being drained of energy, he actually felt a sense of fear from it.
Finally, as if it had reached saturation, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass actively severed its connection with the white light, while Shen An, whose life was intertwined with the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, felt more refreshed than ever before.
He also sensed that his fifth soul skill, "Sword Domain," had been enhanced to an epic level, no longer confined to a soul skill but transformed into his innate domain!
"I've made a fortune!" Shen An thought to himself with delight. It seemed that the Killing God Domain that Bibi Dong had mentioned wanted to become his innate domain, but it was absorbed by the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, thus strengthening the attributes of his Sword Domain in all aspects.
In other words, Shen An's sword domain possesses all the abilities that the God of Slaughter Domain has, and at their maximum extent.
Because the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass had absorbed an unknown amount of the white light energy, there was no need to accumulate killing intent through slaughter.
