Chapter 76 - SLAUGHTER KING? OR GREAT-GRANDFATHER?

A year has been passed and both boys turned 15 in the slaughter city. They both have managed to do the impossible they had already completed 149 matches today and will be qualified to challenge the hell road after tomorrow's match. It wasn't easy for them to complete the task, the initial 4 months were excruciating so much so that Tang Chen retrieved two one inch pieces of gold of life and make the neckless for both brothers to keep their emotions in check around each other too. (like shodai Hokage's necklace in naruto.)

They were now called Twin Asura in the slaughter City. After the first few months, the number of matches they participated in has lessened but of the area they faced several ambushes. Only quartes were safe but even then it was ruled leave quarter once every other day for atleast 12 hours. The number of people both brother killed has easily crossed 8 thousand individually and most of them were not from the matches but from ambushes. They constantly have to keep their guard up. Not taking rest and all that inhumane killing was too much for the teenagers. After Tang Chen made the necklaces and both wore them they somewhat can continue as it has the ability to soothe their mind and nerves. Even with Gold of life around them they both were leaking a substantial amount of killing intent. Especially Tang Chen His domain may be suppressed here but he can feel the changes in it. His killing intent was somewhat restrained due to already possessing the Deathgod domain but Tang San's was truly unrestrained.

He initially thought that his training at the village in childhood will help then hiding the killing intent but in a surrounding where you are constantly ambushed or having deathmatch you can't and must not hide your killing intent. Both boys learned this painfully by getting injured in an ambush as they initially tried to hide their intents. Slaughter city provides a cup of bloody marry daily but both Brothers discussed not to have its intake as not only it was human blood but also had poison in it which will erode the mind and body of the user after long intakes. It was also the reason for such pathetic conditions of residents of slaughter city as they have already been addicted to it. Most of the crimes in the city were because of bloody mary.

Many people cannot cultivate in slaughter city because of asura god influence but it didn't apply to both brothers as magical space was itself gift from god. Both boys cultivate there when they were in their quarters. Both boys have only gained two ranks in the year and were rank 67 spirit Emperor. Being close to Gold of life and probably most coveted plant mimicry environment naturally has its advantages. After Tang Chen took the dragon core even his other slow rank progress disadvantages were also suppressed.

The next day both boys went to the arena to have their final matches. Both both were against the team of an experienced resident who seemed to form a team to deal with the brothers. The fight went on and ended like any other match. At the end of the fight suddenly from a high plat for a sound of clapping was heard. Both boys looked up and saw a tall man with a black gown and a black crown was clapping. The whole area suddenly got silenced and the resident officer of slaughter city went on their knees and chanted "LONG LIVE SLAUGHTER KING."

The man simply raised his hands and the chanting stopped. The Slaughter King then said: "Congratulations young ones for completing the impossible task of winning 150 matches. I would like to have some private talk with you before you make a decision on whether or not to attempt to hell road."

Tang Chen was waiting to get a chance to either meet or have a private conversation with the Slaughter King as he knows this man was his great-grandfather, the other ULTIMATE CLEAR SKY DOULUO TANG CHEN of clear sky sect. He looked towards Tang San and nodded. Then he bowed and said: "We will be honored to have such opportunity."

Slaughter King nodded and told his assistant to bring them both to his private abode, then he left. The assistant came and directed both of them to the king's place. both boys went there and saw a man in his early 40's there sitting on a throne but he had blood-red eyes and vicious aura around him His skin seemed to have blood red and black marks on it due to long consumption of bloody mary. He was the slaughter king. The king waved his hand and then the assistant left. The slaughter King stood up and came near both brothers but as soon as he was only two meters away from the necklace of both boy's illuminated and dense life aura covered the range of 3 meters around the boys. The slaughter king held both hands on his head, was kneeling, and was looking in pain but no voice was coming out of his throat. This happened for another 5 minutes. After that the slaughter king stood up and was looking confused. His eyes returned to the normal and the vicious aura around him was not there. Then he Tang Chen asked: "Where is this and Who are you both and Why my spirit is calling yours"?

Tang Chen now knew that this was not the slaughter king but his own great grandfather he decided to not address him as such to not raise the doubts on him he hurriedly replied: "Senior this is slaughter city and you are its king. We brothers are Tang Chen and Tang San. We have completed 150 matches and you invited us to talk. As for why your spirit is calling may because we are from the same family or sect. Senior who are you?"

Slaughter King then contemplates and come to a conclusion about what happened to him, he looked astonishingly at both boys then he sighed and said: "My name is also Tang Chen, I am from Clear Sky Clan. Are you also from the sect, whose children are you."

Both boys then knelt down on one knee, Tang Chen then said: "Tang Chen And Tang San son of Tang Hao pays their respect to great-grandfather."

Elder Tang Chen then came forward, Helped then to stand up and hugged the boys and said: " Good, it seems a long time has passed since my disappearance that even Haoer's children have grown. How are the sect and your father."

Tang Chen then told what he knows happened due to the disappearance of his great-grandfather, elder Chen's expression fluctuates throughout the story at last he sighed and said: "Spirit hall truly became so daring, they tried and attacked my clan. My foolish son and disciples have truly disappointed me, when did they become so spineless didn't they knew the principle of broken jade better than a complete tile? They allowed the spirit hall to force sect to go in isolation. Good Spirit hall, Good Qian Douliu. hmph. But alas Hai seemed to avenged the grievances the sect."

Then elder Chen told them how he came here to get divinity but was corroded by the influence of another evil god. Only because of the necklace he came to his senses now. Tang Chen now understood how Gold of life affected the influence of Raksha god it was also the reason why Bibi Dong let Xiao Wutang survive and escape. As Raksha god has influenced both of them during their hell riad trial, both of them were corrupted and filled with negative influence in their Death god domain hence corrupting their killing intents and corrupt them with dead energy in their bodies. Gold of life has a rich life aura and hence it broke the influence as Elder Tang Chen didn't possess the divinity of Raksha God.

Tang brothers decide to give their necklaces to Elder as they were already leaving and it looked like it will help their Great-grandfather more but he refused and said that the poisons of Blood mary have deeply rooted in his body. And he was even under the influence of his evil d.e.s.i.r.es since he fought Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, Tang Chen then took out a pill which he already prepared if he had any chance to meet his great-grandfather he gave him the pill under the guise of telling he prepared this pill earlier if they found a trustworthy person to detoxify and help them when they both challenge the hell road. No such person can be found he will give this pill to him, he had even added the Gold of life to the pill in an attempt to let his great-grandfather live a longer life but he truly didn't know the miracle of gold of life on Elder Chen.

Elder Chen then received both pills and necklaces then told them about the difficulties of Hell road. He also told them to keep his identities secret even to his father and clan as even with pill and necklace it will take some years for him to leave here and get rid of all negative influence on him. Both boys agreed and Tang Chen pass a truly poisonous herb to him saying he should kill everybody here and then throw the herb to Slaughter city when he will leave as such places should never exist and may give birth to disastrous individuals and inhumane cultivation techniques. He thought that the evil spirit masters germinated because of such a place. Three of them talked with each other and boys left after a while.
