--- Chapter 196 ---

Hell Slaughter Arena became awkwardly quiet when the audience heard what Yunlong just said. He clearly provoked them, but some of them were conscious enough that this young man planned something.

"Hurry up? I don't have the entire day." Yunlong confidently said.

"What, You guys have killed at least one person..." He smoothly provoked them. "Are you guys afraid? a young man like me?"

"Huh?"

"This boy... You don't know that you're fucked up."

"I'll kill you, pretty boy!"

Yunlong slightly smirked because the reaction was on point. He looked at nine people who entered the stage with full-blown killing intent and felt their eyes piercing him.

He furrowed his brows for a moment because he thought of something but then decided to shook his head because it would be overkill.

"I won't use any weapon. My physical strength was enough." He quietly commented while carelessly walking toward them.

A dirty-looking man with a long blade suddenly arrived in front of Yunlong. He swiftly launched a swift blade attack at him.

Yunlong dodged each attack without changing his expression and felt a thin sword intent came out of the blade.

"Haha, I'll cut that head of yours with my blade!" The dirty man excitedly screamed.

"...Two?" Yunlong nonchalantly muttered. "No, One is enough already."

Yunlong slapped the man's blade and caught his collar quickly with his left hand.

"Rumbling Fist." He punched him straight into his face.

Bam! Crack!

An immediate skull-cracking noise rang inside Hell Slaughter Arena but surprisingly didn't stop the rest of the fighters because getting killed was common in this place.

'Boss? Why don't you let me fight?' Greed suddenly complained, which caused Yunlong to chuckle inside.

'Don't worry... You'll have your time later.' Yunlong calmly responded.

[You have killed a spirit king]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]

[You have gained Vital Blow]

"Well, this isn't getting harder..." Yunlong casually lifted his body off the ground.

Boom!

A person suddenly burst out of the ground, and Yunlong kicked him back to the hole.

"Vital Blow," Yunlong whispered.

BAM!

[You have killed...]

"Iron Head." A person suddenly moved like a bull and literally tried to headbutt Yunlong's stomach.

Yunlong gently pressed his hand onto the incoming headbutt and quickly reached the person's head. "Next." He indifferently twisted it.

Crack!

[You have killed...]

Swoosh!

Yunlong naturally swayed his head slightly because an arrow flew toward him.

"Flash Steps." Yunlong's silhouette abruptly vanished.

Yunlong arrived in front of the archer and choked her with a powerful grip.

"Uugh." She groaned in surprise.

[You have killed...]

The nearest person beside her was panicked and quickly thrust his spear rapidly at Yunlong.

Yunlong moved the woman to take a hit and threw her at the spear user.

"There." He said.

The spear user quickly retreated, but when the woman's body fell to the ground, Yunlong disappeared from his view.

"Too slow." Yunlong's voice entered his ears.

"P-Please, please don't kill me." The spear user rigidly turned around.

Crack.

"Eh?" He suddenly saw the world twisted.

[You have killed...]

"Don't? Why do you play a victim all of a sudden?" Yunlong casually commented, "You clearly have killed people before."

He sighed slightly and continued, "I'm not a good person, I admit that."

"However. looking at you guys makes me wonder, Am I really a bad guy?"

"What nonsense are you spouting, Die!" A person suddenly swung a greatsword at him.

"Haa... My bad, I set the bar too high."

Yunlong pressed his leg against the ground and indifferently beat the person with a repulsive jump kick.

The audience solemnly looked at the arena because they were shocked by Yunlong's performance and movement.

"He moved like a ghost."

"Every time he killed a person, his eyes shone with crimson gleam."

"Ghost... Red-eyed Ghost."

Clank!

Yunlong casually slapped a sword with his hand and calmly looked at the wielder with hungry red eyes.

"S-Spare me."

"Grit your teeth." Yunlong coldly commanded.

The person hurriedly gritted his teeth, and Yunlong nonchalantly punched him on the face, launching onto a concrete wall.

Boom!

[You have killed a spirit king]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]

[You have gained Link Sword]

"Next..." Yunlong's indifferent voice echoed.

"20."

"42."

"69."

"99."

"H-He really killed 99 people..."

"Monster, How is that even possible?!"

The slaughter king calmly rested on his throne and gazed at Yunlong with a weird look on his face. It was because this young man did remind him of an odd woman.

"Silver, test him for me." He instructed.

A white-cloaked man suddenly appeared in the shadow and gracefully bowed at the Slaughter King.

"As you wish, your majesty." Silver politely responded.

Yunlong furrowed his brow slightly and saw a white-cloaked man silently landed on the stage without any presence.

"You're?" Yunlong asked.

They stared at each other for a moment and quickly moved toward each other with a swift movement.

Silver quickly drew daggers from his cloak and threw them at Yunlong.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Yunlong casually hardened his clothes and moved forward at an even faster pace.

Bam!

He heavily punched him, but Silver raised his knee to block, which was kind of unfortunate for him.

Crack!

"This strength..." Silver's eyes widened in surprise.

"Quiet, huh." Yunlong immediately twisted his lower body slightly and kicked Silver's jaw.

"Let me borrow this."

Yunlong swiftly took a dagger from the ground and propelled himself into the air.

"Unison Sword... Severed Heart." He punctured Silver's chest with his own dagger.

Cough! Boom!

Silver coughed blood and felt his entire body paralyzed when a pair of crimson eyes stared at him.

"Goodbye," Yunlong whispered while severely twisting the dagger in his hand.

Yunlong's silhouette disappeared from everyone's views, and Silver weirdly fell to the ground with a shocked expression on his face.

[You have killed a spirit saint]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

[You have obtained Silver Heart]

"As expected, those reddish eyes... I've seen them before." The Slaughter King suddenly said while walking off his throne.

He descended out of his throne room and revealed a pair of blood wings, which he could use as a literal shield because of their sheer sizes.

Yunlong looked at the slaughter king and commented, "Don't tell me you're angry because I killed him."

'Tang Chen's body...' Yunlong suddenly thought while looking at the Slaughter King's forehead, which had a red sword symbol.

That sword symbol was similar to Qian Renxue's six-winged angel symbol, which indicated this person was an inheritor of a god.

Slaughter King chuckled and naturally replied, "Me? Angry? He's dead because of his incompetence, so there is nothing wrong with that."

"Hee... Is that so?" Yunlong sneered because he knew that the Slaughter King instructed this man to test him.

"Then, why don't you call the rest of your pawn?" He suddenly added. "You want to test me, right?"

"Right, Slaughter King?"

Slaughter King immediately frowned when Yunlong provoked him and coldly said, "Don't test my patience... I agree with you before because you have my interest, but now."

"You really tested my boundaries."

Yunlong tilted his head and confidently said, "Admit it. Bat king, oops."

"Well, whatever."

"You really are a shameless one."

"Not only did you steal someone else's body, but you also corrupted this place."

"Y-You...!" Slaughter King's eyes quickly became colder.

"Looks a little bat junior, Gonna cry?" Yunlong mocked with a smirk.

Killing intent abruptly exploded out of Slaughter King's body, and the surrounding immediately was painted in dusky red color.

"Dread Knight."

A black warhorse landed behind Slaughter King, and the Dread Knight abruptly arrived in front of Yunlong.

"You... Have angered my king!" The dread knight screamed.

"Cut his limbs. However, I still need something from his mouth, so don't kill him." Slaughter King commanded while pointing his finger at Yunlong.

He grinned widely and continued, "If he really was connected with that woman in any way, then kill him immediately."

The dread knight drew his lance and quickly entered his stance, accumulating spirit energy around his body.

"You shall be punished!"

The lance moved forward with heavy momentum, and Yunlong casually caught it with his left hand.

"H-How?" The dread knight's eyes widened in surprise.

Yunlong's eyes suddenly transformed into eternal mangekyou sharingan.

BAM!

"This is a payback for before." He said while slapping the dread knight with Susanoo's hand.

He slowly moved his gaze to the Slaughter King's forehead and declared, "That position, I'll take it."
