Chapter 612 The City of Slaughter has never been a good place!

"Shh, keep your voice down, this guy is not simple, don't mess with him!"

Lu Yu clapped his hands, as if he had done something insignificant, and said lightly: "Who else wants to try?"

He glanced around, and the soul masters who were eager to try lowered their heads and avoided his sight.

Xiao Wu covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled softly. She leaned over to Lu Yu's ear and whispered, "Brother Yu, aren't you being too high-profile? You just arrived and you've already defeated a Soul King. I'm afraid your name will be spread all over the Slaughter City."

Lu Yu snorted softly, took Xiao Wu's hand, and walked straight to the entrance: "High-profile? This is the city of slaughter. If you don't establish your authority, others will only treat you as a soft persimmon.

Let's go in and see what this damn place is all about."

The two guards looked at each other, fear flashed in their eyes, and they didn't dare to stop them anymore, and silently made way.

Stepping into the City of Slaughter, what comes into view is a gloomy world.

There are shops on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of weapons and elixirs, and the air is filled with the smell of blood and rust.

In the distance, a huge circular building stands in the center of the city, like a crouching beast. That is the Killing Field of Hell.

There were few pedestrians on the street, all of them had indifferent expressions and undisguised murderous intent in their eyes.

Lu Yu frowned and whispered to Xiao Wu, "This place is even more depressing than I imagined.

Let’s find a place to stay first, and then slowly learn the rules.”

Xiao Wu nodded, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "Brother Yu, the people here look so dangerous, we have to be careful."

Lu Yu patted the back of her hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here.

No matter how dangerous the Slaughter City is, it's just a larger fighting arena. I'll figure out the rules myself."

The two walked along the street and soon came to an area where there were many houses.

In the deep mountains on the left, there are various types of houses scattered around, ranging from simple stone houses to mansions with carved beams and painted rafters.

A middle-aged man in a gray robe came forward, smiling somewhat flatteringly, "My two distinguished guests, are you new here? I'm the manager here, my last name is Li, and I specialize in settling in newcomers."

Seeing that you two are so generous, why not rent a good house? It has a good environment, is safe and secure, and comes with detailed rules for the Killing City!

Lu Yu glanced at him and said calmly, "How much does a high-end house cost?"

Manager Li rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Not expensive, not expensive. Only ten gold soul coins a month, and you're guaranteed to live comfortably!"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but say, "Ten gold soul coins? That's too shady! One gold soul coin out there is enough for an ordinary person to eat for a year!"

Manager Li laughed dryly and said, "Little girl, this is the City of Slaughter, so the prices are naturally different.

Living in a good house will allow you to practice in peace, free from harassment from scoundrels. It's worth the price!"

Lu Yu waved his hand to stop Xiao Wu from arguing, and took out ten gold soul coins from his soul guide and threw them over: "Lead the way, and explain the rules of the Slaughter City clearly."

Manager Li took the gold soul coin, grinning from ear to ear, and hurriedly led the two of them to an exquisite two-story building.

The building is shaded by green trees outside and water gurgles in the courtyard, creating a unique sense of tranquility.

After entering the house, Manager Li began to introduce the rules of the Slaughter City: "To put it simply, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.

The core is in the Hell Killing Fields, where there are competitions every day, both single-player and multiplayer, with no limit on the number of people. There is only one rule - survive.

If you want to leave here, you need to win 100 games in a row in the Killing Field of Hell, and the final battle will be against the "King of Killing".

If multiple people reach ninety-nine matches at the same time, they will have to compete again to determine the sole winner.

Xiao Wu frowned: "So cruel? If I lose, won't it be..."

Manager Li chuckled and said, "Lose? Of course, that's a dead end.

Oh, by the way, the law enforcers in the city are an exception. They are not restricted by their martial spirits and can use their spirit skills at will, so don't provoke them."

Lu Yu seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "When we finally leave, we have to pass through this 'Slaughter Hell Road', what is that?"

Manager Li's expression changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "The Slaughter Hell Road is the most terrifying place in the Slaughter City.

I don’t know the details, I only know that 99% of the people died in there, and those who survived were all extremely powerful.

If you two want to go that way, you must be careful."

He paused, then added, “Oh, and also, you are prohibited from using soul skills during the competition. You can only rely on your physical body and skills.

Therefore, martial arts and practical experience are particularly important here."

Lu Yu nodded, already having a plan in mind.

He looked at Xiao Wu and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Wu, you've heard the rules here. In the coming days, we must work hard to improve our strength."

Xiao Wu bit her lip and said firmly, "Brother Yu, I listen to you! No matter how difficult it is, I will go on with you!"

After Manager Li left, Lu Yu sat cross-legged on the stone table in the yard, closing his eyes in deep thought.

Soul skills are prohibited in the City of Slaughter, which is both a restriction and an opportunity for him.

Although he had made some progress in Jeet Kune Do, it was obviously not enough in such a life-and-death fight.

He thought and communicated with the artificial intelligence in his body: "System, select martial arts techniques suitable for Xiao Wu and me. They must be suitable for close combat, have strong explosive power, and be able to handle multiplayer melee."

The voice of the artificial intelligence sounded in his mind: "Analyzing... Based on the host's request, the "Nine Yang Divine Fist" and "Spirit Snake Step" are recommended.

The Nine Yang Divine Fist is extremely powerful, and its punch power can be stacked up to nine times, making it suitable for frontal breakthroughs; the Spirit Snake Step is agile and cunning, suitable for dodging and surprise attacks, and suitable for Xiao Wu's agile physique.

Do you want to transfer the content of the exercises immediately?"

A gleam of light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes: "Transmit it, the faster the better."

He turned to look at Xiao Wu and said softly, "Xiao Wu, we have to train hard in the coming days.

This city of slaughter is far more dangerous than we imagined, but as long as we are strong enough, no rules can trap us."

Xiao Wu nodded heavily, her eyes ablaze with fighting spirit: "Brother Yu, I'm not afraid! Whether it's the City of Slaughter or that hellish road, I will accompany you through it!"

The moonlight was like frost, sprinkling on a small courtyard on the outskirts of the City of Slaughter. The stone walls were mottled, and the wind was whistling softly, carrying a bit of a murderous atmosphere.

On the bluestone ground in the courtyard, Lu Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his robe swaying slightly in the night breeze, his eyes calm yet with a hint of sharpness.

Xiao Wu stood aside, the excitement on her pretty face had not faded yet. She waved her hand gently, and a low sound of breaking wind could be faintly heard in the air.

"Lu Yu, what's going on with your Baji Beng? You spent 20 million soul coins to buy the perfect level, but you didn't get slaughtered by someone, did you?"

Xiao Wu tilted her head, the corners of her pink lips slightly raised, a playful glint in her eyes, "If you're really that amazing, why don't you show me some of your skills!"

Hearing this, Lu Yu raised a faint smile, and said with a bit of confidence: "Kill me? Xiao Wu, you really have a lot of ideas in your little head.

This Baji Beng is not an ordinary soul skill. It comes from a close combat technique in a certain world. It emphasizes layered strength and has amazing explosive power.

I bought it for 20 million soul coins, and I just think it's worth it.

Want to see? Then open your eyes wide and don’t blink! "

Xiao Wu crossed her arms and snorted softly, "Alright, stop bragging! If even a Soul King like me can impress you, then I'll believe you haven't been tricked!"

As she spoke, she took a few steps back and stood beside an old tree, her eyes fixed on Lu Yu, her eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Yu smiled gently and slowly raised his right palm. A layer of red light faintly appeared in the palm of his hand, as if an invisible heat current was flowing through it.

He took a deep breath, and the soul power in his body surged like a river, instantly condensing in his palm. A low humming sound came from the air, like the muffled thunder before a storm.

"Alright!"

Lu Yu let out a low roar, stomped his feet hard, causing the ground to tremble slightly. His right palm blasted out like thunder, hitting a thick rock wall in front of him.

Bang! The first palm strike sent the rock wall trembling violently, cracks spreading like spider webs, and a low, muffled sound was emitted.

Xiao Wu's eyes widened, and before she could react, Lu Yu's second palm had already been launched. The power of the palm was even stronger than before, and traces of charring appeared faintly in the depths of the cracks.

"This is……"

Xiao Wu opened her mouth slightly, and before she could finish her words, Lu Yu's third and fourth palms were launched one after another, each palm heavier than the previous one. Continuous explosions erupted in the air. The palm power was hot and overbearing. Sparks burst out from the tearing marks, and a hot breath hit her face.

When the fifth palm strike fell, the rock wall could no longer bear it and exploded with a loud bang. Stone fragments flew everywhere like rain, and the ground shook slightly. Amidst the flying dust, the scorch marks on the broken walls were shocking.

Xiao Wu stood there blankly, her eyes full of shock.

She walked quickly forward and squatted down to check the broken wall. When her fingers touched the crack, the burning sensation made her pull her hand back suddenly.

She looked up at Lu Yu, her voice filled with disbelief: "Lu Yu, this... this is too much! Five palms shattered such a thick rock wall? And it was even burned black! What on earth is going on with this Eight Extreme Collapse?"

Lu Yu retracted his palm and gently brushed off the dust on his sleeve. His tone was calm but revealed a bit of complacency: "This is the essence of Baji Beng. The power is superimposed layer by layer. The power of each palm will be enhanced on the basis of the previous palm.

The perfect level of Baji Collapse can stack up to eight forces, and the power can reach sixty-four times the initial power.

What you just saw was only 50% of my strength."

“Fifty percent?!”

Xiao Wu's voice suddenly rose, her pretty face filled with astonishment. "What if it's 80%... no, 100%? How terrifying would that be?"

A hint of depth flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and his tone remained calm: "100%? That's not something you can use casually.

The combined power of the eight forces is enough to smash a mountain.

However, this move consumes a lot of soul power. Against ordinary opponents, using 30% to 40% of your strength is enough."

He paused, then glanced at Xiao Wu with a hint of joking, "So, do you still feel like I've been tricked?"

Xiao Wu curled her lips and snorted, "Well, you're pretty good! This Baji Beng does have some tricks.

Lu Yu, please teach me! I want to learn it too! In the Killing Fields of Hell, with this trick at my disposal, I will definitely be able to win a few more battles!

Lu Yu looked at her impatient look and couldn't help laughing: "It's no problem to teach you.

The practice of Baji Beng requires comprehension and control of strength. We have a good impression of each other, so you should be able to learn it quickly.

However, the City of Slaughter is no joke. Your current strength may not even be enough for the elementary Baji Beng."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu pouted unconvincedly: "What do you mean by not enough? I'm at the Soul King level! Add to that your Baji Beng, how can I be any worse?"

Lu Yu tapped her forehead lightly, with a bit of pampering in his tone: "Don't worry, the Soul King level is not the top level in the Killing City.

Have you heard? Recently, there's a woman wearing a fox mask who's won forty-nine matches. And there's a young man named Bei Shangyun, who's so skilled in palm techniques that he's already won sixty-seven matches and is not far from reaching ninety-nine.

With your level, you might be fine against ordinary Soul Kings, but if you meet them, you'll probably suffer a loss."

Xiao Wu rubbed her forehead and muttered, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Teach me quickly! I want to learn it quickly so I don't get bullied!"

Lu Yu nodded, a serious look flashed in his eyes: "Okay, starting tomorrow, I will help you practice Baji Beng to the intermediate level.

The Killing Fields of Hell are extremely dangerous, and we must be fully prepared."

In the next few hours, Lu Yu began to carefully guide Xiao Wu in practicing Baji Collapse.

He stood aside, explaining in detail the force-generating techniques of each movement, the trajectory of soul power, and how to integrate dark energy into the palm technique.

Xiao Wu is extremely talented and has a close rapport with Lu Yu, so she learns very quickly.

In less than half a day, she had mastered the primary Baji Beng. When she swung her palm, three explosions of dark energy could be heard faintly in the air, and the wind from her palm was whistling. A tree in the yard, as thick as a bowl, broke in half, and the broken part was charred.

"How's it going, Lu Yu? Is my palm technique okay?"

Xiao Wu excitedly waved her palm, the wind from her palm was so sharp that it raised a cloud of dust from the ground.

She turned to look at Lu Yu, her eyes full of anticipation.

Lu Yu nodded, but there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes: "Yes, the three dark forces have already taken shape.

However, the opponents in the Killing City are not easy to deal with, especially those who have won dozens of games in a row.

With your level, you can deal with ordinary Soul Kings, but if you meet a strong one like Bei Shangyun, you will probably suffer a loss.

I will help you consolidate your knowledge tomorrow and strive to break through to the intermediate level as soon as possible."

Xiao Wu stuck out her tongue and said with a grin, "Okay, then I'll leave it to Master Lu Yu! But, speaking of which, hasn't the Slaughter City been peaceful lately? I heard that some people are specifically targeting newcomers, stealing soul coins and the like."

Hearing this, Lu Yu’s eyes turned slightly cold, but his tone remained calm: “Indeed, the City of Slaughter has never been a good place.

Those guys are just bullies who only care about the weak and the strong. If they dare to come, we will make sure they never return."

As the night deepened, a series of stealthy footsteps were heard on the street outside the courtyard.

Two figures took advantage of the cover of night and quietly approached Lu Yu's residence, hiding in the shadows in the corner.

One of them was thin with shifty eyes, it was Xu Feng. The other one was tall and strong with sinister eyes, it was Chen Jiaming.

"Xu Feng, are you sure there are only two people here?"

Chen Jiaming lowered his voice, a hint of caution in his tone, "That kid named Lu Yu is only a level 50 Soul King. If we combine our strengths, it shouldn't be difficult to take him down, right?"
