Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-198

--- Chapter 197 ---

Slaughter King's expression was solemn, and his eyes quickly became redder in each second.

The area rapidly was covered in the crimson aura, which was Slaughter King's thick killing intent. He hovered in the air with enormous blood wings.

"I've never felt so angry before, but you have succeeded, which will end with your horrible demise." The Slaughter King pointed his finger at Yunlong.

"Ooh, you are going to attack me? With that stolen body?" Yunlong casually commented with a smirk.

Slaughter King's mouth raised slightly, and a sudden crimson red light quickly covered the entire stage.

"Blood Burial."

Yunlong couldn't use his spirit skill, but his Susanoo was more than enough to endure this attack.

s

"Let's see..." Yunlong anticipated the incoming attack.

The crimson light enveloped the entire stage, which caused an enormous force to pressure Yunlong's Susanoo like a tyrannical red tsunami.

"Arrggghhhh!"

Yunlong heard a painful groan from an audience, who got tainted with red light and slowly melted into a puddle of blood.

Crack!

Yunlong's Susanoo suddenly cracked lightly, and he looked at the Slaughter King with a sharp gaze. "...I see, so he has not used any of Tang Chen's ability yet?" He quietly muttered.

BOOM!

The red tsunami abruptly exploded, and a black silhouette flew to the Slaughter King.

A white domain covered the area between them, and Yunlong commanded his Susanoo to slash its sword at the Slaughter King.

"Unison Sword: Genesis."

The black energy sword shone with a brilliant white stream and quickly reached Slaughter King's neck.

Clank!

Slaughter King raised his blood wings to defend himself, but another energy sword burst out of the ground and pierced him.

"Y-You..." The Slaughter King looked at Yunlong, who smirked and exploded into white smoke.

BOOM!

Yunlong's Susanoo, which was in the second form, slowly came out of the stage.

"My King!"

The dread knight angrily cried and rushed toward Yunlong with an excessively huge black lance.

"Heaven Tearing Thrust." He roared while becoming one with his lance.

Yunlong didn't say anything and glanced at the dread knight with his eternal mangekyou sharingan.

"Burn... Amaterasu." He chanted coldly.

A huge pitch-black flame arrived in the world and swiftly burned the black lance.

"ARRRGHHH! MY KING!"

The lance incinerated into a pile of ash, and Yunlong calmly heard a notification sound in his head.

[You have killed a titled douluo]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

[You have gained Cursed Black Knight Avatar]

"Divine Flame?! how did you possess such a thing." Slaughter King's red eyes widened in surprise.

He had never thought such a mere human could possess such a thing because not only Amaterasu was a divine flame, but it also had an extreme attribute of a sun.

If that flame touched Slaughter King even a little, his entire soul and body would get purified from this world.

Slaughter King suddenly felt a piercing gaze on him and quickly moved his gaze on Yunlong. "Bad!" He immediately flew away.

As Slaughter King expected, a pitch-black flame literally was aimed at his position before. Amateras missed its target, but it quickly spread and ignited the entire Hell Slaughter Arena with scorching flame.

'He knew my weakness, how?!' The Slaughter King solemnly looked at Yunlong, who slowly turned around and gazed at him.

He had never met Yunlong before and didn't even know of his existence before. A person who wielded such a dangerous flame should be known, but he was unknown to him.

'I should have eliminated him.' The Slaughter King couldn't let such a dangerous person exist in this world.

With his existence alone, Slaughter King really was threatened, and from what he had observed, this young man could still grow.

"I won't let him..." Slaughter King indifferently whispered with a cold expression.

"Blood- What?!"

Slaughter King was about to use his blood technique, but an enormous amount of blood abruptly flew away from him.

"You know, you and I really are a bad match-up." Yunlong calmly commented.

He still stood in the same position, but his Susanoo had already wielded a black scythe in its hands.

"Blood Drinker." Yunlong's eyes shone with a crimson gleam, which was the effect of this ability.

Blood Drinker, in the scythe form, this ability would drink any blood and convert them into pure energy, which excessively enhances Yunlong's strength and skills.

This ability also enhances Yunlong's healing factor, so if his head completely was separated from his body, he could restore it using blood as a catalyst.

'Hehe, you don't have a choice but to use Tang Chen's ability.' Yunlong thought while looking at the Slaughter King, who had a deep frown on his pale face.

Slaughter King raised his right hand, and a clear sky hammer appeared, which shone with dark gleam. The size was slightly bigger than Tang Hao's clear sky hammer, but it somehow contained such a pure heavy pressure.

"Finally," Yunlong smirked slightly.

Yunlong jumped toward the Slaughter King and swung the black scythe covered with Amaterasu at him.

Slaughter King raised the clear sky hammer, and nine spirit rings slowly floated in the skies, but Yunlong didn't care.

Even though Yunlong would get attacked, his sole purpose was only one, which was to reach Slaughter King's forehead.

When Yunlonong had contact with Slaughter King, he could use his eternal mangekyou sharingan to cleanse Tang Chen's tainted soul.

"Clear Sky Hammer Avatar."

A clear sky hammer avatar stood like a mountain and covered the entire city in shadow.

"ABSOLUTE SKY HAMMER!" Slaughter King used Tang Chen's most dominant attack instantly without caring about any people in the area.

His sole purpose is to kill or even eradicate Yunlong's existence from this world.

Clank!

The sky rolled violently, and the clear sky hammer avatar slowly fell to Yunlong, but he didn't even flinch or glance at the incoming giant attack.

"Shadow Clone Technique." Yunlong casually created a clone. "Deal with that thing, and deflecting it should be enough."

The clone nodded and used its Susanoo, which instantly grew into a perfect Susanoo form, even though slightly weaker because he couldn't use his handkerchief as armor.

The perfect Susanoo firmly stood rivaling the clear sky hammer avatar's height and hurriedly manipulated enormous energy, solidified into a black katana.

"Unison Sword: Selfless Sword." The perfect Susanoo drew its katana and slashed to the incoming clear sky hammer.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The sword and hammer met each other, and a powerful shockwave quickly washed the entire slaughter city.

However, Yunlong's objective was not to deflect the attack. His clone deliberately lessened its attack force and changed its direction slightly.

Crack! BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The clear sky hammer fell on the city, but because Yunlong's clone had changed its direction.

The third of the entire city instantly was destroyed into a mess. Thousands of people have died because of this, but fortunately, they deserved it.

Slaughter City was full of lawless and murderers. They are the worst of the worst people on this continent.

(An: In the original story, the whole city literally was poisoned to death)

Yunlong could hear numerous notifications in his head because his clone's attack also killed many people in the city.

However, did not this mean he killed thousands of birds with one stone?

Slaughter King felt his body was powerless for a moment, but when he was about to use his blood regeneration. Yunlong quickly arrived and slashed his stomach with his black scythe.

Slash!

A deep wound was created, but not only that, but blood quickly flew out of Slaughter King's body.

"Amaterasu...!" Yunlong's eyes twitched slightly.

"ARRRGGGHHH!"

Slaughter King instantly was covered with pitch-black flame, and he roared in agony, but it didn't stop there because both of Yunlong's eyes shone with golden light.

"Heavenly Ruler's Judgement."

The world awkwardly stopped and turned white and black. The slaughter king could still feel his body and soul burned profusely.

"W-What are you doing?" Slaughter King's eyes widened in horror.

Yunlong calmly touched Slaughter King's forehead and commanded, "Die."

The entire world suddenly became bright for the Slaughter King. His existence naturally felt empty and worthless for some reason.

Crack!

The reality slowly rotated and broke like glass, but his soul slowly faded away like an illuminated shadow.

[You have killed Nine-Headed Bat King's Soul]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]

[You have gained Bat Ruler, Extreme Blood Manipulation, and Bloodline Absorption]

The former Slaughter King slowly turned into a middle-aged man with black hair.

"Tang Chen." Yunlong calmly caught the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man gradually opened his eyes and looked around with a confused expression. "This... What actually happened?" He muttered.

Yunlong landed on the destroyed Hell Slaughter Arena, and Kaguya abruptly hugged him from behind.

"Are you okay?" Kaguya asked.

"I should be the one who asked that?" Yunlong returned while putting clueless Tang Chen down.

"I'm fine... I have something to protect me." Kaguya responded while showing silver vines around her body.

Tang Chen grasped the dirt around him and looked at the ruined city.

"Are you finally sober?" Yunlong asked while looking back at Tang Chen.

"What happened here?" Tang Chen looked at Yunlong. "I couldn't remember anything? What I could remember was when I fought the Nine-Headed Bat in the 8th trial."

"Your body actually was possessed by someone else, so I cleansed you a few seconds ago." Yunlong confidently answered.

s

"Who are you?" Tang Chen asked with a frown.

Yunlong naturally showed Tang Hao's clear sky hammer to Tang Chen.

"Ah, you're one of the clan members." Tang Chen's eyes widened in wonder.

"My name is Tang San." Yunlong smiled. "I'm your Great-Grandson."

"Eh?!"
