As Tang San stepped outside, he saw a man standing in front of him. The man was dressed in black, his hair meticulously combed, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses, giving him a refined appearance. However, his expression was stern as he looked at Tang San.
The man's black eyes emitted a sharp gaze that made Tang San's scalp tingle, and he instinctively summoned the Clear Sky Hammer.
"Gehrman Sparrow!" Tang San said in a low voice, "Why have you come to find me?"
"To fight," 'Gehrman Sparrow' replied coldly, not saying much more.
Tang San took a deep breath, his expression serious, his eyes fixed on the man in front of him, not daring to be careless.
Gehrman didn't seem like he wanted to kill anyone, which reassured Tang San somewhat.
Could it be that Hu Liena decided to join forces with me to brave Hell Road, and decided to test my skills?
Or is it because she had contact with other men, making him annoyed, but because of the help I can provide on Hell Road, he just wants to beat me up to vent his anger?
Or perhaps a combination of both?
Tang San thought a lot in an instant.
"Gehrman" moved, his spirit power erupting beneath his feet as he charged forward.
Tang San's pupils shrank, and he thought to himself:
"So fast!"
He swung the Clear Sky Hammer from left to right. If "Gehrman" didn't stop or change direction, this hammer strike could end the fight.
"Gehrman" didn't stop or change direction, seemingly unaware.
But Tang San's expectations were dashed. Just as the Clear Sky Hammer was about to hit him, "Gehrman" unleashed another burst of spirit power beneath his feet, moving his body in the same direction at a speed that matched the hammer.
The hammer body was relatively stationary to "Gehrman". He reached out and braced himself against the hammer.
The Clear Sky Hammer suddenly sank, and Tang San almost lost his grip.
"Gehrman," however, had already leaped high into the air, kicking forward.
Tang San used the "Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track," one of the Tang Sect's secret techniques, to retreat quickly, and he took out nine willow leaf-shaped throwing knives.
The throwing knives were like nine phoenixes flapping their wings, drawing graceful arcs in the air.
Tang Sect Hidden Weapon Ranking Eighth - Phoenix Lures Nine Chicks.
"Gehrman" simply unleashed his spirit power, stirring the airflow, easily changing the trajectory of the throwing knives, causing them to graze past him from the front, back, and above.
He stomped on the ground, shattering it, and grabbed the flying gravel, then used his spirit power to shoot them out one by one.
There were no overly complex techniques, no artistic beauty like when Tang San used hidden weapons, only the simplest and most brutal speed.
The stones flew forward with sharp whistling sounds.
Even though Tang San had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye to the third level, he could only see vaguely blurred shadows.
Dodging a few stones in a somewhat flustered manner, Tang San's expression became even more solemn.
He knew that "Gehrman's" action of throwing stones just now seemed simple, but in reality, the difficulty was no less than his own Tang Sect secret techniques.
Although there were no complicated techniques, it required extremely superb spirit power control. Otherwise, such a large amount of spirit power attached to a fragile stone would only crush it into dust.
He no longer held back, and the dark blue light in his eyes suddenly brightened, sending out a strong mental shock.
At the same time, he activated the spirit bone that Amon had given him, the right arm bone that magnified power from Tang Xiao.
Although "Gehrman's" soul configuration was the same as the original body, possessing the same ten parts, in terms of spiritual power, it was still weaker than Tang San, who had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye and added the spirit head spirit bone.
Even though the soul's toughness had been greatly enhanced under the effect of the Soul Consolidation Grass, and it had good resistance to mental attacks, it was still slightly injured at this time.
He immediately switched to a Worm of Time, acting as if he was unaffected.
Facing the hammer strike that Tang San unleashed using his spirit bone technique, he simply raised his hand, and materialized spirit power condensed into a light gray transparent film on his palm.
Bang!
A violent collision sounded, and Tang San staggered back several steps under the strong backlash, his blood churning, and it took him a lot of effort to stand firm.
He looked at "Gehrman," who was relaxed and at ease, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
"Not bad," Gehrman said, putting down his hand and nodding, seeming to give up the fight.
He walked straight into Tang San's house and said plainly, "Come in."
Tang San hesitated for a moment, but still followed him in.
"Gehrman" sat down on a hardwood chair, his sharp eyes swept over Tang San, and pointed to another chair, saying, "Sit."
Tang San sat down, thinking strangely: This is clearly my house, how does it look like you are the master?
"She has already told me about it. Your strength is good, a little stronger than her, a good helper."
Tang San thought for a moment and understood that the 'she' "Gehrman" was referring to was Hu Liena.
"The King of Slaughter doesn't want to see two more 'God of Slaughter' born, so he approached me and asked me to sign up for the Hell Slaughter Arena and kill you two who are about to become hundred-win 'champions' in the competition," "Gehrman" said abruptly.
"What?" Tang San stood up, and the chair slid backward after being bumped by his calf, making a "bang" sound.
The confrontation just now made him understand that he had no chance of winning in front of "Gehrman."
"You have also seen my strength. If I fight seriously, you have no power to resist."
Tang San's eyes were deep. He noticed that Gehrman said "you two," which meant that Hu Liena was also someone the King of Slaughter wanted Gehrman to kill.
"Gehrman" continued, "In this City of Slaughter, even I can't win against the King of Slaughter, but I don't want to kill her, so I'm here to make a deal with you.
"I will participate in the Hell Slaughter Arena according to the King of Slaughter's request to make him relax his vigilance, but I will not fight seriously. I will deliberately die at your hands.
"Then, the two of you immediately request to open Hell Road, so as to prevent the King of Slaughter from playing any tricks.
"The true master of this Hell City is not the King of Slaughter, or rather, the King of Slaughter is just a spokesperson chosen by the City of Slaughter."
"He also has to act according to certain rules, and his actions are subject to certain restrictions, so he can't refuse your requests."
Tang San couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't you directly refuse the Slaughter King's request and not sign up for the Hell Slaughter Arena?"
"Gehrman" responded, "Because I want to get Hu Liena out of here. If I don't agree, the Slaughter King might use other methods to deal with her. In this special environment, I don't have the power to confront him."
Tang San looked at "Gehrman," his heart shaking. The other party's face still had that cold expression, but Tang San saw a determination in it, a determination to give his life for the one he loved.
He couldn't help but think of Xiao Wu. If Xiao Wu and I faced such a situation, could I do this for her? I should be able to, right…
Tang San said with a hint of admiration, "What can I do for you?"
"Gehrman's" tone softened a lot:
"First, kill me. I don't want her to do it. It's too cruel for her."
"Second, I could have killed you in that battle with you and continued to survive for a while. Even if the Slaughter King wanted to deal with me, it wouldn't be too easy."
"But in order to help her on the Road to Hell, I voluntarily let you kill me. In return, you need to help her as much as possible on the Road to Hell. Of course, this is on the premise that it doesn't endanger your own life and you have the spare capacity."
Tang San nodded, his expression serious, and said, "I will do my best to help her leave safely. I swear."
"Gehrman" continued, "Third, this is also another transaction between us, unrelated to the previous two. I need you to throw it into the Road to Hell."
As he spoke, he took out a snow-white immortal herb.
The immortal herb was crystal clear and snow-white, and each blade of grass seemed to drip with water, slender and curved, looking like a swan's neck.
This was the "Snow-Colored Swan Kiss," whose characteristic was to stimulate potential, but it would also stimulate negative effects, increasing viruses and toxins a thousandfold.
Even a little bit of contact would be fatal.
Tang San was so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back. Even he, even if he inhaled a little bit, would surely die.
"Snow-Colored Swan Kiss?" Tang San's eyes were horrified. "How could you have this thing?"
Seeing that "Gehrman" was actually holding it directly with his hand, Tang San felt very shocked.
But soon, he noticed that there was a transparent, almost imperceptible film on "Gehrman's" hand. It was this film that protected him from the invasion of the "Snow-Colored Swan Kiss."
"It seems you know its effect, so I don't need to explain it specifically."
"Gehrman's" calm, emotionless voice sounded, "It can destroy the City of Slaughter. Such a sinful city should not exist… This is your reward."
He then took out a pink herb, exuding a faint and elegant fragrance.
"Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb!" Tang San couldn't help but exclaim.
He had seen this thing in Dugu Bo's medicine garden, but unlike the original, because Dugu Bo only allowed him to take away seven herbs, in order to give each of his companions and teachers an immortal herb, he had no choice but to give it up.
He didn't expect to see another one in this City of Slaughter.
"You have quite a wide range of knowledge." "Gehrman" showed a slightly surprised expression.
"I have some attainments in the way of poison, so I have a certain understanding of herbs."
Tang San looked at "Gehrman" with some suspicion and asked:
"How could you have these two immortal herbs?"
He remembered that there were these two in Dugu Bo's medicine garden, but after Dugu Bo died, these all fell into Amon's hands. Now that Gehrman, who looks exactly like Amon, took out the same thing, he couldn't help but suspect.
"This is one of the baits my brother used to lure me into a trap. I snatched it from his hands. It's a pity that he still ran away, and I myself am trapped here." "Gehrman" said with a hint of regret.
So, in fact, these are the two plants from Dugu Bo's medicine garden? Tang San thought with a slight look of astonishment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He had been thinking about those immortal herbs for a long time, but he didn't expect to get a part of them in this way, including the "Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb" that he wanted most.
"Since you recognize this herb, it will be much easier. You should know its value. What do you think of my deal?" "Gehrman" asked.
Tang San hesitated for a moment, "Why don't you let Hu Liena do this?"
"Gehrman" replied almost without thinking:
"Because the City of Slaughter is connected to the Spirit Hall. If she destroys it, it will affect her if it is exposed. After all, her teacher is the current Pope of the Spirit Hall."
"I can't ask her to do things that would harm the interests of the Spirit Hall, which would put her in a dilemma."
"In addition, more importantly, that girl is too kind. Even if the people in the City of Slaughter are all fallen people who deserve to die, killing so many people will make her feel uneasy."
Tang San opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped.
Kind? A woman who can win ninety-nine games in the Hell Slaughter Arena, who is called the "Hell Messenger," and who can be described as killing people like mowing grass is said to be kind by you?
Where is your ruthlessness and IQ? Have they all been squeezed out by love? Tang San couldn't help but complain in his heart.
However, he did not argue on this matter. Since Gehrman thought Hu Liena was kind, then let her be kind. Anyway, it would not harm him, and he could additionally gain a "Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb."
Tang San nodded, accepted the herb, and said seriously:
"I agree. You're right. A wicked place like the City of Slaughter really doesn't need to exist. I also hate it here."
"Gehrman" left Tang San's residence. On the way back, he raised his right hand and pinched the right half of the frame of his glasses with his index finger and thumb, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Heh… it's done."
