Su Bai didn't hesitate. He raised his hand and launched an attack at the Ten-Headed Blaze Snake.
Bang~
But when his attack hit the Ten-Headed Blaze Snake, its scales deflected it.
Su Bai raised an eyebrow, surprised at the snake's strong defense.
Hiss~
Su Bai's attack enraged the snake, and it rushed at him.
"Brother Bai…"
Hu Liena tensed up.
Roar~
Su Bai let out a powerful roar, unleashing a mighty dragon's aura that made all creatures submit.
The Ten-Headed Blaze Snake was intimidated by Su Bai's dragon aura and immediately turned to flee.
That was the absolute suppression of bloodlines. In the presence of a dragon, even the most powerful snake would face natural suppression.
The bloodline suppression made the Ten-Headed Blaze Snake decisively escape.
Su Bai used his dragon aura because he knew Hu Liena wasn't in good condition. He wanted to quickly deal with the snake. Dragging this out would be bad for Hu Liena.
Seeing the snake flee, Su Bai sneered. There was no way he would let it escape. He had been eyeing its demon core for a long time. Obtaining the Ten-Headed Blaze Snake's demon core was one of his goals on this trip.
Su Bai then unleashed the Undying Dragon Claw. The powerful strike hit the Ten-Headed Blaze Snake, completely obliterating it, leaving behind a fist-sized golden orb.
Su Bai reached out and the golden orb was drawn into his hand. It was the Ten-Headed Blaze Snake's demon core. The core's intense heat transferred to his hand, but he merely glanced at it before storing it away.
Then, they continued forward.
Meanwhile.
In the core area of the City of Slaughter, on a blood-red throne, the King of Slaughter watched the scene through a water screen, seeing Su Bai easily kill the Ten-Headed Blaze Snake.
"So strong?" The King of Slaughter's expression was uncertain. He was glad he hadn't attacked Su Bai earlier. Su Bai's displayed strength was too formidable. Even he would struggle to kill the Ten-Headed Blaze Snake, but Su Bai did it with a single strike.
Even through the water screen, the King of Slaughter could feel the terrifying aura Su Bai emitted. Even he, the King of Slaughter, felt a shiver of fear.
He felt fortunate that he hadn't acted against Su Bai. If he had, it was uncertain who would have died. In fact, he believed that if he had attacked, he would most likely have been the one to die.
...
"Brother Bai, I can't go on," Hu Liena said weakly as they went deeper into the Hell Road and the temperature rose. The increasing heat and oppressive atmosphere took a toll on her.
In her weakened state, she couldn't control the killing intent inside her, a consequence of her time in the City of Slaughter where she had killed many.
Unlike Su Bai, she wasn't immune to its effects. Now, with her condition deteriorating, Hu Liena's eyes turned red with uncontrollable bloodlust.
If consumed by this desire, she would attack indiscriminately.
Hu Liena's forehead was drenched in sweat, her minimal clothing soaked, making her look incredibly alluring. Combined with her current state, she exuded a seductive charm that stirred Su Bai's primal instincts. However, he knew this wasn't the time for such thoughts. His dragon bloodline influenced him, but his self-control prevailed.
"Brother Bai, knock me out. I'm afraid I'll lose control and attack you," Hu Liena said with difficulty.
Sighing inwardly, Su Bai admired her concern for him despite her own condition. If he hadn't come with her, she would have been in grave danger.
Without hesitation, Su Bai knocked Hu Liena unconscious and carried her as they continued forward. With no further concerns, he quickened his pace.
After a long while, Su Bai finally saw light. It was undoubtedly the exit of the Hell Road. Passing through meant clearing the Hell Road and obtaining the Killing God Domain.
But there was one last obstacle. The passage of the Hell Road had a long distance to the exit, making it impossible to traverse normally. Without using soul skills, crossing a thousand meters was nearly impossible.
But not for Su Bai. His body was invincible. He could easily leap across with his physical strength or transform into his true form and fly over. Either way, it wasn't a challenge for him.
Before leaving, Su Bai had one more task. He flipped his hand, revealing a white herb: the Snowy Swan Kiss, a highly poisonous immortal herb.
The poison contained within was enough to destroy a large city and was incurable. Once infected, not even immortals could save you.
Su Bai threw the Snowy Swan Kiss into the lava. The lava was filled with a bloody stench. Su Bai knew that the soul power and blood of those who died in the Hell Slaughter Arena were absorbed here, creating the blood mist that permeated the City of Slaughter.
This mist likely prevented the use of soul skills and induced bloodlust, turning people into killing machines.
Leaving the Snowy Swan Kiss was Su Bai's way of ensuring the City of Slaughter, this den of iniquity, would be destroyed. He believed it should not exist.
Having done this, Su Bai leaped toward the exit with Hu Liena on his back, successfully clearing the Hell Road.
...
The City of Slaughter, core area.
Phew!
The King of Slaughter breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Su Bai leave. It was better for this troublemaker to leave his territory as soon as possible.
He had finally remembered what he had sensed from Su Bai: dragon aura, the power unique to dragons. But dragons had disappeared long ago.
Despite that, he had lived long enough to recognize it. His own cultivation had surpassed the hundred thousand year level. Because Tang Chen's mind was controlled by slaughter, he successfully possessed him.
Facing Su Bai's dragon aura, he stood no chance. He was grateful he hadn't attacked Su Bai; otherwise, he would have been doomed.
Suddenly, the King of Slaughter sensed something and his expression changed dramatically.
"Damn it! That bastard!" he cursed, his figure vanishing from his throne.
