Chapter 167: Question: Why Did Tang San Destroy the Slaughter City? (55)
In the live stream.
When Hu Liena couldn't hold on any longer, about to be overtaken by the Slaughter Lord's control, and was on the verge of losing herself, she struck herself in pain, telling Tang San to leave.
Tang San didn't leave. Instead, he knocked Hu Liena unconscious and planned to carry her and continue their journey through the Hell Road.
At this moment, the live stream showed Tang San's thoughts, explaining that his reason wasn't because of any feelings for Hu Liena, but simply because abandoning her would create a mental demon, preventing her from pursuing the ultimate path as a Soul Master in the future.
However, just as Tang San was preparing to carry Hu Liena and escape, he seemed to remember something. He suddenly pulled out a snow-white herb from a storage soul tool at his waist.
The herb was completely white, with each leaf seeming to drip with water. Its long and curved stem resembled the neck of a swan.
The live stream immediately provided information about the herb.
It was called "Blood-colored Swan's Kiss," a type of rare medicinal plant, but it was highly toxic.
This was one of the herbs in my medicinal garden?!
Upon seeing the Blood-colored Swan's Kiss in Tang San's hands, Dugubo was both shocked and furious.
Tang San had indeed stolen from his medicinal garden, how despicable!
After the live stream introduced the herb's ability to multiply toxins by millions of times, Tang San muttered to himself.
"A place like the Slaughter City, full of evil, should not exist in this world. It must be destroyed!"
Saying this, Tang San threw the Blood-colored Swan's Kiss onto the Hell Road, letting it fall into the vast, surging blood river below.
Upon seeing this, the King of Slaughter nearly went mad with rage.
This damned Tang San dared to destroy my kingdom—how hateful! How despicable!
After Tang San threw the Blood-colored Swan's Kiss into the blood river, the camera suddenly shifted to a forest.
At this point, both Tang San and Hu Liena had already left the Slaughter City but were still unconscious.
However, their martial spirits were summoned, with blood-colored killing intent surging around them, causing blood-colored patterns to appear on their martial spirits.
Both Bibi Dong and Tang Hao recognized that the Killing God's domain was gradually forming on their martial spirits.
Suddenly, the camera shifted again, returning to the Slaughter City.
However, the Slaughter City seemed to have entered the apocalypse.
As the Blood-colored Swan's Kiss fell into the blood river, the ability of the herb to multiply toxins by millions turned the river's poison from mild to lethal!
Because the blood river was hot, constantly emitting heat, the blood within it evaporated.
Previously, these evaporating blood particles had no effect on the Slaughter City.
But because of the Blood-colored Swan's Kiss, the blood evaporating from the river now carried deadly toxins.
Like the poison in "Qin Shi Ming Yue," this quickly caused countless fallen Soul Masters in the Slaughter City to die in pain while cultivating.
Of course, the Slaughter City had not been destroyed yet.
However, as the camera fast-forwarded, the supply of blood from the fallen Soul Masters was cut off, and the blood river under the Slaughter City gradually dried up.
With the lack of support from the blood river, the Slaughter City, located underground, began to lose its stability, and the purple moon in the sky eventually dimmed.
The entire Slaughter City, like a castle in the air, collapsed and was destroyed!
The time stopped at that moment.
As blood-red characters appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a cold voice immediately rang out.
[This event has ended, the Q&A begins now!]
[Question: Why did Tang San destroy the Slaughter City in the live stream?]
[This round's Q&A rewards: ]
[First place: Random reward x1]
[Second place: Human: Random 100,000-year external soul bone x1; Soul Beast: Random high-level ability x1]
[Third place: A bottle of Qi and Blood Pills. Effect: After consumption, it can increase the physical strength of both humans and soul beasts. One bottle of pill can raise an ordinary person's physical strength to the level of a top-tier attack system beast soul master at the Soul Venerable level!]
Qi and Blood Pills, 100,000-year Soul Bones, Random rewards?
When the rewards were announced, both the human and soul beast factions immediately began to get excited.
But the question remained: why did Tang San destroy the Slaughter City?
Upon seeing the question, many were uncertain.
Because in the live stream, Tang San had already stated it was because a place as evil as the Slaughter City should not exist in the world, which was why he destroyed it.
But the answer couldn't be this simple.
After all, this was a question six months after the events. So, why?
Obviously, it was because Tang San didn't want anyone else to gain the Killing God's domain!
Beside the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, seeing the question, Lin Yu sneered and immediately posted his answer.
In the live stream, Tang San said his reason was that the Slaughter City, being an evil place, shouldn't exist, and that as a righteous messenger, he chose to destroy it.
But is that really trustworthy?
Clearly not!
People tend to have double standards. When doing something beneficial to themselves, even if it's bad, they will find a righteous excuse to make themselves feel justified, even convincing themselves of their own righteousness.
But in reality, only Tang San knows what he truly thinks.
Tang San is the same!
Destroying the Slaughter City for justice? Then Lin Yu would like to ask: what justice is that?
The Slaughter City indeed harbored many fallen Soul Masters, including many evil soul masters.
But as someone who spent two years in the Slaughter City, achieving 100 consecutive victories in the Hell Slaughter Field and barely surviving the Hell Road, Lin Yu didn't believe Tang San didn't understand how difficult it was to leave the Slaughter City.
Since leaving the Slaughter City was incredibly difficult, and over hundreds of years, the only people who successfully left the Slaughter City and became Killing Gods weren't fallen Soul Masters.
This means that fallen Soul Masters didn't pose a threat to the outside world while in the Slaughter City.
The Slaughter City was like a large prison, holding all the fallen and evil Soul Masters who had committed crimes on Douluo Continent.
Because of the Slaughter City, when these fallen and evil Soul Masters are hunted by the two empires and Spirit Hall, they mostly wouldn't fight to the death or retaliate against society, but would escape into the Slaughter City. That's the purpose of the Slaughter City.
But without the Slaughter City, these fallen Soul Masters and evil Soul Masters would have nowhere to go, and would have no choice but to fight to the death or wreak havoc on society.
Evil Soul Masters, desperate to survive, would not hesitate to massacre villages to restore their condition or improve their cultivation.
Did Tang San never think about this before destroying the Slaughter City?
Some might say, Tang San didn't think of that!
But to that, Lin Yu could only sneer.
Because Tang San, whether in Douluo I or in the later series, especially Douluo II, was a master of schemes, and definitely not a fool.
These simple things, he didn't believe Tang San couldn't think of them.
Moreover, the more critical point is that when Tang San entered the Slaughter City, the woman guiding him had already told him that the Slaughter City was a prison.
How could Tang San not know that?!
Seeing the prison, thinking that all the people inside were bad, and then blowing up the prison is simply absurd!
Is this called justice?
In the grand scheme of the Douluo series, this is simply Tang San's excuse for not wanting others to obtain the Killing God's domain.
It's just him covering his selfishness with a layer of righteous justification!
Tang San is nothing but a selfish, hypocritical, and shameless person.
He has always been like this!
