Chapter 523: God-Killing Domain

Chapter 523: God-Killing Domain

The overwhelming killing intent in his sea of consciousness suddenly seemed to sense something and began to shrink inward, merging. It no longer disturbed Big Cat's emotions. The pink in his eyes finally started to fade.

Tang San's face showed relief and even a hint of admiration as he gave him a thumbs-up. "Don't say anything, don't think about anything. Hold on to your inner resolve, gather all your killing intent, and don't let it out. Try to control it. Right now."

As he spoke, he nodded to Mei Gongzi.

A silver light flashed from Mei Gongzi’s hand, enveloping the three of them. The next moment, they were in the waiting area.

Big Cat immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

Seeing him instantly enter a meditative state, Tang San's smile deepened.

"Big Brother, what's wrong with him? Will he be alright?"

Tang San smirked. "Wrong? Haha, there’s nothing wrong with him. If anything, you might even say he has incredible luck."

If anyone present could understand Big Cat's state, it would be Tang San. Only he fully knew what was happening, even more than Big Cat himself.

What was Big Cat’s life like?

He had fought in the Great Beast Fighting Arena in Kali City for many years, killing countless opponents and engaging in countless battles. Naturally, he had come to possess a strong killing intent. This killing intent itself was a part of his power, a type of spiritual pressure.

If two opponents of equal abilities and strength face off, the seasoned killer will almost invariably win. Such is the power of killing intent. Killing intent makes one more fearless, unrestrained, and aggressive in battle. It’s an important part of momentum, making attacks more ferocious. To put it simply, the fearless win the fight, and killing intent is a crucial factor in this.

The killing intent within Big Cat was undoubtedly strong, and more importantly, his acts of killing had meaning in his heart. He was not a wanton murderer; his actions were for the survival of his clan and the improvement of his people's lives. Thus, despite having intense killing intent, he was never controlled by it. Only someone like this could acquire the title of Sword Saint.

In today's battle, he faced the Dark Devil Monarch in its strongest form—the Blood Moon Monarch. The Blood Moon Monarch's power also came from killing, but it killed for the sake of killing; it thoroughly enjoyed slaughter, and as far as purpose was concerned, its only purpose was to use the resentment of those it murdered to increase the power of its bloody aura. The bloody aura generated by negative emotions was the core of its Bloodstained Domain.

The end of this match undoubtedly elevated Big Cat's status in the individual competition, making him even more famous. However, due to his absorption of the Bloodstained Domain's power, there was now an element of unpredictability. For that reason, although he had advanced, no envoys came forward to interact with him. They wanted to see if Big Cat could compete normally in the next round, especially in the finals.

Meanwhile, the competition continued, and next up was Mei Gongzi's turn. Only a few matches were left until the finals.

"Are you ready?" Tang San asked her.

Mei Gongzi lifted her chin slightly, in a somewhat arrogant display, and smirked. "Of course."

Her eyes were filled with a desire to fight. Asura and Big Cat had won their matches against very strong opponents, and it was her turn next. How could she let them steal all the glory?

Although she had another opponent to face after this, two matches in total to enter the finals, she was confident in herself.

Tang San nodded at her. "Good luck. And safety first!"

Big Cat was at a critical moment, and Tang San couldn't leave his side, so Mei Gongzi went to the waiting area alone to prepare for her match.

Today's matches were all very exciting and even brutal. There had already been instances of mutual destruction.

Those who had a bye this round and would compete in the next actually hoped to see such situations—they could advance to the finals without even having to fight. What a wonderful thing that would be!

Mei Gongzi stood calmly in the waiting area, waiting for her turn. Her heart gradually stabilized, her fighting spirit was strong, but she became increasingly calm.

Her companions' strength was great motivation for her. She had a competitive nature from the get-go, and she had no intention of letting Tang San and Big Cat steal the show. They had already advanced to the finals; now, it was her turn.

"Group Nine..."

The referee's voice rang out, and Mei Gongzi's eyes brightened. She took long strides toward the stage.

And although Tang San stayed by Big Cat's side, his heart ascended the stage with Mei Gongzi.
