But I haven't found anyone suspicious so far. When I was lost in thoughts, my gaze fell on the butcher shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butcher shop appeared to be ransacked. This was just a thought. But to verify, I walked to the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butcher appears to be a middle-aged man. But his current expression was sad. Like he had lost something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I walked in front of him. He didn't even feel my presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I coughed to attract his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butcher came to his senses. Right after he agitated and asked, \"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I raised my eyebrows but I didn't mind his rude words. Looking at him, I asked, \"Have you seen anyone suspicious recently in this town?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butcher broke out in cold sweat right after hearing my words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick glint flashes in my eyes. This guy knows something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I slightly glanced at the damaged shop. Don't tell me this has something to do with the culprit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you know something, you can tell me without any fear. Because I came here to kill him,\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the words fell in the butcher's ears. He felt a hole reignited in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you gonna kill him?\" The butcher asked in a trembling tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes gleamed with a twinkle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm a warrior from the Saw Scale Viper Academy. My task is to kill the culprit as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I will help you. But first, can you tell me the appearance of the culprit,\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Butcher regained his hope and replied, \"Yes my lord. A few days ago, a stranger entered my shop. I thought he was a customer. But he was eyeing my 15-year-old daughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of that, a huge confrontation broke out. He then damaged my shop in anger before going out. He gave me a few days to agree to his request. He wants me to send my daughter to him on the outskirts of the town,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that the butcher broke down on the ground. He was weeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single elite warrior causes such terror. This is nothing compared to his previous list of crimes. But fortunately, I got his whereabouts. This guy is lurking on the outskirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I can catch him now. Before leaving, I assured the butcher that I will kill the culprit for sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dashed towards the exit. I walked out of the town a few minutes later. I spread my perception around me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I picked up a direction and began to search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, I spotted a burning smoke. The fire was not natural. Seeing that, I dashed toward the location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got closer, I saw a campfire. Someone is roasting meat there. Seeing that my eyes flickered with a twinkle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura coming from the person is that of a strong elite warrior. I spread my perception around the person and walked closer to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing footsteps. The person suddenly turned toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that my mouth curved into an arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Victor Philips,\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the name the person attacked me straight away. He shot a green flame ball at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the strange flame color. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. \"Mutater Fire,\" I said in my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No doubt this person is the culprit. I evaded the attack and rushed towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor Phillips was flustered at first. But when he saw the enemy's base. He regained his confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harumph, I'm stronger than you,\" Victor said with a snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, he covered his fist with green flames to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got closer to him. I raised my right fist to punch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after my fist comes in contact with his green flame fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a strong collision force swept away the surroundings including the campfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Argh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor's fist bones were crushed and his right arm suffered damage from the collisions. The next moment, a muffled groan escaped from his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfff~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coughing up blood. A hint of terror flashes in Victor's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Body Strength comparable to Super Elite Warrior?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor asked in confusion. He had made sure that his traces were erased. Then how come someone can come here in search of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring his question, I decided to end his life in the next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For that, I'm going to use my new blood technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I mobilized the red blood energy from my bones. In a blink of an eye, it reached my arm and gathered around my fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the power in my fist, I cracked up a wide grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I raised my fist to punch him again. This time my fist is filled with blood power but it's invisible to the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor's right arm was crippled. At this moment, he made a decisive decision to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that enemy is fleeing. I increased my speed. In a blink of an eye, I slammed his back using my punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My fist tore through the enemy's back, smashing his inner organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the lifeless body of Victor dropped to the ground. My fist left a huge hole in his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's over,\" I uttered with a smile on my face. I thought it would take a few days to find him. But fortunately, I ended his life before he committed another crime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I can go back to Viper City. But before doing that I should revisit the butcher. Maybe he will gain peace after seeing the decapitated head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can't take the whole corpse back to the academy. It would arouse suspicions. Because I purely used my body's strength to kill the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, I took out the black sword from the storage ring and sliced the corpse's neck. The next second, a decapitated head rolled over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I glanced at the corpse's hand. I spotted the black storage ring. This guy? I don't know how many places he had ransacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I removed the storage ring and placed it in mine. This is not the time to explore the storage ring. It might contain restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I stored the decapitated head before destroying the headless corpse. My first mission went smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I arrived in front of the butcher shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord?\" Butcher said. His complexion was better than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like my words affected him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The villain is dead,\" I said, looking at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" The butcher exclaimed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then right before his eyes, I showed him the decapitated head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He was the one who caused the havoc here,\" The butcher replied with relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I left after showing him the evidence. On the way, I started to recollect my thoughts. On the mission request, the image of Victor Philip is different compared to the real face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this guy had been staying low-key without attracting the attention of the authorities. But it's a pity, he died under my hands in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I plan to stay here tonight. Anyway, the mission was over. I didn't find it any rush to go back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I quickly found a small inn. I paid the rent to the inn owner before going to the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering inside, I looked at the room. The room was simple. There is one single-cushion bed and a small couch. And there is also one attached bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surprise glint flashes in my eyes. The arrangement was better than in many lower-tier cities. Maybe I was right. This small town was built for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I woke up earlier. After completing the morning routine, I looked at the outside view through the window. Seeing that town people are active this morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It reminds me of home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sighing, I decided to cultivate. There is a lightning element in the environment. So I'm going to cultivate the blood element method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before doing that, I thought about checking Victor's storage ring. It might contain monster cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, I took out Victor's storage ring. I observed the black storage ring before seeping my consciousness into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that there were no restrictions. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. Then I began to explore the storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw fire affinity stones, herbs, pills, and a few broken books. And finally saw some monster cores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, I wasn't surprised. The monster cores can be sold for a few thousand alliance points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I took one Class-4 monster core for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sat cross-legged and started to run the blood element method. Slowly, I began to absorb the monster's core energies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the energy entered my body. Blood red light appears above the blood. It immediately sucked the monster's energy and converted them into white energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then white energies drilled into my bones and started to expand the red-marked area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster's core crumbled into pieces. Seeing that, I picked up another monster core to continue the cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1531,"2026-06-05T15:56:39.137Z",1,"novelbin.me","41792c7f3a3da9f64f32449e0c17e4f759812ece747502854b2c958857096731","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-500","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-498",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
