Chapter 301: Slaying

After Slaying the two Blood Clan guards, Wang Zhen caught his breath.

That Supreme Treasure was something he had obtained by chance.

It could stimulate his strength.

He knew the principle of not flaunting wealth; even among humans in the Inner World, not everyone was trustworthy.

Digging out the Blood Crystals from the bodies of the Blood Clan guards, Wang Zhen lowered his head: "This won't do, I must quickly find the Holy City. If I stay here and Viscount Keji finds out, I will surely die."

Possessing that Supreme Treasure increased his combat power by a large margin, enough to deal with at most a few Blood Clan guards.

The Keji Viscount Territory, however, had over a hundred Blood Clan guards.

Just as Wang Zhen was preparing to leave, a chill suddenly ran down his back.

He saw that behind him stood a young man in dark clothing, his gaze profound, though it was unclear how long he had been there.

Wang Zhen felt wary and was extremely cautious: "You... who are you?"

He gripped the Supreme Treasure tightly, terrified that the person before him might discover it.

The person who had arrived was none other than Lin Chao.

"Just passing by." Lin Chao looked at the Blood Clan members on the ground, his gaze curious.

These Blood Clan members were different from the ones he had seen on the surface.

Especially the Blood Crystals above; to Lin Chao, they felt as if they contained a trace of vital energy.

This strand of vital energy was actually able to stir the Innate Power within his body.

Wang Zhen looked at Lin Chao, feeling extremely wary.

After all, the man in dark clothing before him was alone, and at a glance, he was clearly no Ordinary person.

"Brother, this is Fenge Cave. Right now, all the humans inside have been slaughtered by the Blood Clan of the Keji Viscount Territory.

Staying here is extremely dangerous; you had better leave as soon as possible." After thinking for a moment, Wang Zhen still shared this important information, his eyes filled with deep sorrow as he spoke of it.

"Keji Viscount Territory?" Lin Chao's gaze was calm.

He had not expected that there would still be human settlements in the Inner World.

Moreover, the Blood Clan here felt completely different to him than the Blood Clan of the Outer World.

Just then, a thunderous roar came: "Sure enough, there are still remnants here!"

A group of over twenty Blood Clan members appeared.

The leader was burly with a full beard, looking fierce and extraordinary.

Seeing the newcomer, Wang Zhen's expression changed: "Commander Lila?"

Commander Lila was the most trusted subordinate of Viscount Keji and also the strongest combatant under the Viscount.

Rumor had it that Commander Lila even had the qualifications to become a noble.

In the nearby human Earth Caves, Lila was a figure like a god of slaughter.

Wang Zhen could use the Supreme Treasure to kill a few Blood Clan guards, but he was completely helpless against Commander Lila.

Could it be... that he was going to die here today?

His great vengeance... had yet to be avenged!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhen felt unbearable pain in his heart.

"Two humans, actually daring to Slay our Blood Clan warriors, you deserve the punishment of a thousand cuts."

Commander Lila looked at the two corpses on the ground, his gaze full of killing intent.

In this land, the Human Race were nothing more than meat.

That meat would dare to resist their Blood Clan—how could he not be enraged?

"All of you, go to hell."

Commander Lila shouted, his body swelling suddenly until he reached a height of a full zhang, like a small giant.

Commander Lila swung his stone axe, hacking toward Lin Chao and Wang Zhen.

Instantly, a fierce aura arrived, accompanied by a wind sharp enough to cut skin.

The power of this axe was terrifying.

Lin Chao's expression did not change; he did not even dodge, but instead extended a finger.

A surge of Innate Power erupted from his hand and landed on Commander Lila.

Commander Lila's massive body froze, the expression on his face fixed.

He revealed a look of disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

The massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"He killed Commander Lila?"

"Is he a warrior of the Holy Dynasty?"

"Kill him, avenge Commander Lila!"

The remaining twenty-plus Blood Clan guards charged forward with their weapons.

Yet, the Innate Power in Lin Chao's hand erupted once more, like a surging wave, engulfing the Blood Clan members present, followed by... endless death.

Within a few breaths, with a wave of his hand, all the Blood Clan members present perished.

Wang Zhen watched this scene, his gaze dull.

"Senior... so strong."

Wang Zhen felt that even if he became ten times stronger, he probably still could not Slay all the Blood Clan members before him.

Lin Chao waved his hand, and dozens of Blood Crystals fell into his grasp.

He looked at the Blood Crystals, poured his Innate Power into them, and then, Lin Chao felt a slight joy, whispering to himself.

It was evident that the Innate Power and the Blood Crystal were interweaving, unexpectedly undergoing a peculiar transformation.

"This Blood Crystal... can assist my cultivation?"

The Blood Clan here is different from the Blood Clan in the outside world.

The Blood Crystal within the body of a Blood Clan member could actually allow his Qi-Blood Martial Dao Innate Method to cultivate faster.

Upon discovering this, Lin Chao felt a stir in his heart, filled with pleasant surprise.

He had come to the right place, this Inner World.

He immediately devoured all the Blood Crystals and discovered that the progress of the Innate Method he was cultivating had surged forward by a significant margin.

These dozens of Blood Crystals could reduce his cultivation time by two days.

To others, this might be very little.

But for Lin Chao, that was a great deal.

He possessed various Qi-Blood Martial Dao techniques within his body; to push them all to the Innate level would require at least a hundred years.

Yet, with endless Blood Crystals, Lin Chao even suspected that within a few years, he would be able to cultivate them all to the Innate level.

By then, he would only need to find the Qi-Blood Martial Dao technique that represented his own path to bring his Qi-Blood Martial Dao to perfection.

At that time, perhaps, he would be able to attain the Ninth Stage Main God Realm.

"Is the Senior a powerful Warrior from the Holy City?" Wang Zhen asked from the side.

"Holy City?" Lin Chao did not know what this was. "I am merely a rogue cultivator; I do not know what the Holy City is."

Lin Chao did not use any Camouflage.

With his strength, there was nothing to fear.

"A rogue cultivator?" The awe on Wang Zhen's face grew even greater.

The Holy City is a gathering place for humans, containing the most powerful human Warriors.

Outside the Holy City, there are also many humans, such as them, the Earth Cave humans.

Of course, there are also some lone wolves; in his heart, the Senior before him was such a lone wolf.

Such lone wolves are generally incomparably powerful.

This Senior was able to Slay Commander Lila, and his strength was truly shocking.

The two exchanged words, and Lin Chao gained a greater understanding of the Inner World.

He also learned that the man before him was named Wang Zhen.

"By the way, where else are there Blood Clan members here?" Having devoured the Blood Crystals just now, Lin Chao was left wanting more.

He had not expected that while he did not see a God Position, he had discovered the unexpected joy of Blood Crystals.

"Not far from here, there is a Keji Viscount Territory; Senior, please be extremely careful.

The Keji Viscount is a Blood Noble who has mastered a powerful Blood Clan Divine Art."

Blood Nobles are even more powerful than Blood Clan Warriors, especially the Divine Art in their hands, which can take a person's head from a thousand miles away.

"Where is the specific location of the Keji Viscount Territory?" Lin Chao inquired.

Wang Zhen was slightly stunned: "Senior Xu Ling... could it be that you want to go to the Keji Viscount Territory?

That must not be done; the Keji Viscount Territory has countless experts, and there is also the Keji Viscount, who has mastered a Divine Art. Unless one is a Holy Warrior of the Holy City, an Ordinary martial artist cannot defeat him!"

Wang Zhen advised from the side.

Ordinary people, upon encountering such a Blood Noble, would not even have time to escape.

This Senior actually wanted to go and take a look.

A Blood Clan Commander like Lila is fine; he is powerful, but he is not a Blood Noble and has not mastered a Divine Art.

Against a Blood Noble who has mastered a Divine Art, an Ordinary martial artist cannot harm him at all.

Only the powerful Holy Warriors in the Holy City can Slay a Blood Noble.

"You only need to tell me the location." Lin Chao spoke, his voice resolute.

"This... Senior..." Wang Zhen hesitated.

"I have my own ways."

Hearing this, Wang Zhen gritted his teeth: "Senior, why not wait another half a day? Three days ago, I contacted some powerful martial artists; I estimate they will arrive in half a day."

Wang Zhen thought that with that martial artist present, and by joining forces with this Senior, they would have the strength to make a trip to the Keji Viscount Territory.

"No need." Lin Chao refused directly.

Still have to wait half a day?

Isn't that a waste of time?

Although his lifespan was endless, he could not afford to waste time.

"Sigh." Seeing that he could not persuade the Senior, Wang Zhen had no choice but to tell Lin Chao the location of the Keji Viscount Territory. "Senior, please be sure to be careful and do not fall into a dangerous situation."

"Mm." Lin Chao's figure disappeared from sight.

Wang Zhen looked at the corpse on the ground, then looked in the opposite direction and walked away.

He was carrying a Supreme Treasure on his person.

It was precisely through that Supreme Treasure that he had contacted a powerful force... Purple Bauhinia.

Three days ago, the Keji Viscount Territory attacked, and forced by necessity, he had to contact the powerful martial artists of Purple Bauhinia, hoping to save Fenge Cave.

Unfortunately, Purple Bauhinia was too far from here, but the other party had promised to arrive within four days.

Wang Zhen looked at the desolate land and felt immense emotion in his heart.

However, twenty minutes later, Wang Zhen's eyes lit up: "Are you the Seniors from Purple Bauhinia?"

Before him stood a man and a woman, both dressed in black, with the pattern of a Purple Bauhinia embroidered on their black clothes.

"Child, you have suffered," the woman said, a maternal glow appearing on her face.

Three days have passed now; Fenge Cave must be gone by now.

"Child, do not worry. With us here, we will certainly ensure your safety," the man in black said. "There is no time to lose; let us leave quickly. There are many Blood Nobles in White Glue Territory, which is a trouble."

"But Senior, I..." Wang Zhen hesitated for a moment, then spoke about meeting Lin Chao.

"Go to Keji Viscount Territory to help that person?" The man in black frowned.

At this moment, he only wanted to take Wang Zhen back and did not want to create extra complications.

Especially since Wang Zhen's body had fused with Sacred Blood.

If Wang Zhen were to join their Purple Bauhinia, the power of their Purple Bauhinia would certainly increase greatly in the future, and perhaps there would be a chance to truly enter the Holy City.

"Two Seniors, that Senior saved my life, so I ask the two Seniors to help him," Wang Zhen still possessed a heart of gratitude.

The man in black and the woman in black looked at each other, hesitation in their eyes.

After all, for a Blood Noble of a Viscount Territory, it would be very difficult for the two of them to join forces and Slay him.

Moreover, after the Slay, it would inevitably attract the attention of other Blood Nobles.

By then, they would be unable to leave safely with Wang Zhen.

"How about this: we persuade that person to go back, how does that sound?" the woman in black said. "We cannot attack a Blood Noble now, otherwise it will attract the attention of other Blood Nobles in White Glue Territory, and then... we will not be able to go back at all.

The most urgent matter for us now is to take you back and improve your strength. If one day you can become a Holy Warrior of the Holy City, the Keji Viscount will not count for much."

The woman's meaning was very clear.

They would at most persuade Lin Chao to go back and would not actually take action against the Keji Viscount.

Hearing this, Wang Zhen did not hesitate and nodded directly: "I will trouble the two of you."

He was not an unreasonable person either.

"Good," the woman in black said.

The two took Wang Zhen and left, rushing toward Keji Viscount Territory.

It was just that the two of them had quite a few complaints in their hearts about that lone traveler at this moment.

What they did not know was that Lin Chao had already arrived at Keji Viscount Territory at this time.

His gaze was profound, piercing through clouds, mist, and obstacles.

He saw countless cruel scenes.

In front of many courtyards, Baishahua meat was being dried.

However, those pieces of meat were all human flesh.

Clearly, these Blood Clan were using humans as food, drying them into human jerky.

He even saw Blood Clan using human skulls to hold wine.

Lin Chao's gaze flickered.

"Indeed, as Wang Zhen said, the Blood Clan here are enemies of the Human Race and all deserve to die."

The scene before his eyes further intensified his killing intent.

Lin Chao's gaze was cold and stern.

His figure flew into the sky.

An extremely majestic Innate Power erupted.

The entire Keji Viscount Territory did not yet know what was happening at this moment.

In the hall at this time, the Keji Viscount wore a fawning smile on his face: "Count White Glue, this dish is Nine Maidens Arching Heart, made from nine human children under seven years old, paired with the most..."

Count White Glue had come to Keji Viscount Territory; in order to curry favor with this big figure of White Glue Territory, the Keji Viscount had led people to wipe out Fenge Cave and created the Hundred Flavor Rare Treasure.

"Keji Viscount, your taste is not bad..." Count White Glue was very satisfied.

He had also not eaten such food for a long time.

After all, humans had always been hiding very closely.

Those Earth Caves had already been swept many times, and there were simply not many humans left.

A smile appeared on the Keji Viscount's face.

However, just at this moment, a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in his heart.

"What is going on?"

A surging aura descended from the sky, shrouding the entire Viscount Territory.

A look of surprise appeared on the Keji Viscount's face.

Count White Glue's expression also changed slightly: "Is this a human attacking your Viscount Territory?"

The Keji Viscount's expression turned ugly: "Hmph, humans have such great courage, actually daring to attack a noble Blood Noble.

Count White Glue, wait here; I will go and return shortly."

As the Keji Viscount spoke, he was just about to go out.

But just at this moment, a cold and ruthless voice suddenly came from the Heavenly Vault.

"Death is your only destination."

Following these words, countless Innate Power erupted from Lin Chao's body.

All the Blood Clan in the entire Viscount Territory looked up at the sky; they saw the last thing they would ever see in their lives.

It was endless white light, as if a great sun were pressing down, destroying heaven and earth.

"What is that?"

"What is going on?"

"Not good, this kind of aura..." Count White Glue's expression changed drastically.

He immediately unleashed a Divine Art.

However, compared to that white light, the Divine Art was weak and imperceptible.

A powerful aura arrived, and the white light in the Heavenly Vault blotted out the sky and covered the sun.

Boom.

In an instant, the white light pressed down, crushing everything in its path; there was simply nothing that could withstand it.

The entire Viscount territory, and all the Blood Clan within it, were instantly annihilated.
