Chapter 302: Lin Chao's Strength?

Everywhere were corpses.

The vast Viscount Territory now had no living souls left.

Lin Chao waved his hand, and countless Blood Crystals flew out, landing in his grasp.

Among these Blood Crystals, two were larger in size, while the others were all very small.

"With so many Blood Crystals, I can save many days of cultivation."

Lin Chao was delighted; he had come to the right world.

"But why can these Blood Crystals improve the cultivation of Qi-Blood Martial Dao?"

Lin Chao pondered.

He recalled the soul-searching from last time.

The Blood Clan underground seemed to be at odds with the Innate Gods.

The Innate Gods were known as the Azure Army.

Perhaps those Innate Gods could also grow stronger by hunting the Blood Clan.

Or perhaps, inside the bodies of these Blood Clan members, there existed the essence of the Innate Gods.

Regardless, for Lin Chao, this was a beneficial matter.

"God Position?"

At this moment, Lin Chao's gaze fell upon two corpses.

These two corpses were none other than the Keji Viscount and the White Glue Count.

On the bodies of the two, God Positions were drifting away.

"I didn't expect such an unexpected joy."

After all, the Blood Crystals had already made Lin Chao a great profit, and with the God Positions, Lin Chao was profiting immensely.

"Continue searching for the Blood Clan."

Lin Chao made a decision in his heart.

To him, these Blood Clan members were all fat sheep.

……

On the other side, the black-clothed man and the white-clothed woman of the Purple Bauhinia were rapidly rushing toward the Keji Viscount Territory with Wang Zhen.

"Wang Zhen, are you certain that person went toward the Keji Viscount Territory?

Along the way, we haven't discovered that person, nor have we found any traces left behind."

The black-clothed woman could not help but feel some suspicion.

The two of them were traveling at full speed toward the Keji Viscount Territory.

If that person wanted to find trouble with the Keji Viscount, they certainly wouldn't travel at too fast a speed, so as to avoid consuming too much stamina.

Therefore, logically speaking, they should have already encountered the person Wang Zhen spoke of.

"This..." Wang Zhen was also somewhat hesitant, "That senior's attitude was firm; he would definitely not deceive me."

"But along this way, I haven't even sensed the aura of a single human." A playful smile appeared on the black-clothed woman's face.

In her heart, she actually already had a deduction.

In this world, there are many people who care about their reputation.

That person was attacked by the Blood Clan of the Keji Viscount Territory and, unable to save face, told Wang Zhen he was going to find trouble with the Keji Viscount.

But in reality?

He didn't go to the Keji Viscount Territory at all.

If that were the case, they had wasted their efforts.

"We are not far from the Keji Viscount Territory.

Let's go take a look first; if we happen to encounter that martial artist, we can still provide some assistance." The black-clothed man did not have so many thoughts; he was thinking that if the other party really encountered danger, they might truly be able to contribute some effort.

Wang Zhen had fused with the Sacred Blood and was the hope of their Purple Bauhinia.

Once Wang Zhen stepped into the Seventh Tier, their Purple Bauhinia would have the qualification to truly enter the Holy City, without having to live in fear in the wilderness.

Therefore, even if Wang Zhen's request was a mistake, the black-clothed man would not refuse.

The white-clothed woman nodded.

The three of them increased their speed and continued to rush toward the Keji Viscount Territory.

A quarter of an hour later, the three of them stopped their footsteps.

"Ahead is the Keji Viscount Territory; be extremely careful," the black-clothed man reminded.

"Mm." The white-clothed woman did not say anything more.

The Keji Viscount Territory ahead was quiet, not at all like there had been an enemy attack.

There was a high probability that the person Wang Zhen spoke of had not come at all.

"Strange, a Viscount belongs to the strong among the Blood Clan.

The Viscount Territory should also be heavily guarded; why are there no patrolling Blood Clan members nearby? How strange."

The black-clothed man was somewhat puzzled.

Hearing this, the white-clothed woman was equally puzzled: "Indeed, how could there be no patrolling Blood Clan members?"

"Should we go deeper?" the black-clothed man suggested.

"Alright."

The two reached a consensus and, taking Wang Zhen with them, went deeper into the Keji Viscount Territory once more.

However, the next moment, the white-clothed woman's body began to tremble, her chest heaving as a result: "Dead... they are all dead."

Ahead, the vast Keji Viscount Territory was filled with corpses lying on the ground everywhere.

Scattered and strewn, looking out, corpses covered the field.

The man in black gasped.

So many Blood Clan corpses, it seems there are no survivors.

"Could it be that Senior Xu Ling has already arrived here?" Wang Zhen was astonished, a surge of joy welling up in his heart.

It was the Blood Clan of the Keji Viscount Territory that had wiped out Fenge Cave and Slayed his relatives and friends.

He held a deep hatred for the Keji Viscount Territory.

"The Blood Compass shows that within a radius of three miles, there are no living Blood Clan." The woman in white took out a Compass, a look of shock appearing in her eyes.

"What? The Blood Clan of the Keji Viscount Territory are all dead?"

The man in black was truly shocked.

The Keji Viscount Territory had over a hundred Blood Clan guards and nearly a thousand Blood Clan subjects.

Plus, the Keji Viscount mastered powerful Divine Art.

For such a powerful force to be destroyed just like this, how could it not be shocking?

Especially since, according to Wang Zhen, Xu Ling had only headed toward the Keji Viscount Territory less than half an hour before them.

To wipe out a Viscount Territory in such a short time, how powerful must that strength be?

The three of them snuck into the Keji Viscount Territory.

What they saw before them was gratifying and exhilarating.

Every single Blood Clan member was dead.

In their eyes, there were expressions of terror.

Unfortunately, facing Lin Chao's attacks, they had absolutely no ability to resist.

"The strength of this Mr. Xu Ling is likely on par with our Lord of Zijinhua." The woman in white exclaimed.

An average Blood Clan Viscount has strength between the Fourth Tier and Sixth Tier.

The Keji Viscount's strength was not very high, being Fifth Tier.

And since Xu Ling could Slay the Keji Viscount and wipe out the Blood Clan of the Keji Viscount Territory so quickly, his strength must have reached the Sixth Tier, similar to the strength of the Lord of Zijinhua.

"With such strength, if we could recruit him to Zijinhua..." A look of joy appeared on the man in black's face.

In that case, the strength of Zijinhua would surely increase greatly.

"We must be careful; this place is under the rule of White Glue Territory.

Once the news that the Keji Viscount was Slayed by a human is exposed, White Glue Territory will surely be furious.

If the White Glue Count takes action, Mr. Xu Ling will definitely be in danger.

We must find Mr. Xu Ling as soon as possible and help him leave White Glue Territory."

Mentioning the White Glue Count, everyone present felt a sense of fear arise in their hearts.

Among the Blood Clan, those who can become a Count are incomparably powerful.

This kind of power is comparable to the Holy Warriors of the Holy City, which is the Seventh Tier.

A Seventh Tier powerhouse is incomparably strong, enough to sweep away a crowd of Sixth Tiers.

And for a force to truly enter the Holy City, the minimum condition is that a Seventh Tier Holy Warrior appears within the force.

The power of the Seventh Tier is not something Zijinhua can deal with right now.

"White Glue Territory has the White Glue Count; it is truly dangerous." The woman in white also sighed.

Even if their Lord of Zijinhua came, he would not be a match for the White Glue Count.

The group walked deeper into the Viscount Territory, becoming more surprised the further they went.

There really were no survivors at all.

"This is the Keji Viscount!" The man in black stopped his steps, panting slightly.

Sure enough, the Keji Viscount had also been Slayed, and the Blood Crystal on his body had been stripped away.

Seeing this, Wang Zhen was overjoyed, and then felt a complex mix of emotions.

His great vengeance had been avenged just like this.

"Huh... this Blood Clan member looks somewhat familiar." The woman in white looked at the Blood Clan corpse to the side, a look of confusion appearing on her face.

The man in black turned that Blood Clan member over, and the expression on his face froze: "This is... the White Glue Count."

"What?"

"The White Glue Count?"

The three people present were all shocked.

The White Glue Count had actually appeared here, and had even died here.

A terrifying emotion circulated.

Could it be that that Senior... Xu Ling, is a powerful Holy Warrior?

White Glue Territory.

Lin Chao looked at the corpses on the ground, his eyes as calm as a lake.

A massive Blood Clan member looked at Lin Chao, his eyes full of fear: "You are a devil!"

Lin Chao did not reply.

He continued forward, and with his movements, another pile of Blood Clan fell.

"Human, when the Count returns, it will surely be your death day!

Ah!"

Unfortunately, Lin Chao did not pay any attention at all.

"It is over."

He stretched out his hand, and a rolling great sun descended from the sky, suppressing the entire Baijiao Earl Territory.

In an instant, the entire Baijiao Earl Territory was destroyed in one fell swoop.

"Blood Crystals... I am coming."

Lin Chao began to harvest the Blood Crystals.

This Baijiao Earl Territory was much larger than the Keji Viscount Territory, and the Blood Crystals Lin Chao collected amounted to over four thousand pieces.

At the same time, he stripped God Positions from the bodies of five Blood Clan members.

"This is worth more than ten days of my cultivation," Lin Chao sighed lightly.

He ransacked the Baijiao Earl Territory, especially the Earl's mansion.

However, Lin Chao frowned: "There is actually no map."

He had intended to find a map in the Baijiao Earl Territory and then use it to find the gathering places of other Blood Clan members.

After all, the Inner World is vast, appearing far larger than the Outer World.

If he were to search for Blood Clan gathering places aimlessly, he would not know how long it might take.

Moreover, the two Blood Clan gathering places he had exterminated so far were too small for him.

A Viscount and an Earl were nothing at all.

His intention was to hunt down Marquises, Dukes, and even Blood Princes.

Blood Clan members of this level would provide Blood Crystals and even God Positions that would improve his strength much more.

"Continue cultivation."

Lin Chao's figure disappeared.

Having obtained so many Blood Crystals, it was only natural to cultivate for a while first.

Before long, Lin Chao appeared inside a dilapidated cave.

This cave used to be a human gathering place; one could still see wooden washstands and some basins inside.

But now, the cave was empty; clearly, the people inside had long since met with misfortune and been slaughtered by the Blood Clan.

In the Baijiao Earl Territory, Lin Chao had also seen many Blood Clan members who turned humans into food.

Thinking of this, Lin Chao sighed slightly.

The Blood Clan feeding on humans was no different from humans feeding on pork.

But he was human and stood naturally on the opposite side of the Blood Clan.

Therefore, upon seeing the Blood Clan, he must Slay them.

He was naturally not the type of person to be so compassionate as to feel that the Blood Clan hunting humans was a matter of course, and thus forgive the Blood Clan.

"With so many Blood Crystals, my Thunder Yun Method should also be able to break through to the Innate Realm."

Lin Chao closed his eyes; all around him were Blood Crystals.

As he cultivated, these Blood Crystals all turned into blood mist and merged into his body.

One day later, Lin Chao opened his eyes: "Finally, another martial art has stepped into the Innate Realm.

If ten more martial arts step into the Innate Realm, my realm should be comparable to a Middle-level Deity."

During the dozen or so years in the Building, Lin Chao's realm was comparable to a Lower-level Deity.

However, in subsequent cultivation, it became increasingly difficult to improve one's realm.

In his previous life, when he was Feng Yan, he had taken advantage of a bug.

By making a contract with a Ghost, he achieved the effect of him being a god and the Ghost being a god.

Consequently, millions of Ghosts became deities.

In that case, millions of deities were cultivating for him.

That was why he could step into the Upper-level Deity and even the Half-step Ninth Rank realm so quickly.

Now, he no longer had those companions from before and was cultivating by himself, so the time required had increased significantly.

Lin Chao stood up, his body radiating a formidable aura.

His realm had not yet reached the Middle-level Deity realm.

However, Lin Chao was confident that with his strength, he could suppress a Middle-level Deity with a flip of his hand.

After all, realm does not represent strength.

"Time to go find a map."

Lin Chao frowned.

But where could he go to find a map?

The entire Inner World is vast beyond compare.

It could be said that sixty percent of the area is occupied by the Blood Clan and Evil Spirits.

Yet, the world is still too big; even so, wanting to find Blood Clan gathering places is still very troublesome.

"It is better to find a map and understand the power distribution of the Blood Clan."

Lin Chao pondered.

After all, Lin Chao was not very clear about how strong the Blood Clan in the Inner World were.

If a Main God level one were to pop out while he was slaughtering indiscriminately like this, he would truly be done for.

"Holy City."

Lin Chao recalled the Holy City mentioned in Wang Zhen's words.

The Holy City is a city built by humans.

In the vast Inner World, there are ninety-nine Holy Cities built by humans.

Within these Holy Cities, countless human powerhouses gather; even the powerful forces of the Blood Clan and Evil Spirits are incredibly wary of the Holy Cities.

One can often see the Blood Clan sweeping through human Earth Caves, yet few among the Blood Clan dare to set their sights on the Holy Cities.

Even if they do, it is only when many Blood Princes unite to besiege a Holy City.

Every time such a war occurs, it causes turmoil throughout the entire Inner World.

After all, a Blood Prince, according to the Supernatural classification, is at the Eighth-Order God Realm!

"Let's go, let's head to the Holy City to take a look first.

Of course... if we encounter any Blood Clan gathering places along the way, we cannot miss them."

Lin Chao had a smile on his lips, his gaze calm.

To him, Blood Crystals were wealth, so he naturally would not miss them.

Half a month later.

Inside a cave.

Lin Chao opened his eyes: "Another Innate martial art at the Beginner level."

Lin Chao was quite excited.

Since arriving in the Inner World, his cultivation speed had increased by more than ten times.

In the past, for his martial arts to reach the Innate Realm, it would take half a year at the fastest, or one to two years at the slowest.

Now, he had achieved it in half a month.

This was related to him sweeping through quite a few Blood Clan gathering places over these past two weeks.

Among them, he had even swept through two Marquis territories.

"Senior Xu Ling, have you finished your cultivation?" At this moment, a weak voice came over.

The person speaking was named Li Ming, whom Lin Chao had rescued from a Marquis territory.

This Li Ming looked fair and clean, his aura comparable to a Fifth Tier Transcendental, and he appeared to be of extraordinary background.

"Yes." Lin Chao glanced at Li Ming, "How much further is it to Litian Holy City from here?"

Li Ming had once said that he originated from Litian Holy City, but had been abducted by the Blood Clan and became a prisoner.

Li Ming still looked somewhat weak now: "At Senior's travel speed, we should arrive in about four days."

"Are there any Blood Nobles in this vicinity?" Lin Chao asked.

In four days' time, he could sweep through several Blood Clan gathering places.

"No... none." Li Ming was somewhat surprised.

This place was very close to the Holy City, and those Blood Clan members did not dare to come here.

Those human martial artists, even the Holy Warriors, would avoid Blood Clan gathering places at all costs.

Yet, this Senior was so keen on Slaying the Blood Clan.

One must know, the more Blood Clan members a human Slays, the denser the scent of blood on their body becomes.

In that case, once the powerhouses among the Blood Clan discovered them, they would Slay them without mercy.

It might even provoke a Blood Prince to take action.

Therefore, those Holy Warriors, unless they stayed in the Holy City at all times, would at most Slay some Blood Nobles; they were unwilling to personally deal with those Ordinary Blood Clan members.

"What a pity." Lin Chao sighed.

It seemed he would have to waste four days of time.
