Chapter 306: Slaughter (Subscription can be skipped!)

"Humans?"

"As expected, humans are hiding here."

A coarse voice rang out.

Only to see a Blood Clan member with red wings on his back appear.

His blood-colored wings were bright and crimson, exuding a bewitching aura.

Behind him, hundreds of Blood Clan members followed closely.

His eyes held a look of joy as he looked at everyone present.

"Duke Blood-Clad?" Li Lianqi's expression changed drastically.

The person who had arrived was none other than the Duke Blood-Clad they had been talking about earlier.

Duke Blood-Clad had unexpectedly discovered their location.

Count Blood-Clad's gaze fell upon the few Blood Clan corpses, then shifted to Li Lianqi.

"Li Lianqi, I didn't expect you to actually come here.

Slaying a Commander of Litian Holy City, that counts as a great achievement."

Duke Blood-Clad was one of the eight great Dukes under Three-Eyed Prince, and his strength was formidable.

At this moment, looking at Li Lianqi, the greedy expression on his face grew even more intense.

Dahuang Holy City had been destroyed, and those Commanders and Grand Commanders had all been divided up by other Dukes.

Up until now, all he had slain were small fry.

Duke Blood-Clad was powerful, so naturally, he was unwilling to end things like this.

Now, encountering a Commander from Litian Holy City, he felt it was a great achievement for himself.

According to Three-Eyed Prince's orders, Duke Blood-Clad understood that once Dahuang Holy City was completely pacified, the several Princes might point their swords toward Litian Holy City.

A look of wariness appeared on Li Lianqi's face as he calculated a way to escape.

His strength was very high, but compared to Duke Blood-Clad, he was still a significant distance behind.

"Who wins and who loses is not yet known; Duke Blood-Clad, you are rejoicing too early." Li Lianqi spoke, his gaze resolute.

At this moment, tensions were high, and they had to fight.

"Heh heh." Duke Blood-Clad laughed loudly.

Li Lianqi and Duke Blood-Clad exchanged words, but Li Lianqi was merely stalling for time.

He sent a voice transmission to his deputy behind him: "I will hold off Duke Blood-Clad, you all leave."

Li Lianqi knew this battle would surely be lost; only in this way could he minimize the losses.

"Commander, you leave, we will hold off Duke Blood-Clad," the deputy said immediately.

"You cannot stop Duke Blood-Clad," Li Lianqi sighed.

Duke Blood-Clad's strength was very formidable.

Even Li Lianqi asked himself, he could not defeat Duke Blood-Clad.

"Commander..." the deputy felt deep grief.

At this time, Duke Blood-Clad's attention shifted from Li Lianqi to Lin Chao, who was not far away.

"The Blood Qi on your body... is very dense.

This battle shall serve as a sacrifice for my blade!"

Whenever a member of the Human Race slays a member of the Blood Clan, Blood Qi accumulates within their body.

This kind of Blood Qi can only be seen by the Blood Clan.

The human before him had Blood Qi in his body that was incomparably dense, even denser than Li Lianqi's.

This meant that the human before him had slain at least a thousand members of the Blood Clan.

Such a person, Duke Blood-Clad would naturally not let go.

"Mr. Xu Ling, this is Duke Blood-Clad; I will hold him off, sir, please leave quickly."

Li Lianqi's voice transmission reached Lin Chao's ears.

A smile appeared on Lin Chao's face: "He is the Blood Crystal I want."

"Blood Crystal?" Hearing Lin Chao's words, Duke Blood-Clad also smiled, "My Blood Crystal is inside my own body; it just depends on whether you have the ability to take it."

Beside them, Li Lianqi also did not expect that Xu Ling would actually be thinking of taking Duke Blood-Clad's Blood Crystal?

He looked over and saw Duke Blood-Clad's body move; the great battle began.

He hurriedly prepared to fly over to help Xu Ling fight the enemy.

If Xu Ling happened to be as strong as him, perhaps the two of them joining forces could defeat Duke Blood-Clad.

However, a scene that made Li Lianqi's jaw drop occurred.

Duke Blood-Clad charged toward Lin Chao with extreme speed.

Those blood-red wings were indestructible and incomparably sharp.

If they landed on a person, even a Seventh Tier martial artist would be instantly sliced into several pieces.

Yet, Lin Chao reached out his hand and grabbed the wings with one hand.

The hardest part of Duke Blood-Clad's entire body was grabbed by Lin Chao.

This scene... how could it not shock Li Lianqi.

"How did he do it?"

However, this thought did not last long.

Lin Chao's eyes held a smile: "You are the first Duke to die by my hand; you should be proud."

He grabbed Duke Blood-Clad's blood-colored fleshy wings as if he were grabbing a small chicken.

Lin Chao exerted force, and the Blood Duke was immediately thrown out by him.

Boom!

The Blood Duke was like a cannonball, landing amidst that large wave of the Blood Clan.

"Ah!"

"No!"

Those Blood Clan members let out screams of agony.

The Blood Duke's body was very fragile to Lin Chao, but to those Blood Clan members, it was incomparably hard.

Especially since it carried Lin Chao's great strength.

Smashing into their bodies, how could they resist?

With such a strike, two-thirds of the incoming Blood Clan troops were instantly wiped out.

As for the Blood Duke, his Divine Soul had already completely collapsed the moment he was flung out.

The remaining hundreds of Blood Clan members saw this, fear appearing on their faces.

Run!

The enemy was too powerful; they were no match.

Retreat a bit; with other experts around, this Human Race martial artist would surely be slain.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chao continued walking forward, his face without sorrow or joy.

"Die."

Following his voice, a powerful aura swept out.

The remaining hundreds of Blood Clan members had no ability to resist at all; their bodies stiffened, still retaining their fleeing postures.

And then, instantly.

Bang!

All the Blood Clan members continuously exploded, their bodies turning into blood mist, leaving behind only a large pool of Blood Crystals.

"Finally harvested some more Blood Crystals."

Lin Chao waved his hand, and these Blood Crystals were tucked away.

In the distance, Li Lianqi saw this scene and was completely dumbfounded.

"This kind of strength..."

This kind of strength was far greater than his own.

Even the Grand Commander was not as good as this Mr. Xu Ling.

Could it be that Xu Ling had already reached the Eighth Rank?

As soon as this thought arose in his mind, Li Lianqi immediately cast it aside.

In this world, apart from the City Lord of the Holy City, no Eighth Rank human had ever appeared.

After all, the Seventh Tier was the limit for humans.

To reach the Eighth Rank, one must rely on a Saint Spirit.

This Xu Ling did not have any aura of a Saint Spirit on him.

Therefore, he could not be Eighth Rank.

But... was the Seventh Tier really this strong?

Beside him, a glimmer of light finally appeared in Wang Zhen's dead, silent eyes.

"Mr. Xu Ling, leave quickly! You have slain the Blood Duke; it will inevitably attract the attention of other Blood Clan experts." Li Lianqi shouted at this moment, reminding Xu Ling.

After all, such a powerful Human Race martial artist was extremely rare.

If he obtained a Saint Spirit, he would certainly immediately become an Eighth Rank martial artist, and a strong one at that.

"Thanks for the good intentions... but there are many Blood Crystals waiting for me ahead."

Lin Chao responded, his figure continuing forward.

Receiving this reply, Li Lianqi was slightly stunned.

He was incomparably anxious.

Even if Xu Ling was at the Seventh Tier limit, there was still a limit!

This place was very close to Dahuang Holy City, and the number of Dukes was nearly a hundred.

How could Xu Ling alone be a match for those Dukes?

Moreover, there were millions, nearly ten million, of the Blood Clan here.

With so many Blood Clan experts, even if the Lihuo City Lord came in person, he would feel his scalp tingle.

Not to mention that there were currently seven Blood Princes in Dahuang Holy City.

Unless all the City Lords of the North Heaven Domain came in person, they could not drive the Blood Clan out of Dahuang Holy City.

Li Lianqi was incomparably worried, but his feelings were also very complicated.

Now, he did not dare to expose himself.

With the Blood Duke dead, he was also safe.

"You go to the resource point and take the resources away; I will go find Xu Ling." Li Lianqi issued the order and flew to follow him.

On the other side, Lin Chao moved through the air.

He looked over.

Everywhere his eyes fell, there was slaughter.

He could see countless amounts of blood flowing.

He could also hear the sounds of countless slaughters shaking the heavens and the earth.

With Dahuang Holy City as the core, battles were occurring in many places.

Inside many fortresses and Earth Caves, the Blood Clan were surrounding and slaughtering the Human Race.

The Human Race was in a state of one-sided defeat.

Every breath, dozens of the Human Race died at the hands of the Blood Clan.

Lin Chao felt a deep sorrow in his heart.

However, he suppressed this emotion.

"Blood Crystal."

A dense killing intent flashed in Lin Chao's eyes.

"Die."

Lin Chao raised his finger, and a powerful light descended from the sky, landing on a mountain.

On that mountain, there were thousands of the Blood Clan.

They were surrounding and attacking a group of remnants of the Human Race.

Yet, under this one finger from Lin Chao, the earth shook and the mountains swayed instantly.

Countless Blood Clan let out miserable screams.

"Ah!"

With the power of a single strike, thousands of the Blood Clan turned into ashes.

At this moment, Lin Chao did not have time to collect the Blood Crystals.

For every extra breath spent collecting Blood Crystals, dozens of the Human Race died at the hands of the Blood Clan.

"Die."

Lin Chao struck again, aiming at other battlefields.

With the same finger, another thousand Blood Clan died instantly.

These Ordinary Vampires had no ability to resist in the face of his powerful strength.

Inside the fortress, those Human Race warriors fighting in blood were momentarily stunned.

They saw Lin Chao, and expressions of awe appeared in their eyes.

An armless warrior knelt on one knee, looking at Lin Chao in the sky, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Many thanks to the senior for the grace of saving our lives."

However, before he could finish speaking, the senior in the sky had already disappeared.

The armless man looked at the sky and murmured: "Senior, take care."

At this moment, Lin Chao appeared at another battlefield and struck again.

Every time he struck, at least several hundred Blood Clan perished.

This was extremely terrifying, but to the entire battlefield, it was only the tip of the iceberg.

Lin Chao's strikes also attracted the attention of quite a few Blood Clan powerhouses.

Immediately, quite a few Blood Counts struck out, attacking Lin Chao.

"How dare you, you brat!"

"This Human Race warrior is very strong, he is a big fish, kill him!"

Instantly, three Blood Dukes and twelve Blood Marquises killed their way toward Lin Chao.

Lin Chao's expression remained without joy or sorrow.

"Die."

He parted his lips slightly, his voice flat.

However, once the voice fell, Blood Clan would inevitably die.

To the Blood Clan, this was truly the sound of demons.

Instantly, these attacking Blood Dukes and Marquises died on the battlefield.

"Continue."

Lin Chao continued forward.

The slaughter continued.

Every Blood Crystal from the Blood Clan was useful to him.

Therefore, he would not refrain from killing them just because those Blood Clan were weak.

In any case, it was just a matter of waving his hand.

He continued forward, and wherever his gaze fell, Blood Clan perished, and many of the Human Race were saved.

Everyone saw Lin Chao, kneeling on the ground, revealing the joy of surviving a disaster.

They wanted to thank that Human Race powerhouse, but only saw the back of that Human Race powerhouse.

That Human Race powerhouse kept approaching Dahuang Holy City, moving away from the center of the battlefield.

They were speechless, only feeling a sense of tragic heroism.

And at this time, the figure of Li Lianqi also appeared in the sky.

"What is going on, where exactly did Senior Xu Ling go?"

At this moment, he had already changed his form of address for Xu Ling, from Mister to Senior.

He had followed Xu Ling's trail all the way, but ended up losing him.

At first, he was still cautious, afraid of being discovered by the Blood Clan.

In the end, he realized that he had worried too much.

Wherever there were Blood Clan, there were corpses of the Blood Clan everywhere.

"Wang Can?" Suddenly, Li Lianqi was slightly stunned; he had discovered an acquaintance at the fortress here.

He looked at Wang Can's single arm, a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes.

"Brother Li, why have you come?" Wang Can was incomparably excited.

"Wang Can, have you seen Senior Xu Ling?" Li Lianqi told Wang Can about Xu Ling slaying the Blood-Clad Duke and continuing to slay the Blood Clan.

"You aren't talking about my benefactor, are you?" Wang Can immediately told Li Lianqi about how he had been saved.

The two looked at each other, expressions of shock appearing on their faces.

This Senior Xu Ling really went to kill the Blood Clan.

"We... should go take a look; in case Senior Xu Ling runs out of stamina, we can provide some support," Wang Can said.

"Alright," Li Lianqi agreed.

His heart was deeply shaken.

After all, according to Wang Can's description, thousands of the Blood Clan fell under a single strike from Mr. Xu Ling.

Among them were several Marquises and one Duke.

This kind of strength... Li Lianqi dared not imagine it.

Could it be... that Mr. Xu Ling really broke through to the Eighth Rank by relying on himself?

How could this be possible!

This shattered his understanding.

After all, without a Saint Spirit, the Human Race cannot break through to the Eighth Rank.

Li Lianqi and Wang Can continued to walk deeper into the battlefield, following Xu Ling's trail.

But the further they went, the greater the shock in their eyes became.

More and more human warriors were fleeing from the battlefield, and there were corpses of the Blood Clan everywhere.

"Marquis... Duke..."

"We have already seen eight corpses of Dukes now."

As for the Ordinary Vampire, the number was in the tens of thousands.

They questioned those human warriors who had left the battlefield, and they all said that a powerful warrior had saved them.

Li Lianqi and Wang Can knew that person was undoubtedly Xu Ling.

"How about... we speed up? Senior Xu Ling has very likely broken the limits of the human body," Li Lianqi said.

After all, when they were walking, they were still thinking about hiding their figures, so their speed was not the fastest.

As it turned out, the speed at which that Xu Ling was slaying the Blood Clan was even faster than them traveling.

This was extremely terrifying.

A terrifying thought even arose in Li Lianqi's heart.

Did that Xu Ling really break the limits of humanity?

Without relying on a Saint Spirit, he stepped directly into the Eighth Rank?

His heart was shocked.

He had not seen the means by which Lin Chao slew these Blood Clan members.

But it could be guessed that they were clearly all instant kills.

Tens of thousands of the Blood Clan had already died at the hands of Senior Xu Ling.

Among them were many Dukes and Marquises; as for Counts, they had become insignificant at this moment.

Even the Lihuo Chengzhuj would likely find it difficult to do this.

"If Senior Xu Ling really broke the limits of the Human Race, he must not die!" Wang Can's heart was also incomparably excited.

He knew what this represented.

This represented the hope of humanity.

"Let us increase our speed and catch up to Senior Xu Ling.

We must take him away before a Blood Prince discovers him," Wang Can said, his expression unable to hide his excitement.

Once a Blood Prince makes a move, even if Xu Ling has broken the limits of the human body, without relying on a Saint Spirit to break through to the Eighth Rank, he will undoubtedly die.

After all, there are seven Blood Princes here.

"I have already sent a message to the Lihuo Chengzhuj; he promised that if we are within three thousand li of the Holy City, he will risk making a move to bring Xu Ling into the city," Li Lianqi said with a grave expression.

He only hoped now that Xu Ling would not make any more moves.

After all, if he attracts the attention of a Blood Prince.

This place is too far from the Litian Holy City, and the Lihuo Chengzhuj would have no time to attend to it.

However, just at this moment.

Li Lianqi sensed something, his expression changing drastically: "A Blood Prince...??"

Thanks to 【altis74】 for the tip, thank you!
