Chapter 280: There is blood of my Ji family in your body (Seeking monthly tickets)

Reddish-gold divine blood sprayed out from Qin Tianchen's neck.

At this moment, he was still maintaining the divine power state, yet his head had been blown off by Li Hao's punch!

Seeing this scene, the crowd discussing in front of the cliff fell silent in an instant.

Several figures with outstanding postures in the crowd were even more shocked and speechless, not daring to believe this was true.

The youth's treasure robe was shattered, he held a silver sword, resisted the attacks of two Absolute Technique Realm experts, and his body surface was torn by several wounds, but they healed in the blink of an eye, his recovery ability astonishing.

The Sacred Heart Treasure Talisman blocking in front of Qin Tianchen hadn't been able to block this punch from Li Hao. Although the effect of the Sacred Heart Treasure Talisman was good, it only had power comparable to the Dao Heart Realm. Rarer Sacred Heart Treasure Talismans were more refined in grade and could be comparable to the full-force strike of a Fate-Reversing Realm cultivator.

But the power Li Hao erupted with at this moment had long exceeded what the Sacred Heart Treasure Talisman could bear.

This was, after all, only a talisman, not a Sacred Heart Heavenly Treasure.

"Young Master!!"

The two old men saw Qin Tianchen severely injured and were horrified, roaring as they unleashed Qin family secret techniques. Their entire body's momentum suddenly increased violently, reaching the peak of the Absolute Technique Realm, and two absolute techniques landed on Li Hao simultaneously.

Li Hao's entire body's aura surged, wanting to kill this Qin family Young Master by force.

*Boom! * He stirred up a sword tide and swept out, rapidly scouring the opponent's body.

Despite his head being severed, Qin Tianchen's physical body was extremely terrifying, and under the divine power state, the blood at his neck stopped quickly, and his head actually showed signs of regeneration.

His primordial spirit shrank within his flesh, not daring to reveal itself. At this moment, seeing Li Hao killing over like a madman, Qin Tianchen's heart trembled—was this wanting to perish together?

"Reverse Fate!"

He was grief-stricken in his heart, roaring as he unleashed his Fate-Reversing power.

Power vibrated in the void, and the two old men's attacks seemed to suddenly accelerate. Just as the sword Qi manipulated by Li Hao was about to completely shred Qin Tianchen's body, the attacks hit ahead of time.

*Boom! * Li Hao fell straight down like a cannonball, smashing heavily into the ground below.

The earth collapsed, the hills trembled, like a million-ton giant rock falling.

But the next moment, the ground exploded, and Li Hao crawled out of the pit, bathed in divine flames, his aura released, his tattered treasure robe stained with reddish-gold divine blood, but the wounds had already healed.

What a ferocious physical body!

Everyone watched in horror. This youth's body was simply a top-tier divine weapon; Absolute Technique Realm experts couldn't even severely injure him?! One had to know, the aura the opponent leaked was only in the Three Imperishable Realms!

God Clan Heaven's Pride!

At this moment, everyone thought of Li Hao's earlier words in unison, unable to help but hold their breath.

Could it be that deep within the Great Desolate Heaven, there were secrets they didn't know, and there truly existed an ancient God Clan?! "He didn't die even from that?!"

The two old men saw Li Hao climb up so quickly and were both astonished. Their attacks had been terrifying enough, yet they were useless against this youth.

"Young Master, run!"

One of the old men suddenly reacted and hurriedly said.

The other old man's face also changed. By now, the ferocity the youth had displayed had exceeded their understanding. If they continued to fight, they didn't know what trump cards Li Hao had. The Young Master's Fate-Reversing power was used up, so they shouldn't stay long.

"I, Qin Tianchen, swear not to be human if I don't kill you!"

Qin Tianchen also sobered up, staring dead at the youth, imprinting him into his Dao Heart.

His brother had died, and he had lost one life himself; he was extremely furious in his heart, but as a Heaven's Pride, he still restrained this anger.

Without hesitation, his primordial spirit wrapped around the headless corpse and flew away toward the distance.

The old man covered his retreat, while the other old man rushed toward Li Hao.

"Die!"

This old man's entire body's major meridians collapsed, his primordial spirit burned, and at the same time, he unleashed a Qin family secret technique, his entire body like a dazzling sun, erupting with momentum that swept across all directions.

Li Hao wanted to pursue, but seeing the old man blocking before him, his expression changed slightly. A desperate counterattack from an Absolute Technique Realm expert, and an Absolute Technique Realm expert from a Desolate Ancient Sacred Clan at that—this momentum required him to treat it with caution.

The Heaven and Earth Pulse rapidly drew power from heaven and earth, and Li Hao connected to more power, suddenly connecting to forty percent!

His entire body's flesh and blood bulged, showing signs of being stretched to the limit.

If he reached fifty percent, the flesh and blood on his surface would show signs of tearing.

*Boom! * Li Hao soared into the sky, fighting with this old man.

The two fought in a chaotic battle, thunder and fire divine light intertwined, sword Qi soaring into the sky.

Such a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering death battle caused the crowd in front of the cliff to avoid it one after another, afraid of being caught in the aftermath.

Lasting for half an incense stick, the old man's burning primordial spirit and major meridians gradually weakened; they had burned out.

His entire body's robe was torn, blood dripping, his hunched body even more withered and old at this moment, but his eyes revealed extreme unwillingness and fear.

Li Hao was also bathed in blood, but there were no wounds on his body; the torn wounds had all healed during the battle, his recovery ability terrifyingly strong! The old man gasped slightly, then unleashed the power of non-decay, fighting a great battle again, leveling the nearby mountain peaks and smashing deep pits into the ground in front of the cliff.

Finally, the old man's strength failed again and he was slashed open by Li Hao.

This flowing-silver divine sword was a divine weapon of Eight Castings, but at this moment it was full of notches, the blade incomplete.

Li Hao held this broken sword, unleashed the Sacrificial Spirit True Demon Technique, and without avoiding it, directly absorbed the old man's physical essence in front of everyone, converting it into essence blood power to refine himself.

When the old man's corpse withered and turned gray, Li Hao slapped it casually, rubbing it into ashes, leaving no trace to avoid his technique's secrets being pried into.

After doing all this, Li Hao looked toward the crowd in front of the cliff.

This glance made the crowd watching from afar feel as if their hearts had stopped for a moment.

This youth was too ferocious, killing Qin Tianchen's own brother, and taking one life from Qin Tianchen, and even the older generation of the Qin family's Absolute Technique Realm experts couldn't kill him even by risking their lives—it was simply terrifying! Moreover, the more Li Hao fought, the stronger his aura became; this method made them completely unable to understand.

This youth's body seemed to be a bottomless pit, becoming braver the more he fought, like a barbaric beast, having a feeling of invincibility.

At this moment, Li Hao retracted his divine power state and also ended his Immortal Transformation. His entire body felt waves of soreness and swelling, but under the self-healing of his physical body, it gradually dissipated.

He held the broken sword and walked toward the cliff.

With every step the youth took, the crowd in the distance felt their hearts tremble.

Someone finally couldn't bear it, turned around and fled, wanting to spread the news of what happened here—a God Clan Heaven's Pride had been born in the Great Desolate Heaven! "The second blood body condensed by the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King there is a great nourishment for you."

Ji Yunguo was hiding on Li Hao's body. Now that the battle was over, he gave Li Hao a sound transmission for guidance.

Only, he didn't comment on Li Hao's battle with Qin Tianchen, as if he were pondering something else.

Li Hao looked at the cave at the cliff. A crimson vine was lying there, motionless.

Others followed Li Hao's gaze and also looked at the cliff cave. Several men and women with outstanding postures among them had slight changes in their eyes, but they hesitated and didn't act.

They could see that the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King had already given birth to its second blood body and was at its weakest moment.

But, this youth was right in front of the cliff—who dared to act? Even the Qin family's older generation Absolute Technique Realm expert had been killed. Unless the Qin family's core strongest older generation came out, otherwise, these families and tribes would all have to avoid him.

What made them even more wary was the prestige this youth had reported earlier.

Great Desolate God Clan!

Unheard of!

Just a youth stepping out from that God Clan was so ferocious; if the elders behind this youth came out, what kind of terror would that be? Li Hao saw that no one acted, so he wasn't polite, directly unleashing his object-manipulation power and extending it into the cave.

In the cave, a three-zhang-long blood-red vine lay quietly beside the thick vine of the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King.

Seeming to sense Li Hao, this blood-red vine raised its body, twisting like a poisonous snake, and a voice entered Li Hao's ears:

"Youth, please, spare my blood body. You can eat my main body; the power contained within it is not inferior to my blood body. I just want to leave here..."

Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly. This voice was mournful—was it the voice of the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King?

"Why shouldn't I choose to eat both?" Li Hao asked back.

"If you do that, although I can't beat you, I can make my main body self-destruct, and before you get my blood body, I will also tear my blood body apart, so you will get nothing!"

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King said, clearly this was a desperate choice of certain death.

Li Hao's gaze flickered. In that case, wanting to get the opponent's blood body was indeed a bit tricky.

If it were a struggle between other tribes, this Demon King might not necessarily make such a desperate choice. After all, with everyone fighting and snatching, it still had a glimmer of hope for escape, but in front of him, there was no hope at all.

It really might make an extreme choice like this.

Li Hao thought for a moment and said: "Then I'll taste your main body first, don't resist."

"If you can swear by your Dao Heart to spare my blood body, I will absolutely not resist..." the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King said cautiously.

"I haven't condensed a Dao Heart yet."

"..."

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King only then realized that the aura Li Hao revealed was only in the Three Imperishable Realms.

This youth was actually truly only in the Three Imperishable Realms!

"Then, then you use your martial dao to guarantee..."

"You're a bit long-winded. You don't have the qualifications to negotiate conditions. Or else, you can have a fight with me; anyway, I'm not tired." Li Hao replied coldly.

"..."

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King hesitated. If it were someone else, it naturally wouldn't agree so easily, but it had seen all of this youth's battles just now. Even if it fought to the death, it had no chance of winning. "Then you have to keep your word."

It could only say aggrievedly.

Li Hao couldn't be bothered to say more, raising his hand to drag its main body with his object-manipulation power, then dragging one end of its body before him.

Li Hao operated the Sacrificial Spirit True Demon Technique, directly refining its main body.

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King rapidly transferred its primordial spirit to its second blood body. Its purpose in condensing this blood body was to hope to break free from the shackles of this Crimson Wood Corpse Ridge.

Its main body was born from absorbing the essence blood of the corpses of those who heard the Dao, and it was also shackled by their Dao Realm, unable to break free, so it could only sacrifice thousands of years of cultivation to reincarnate and break free.

"That Crimson Blood Vine Demon King actually didn't resist."

"He's going to eat its main body along with it, so ferocious!"

"What kind of technique is that? It feels so evil. Is this really the God Clan? Why does it feel like calling it a Demon is more appropriate?"

The Heaven's Pride of the various tribes in the distance saw this scene, their faces turning cold. The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King didn't even have the thought of resisting in front of this youth's ferocious might—it was truly scary enough.

Soon, the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King's main body was all absorbed by Li Hao, and all the Demon King precious blood in its body was melted by Li Hao.

He couldn't absorb this essence blood like an elixir, but he could convert it through this technique, and the effect was comparable to eating an elixir, with no side effects at all.

With the refining of the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King's essence blood, Li Hao felt the fatigue from the earlier great battle swept away, and within his body, like a furnace, vigorous life force was burning constantly.

He felt he could rely on this power to refine his physical body to a stronger level.

However, now was not the time for cultivation.

He locked his gaze on the cave and said to the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King's second blood body: "I'm full, I'm leaving first."

"Eh, wait!"

Seeing that Li Hao actually kept his word and was going to spare it, the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King was somewhat pleasantly surprised. Seeing Li Hao about to leave, it hurriedly called out to stop him.

"Hmm?"

Li Hao asked with slight surprise: "You've gone back on your word?"

Crimson Blood Vine Demon King: =() What word would I go back on?

"Can you take me with you?"

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King transmitted its voice, saying pitifully.

Li Hao raised an eyebrow, then glanced at the Great Desolate Heaven humans around, thought for a moment, and said: "Are you afraid of death? It's fine to follow me, but this requires paying extra interest."

"What is interest?"

"It means you have to give me benefits."

"I can let you take another bite, but not more."

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King said timidly.

The way Li Hao ate its main body earlier had scared it badly; this youth was too ferocious.

But Li Hao's attitude of leaving just like that made it realize that this ferocious youth also had a kind side, so it hurriedly seized the opportunity to speak and ask to stay.

"Fine."

Li Hao agreed, then said: "Then hurry out of the cave. That guy from earlier escaped; don't drag it out too long, the opponent is going back to bring reinforcements."

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King said: "Okay!"

Then a flash of blood light flew out from the mountain cave, its body shrinking and twisting, rapidly rushing to Li Hao's front.

"They're going to fight!"

The crowd watching from afar had their gazes fixed.

But then they all widened their eyes, seeing the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King's blood body actually shrink into a small piece of withered vine, wrapping around Li Hao's arm like a vine ring, its light shrinking. Looking at that appearance, it was clearly subdued! "No way? They didn't even fight, and it directly recognized a master?"

"Is this vine demon so sensible?"

"No wonder the main body didn't resist earlier. It looks like they secretly communicated and made a deal!"

"I think this vine demon is using this youth's hand to try to break free from here."

"Hmph, that youth is no good person; this vine demon is playing with fire!"

The Heaven's Pride of various tribes were all resentful in their hearts, but thinking of that youth's terrifying combat power, they could only sigh and look on.

Li Hao didn't linger here any longer, unleashing the Heaven and Earth Without Trace technique, flying rapidly in the direction Ji Yunguo had pointed out earlier.

After leaving the Crimson Wood Corpse Ridge, Li Hao sensed several obscure auras following behind, sneered, and flew at full speed, shaking off those few auras in the blink of an eye.

"There really are people who won't give up, guessing you would separate from me outside the mountain ridge and wanting to rob you."

After flying far away, Li Hao said to the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King on his wrist.

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King also sensed it, and hearing Li Hao's words, hurriedly said: "Thank you, benefactor!"

"Don't call me that so quickly. We agreed on this; this favor isn't for free, let me take a bite."

Li Hao said.

"..."

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King paused slightly, then obediently extended a blood vine from the vine ring to Li Hao's mouth.

Li Hao wasn't polite either, directly biting it off and chewing *crunch, crunch*.

The texture wasn't very good, like chewing a piece of very woody meat.

Soon, the blood vine was swallowed into his stomach, and Li Hao felt a wave of warm power surge into his body, but compared to absorbing its main body earlier, it was too weak.

Unless he swallowed it all.

"It's about time here, you go."

After flying several thousand miles away, Li Hao said to the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King.

Along the way, he encountered four Demon Kings, but he easily killed them, melting their bodies and absorbing the flesh and blood essence. Together with the vigorous main body power of the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King, Li Hao's physical body was refined to be comparable to Nine Castings of divine weapons.

Now, even in the Dao Domain of the Peaceful Dao Realm, Li Hao could barely hold on for a while.

"Benefactor, can I continue to follow you?"

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King extended a tentacle from the vine ring, gently touching Li Hao's arm and rubbing it, as if begging.

Li Hao was surprised. How long had it been, why did it recognize a master?

"Aren't you afraid I'll eat you?"

"... This outside seems more dangerous than I imagined. How about, benefactor, you take me to a safer place?"

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King said cautiously.

Li Hao suddenly realized.

It seems it wasn't that his charm was too great.

It was that the deterrent power of the Demon Kings here was too great.

"Fine, but before that, I have to collect interest every day." Li Hao said.

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King was silent for a small moment, then agreed: "Hmm, okay."

"In your human language, does keeping a promise mean hooking pinkies?" it asked.

At the same time, a blood vine tentacle extended from the vine ring, bending like a little finger.

Li Hao glanced at it and said indifferently: "Forget it, sometimes promises made by hooking pinkies don't necessarily count."

"Is that so?"

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King was puzzled, then said: "Do you think I'm a Demon, so I'm very cunning? Let's try hooking pinkies, I will definitely keep my word!"

Li Hao let out a light hum, couldn't be bothered to answer, and didn't pay attention.

The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King saw Li Hao ignoring it, and its crimson blood vine whiskers slowly wrapped around Li Hao's little finger: "Then I'll hook pinkies myself, okay? Although I'm a Demon, I will keep my word!"

Li Hao continued to fly forward.

Speeding like lightning, occasionally stopping to rest, then continuing on the journey.

"Kid, you are also a person of my Ji family, right?"

Along the way, Ji Yunguo, who had been quiet for a long time, having only said one sentence since Li Hao finished fighting Qin Tianchen, now said his second sentence.

Hearing his voice, Li Hao's forward-moving body suddenly stiffened slightly.

"Senior, don't you know my background?"

Li Hao quickly remained calm and transmitted his voice back.

Ji Yunguo, however, laughed: "You kid, still pretending in front of me. Just now when you fought Qin Tianchen, divine blood was exposed. Although your self-healing ability is fast, and I don't know what technique you cultivated to mask your own aura, making it very difficult for even me to probe, the aura contained in the blood scattered when you were injured couldn't be masked."

"There is blood of my Ji family in your body!"
