Chapter 271: Chapter 270: Killing Spree

SPURT!

As he landed, Wu Chen flicked his wrist.

The fleshy armor vanished, and the Upper Envoy impaled on the tip of his spear collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.

[Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body (Great Success) Proficiency +2100]

[Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body (Great Success) Proficiency +2100]

[...]

The Qi and Blood from a Leakless Realm expert was astonishing. As he absorbed it through the spear’s tip, the proficiency on his panel visibly skyrocketed.

Wu Chen gave it a cursory glance before turning his attention to the Upper Envoy’s corpse before him.

He bent down, took the storage pouch from the corpse’s waist, and quickly inspected its contents. His gaze fell upon seven perfectly round, lustrous Soul-Storage Pearls inside!

’This trip is probably going to yield quite a few Soul-Storage Pearls.’

’Never mind Martial Arts for other realms, Master should be able to recall a few Dragon Transformation Realm techniques, right?’

Just as Wu Chen thought this, before he could feel happy, his expression fell.

He remembered that after returning to the Celestial Star Sect ruins last time, his waist token had run out of energy.

So far, he still hadn’t found any spiritual materials to recharge it.

So just having Soul-Storage Pearls wasn’t enough!

He had to find spiritual materials to recharge his waist token before he could return to the Celestial Star Sect and get Martial Arts from his master!

’No rush. I’ll deal with this after I’ve swept through the Blood Palace.’

’Master said that practicing Martial Arts that don’t match one’s realm is more harmful than helpful to the body. This is especially true for the Dragon Transformation Realm, which is above Grandmaster, so I must be even more cautious!’

’Who knows, maybe one of these encampments will have Spiritual Objects like an Earth Milk Spirit Pool.’

With that thought, Wu Chen was no longer in a hurry.

His priority right now was still to max out the proficiency of his Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body.

After that, he would sweep through the Blood Palace’s other encampments in Cold Rain City to see if he could find more Armor Forging Realm Martial Arts and quickly raise his current realm.

’My Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body is still short on a lot of Qi and Blood. I can’t let these corpses go to waste!’

No matter how many tasks he had, they had to be done one by one. Wu Chen lowered his gaze to the stone pool not far away, from which wisps of Blood Qi emanated, then looked at the corpses scattered around the town.

His figure flickered, and he flicked his longspear.

THUD! THUD! THUD!—

The Upper Envoy’s body, along with the corpses of the fiends he had slain whose Qi and Blood had not yet been absorbed, were all flung by Wu Chen’s spear, soaring through the air in an arc and landing in the Blood Pool.

BOOM!—

The hundreds of corpses churned violently as they landed in the Blood Pool, and an extremely dense Blood Qi condensed into a red cloud of mist above it.

Wu Chen walked closer, and the aura within his body suddenly lunged into the air, tearing at the mist like a wild beast.

[Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body (Great Success) Proficiency +2500]

[Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body (Great Success) Proficiency +2500]

[...]

[Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body: Great Success!]

"It’s reached Great Success!"

Watching the bloody mist over the Blood Pool dissipate and the air clear, just as his Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body reached Great Success, Wu Chen couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

He had originally thought he would need to clear out another encampment to get his armor to Great Success.

It seemed the Upper Envoy’s Qi and Blood had been so abundant that it saved him a lot of trouble.

But the next stage of the Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body was also slowly unfolding before Wu Chen’s eyes:

[Based on the density of Qi and Blood here, raising Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body to Perfection will require ’eighteen days’]

[Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body (Perfection) Proficiency +1]

[Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body (Perfection) Proficiency +1]

[...]

"Eighteen days."

Wu Chen nodded, not at all displeased by the long training time.

Given the effects of this Martial Art, he felt it was well worth it.

’Time to hunt down the fiends who escaped!’

’They are all valuable resources. Can’t let them go to waste!’

The Blood Qi in the stone pool was completely refined. A white light flowed in the depths of Wu Chen’s eyes as he looked toward the outskirts of the town.

That was the direction where the remaining fiends, fewer than twenty of them, had fled.

He had no intention of letting them go.

Aside from needing to refine them into Qi and Blood,

the main reason was that if these people got the word out, the Blood Palace and its other encampments would be on guard.

Wu Chen naturally didn’t fear the Blood Palace, but letting them become prepared would certainly hinder his future plans.

So, after locking onto an aura, Wu Chen’s figure flickered and vanished in the blink of an eye.

...

An hour later, Wu Chen walked out of the town.

He skirted the foot of a nearby mountain and crossed a meandering stream, where he saw a beautiful figure poking her head out from the edge of the woods, a worried look on her face.

This figure was, of course, Sun Yuting, whom Wu Chen had told to wait outside.

Seeing the young man approaching steadily, Sun Yuting breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward. "Did you let two fiends go again this time?"

Wu Chen nodded. "Yeah. Otherwise, how would we find the next encampment?"

Sun Yuting clicked her tongue in silent amazement.

To be able to let two people go according to plan again meant that the young man’s fight with the Blood Palace fiends had been even easier than she had imagined!

It was probably a one-sided slaughter, no different from dicing melons and chopping vegetables.

Although Sun Yuting knew little about the Blood Palace, she knew they were definitely not an easy foe to deal with.

Moreover, in the past, she had only ever heard of the Blood Palace committing monstrous massacres somewhere.

Who would have thought that one day, the Blood Palace would be the one being tracked down and hunted!

And the one doing all of this was the young man of unknown origins standing right before her!

’How many more surprises do you have that I don’t know about!’

Sun Yuting looked at Wu Chen, her curiosity about him growing ever stronger.

"Let’s go. We need to hurry and follow those two we let escape. The sooner we finish things here, the sooner we can leave."

Wu Chen turned to avoid the girl’s gaze and led the way in the direction of the familiar pair.

Now that he understood the Blood Palace’s scheme in Cold Rain City, the next step was simply a contest of who had the bigger fist.

Whose methods of killing were more efficient.

Of course, Wu Chen wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could take on a behemoth like the Blood Palace by himself.

After all, they were a power that had been rooted in this region for a hundred years.

Previously, in the secret realm of the Blood Road trial, he and Hong Ling had heard that the Blood Palace had twelve Leakless Realm experts, who were considered first-rate masters.

As for the second-rate Blood Coagulation Realm experts, they had eight hundred to a thousand of them.

But after the slaughter at two encampments, Wu Chen believed that Hong Ling had still underestimated the Blood Palace’s strength. Of course, he couldn’t blame the girl for having faulty information.

After all, for a fiendess from a branch like the Blood Slaughter Sect who was only at the Meridian Passage Realm, it was already quite difficult to know this much.

Wu Chen estimated that the number of Leakless Realm experts in the Blood Palace had to be at least double the number Hong Ling had mentioned.

In other words, twenty or more. That was a more reasonable number.

As for the Blood Coagulation Realm, there would be no problem assuming their numbers were in the thousands.

After all, with so many heretical Martial Arts at their disposal, it wasn’t difficult for the Blood Palace to artificially inflate their members’ realms.

But facing such a massive power, Wu Chen believed he wasn’t without a chance to clash with them.

For one, there were only two of them. They could fight or flee as the situation demanded, with no other worries holding them back.

But what about the Blood Palace’s encampments for cultivating the Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body?

They were just sitting there, unable to run away!

He could be the thief for a thousand days, striking the Blood Palace when they least expected it.

But if the Blood Palace had to guard against a thief for a thousand days, they would probably be harassed to the point of exhaustion.

"..."

The next steps were simple: follow the fiends’ trail, arrive at the encampment, and then start killing!

On the second day, the third encampment for cultivating the Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body was annihilated by Wu Chen.

On the fifth day, the fourth encampment for cultivating the Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body was annihilated by Wu Chen.

On the seventh day, the fifth encampment for cultivating the Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body was annihilated by Wu Chen.

[Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body: Perfection!]

"It’s finally reached Perfection!"

Three consecutive encampments had been destroyed, each with a Leakless Realm Upper Envoy present, which allowed Wu Chen to obtain a massive amount of Qi and Blood.

This also caused his Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body proficiency to skyrocket, reaching Perfection!

’Is there no next stage?’

Wu Chen waited for a moment, and seeing no new notifications on the panel, he looked at his overall status with a hint of disappointment:

[Deep Red Host] Wu Chen

[Martial Arts Realm] Armor Forging Realm, Third Level

[Martial Arts & Cultivation Techniques] ’Meridian-Severing Dragon-Capture: Treasured’, ’Mountain-Shattering Steps: Treasured’, ’Mountain-Breaking Saber: Treasured’, ’Cold Qi Body Forging Skill: Treasured’, ’Blood Evil True Gang: Perfection’, ’Blood and Flesh Cast Armor Body: Perfection’
