Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 463: Chapter 462 Blood Slave_1

It was a windy night shrouded in darkness.

Ling Chen sat cross-legged on a wooden bed, regulating his breath and nurturing his spirit.

As a Fourth Stage Grandmaster, Ling Chen would be full of spirit the next day even if he didn’t sleep for the whole night. He could compress his rest and sleep time into a very short period.

This way, he had more time for cultivation.

Although Ling Chen had only recently advanced into the Grandmaster Fourth Realm, his aura was already quite stable. This was mainly due to the skills of Gu Qingcang, Yan Xiang, and others. These men were all geniuses of the Demonic Way. Their cultivation surpassed ordinary people, and their True Qi was thick and pure, several times superior to the average individual.

The True Qi slowly circulated around Ling Chen, completing a full Zhou Tian.

Suddenly, Ling Chen’s ears twitched as he discerned a position by listening to the wind, his gaze shooting hundreds of meters away.

WHOOSH!

With a swift movement, the window of Ling Chen’s room opened, and he disappeared from the room.

...

Following the sound, Ling Chen arrived outside the largest mansion in the city. This mansion was home to a prominent family.

The shadows he had just seen had evidently infiltrated this mansion.

Using the Wind Shadow Step, Ling Chen flew onto the roof. From this high vantage point, he condensed True Qi into his eyes and took in the entire situation.

About a dozen people in black infiltrated the area, abducting people left and right.

Ling Chen watched this scene unfold. It appeared that these men intended to take these people back to their sect to serve as ”Blood Slaves.”

In the context of the Blood Refining Sect, ”Blood Slaves” were slaves used by sect disciples and Elders for practice. The sect members cultivated techniques that required consuming fresh blood from living beings. They would regularly consume fresh blood from the Blood Slaves. The amounts were small, ensuring the slaves wouldn’t die immediately and could provide fresh blood over a long period—at least for several months.

Before coming here, Ling Chen had gathered a lot of information about the Blood Refining Sect. Although the sect had kidnapped people in the past, it was not as frequent as it was now. Currently, the nearby towns and cities had almost all become deserted.

Starting half a year ago, the Blood Refining Sect’s demand for Blood Slaves massively increased, leading to an alarming decrease in the local population.

Practically without making a sound, about a dozen young and middle-aged individuals from the mansion were taken away. Although some of them were warriors, there was a significant gap between them and these people in black.

If I follow these people, I should be able to find the location of the Blood Refining Sect.

Ling Chen’s eyes filled with determination. Even the intelligence from the Saint Witch Religion only indicated that the Blood Refining Sect was in this area, without specifying its exact location. However, since the sect’s forces had captured Blood Slaves, they would undoubtedly take them back immediately. If he followed them, he would surely find the exact location.

Just as he was about to follow them, suddenly, a slender shadow blocked the path of the people in black from the Blood Refining Sect.

Ling Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed as he recognized the face of the shadow—it was a remarkably beautiful woman.

The woman’s face seemed vaguely familiar, but Ling Chen couldn’t remember where he had seen her before.

”Who dares to block our path!”

A pale-faced man in black, with cold eyes, glared menacingly at the woman in front of him.

”You’re from the Blood Refining Sect, right? As I suspected, you’re kidnapping people again. My sister disappeared in this area not long ago. Did that have something to do with you?” the woman in black demanded coldly.

”Heh, we’ve kidnapped thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people. Who knows which one is your sister?”

The pale man grinned, his lustful gaze sweeping over the woman in black. ”Look at this woman. Her martial arts are good, and she’s quite lovely. She’s qualified enough to become my, Gui Bai’s, Blood Slave.”

”Boss Gui Bai, don’t hog such a catch all to yourself. You have to share. Let us have some fun first.”

”Exactly, let’s capture her first. Then, we can do whatever we want.”

The Blood Refining Sect members all leered, their lustful laughter echoing through the air.

”You’re courting death!”

The woman in black gritted her teeth, her eyes as cold as two stars. She drew her battle sword and swiftly thrust it forward.

”Wuxin Killing Sword!”

SWISH! An eight-meter-long sword qi erupted from the tip of the sword, leaving a trail on the ground.

”Heh heh! This little lady isn’t just pretty; her swordsmanship is impressive as well. I can’t wait!”

Gui Bai executed a movement technique, sidestepping swiftly to dodge the woman’s sword qi.

Just as the woman in black was preparing to launch her second sword strike, Gui Bai had already appeared behind her. He held a dagger in his hand and cackled next to her ear, ”Little girl, you’re still far too inexperienced!”

The woman in black was taken aback. A chill spread from the dagger, almost freezing her neck and making her dare not move.

”Tsk, tsk. Such tender skin. Let me have a taste.”

Gui Bai’s lips approached the woman’s white neck. He opened his chapped lips, revealing frighteningly white teeth, and was about to bite into her skin. Suddenly, his body shivered, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He clutched his chest and staggered backward.

A sharp dagger was lodged in his heart.

Retreating continuously, Gui Bai glanced at the woman who was now standing ten steps away, expressing his disbelief with a hoarse voice, ”You...you...”

As if gripped by an invisible chokehold, Gui Bai collapsed on the ground, blood gushing out continuously.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the woman in black now held a bloody sword. She gave Gui Bai a cold look and chuckled softly, ”Lusting after a woman in the middle of a battle? You truly don’t value your life.”

After speaking, she turned to the rest of the Blood Refining Sect members and demanded, ”Tell me, where have you hidden my sister? Otherwise, none of you will return to the Blood Refining Sect alive.”

”We...we really don’t know.”

Seeing Gui Bai slain by the woman in black, the remaining sect members turned ashen, realizing this woman in black possessed such formidable strength.

ROAR!

Suddenly, a deafening roar rang out on the street, stirring a fierce wind.

In an instant, dust was sent flying, and leaves were swept into the air.

Sensing this imposing aura, Ling Chen raised an eyebrow. Finally, a decent expert has arrived, with a cultivation level around the Great Master Seventh Realm.

In a second-tier Demonic Sect like the Blood Refining Sect, this person surely belonged to the upper echelons.

In his field of view, an elder figure swooped down like a bat, landing in the courtyard.

The elder appeared extremely thin; the bat wings behind him were formed by his condensed True Qi—a special martial art that allowed him to fly for brief periods.

”You dare kill a member of my Blood Refining Sect. You little bitch, you’re as good as dead.”

The elder bared his snowy-white teeth, and the chilling aura he emitted made people shudder with fear.
