Chapter 96

Near the inner city gate.

Suddenly, two Three Yang powerhouses exploded out.

Not long after, Hong Yitang’s second wife also arrived.

Hong Yitang whispered a few words, and this woman, who did not look particularly beautiful, pondered for a moment before saying, "The Sword Sect would not secretly harm Li Hao. They can’t and dare not. Master Yuan is a leading figure among martial artists... The Sword Sect doesn’t have the courage to harm Master Yuan’s disciple!"

Hong Yitang hurriedly nodded.

This blame, he couldn’t bear.

Others might not know, but he was very clear about Yuan Shuo. If Hong Yitang killed his student... Yuan Shuo would really kill him, by any means. He understood Yuan Shuo, and Yuan Shuo also understood the elders of the Silver Moon martial world.

At that time, it would be more troublesome than offending the three major organizations.

No one said anything, but Li Hao coughed and said, "I believe the Sword Sect wouldn’t do such a thing... Uncle Hong, rest assured, I, Li Hao, won’t wrong anyone without cause!"

As he spoke, he coughed again, with some blood, indicating that his internal organs were severely damaged.

From the sound of his cough, it didn’t seem fake.

Actually, it wasn’t fake to begin with.

Everyone present was a powerhouse; if it were fake, they would have seen through it at a glance. No one believed Li Hao was faking his condition.

Li Hao took a breath and continued, "Let’s just let this go! Besides, it’s my own fault for not being skilled enough. Perhaps the attacker wasn’t at the Three Yang level... If they weren’t, it would be normal for me to be killed. Martial artists don’t need to dwell on such things!"

He then looked at Zi Yue and hesitated before saying, "Leader Zi Yue... Can you give me a Blood God Pill? My injuries are severe, and if there’s another battle, I’m afraid I might die."

"..."

Silence.

Zi Yue’s face was icy.

A Blood God Pill?

That’s a Shadow God!

Is Li Hao crazy?

Hong Yue and he are enemies, and he actually asks her for a Shadow God to heal himself.

Li Hao said sincerely, "Now, my injuries are severe, and my internal organs are damaged. Ordinary mystic energy has no effect. Unless it’s some legendary treasure, otherwise... the best thing to heal a martial artist’s injuries is a Blood God Pill. There’s no need to say more. I just need one... Leader Zi Yue, I think Hong Yue wouldn’t want to see me die."

Zi Yue’s face was icy, and she said coldly, "Li Hao, are you looking for death? Or do you think it’s really great to die?"

Li Hao sighed and said nothing more.

Hao Lianchuan frowned and said, "Zi Yue, if you have one, why not give it to him?"

Hu Dinfang stepped forward and said coldly, "If you don’t have one... I’ll enter the city and kill a few Hong Yue superhumans, maybe I’ll get one!"

Zi Yue said coldly, "You can try! Even if you kill all of Hong Yue’s people, I won’t care."

"Then let’s try!"

Hu Dinfang punched out, and the sound of dragons roaring and tigers growling echoed, showing his immense power.

Zi Yue was severely injured at the moment. Just asking for one Blood God Pill, and she wouldn’t give it... It was no different from asking for Hu Dinfang’s life. If she didn’t give it, he would fight!

Zi Yue also erupted, and with a loud boom, the thunder was actually shattered by Hu Dinfang’s punch, and his arm was unharmed, continuing to punch out!

Like a roaring tiger!

The few people around were all stunned. This guy, after learning the Five Animals Technique and becoming a superhuman, was really powerful, even comparable to that Sun Yifei.

Both at the late Three Yang stage, they were martial artists, and the Five Animals Technique was particularly essential. Hu Dinfang was a metal-type powerhouse, with extremely strong offensive capabilities. One punch was comparable to a late Three Yang’s full-strength attack.

Zi Yue was injured, and her Thunder God Armor was damaged, so she didn’t have any advantage and was constantly being suppressed.

Sun Yifei, even in the central region, had once killed pure Three Yang peak powerhouses, at the superhuman level, not the kind who had just advanced to martial artist. He was extremely powerful, not a weak Three Yang.

Now, Hu Dinfang could match him, which was why he had been so arrogant before.

Boom!

A series of loud booms echoed as Zi Yue kept retreating, and the thunder power exploded wildly.

At this moment, the Wheel King, who had been silent, finally spoke up: "Is it necessary to have an internal conflict now? The inner city gate hasn’t opened yet, and there are countless treasures inside. Is it worth it?"

After saying that, he added, "Zi Yue, there should be Hong Yue martial artists who died inside the city. You should have recovered some Shadow Gods... Li Hao’s injuries are severe. Why not give him a Blood God Pill, not too strong, a Moon Shadow or Sun Radiance one would do. Hong Yue can afford to lose one Shadow God, right?"

Hu Dinfang stopped fighting.

He actually didn’t want to fight to the death with Zi Yue because the Wheel King wouldn’t stand by. Yan Luo and Hong Yue each had only one Three Yang, and they had actually reached some tacit agreements, even if they weren’t working together.

Cooperation!

Two Night Patrol members, two Flying Heaven members, two Sword Sect members... if they didn’t cooperate now, they would be foolish.

Despite their strength, two fists can’t fight four hands, right?

Zi Yue’s expression changed, somewhat cold.

One Blood God Pill... wasn’t much.

But this indignation... was really hard to swallow.

She looked at Li Hao, who had been honest just now, but was now staring at her without fear. Seeing Zi Yue’s gaze, Li Hao smiled, unafraid, different from before.

No other reason, his grudge was deep, and he wasn’t afraid, no need to pretend.

Facing Hong Yue, he didn’t need to be submissive!

His teacher had killed several Hong Yue powerhouses, and he himself was a target of Hong Yue. So, he wasn’t as polite to Zi Yue as he was to others, even to Flying Heaven and Yan Luo, he secretly killed many people but maintained a friendly appearance.

At least, he wouldn’t let them feel that he was hostile.

"Leader Zi Yue, can you make a Blood God Pill? If not, I can teach you..."

Zi Yue looked at him coldly, retracting her previous words about him being simple. At least, he was full of malice towards Hong Yue!

Of course, this was normal.

But she didn’t expect that a mere Hundred Breaker would dare to provoke her.

After a moment of silence, she threw a red pill, which Hao Lianchuan caught, somewhat surprised, "Your Hong Yue can really make Blood God Pills. I thought you hadn’t discovered their special properties yet?"

Zi Yue remained silent with a cold face.

Li Hao took the red pill from Hao Lianchuan, sniffed it carefully, actually looking, but pretending to be serious. After a while, he sighed, "It’s at the Moon Shadow level, I thought it would be at the Sun Radiance level... It seems Leader Zi Yue has more than one and deliberately chose the weakest one for me!"

Zi Yue remained cold and silent.

Li Hao laughed and swallowed the pill, while others watched intently!

Was the Blood God Pill really effective?

Their organizations might have already hunted a batch of Hong Yue powerhouses and even made Blood God Pills using the method, but they entered quickly and hadn’t received the news yet, so they didn’t know the actual effect.

Just a Moon Shadow level Blood God Pill... Could Li Hao recover from his severe internal injuries after absorbing it?

If he could... Even if it didn’t boost his strength, just the healing effect would be worth it.

At this moment, Li Hao used the Five Animals Technique to break down and digest the Blood God Pill’s power.

Although it was less effective without sword energy, the Blood God Pill was designed for martial artists, so it was still good even without sword energy.

At this moment, Li Hao was still a martial artist.

His momentum was stronger, so the absorption and digestion were faster.

In the blink of an eye, he absorbed most of the red power, and his internal organs instantly received some red shadow power.

Li Hao’s body visibly regained some color, as if his skin was filled with water, gradually becoming plump.

His previously emaciated appearance improved significantly.

Internal energy began to form.

A moment later, Li Hao opened his eyes and took a long breath, "Unfortunately... If it were a Sun Radiance level, I might have fully recovered, but thank you, Leader Zi Yue!"

Everyone’s eyes were filled with surprise.

The effect... was really good!

Li Hao’s injuries looked severe, and although he didn’t seem fully healed, his internal energy reappeared, and his internal organs no longer bled. At least, it didn’t seem to have damaged his foundation...

This... This is just Moon Shadow level, what about Sun Radiance level?

What about Three Yang level?

At this moment, Dingchen from Flying Heaven suddenly said, "Li Hao, the previous incident was probably a misunderstanding! I asked Kong Qi, and it wasn’t him who attacked you."

After saying that, he added, "Of course, there was some misunderstanding... It might take more time to resolve."

He then threw a ring-like object, "This is a new energy storage ring from the central region. It’s small but can store a lot of mystic energy, 1000 cubic units, divided into five compartments. It can store the same type of mystic energy or five different types! Consider it as compensation. It also contains 100 cubic units of fire energy, which you need, so I’m giving it to you!"

Li Hao was genuinely surprised!

Flying Heaven... giving him this thing?

This is a good thing!

It’s the size of a ring, but the energy storage box is large and cumbersome, and can only store a few hundred cubic units at most.

This thing, so small, can store 1000 cubic units of mystic energy?

Hao Lianchuan also looked at Dingchen with surprise. Why is this guy spending so much?

The next moment, Dingchen said, "I have a small question. Is the Blood God Pill effective for all martial artists, or only for Five Animals Sect martial artists?"

He was trying to build a relationship and give gifts, seemingly just for this answer.

Li Hao frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "It’s effective for all martial artists... but the Five Animals Technique absorbs it best. Other martial artists’ breathing techniques might be less effective. If the Five Animals Sect’s conversion efficiency is 90%, others might be 70%... but it still has a significant effect!"

He answered honestly.

Because, others could try it to find out.

The Five Animals Technique is powerful, and not everyone is unaware of it, so there’s no need to hide or lie.

70%!

Everyone’s eyes flickered, it was still very impressive.

Zi Yue’s eyes grew even colder, looking at Dingchen from Flying Heaven. What’s the meaning of asking these questions now?

Dingchen seemed not to notice and said, "Is it effective for superhumans? If a superhuman absorbs a Blood God Pill... can it strengthen their physical body?"

Li Hao frowned, "It’s hard to say. Generally, it has no effect, even if they know the Five Animals Technique, it doesn’t seem to help much... but it’s not completely useless."

"Rubbish!!"

At this moment, Zi Yue shouted angrily, "Li Hao, you dare to lie! The Blood God Pill has some effect on martial artists, which is true, but it has no effect on superhumans, and it can even absorb a superhuman’s mystic energy!"

This must not become a reality, not even a rumor.

If it became true, she couldn’t imagine the consequences.

Now, everyone was just curious, some martial artists were interested, and some organizations that cultivate martial artists were interested. But if it were said to be effective for superhumans... Hong Yue’s troubles would be far greater!

It would be a disaster!

Don’t think the three major organizations are invincible. When the whole world is watching you and using you as nourishment, the consequences are unimaginable!

Now, superhumans are already fighting a lot to enhance their mystic energy.

If the red shadow effect is stronger... why hunt superhumans?

Of course, they would hunt red shadows!

This thing can be artificially cultivated, and some might even want to invade Hong Yue’s headquarters to obtain the cultivation method.

Li Hao frowned, looked at her, and said in a deep voice, "I wouldn’t lie. I’m just sharing some of my observations... Why are you so anxious? If it’s true or not, just try it."

He continued, "The power of the Blood God Pill indeed conflicts with mystic energy. Generally, absorbing it has no significant benefit and can make the body uncomfortable."

"But, my teacher discovered that the Blood God Pill can strengthen a superhuman’s lock... reinforce the superhuman lock! I don’t know if the superhuman realm has such discoveries and feelings. A strong superhuman lock, once broken, releases greater potential... So, reinforcing the superhuman lock is a good thing, especially for geniuses!"

"A genius’s superhuman lock, if too weak, can be easily broken, making advancement easier, but the foundation is too weak. At this time, the Blood God Pill has a role. It can be absorbed by the superhuman lock, strengthening it, increasing the difficulty of advancement... It’s similar to how martial artists strengthen their superhuman locks... but without practicing martial arts, it’s like cultivating a martial artist to advance to a superhuman."

"But the key is, it can save a lot of time. Cultivating a Tenth Rank martial artist takes years... but this just needs one Blood God Pill to easily solve it!"

Boom!

Some people’s breaths became unstable, some people’s eyes changed, and some people’s hearts raced.

For ordinary superhumans, Li Hao’s words were like nonsense.

Strengthening the superhuman lock, do you think we’re fools?

But for these powerful organizations, they knew a lot. For example, strengthening the superhuman lock and then breaking it indeed releases more potential.

This is why martial artists can become powerful when advancing.

Martial artists cultivate internal energy, and internal energy also has the role of strengthening the superhuman lock. It’s not that martial artists will definitely become stronger when advancing, but the potential released during advancement helps them reach higher realms.

Of course, cultivating martial artists is very troublesome and not cost-effective.

It takes too much time!

However... if one Blood God Pill can solve it... wouldn’t it mean that an ordinary person, after taking one Blood God Pill and breaking the superhuman lock, could even skip the Starlight Master stage and directly become a Moon Shadow Master?

If it’s true... that... would be incredible!

Dingchen stopped asking and quickly thought.

Can Li Hao’s words be trusted?

Actually, it’s simple. Find someone to try it. The talent shouldn’t be too low, preferably someone who can easily advance but has a weak foundation. Give them a Blood God Pill and see if they can become a strong person with a deep foundation.

At this moment, even the Wheel King couldn’t help but ask, "How can the Blood God Pill enter
