Chapter 97 Five Hundred Years of Stalactites
"Sir, are we just going to let him in like that?" After the Bai Xi group left, a strong man from Xiemo Ridge asked.

The leader snorted coldly, "What if you don't let them go? Do you still want to stop Lord Blood Demon's guests?"

The others suddenly fell silent.

The Blood Demon is a powerful evil being from Demon Ridge. He is vicious by nature and has a habit of drinking blood.

Not only other people, but also those who are from the Demon Ridge, once they provoke the Blood Demon, they will be disemboweled, their flesh eaten and their blood drunk.

It’s not that no one has resisted, but the Blood Demon is too powerful and his abilities are too strange, so it’s impossible to defeat him.

Although it is a bit against the rules to let people directly into the Demon Ridge, they would rather violate the rules if they are involved with the Blood Demon.

Bai Xi and others moved forward quickly, becoming more and more frightened as they walked.

Because the hill they were going to was so red and purple and filled with a fishy smell.

And this smell is unique to human blood.

Being able to dye the entire mountain into such a color would make even Bai, who regarded human life as worthless, feel a little scalp-tingling after seeing it.

As I walked along, the dried blood residue stained my shoes, making a crunching sound.

When Bai Xi reached the foot of the mountain, he stopped.

Firstly, the bloody road ahead was difficult to walk on, and secondly, he really didn't want to climb this mountain to meet a big devil.

"An old friend is here to visit, and I beg to see Lord Blood Demon!" Bai Xi hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted.

Rumble.

A blood-colored mist wafted out from the Blood Demon Mountain, covering the entire foot of the mountain.

Bai Xi and his group suddenly felt a surge of inward excitement, and even their eyes seemed to be confused.

"Who are you and what is your purpose?"

A faint voice echoed from the blood mist, making it impossible to tell from which direction it came.

"I hold the Blood Demon Order and ask Lord Blood Demon to help me kill someone!" Bai Xi spoke quickly.

Whoosh.

A red voice came and landed in front of Bai Xi.

The figure was a little hunched, but the energy in his body exuded an imposing aura.

"The eldest prince's Blood Demon Order?" The blood-red old man saw the patterns on the Blood Demon Order and immediately knew the other party's origin.

"Yes!" Bai Xi heard the other party's words and no longer hid it.

This is the Blood Demon's base, so I don't think there will be any leakers.

"If you want me to kill someone, the price is not cheap!" The old blood demon said in a serious tone, his words revealing a surge of bloody murderous intent. "Tell me, who are you going to kill?"

"The newly promoted captain of the Imperial Guard is suspected to have combat power at the threshold of the Heavenly Rank!" Bai Xi spoke quickly.

"Hmm?" The Blood Demon old man's expression changed in an instant.

Because his combat power is only at the threshold of the Heavenly Rank, if he is asked to kill someone, it is still unknown who will win or lose.

Bai Xi felt the blood demon's murderous intent, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir. That Xu Hao is a martial arts master, very young. And my master said that if you can kill him, you can give me the treasure you have been longing for!"

"Okay, but I can't guarantee that I can kill him!" The Blood Demon felt relieved when he heard that the other party was from the martial arts system.

Among all the systems, people in the martial arts system are the easiest to kill.

Because the greatest means of preserving one's life in the martial arts system is one's own qi and blood, and this qi and blood is merely nourishment in the face of certain abilities.

His best skill is to fight against the martial arts system.

Moreover, the blood of the martial arts system attracted him the most.

If he devours a warrior with heavenly-level combat power, and also has the treasure he desires, perhaps he can reach the heavenly level.

Once he reached the Heavenly Tier, who in the entire Great Xuan Dynasty would be able to check and balance him? At that time, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Great Xuan Dynasty, he could devour blood without restraint. The thought of this made the Blood Demon excited beyond measure.

"You wait for me outside, I'll make some preparations!" The Blood Demon said in a serious voice.

Even if the warrior is the easiest to deal with, you still need to be prepared, otherwise you will capsize in the ditch and die.

"Lord Blood Demon, time is running out. My master has scheduled a duel on the first day of next month..." Bai Xi spoke anxiously.

"Huh? Are you teaching me how to do things?" The Blood Demon interrupted Bai Xi's words with an unfriendly look on his face.

"No, I..." Bai Xi felt the blood demon's endless murderous intent and could only shut up quickly.

Now he can only pray that he can do it before the beginning of the month, otherwise, what is the point of asking the Blood Demon after the competition?
Time slips away slowly.

The Great Xuan Dynasty was in turmoil, but the capital was still prosperous and peaceful, with a look of prosperity.

Xu Hao still traveled back and forth between the outer city of the imperial palace and the Xu family.

During this period of time, Xu Hao practiced all the techniques and reached a perfect state, and his relationship with Qin Feixue also took a step forward.

Love grows over time.

On the third day, Tang Wan'er returned and met Xu Hao in the reception room.

"This is your training resource for this month!" Tang Wan'er took out an exquisite box and pushed it in front of Xu Hao.

The box is made of sandalwood and is engraved with intricate array patterns, isolating the aura inside.

"What is this?" Xu Hao asked.

Tang Wan'er quickly introduced, "This is a five-hundred-year-old stalactite. The Ninth Princess accidentally obtained it while she was clearing out evil spirits. After being washed and soaked in lotus flowers, it has been refined. It has reached the level of a half-step to the heavenly realm, which is very conducive to breaking through the upper limit of strength!"
With this, I believe it will help you reach the threshold of heaven."

"Thank the Ninth Princess for me!" Xu Hao took the wooden box.

He did not completely believe Tang Wan'er's words, but opened the virtual panel in his mind in a secret location.

[Hundred-year-old stalactites, tempered with special means, have been refined to obtain the essence of five-hundred-year-old stalactites. They can be taken directly and have a significant effect on condensing innate qi. Reaching the Heavenly Stage.]

Xu Hao smiled slightly.

nice one,.

Although it is much inferior to the thousand-year-old stalactite and the ten-thousand-year-old stalactite he has taken, it is still a treasure after all.

I can use it for cultivation when the time comes, which is better than nothing.

"Well, this month's resources have been given to you. You must practice hard!" Tang Wan'er gave him some instructions, then added, "According to reliable information, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already looking for the strongest people in the top 50 of the Earth Ranking to compete with him. You must be careful and not be careless."

"The top 50 on the Earth List? Why do you say that?" Xu Hao showed a hint of doubt.

Because it seemed like they were on the same level, Tang Wan'er was particularly excited.

Tang Wan'er explained, "Because the experts on the Earth Ranking are all striving to reach the Heavenly Stage, and the top fifty places mean they have reached the Heavenly Stage. Even if they only barely reach that level in one aspect, it should not be underestimated. Especially for those with evil ways, if a certain ability reaches the Heavenly Stage threshold, the power and harm they cause will be extremely great."

She explained everything in great detail, fearing that Xu Hao would underestimate her.

Because even if Xu Hao has reached the heavenly level threshold in one aspect, it is just a straightforward physical attack that is easy to target and avoid.

However, it is extremely difficult to avoid the abilities of certain other systems.

"Okay, I understand!" Xu Hao expressed his understanding.

But he didn't care too much.

Because by the time the fight starts, he might already be a powerful Heavenly Rank warrior.

……

Happy New Year and I wish you all the best.
