71: Chapter 71 Going Mad

After dealing with the thirteen hostile lords, Lin Xiao didn't rest and immediately contacted Jin Ruxuan and Qin Yiyi.

"Send me the territory coordinates."

Jin Ruxuan and Qin Yiyi didn't waste any words either, immediately sending over new territory coordinates.

Ten from each, totaling twenty.

However, Lin Xiao also noticed that five of them were duplicates, so there were actually fifteen territory coordinates.

Lin Xiao didn't mind. Fifteen was fifteen; he would wipe them out first.

Besides the territory coordinates, Lin Xiao also obtained a large amount of resources from the two.

Especially the Lord Association, which gave even more.

Lin Xiao accepted everything, the more the better. After all, according to the contract, these resources were rightfully his.

After returning to his territory, he immediately invested the resources into his heroes and troops.

The Burning Sky Flame Dragons, of course, were the primary focus of investment. The Red Lotus Domain near the volcano had never been closed, allowing the Burning Sky Flame Dragons staying inside to maintain high-speed growth.

At the same time, various recovery and growth resources were continuously supplied, allowing them to recover their mana at the fastest possible speed.

Their growth speed was even more astonishing.

Lin Xiao also invested far more resources than before into his other heroes and troops.

With sufficient resources and high Aptitude, everyone's growth speed was far faster than before.

Every single moment, the territory was becoming stronger.

While strengthening himself, Lin Xiao did not stop his invasions.

One veteran lord after another turned to ash under the bombardment of Meteorites falling from the sky, their lives easily taken.

However, some unexpected trouble arose during his invasion of the ninth veteran lord.

That lord was from the Purgatory Race, and upon being invaded, quickly discovered the presence of Lin Xiao and his forces.

The reason was simple: that Purgatory Race lord had over a hundred Wyverns under his command.

Wyverns were undoubtedly a flying troop type, and of perfect-grade.

Patrolling the skies of the territory, they immediately spotted the invading Burning Sky Flame Dragons. Under the Purgatory Race lord's command, a Purgatory Race hero with black wings on his back led these hundred-odd Wyverns to launch an attack on Lin Xiao and his group.

A fierce aerial battle instantly broke out.

For this invasion, Lin Xiao only brought thirteen Burning Sky Flame Dragons.

Under high-speed growth regardless of cost, the stats of the Burning Sky Flame Dragons had already surpassed forty thousand. Even with only thirteen Burning Sky Flame Dragons, combined with the bonuses from the barracks technology, it was enough to wipe out most veteran lords in one wave.

He hadn't expected to encounter the enemy's flying units this time.

Like the Frost Giants, the Burning Sky Flame Dragons were considered semi-mage units. With Dragon Language Magic and the passive skill True Dragon Body, their melee capability was not weak either, but it was completely incomparable to their world-destroying magic attacks.

Harassed by these Wyverns, it wouldn't be so easy to summon Meteorites to bombard the Lords Mansion before dealing with them.

This didn't fit Lin Xiao's quick-battle style.

"Sure enough, bombers still need fighter escorts."

Lin Xiao silently complained as he unhurriedly took out the Blazing Flame Bow from his backpack.

As he easily drew the Blazing Flame Bow to its limit, an extremely condensed red light instantly appeared where the arrow rested, inside of which endless flames seemed to burn and burst continuously.

Jiang Yao's skill, Explosive Flame Arrow.

*Whoosh!*

The red light tore through the Void Realm, instantly shooting right in front of the Purgatory Race hero.

Before he could even think of dodging, the red light blasted into his body.

It was as if a volcano had erupted inside him, the terrifying fiery light instantly blowing him to pieces.

Lin Xiao drew his bow repeatedly, shooting Explosive Flame Arrows into one Wyvern after another. Being hit resulted in their bodies exploding, without exception.

At this moment, the Burning Sky Flame Dragons also launched their own attacks.

Streaks of deep red, scorching Dragon Breath tore through the Void Realm, completely obliterating the attacking Wyverns.

As the Burning Sky Flame Dragons swept their heads, the Dragon Breath swept in even more Wyverns. Had they not been so widely dispersed, each breath would have taken at least five or six Wyverns' lives.

Even so, this wave of Dragon Breath attacks reduced the Wyverns' numbers by a third.

The remaining Wyverns were either shot dead by Lin Xiao or utterly terrified, no longer daring to approach.

Their desperate attacks landed on the Burning Sky Flame Dragons—who had cast shields on themselves and possessed the True Dragon Body—but the damage was barely noticeable.

Obviously, the brutality of the aerial battle was only reflected on the Wyverns...

Next was the standard procedure.

The Meteorite fell, and the lord perished.

...

Aside from this Purgatory Race lord, Lin Xiao didn't encounter any large-scale flying units in his subsequent invasions.

Among Third-Tier Lords, those who possessed flying units were already a minority, and those with over a hundred perfect-grade flying units were even rarer.

However, to Lin Xiao, even if an opposing lord's army consisted entirely of flying units, they posed no real threat; at most, they would just delay him a bit longer.

While he was frantically slaughtering hostile lords, Lin Xiao's own territory was also subjected to frequent invasions.

Within half a day, three invading armies had entered his territory.

"It seems the Purgatory Race and the Sin Race have truly noticed me now."

Lin Xiao understood clearly in his heart.

In the beginning, the Purgatory Race and the Sin Race only perceived him as an ordinary Human Race Prodigy, which was why they had treated him as bait.

But as the invading lords died one after another, no matter how slow they were, they would eventually realize that Lin Xiao's strength far exceeded their imagination.

This was inevitable, a matter of time.

For the veteran lords Lin Xiao hunted down using territory coordinates, the Purgatory Race and the Sin Race might not immediately link those deaths to him.

But those invaders were different.

Their deaths pointed directly to Lin Xiao.

If Lin Xiao wanted to invade others, he had to resolve the space-time fluctuations first; there was no avoiding it.

Fortunately, his momentum was already fully established; even if his strength was exposed, so be it.

The Purgatory Race and the Sin Race had already lost the best opportunity to nip him in the bud; at least in the First Source Sea, they no longer stood a chance.

The three invading armies were quickly dealt with by Lin Xiao's forces.

Considering the current situation where his territory was frequently invaded, he left all his heroes behind to guard their home.

With four extraordinary heroes holding the fort, the territory was as solid as a mountain.

Along with the other troops, their strength also grew rapidly under Lin Xiao's massive investment of resources.

They were more than enough to easily crush any invading army.

Even if someone hid to stall for time, they would quickly be found by Qian Ying.

Jiang Yao and the others strictly followed Lin Xiao's orders. After crushing the invading armies, they didn't kill them all, but instead captured a few of them, waiting for Lin Xiao to handle them.

Lin Xiao showed no mercy whatsoever. Once the Burning Sky Flame Dragons had fully recovered, he immediately executed the captives and launched a revenge invasion, wiping out the invading lords in one fell swoop.

He managed both active invasions and retaliatory strikes without missing a beat.

Once all the hostile lords were wiped out, Lin Xiao immediately contacted Jin Ruxuan and Qin Yiyi to ask for more territory coordinates.

He was already going wild.
