599: Chapter 599 Frenzied Slaughter!!

"Blood Puppet, condense!"

Qin Yan gave a low shout and formed hand seals.

Within a hundred-zhang radius of Qin Yan, wisps of blood qi surged from all directions, converging toward his location.

The source of that blood qi was almost entirely from the recently deceased Vicious Beasts.

As for the blood qi of the Human Race Martial Artists, Qin Yan did not gather it.

After all, these were Martial Artists who died defending the city; they were heroes!

At this moment, the residual blood qi of those Vicious Beasts was like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, condensing into a blood-colored vortex several zhang in size in the air!

The vortex rotated slowly, emitting a dense, bloody scent.

Within the vortex, blood cocoons gradually took shape!

Those blood cocoons were entirely blood-red, their surfaces flowing with eerie patterns, and the faint sound of heartbeats could be heard from within, as if something was being gestated.

With a thought from Qin Yan, the blood-colored chains in the sky hovered over the blood vortex, and streams of pure blood qi were injected from the chains into the vortex.

Nourished by the blood qi, those blood cocoons grew larger and larger, and the aura within them also became increasingly powerful.

At the same time, Qin Yan also released the other Blood Puppets he had accumulated in his body during this period.

Those Blood Puppets were all gestated by the Blood Pool, and their strengths varied.

Qin Yan adopted a strategy of "the strong leading the weak," letting the powerful Blood Puppets lead the weaker ones to hunt Vicious Beasts.

This ensured efficiency while preventing the Blood Puppets from suffering heavy losses.

And he acted as the ultimate boss.

Whenever a Blood Puppet encountered an irresistible Vicious Beast, he would take action and strike the beast dead.

The blood qi transformed from those Vicious Beasts also completely merged into the Blood Puppets, nourishing them.

Across the entire battlefield, Qin Yan and his army of Blood Puppets were like an unstoppable torrent, rampaging through the beast horde.

Blood-colored chains danced in the sky, and Blood Puppets charged on the ground; wherever they passed, Vicious Beasts fell one after another, and blood flowed freely.

Qin Yan's blood qi also continued to grow during this slaughter.

The commotion Qin Yan caused was not small; therefore, many human Martial Artists looked toward his direction, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"What is inside that blood-colored vortex?"

A young Martial Artist pointed at the sky, his voice full of curiosity.

"I don't know, but I guess it must be related to those blood-colored figures around!"

A companion beside him speculated. Those Blood Puppets were charging across the battlefield with eerie movements and cruel methods; it didn't look like a normal technique.

"Who is this person? So sinister. He couldn't be from the Demonic Sect, could he?"

Someone whispered, their voice carrying a hint of wariness.

The Demonic Sect was a taboo in the Taixuan Realm, an existence everyone despised.

If this person was from the Demonic Sect, they would have to be careful.

The surrounding Martial Artists discussed fervently, some with curiosity, some with surprise, some with doubt, and some with vigilance.

But no one dared to approach Qin Yan—the aura emitted by the blood vortex and blood chains was too terrifying, making people afraid to get close.

"Boom!"

A booming sound came from within the vortex above Qin Yan's head.

The sound was like muffled thunder, making the surrounding air tremble.

Then, a Blood Puppet emerged from its blood cocoon!

They stood in the air, blood light flowing around them, emitting the aura of the Fourth Rank Peak.

As soon as these Blood Puppets appeared, their strength had already reached the Fourth Rank Peak!

Though not high, their advantage lay in their numbers.

Moreover, they could also increase their strength by absorbing the blood of Vicious Beasts, showing immense potential.

Seeing this, Qin Yan did not let these Blood Puppets take action.

Their current strength was too weak; joining the battlefield rashly would only be throwing their lives away.

He manipulated the surrounding chains, frantically harvesting the lives of the sixth-rank Vicious Beasts around him.

A Middle Sixth-Grade Vicious Beast was pierced by a chain, its blood drained dry;

A Sixth-Rank Early Stage Vicious Beast was entangled by a chain and killed instantly;

A sixth rank Late Stage Vicious Beast was besieged by several chains and died after struggling a few times.

Streams of blood qi surged from those Vicious Beasts, following the chains to merge into them, and then poured over the Blood Puppets within the blood vortex.

The strength of those Blood Puppets was increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fifth rank, Fifth-Rank Mid-stage, fifth rank late stage...

Their bodies became more solid, and the blood light around them grew denser.

Because Qin Yan was killing sixth-rank Vicious Beasts, the blood qi contained within them was no different from a massive tonic for these weak Puppets.

The blood qi of one sixth-rank Vicious Beast was enough to let a Fourth Rank Peak Blood Puppet Breakthrough directly to the fifth rank late stage.

This speed of improvement was simply astonishing.

"It seems I chose the right task; this place really is a great tonic for you."

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Qin Yan's ear.

The voice was crisp and loud, carrying a hint of playfulness.

Qin Yan turned his head and found that Huang Jiuli had appeared beside him at some point.

Dressed in a red robe, she was particularly striking in the blood mist, with flames faintly dancing around her, forcing the surrounding Vicious Beasts to retreat.

Currently, her gaze was fixed on the Blood Puppets beside Qin Yan, a flicker of surprise flashing in her eyes.

This Qin Yan had such profound methods.

His methods were truly endless, even more numerous and eerie than hers.

She thought she already knew Qin Yan well enough, but every time they met, he could pull out a new trump card that made people look at him in a new light.

"I just wonder what the upper limit of these Blood Puppets is? If they can reach the Seventh-Grade Grandmaster Realm, that would be terrifying."

Huang Jiuli thought to herself.

Over a hundred Blood Puppets in the Grandmaster Realm? Just imagining that scene was terrifying!

If that were the case, Qin Yan alone could become a localized natural disaster—a one-man army, invincible.

"It is indeed quite suitable for me."

Qin Yan smiled, not denying it.

This beast tide battlefield was indeed a blessed land for him.

The Vicious Beasts were endless, and the blood qi was continuous.

His army of Blood Puppets could grow here to their heart's content.

And he could also accumulate enough blood qi to accelerate his Breakthrough in the Body Refining Realm!

"I wonder how many Vicious Beasts I've killed now?"

Thinking of this, Qin Yan looked at his task token.

The token displayed the number of Vicious Beasts he had slain—

Rank 6 Peak: Six beasts.

sixth rank Late Stage: Fifteen beasts.

Middle Sixth-Grade: Forty beasts.

Sixth-Rank Early Stage: Eighty beasts.

Fifth Grade Peak: Two hundred beasts.
