Slay the Gods: All the blood of kings must end with the sword!

Next to the low building, where Zhao Kongcheng and Lin Xuan fought with the Ghost Face King, the bloodstains and traces of battle had already been cleaned up.

A small black dog with a bag hanging around its neck came slowly towards them and suddenly spoke in human language.

"The soul is back——"

After a long while, there was no response from the surroundings, and it frowned humanely.

This shouldn't be the case. It's been less than an hour since Zhao Kongcheng died. His soul shouldn't dissipate so quickly.

Or...Zhao Kongcheng's soul was taken away by someone else.

But who could it be? Zhao Kongcheng doesn't have a very special soul, so no one should have any intentions towards him.

The little black dog narrowed his eyes and suddenly thought of the tall man who fought side by side with Zhao Kongcheng.

Could it be... him?

······

That night.

The rain fell on the red sign of the Heping Office and on the storefront, making crackling sounds.

Inside the room, Lin Xuan rested his hands on his knees, listening quietly to the conversation between Wu Xiangnan and Lin Qiye.

"You mean, Zhao Kongcheng activated the Ghost God Attraction, saved his companions, and killed the Ghost Face King, perishing together with him?"

Wu Xiangnan frowned and turned to look at Lin Xuan beside him with questioning eyes.

"Lin Xuan, is that so?"

"Yes."

Lin Xuan nodded, his expression unchanged.

On the way, he had a brief exchange with Lin Qiye and they agreed on a common statement.

"Are you sure?" Wu Xiangnan narrowed his eyes.

"I am sure."

"But why is there a knife wound on the Ghost Face King's face? It doesn't look like it was made by Old Zhao's straight knife. It looks more like... a boning knife or something like that?"

This matter is a bit strange. According to Lin Xuan, he "happened" to run into Old Zhao who was in a hurry, so he followed him.

This is too much of a coincidence.

As for whether it was Lin Xuan who killed Zhao Kongcheng, they checked and found only traces of the Ghost Face King on Zhao Kongcheng's body.

However, there were many obvious scars on the Ghost-Faced King's body, which were obviously not caused by a standard straight knife, but more like some kind of shorter blade.

For example, the boning knife he just mentioned.

Lin Xuan didn't open his mouth to explain. He knew that the more he said, the more mistakes he made. He just insisted, "Zhao Kongcheng killed him. We both saw it."

He looked straight at Wu Xiangnan, his eyes calm, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Wu Xiangnan wanted to speak more, but in the end, he just sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

How could he not know what was going on?

Wu Xiangnan turned around and asked another question.

"You want to join the Night's Watch?"

"Yes, but I will only stay in the Night's Watch for ten years. After ten years, I will leave."

Lin Qiye's words obviously stunned the others.

Even Si Xiaonan, who was still crying, stopped and looked at Lin Qiye in confusion.

Lin Xuan watched this scene with interest.

Why do I remember that Lin Qiye became Commander Lin in the original plot?

He joked in his heart.

Immediately, he leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes.

While everyone was chatting, he went to see how Lao Zhao was doing and whether he was awake.

Lin Xuan's consciousness quickly sank into a fog.

Black earth, pale sky.

A thin mist filled the country. At Lin Xuan's feet were two boning knives and an umbrella.

To his left, a middle-aged man was lying on the ground with his eyes closed.

It was Zhao Kongcheng.

Zhao Kongcheng's body was illusory at this time, and Lin Xuan could even see the black earth through his body.

Zhao Kongcheng is still in the state of soul now, without a physical body.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan felt his body being patted and he had returned to normal.

"what happened?"

He noticed that everyone was looking at him.

Hongying waved her hand. "Nothing. It's just that Lin Qiye has nowhere to sleep tonight, so I invited him to my place. Wen Qimo is coming too, so I wanted to ask if you can come."

Anyway, there are quite a lot of rooms in her villa, so Lin Xuan won't make a difference.

"Um, Hongying, Lin Xuan's family also lives in a villa."

Wu Xiangnan said that he had sent Lin Xuan home a few days ago, so he naturally knew that his family actually lived in a villa, although the community was very old.

When Lin Qiye, who was standing by, heard the news, he stared at Lin Xuan blankly.

He didn't expect that this guy was also a rich man.

"Of course I know, but even if you have a villa, you can come live at my house. It's just right for us to live together, and it will be more lively."

Hongying saw Lin Xuan's family information after Lin Xuan joined the Night's Watch.

Although Hongying seems careless, she is actually very thoughtful.

Not only did she know that the other party also lived in a villa, she also knew that he was the only one left in Lin Xuan's family.

Hongying invited Lin Xuan because she was afraid that he would feel lonely at home.

But in the end Lin Xuan just shook his head.

"No, I'm more used to staying at home."

He has a secret.

Every time the purity of his bloodline increases by 5%, while he goes to the tombstone to gain abilities, his physical fitness will also be greatly improved, which will inevitably cause some trouble.

Lin Xuan could guess the purpose of Hongying inviting him, and he also trusted everyone's character, but some secrets were better known only to himself.

"Ok."

Hongying could only shrug and say, "Then I'm going to go practice my spear first. You can just come to my house later."

······

Late at night, under the leadership of Wen Qimo, Lin Xuan and Lin Qiye came to a desolate wilderness.

There is a cemetery in the distance.

The three of them carefully walked through the jungle, squatted in the half-human-high weeds, and quietly watched the graceful figure in the distance carving a monument for Zhao Kongcheng.

"Didn't she say she was going to practice shooting?"

Lin Qiye said blankly.

"Who would believe that you're still practicing shooting so late at night?"

Wen Qimo sighed and then turned his gaze to Lin Xuan.

"Lin Xuan, get down a little bit, you're too tall."

"..."

Lin Xuan lowered his body silently.

A group of perverts just watched quietly as Hongying wiped her tears while carving the stele for Zhao Kongcheng.

He closed his eyes and returned to Nibelungen, only to find that Zhao Kongcheng had not yet woken up.

If Zhao Kongcheng was awake at this time and saw this scene, Lin Xuan could imagine the other party's awkward look.

While saying "Hongying, there's really no need for that," he turned his head away so that others wouldn't see the mist in his eyes.

Well...if the soul could shed tears.

······

The rain had stopped long ago and the clouds had dispersed.

The bright moonlight shone into the villa, illuminating half of Lin Xuan's face.

After a busy night, Lin Xuan finally returned home and could finally see what he had harvested tonight.

When he killed the Ghost Face King, he could feel a huge energy that was far greater than before.

According to preliminary estimates, the energy gained from killing one Ghost-Faced King is definitely more than that from killing ten Ghost-Faced Men.

Lin Xuan leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink into his mind.

Before his eyes was a huge tombstone, towering and gigantic, reaching from heaven to earth.

Lin Xuan was slightly stunned when he saw the number above.

Bloodline purity, 18%.

No more than 20%.

He could clearly feel that the energy gained from killing just one Ghost-Faced King was equivalent to killing a dozen ordinary Ghost-Faced Men.

As a result, the blood purity only increased by 8%...

Perhaps, for every 5% or 10% increase in bloodline strength, the energy required will increase.

For example, if you want to increase from 5% to 10%, you can increase it by 1% every time you kill a ghost-faced man, but if you want to increase from 95% to 99%, it is impossible that you can still increase it by 1% every time you kill a ghost-faced man.

If that were true, he would be invincible if he killed 100 ghost-faced men.

But unfortunately not.

Lin Xuan muttered in his heart.

In other words, the higher the purity of the bloodline, the more difficult it is to improve.

From 10% to 20%, a Sichuan realm can only increase by 8%.

According to this trend,

When the purity of his bloodline reaches 80% or 90%, perhaps even the mystery of the Klein Realm will not be enough to satisfy him.

By then, he might have to kill the gods.
