It is the ACT of killing that increases the chaos. Turning bodies into ash, or letting them be eaten by rats doesn't count since the person is already dead.
I'm not entirely sure, but your blade also seems to track your current chaos level. If the blade stays bloody you have high chaos, if it stays clean you have low chaos.
