Chapter 195: Overwhelming
Upon sensing You Zifeng's Blood Energy Spirit Seal, the Poison Insects on his chest went rampant instantly.
Even more horrifying was that these Poison Insects actually devoured You Zifeng's flesh and blood!
In the blink of an eye, the Poison Insects grew from the size of a pinkie finger to several inches long!
His brow furrowed tightly.
Xia Liu thought You Zifeng truly evil for using his own Essence Blood to enhance the power of the Poison Insects.
But Xia Liu was not worried at all, he felt no threat from You Zifeng.
"Devour him alive!" You Zifeng roared, pointing at Xia Liu.
The Poison Insects on his body, upon being summoned, immediately lunged at Xia Liu!
Without any further ado, Xia Liu waved his bare hand and a huge burst of Spiritual Energy sprayed out.
The approaching Poison Insects, upon coming into contact with the Spiritual Energy, immediately dissipated into the air.
Seeing this scene, You Zifeng's eyes widened, and he immediately unleashed all the Poison Insects in his body to strike at Xia Liu.
"Don't waste your effort, die!" Xia Liu no longer wanted to see such disgusting things as Poison Insects.
Between his fingers, a ribbon of Spiritual Energy shot straight at You Zifeng.
Along the way, the Poison Insects that touched the ribbon dissolved to nothingness.
You Zifeng was quick to react.
After summoning all his Poison Insects, his body had already retreated to the window.
He had long since realized that he was no match for Xia Liu; even his most powerful Poison Insects were ineffective against him.
Now, the only thing left to do was to flee!
But the speed of the Spiritual Energy ribbon was beyond You Zifeng's imagination.
As he reached the window, his pupils reflected the colorful ribbon.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. With eyes wide open, You Zifeng was momentarily rigid as the ribbon pierced directly into his chest.
Boom!
The moment the ribbon entered his body, a thunderous rumble echoed in You Zifeng's mind.
The next second, he collapsed onto the ground.
And thus, the room returned to calm once more.
Xia Liu casually walked to You Zifeng's body, remembering what the old man had told him, that those who wielded Poison Control had their lives already intertwined with the Poison Insects.
If the Poison Insects were not thoroughly eliminated, the Poison Controller wouldn't die.
Xia Liu's Cultivation Technique activated again, and a massive burst of Golden Spirit Energy shot toward You Zifeng.
"Aaagh!!!" The previously corpse-like You Zifeng let out a sky-shaking wail.
The crying didn't last more than three seconds before his body started to dissolve, eventually turning into a pool of blood water.
Seeing this, Xia Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he had not thoroughly eliminated You Zifeng, it wouldn't have been long before he became the Huang Family's catastrophe.
Having dealt with You Zifeng, Xia Liu seated himself on the sofa, "Young Master Pan, what do you think of this matter?"
Pan Long, who was hiding behind the sofa, quivered continuously.
He hadn't dared to open his eyes since the beginning, and the scenes he had witnessed today would surely become indelible memories for a lifetime.
"Don't kill me! It has nothing to do with me!" Pan Long tried to calm his inner fear, trembling as he emerged from behind the sofa.
He knelt before Xia Liu, his head repeatedly striking the floor.
"That's your concern, but I want to know what your purpose was in doing all this?"
By now, Pan Long had realized that Xia Liu knew everything, and he could only beg pitifully, "Divine Doctor Xia, I beg you to spare me, I know I was wrong. I only wanted to take over the Huang Family's assets, I never thought of harming anyone."
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to kill you," Xia Liu shook his head, patted Pan Long on the shoulder as he stood up to leave.
Only when Xia Liu left the room did Pan Long confirm that he had escaped calamity!
He gasped for breath, with no energy left to even deal with his damp trousers.
And in his body, invisible to him, a weak red energy was swirling around his liver…
By the time Xia Liu returned to the Huang Family estate, the sky had already brightened, and the battle with You Zifeng hadn't drained him much.
Actually, there was a reason for that.
Because his Spiritual Energy was naturally the bane of Poison Insects, and You Zifeng's Poison Insect Technique wasn't strong, which led to an overwhelming victory.
To Xia Liu's surprise, Huang Shijie was still in the same pavilion as before.
Seeing Xia Liu approach, Huang Shijie asked in astonishment, "So soon? What happened to You Zifeng?"
"Nothing left of him."
Hiss…
Observing Xia Liu's casual demeanor, Huang Shijie felt a shiver run down his spine.
"From now on, You Zifeng will no longer pose any threat to the Huang Family. Also, Pan Long won't live much longer..." Xia Liu continued.
"What! You killed Pan Long too?" Upon hearing this, Huang Shijie became anxious.
The Pan Family's power was immense within Yuanguang, and if they pursued this matter, it would be extremely disadvantageous to the Huang Family.
"Calm down, I didn't kill him right away. I just gave him a taste of his own medicine. In at most a month, he'll be buried."
Hearing Xia Liu explain this way, Huang Shijie let out a sigh of relief.
He didn't pity Pan Long, who was cruel-hearted, having previously conspired with You Zifeng to poison his father.
If he had the power, Huang Shijie would have taken up arms and gone to his doorstep long ago.
After everything settled down, as Huang Shijie observed Xia Liu's serene face, an involuntary tremble took root in the depths of his heart.
"Family Head Huang, Xue'er and I will be heading back soon, you..."
"I have no objections, but I have one condition," Huang Shijie said, in no position to argue with Xia Liu, who in just a short time had killed two people.
If Xia Liu took offense to him and dealt with him too, that would be a real pain.
"Please speak."
"If the Huang Family ever faces an enemy like you in the future, you can't just stand by and do nothing. Also, you must take good care of Xue'er. If you're short on cash, I..."
"Uncle Shijie, don't worry, money is but a string of numbers; if I wished, I could buy an entire state," Xia Liu interrupted Huang Shijie's speech.
...
Huang Shijie was left speechless, Xia Liu's boasting was indeed extravagant.
Furthermore, that "Uncle" sounded so awkward.
"Alright, I will keep in touch with Xue'er. You don't have to force yourself."
Xia Liu nodded and said nothing more; he still had to go back and prepare lunch for Huang Xue.
"Ah... my daughter, how could you fall for a farmer? What to do in the future..."
As Xia Liu's departing figure receded, Huang Shijie shook his head continuously.
Experience exclusive tales on empire
No matter how strong Xia Liu was or how merciless he was in killing, what was that worth in an age where money reigned supreme?
After returning to the villa, seeing Huang Xue asleep, Xia Liu decided to wait a few hours and prepare lunch directly.
Huang Xue didn't get out of bed until noon, feeling as if her waist was about to break; she didn't know how much she had moved the night before.
Seeing the table full of dishes prepared by Xia Liu, she completely forgot her pain and, after freshening up, devoured the feast voraciously.
"Xia Liu, let's go back tomorrow. I miss my sisters," Huang Xue said.
"You don't want to spend more time with your old man?"
"A married daughter is like water spilled out of the house. Don't you want me to go back with you?" Huang Xue pouted and looked at Xia Liu weakly.
"Since when did you get married off?"
"I don't care, you have to marry me!"
