Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

The night was dark, the wind cold, and the frost filled the air.

On a quiet road a hundred miles from New City, a jeep was traveling at a steady speed.

There were no lights around, only the cawing of crows.

"Thankfully the car has navigation, otherwise in this weather, I might not be able to reach Nec Canyon." Looking at the red dot on the navigation system, Xia Liu muttered to himself.

After the jeep left the highway, it jostled about for roughly twenty minutes. Ahead there was no longer a main road, and Xia Liu could only proceed on foot.

Nec Canyon, a rarely trodden, mysterious place.

The area was surrounded by lush bushes, occasionally disturbed by the call of strange birds.

Xia Liu felt no fear of these.

He activated the Five Elements Mantra, raising his perception to its utmost limit.

Moving in front of the lair of the Blood Clan was an exceedingly dangerous task.

Further enhanced by the darkness, the Blood Clan People's capabilities were boosted, their speed reaching an unbelievable level.

After about half an hour of walking, it was now three in the morning.

This time, Xia Liu's path was also blocked.

Ahead was only a stream carrying an icy chill.

The stream flowed out from a dark, pitch-black cave in the distance.

The cave entrance was quite magnificent, visible in the moonlight, as Xia Liu could discern.

It resembled a tiger with its gaping maw wide open.

Gazing at it, one could have the illusion of being swallowed whole.

"Detestable fishy smell!" Scooping up a handful of river water, Xia Liu brought it to his nose for a sniff, and his facial expression immediately changed.

After staring for a few minutes, Xia Liu didn't find any trace of the Blood Clan People.

Having no other choice, he had to pay a visit personally.

He had confirmed that this group of Blood Clan's lair was inside the cave!

Invoking the Fire Spirit Energy, Xia Liu's eyes immediately covered with a layer of brilliant red.

At the same time, all the darkness in his vision was replaced by fiery red.

With his vision now clear, Xia Liu channeled Spiritual Energy around his feet, and then stepped onto the water.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

Arriving at the cave entrance, a swarm of bats flapped their wings and swooshed out from inside.

Looking at the cave's numerous twists and turns, Xia Liu didn't know which channel would lead to where the Blood Clan gathered.

In such a moment, there was only one thing to do.

Boom!

Before his thought concluded, Xia Liu condensed energy into a palm strike towards a certain cave.

The force of the palm strike caused the mountain to tremble slightly.

Here it comes!

Within less than a minute, Xia Liu's crimson eyes saw three shadows flash out from different caves.

"Who are you, and why have you come here?" a fluent English voice inquired from one of the dark figures attached to the cave wall.

Upon closer inspection, Xia Liu noted that these three members of the Blood Clan were no more than Viscounts, below a Yellow-Rank in terms of martial artists.

They were in the Body Refining Stage; only when inner qi was produced inside one's body could one become a Yellow-Rank Martial Artist.

In the same way, these Blood Viscounts had only to cultivate Blood Energy to advance to the rank of Baron.

Baron was just the beginning for them, though at least they could start to resemble normal humans somewhat.

Only upon reaching the rank of Earl would they qualify somewhat for higher society.

Facing the three Blood Viscounts, Xia Liu slightly shook his head.

He knew these three were not the chiefs, unable to answer his questions.

"Who is your master, and what is his rank?"

Before attaining substantial power, grouped Blood Clan always had a master.

Vampires without protection would be devoured by clan members of different lineage, acquiring some meager strength in the process.

"You have no right to know about our master!"

As soon as the three appeared, they sized up Xia Liu, trying to figure out his identity.

Unfortunately, no matter how they looked, Xia Liu was not one of their own kind.

So, there was no need for them to be courteous.

"Fine, then I'll kill you all and see if your master shows up!" Xia Liu said and took the lead to strike.

The three vampires naturally would not just wait to die.

Their figures became ghostly.

At a glance, it was clear the three had coordinated for a long time, constantly changing positions.

Without interfering with the other two companions.

Just a pity, the three only had speed, but their strength was too weak.

Xia Liu could stand still and let them attack, and they wouldn't be able to hurt him.

So, when the three attacked simultaneously stretching out their sharp claws, Xia Liu remained unshaken.

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Three dull sounds echoed in the cave.

"Run! He's very strong!"

It was unclear who shouted among the three, but when they realized how formidable Xia Liu was, they found that no matter how they moved, they could not retract their swung claws.

"I'm just here to find a friend, and I'll give you one chance, to speak or not to speak?" Xia Liu spoke sternly.

Facing Xia Liu's words, the three remained silent.

They found that no matter what, they couldn't move their bodies; they could only make sounds.

So, the three emitted a low-frequency, strange noise.

"Are you trying to signal to your master to let him escape? How pitiful."

Xia Liu guessed the three's intention as they experienced his strength.

He would definitely make the clan members residing here leave.

"I detest the Blood Clan the most for sucking human blood; therefore, you have no reason to exist in this world!" Xia Liu said as his fingers slowly condensed energy.

Just as he was about to release it, suddenly, a piercing voice echoed in the cave: "Please, stop!"

"Master! Run away!"

"Run! He's too strong!"

Upon hearing this voice, the three Blood Clan people immediately cried out in alarm.

Xia Liu, however, momentarily ceased his action and calmly looked toward the approaching figure.

At an opening level with the flowing water, a simply dressed woman with long hair cascading down her shoulders was standing firm.

In her hand, she held an oil lamp, the faint light illuminating her fairly decent features.

Xia Liu observed her for a while, immediately perceiving the woman's cultivation.

Baron. But since she was a female vampire, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her a Viscountess.

"What is your name?" Xia Liu asked indifferently.

"Miley, Miley Ross," the woman replied earnestly and sincerely.

"It is indeed the Ross family." Seeing the woman's attitude, Xia Liu flicked his hand, throwing the three Blood Clan men against a stone wall on the side.

Thereafter, under the trembling gaze of Miley and her companions, Xia Liu stepped on the river, moving forward step by step.

"You can walk on the surface of the water!" As Xia Liu prepared to approach her, Miley exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't be amazed; I can do things beyond your imagination."

"Respected sir, may I ask what brings you here?" Miley asked respectfully.

"A good friend of mine has been kidnapped by your Ross family, so I've come to take her back," Xia Liu stated gravely.

"That's impossible; the Ross family never kidnaps anyone for money."

"Did I mention it was for money?" Xia Liu stared at Miley, a flash of red brilliance in his eyes causing her to tremble.

"Sir, I assure you, our lineage would never engage in kidnapping, and we only operate within a few nearby villages..."
