Chapter 564 Take Action
"When did I ever say I was an assassin?" Xia Liu couldn't help but feel somewhat amused.
"Then may I ask, how did you come to know of this place, sir?" Kathleen weakly inquired.
Since there was a possibility of becoming collaborators.
Xia Liu naturally wouldn't conceal the truth, so he told her about Karl.
"Karl!" After hearing Xia Liu's explanation, Miley's emotions seemed to fluctuate somewhat.
"Miley, Karl is dead, your vengeance is served," Kathleen knew well the grudge between Karl and Miley.
Hearing of Karl's death truly brought a sense of satisfaction.
Although she possessed the cultivation of a Marquis Mid-Stage, it was forbidden for clan members to attack each other.
Unless there was evidence of the other's wrongdoing, then it would come down to cultivation.
"Hmm! Thank you, sir, for killing Karl."
"Wait a second, wasn't Karl a member of your bloodline?" Xia Liu asked.
"No, Karl was from a branch affiliated with the Imperial Family's bloodline, and he took advantage of his slight connection to often lurk outside Nec Canyon, bullying those of our clan who were lower in rank whenever they would go out," explained Kathleen, also appearing somewhat helpless.
Because of Karl's actions leaving no trace, she couldn't lodge a complaint, allowing Karl to live a carefree life in the vicinity over the years.
"Alright," Xia Liu said with a slight smile, realizing that killing Karl was not a mistake.
If Karl had been one of the Blood Clan People who did not feed on the essence blood of living beings, he would have had to apologize.
"Mr. Xia, what brings you here?"
"For my friend, a woman."
"Could you be more specific?" Kathleen hadn't left this place for quite a long time, and was not well-informed about the outside world, so she could only rely on Xia Liu for more clues and then analyze them herself.
Xia Liu certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
As the queen of a blood lineage, Kathleen naturally would have access to numerous valuable materials.
Thus, he shared with her everything about Mo Wanqing and related events.
"Norman..." Kathleen murmured.
She seemed to have known the name for a very long time.
"Do you know Norman?" Seeing the familiarity on Kathleen's face, yet her struggle to fully recall, prompted Xia Liu's question.
Because she was trapped in this place, he looked for any change in Kathleen's expression and asked.
If she knew, then everything would be easy; he would be able to strike at the enemy's heart!
"Mr. Xia can just call me Wanqing. I think I've heard of Norman, give me a moment to remember," she said.
To this end, Xia Liu nodded his head, it was good that she had some recollection.
"Norman, I remember!" A few minutes later, Kathleen's expression brightened with excitement as she called out.
"Oh! Tell me quickly!" Xia Liu urged eagerly.
"Miley, you go down first," Kathleen didn't respond immediately but instead cleared the room.
To this, Xia Liu was unconcerned. Whether someone was present or not, the result would be the same; as long as he got the information, it wouldn't matter if Kathleen helped him or not.
"Yes!" Miley said respectfully, immediately disappearing with three servants from the hall.
Now, in the vast hall, only Xia Liu and Kathleen remained.
Tap, tap, tap...
Kathleen slowly descended the stairs, her fiery red high heels clicking crisply on the steps.
It was then, suddenly, a surge of Blood Energy erupted from behind Kathleen.
Following, her fangs became visible in her mouth, and her originally attractive eyes seemed to cloud over with a mesmerizing and exotic hue.
With the power of a Marquis unleashed, Kathleen's speed reached its peak.
A flickering afterimage appeared as her claw-like nails furiously assaulted Xia Liu.
"Hm?"
Facing Kathleen's sudden attack, Xia Liu was slightly perplexed.
Had he said something wrong?
Clang!
Xia Liu's fingers tensed, and with a flick of spiritual acumen, he met the fierce onslaught of sharp nails, a clear ringing echoing through the hall.
Taking the opportunity to retreat a few steps, Xia Liu asked, baffled, "Do you want to kill me?"
"Hmph, you trespassed on our clan's sacred ground, you deserve to die!" Anger filled Kathleen's voice as she slowly raised her palms.
As her hands rose and fell, Xia Liu could feel a strange force filling the entire hall.
It was akin to an exotic force similar to Divine Sense.
"Telekinesis, huh..." Xia Liu murmured softly, sensing the exotic force hovering around him.
"Die!"
Kathleen's beautiful eyes snapped open furiously, a glint of exotic light flickering within them.
Then, telekinetic energy surged, and many weapons started floating in from nowhere within the great hall.
There were blunt weapons, short swords, daggers, and spears.
These weapons all flew towards Xia Liu with incredible speed.
"Humph!" With a cold snort, Xia Liu stomped his foot.
In an instant, the Spiritual Energy within his Dantian surged wildly.
A powerful aura, not weaker than that of the Earth Rank Peak, burst forth in an instant.
Bang bang bang!
The overwhelming might swept out aggressively, and the air around burst forth with the sounds of being crushed.
At the same time, the flying blades and swords encountered the oppressive force and froze in midair, before falling directly to the ground.
For a moment, the hall echoed with the crashing sounds of thunder.
Seeing this, Kathleen did not back down.
As the telekinetic weapons fell, she immediately sprang into action.
Aided by powerful Blood Energy, her nails grew slightly in that moment.
With her nails growing instantaneously, Kathleen's movement technique exploded forth, turning into a supreme red blur rushing towards Xia Liu in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, all the swords and blunt weapons took flight once again.
"Hmph! Since you seek death, don't blame me!" As his words fell, Xia Liu's Spiritual Energy erupted violently.
Unparalleled pressure struck the flying swords and blades.
As his Spiritual Energy surged in an instant, Xia Liu unleashed his ultimate speed.
Clang!
Xia Liu collided head-on with Kathleen.
Sword Finger touched the red Armor Blade.
In the moment of contact, Kathleen unleashed the Blood Clan's psychic abilities, and imperceptibly, Blood Energy actually condensed into sharp Armor Blades.
Ding!
The crystallized Armor Blades mercilessly struck Xia Liu's chest, but surprisingly, there was only a light, tinkling sound, and Xia Liu sustained no injury whatsoever.
"You're not hurt?"
"Heh, they say beautiful women have the most poisonous hearts. We meet for the first time, and yet you resort to such tactics. I cannot let you live then."
With a cold chuckle, Xia Liu concentrated his Spiritual Energy in a shockwave, and Kathleen was blasted away by the force.
Before she could react, Xia Liu formed a Seal Decree with both hands.
A holy luster of Spiritual Brilliance flickered around him.
"This is the energy of Holy Brilliance!"
Catching a glimpse of the holy light flickering around Xia Liu, Kathleen's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.
Unfortunately, Xia Liu did not give her much time to be shocked. As soon as Energy of Holy Brilliance appeared, the Seal Decree moved, and Xia Liu pointed his finger forward: "Golden Spirit Sword!"
Golden Spirit Sword!
Formed from the purest Golden Spirit Energy, it cut through the darkness with golden Spiritual Energy!
The power of the Blood Clan belonged to a type of filthy darkness, and faced with the Golden Spirit Energy, Kathleen couldn't keep her eyes open.
"Ahh!"
As the Golden Spirit Sword took shape in front of Xia Liu, Kathleen covered her eyes and let out a miserable howl.
"Mr. Xia, please stop, I know I was wrong." Just as the Golden Spirit Sword was about to be unsheathed, Kathleen called out weakly.
"Hmph! You and I have no grievances, but you still sought to kill me, so I have no choice but to obliterate you!" That said, Xia Liu flicked his finger...
