Chapter 579: Deterrence
They couldn't imagine that Prince Ian had died!
Died at the hands of Earl Harry from the Giles lineage!
The ones who came to their senses stared at Xia Liu with fierce eyes.
"You deserve to die!"
"Earl Harry from the Giles lineage!"
"You are unforgivable!"
"My God! How did he kill Ian!"
"He doesn't have the strength to kill Prince Ian!"
"Nick! Someone from your clan, give me an answer!" Lante knelt beside the Blood Pool, his red eyes fixed on Ian, as his cold words echoed through the hall.
As a duke of the Giles lineage, Nick was furious to the extreme.
One of his own clan had killed a member of the Imperial Family in front of so many people!
This was a crime against heaven!
Like many others, he couldn't comprehend either. Ian was a duke at mid-stage.
Even if he had just been careless, how could Earl Harry possibly have killed him.
"Who exactly are you?" Under the gaze of all the Blood Clan experts, Nick stood up and demanded.
"Oh? Duke Nick, have you forgotten? Today is the important day our Giles Clan rebels against the Imperial Family!"
"What! The Giles Family is rebelling!"
"The Giles Family!"
"Duke Nick!"
"Please give us an explanation!"
When Xia Liu spoke with such icy sternness, the powerful dukes around turned their gaze to Nick.
They wanted him to explain himself to them, to the Imperial Family, to the Blood Clan!
"You are not Earl Harry!" Nick ignored the confrontational gaze of his clan, his eyes filled with anger as he stared directly at Xia Liu.
"Haha! Correct! I am not Harry, nor am I a Ghost Figure of your Blood Clan." Knowing that Nick had seen through his identity, Xia Liu admitted openly without avoidance.
"Damned Foreign Clan person! Who exactly are you?" Lante collected his emotions slightly and questioned Xia Liu.
"Speak! Who are you!" All the Blood Clan experts roared furiously.
Kathleen's body trembled next to Mo Wanqing; the moment had finally arrived.
She was eager to find out, in what identity and in what way Xia Liu would help her.
"Who am I? I am the envoy who has come to send you to the netherworld."
"Damned Foreign Clan person!"
"Everyone, let's join forces and kill him!"
"Yes! Kill him!"
With Xia Liu's words, the Blood Clan experts erupted again in fury.
Today was the wedding of the Blood Clan prince, yet a Foreign Clan person had infiltrated and even killed a prince.
For the Blood Clan, this was an indelible stain for a lifetime!
They had to kill Xia Liu!
Without further ado, several Marquis vampires close to Xia Liu immediately sprang into action.
Their pupils turned blood red in an instant, and at the same time, Blood Energy surged fiercely.
Facing the fierce onslaught of the Blood Clan Marquis, Xia Liu, with one hand behind his back, stirred his Spiritual Energy, and a wisp of flame blossomed in his palm.
As the vampires charged at him with extreme speed, Xia Liu swept his palm across, and the roaring sound shocked the Blood Clan experts present.
"Ahhhh!"
Accompanied by a series of shrill, miserable screams, the several charging Blood Clan Marquis suddenly had intense flames blazing on their bodies.
These flames on the bodies of the Blood Clan People were not ordinary flames.
Rather, they were one of the rarest flames between heaven and earth, Karmic Fire!
In its primal form, Karmic Fire had spirit and form, burning the bodies of the Blood Clan experts as well as cleansing their souls.
Seeing the flames on their clansmen, the surrounding vampires grabbed water or clothing trying to extinguish the flames.
But the outcome was far beyond their expectations.
The flames could not be extinguished!
Thus, everyone watched helplessly as several were burned to death.
Everyone looked at Xia Liu in fear, unable to decipher his identity.
They didn't know his purpose either.
Clap clap clap…
"Very good!" Prince Lante clapped his hands, a sinister cold smile appearing on his face.
It had been a very long time since the Blood Clan had encountered such a powerful enemy.
"Nick, test his strength."
As the strongest Duke among the Imperial Guards, Lante believed he could gauge Xia Liu's power.
"Alright," Nick nodded slowly and began walking forward.
Xia Liu had just killed several of their clan members, and he had observed it all carefully.
It seemed like the Inner Strength materialization of a Huaxia Warrior.
It also resembled the ancient Thai martial arts fused with fire psychic abilities.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be from Huaxia, and you've also been injected with a serum to possess fire psychic abilities," Nick said after sizing up Xia Liu for a while.
"Oh? Quite perceptive, but unfortunately, none of you will be able to leave here today!" Xia Liu said, pointing his Sword Finger, and the Fire Spirit Sword erupted with force.
Nick's reaction was also very unimpressive; he immediately called forth his Blood Energy.
The viscous, almost tangible Blood Energy formed a barrier in front of him.
The Fire Spirit Sword crashed down thunderously.
The collision caused the castle to shake violently.
"It seems the Blood Clan Duke does have some strength!" Seeing the scene of the Fire Spirit Sword dispersing, Xia Liu nodded to himself in approval.
To kill these vampires, he would have to use the Golden Spirit Energy.
After all, once the Golden Spirit Energy touched these vampires, there was no recovery or healing for them.
"Huaxia Cultivator!" After testing, Nick immediately cried out.
"What! A Huaxia Cultivator?"
"God! How could a Huaxia Cultivator appear here!"
"Haven't we not violated any agreements? How can a Huaxia Cultivator invade Blood Clan territory!"
…
When Nick exposed Xia Liu's identity as a Cultivator, the Blood Clan members onsite became agitated.
They were very aware of how formidable Huaxia Cultivators were.
They were quite familiar with this species.
Those were the Super Experts capable of moving mountains and filling seas!
"Old man, you'd better explain how you figured out my identity, and what connection you have with the Huaxia Cultivators," Xia Liu said.
Even Xia Liu, who knew only Ye Xuan as a Cultivator in Huaxia, hadn't encountered any other Cultivators.
Of course, the old ancestor from the Immeasurable Sect didn't count, as he was a Super Expert from the Cultivator Era.
"Hahaha! Huaxia Cultivator! Since you dare to invade our territory, please leave your life behind!"
Ignoring Xia Liu, Nick's eyes then flickered, a terrifying aura bursting from within.
That was the true power of a Blood Clan Duke!
At the same time, a tangible blood-red overflowed from his body.
It was akin to the Inner Strength of a Warrior.
Blood Energy transformed into Blood Force.
Xia Liu nodded; like a Warrior, entering a certain level, the internal strength would also transform.
Nick wasn't about to give Xia Liu any chance, instantly unleashing the extreme speed unique to a Blood Clan Duke.
He almost vanished from the spot.
By the time he reappeared, he was already making a move to kill Xia Liu.
But Xia Liu's perception was incredibly sharp.
And with the thick Blood Energy emanating from these Vampire Clan bodies, no matter how peak their speed, he could still capture them.
Clang!
Spiritual Energy wrapped around Xia Liu's arm, blocking Nick's strike.
Then, his hand turned to blade, swinging with force to chop off Nick's arm…
