Chapter 97: First Encounter! K Organization
“E Huo, Hua Ren, someone’s here.”
Feeling a strange sense of being watched, Su Jiu’s eyes swept around, and she lightly tapped E Huo. E Huo didn’t hesitate and transformed into a short sword, its soft voice echoing in Su Jiu’s mind.
“Mommy, she said people wearing this kind of clothes are bad guys. The other words are too fragmented, ‘rob’… ‘turn hot’ or something.”
“Turn hot, rob…”
Hearing this, Su Jiu frowned, then relaxed, and said softly, “She’s too young, but many of those Sirens refuse to communicate. We couldn’t get any useful information through negotiation, so we’ll have to report back.”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!” A strong gust of wind seemed to appear around them. The next second, a blade glow, like a white bird arriving, pierced through the mist, its target aimed directly at her forehead.
“External Qi-enhanced blade glow, is it a Battle General? Who is it?! From the Lianyun Song Troupe?
“No, too fast, impossible!”
Tossing the Siren aside, a bloody light flashed in Su Jiu’s eyes. A blood-colored energy shield surged around her. She crouched down, easily dodging it, and then charged towards the source of the blade glow.
“Chii! Chii! Chii!”
In an instant, the short sword flicked out streaks of sword flowers, and a crimson blade glow slashed out!
Blade Draw Slash! Instantly slashing multiple sword glows!
As Su Jiu’s strength increased, Blade Draw Slash not only became faster but also more powerful.
…
At the same time, about twenty meters away from here, next to a rock, a figure muttered:
“Should be dead, right? Just a Little Priest… Next, I need to notify the Boss.”
Seeing the sword energy already striking towards Su Jiu and Su Jiu’s figure crouching down as if she had been hit.
The figure yawned, took out her phone, and prepared to report. Her face gradually became clear under the light; it was the male Exorcist who had been traveling with Su Jiu.
“How could it be—”
Suddenly hearing several sounds of air-breaking, he quickly looked up, his pupils sharply contracting.
“Swoosh!”
The crimson sword energy instantly broke through the mist, and behind it, a petite red figure followed closely, aiming to strike off his head!
This Golden Exorcist had no time to think. He raised the slender Long Sword in his hand, blocking in front of him, his arm vibrating. White energy shields filled the surroundings, attempting to directly block these sword energies.
“Warrior Class.”
He quickly realized in his mind that this was not an external Qi release. The opponent was just Warrior Class. They shouldn’t have…
The thought didn’t finish.
“Boom!”
The moment the Long Sword touched the crimson sword energy, a deafening echo resounded. Sonic booms erupted from the point of contact, and the airflow blew away the surrounding mist, revealing several more blade glows.
“This is definitely not Warrior Class. This person is hiding their strength!”
He stared blankly at the sword energies still charging towards him, the muscles in his arm trembling wildly. This feeling was like facing a Dragon Hunter, who was also a low-level Battle General!
Helpless!
Unstoppable power!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Several more crimson sword energies struck. The Golden Exorcist staggered backward, biting his teeth to retaliate, but his sword was knocked askew. Lian Mang, looking flustered, shouted forward:
“Who are you? I have no enmity with you, why are you relentlessly pursuing me!”
Clearly, he didn’t believe it was Su Jiu. In his opinion, Su Jiu was already dead. This might be a backup plan from the Dragon Hunters.
“No enmity? You were the one who made the first move just now.” A clear, cold voice sounded behind him. The male Exorcist instantly broke out in a cold sweat. This time, he couldn’t retaliate anymore.
There was no time at all!
The moment it touched the energy shield, the crimson sword blade cut through like tofu, and the white energy was instantly dispelled by the red bloody energy.
The sword was like the horn of a ram, naturally connecting. The momentum was like the crescent moon newly appearing!
A blood moon, inverted and hanging upside down, began to glow. Two items on the Golden Exorcist instantly dropped—his two arms. Blood spurted out like a spring.
“Clang.” The sound of the Long Sword dropping followed.
“Bang!”
Then, before he could react, Su Jiu’s hem kicked up a gust of wind, and a swift kick sent him flying back into the rock.
“Ah…”
Dust billowed. As the intense pain spread through his body, he reacted and tried to scream, but a cold glint appeared at his neck, and his voice abruptly stopped.
“If you don’t want to die, I’ll ask one question, and you’ll answer it.” Su Jiu stared at him coldly, the tip of her sword slightly piercing his neck skin, causing beads of blood to well up.
“Sir, I am a government Golden Level Exorcist. I am currently responsible for expelling monsters. Are you…”
The Exorcist trembled and looked up. He noticed a smiling yet not smiling face, fair skin, and malicious blood-red eyes, clearly a powerful demon unique to the West.
Before he could fully react, he stammered: “Vampire…”
Then, seeing the wide sleeve and the familiar Fusheng, he suddenly realized that this was the Little Priest he was supposed to kill.
Is she—is she a High-level Demon Vampire?
How is that possible?! Vampires can’t use Rejuvenation Technique! Moreover, most cities within Dragon Country do not allow such dangerous species to enter.
“Who sent you to kill me?” Su Jiu’s icy voice shattered his frantic thoughts.
“…Little Sister, I attacked just now because I thought you were a monster.”
He took a deep breath, endured the pain, and forced a smile. He wanted to explain something when he suddenly noticed the opponent extending another pale hand and gently tapping her fingers.
What is she doing?
At this moment, blood began to gush from the severed arm that was just cut by the blood light. He felt not only pain but also a sense of thirst rising in his heart, accompanied by the fear of facing death.
“I don’t need to tell you what abilities Vampires have, right?” Su Jiu said calmly.
This was the only skill she learned from her Progenitor—Blood Surge!
As the name suggests, it can cause blood to gush out rapidly when the opponent has wounds, but there’s a prerequisite: one must be wounded by the user’s blood Qi, and the medium is that blood Qi.
“I really don’t…”
The Exorcist licked his dry lips, his face turning almost as pale as Su Jiu’s. He wanted to say something, but if his organization found out, he wouldn’t live long.
“If you don’t want to talk, then don’t!”
Su Jiu smiled coldly, and a faint blood light appeared at her fingertips. At this moment, it seemed as if the spurting blood from the opponent’s severed arm turned from a stream into a high-pressure water gun.
“Wait… I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you.” The Golden Exorcist’s eyes widened in shock, and he quickly called out to stop.
Su Jiu snapped her fingers, a crisp sound ringing out. The blood flow from his severed shoulder slowed down.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he continued, “People from the Doan Bar sent me. You’ve heard their rumors, right…”
“It seems you’re not telling the truth.”
Su Jiu’s voice grew colder. The sharp blade in her hand moved a little closer, the tip already fully submerged into his neck. But she knew that the life of a Battle General wouldn’t end so easily.
She was just relentlessly crushing his psychological defenses.
Feeling the coldness of the blade entering his flesh, the Golden Exorcist was almost scared to urinate. He immediately spoke, “K Organization! It’s the K Organization! They want me to retrieve the Sub-Dragon Flame Crystal from you.”
“Are you and that woman on the train in the same group?” Su Jiu finally realized who the opponent was.
“Yes… she’s also from K.” The Exorcist answered with his head bowed.
“What do your Boss, or rather, your organization, want with the Sub-Dragon Flame Crystal?” Su Jiu asked the question she most wanted to know. This might be related to why those Sirens went berserk.
The Exorcist shook his head and said softly, “I don’t know. I’m not qualified to know these things. It’s rumored to be for some experiment.”
Su Jiu glanced at him, confirming he wasn’t lying. Then she changed the subject and asked, “What’s the Lianyun Song Troupe’s connection to this matter?”
The Exorcist hesitated, looked up at Su Jiu, and found her eyes becoming increasingly cold. His heart trembled, and he wanted to speak: “…”
Before he could utter a word, a yellow formation suddenly appeared on his forehead. His eyes glazed over, his mouth remained open, and he stood still, frozen. A sense of danger surged. Su Jiu inwardly thought, “Not good,” and quickly leaped away.
Afterward, a huge explosion sounded, kicking up clouds of dust.
“A forbidden formation was placed on him… As expected, the Lianyun Song Troupe has some connection to the K Organization.”
Su Jiu covered the dust with her sleeve. A few white figures circled in the sky for a moment before leaving. Then, the surrounding mist began to subtly dissipate, revealing other figures in the distance fighting a giant crab-like creature.
