Chapter 555: Who Said It Can't Fly Without a Pilot?
Although he was reluctant to believe it, Xiao Jie had to admit that Xia Liu was indeed a warrior of a higher rank than himself.
And his intentions were not hostile, otherwise, that one move just now would have been enough to kill him instantly.
Or, perhaps he didn't even need to do that much, a casual move from him could take his life.
But he didn't, which was enough to explain everything.
"Crap, haven't I already told you, my name is Xia Liu." Xia Liu was almost going crazy.
He had mentioned it twice now.
Could Xiao Jie possibly have a case of continuous amnesia?
"You know, that's not what I'm asking," Xiao Jie said solemnly.
"Er, you mean to ask about my background, huh? Well, let's put it this way, I'm quite close with Fang Huasheng from Spearhead, and I also have some connections with Heaven Slaying's Ouyang Lingtian as well as his grandfather Ouyang Xiong."
"Ah! Fang Huasheng is the commander of the Spearhead Troop and has a lot of clout in the higher echelons."
"And Ouyang Xiong's status is no small matter either!"
"Damn! I've been following Ouyang Lingtian; he is the King of Soldiers in Heaven Slaying!"
"Holy shit! What's his background, knowing all these people!?"
Hearing the names they admired, and even worshipped, casually being mentioned by Xia Liu, the soldiers were all deeply shaken to their cores.
Only now did they begin to realize.
Xia Liu possessed high-strength martial arts; he definitely could not be an ordinary person.
Only an expert King of Soldiers from Heaven Slaying could possibly be this formidable.
Xiao Jie was somewhat dazed as he looked at Xia Liu.
Suddenly, he remembered something the Spearhead members told him a long time ago.
They had won the annual tournament against Heaven Slaying this year!
Xiao Jie was utterly shocked at the time.
It was the fear of losing to Heaven Slaying every year that made him take on this mission.
From what he was told by the members, a young man from Spearhead went there this time.
He directly defeated Heaven Slaying's ultimate instructor and then claimed victory.
Xiao Jie could never forget that Heaven Slaying's instructor was the Sect Leader of Taiyi, with a cultivation reaching the Earth Rank!
Although he didn't know the exact rank, it was clear that this was not someone a low-rank warrior could provoke.
Yet someone from Spearhead defeated the instructor of Heaven Slaying.
This was enough to prove that this person had reached the Earth Rank in cultivation!
Xiao Jie had also inquired about the name of this person, calling him Xia Liu.
Xia Liu!
"Are you the Xia Liu who defeated the instructor of Heaven Slaying?" pondering over this, Xiao Jie looked at Xia Liu with a pale face and asked.
"It's not really about defeating, his cultivation was relatively low, I was basically bullying him." Xia Liu nodded his head, without a hint of modesty.
"Wow!"
"He just said that defeating the instructor of Heaven Slaying was bullying the opponent!"
"How strong is he exactly? Even the instructor of Heaven Slaying is not his match."
"Too terrifying. How could there be such a formidable young man in this world?"
"So powerful it's infuriating!"
The words of Xia Liu immediately elicited exclamations from those in the know.
Even Xiao Jie was deeply shaken to the core of his being.
The instructor of Heaven Slaying was an Earth-Rank warrior!
Yet Xia Liu claimed that his actions amounted to bullying the other.
Then his cultivation must be at the peak of Earth Rank or even Heaven Rank!
Scary!
Xiao Jie didn't dare to imagine any further.
He had always thought that having a Mysterious Rank Peak cultivation at his age and upgrading to Earth Rank in a few years, would make him an extraordinary talent or even a monster.
But today, after seeing Xia Liu, his pride was completely smashed to smithereens, compared to Xia Liu, he was nothing but a speck of dust.
"Let's go, I'll take you there." Without saying much more, Xiao Jie, with the support of Xiao Lin, slowly entered the base.
"Oh yeah! The big boss is so amazing!" Rose could barely control herself from kissing Xia Liu.
She had been paying attention to Xia Liu and Xiao Jie from beginning to end.
Pondering it carefully, she felt her entire being invigorated.
This is truly a relief!
"Impressive? If that were truly the case, people I care about wouldn't keep having accidents one after another." Xia Liu smiled bitterly, unable to feel too pleased.
After all, Mo Wanqing was still missing.
From Norman's behavior, he had roughly guessed.
The Ross Family was merely a branch of the Blood Clan!
In other words, the entire Ross Family were vampires!
Realizing this, Xia Liu felt a creeping unease, thinking of Mo Wanqing, a human, entering the Ross Family.
Extremely dangerous!
Even if she wasn't with the Ross Family, being alone and unprotected in America was even more perilous!
Yet all these issues couldn't be rushed.
Vampires possessed formidable vitality and strength.
If it were night, an Earl-level Blood Clan member could even contend with a true Earth-Rank Warrior.
At their peak, during the night when their power was augmented, a Marquis could face a Heavenly Rank Early Level Warrior without it being a problem.
A mysterious and ancient vampire family like the Ross Family would surely have a grand number of Marquises.
There would also be an immense number of Dukes.
Xia Liu couldn't be certain if anyone had ever come into contact with the Ross Family.
There had been many encounters with vampires, yet they were all tight-lipped.
Extracting useful information from them was far more challenging than killing them.
Additionally, Xia Liu had to be wary of a certain group of people on his trip to America.
Psychic Beings!
The two bodyguards from Norman previously were clearly substandard products.
Defective goods.
A true Psychic Being possessed an attribute.
The most common ones were Fire-Based Exotic Power Users and Water System Power Users.
The division of Psychic Beings' strengths was relatively straightforward.
There were only four ranks: one, two, three, and four.
These symbolized that the mutant potion had been updated four times.
But what's frightening is the sheer strength of these Psychic Beings.
A Primary-Level Psychic could be compared to a Yellow-Rank Warrior of Huaxia.
A second rank comparable to Mysterious Rank, third to Earth Rank, and fourth to Heaven-Rank Warriors!
If there were a hundred fourth-rank Psychics, even Xia Liu would have to weigh his capabilities.
After all, a hundred Heaven-Rank Warriors are quite terrifying.
Moreover, Psychic Beings had various attributes.
One attribute in particular worried Xia Liu: wind.
Wind signified speed.
In the world of martial arts, only speed is invincible.
"Let's take it one step at a time," he murmured, no longer overthinking since before the arrival, plans can never keep up with changes.
And all strategies crumble before absolute power.
"Master, we've arrived," Rose's Spirit Sound gently penetrated his ears.
Xia Liu looked around.
This was a small airfield.
The spacious area housed four or five helicopters.
All were military aircraft, with ammunition still loaded.
"You asked for a plane, and I've delivered. Next up, it's your move," Xiao Jie said leisurely.
"What do you mean 'next up, it's your move'? Where are the pilots?" Rose asked in surprise, noticing there were no pilots around.
"He only asked to borrow a plane, not the pilots, so I can't help with that. Besides, all the pilots here are on leave."
"Haha! That's great! Now let's see how you'll fly!" Xiao Lin couldn't help but laugh.
"Who said you can't fly without pilots?"
…
