Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 918 - 921: Pacification

As the sound signaling the end of the battle dispersed, Xia Liu spread his palms wide, letting all the energy within him pour out.

In an instant, a murky haze shrouded Heaven and Earth, the ocean surged violently, tidal waves roared, and everything around became chaotic.

After a minute, a brilliant sun broke through the dark clouds, its radiance shining down on Xia Liu.

Holy Brilliance enveloped him, and the Flowing Fire Sword flew back, spiraling above his head.

Guo Po, Guo Xiao, and Guo Shi surfaced one after another.

Their faces were shadowed with gloom, pale as sheets, clearly shaken by the terrifying scene, their very souls trembling.

The Martial Artists on the shore were utterly breathless.

They stared fixedly at the upheaval of Heaven and Earth, then at the surrounding calm that followed, as if they had entered an Illusory Realm.

It seemed as though an earthshaking battle had erupted.

Yet it also seemed as though nothing had happened at all.

The silhouette standing upon the ocean’s surface remained firm, pulling everyone back to reality.

The battle had truly occurred!

And this young man had withstood the combined assault of three Innate Experts!

He was a terrifying existence!

Guo Fanghua stared blankly at Xia Liu.

She felt utterly powerless.

Xia Liu’s strength made her tremble.

Rendered her incapable of summoning any will for revenge.

If she went forward to fight now—

She might not even touch the hem of his clothes before being slain in a single breath.

Not worth it, utterly not worth it.

Without strength, her daughter’s vengeance could not be exacted directly.

Guo Ye looked at Xia Liu with horror; he had never anticipated—

Never in his wildest dreams imagined that this man, younger than himself, could possess such terrifying power.

A calamity!

A calamity for the Guo Family!

Guo Po, Guo Shi, and Guo Xiao swam toward the shore.

They could no longer muster any strength.

During the earlier confrontation, it was clear Xia Liu had done this intentionally.

He bore no intent to harm them, only to deplete their strength.

Watching the trio swim ashore, Xia Liu began to walk slowly as well.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, Xia Liu’s Divine Sense surged, and the Flowing Fire Sword spiraling above his head gradually dissipated.

This scene once again elicited countless audible gasps from the onlookers.

A miraculous Martial Arts Skill, condensing a heaven-defying Divine Blade.

With a single thought, the Divine Blade vanished without a trace.

He was not human; he was a god.

Many in the crowd recalled Xia Liu’s earlier words, his comment about the Innate Warrior Guo De: "Innate Minor Deity of the Warrior Realm, you’ve done your best."

Thinking back to it now, cold sweat unknowingly drenched their garments.

Standing at the shore, Guo De’s legs trembled slightly.

The moment his White Jade Sword shattered, he had suffered a serious injury. If he attempted to increase his strength again, his Innate Cultivation would dissipate into nothingness.

In critical moments, he would push himself to the limit, even if it meant perishing alongside the Guo Family.

Among the crowd, the most dazed figure was none other than that violet-clad silhouette.

Her face was icy cold, her enchanting eyes glaring intently ahead, unafraid of the fearsome man before her.

She was Guo Man, a mere ordinary person with no cultivation whatsoever.

Yet she had interacted with Xia Liu the most, and been hurt the deepest by him.

The tears in her eyes had long run dry.

"Mother, I want to cultivate, I want to become an ultimate warrior,"

After a long silence, Guo Man spoke slowly.

Hmm?

Hearing her daughter’s words, Guo Fanghua’s expression changed instantly.

All these years, she had tried everything to persuade her daughter to cultivate.

But she had always refused, even going abroad to study to avoid it.

Yet now, she brought it up herself.

Upon reflection, all the pain and bitterness stemmed from Xia Liu.

"Little Man, don’t worry, your mother will make sure you become a super expert!"

Understanding her daughter’s desire for revenge, Guo Fanghua promised firmly.

"There’s no need to become a super expert, I only need to reach the level where I can kill him."

Guo Man said coldly.

...

"Kill me?"

Xia Liu’s Divine Sense was vast, capable of enveloping five hundred meters after breaking the sealing. Every word she spoke struck his heart directly.

So it was true—he had ultimately hurt her.

"Senior, what grievance does my Guo Family have with you? Why must you push things to such extremes?"

As Xia Liu stepped ashore, Guo Po asked in confusion.

"I never said there was any enmity between me and the Guo Family. Things escalated to this point because of your aggressive actions, didn’t they?"

Xia Liu was puzzled; he had risked succumbing to evil to break some seals. Otherwise, the one twitching on the ground now would have been him.

"May I ask Senior for your name?"

Guo Po asked with a bitter smile.

"Xia Liu, summer of the heavens."

"Senior Xia, with your cultivation, the Guo Family should have welcomed you respectfully. However, you forcibly entered the Clan Protection Spirit Formation, even tearing it apart, causing immeasurable losses. It was only then that we acted—please forgive us."

Guo Po now understood fully.

Xia Liu truly bore no animosity toward the Guo Family.

If they continued to treat him coldly, they’d likely earn Xia Liu’s resentment instead.

His cultivation was unfathomable; even a group of Innate Warriors working together had been tragically defeated. The idea of defeating him was no more than a fantasy.

"Understood. If the Guo Family faces any crisis in the future, send word to me. I will arrive as quickly as possible."

"This…"

Upon hearing this promise from Xia Liu, Guo Po, Guo Shi, and Guo De trembled uncontrollably.

As Innate Realm Warriors, they understood the value of a promise from a powerful expert.

If the Guo Family ever encountered a threat capable of endangering them, it would undoubtedly be an enemy at or above the Innate Mid-Stage.

Such enemies were beyond their ability to handle, except for Xia Liu.

This promise was far superior to their Clan Protection Spirit Formation.

"Do you think your promise is so precious? To me, you’re just a scoundrel, a complete and utter fraud. Even your name might be fake!"

As Guo Po was about to express his gratitude, a voice suddenly rang out, freezing everyone in place.

Following the sound to its source revealed a frosty figure, her eyes burning with fury as they locked onto Xia Liu.

"How dare you! She—"

"Let her continue."

As Guo Po was about to shout, Xia Liu raised a hand to stop him.

"Continue? Should I tell everyone your ugly truths? Shall I lay bare every plan you schemed to infiltrate the Guo Family?"

"Little Man, I admit I hurt you this time. But if you’re referring to the Liang Chao incident, I don’t know them, nor would I stoop to such tactics to earn your trust."

"Don’t call me Little Man! Everything about you is a lie!"

Guo Man screamed angrily.

"Yes, I admit that most of the information was fabricated. Those were just ploys to get close to you."

Xia Liu didn’t evade, directly facing this karmic consequence.

"Ha! Despicable scoundrel, tell me your true name, tell me where you’ll be, and I swear, within my lifetime, I’ll find you and kill you!"

Guo Man sneered coldly. The man before her, a liar through and through, had sat beside her, spinning fabrications all along.

Now she finally understood why Xia Liu always kept his distance, hesitating but never fully committing.

He had only ever wanted her trust to gain entry into the Guo Family—a calculated move of immense proportions.

But did he ever consider her feelings?

To him, was she merely a pawn in his grand design!
