Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 556 That's not what I have heard

556  That's not what I have heard

Bia blinked at the strange and unfamiliar way Kyle called her... she wasn't used to it. He always called her by name, so why the sudden switch to little one? She grumbled inwardly and gripped his shirt to show her displeasure since she had no strength left in her body to even speak.

A calming feeling began to spread through her body, and her eyes started to close as spiritual energy continued to flow from his body to envelop her. Some faint symbols shimmered around her, creating a shield to protect her from the sudden shift of air in case he moved too fast.

Kyle sensed her tightening grip on his shoulder and picked up on her underlying unhappiness. His brow furrowed, and he raised the glinting silver spear in his hand. His gaze turned frigid as he locked eyes with the demon woman.

The demon woman, who had summoned more allies, sneered at him with disdain. She was caught off guard initially, but did he truly believe he could harm her again with numerous demons encircling him from all sides?

Indeed, she had noticed his strength surpassed that of a divine rank for some reason, but it's unrealistic to think he, just a mere divine rank, could defeat so many divine-rank demons, including herself a transcendent-rank demon.

Jian, who had once again been taken down by an individual from the dark race, glanced at Kyle's back and let out a loud shout.

"Bro, help me too! Don't just favor Bia! The phoenix is stronger than me!"

Bia's eyes narrowed sharply at Jian, and even Kyle took a quick glance at the red-haired man sprawled on the ground, trying to escape the many individuals with bat-like wings surrounding him. The man appeared to recognize him, but Kyle just couldn't recall him, even though his voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Kyle then shifted his gaze away and focused on the woman in front of him, his lips curling into a chilling smile.

"Just blame yourself... for touching someone you shouldn't have."

The demon woman laughed. Not just the silver-haired human, but all the other humans he was supposed to save were under her mercy, and he was being so arrogant right in front of her face? She wanted to raise her hand to taunt him but clenched her jaw when she remembered that even though she wasn't feeling pain anymore, her wrist was still healing.

She haughtily raised her head and stared directly at him.

"Ohhhh, I am so sacred. What are you gonna do, huh? Can you even touch me?"

As the demon woman's words faded, many demons appeared around her. Kyle raised his brow and fixed his gaze on her.

"I wonder as well what I am gonna do... let's see, how about we start with your demise?"

Bia, who had just closed her eyes to rest, gasped when his body moved once more. Her eyes widened because even though the shield around her body was preventing the air from shifting, the surroundings around her were changing too rapidly!

She clenched her feet tightly on his shoulder, afraid he might unintentionally drop her off somewhere.

When her vision cleared, the phoenix spotted the demon woman with a smirk on her face that quickly turned to terror when a pale hand suddenly grabbed her neck and forcefully slammed her entire body into the ground with a loud bang.

Bia observed as dust and debris clouded her vision, but nothing touched her body thanks to the shield around her. She held her breath when a scream echoed through the air and looked at Kyle's face, which was just a little distance away from her. A shuddering breath left her as she noticed nothing on his face except a hint of amusement.

The scene unfolded so quickly that the demons surrounding the woman couldn't react in time. They only realized what had happened when the demon woman's body had already plunged deep underground, with dust and debris swirling around. The demons hastily dispersed the dust and rushed to rescue the woman, but the silver-haired human had already vanished from the pit, leaving behind the woman coughing up blood and clutching the ominous dark mark on her neck.

Kyle's eyes gleamed as he swiftly moved and paused behind one of the demons attempting to rescue the woman. The spear in his hand hummed softly as he lifted its shaft and thrust the tip straight down towards the demon's chest.

Instantly, blood spurted from the demon's chest, and he looked at the other demons around him with a fearful expression, reaching out to them for help. But they all recoiled in fear after witnessing what had transpired, as the human had left after driving the spear into his chest.

Kyle halted at the edge of the pit, peering down at the demons below. His eyes swept the surroundings, and he noticed that the individuals with bat-like wings behind them, who were battling the humans nearby, had ceased their actions due to the event that just unfolded before them.

Jian flashed a grin at Kyle, but the red-haired man's smirk faded as a member of the dark race raised a blade towards his abdomen. He instinctively moved to shield his vital organs from harm, but before the blade could even make contact, Kyle appeared beside him in a flash and seized the blade's tip. The silver hair above Kyle's head shimmered softly as he shook his head in disapproval.

"You are pretty weak. He's not even divine rank, just a pseudo rank guy, but he can still harm you? That's not what I have heard. Maybe you are not one of the people Yue talked about."

Jian snapped out of his daze, his gratitude turning sour upon hearing Kyle's words. Weak? He wasn't weak at all! He had simply depleted all his divine energy! With a full reserve of divine energy, he could easily kill numerous pseudo divine rank individuals! However, when his tired mind processed Kyle's entire words, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

Did Kyle just talk about Yue?

Jian's eyes widened, and he wanted to ask if Kyle had really found Yue, but his words were stuck in his throat as he watched how effortlessly Kyle broke the hand clenching the blade aimed at him.
