Miu Jiang froze mid-step, his face draining of color.
"W-What… what is that…?" he stammered, stumbling back. "That's… a Nine-Tailed Fox Bloodline?!"
His eyes gleamed with a mix of fear and fascination.
"Amazing… incredible. I want to see the power of a Legendary-Lineage Bloodline for myself!"
Cloudia stood tall and graceful, her golden fur glowing with an ethereal shimmer.
The wound on her neck was already gone—healed in moments as if it never existed.
"You'll see it, all right," Cloudia replied coldly. "But I doubt you'll survive it."
Miu Jiang chuckled darkly, regaining his composure as he stepped forward.
"Heh… let's find out."
He raised his sword, channeling his Spiritual Qi into the blade. A Green Aura spiraled around it, growing stronger with each second.
Pinnacle-Stage Sword Aura.
Then, he extended his left hand. It lit up with another layer of energy—his Proficient-Stage Aura, forming a second weapon of force.
Cloudia narrowed her eyes, watching him carefully.
