Sweat slid down Suzanne's forehead as her anxiety soared to the roof. Facing off against Jilque, who had reached the Peak Blood Master realm and soone who was known to have cultivated in two body cultivation thods, was nearly suicidal.
Not to ntion, he was part of the Blood Sect, which was known for its evil thods of committing heinous acts as long as it benefited them. Any other martial artists would have dropped everything they had and tried to escape when facing off against a Blood Sect mber.
Even if the Blood Sect mber wasn't strong, most martial artists would have no choice but to run away, or else they would draw the ire of the Blood Sect. And gaining the attention of the Blood Sect was never a good thing.
However, Suzanne had a duty to protect Mr. Light from any dangers that he might face and kill those who dared try to harm him. She was getting paid an enormous amount of gold to do. Of course, she could not forget that her pride was on the line.
She was soone who would never quit, even when there was an impossible challenge in front of her. It was her powerful will that allowed her to reach the Blood Master realm when her talent was only so-so.
Deep within her heart, she knew that if she turned her back now, it would beco a shadow of guilt in her mind that would affect her martial arts skills. Her powerful willpower, she used to beco as strong as she is, would shatter, and she would no longer be able to live with herself.
"What a terrible situation. I don't leave, I die. If I do leave, I will most likely die. Hpmh, I might as well keep my pride and die with dignity!" Suzanne gritted her teeth as she didn't bother to amuse Jilque.
A streak of red light flashed across her eyes as blood poured from her pores, covering her entire body. Within less than a second, she beca taller and thinner until she stood at around seven feet, and even the thickest part of her body was as thick as a human palm.
After transforming into what looked like a stick bug made of blood, the pressure around Suzanne quadrupled as she unleashed her full power. With such a powerful threat in front of her, she didn't have the mind to care about the possible damage their fight would cause to the town hall, much less the Jelly Town.
"So you decided to give up your life so easily. Tsk, I would be lying if I said I was surprised." Julique clicked his tongue when he saw Suzanne's transformation and showed a look of twisted joy.
"After spending my ti investigating your background and capabilities, I have to say that out of all the Blood Masters for Hire I battled, you might be one of the strongest I faced. Which ans that you will hopefully be able to entertain for a few minutes before I eat you." Jilque calmly said as he licked his blood-red lips, staring at Suzanne with desire.
He didn't even bother to activate his full power and watched Suzanne sprint at him at full speed. With her long, thin legs extrely thin, she quickly cut the distance between them in an instant.
If the Blood Master of a lower realm watched this battle, they would have seen Suzanne suddenly disappear before reappearing behind Jilque. Swinging her long, thin fingers directly at the neck with the plan of decapitating him in one move.
Yet, as soon as her blood fingers were a centiter away from cutting into Jilque's pale skin, he suddenly made a move. His figure wobbled uncontrollably and randomly, making it seem he was falling in every direction."
"Thousand Waterfall...what a troubleso technique," Suzanne muttered to herself as she instantly recognized one of Jilque's most famous or, more accurately, infamous escape techniques.
After accepting this job, she knew there was a chance she would have to face off against a mber of the Blood Sect, so she did her due diligence to research their techniques and famous mbers. It was already starting to pay off as she knew the secret of Jilque's Thousand Waterfall technique.
It was an escape technique that forced the user to wobble and toss their body in random directions with little thought to mimic water droplets inside a waterfall. While all water droplets had to fall to the ground, it was said to be impossible to predict the location or path of a water droplet once it began to fall from a waterfall.
There was simply too much chaos and unpredictability that made it impossible. This chaos and unpredictability was the main focus of this escape technique. The illusions of the user falling in thousands of different directions and ways made it impossible for their enemies to lock on to their correct escape thod.
This was an escape thod created by a Martial Grandmaster who was later killed by an ambush from the elders of the Blood Sect. As a martial art technique that has the potential to even be useful for Martial Grandmasters, its effectiveness in battle was clear to see.
Suzanne instantly knew that even with her level of experience, she could not crack the secrets of this martial art technique and could only rely on the accuracy of her information on Jilque's habits to predict what he would do.
"While Jilque seems to be a madman, in reality, he is very cautious. Just the fact that he bothered to launch an investigation on when he is so clearly stronger proves this fact."
"Paired with the fact that he has yet to reach the full limits of the Thousand Waterfall escape technique and can only create the illusion that he is falling in 16 directions. There is a much higher chance that I can slash at his real body."
"Anyone cautious would not take their chances with luck, and Jilque should be the sa. So there is no way he is any of these illusions and has already escaped!" Suzanne's mind raced as she gave up attacking any of the illusions in front of her and instead twisted her body like she had no bones to slash behind her.
"Clank!"
The sound of tal clashing against tal spread across the town hall, as Jilque suddenly appeared with a thick smile as he blocked Suzanne's attack with his dagger. His black eyes glowed with excitent as he opened his mouth to praise her but was interrupted by Suzanne's next attack.
