Morphology
bloodedly = blooded (semi-transparent) = blood + ed + ly
The components 'blood' + '-ed' + '-ly' suggest 'in a bloody manner', so the violent sense is partly inferable, but the formation is nonstandard (learners expect 'bloodily' or 'bloodied'), so it's not fully regular.
Etymology
Bloodedly comes from blood, the red liquid of life, and is like the word bloody, which points to 'blood' and injury; so to do something bloodedly is to do it violently or with 'bloodshed'.
