Ascension of the Immortal Asura

John glanced up and locked eyes with the man who had just appeared. The man wore a blood red robe, the signature style of the Bloodfiend Sect. He was far stronger than the previous Elder, and was not something John could fight against, even in his peak state.

The man's gaze swept across the land below before it locked onto John.

"You! You're the Fenix Clan boy Allfiend inquired about. What are you doing here? And where is Elder Farren?" the man asked with a cold tone.

John smiled as he looked at the man. "I don't know an Elder Farren," John replied. "But I do somewhat know this man."

As he said this, the top half of the Elder he had slain appeared in his hands. The Elder above narrowed his eyes as he stared at John and his clear provocation. After a moment of glaring at John, a small smile appeared on his face as something appeared in his own hand.

A severed head suddenly appeared in the Elder's hands. He held the head by its hair, and the face dangling below clearly belonged to a woman. John frowned as he saw this. He did not know who this person was, but he had a guess.

"Is this the source of your confidence?" the man mocked John. "This Elder of your Heavenly Lightning Sect was quite powerful, and quite a pain to kill, but she eventually succumbed to my power. I'm afraid your last hope of salvation has fallen to my hands, and as such, you and your pitiable clan will be joining her momentarily" the man continued his taunting.

John's frowning face stared at the man as another head suddenly appeared in John's other hand. As soon as the head appeared in his hand, a look of absolute shock appeared on the Bloodfiend's Elder's face.

His wide eyes stared at the head of Allfiend, whose glazed eyes seemed to be staring back at him. A sense of confusion and panic filled the man, who didn't know how to react to what he was seeing.

"So that's what happened to Elder Mable," a voice suddenly boomed over the land before the man could react to what John had revealed to him.

The Bloodfiend Elder suddenly turned his head towards the source of the voice.

"Who!" the man exclaimed, as he had not sensed the presence of anyone else in the area. His eyes quickly spotted a person appear before him, and they opened wide in shock.

"You! Why are you here!" the man cried out.

"I'm here because I want to be here," Lilian replied with a calm voice. However, there was a detectable amount of simmering anger in her voice. Her gaze locked onto the head still in the man's clutches, and her gaze turned even more heated.

"I found it strange that the Fenix Clan was under assault, and the Elder we stationed here to protect them was nowhere to be found. Elder Mable was an honorable woman, so I assumed the worst. It seems as though my assumptions were correct," Lilian said as she slowly approached the man.

Everyone had been shocked by the man's arrival, and became even more shocked as another person showed up. They could feel the cultivation of the man, who radiated a Peak Heaven Tribulation cultivation, but could not feel the cultivation of the woman.

However, while they could not feel her cultivation base, they could tell that she was incredibly powerful.

"Who is this woman?" Barden suddenly asked John. "Do you know her?"

John smiled as he looked up at his master above. "Just stay here and watch the show," John replied. "It will be over before you know it."

John had already done everything he wanted to, and was leaving the rest to his master. He could tell that his master cared for the slain Elder Mable, and so was sure that there would be quite the carnage occurring soon.

"Elder Mable was strong, but she was only in the Middle Heaven Tribulation Realm. We assumed that the Bloodfiend Sect would not place enough importance on this place to send someone stronger, but I suppose those plans failed as soon as you found out John's true identity," Lilian continued.

Her gaze shifted again to the head clutched in the man's hands, and her gaze turned soft and apologetic for a moment.

"I'm sorry my friend. You fought to the death for the good of our sect, and so I will spill every drop of this man's blood in your honor."

Her voice was soft, but it strangely echoed out across the entire area for all to hear. Everyone felt a chill crawl up their spine as they could feel both the melancholy in her voice, as well as the extreme bloodlust.

The man also felt this extreme bloodlust in Lilian's voice, and he turned to speed off without a single notice. He knew his power was no match for Lilian's, whose reputation across the Yuan Continent was unmistakable.

Lilian appeared before the man like a ghost before he could flee, and her foot came crashing up into his groin with incredible power.

Bang!

An incredible loud sound boomed over the entire area, shaking the very ground from the force of the attack.

The man's eyes nearly popped out of his skull as a cry more pained than anyone had ever heard echoed across the land.

"Ggrahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Those who had witnessed the attack winced at the brutality of it, and even John winced at his master's actions.

'It seems like she truly is angry. Although I don't blame her.'

John understood his master's fury and anger, as he had experienced the same fury and anger when he witnessed Russell's death. As far as he was concerned, no punishment was too great for the Bloodfiend Elder.

The man instantly curled into a ball and fell down to the earth below. However, Lilian appeared before him and wrapped him up in her power. The man floated there before her, barely holding onto his consciousness as a pain more brutal than he had ever felt surged through him.

The man threw up several times as well, while Lilian looked on with cold eyes. She reached out and grabbed the severed head of Elder Mable, before she gazed at John below.

"There is no one else of noticeable power in the area. You handle the rest of the enemy, while I deal with this man for a while."

Without waiting for John to respond, Lilian's body suddenly vanished, along with the man who had been flaunting his power just moments ago. Barden, Cade, and the rest of the Fenix Clan stared at the now empty sky for a moment before they all turned to look at John.

"John….who was that woman?" Barden couldn't help but ask.

John rubbed his cheek with one of his fingers as a wry smile appeared on his face.

"That... was my master."
