Ascension of the immortal Asura
chapter-46-30041322

John utilized the first step of his movement technique to instantly appear in front of the man. His essence Qi reserves were starting to run low from the previous battle and this one, and so John wanted to end the fight quickly.

John slashed his scythe out towards the man with all his strength, and poured in strength from his sphere dantian to his body to augment his attack. Scythe and glaive collided, and the man was shocked to find out that he had actually lost in that exchange. He was knocked back several yards while John had stood firmly at the site of the attack.

"How can he be so strong" thought the man. He was sure that this attack of his would at least knock the boy back once more, but the boy had met his attack with equal power. He was just about to speak up to John when he noticed John charging straight towards him.

Five Step Movement Technique: Second Step

Myriad Annihilation Scythe

John instantly appeared to the side of the man and slashed down with the first attack of the myriad annihilation scythe. The man had recovered just in time to see John's attack flying straight towards him.

Instead of taking the attack head on, the man proceeded to use his own movement technique and rapidly dashed to the side, narrowly avoiding John's attack.

The man quickly raised his glaive to send his own attack out towards John, at which point shock covered his face.

"Where is he" thought the man as he frantically looked around to find John. He sent his divine sense outwards, at which point he noticed John was several yards behind him, unleashing another attack. The man quickly turned around and saw that John's attack was almost on him.

"How can he be so quick?" thought the man as he watched John rapidly dash towards him, the power contained in John's scythe shocked the man.

"I don't have time to dodge, and I can't overpower his attack with the little time I have to power my attack. The only thing I can do is trade fatal blows with the boy. He's young and inexperienced, there's no way he's not afraid of death. He'll pull his attack away at the last moment to dodge my attack" thought the man as he quickly formulated a counter attack in his head. He quickly powered up his own attack and aimed for John's vitals.

John had just unleashed the third step of the Five Step Movement Technique to rapidly get behind the man once more. He was in the process of unleashing the second attack of the Myriad Annihilation scythe, at which point he noticed what the man was doing.

'He's giving up on defense and wants to trade blows?'

John was thinking about whether he should redirect his attack to block the man's own attack or keep his current trajectory. After a moment of deliberation, John came to a decision as a resolved look appeared in his eyes.

'I have to trust in the strength of my body and the Immortal Asura Body technique.' John prepared to exchange blows with the man.

"Are you crazy" yelled the man as he noticed what John was doing. He had never expected John to be a lunatic who was willing to exchange his own life for the mans, but it was too late to do anything but attack with all his might.

Boom!

A large explosion radiated outwards as both John and the man were sent flying backwards like broken kites. Blood heavily spewed out of John's mouth and chest and he flew dozens of yards before violently crashing into the ground. He tumbled back for nearly a hundred yards before finally coming to a rest. He lay there motionlessly for several minutes before he finally came to his senses.

"Cough!"

John continued to cough out blood from the attack he had just taken. He felt many of his ribs had cracked from the force of the attack, and several of his organs had taken substantial damage. A large wound cut deeply into his chest and blood was flowing out profusely. John mustered the last remaining power from his sphere dantian and managed to take out a Life Mist Healing Pill and pop it into his mouth.

John continued to cough out blood for several minutes before the medicinal pill finally started to slowly heal some of his inner wounds. Although the pill had helped, John felt as if he was still half a foot into the grave. He gasped for breath and tried to recover his Qi as fast as possible.

'Who knows how long it will be until the rest of that group shows up.'

After sitting there for fifteen minutes, John had finally managed to restore enough energy and managed to stand up. He limped over slowly towards where he had seen his foe fly off to. John hobbled for several hundred yards before he finally managed to spot the man.

"This!"

John drew in a deep breath as he finally saw the results of his attack. The man's body laid in two pieces fifteen yards apart from each other. His body was split from his right shoulder down to his left waist. A shocked and unbelieving expression was still evident on the man's face. Even in death, he was unable to believe that a mere middle Mist Creation boy would be able to kill him.

'The second attack of the Myriad Annihilation Scythe is even stronger than I imagined.'

John stared at the man for several seconds before walking over to him and storing his corpse away in his spatial area.

"I better leave quickly" muttered John as he started to walk away. The longer he stayed in the area, the more likely it was that the other men caught up to him.

"Leave? You won't be leaving I'm afraid." A voice suddenly sounded out behind John.
