Ascension of the Immortal Asura

Sword and scythe collided as the two powerhouses exchanged their strongest attacks A dense death Qi emanated from both the Vice-Sect Leader and her scythe, shocking John greatly. That death Qi instantly wrapped around Allfiend, and John could see his flesh ever so slightly start to age and decay.

"What?" Allfiend exclaimed in shock as he noticed the strange energy, and quickly sped backwards to avoid it.

The Vice-Sect Leader instantly sped up once again to catch up to Allfiend, and continued her assault with power far greater than she had displayed before. Each attack of her scythe was beyond quick and sharp, causing John to take a deep breath of cold air upon seeing it.

Comparing his scythe skills to hers was like comparing an ant to an elephant. Her scythe twirled and slashed at unreal speeds and unpredictable angles, constantly keeping Allfiend on the defensive. It was a non-stop barrage of scythe attacks, each strong and sharp enough to claim Allfiend's life if one of them landed on him.

Allfiend's sword slashed out with the greatest speed and power he could muster, barely managing to keep the Vice-Sect Leader at bay, who seemed like a transformed person after switching to the sky.

But the thing that caught John's attention the most was not her scythe, but the strange and deadly energy she radiated around her..

"Death Qi!" John exclaimed as he watched his master fight in the distance. "How does she control death Qi?" John asked the two nearby Elders.

The Elder's both smirked with pride as they watched the Vice-Sect Leader instantly take the advantage over Allfiend.

"It's not just death qi, but the Dao of Death that she is using," one of the Elder's explained.

"Dao of Death!" John exclaimed in surprise. "But isn't the Dao of Death one of the rarest Dao's to be able to comprehend and use?" John asked.

"Indeed it is," the Elder replied as he continued to watch the distant battle. "The Dao of Death is incredibly hard to even grasp the faintest of concepts of, as all of us are living things. We cannot know what death is while we yet live, yet somehow your master has managed to do so," the Elder explained.

"We've asked her many times how she managed to comprehend the Dao of Death, but she never gave us an answer," the other Elder replied.

John stared back at his master who continued her assault on Allfiend in the distance. Utilizing her comprehensions of the Dao of Death, she was changing her essence Qi into death Qi. Death Qi was incredibly potent, as it would age, decay, and destroy almost anything it touched.

Not only that, but John could tell her comprehensions over the Dao of Death was far beyond his comprehensions towards the three Daos he knew how to use. His comprehensions were only in the very initial stage of comprehension, while his master's comprehensions were far beyond that level. As to what level she was at, John didn't know.

The Vice-Sect Leader suddenly slashed her scythe in front of her, and an incredibly sharp and fast scythe image sped towards Allfiend. It was one of her scythe battle arts, and was one of incredible speed and power. 

Allfiend slashed his sword out as fast as he could to meet the attack.

Bang!

Sword and scythe image collided, resulting in a tie between the attacks. 

"Hmph," the Vice-Sect Leader scoffed as she slashed her scythe out again, and again.

Che!

Che!

Che!

Scythe image after scythe image pierced towards Allfiend in a non-stop barrage, each more powerful than the last. Allfiend slashed out his sword in response, sending crimson sword images to meet them.

The battle arts continuously clashed with immense power in the sky, causing explosions to continuously explode down on the earth below. A massive crater began to form below the collision of battle arts, which soon grew to be miles across as the two cultivators continued their barrage of battle art attacks.

"How powerful!" John couldn't help exclaim as he watched his master fight evenly against Allfiend.

Allfiend was over two hundred years old, while his master was only around thirty years old. Despite this massive age difference, she was able to fight evenly against Allfiend, showing just how shocking her talent was. 

The battle art collisions continued for some time before the Vice-Sect Leader suddenly stopped attacking. Allfiend stopped as well as he stared warily at her.

Her gaze shifted towards a certain spot in the distance, and locked onto Thunderzen's fight against the incredibly powerful demon. While Thunderzen was unharmed, it seemed as though the Demon's defensive power was enough to mostly ignore his attacks. This couldn't be allowed to continue.

Her gaze shifted back to Allfiend once more and spoke out.

"This battle has been beyond thrilling, but it seems I cannot drag this out any longer. Time to end this!"

Allfiend's eyes filled with anger as he heard how the Vice-Sect Leader spoke about him, but his words were cut off as she suddenly appeared before him. Her aura of death exploded out with far greater power than before, washing over Allfiend.

Allfiend felt his speed slow down considerably, as his flesh began to age. Even his Qi seemed to be affected, and was weakened considerably.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The two exchanged dozens of attacks, with the Vice-Sect Leader winning each exchange. She made sure to stay close to Allfiend for each attack, so that her aura of death could continue to weaken him.

Allfiend grit his teeth in anger as he continued to fight back against her. When it came to their strongest battle arts, Allfiend was even slightly stronger than the Vice-Sect Leader. However, her death Qi weakened him considerably, and Allfiend had no way to defend against it other than to use his Qi as a shield.

Doing this was draining his essence Qi far faster than he could maintain, and Allfiend finally realized he could not win this battle. The attacks from the Vice-Sect Leader were starting to add up, and Allfiend soon found himself at the end of his energy. His body was riddled with wounds, and his flesh was starting to become decayed from the non-stop death energy assaulting him.

Che!

Allfiend slashed his sword out to meet one of her attacks, and used the power of the attack to fuel his backwards momentum. After getting some distance from the Vice-Sect Leader, Allfiend turned around and began to speed away.

Bang!

An attack from in front of Allfiend collided against him, shocking him greatly. His eyes snapped to the source of the attack, and quickly spotted another Heavenly Lightning Sect Elder. The Elder's attack was not powerful enough to injure him, but it was powerful enough to stall him.

Allfiend's eyes snapped wide open as he realized this, and he quickly turned around. However, it was too late.

Che!

An incredibly quick blur of sharpness flashed right past Allfiend, and his eyes opened wide as the realization of what just happened hit him. His eyes locked onto the one standing nearby, who stared at him with cold, indifferent eyes.

"I--"

Allfiend tried to say some words, but the thin line on his neck quickly grew, silencing those words forever.

In the distance, John watched in stunned disbelief as he saw Allfiend's headless body fall to the ground below. The monstrously powerful leader of the Bloodfiend Sect, who had ruled over the Forbidden Alliance lands for hundreds of years, had finally fallen in battle.
