Ascension Of The Immortal Asura

Chapter 378 - Thunderzen’s Might

Bang!

Lightning slammed onto the demon that had just been summoned, staggering it and knocking it back quite a distance.

Roar!

The demon roared loudly, out of both frustration and pain. Its eyes snapped onto the nearby Thunderzen, who floated in the sky in front of the demon. Compared to the demon, Thunderzen was no more than a speck of dust.

"I was wondering what Allfiend was planning," Thunderzen said to the demon. "But I never expected him to stoop this low and break one of the laws set down by the alliance agreement."

Thunderzen shook his head slightly as his gaze trailed towards Allfiend, who was speeding towards John in the distance.

"Pitiable human, you dare stand against me?" the demon replied, its voice deep and guttural. Just his speech alone was powerful enough to shake the nearby land..

Thunderzen glanced back at the demon, his face relatively calm. "If you were summoned properly, I would be in quite the problematic situation, but it seems as though you have not been summoned with your full power."

"Even still, that is enough to kill the likes of you!" the demon replied as his hand suddenly swiped out towards Thunderzen.

Thunderzen's body flashed, narrowly dodging the attack from the demon. The demon's hand slammed onto the earth below, the force of the attack shattering the earth for over a mile in each direction. Whatever was left of the Bloodfiend Sect within that area was now completely destroyed.

"Tsk, so impatient. How typical of your race," Thunderzen mocked as he reappeared near the demon. "Tell me, what did Allfiend promise you in exchange for your summoning? Flesh? Blood? Riches? Heavenly Materials? And in exchange for that, you were to destroy the Honorable Alliance powers of this continent, am I correct?" Thunderzen asked curiously.

"Die!"

The demon shouted out without answering Thunderzen's question. Its aura flared out with absolute power as its body was coated with infernal hellflames. It opened its mouth, and a ball of monstrously powerful Qi suddenly formed in it. The Qi attack shot out towards Thunderzen in an instant.

Thunderzen frowned as he stared at the attack. His finger pointed towards the attack, and lightning built up on it for a moment before it shot out towards the attack.

…

Boom!

The two attacks collided, and the explosion resulting afterwards billowed outwards for over a mile. Even dozens of miles away, John felt the heat from the demon's hellflames on his skin, revealing how powerful it was.

However, he ignored the demon, as his focus was locked onto Thunderzen.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Repeated collisions between the demon's attacks and lightning occurred, each one grabbing John's attention. After watching him attack, John finally understood why his Sect Leader was called Thunderzen.

Each time he attacked with lightning, the area around him seemed to turn into a land of peace. John felt a sense of tranquility and ease while staring at Thunderzen's lightning, as if being touched by it would be the greatest of feelings.

Even dozens of miles away, John felt himself be nearly wrapped up in this feeling. He knew that if he was right in front of Thunderzen, the urge to welcome the lightning would be overwhelming.

The lightning even made no sound upon release, further adding to this feeling of tranquility, as its warm light bathed the nearby area. However…

Bang!

Upon contact with its target, Thunderzen's lightning would explode with absolute power. John had never seen lightning this powerful, even when compared to the tribulation lightning he experienced. He knew that if he took one of Thunderzen's attacks head on, he would die without being able to fight back.

Flash!

The next lightning attack flashed out from Thunderzen, and John once again felt himself fall into the same daze once again. To him, nothing looked more relaxing and wondrous than touching the lightning. It was as if his lightning was the most Zen thing in existence.

Bang!

Thunderzen's lightning exploded onto the demon once again, knocking it backwards hundreds of yards. The two titans exchanged dozens of attacks, destroying the nearby mountains, and shaking the entire land for dozens of miles. Even if he hadn't destroyed the Bloodfiend Sect himself, this battle occurring now would have done the job.

John snapped out of his daze once again, and shook his head to regain his senses.

"How dangerous. No wonder Thunderzen is feared across this entire continent. Just how powerful is his full strength?" John couldn't help but muse out loud.

Watching his Sect Leader fight instilled him with a desire to elevate himself to that level, and eventually ascend beyond it.

While he wanted to keep watching, John knew he had more important things to focus on right now. His soul power flared, and Kirii suddenly appeared on the ground before him. Kirii's breathing was light and uneven, and its body was quite damaged from the tribulation lightning that had struck him.

A pill quickly appeared in his hands, which emanated a dense medicinal aroma. It was the best healing pill he had on him.

"Kirii, eat this," John whispered as he placed the pill into Kirii's mouth and guided it into Kirii's stomach with his Qi. A dense medical energy quickly began to disperse throughout Kirii's body, slowly healing his wounds.

However, despite the wounds slowly healing, Kirii's breathing remained light and uneven, clearly indicating that the flesh wounds were not the real damage Kirii had taken.

"What's going on?" John grumbled through gritted teeth. "Why aren't you getting better?"

"It's not your pet you should be worried about," a malevolent voice suddenly entered John's ears.

His face grimaced as he looked up to the sky above him. His eyes focused on the person before him, who was the last person John wanted to see at the moment.

"Allfiend," John replied through gritted teeth. His gaze shifted to Thunderzen in the distance, who was still fighting against the demon. Clearly Thunderzen was too occupied to help John at the moment.

Allfiend noticed this gaze of John's, and a large, sinister smile appeared on his face. "Your helper can't help you anymore, and your tribulation is over. You're mine. You destroyed my sect, so I will take you away with me now, destroy your clan before your very eyes, and then destroy you slowly," Allfiend replied sinisterly.

John's mind raced as he thought of a solution to get out of this situation. His Qi was nearly drained, and his body incredibly damaged. Just standing up right now took his full strength.

However, his face suddenly lit up with happy surprise, as he heard the voice of someone he normally avoided at all cost.

"You want to destroy my disciple?" a voice suddenly appeared as a figure flashed between John and Allfiend. "Our previous battle ended in an unsatisfying tie. Today, I will claim your life!"

Allfiend stared at the figure who appeared before him, and his eyes narrowed with unpleasant frustration.

John's eyes stared at the figure who appeared before him, and a sense of ease and comfort washed over him. His voice echoed out softly, causing the one before him to turn around and look at him.

"Master!"

It was the first time he had called her that, but it felt natural at the moment. The Vice-Sect Leader stared at John, and a small smile appeared on her face.

"You've done well today. Leave the rest of the burdens to your master to shoulder."
