Ascension Of The Immortal Asura

Chapter 678 Miststream Demise

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Numerous explosions blasted out in quick succession as a battle between dozens of youths raged on. On one side of the battle was the Forbidden Alliance, who had four youths, while the other side Honorable Alliance, who had nine and were all females. Normally such numbers would heavily favor the Forbidden Alliance, as their individual combat prowess was far beyond the Honorable Alliances.

However, within the group of nine Honorable Alliance youths was Elise Wisp, of the Miststream Sect. If John saw Elise, he would recognize her as the girl who had appeared in the Yuan Continent Heavenly Lightning Palace when they had inquired about the truth of the Bloodfiend Sect.

Elise was the strongest disciple of the Miststream Sect, an all-female sect, and had earned a ranking of number six on the Jade Dragon List before it was erased. Her cultivation was in the Peak Heaven Tribulation Realm, and her incredible strength was able to dominate this battlefield, as the Forbidden Alliance youths were not the best of the best they had sent.

On her own, Elise was able to fight against two of the Forbidden Alliance youths, while the other eight Honorable Alliance youths fought against the remaining two Forbidden Alliance youths._.

A thick mist surrounded Elise’s body, shrouding his figure and obscuring anyone from seeing her clearly. Numerous copies of her appeared within the mist, nearing twenty in total. To the naked eye, each copy was as real as the next, making it impossible to pick out which was the real body.

The Forbidden Alliance youths sent out their divine senses to get a clear view of her, but her profound mist obscured their divine senses as well, making them unable to discern the truth.

Elise flashed between the two youths while unleashing a barrage of water-based battle arts, each containing an illusory nature to it, making it incredibly hard to dodge. At the same time, each attack was beyond sharp, capable of severing her opponents in half if they were not careful. She used a sharp and thin sword which was transparent, as if made out of glass. The aura of the sword was incredible, and was an early Dao Transformation grade weapon; clearly something she had obtained from within the Jade Dragon realm.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The battle continued to rage on for quite some time, before it finally fell silent. Seven corpses laid strewn about on the ground, blood soaking the earth beneath them. Elise breathed heavily as she stared at the four dead Forbidden Alliance youths, before her apologetic gaze shifted towards the three dead youths belonging to her sect.

“I’m sorry,” she sighed with grief, “I couldn’t protect you.”

“Don’t blame yourself Elise,” one of the other girls said as they placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, “without you, we would all be dead. You cannot blame yourself for this.”

Elise shifted her gaze to the remaining five girls, who were all bloodied and wounded, but alive. A sad smile appeared on her face as she nodded her head at the five of them. She had to remain strong for them, as without her, the rest of her fellow sect members would all soon after.

“Why shouldn’t she blame herself?” a feminine voice sounded out behind the group, causing all of them to turn in fright towards the source of the sound. None of them had noticed the new arrivals’ presence, not even Elise herself.

“Your friends died because she was not strong enough to protect them, and neither were any of you,” the new arrival continued, “if you’re all not to blame for your weakness, then who is?”

“Who are you?” Elise asked with narrowed eyes as she raised her guard to the maximum, but she most likely already knew the truth. There was only one girl with blood red hair that could have this much power. She could tell that the new arrival was beyond terrifying, far stronger than the youths she had just fought.

The new arrival ignored her question and looked at the corpses on the ground, and clicked her tongue in displeasure.

“Tch, so much wasted blood again,” Amber Bloodrose grumbled before her gaze shifted back towards Elise and the others, while a villainous smile appeared on her face. “But there’s plenty of blood still left in you six,” she said as she licked her lips.

Boom!

Elise’s aura exploded outwards, while a thick mist surrounded her body. Her figure quickly multiplied, and soon there were twenty other figures within the mist that looked just like her. The other girls of the Miststream Sect quickly exploded with power as well, prepared for another battle to the death.

“Amusing power you have here,” Amber said mockingly, as if she were talking to a group of children. A blood-red sword appeared in her hands, and her body suddenly flashed forward, so fast that none of the other youths could keep up with her speed, not even Elise.

Che!

Blood spurted out from Elise’s chest as a sword pierced through her back. Her eyes widened with horrified shock as she turned her head to the side, taking in Amber’s sinister smile as she stood behind Elise.

“But sadly, this little trick of yours is useless against me,” Amber said as she withdrew the sword.

“Elise!” the other girls cried out before unleashing a barrage of attacks towards Amber.

Che!

Che!

Che!

A red sword slashed out in quick succession, each stroke severing a head or piercing a heart. In less than a second, all the Miststream Sect youths were slaughtered, not able to fight back for an instant.

Amber’s eyes lit up in delight as her hand waved out, and the blood within the bodies of the victims swirled up into the air before her. The blood quickly formed into a sphere two feet wide, which then flooded down towards Amber’s chest and disappeared within.

Amber shuddered as she closed her eyes, as if she were feeling pure ecstasy at the moment. The blood quickly vanished into her, and a soft moan of pleasure escaped her lips, as if she had just experienced the greatest pleasure in the world.

Her eyes opened once again, and after standing there in silence for a short moment, the sound of a distant explosion caught her attention once more. A sinister smile appeared on her face as her calm footsteps moved towards the source of the explosion.
