Chapter 379 - Battle Deity
John felt himself overcome with emotions he usually never felt as he heard these words. Most of his cultivation life, he had only himself to rely on. While he did join the Heavenly Lightning Sect, he didn't really use their power for anything, other than Elder Ragur shielding him that one time.
After a moment of silence, John nodded his head and sat on the ground, finally relaxing after the most strenuous day of his life.
"You think too highly of yourself,
" Allfiend replied as he suddenly attacked towards John, intending on taking his life.
Bang!
Fully prepared for such a sneak attack, the Vice-Sect Leader moved forward with incredible speed, blocking the attack before it could be unleashed towards John. John stared intently at the Vice-Sect Leader, as it was the first time he had ever seen take out her weapon.
It was a small, slender sword, which glowed a brilliant hue of blue.
"War Elder's,
" her loud shout suddenly echoed out across the land..
"Eradicate whatever remains of this sect.
"
As if summoned by her words, dozens of Elder's, all revealing might at the Heaven Tribulation realm and above, appeared before John. Two landed next to John, seemingly to act as protectors, while the rest flew off into the sect, seeking out other Bloodfiend Elder's to slay.
The Vice-Sect Leader herself shot forward, speeding straight towards Allfiend who had finally stopped his backwards momentum.
Bang!
Weapons once again collided, but this time Allfiend was prepared for such an attack, and remained stable through the collision. Allfiend glared at the Vice-Sect Leader, who stared at him with a smug expression on her face.
"It appears as though last time I went too easy on you,
" Allfiend said.
"I should have erased you from existence back then, but you were far more trouble than it was worth to defeat. It seems as though I was incredibly wrong. I will finish today what I should have done years ago.
"
"Hmph,
" the Vice-Sect Leader scoffed at Allfiend's words.
"When we fought, I had barely ascended to the Dao Transformation Realm, and yet our battle was still even. Today, I will claim your life, and place your head at my disciples feet for him to spit on.
"
Allfiend's eyes narrowed as he heard this, and a look of growing anger appeared on his face. He put away his current weapon, and took out another one. It was a sword of incredible power which glowed from within, as if a fire was raging inside its blade.
The Vice-Sect Leader stared at the weapon for a moment, before glancing back to Allfiend.
"A peak Dao Transformation Grade weapon? This sword is not from this continent. It seems as though you've been having quite extensive trades with the Divine Martial Continent as of late,
" she said to Allfiend.
"Hmph,
" Allfiend scoffed.
"Our Forbidden Alliance plans are far beyond your comprehension. I will use this sword to claim your life as a tribute to the plans which will drown this world in our power.
"
Bang!
Allfiend slashed the sword towards the Vice-Sect Leader, and an incredible blood red sword image appeared in the sky. Hints of flames surrounded it, clearly augmented by the weapon itself.
The attack slashed towards her with absolute power, as if nothing could stop it. The Vice-Sect Leader's eyes narrowed as she slashed her sword out as well, sending a powerful sword image to meet it.
Bang!
The collision between battle arts created a violent explosion, uprooting trees and causing the very land to shake.
The Elder's next to John flared their power out to meet the explosion, shielding John from harm.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
John watched from below as the two exchanged dozens of attacks in an instant. Their attacks collided with absolute power, shaking the land and destroying whatever was in its path. The mountain John was sitting on began to crumble, and the two Elders quickly wrapped him up with their power and took him to a safer distance away from the fight.
A large smile was permanently plastered on the Vice-Sect Leader's face, as if her fight right now was the most enjoyable thing in the world to her. In fact, she even looked a bit crazy at the moment to John, making him fully realize why she was called the continent's number one battle maniac.
Soon, the entire Bloodfiend Sect was engulfed in an incredible war, as Thunderzen battled the demon, the Vice-Sect Leader battled Allfiend, and the other Elder's battled with the remaining Elders of the Bloodfiend Sect.
Before long, the entire sect had been destroyed from the calamitous battle arts being used, reducing the land to an unrecognizable state. Valleys formed where they had never been, and entire mountain ranges crumbled to the ground.
Bang!
Another calamitous collision exploded above John, causing him to glance in the direction.
"Master!
" John screamed out in panic as he watched his master lose out on an exchange and be violently knocked to the ground below. Her body slammed into the earth with incredible force, causing a massive crater to appear where she had fallen.
"Hahaha!
"
Growing laughter began to echo out from the crater as the Vice-Sect Leader suddenly shot out of it and towards Allfiend above. Her laughter trailed behind her as she appeared next to him in an instant and slashed out her sword once again.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The two continued to exchange incredible attacks, with the Vice-Sect Leader losing out on more and more exchanges. Small wounds were inflicted on her, causing blood to drip down her face and arms. However, the smile on her face never faded, as if she was truly enjoying every second of the battle.
John shivered as he saw this, as he could tell that she truly was a battle maniac, even more so than himself. However, his worry also grew at the same time, as his master was beginning to lose out against Allfiend.
John turned to the two nearby Elder's
"Shouldn't you help her?
" John asked.
The Elder's looked at John with calm eyes, as if they had no worries in the world.
"Clearly you don't know your master at all. Just sit and watch,
" one of the Elder's replied before looking back to the fight.
"Oh, she hasn't used her lightning power yet,
" John replied, finally understanding what was going on. However, all he got was a small laughter from the nearby Elder's followed by words that stunned him.
"Your master hardly uses lightning powers, as her proficiency with lightning is quite lacking.
"
John stared at the Elder for a moment before looking back to the Vice-Sect Leader fighting in the distance.
The Vice-Sect Leader began to laugh loudly as she put her sword away.
"Haha, that was a pleasant warm up. But let's get to the real battle, shall we? I still need to claim your head as a gift for my disciple
" she said to Allfiend, who stared at her angrily.
Suddenly, a scythe, pitch black and exuding a dense aura of death appeared in her hands. Her aura instantly exploded out with far greater power than before, as she seemed to transform into a completely different person.
Her figure flashed forward, and appeared before Allfiend in an instant as her scythe slashed down with absolute power.
"However,
" the Elder who had previously talked to John spoke out once more.
"She has a proficiency in something far more terrifying than lightning! Just sit back and watch why the continent considers her to be a battle deity!
"
Bang!
