The Asura Immortal Asuras

CHAPTER 74: 74

Chapter 74: 74

Roy looked at John with wide-eyed and open-mouthed, completely shocked, and the audience's reaction was not much different either. They could all feel an intense battle aura emanating from John, which made him seem like a completely different person. Not only that, but the power radiated from his body was unlike anything he had revealed before.

“What happened to John?” In the stands, Miko also looked at John with wide eyes.

Ryan looked at John and nodded in agreement. “It seems he finally got serious. He used this technique to fight me earlier, and was able to defeat me with it.”

“Barden, what happened?” Cade Fenix could not help but ask. Orenn and Rodi Fenix also had the same question.

Barden was also quite surprised, but not as much as the others. He knew John had a unique cultivation system and a powerful body, but this was the first time he had truly sensed that power, as well as the intense battle aura John emitted. He could sense the powerful blood n*fsu and battle desire in his aura,

Barden quickly regains his wits and responds to the group. “I'll explain it to you and everyone after the fight, because I'm sure there will be questions from many people around.”

Back on the stage, John channeled his body Qi into his body without any technique. Although it was the simplest version to strengthen himself, the power exerted on his body was still quite strong, and the aura released was enough to shock anyone. That aura combined the intense battle n*fsu and the willpower that John had obtained with the evil nature of the Qi body he was using. The three aspects mixed into one, and made anyone watching John feel that they were looking at the bloodthirsty battle demon.

Roy notices that he subconsciously took a few steps back before he stopped himself. He calmed himself down and took a deep breath, at that moment he steadied his sword in front of him and strengthened his nerves.

“It looks like you are still holding back in your first fight.” Roy knew that John was most likely even stronger than him now.

“That's what I did. Let's end this, okay?” Although this state was strong, John did not want to use it for too long, as John's Dantian body could only be replenished by absorbing the blood essence of an animal or a human.

Through trial and error, John had discovered that the blood essence of a beast was far less effective than the blood essence of a human to increase its cultivation, but in terms of replenishing the lost Qi reserves, it was not, it was as effective as the human blood essence. Thus, John had stored many corpses of Mist Creation beasts in his palace realm, and had collected blood essence into many different barrels to store. John had discovered that he could actually directly absorb the blood essence into his Dantian body from the palace realm, so that he could replenish his lost reserves even while fighting, so that he could replenish his dantian realm, like a normal cultivator who filled their reserves by absorbing Qi from the air around them.

However, John had limited beast blood essence, and he did not want to run out before the tournament ended. If he did, he wouldn't be able to use his body's Qi to empower his attacks, which would make him disadvantaged.

The Five Step Movement Technique!

John combined the strength of his body and the first step of the Five Step Movement Technique to immediately appear in front of Roy with his scythe slicing towards Roy's body. Roy was in the process of thinking about a battle plan, when John suddenly appeared before him.

“Too fast!” Roy thought as he desperately raised his sword and attacked with the strongest attack he could muster.

Bang out!

Roy was immediately thrown backwards, but managed to keep his balance and landed on his feet. John once again ran towards him, but chose not to use the second step of his movement technique. This technique became predictable the more he used it, and he did not want to give his opponent a good chance in the future to read the technique. Others who witness this technique can tell that there are limits on each step, such as direction and distance, and they can take advantage of these limits.

The Art of Splitting the Sword!

John narrowed his eyes as he stared at the approaching attack.

‘Although I would not die if I received this attack directly with my body, it would still injure me, and I was unable to receive any injuries at the start of this tournament.’

John decided not to make a direct attack, and quickly ran to the side, dodging the attack. John could have blocked the attack with his scythe, but he would have been beaten back a little, where Roy would have taken the initiative in the fight.

John once again ran towards Roy, but put more power to his feet as he ran from side to side while approaching Roy, dodging any Qi attacks Roy sent towards him. The stone stage behind John was continuously sliced by Roy's attack, displaying his sharpness and attack power.

“Dirt!” Roy exclaimed as John managed to get into close range once again.

Bang out!

John attacked with his scythe once more, with a force greater than before. Roy manages to raise his sword just in time to fend off, but is sent flying backwards harder than the first time.

“Why is the sickle so heavy?” Roy could not help but notice that John's scythe was heavier than his own sword. The sickle user is usually known for his light and nimble attacks, but John is just the opposite. Not only was his scythe extremely heavy, the weight and power behind his attack made Roy feel like he was fighting against a great sword user instead of a sickle user.

John immediately took advantage of his attack by closing the distance with the first step of his movement technique and appeared in front of Roy once again. His scythe fell again, and Roy once again raised his sword to fend it off.

The peng!

Roy manages to fend off John's attack, and even manages to survive in this exchange. John and Roy's weapons are locked together as they stare at each other. As Roy tries to figure out how to turn things around, John releases the scythe with his left hand and sends a powerful punch to Roy's ribs.

“Gah!”

Roy was thrown backwards like a kite, and he toppled over several times before finally stopping. Even though he had received quite a bit of damage from the blow, Roy still managed to maintain his consciousness, and even stood as fast as he could to continue fighting.

“Reden!”

As Roy stood up, he realized John's fist was clenched right in front of his face. If John wanted to, he could finish his punch there and end the fight, but it would hurt Roy. John has a good impression of Roy, and feels no need to hurt him excessively.

Roy gritted his teeth before replying. “I acknowledge.”
