Chapter 163: Sect Leader Allfiend
“Sect Leader Allfiend, it’s been some time since we’ve last seen each other,” The Heavenly Lightning Sect Leader said as he casually walked towards the ethereal soul form. The Sect Leader waved his hand, and the entire crowd suddenly felt the painful energy invading their souls disappear.
“Sect Leader ThunderZen,” the soul form greeted in return with a calm expression as well.
‘Allfiend? ThunderZen? What type of names are these?’ John thought as he curiously watched what was going on.
The Heavenly Lightning Sect Leader, who was addressed as ThunderZen, walked forward until he stood a few feet in front of the floating soul form.
The soul form was still quite ethereal and hazy, but John was able to make out several features. It was a middle aged man, with sharp features, hawk like eyes, and a slender beard that gathered into a sharp point below his chin.. His hair was long and flowed behind his shoulders, and his eyes glowed in a sinister fashion, like that of a snake looking at its prey.
“I knew your sect would try something like this again, but it’s quite unexpected that you yourself are the one doing it. You were even willing to sacrifice a small portion of your soul to attempt this. Aren’t you worried about the damage your soul will take once I snuff you out?” ThunderZen asked calmly.
“Hahaha,” Allfiend laughed for a moment before responding. “While it is a bit troublesome to lose part of my soul, I have methods to make it whole again quickly. Besides, are you so sure that you are able to contain me here and now?”
Sect Leader ThunderZen smiled at the soul form, as if everything was under his control. “Unfortunately for you, you won’t be able to leave here today.”
“Is that so? It’s true that this soul form is only a fraction of my full power, but it should still be more than enough to slip away from the likes of you,” Allfiend replied in a relaxed tone. Now that he was caught by the Heavenly Lightning Dragon, Allfiend had no hopes of slipping into the Sect undetected, and instead focused on leaving the sect.
His soul form suddenly flared with incredible power, and Allfiend began to fade out of existence, as if it was phasing into space itself. John felt his blood nearly stop in his body from the overwhelming power, and it seemed as if space itself was under the control of Allfiend’s power. Space began to twist and turn around Allfiend’s form.
Sect Leader ThunderZen smiled as he watched Allfiend’s soul form start to fade. He casually raised his hand and pointed a single finger at the fading soul form of Sect Leader Allfiend.
Boom!
Lightning crackled on his finger for a single moment before it shot out towards Allfiend. John’s breath caught in his throat as he witnessed the attack. It’s power and profundity was more incredible than any attack he had ever seen, and it reached Allfiend’s soul form so quickly that John was unable to see it travel at all.
The beam of lightning pierced directly through Allfiend’s soul form, causing him to scream out in pain. Allfiend’s body was almost imperceivable by the time the lightning struck it, but it quickly rematerialized after being struck.
A pained and shocked expression hung on Allfiends face as he phased back into existence. A large hole was pierced directly through his soul form, and he seemed to be on the verge of collapse after taking that attack.
“Your cultivation…how is this possible?” Allfiend asked in a shocked tone.
“That’s not something you need to know,” ThunderZen replied calmly before waving his hand once more. A strange power emanated from ThunderZen and washed over Allfiend’s soul form.
“Noooo-” Allfiends soul form was on the verge of collapse, and the wave of ThunderZen’s hand completely snuffed it out of existence, silencing his cries of disbelief.
The crowd started with wide eyes at everything that had just happened, John included. He was able to piece together the small amount of information he had to get a rough idea of what had just taken place, but the events, as well as overwhelming power that was just displayed, shocked him to his core.
He wanted to ask questions about what had just happened, but he knew now was not the time for that.
‘Elder Ragur most likely knows what exactly just took place. I’ll ask him once this entrance exam is completely over.’
Sect Leader ThunderZen’s eyes lingered on the spot where Allfiend’s figure had been for a moment, before he casually glanced at the nearby boy. Fear covered the boy’s face, and he had dropped to his knees in fright.
“I…I had no idea, please, you have to believe me,” the boy managed to barely cry out.
ThunderZens eyes softened slightly, and he stared at the boy. He turned around to stare at the dragon that was still perched up on the roof. Although John was unsure of exactly how, he was sure that the two of them were communicating directly with each other.
“Why waste time on such a thing? Spies and traitors are to be given no mercy” A cold voice sounded out behind ThunderZen, and all eyes turned to look at the woman who had just spoken. She still stood at the top of the palace stairs, looking down at the boy in the courtyard below.
The Vice Sect Leader, who John had seen at the very start of the entrance exam, waved her hand towards the boy. An incredible power washed over him, and his eyes widened in fear before his body instantly disintegrated into nothingness.
