Ascension Of The Immortal Asura-Novel

"Parker, what the fuck are you doing?" John yelled out in confusion and rage.

His Qi Condensation cousin showing up should have been a good thing. John was confident that with his and Parker's power, they both would be able to escape, but Parker had attacked him instead. Parker looked at John in disdain and ignored him.

The Crimson Valley Sect group was surprised at John being blocked and knocked back towards them, but they wasted no time in surrounding John once more.

"What's going on here? Why are you helping us? And how did you find us out here?" Jason turned to the approaching Parker and asked. Parker's strength was enough to cause serious problems here, and he didn't know if this was some kind of ruse the two had cooked up.

When Parker was ten yards from the group, he stopped and addressed Jason. "I happened to see your group walking inside the forest, so I figured I'd follow you. Seems like it was worth following you after all."

"You were following us?" Jason asked in surprise. He had no idea that they were being followed. "Clearly you have some skill to be able to follow us without being detected. What do you want?"

"I heard the entire conversation you two had. It seems like you're from some power in the Holy Lands….I want to join you."

Everyone present showed surprise at Parker's sudden request, while John's rage was ignited even further.

"Parker, you're going to betray your own family like that?"

Parker looked dismissively at John and sneered but didn't respond. He turned back to Jason.

"I want to join. Is that possible?" Parker asked once again.

Jason thought about it for a moment and came to the conclusion that this isn't some sort of ruse the two had cooked up.

"Why do you want to join us?" Jason asked, probing Parker's intentions.

"Strength is everything, and I can only obtain absolute strength in the Holy Lands. It's that simple," Parker responded, his eyes resolute.

Jason thought about it for a moment. Joining his sect wasn't such a simple matter.

"It's not impossible. You showed some talent following us here and in the tournament against me, but the most important thing is your attitude. It aligns perfectly with our sect's view of cultivation. Power is absolute, no matter the means of obtaining it. However, once you join our sect, you must forsake your clan. Are you willing to do that?"

"I am," Parker responded with no hesitation.

A large smile broke out on Jason's face. "Good, then help us take care of this little problem here, and I'll make sure you're able to enter our sect."

Parker nodded his head in agreement before joining the encirclement of John.

John had been listening the entire time, but was trying to think of a way out. However, Parker's complete betrayal squashed any hopes of that. His first escape had been because of his Mist Creation enemies, as well as catching the group by surprise.

That wouldn't happen again, and the group's power increased with Parker joining. John knew it was almost completely impossible to escape.

"You know, I had always thought that despite being an asshole, you had some redeemable qualities, Parker. I guess I was wrong. It's really hard not to look down on you, as your masters will look down on you soon," John said, his mocking tone clear for all.

"A dead person shouldn't be talking so much. You really thought you were hot shit when you were able to cultivate, but to me you're still nothing but an ant," responded Parker in an equally mocking tone.

"Die!"

John shouted out and dashed directly towards Parker, looking like a madman who had lost his mind. The group of Crimson Valley Sect boys watched in amusement as John attacked Parker.

Boom!

Scythe and sword collided, and neither party was able to knock back the other. John repeatedly struck out with his scythe, like he had gone insane with rage. Parker's eyes widened slightly in surprise as John quickly dashed behind him with his movement technique, aiming to strike his back.

"You really do have some skill, but it's still useless. Die!" Parker turned and struck out at John with his strongest attack.

Bang!

A small smile crept up on John's face as he blocked the attack but did nothing to slow his momentum. His body flew backwards rapidly towards the treeline. Both Parker and the Crimson Valley Sect boys quickly understood John's actions.

"Shit, we got careless again. After him!" yelled one of the boys as they started to dash towards John, but quickly stopped. John smiled, thinking his scheme had worked and quickly turned around, but his eyes widened in shock as he raised his scythe as fast as possible.

Bang!

A strong attack landed on John's scythe, and his hasty defense made him be knocked back nearly one hundred yards. Jason's sword was raised as he stared at John with a smile.

"Do you really think I'd fall for your schemes twice in a row. It almost had me fooled, thinking you had gone mad in attacking Parker, but even so, I made sure to be on my guard."

'Shit, that was really my last opportunity,' thought John as he wiped the blood from his lips. That attack had done some damage due to his hasty defense.

John found himself once again encircled with the chasm directly behind him, and this time, each boy had their battle state at their peaks, ready to lash out with their strongest moves at a moments notice.

"Where are you going to run to now? This has been fun, but we're wasting valuable time here. You can die now!" Jason said in a nonchalant tone as he struck out with his strongest attack. The other boys followed suit, and John found himself facing directly against four incredibly strong Qi Condensation attacks travelling directly towards him.

'Even with my body, I would die taking all of these attacks head on.'

John grit his teeth as he made up his mind. A small smile crept up on his face as he jumped with all his might backwards, soaring up into the air directly over the chasm.

"Wash your necks for me and wait for your deaths," John said as he fell over the chasm. His small confident smile, even in the face of death, sent a chill down their spines.

His eyes were locked with Parker's as he fell down, eventually out of the view of the group and into the dark chasm below.
