The last Asura Sovereign

After Radha had incorporated this technique into sword attack, she taught this move to the Battle hall members and also taught Punya this move. For battle cultivators, entry into martial techniques was easy, the difficult part was mastering these techniques. The first move of the spirit halberd technique although less effective than the heavenly halberd technique was a legitimate spirit grade technique, a rarity in the Emerald kingdom and this technique was not at a low tier.

As Punya used his sword technique incorporated by the spirit halberd technique, its lethality went up more than a notch. Among the six variations of the first move of the spirit halberd technique, Punya could easily incorporate four moves on the sword technique, the remaining two were somewhat difficult for him but that was enough for this battle.

If the clan had good halberd and they had enough time, Punya was confident he would have been able to achieve certain success in the spirit halberd technique. The moment Punya used this technique, the crimson-hued flame wall broke down due to the attacks from the remaining cultivators. They were holding back because they felt a threat from the flame wall but they realized the threat was only small so they used their skill and the crimson-hued flame wall couldn’t hold onto much longer.

The wall collapsed and the flames began to scatter. Kumari hurriedly called back the flames into her cauldron to minimize the backlash. As the flame wall collapsed, the remaining cultivators came near Yan Ming in an instant but Punya’s attack had already reached him. When the cultivators were about two meters away from Yan Ming, they started attacking the sword in Punya’s hand to deflect the attack but the moves incorporated with the spirit halberd technique were interchangeable. The moment the remaining cultivators attacked towards Punya’s sword, the sword had already severed Yan Ming’s head.

He didn’t have time to put other expressions like surprise or shock before the severed head had a look of utter terror etched on as an expression. When the flame wall broke, Yan Ming had a tiny hope that the cultivators would be able to protect him or at least he would be able to survive even if the injury was severe. But the moment the flame wall broke and cultivators neared him he was dead. If it was just his heart or another vital organ, he may be able to survive for a few seconds but with his head gone, there was no way to heal. Although the vitality in his body hadn’t dissipated in an instant, there was nothing left to do.

If he was a golden core formation realm cultivator or Indigo soul realm cultivator, he would have a little bit of hope of running away with just his soul with little luck but in the violet soul realm, there was no such chance unless you got heaven defying soul treasure. And how would the small clan from nowhere have luck in possessing such treasure? Seeing his father dead, the clan leader of the Ming clan, Liu Ming was enraged.

This was the supreme elder of the clan and his father. Even if they won this war, the Ming clan would be a little weaker than the Visigoth clan, and just like with the Rijal clan, they would be in second place. After all that planning and scheming, to be in the second place the bystanders would laugh in their faces. The historians would make a joke out of them. The bards would sing the songs belittling their feats. The Ming clan leader Liu Ming rushed out and grabbed the severed head of his father hoping there would be little life left on his face. The expression on the face of Yan Ming was still covered in horror.

Liu Ming looked at Punya with hatred-filled eyes. His eyes were turning red and putting down the head of his father he started launching attacks. The attacks from the cultivators before were not that strong as they were only trying to deflect the sword so as not to accidentally attack Yan Ming. Liu Ming circulated his cultivation technique and used a soul attack on Punya. At that moment, the remaining cultivators also started to circulate their cultivation techniques and their martial arts. The moment Liu Ming used the soul attack technique, Kumari dashed in front of Punya with her cauldron spewing crimson-hued flame.

Although the Rijal clan didn’t have strong soul techniques, Kumari being an expert alchemist, had her soul tempered many times and since she had started using the crimson-hued flame for refining pills, her soul power was increasing in purity and strength rapidly. The soul attack was blocked by the cauldron full of fire and Liu Ming suffered minor backlash. At this moment, the attack from other cultivators arrived near Punya.

The two from the Visigoth clan were body refining experts so their long-range attacks were limited but from the cultivators of the Thapa clan, few sword slashes had arrived before Punya. Punya was still using the sword technique imbued with the spirit halberd technique and he was rapidly deflecting the sword slashes. Being a battle cultivator, his reaction and strength were not something few of the same realm could compare. The higher the realm, the stronger the difference between the battle cultivator and the other cultivator becomes.

Although Punya was not confident in killing all of them, he was still confident in defending their attacks. But long drawn battle would not favor him as he would run out of qi eventually. Seeing their attacks deflected so easily the Thapa clan cultivators couldn’t help but look at Liu Ming because from previous intel, the Rijal clan leader although a battle cultivator was injured and only at the 8th stage of the foundation building realm.

This was why they thought just ten of them would be enough even if someone from their clan helped Punya. But looking at his realm, Punya was clearly at the 9th stage of the foundation building realm and he didn’t look injured. But Liu Ming was in no mood to indulge the Thapa clan cultivators. The situation has changed, even if they won the war, the strength of the Ming clan would halve and may take decades to recover. If they had known about Punya, the first to take caution would be the Ming clan.

The Thapa clan cultivators looked at Punya and charged their swords with qi once again. It didn’t matter if Punya was at the 9th stage of the foundation building realm, they had their trump cards and if one or two cultivators could hold off Kumari for a few minutes, they were confident in finishing Punya within that time frame. As for the death of Yan Ming, what has that to do with the Thapa clan? He would have been of some help but that was it, everyone outside of the Thapa clan was disposable.
