3 Lotus Form (1/2)

”GRRR!” The Blue Demon roared as an icy mist radiated from it. The surroundings of the mountain started to die from the freezing mist.

The Beast opened its mouth and shout out a piercing icy beam at Ye Yuyan. Ye Yuyan seeing the beam coming closer rapidly raised his dagger and sliced vertically. The icy beam seemed to be sliced from afar as it went past Ye Yuyan in two different directions.

On Ye Yuyan's dagger was a little bit of frost but only on the tip. Ye Yuyan furrowed his brows as he noticed the frost.

'Illathar, Evil Form: Abyssal Minotaur, Slaughter Qi: Frost, Origin Force: Mid Ranked Fiend.' Ye Yuyan analyzed from the frost on his dagger. The dagger runes started to shine and the frost dissolved entirely.

In this world, there exist myriad paths of cultivation. One such path with the fiendish path it like many other paths is a triple fold path. One cultivates the body through their innate evil form, they cultivate their magic through their slaughter qi, and they cultivate their origin force through authority.

Each path has different requirements and ultimately grants different powers. Humans have access to some of these paths and a few of their own. But the mixing of various paths is quite dangerous unless one is a special existence.

”Damn exorcist! Where is my offering?” Illathar growled as his blue fur seemed to stand up.

”Do you mean this?” Ye Yuyan said as he removed a scroll on it was an old tree stump.

With the sight of the scroll, Illathar's body shook with rage. It knew exactly what Ye Yuyan had done to Li Nan.

”Kill my hell warriors!” Illathar commanded instantly the hundred shadow warriors cloaked in black flames turned their attention towards Ye Yuyan. They rushed out of the village at high speeds and in moments they approached the cave Ye Yuyan was waiting at.

Ye Yuyan's eyes narrowed into intense blood red slits as the Hell warriors approached. He jumped forward with his dagger as a warrior approached. It reached out with its claws inundated with black flames.

Ye Yuyan's dagger shined with white light and runes and he slashed down on the claw. The black flames extinguished as he cut off the claw. Then with one swift motion, he decapitated the hell warrior.

He moved to the next one, this one held a blade made from the black flames. The hell warrior sliced down at Ye Yuyan's incoming dagger.

Ye Yuyan sliced the flame blade then turned and kicked the warrior. Then proceeding to stab it in the throat. With increasing speed, he cut down more hell warriors while also descending the mountain.

As he neared the bottom of the mountain, he was cornered by a squadron of 12 hell warriors. They screeched as they each formed various weapons from the black flames.

A giant ax-wielding hell warrior slashed down on Ye Yuyan as he approached the village. Ye Yuyan was quick to dodge as the ground exploded into black embers. Then as he dodged back he noticed 6 incoming arrows. He spun his dagger in a swift motion cutting all the arrows while retreating.

'A squadron of hell warriors.' Ye Yuyan thought as he looked around trying to determine the formation.

'6 arrows, they have 6 longbow users.' Ye Yuyan introspective as he looked around and noticed the 6 longbow users hidden in the trees. He looked in front of him and saw 4 long swords users hiding behind the 2 ax-wielding warriors.

”I don't have the time for this…. I need to end this quick.” Ye Yuyan said as he gritted his teeth. He took his dagger and stabbed it into his shoulder until it was fully inside his shoulder. His blood dripped out onto the grass like morning dew.

His already bloody eyes seemed to become demonic and a powerful bloodlust came from his body. It completely eclipsed the bloodlust of the hell warriors. Ye Yuyan ripped out the dagger and it started to elongate.

The dagger became a very long dual edged katana. He raised it and pointed it towards the squadron. The moonlight shimmered off the blade like a holy light. The sword seemed to howl with a murderous lust.

”By my blood, Ye of the bloodline; Lotus Form: Blooming!” Ye Yuyan chanted as he swung his sword in a crescent cut.

Along the path of his sword was a red line which started to expand. It seemed like a whole new world was cut open, it was a blood red world of slaughter. Everything around him started to collapse and every shadow warrior disintegrated.

Everything within 30 meters of Ye Yuyan was annihilated. Illathar's gaze turned onto the red singularity and then he saw Ye Yuyan.

He was wielding a blood red katana, his eyes were filled with intense malice, and blooming behind him was a blood red lotus. The lotus was partially opened and coiled around the stamen of the lotus was a black viper inundated with black flames.

”You…. what are you?” Illathar asked in complete and utter terror. He had recognized that lotus.

Ye Yuyan gripped his sword harder as he got into a fighting stance. He raised his blade as the lotus behind him released a massive amount of red fog.
