Itachi quickly flew back into Venice meeting Xue'er inside the hotel she was staying at and she was understandably quite distraught.

She paced back and forth frost creeping along the floor unnoticed before she immediately jumped up noticing Itachi at the door "What are we going to do?" she spoke nervously quite concerned

"He will be fine, all we got to do is go get him, then we can get revenge on them" he said to calm her down

"Alright" she muttered summoning out her wind wings "It is quite far away, but we should be able to make it in a few hours" she said preparing to take off

I got a quicker way" Itachi said with a sly look moving over to her

"Wait, what are yo- Eeeeeepp!" she yelped as Itachi picked her up in a bridal carry before they disappeared in a Silver flash reappearing 10 miles into the air.

Her warm body was softly pressed against his as a familiar set of purple wings with a 8 meter wingspan spread behind him humming with energy.

"What type of magic is that?" she asked curiously snuggling a bit closer against him deciding she quite liked this spot

"self created lightning magic" he responded to answer her question

While uncommon in the earlier stages, once a mage broke through to Super Tier, it was very common to see them create their own spells and uses of magic. Only weaker Super Tier mages would use the typical uniform starpaths. It was pretty difficult to create a new star path for magic, but it was definitely worth it with abilities that are multiple times more powerful.

It would be somewhat difficult to create new types of magic for his other elements, but ever since he had broken free completely from the use of star paths for lightning, he could manipulate it like it was a part of him. He was looking forward to the fluiditiy that would come from reaching Super Tier in his other elements.

He shot through the air rather comfortably with reduced air resistance using his space element otherwise traveling at such a fast speed would not be pleasant. They moved quickly passing over the middle east and Western part of Asia respectively with little trouble too quick for any aerial monster to attack them.

At one point passing near the Himalayas, a Crimson Wyvern was below which Itachi estimated to be somewhere in the Monarch Rank. Itachi stopped for a moment as the 60 meter long dragon like creature shot towards him teeth flashing menacingly

Itachi only raised his hand as Lightning connected together seemingly like a web of strands containing highly condensed energy. It stranded together in a tight formation as it glowed brighter and brighter by the second, but no energy leaked out making it even more intimidating.

It quickly formed what looked to be like a rocket with a rounded tip as it hovered menacingly above him. With a simple flicking motion, it shot down speeding through the air as it collided with the beast. Almost instantly the proud creature exploded with the air with the explosion being so hot, that the acrid smell of burnt flesh filled the air with little blood flying out since most of it was evaporated.

The rest of it fell to the ground in scattered chunks as Xue'er looked on with a bit of fright "Was that a self created Super Tier attack" she said with a bit of wonder taking in such a strong ability

"Yeah, I figured it out after breaking through" he said with a smile as she lightly punched his chest "You weren't even trying earlier, you just admitted you already had such a strong attack available you idiot" she said a playfully, but there was an underlying sense of sadness in her tone. He seemed to move farther away each day. She already knew he had many abilities he had withheld and she felt like more of a burden to him.

She was snapped out of her thoughts by a soft hand stroking her on the cheek. She looked up to see him gazing into her eyes with a serious look "I will help you get stronger in the future if it bothers you that much" he said before he rested his head on her's breathing in the fragrant scent of her hair "After all, I wuuuuuuvvv you" he said playfully with a content smile as he leaned in proceeding to steal a soft kiss from her lips as he breathed in her scent. She resisted at first but slowly gave in as she wrapped around him even tighter as it became a fierce make-out session as they began battling with their tongues.

His tongue explored her sweet mouth before he slowly pulled it back letting her think she had won as she hurriedly began trying to attack his own mouth. Right after she entered, he began sucking on her tongue as she let out a small moan wrapping her arms around his head pulling him even closer.

Finally he broke away a small trail of saliva connecting the two as he gazed at her with a loving gaze "As much as I hate to say this we should probably go rescue your dad right?" he said with a smirk as the white haired beauty's content facial expression immediately dropped "Shit your right lets go"

She tried to summon wind wings, but she was once again picked up by Itachi as he sped off. *Sigh "I'll let you get away with this you rogue since you are quicker" she said with mock annoyance although her content look in his arms betrayed her true feelings.

They soon arrived at the base of a long sloping hill which eventually led to the top of a near 15,000 foot mountain.

There were many houses and buildings dotting the hillside growing nicer and more expensive as you went up.

Itachi whistled in appreciation "Quite a good place for a clan known for their ice magic" he said eyeing the snowy peak.

His girlfriend didn't seem to be in the mood for humor and she had a deadly look in her eyes.

Her own relatives saw her as nothing more than a tool, so she would respond in kind and kill anyone who stood in her way. She would not hesitate to kill scum like them.

They made their way up the dirt road leading to the gate into the place where two young men stood guard.

As soon as they came into view, one of them pulled out a small charm in a prearranged fashion as he crushed it likely signalling someone.

Sure enough, a few seconds later the gate opened revealing 6 Super tier Mu clan enforcers standing either side proud young man who had a powerful presence along with an older man who seemed to hide near the back.

"Didn't think you would show up so fast" the young guy said with an arrogant smirk folding his arms across his chest

"Mu Baichi, to think your talent is so poor, the Mu clan relies on stealing from others so you are less of a waste" Mu Ning Xue said coldly gazing down at the silk embroidered man. He gave off a solid Super Tier pressure making him the strongest prodigy of the Mu clan meanwhile the 6 guards moved forward circling around the pair to prevent escape.

"Hmmph just give up otherwise your precious father will be tortured to death" he said with an evil look looking over her body "I will spare him if you break your bond with our magic weapon, and become my dao companion" he said quite haughtily while a few of the enforcers starting kissing his ass since he would likely be the future clan head

"Just give up, it is your honor to be with him" said one while a few others nodded in agreement "Yeah your lucky he is so merciful otherwise your sins deserve a thousand deaths" said another

The others seemed to take little notice of Itachi since he hid his aura but the old man hiding near the back regarded him suspiciously 'this youth is he...' he muttered under his breathe as he tried to remember where he had seen this blond haired man before

For the first time, Itachi spoke revealing his Super Tier cultivation base as he spoke with a cold grin "Who said we came here to surrender?" he remarked as the others took notice of him

"Super tier?" He laughed "Is this what your relying on? Judging by your aura you should only be a newbie. Where do you gain the confidence to show up?" He said mockingly

Instead of responding, he simply looked over to his girlfriend "I'm sure you want to have a little fun with him" he said with an evil smirk that she returned following his thought process

"I'll handle the others" he said simply as she called out wind wings before dashing off a few hundred meters.

Immediately, Mu Baichi chased after yelling "your not getting away" before he summoned a crystalline pair of ice wings "I have the unique Ice Phoenix spirit, do you think you can get away from me?" He said arrogantly chasing afterward at a speed roughly similar to hers.

Meanwhile, the guards tried to chase before they were suddenly stopped as a powerful tornado begun to form around Itachi quickly expanding outward blocking them from moving forward

"Watch out!" one of the mages in the encirclement yelled out as they hurried it backed away using different defensive means to block the sharp wind blades that seemed to fill the tornado

"Shit why is this wind tornado so strong?" screamed one light mage who's defensive barriers kept breaking as he got pushed back. Finally an explosion of high tier fire and a fierce gust of wind magic in combination managed to disrupt it as a mage to the left immediately began attempting to cast Super Tier Earth magic.

A grand star constellation began to form around the individual inspiring awe in the distant spectators inside the clan, but Itachi only shook his head in disappointment "Too slow" before the mage could even complete the spell, a deadly bolt of powerful lightning arced from his hand almost instantly arriving in front of his opponent.

In an attempt to save his life, a protective treasure around his neck glowed as 4 water shields lined up formed in an attempt to stop it, but the bold sheared straight through piercing straight through his heart. The startled Super tier mage could only clutch his chest as he gazed at Itachi in horror "How could I die...." he muttered before collapsing face first into the ground

The remaining enforcers gazed at him in horror while one particular man gritted his teeth "I'll cover you, no matter how strong he is, he would be able to stop multiple Super Tier attacks he said as him and another mage immediately began throwing up multiple earth walls and ice defenses forming a small hill between them to provide cover.

Taking the chance, the remaining mages immediately began forming their star constellations in unison. Although they were relatively weak in in their tier, they were still powerhouses at the Super Tier and their strength was not to be underestimated.

After a few seconds, the magic was completed as they grinned in success. With a wave of their hands, the defenses immediately moved to the side revealing Itachi who had made no move to stop them as he stood their lazily.

With grand a grand lightning star constellation around him, one powerful looking middle aged man stepped forward menacingly "surrender if you don't want to die" was all he said as he stared down Itachi

"I should say the same to you" Itachi said with an malicious grin on his face

"Brat,You Asked For It!" he screamed jumping into the air "Divine lightning extermination" he shouted a giant cage of lightning moving to entrap him.

Similarily two other shouts came from those beside him "1000 Heavenly Cuts" and "Water Holocaust!"

1000's of razor sharp wind blades shout towards him covering the sky, while behind it a 100 meter tall Tsunami slammed towards him. Who said water was a weak element? Millions of tons of water were crashing down towards him reaching around 15,000 PSI which can instantly crush steel like a tin can. This destructive ability would sweep away almost anyone, but sadly they chose the wrong opponent.

*Sigh, I Tried to warn them. It will be a good opportunity to test the limits of my chaos element he thought with a red vortex opening in his hand like a miniature black hole. Space seemed to warp as all the magic energy in the surroundings was sucked towards it. The razor sharp wind blades proved to be unable to break through the restrictions and they were sucked away only causing it to shake a little bit. Similarily, the grand cage of lightning tried to surround him, but it was helplessly sucked away as he felt his hold on the magic trembling a bit.

'This will be the test, can my High Tier Chaos magic block three attacks on the lower end of Super Tier' he thought curious to see how it would play out. The wave reached him with most of it shooting directly at him since it was guided by the spell. Water was disappearing at an astonishing rate as it crashed into him, but the Chaotic black and red energy began to fluctuate even more. The chaotic funnel looked like an elephant was rampaging inside slamming against the walls as he became even more hard pressed to store the massive amount of energy.

Finally, his chaos element seemed to almost be completely drained as he held the spinning vortex above his left hand. Although blocking it drained most of his chaotic energy, with his recovery rate it would be no problem. He could already feel th elemental energy surrounding him being sucked in and converted to refill his chaos element.

Pausing for a second, he looked over to see the battle between Xue'er Mu Baichi was still going on, but she looked to have the upper hand. His unique phoenix wings were filled with slashes and cracks while he bled heavily from a deep gash across his shoulder. Meanwhile she looked fine besides looking a little disheveled.

Finally, the elder seeing the situation not looking good, stepped forward releasing a powerful aura of a peak Super Tier mage. "I know who you are now. You are that Mo Fan who almost single handedly won America the world competitions. If you quit interfering, the Mu clan will reward you handsomely, otherwise we will have no choice but to kill you despite the political backlash" he said harshly as he took a few worried glances to the side likely worried about the Mu prodigy getting hurt.

The middle aged man who seemed to be a defacto leader among the remaining enforcers added to it "Why should a prodigy such as you ruin your future siding with a lost cause? Gaining the support of the clan would give you an unlimited future" he said proudly

Itachi slowly looked towards him with lifeless eyes *Crack

"Whats 1000-7" he spoke quite quietly with a calm tone that gave a the man a sense of dread growing in his stomach. After a few seconds of silence, he finally scoffed loudly looking at him with a mocking look "What kind of stupid question is that?" he said laughing before his facial expression suddenly changed "Wait! No! Stop!" he almost screamed seeing Itachi slowly point the surging vortex towards him

"It's Nine Hundred Ninety Three!!!!" he screamed out as every instinct in his being told him he was about to die

"Too late"

The funnel exploded as an endless stretch of magic shot towards them. A surge of lightning, water, and wind slashes shot towards the remaining people in a destructive beam with the power to destroy a small mountain the 5 guards left in the way were directly torn apart with any resistance being instantly crushed. Attempts to create a star constellation were broken and their weak bodies couldn't even take a direct hit from high tier magic, much less a Super Tier attack that was close to approaching the 3rd tier of Super Tier.

Meanwhile, the beam was heading straight for the residences on the mountainside 'I can't let that get past me' the elder thought a bit panicked, but he was no push over. A giant constellation of stars arose around him as the temperature dropped.

"Weeping Snow Lotus" he whispered as the magic formed a delicate icy flower that floated in his hand radiating a chill that seemed as if it could freeze time itself. It floated down in front of the destructive beams attack moving forward as they came into contact.

Almost instantly the entire attack seemed to dissolve as the kinetic energy inside slowed down coming to a standstill. The most of the wind and lightning disappeared, while the gigantic wave of water was completely frozen forming a small glacier at the base of the mountain.

"Not bad, it would be disappointing if the Mu clan's strongest elder couldn't even block one attack" he said with a mocking smile watching the elders face turn even darker "You may have a few tricks, but you are nothing, just a weak little newbie Super Tier mage sticking his nose where it doesn't belong." he responded with a cold look before adding "we have over 50 Super Tier mages and we are the strongest clan in China so I truly question your bravery" he said with a mocking smile

*Sigh he looked meeting the elders eyes with a bit of pity "You may have a army...." he said pausing for a few moments for dramatic effect as the elder tensed up seemingly sensing something was off "But we have a Dragon" he finished with wicked smile as a certain contract summon circle lit up

Hearing that he was a bit nervous, but he gathered his will and his expression turned cold "Hmmph I'll handle your stupi-" that was as far as he got before a black and blue blur shot across the ground. The blur shot past him unable to be followed with the common eye. The only Sign to what had happened was a flying head and a spray of blood in the sky. The poor Mu Clan elder's last thoughts were 'How Could Such A Monster Even Be Tamed?"

.

.

"Brother did I do good?" cutely asked a recently returned Kayda who had immediately switched over to her human form seemingly unconcerned about brutally murdering someone. "Yes of course" he responded patting her head softly before he seemed to realize something as he took a closer look noticing her more mature look as she looked to be around now being reaching 5'1 with a modest chest size. "Ehhhh I see you reached the Emperor Rank" he said with a bit of excitement although his face turned a bit hesitant for certain reasons....

"Yep" she said grabbing his arm and pressing it against her soft chest "It's all thanks to the long and exhausting practice brother has been giving me all night and day" she said wrapping around his arm even tighter as Itachi felt the urge to cough blood. "People will misunderstand if you say something like that in public" he said nervously as he looked around, but it was already too late as he sensed a pair of hostile eyes from behind.

*Sigh He slowly turned around revealing his girlfriend dragging a beaten up bloody body that wretchedly coughed revealing he was indeed still alive. She looked at him with a deadly smile that gave him chills. "ara ara, what is this?"

He hastily put up his hands "It's not what you think, this is actually Kayda, I forgot to tell you, but she can take a human form. Also she was talking about training earlier we did to help get her stronger, tell her Kayda"

The blond turned to face the white haired girl with excited expression "He's right, I am like you now , so I can be with big brother forever!" she proclaimed not really helping the situation much at all while his girlfriend looked even more concerned

"You better not have done anything to her" she said glaring at him before settling her eyes on Kayda who she couldn't help but admit was adorable

She let go of his arm before looking at Mu Ning Xue fiercely "Big Brother would never do anything to hurt me!" she said as her gaze softened

"Alright, fine but I'm watching you" she said giving Itachi a suspicious look before she finally couldn't help it anymore

*Squeal "She IS So Adorable!" she said running over

*Cough "Your father" he said wryly wondering why he was the only one on track

"Shit!" She ran off dragging the bloodied corpse of the strongest Mu clan prodigy in her wake.

_________________

At this point, the entire clan was alerted and the pair flew through the air passing over the small structures. Their clan areas were very large with many of the people not even being directly related. Many talented young mages became affiliated with the clan for resources and benefits while in return, the Mu clan becomes even stronger and more prosperous.

All of it passed by in a flash though as they quickly arrived at the peak where the Grand Council Hall was which was where the elders and other important held meetings along with sentencing criminals.

The people in the courtyard seemed to be in quite a panic as they called out orders to a group of enforcers while one man who gave off a fierce aura was holding onto a ragged man with white hair who Itachi recognized to be Mu Zhuo Yun. He seemed to relatively alright besides a few bruises and a messy appearance

"They Are Here!" one guy screamed as everyone instantly focused on the pair readying their magic, but not yet attacking

The guy holding Xue'ers father fixed his calculating eyes on the pair instantly coming up with a proposal "All of the clans strength is surrounding you, you have no hope to escape. It would be best if you came peacefully" he said rationally before his entire expression changed realizing who they were dragging behind them since he originally didn't notice due to the beaten up state

"What. Have. You. Done. To. Him!" he spoke one word at a time trembling with rage

"Took you quite a while" responded Itachi with a smirk "I guess this is what you call beating up someone so bad their own mother doesn't recognize them? Or in this case it would be the father" he said with a smile knowing that in front of him was the sect master Mu Jiansu

"You..." he said with rage before he calmed down staring at Itachi with hate in his eyes "Give my son back now and I may give you a quick death" he said darkly

"Tsk tsk such a stereotypical line, shouldn't you at least give me a good alternative?" he said playfully looking at the bloodied corpse beside him like it was a new toy "After those words, I'm tempted to just kill him now" he said with a smile enjoying the expression of the infuriated sect master

"What do you want" he said coldly

"See, that's better. I want to do a trade" Itachi said cheerfully gesturing to the father of Xue'er

"I want that man, and in return I will give this sorry excuse of a man back to you"

Hearing this, the sect master gritted his teeth in anger before finally motioning one of his subordinates to bring the man over resulting in one of the black cloaked enforcers picking up the man.

He walked over as everyone around cautiously watched. The sect master watching this added in a venomous tone "You better not go back on your word" to which Itachi only shrugged

Finally he was dropped at their feet before the black cloaked man hurriedly retreated. The sect master watched Itachi suspiciously, but he quickly filled his end of the deal. He levitated the man about a third of the distance to the sect master as he looked around in a righteous manner "I am a man of my word" he said proudly as the man on the ground stirred a bit.

He shakily stood up as the sect master quickly started moving over, but before he could reach him, a powerful bolt of lightning exploded on the man completely vaporizing him

"Wha WHAT!!" he immediately screamed out looking up to see Itachi with a bored expression as lightning danced between his fingers

"Yo-YOU-" he shouted barely able to even talk coherently as Itachi quickly interrupted him "Shameless right?" he said playfully messing with lightning as it circled around his hand "Almost as shameless in kidnapping someone's father when they are away" he said with a smile as a powerful magic energy began to gather around the man as he trembled in rage

"Ohoho, pretty impressive, Half forbidden tier if I'm not mistaken?" Itachi continued uncowed by the massive rage filled pressure that had most of the weaker sect members on their knees unable to move as others trembled

Their were a decent amount of half forbidden mages while few rarely made the leap into Full Forbidden Tier. To reach half forbidden, one had to use all 2401 stars to make a bridge to connect with the star heavens which gave unprecedented control over an element along with a large boost in power. Meanwhile, the only way to become a full forbidden tier mage was to use a Source of the Earth which was almost impossible to find, and strictly regulated.

Instantly a massive surge of Ice power erupted slamming solely on Itachi after Xue'er and Kayda backed up to give him some space. He seemed completely insane as many sect members watching instantly froze as the elders retreated.

He was unable to escape through spatial movement, since it contained some sort of higher yin law of sealing that locked down the area, yet it was no problem as his most powerful element extended across his back as he darted out of the way.

He was hit by the edges of the attacks, but that was nothing to his strong body as he emerged to the side relatively unscathed "Quite powerful, taking a direct hit would probably hurt a bit" he complimented sending the man into even more of a rage at his unability to hit him. Attacks flew left and right for different elements, but Itachi always managed to slip through receiving little more than a scratch or two.

Finally he stopped attacking madly as all that was left was a grim determination "This may kill me, but You have lived long enough" he spoke as a massive amount of magical energy began to gather around him. He seemed to be forcefully strengthening the attack as he looked weaker and weaker by the second. Itachi could feel a massive amount of energy gathering pushing the boundaries as he began to get serious for the first time.

Everything seemed to slow down as the energy itself seemed to be sucked from the air giving the snowy courtyard a creepy vibe. Everyone had long since retreated and Mu Ning Xue was watching from a distance caring for her father along with Kayda who wanted to run out and help before she was finally convinced that Itachi would be fine.

The massive surge of elemental energy gathered above the mans head "Die" he uttered coldly bringing the attack down before he collapsed to the ground panting heavily

It instantly arrived completely surrounding him giving no room for escape. Mu Jiansu watched from the ground looking half dead, but he had a content smile on his face 'At least that bastard is dead' Mu Jiansu though cheerfully watching the most powerful attack he had ever created freezing miles of land after it landed directly on him

*Kaboom

He looked over in shock. The entire spell centered around Itachi's position exploded out with the fierce blizzard that covered the mountain almost instantly evaporating as a evil white flame shot out.

Mu Jiansu watched on in horror as the devil itself walked out of that vortex in an unhurried gait that shook his soul with each footstep. The figure had a lop sided grin speaking words that shook his soul "Not bad, I definitely would have been injured quite a bit if I took that head on." he spoke as the man on the ground began to whimper as the proud sect master looked like a wretched beggar

"Oh come on at least die with dignity" he said with a sadistic grin

Before he could even reply, a strong hand grabbed his forehead with a vice lock as he desperately tried to remove it. The last thing he heard was the cheerful voice turn sinister as it spoke with a cold tone "Burn"

He didn't get a chance to speak. He didn't even get a chance to scream as he was instantly destroyed at a molecular level erasing every trace of his existence from the world forever.

Meanwhile, the devil lowered his hand with a sigh 'I should probably kill everyone near to erase evidence, but it won't really matter, they would piece it together anyway.' he thought knowing he had some stuff to do in the meantime

The flames slowly retracted revealing Itachi who looked a bit ruffled, but unhurt besides some torn clothing. 'At least I'm not naked this time' he thought ruefully since even his specially designed magic resistant clothes couldn't remain undamaged throughout the fight.

He quickly signaled to Xue'er along with Kayda who had finished slaughtering all the clan elders who both looked quite worried "Are you injured at all" Xue'er asked a bit concerned. While she was quite confident in her boyfriend she couldn't help but be scared witnessing that last attack and their were a few bloodstains on his shirt albeit small

"Never better" he responded ripping off his tattered shirt revealing his well toned body 'I do look a little similar to Ban though' he couldn't help but think. Regenerative powers truly are overpowered, although I didn't really take any real damage this battle' he thought before he was pulled back to reality by Xue'er grabbing his hand she blushed a bit at his state of undress, but she was concerned about the witnesses surrounding "What about the witnesses? the Holy Court will have a field day with this" she asked concerned

He waved his hand "They would find some excuse anyway, might as well just get the ball rolling" he spoke confidently which reassured her a bit.

"But, we still could use some extra cards at hand before the conflict" he spoke getting curious looks from the pair "And that's why I got someplace to show you" He spoke mysteriously much to their annoyance

"So where is this mysteriousness place you are going to show us" Xue'er spoke holding back a snide comment since she really wanted to know

"I'll show you"" he said one again picking up Xue'er in a princess carry while Kayda transformed flying behind him

*Sigh "I'm not even surprised anymore" was her only response at this treatment. Mu Zhuo Yun was thrown into his storage space. He should be fine, I put some air in their...

They flew off high in the air while a large black dragon with an electric blue coloring lining her spine and wings followed. After the training they had undergone, she had went to sleep for a while undergoing the evolution signifying her new rank. She had grown quite a bit larger radiating an intimidating aura, but luckily they flew high up in the Stratosphere too far up for anyone to see.

Itachi couldn't help but be excited for the future. After all, a few more elements never hurt anyone.....
