Fenix Branch Establishment

Peng!

A loud metallic sound rang out as John quickly spun around and punched the flat of the dagger, knocking it to the side before it reached his neck. Sparks flew off the weapon from the collision, and the youth quickly jumped back, putting some distance between himself and John.

Those within the chamber had looks of slight surprise on their face, both at how fast John had reacted, and also the sound his barehanded parry had made. Clearly his body was incredibly strong and durable to be able to make such a noise when colliding against a hard weapon.

They could tell he was an essence cultivator, but his body was also incredibly strong, indicating that he was either a dual cultivator, or had an innate variant body.

John frowned as he looked at the youth before him. While he wanted to kill the boy who stood before him, he couldn't take any brash actions at the moment, or he would make things hard for Thunderzen and the sect.
