**Blood Slashes Form 4**

*He was ontop of asius once the boy stood up which was fast, he swung his sword it would connect with yenios blade his sword began to bleed tears as if it was crying blood over the ground with each drip it was as if it was sobbing, as his sword was about to collide with yenios*
Jorge
*Saw his qi slashes barreling down towards the man being blocked parried as the man flew up towards him, he realized he may have been to aggressive here, it was also his kryptonite when he sparred with his father he was hyper aggressive, he felt a weight hit the top of his head it burned like fire no worse, then his back being sliced open at the same time it made him tense up soon he hit the earth being pummeled into the earth by the weight of what felt like extremely thick and heavy water he grabbed the ground and rubble around him gritting his teeth in pain as he struggled to get up he cried out in pain as this one hurt, and it hurt a lot, not because of it hitting his flesh but because it hit his open wounds, closing his eyes to avoid it getting burned the moment it stopped he shifted into his feet imbuing qi into his legs standing up whipping blood off his eyes as steam came from the blood*

`"It burns it burns!"`

*He swiped it off quickly raising his sword it started to burn his eyes as he used his hands to wipe it off but his whole body was drenched in this blood*

**Plum Blossom Guiding Blossom**

*He shifted into a neutral position envisioning a bubble around him as he fixed his stance, he could see the man barely as his vision was blurry but well enough his eyes following the mans blade listening to the wind of the blade as he couldn't hide that and countered the blade and slashed down sliding across the mans blade to cut the mans thigh but he felt a slash cut him, asius blade had the blood blade infront of it 3 feet long and paper thin it cut his chest he blocked another sword strike to his waist he was sliced on his waist by the blood blade*

**Plum Blossom Road**

*He imbued qi into his legs and sword thrusting forward towards the mans stomach he felt his sword being pushed and guided away it went straight through the mans shoulder the man was fast enough to prevent it from going through his stomach or chest but he still caught his shoulder*

*Felt another slash hit him as his sword was going through the mans chest he forgot the mans slashes could still land he felt another slash hit his collar down his right side blood leaking from his body he imbued qi into his legs pulling his sword out jumping back 100 meters for distance panting out of breath and getting tired for some reason feeling very minor fatigue. The mans slashes had a passive effect to cause fatigue with every slash that landed*
Maria
`"Are you saying that the boy just took whatever he learned from Wei and taught himself everything that he is using here?"`

*She asked surprised and intrigued if that was the case yenio was doing absolutely amazing against this man but it evident yenio was struggling greatly when he used his bloodless step it became hard for her to track slightly but as she focused more she could see him slightly clearly but she had to use a great amount of her power*

`"I don't think the man's goal is to gravely harm the boy but i don't know if that's the case I'll kill him before he gets the chance."`

*It didn't matter if yenio instigated she would protect him because he is Weis son and she cares for the boy nonetheless.*
Doris
```"Indeed... But I will watch for now. However, I will step in when it is time. Just a little longer"```

*Elder Guang said, crossing both arms as he watched the two fight. The longer the fight drew on, the sloppier and worse the technique became... As such he watched scratching the bottom of his chin...*

```"Do no worry..."```
Brenda
*Didn't hesitate to continue even though he heard the boys cries that it burned he felt his attacks from his blade being parried but his attacks with the blood blades still landed, he swung his blade from the ground up to switch it as he went up to come up and turn towards the boys neck, however his blade collided with an incoming thrust which he guided it away from his body but it still pierced his left shoulder, his left arm let go of the sword and his sword was now past yenios guard and just over yenios shoulder he stepped with the blade in his shoulder to the right and down swinging his sword across towards the boys chest neck, however the boy jumped back pulling the sword sword out, of his shoulder his blood slash missed as well from his far the big jumped lifting his left arm with struggle it felt weak as blood splattered on the ground after yenio pulled his sword out he lifted his hand and gripped the hilt of his blade he let go with his right hand and took out a black cloth and tied his left hand to the hilt of the blade before placing his right hand back on it as the boy was far enough away it gave him time, by this time yenio would be able to get the blood off his eyes and see properly.*

**Rivers Of Blood Form 3**

*He jumped into the air and forward in a lunge 80 meters towards yenio landing on the ground within a flash swinging his sword from the ground at his right side up to the left then from up down to the left side following up with a thrust and two more slashes. Blood ethereal images looking like him floated as if on air towards yenio with the blade in the configuration he put as the glided towards him once in range each one would swing in the positions they were put*

**Blood Art Flowing Blood **

*He lunged forward behind his ethereal images. His sword had a blood substance comes from the tip of the blade and stays in the air for up to 10 seconds leaving a spectacle of beautiful magic behind it was as if waves of water but blood*

*Was flowing through the air as his blade was trailing behind him and he landed on the ground near yenio swinging his sword towards the boy each slash would have the water like blood trail configure different in the air, this form guided his blade to the weak spots of his opponent which with yenio going to be occupied it might have been the perfect ability he was quick swift didn't miss a beat with a single attack*
Doris
*As he continued to watch, he determined that if they continued, Yenio would be putting himself in danger... Elder Guang sighed. Uncrossing his arms, along with the three elders chose to jump in. With thir combined qi force, they stopped Asius mid attack and even forced him to the ground with their combined pressure. Even forcing Yenio and the others inside to feel the intense pressure. The guards surely would fall to their knees, Orestis it would depend on her will and strength... Then the 3 set a triangle barrier around Asius to stop him. Elder Guang then turned to Yenio and walked over to him*

```"Have you learned?"```
Jorge
*Panted as he used his shirt to wipe off the blood that was on his eyelids and eyebrows but it was hard seeing that it was everywhere but he could now see clearly and would slowly regain his composure but he felt very fatigued and tired he didn't know why he felt his elders pressure and collapsed onto the ground unable to get up no matter how much he tried and how much he willed himself to get up*

`"Elder..."`

*He gritted his teeth and slowly went quiet as he tried to breathe and catch his breath as fear flooded his body*

`"Elders i could have won..."`

*But seeing the stare from the elder hurt him deeply more then any sword could have and he slowly went all the way silent.*
Brenda
*Ethereal images collapsed onto the floor from the elders intense pressure destroying them he coughed blood slightly from all his ethereal images dying so suddenly damage to them was reflected back into him even though it wasn't a lot it was enough to make him cough blood, then the pressure hit him his sword but the ground followed by him falling onto his knees then the ground unable to get up he gritted his teeth coughing as he struggled slightly not knowing what was happening or going on, he was then encased into a triangle barrier this pressure made him lose breath trying to fight it so he thought best to conserve his strength he tried to remove his face mask so he didn't choke or swallow his own blood which was difficult being constricted in movements.*
Maria
*Watched the elders intervene she felt there aura combined hit all at once her guards fell to there knees then the ground she fell to her knees as she struggled to stand it was to much pressure these people were not meant to be challenged or angered she understood now who they were who they truly were in terms of power, what they could do if Wei asked them to do something they would be near unstoppable, she decided to not waste her mana and energy by trying to stand and fight the pressure best to let the elders handle what they need first before doing anything she didn't fully collapse only unable to rise from her knees which her hands on the ground.*
Kimberly
```"Che che che... This brat is a little handful huh? Such mysterious magic with blood, kekeke. Also Old 3rd, why be so hard on Chief Disciple Yenio? He's a young hotblooded boy, let him-"```

*Though as he was about to speak, he felt the intensity of his qi from Elder Guang... His eye widened and chuckled, raising both hands as he knew this is where he needed to stand down*
Doris
```"To risk your life for a duel is not one to fall under. Perhaps you could've, but risking yourself like this is not the way. This is a lesson to you, although your pride and ego is hurt. As a martial artist, you learn to reflect on what you experience. Grow from it, if the young master hadn't learned to accept defeat, he surely would've driven himself to death."```

*Elder Guang sighed, with all three elders releasing their aura... All 3 placing their arms behind their back.*

```"Stand boy... Take one of the pills and get yourself ready to tra-"```

*Before he could finish, he felt an immense flucuation of qi coming from the enlightenment chamber... Though seemingly chaotic and in disorder... Elder Guang then released whom it was... The sharp and strong qi... One of black and white... A powerful and bold existence within the world of cultivation... It seemed that 'his' qi was in qi deviation... One that is not only deadly to him, but endangering all within the sect if not dealt with...*
Fernando
```"Impossible... ELDERS WE NEED TO MOVE NOW"```

*With that the 3 immediately rush off to the area and began to engage to deal with the presence before them*

```"STAY HERE!"```
Jorge
`"Yes elder I will try to be better martial artist for my own sake and those around me..."`

*He went to speak again but as they said if Wei didn't learn to accept defeat he would not be here today he took that to heart but also his pride and ego were surely damaged from this bout even more so then he slowly began to stand up as they released there aura he nodded to go get a pill to heal he had multiple slashes all iver his body that leaked blood his chest down his back his waist his sides even his cheek seeing the elders rush away what would make the elders so worried and rush away so quick he held his wounds with ome arm the imes on his chest as he limped slightly towards where the elders went but stopped short of the door not going any further.*
Brenda
*As he felt the pressure of qi being released he removed the mask around his face and coughing blood on the floor he panted heavily to catch his breath what in all the worlds was that pressure? He felt blood leaking from his shoulder and remained on the ground to rest for a few more moments his head pressed against the floor.*
Maria
*Stood up and spread her wings as she released her mana thinking there was a threat that called all the elders attention as they rushed away she formed 5 magic orbs around herself as well as her magic staff the orbs began to float around the staff as she floated down from her spot to the ground and towards the door where the elders left through preparing herself for whatever would or might come she forgot about the man injured on the floor she snapped her fingers and a qi pill portaled into her hand and she used her magic to bring yenio closer she formed a cup of water infront of her and dropped the pill inside.*

`"Drink little one you will need it."`
Althea
*A loud whistling came from above as they came crashing down... All three skidding across the floor as they tried to regain their balance... With their weapons being used to hold themselves up... All battered, covered in sword wounds, and breathing heavily almost gasping for air... Their qi appeared to be wild and unsettled... As if they had seen something they shouldn't have... But after fighting him, they were able to deduce what happened...*
Doris
"This young master of ours... Truly impressive isn't he huh... Although we aren't intending to kill him, he's able to do this much huh? Ha... I wonder what this kid will be like when he attains the true enlightenment of this stage..."

*The elderly man sighed deeply as he tried to get a breath of air... It was apparent as they struggled... He looked up to the surging sword qi coming from a silhouette engulfed by it...*
Kimberly
"I fucking told you we should've binded him... And I also said that this god damn kid has already surpassed our understanding of Divine Dao...*Coughs out blood* Just cause he is at a lower level in cultivation... That doesn't mean he doesn't amount up to shit!"

*Elder Shen yelled furiously, spitting out the blood aggressively and wiping his mouth clean... This young master of theirs was truly too much for them to handle... He breathed heavily as he grit his teeth looking up at the person above them*
Fernando
*Elder Yu Shen coughed out a large amount of blood as it seemed that he sustained greater wounds than the other two... However their wounds hindered their ability to fight whereas he took great damage... Elder Yu sighed deeply as he couldn't believe this man... To be able to do such things at his age? How jealous elder yu felt, yet so proud and amazed... He was proud to be serving this young master to his dying breath... However, today isn't the day for him or either of them...*

"Tch... The young master really is a peerless talent when it comes to fighting and cultivating... To be able to exploit our weaknesses and taking advantage of his unforeseen fighting way, no wonder we got beaten to a pulp... So shut yer yap you whining drunk!"
Sherry
*Soon before them, the man floated down slowly as the sword qi around began to slowly quell and simmer, though still chaotic from within. It was soon revealed whom it was, however seemingly darker and more colder... His cold and dull eyes scanning those around, the 9 swords floating behind him. The pressure which he emanated before them... The cold and emotionless stare... Deadly and sharp, as although they weren't cut, they could feel the sharpness from around him, like a blade ready to cut*
Maria
*Had her orbs floating around her quietly each orb more powerful then the last she took her time refining the orbs to upgrade them in the past three months, soon they fused into one orb then shattered into pieces as they began to form into her staff and body phasing inside her, she looked at wei floating down before the elders that looked battered and beaten she spread her wings and floated towards him, she came up to him as her staff disappeared into thin air she speaks softly as she noticed his stare no emotion behind it emotionless, it looked like asius eyes when she ssw him fight but these were more menacing she spoke*

`"Brother is that you? What happened to you in seclusion...?"`

*She asked wanting to get answers if the elders were to speak she would ignore them as she would focus on her brother here seeing as the elders were struggling against him it mattered not to what they say at this point and time and they gave wei praise even in this circumstance they found themselves in.*
Brenda
*Had found he feet he looked towards his wounded shoulder and began to wrap bandages around the wound quietly as he walked towards a seat he took one taking out herbs from a small pouch on his hip and began to crush them in his palm then set them down on the the stone beside him using the butt of his sword to grind them once satisfied he took the herbs and started to pack his wound with them on his shoulder and tightened the white bandages over his shoulder down across his side once completely he would put his clothes back on. Seeing a man come down floating from seemingly the sky he watched quietly standing slowly up and sheathing his sword*

**Bloodless Step**

*He activated his power to it's fullest extent become nigh invisible to everything he had managed to learn about the wave lengths of energy from this energy yenio used and used his powers to try to and conceal that energy wave length within himself but it was only very little seeing as he was winging it with no real knowledge on the power the boy wielded.*
Sherry
*Wei Wuxian gave no answer as he simply scanned the area. He tilted his head looking "Confused" However, keeping a straight face as he looked on. When Orestis asked him a question, he gave no answer. But in a moment's notice, he sent a sword flying at Asius, however stopped with Elder Shen's intervention, his sword locked with Wei Wuxian's sword that was controlled by qi... The same happened as he sent yet another sword this time flying at Orestis, however Elder Guang had stopped it... Within his mind he was in a mind scape... A mind scape of an endless battle and struggle between him and to contain his qi...*
Kimberly
"Fucking hell... Got your fucking mind's straight. Any hesitation and you will be cut down by the sharp qi!"

*Elder Shen yelled...*

"Oi kid I heard you have a bad habit of going into hiding like you did just now. Just remember, if you're going to chicken out in front of everyone, you ought to do it when the person who spared you isn't around? Otherwise your a coward yourself"

*Elder Shen simply said before pushing the sword off and trying to keep Wei Wuxian in place, to stall almost. This is where Elder Shen got up in Wei Wuxian's face and they clashed... The swords his Elder Shen's gliding and cutting through the air... Their sword fight was... Complex... Fanciful with beautiful array of crimson qi and black and white qi... Their sword dance went all over the place meanwhile Elder Guang and Elder Yu placed a barrier around the two for now to contain them within*
Doris
*Elder Guang closed his fist tightly as he was angry and disappointed. Not only in himself, but wondered what went wrong during his cultivation path... This is what someone would called an enlightenment stage, but accompanied by qi deviation... Thus unless Wei Wuxian fought until all his qi is depleted or death... Although Wei Wuxian may be their young master, they know not what goes on within his mind or understand what thoughts fill Wei Wuxian's mind... But it was apparent that his mind was no where near being in order...*

"This is truly something... For a grand cultivator like him is struck with qi deviation, only death awaits..."

*Elder Guang sighed shaking his head*
Brenda
*Lunges away in a roll landing and sliding across the ground as he began to run forward he had no intention of fighting whoever that was if he didn't have to not out of cowardice but because it wasn't any of his business but it was made his quarrel when a sword was flung towards him he activated his blood magic as blood flame appeared around his feet and shins and wrists as he became faster for a few moments to come towards wei however as he closed the distance soon a barrier would come down stopping him from progressing any further lowering his sword, he looked at the others quietly.*

`"What is happening? Why was I attacked not once but twice as a guest under your roof?"`
Maria
*Shot a magic barrier Infront of asius as she casted magic her hands becoming engulfed in mana, it wasn't like her brother to attack guests, that was her thing! This knuckle head couldn't take that from her, she began to prepare gravity magic as she released her full night onto wei with every ounce of power she had gravity prison a large wave of gravity in pulsating waved cane down onto wei and it would make it zero gravity in his area, chains all black would try and wrap around his legs to restrain his movements so the gravity can put him towards the earth and stop him from resisting she flew back with her wings, as she formed her magic staff into her palm*

`"I know nothing about what's wrong with you but if I have to beat some sense into you to bring you back I will try."`

*This wasn't her brother in this moment she didn't hesitate to use all her might at the beginning and will continue to use all her might with her next spells she prepared*
Doris
```"This old man apologizes for such things to happen young sir. However, that it is not the intention of doing so. I will take responsibility, but please stand back and stay in the rear..."```

*Elder Guang looked at Orestis, deploying such spells and powers to stop Wei Wuxian... But he knew that wouldn't hold him for long, however, good enough for Elder Shen to swap out with Elder Yu...*

```"Damn..."```

*Elder Guang went over to Orestis and grabbed her shoulder shaking his head towards her. As what she is doing will only get in the way of the Elders' work... As they knew what was happening and what to do thus knew how to handle him... Somewhat although they were struggling...*

```"Stand down... Tell me of the demons that dwell within him... And not literal demons, but his inner demons. Only such thing could drive him so far and to fall within this state. No matter what you tell me, I will not blame nor judge you. As it is a miracle that he hadn't combusted within seclusion."```

*Elder Guang asked so serious... His tone darkened as it was one of inquiry and worry. Unlike his usual gentle and cheery self... He wasn't one to be in such position*
Brenda
*Jumped backwards landing on his feet sliding a bit as he lowered his swords tip to the ground he looked for yenio and watched him just in case he felt like attacking him again, he didn't trust yenio at this point or well anyone in this entire place, so his eyes would be watching everything until the scenario Infront of him died out but he would not be leaving until the threat that attacked him was dealt with.*

`"If the elder says that is the case this young one will wait for the elders further guidance in this matter."`
Sherry
*As he fought with Elder Shen, their attacks were great and seamless, one attack after another... However, with 9 swords and another in hand, it was overwhelming to go against for even Elder Shen, as his objective was to simply guide the energy and help him stable Wei Wuxian's enlightenment... Though Wei Wuxian felt ht gravity increase, with chains encircling his arms and legs trying to cease his movement. However, 3 of the swords simply withdrew and severed the chains from that tried to restrict him. Immediately breaking free and continuing the onslaught against Elder Shen. However, he was caught off guard with a sudden blue stream racing straight at him. Using 4 swords to block the force and impact... Skidding back as Elder Yu switched out and engaged with Wei Wuxian now... The words that Orestis spoke to him didn't reach him... No words, at least right now can reach him*

```"Emotion Severing divine Dao: Soul Render"```

*The black and white qi sdoon spiraled around each sword, as then the ywere sent flying and swinging wildly in wild and unprediactable formations... All intending to confuse and be complex... However the blades were each fiercer... As with a single cut, it would cleave them with ease... Wei Wuxian dived in and rushed at Elder Yu*
Maria
*Flew backwards outside the barrier she didn't know exactly what to do in regards of bringing him back for her it was more simple, but this seemed more difficult she would feel a hand on her shoulder as she turned to face the elder her red colored eyes looked upon him as she would tell him everything they had been through in a summarized version from when they met until now to bring the elders up to speed on what may be the root cause of this perhaps all of it and the stress of everything being on wei's shoulders that he believes needed to become so strong he could protect everyone and everything he loved.*
Doris
```"I see..."```

*Having heard and caught up with everything... He sighed deepl and shook his head... It made sense... His inner demons were of what she basically told him... Regret, guilt, unsatisfaction, worry, anxiety, and the list goes on... He figured that Wei Wuxian had bottled it all up... And at a crucial time only did it break through...*

```"Haish... I often told him, his heart was too kind... He shoulders too much, a weight unbearable by most... Right now, allow us elders to handle fighting him, but you and the Chief disciple's words must reach him, otherwise it will not stop"```
Maria
*Rubs the back of her head nervously as her mana began to dissipate around her she took a deep breath and turned to yenio*

`"I guess it's your time to tell your father your grievances, unfiltered, little one I know you have a lot to say that you couldn't before."`

*She gently rubbed yenios head with a soft smile*

`"I have my own grievances with him but none I'm willing to share here. But I will use my words."`

*She turned to Wei as she spoke softly towards him*

`"Brother come back to us, you don't have to bear the burden of protecting everyone alone I await for you and so does your lover lady senia you cannot abandon her or your little sister, if your goal is the protect us how will you do so if you kill us? How will you protect the ones you love as we love you."` 

*She smiles softly towards him speaking from the heart, what she had to say truly she kept for herself, but everything she said was true*

`"Wei we love you I love you as my brother..."`

*Yenio would express his words to Wei in a more emotional state no tears but of anger with love behind it explaining how he hated how wei didn't show him any attention he was to preoccupied with cultivating his own training and only checking in here and there to see yenios progress it pained him so and he wanted to actually have father and son moments with him but he trained so hard so he could be with wei in battle to do something his Wei did anything to be able to travel with Wei and spend more time with him this was the reason for his training by himself with little to no breaks why he cried when he was angry with Wei it wasn't him acting like a child but more of unable to express his true emotions to Wei*
Doris
*He stood there with both hands out trying his best to sustain the barrier. Elder Shen then jumping back in to aide Elder Yu to stall and buy time for them... Whilst they spoke, he amplified their voices with qi, thus their words were loud and booming into Wei Wuxian's ears...*

"Young Master... How lonely is the path that you take... Please share that burden with us..."

*He thought to himself... He prayed that Yenio and Orestis' presence and words were enough...*
Sherry
*They fought... The sounds of swords clashing fiercely... Ringing throughout inside the barrier... Soon the loud voices of Orestis and Yenio rung throughout... Elder Shen and Yu both chuckled as they were able to get more serious now. Greater sword techniques and powers were now beginning to be used... Within Wei Wuxian's mind, it was an endless struggle. Within darkness, he fought through dark shadowy figures, all aimed to take his life. But he fought endlessly trying to navigate and see the light within the endless abyss of darkness... Though little did he realize whom he was fighting were the elders in the real world... Within his mind scape a midst his enlightenment, darkness had roamed over... Looming and overwhelming as all that was built up progressively had now come to haunt him back... Thus pushing him into a qi deviation state... However a small light peered from the deepest and darkest corner... A small ray of light, accompanied by small whispers of Orestis' and Yenio's words... The movements of Wei Wuxian began to further sharpen and refine itself... However, the intensity had dropped ever so slightly... The Elder grinning wider as it had an effect...*
Maria
*Used magic as she waved at the young ones ears and asius ears so they couldn't hear what she would say next only the elders and Wei could hear what she would say as she took a deep breath to everyone watching but the elders and Wei would see her lips move but no sound escape she felt like she had no choice she could also get it out and hope he may not remember it when he's back* 

`"You know wei... After you denied my hand to court you, you wounded me deeply even more so when you didn't come to check on me not once when I cried for having my heartbroken I know it's not your fault but the least you could have done was come to see me and check if I was ok if I had denied you if you asked for my hand I would have came to check on you, make sure you were ok."`

*She took a deep breath with a slightly shaky voice as she spoke again.*

`"Even though you took piece of my heart and broke it I still love you more then a brother even if it is a one sided love from me looking down from here in the mortal realm and you into the heavens... Or me from the bowels of the underworld looking up to you in the heavens my love will remain the same no matter where you are."`
