Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 534 - 534: Show of Power

It was the severely rough treatment that made the ‘Great Ones’ fall silent on their places, watching seven of their own, all of them at the higher part of their power, got easily handled by a single individual, a lady of the vampire race using not her blood techniques, but rather, her fist, to suppress every single person fighting against her.
The beginning of this rough treatment starts from moments ago, with Liliana appearing right in front of Lyria, freezing the duchess’ heir solid in her place as the young earl drives her fist towards the face, an action completely cold and heartless considering the fact that, as a fellow noble lady, she herself knows how important one’s face can be.
Of course, that doesn’t seem to be of any concern to her as her clenched fist brutally connects on her opponent’s nose bridge, the impact, no matter how severe it might be, wasn’t witnessed by anyone but herself and her teacher, as the force of her offensive made it so that the body of her enemy plummeted down the sky just right after the moment of impact.
And with that, one person was dealt with as their body came crashing down the ground, forming a crater of impact telling anyone just how hard and powerful that fist was, the residual energy of the young vampire earl’s attack still lingering in the air, invoking a feeling of pure, immeasurable power that made every single person wonder just how can someone change that much in such a short amount of time.
Everyone except one vampire-like young man, that is, the figure standing in the same location he was at from when the fight began, the immortal-like air around him telling anyone whose attention was pulled towards his being, the fact that he is anything but normal.
“She’s enjoying it quite a lot,” said the young man, muttering to himself rather than staring up to watch the fight above, he expands his senses, covering the entire area and providing him with a view so much better than just watching with his eyes alone.
The presence of his senses, despite covering each and every single one of them, completely eludes the senses of the members of the group of Great Ones, each of them oblivious to the fact that with just a thought, the young man watching on the ground can just erase their existence in a moment through his soul power, crushing them into dust.
Fortunately for them, right now, there’s not a single trace of such intent floating in the mind of this immortal-like young man, as all his attention is on the lady who is his student, watching how she fights and taking mental notes on the things they can improve on after this battle of hers.
Fist, techniques, magic and cold weapons continues to hit each other as the fight continues, fiercer than before as the fighters realized that this vampire earl is anything but ordinary, the fact that she just so easily handled one of their most powerful members, whether it is through sheer dumb luck or true combat prowess, a fact that made them wary of her presence.
With each exchange, the group fighting against Liliana realizes more and more that prolonging the fight will only be detrimental to them, their heads being exhausted as time goes by with the continuous manipulation of mana around them, while the vampire fighting against them doesn’t seem to feel that tired at all.
It was only moments that passed before Liliana’s fist connects to a target’s face once again, this time someone with long, pointy ears, said individual’s face displaying an expression of pure terror as he realized way too late that their enemy is already in front of him, not even a sound escaping from his mouth before he plummeted to the ground the same way the vampire duchess’ heir does previously.
“What? Scared? You’re searching for my bravado right, here’s mine, where’s yours?” as she withdraws the fist, now bloodied as it tore through her opponent’s cheeks, Liliana asked with a maniacal smile on her gorgeous face, the crimson ruby pupils shining in murderous light as she observes her opponents taking steps away from her, this steps backwards being more prominent as she approaches their figures.
“Don’t be scared!! Continue pressuring her!!”
“That’s right, there’s no way she wouldn’t be tired after fighting us!! She’s likely just keeping a strong front to scare us!!”
“Fuck!! She’s so arrogant, let’s teach her a lesson!!”
Snapping themselves from the grasp of fear as they look at the violent expression on the vampire lady’s face, the remaining five combatants of the group of Great Ones spoke, encouraging each other as they shout loud, louder than ever before, and yet despite their attempt to encourage each other, the unmistakable trace of fear and worry creeping in their voice is apparent enough for everyone to hear.
One must give respect where respect is due, though, as even amidst the terror that threatens to engulf their being, two among these five maintain themselves despite their shivering body, refusing to take another step back anymore as they steeled themselves to meet Liliana’s offense.
“Teach this lesson this, teach this lesson that, don’t you people have any better thing to say?” feeling quite annoyed already, Liliana then took a step, her speed making it appear like she disappears from her previous position only for her to appear at the opposite side of the fight, right in front of the three individuals trying to stay as far away from her as possible.
“Ru—” with her sudden, unannounced arrival right in front of them, the minds, or rather, the instincts of these three scream to them the danger they are currently in, causing them to open their mouth and shout and panic, only for their words to be cut short as they all plummeted to the earth as well.
“Three… three in a single burst of attack…”
“M-monster…”
“H-how??”
Watching from the distance, the rest of the Great Ones, the ones who initially thought they are unfortunate, and right now, fortunate enough not to be part of this punishing group, utters incoherent questions of confusion as they watch the members of their group, powerful ones at that, fall one by one, each due to a single punch from the vampire earl that is only supposed to be a source of short entertainment for them.
Detecting their gazes, Liliana directs her attention towards the audience, seemingly moving away from her as well, a brief, violent smile flashing on her face as she takes a good moment to look at them, some of the weaker ones already trembling from her gaze alone.
“Stop ignoring us while fighting!!”
“Your back is open, fool!!”
While she observes the audience, taking in their expression, she is interrupted from her fun time as she hears two voices approaching her from a distance, both of them seemingly celebrating as they proceed to swing cold weapons towards her.
“Weak,” she mutters as she swung her hand, now in an open palm, towards the two of them, shoving both weapons to her side, a moment later being completely shattered before even the two of them plummets down the ground, an attack hitting them straight in their faces as well.
