Alex empowered the one strike with all he had, and more so than most with True Fire Dao.
His sword burned with a heat never before seen in hell. It was a heat he himself had never encountered before. With all the might of his Intent poured into his Dao, condensed to a line no thicker than a strand of hair, Alex slashed at the sect leader.
True Immolation Strike.
His sword cut the sect leader through the shoulders, cutting diagonally. Fire spawned from the line where the sect leader was cut as he screamed from the pain. He patted himself to put out the flames, even as he was burned.
As he did, he watched in horror as his body slowly slid down diagonally and fell to the ground.
Even as he died, his eyes were wide in both shock and confusion as he could not tell what had just happened.
The world around Alex went silent as not even the wind made a noise. Each eye in the surroundings was focused on him as he turned around and looked at the others that were attacking him.
