Chapter 3 - Blood Rain

The face of a smiling man towards the back of the crowd cracks into a frown and he turns on his heel to run away.

"Halt, Demonic Being!" The celestial cultivator releases a type of formless pressure, forcing all the villagers to the ground as he dashes towards the man. He quickly catches the fleeing figure by his neck like one would with a lost puppy. With no hesitation in his movements, the demonic cultivator is slammed face first into the ground, forming a massive crater. Some of the villagers cry out in shock as they fall into the new landmark. The victim of the slam directly passed out from the force of the blow and he is hauled out of the crater by his captor.

Quincy remains laying on the ground, despite the celestial cultivator easing his pressure. All thoughts of his lacking cultivation talent are gone as his eyes stay locked on the celestial cultivator, in awe of his power. The man slowly flies out of the crater with his hand still around the unconscious mans neck.

"This was a cultivator of the demonic path." The celestial said, "He must have been stealing the life energy from those in this village to further his cultivation, otherwise he wouldn't have his current aura. The only reason he remained unnoticed is because this is a village with only mortals and no one had a high enough cultivation to sense him. Luckily I was passing by today. I'll be taking him back to my sect for questioning."

As soon as he finished addressing the village head, the eyes of the man in his grip snap open, glowing bright red. "Fuck you celestial, I wasn't hurting anyone but since you've pushed me to this point I might as well!" A crazed howl echoes through the air as his whole body starts glowing red.

"Shit!" The originally calm and collected face of the celestial crumpled into one of panic as he threw the body of the man towards the ground and flew the opposite direction.

'Boom'

A large muffled explosion sounds off just before the glowing body hit the ground and the demonic cultivators blood fell from the sky like rain.

"Quincy!"

"Kellie!" Both groups of parents shouted in fear as they rushed to shield the bodies of their kids from the blood explosion. The parents of other children who attended the awakening ceremony rushed to do the same, as if knowing what the blood rain symbolized.
