"Cut the fucking crap. If you want the precious treasure of the Sword Emperor, you will have to take it after defeating me," Austin said coldly.
He was obviously disgusted with the Holy Son and Mark's trick. Considering that they were powerful opponents, it was so low of them to conspire together against him.
Austin didn't want to talk to them anymore, lest even look at their smug faces.
"How dare you!" Mark exclaimed in outrage.
"Sir, | bore a grudge against this brat last t| went to the Sunset Mountain. Please letteach him a lesson first." While he spoke, Mark waved his hands. Suddenly, ten flashes shot out from his fingers and turned into puppets aligned before him.
All of them seemed real.
There were wolf puppets, each of which was equivalent to a cultivator at the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm. The other five were tiger puppets, which equaled to five cultivators at the medium stage of Imperial Realm.
Last time, in the Sunset Mountain, Mark could only simultaneously manipulate six puppets. They were equivalent to cultivators at the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm with one as powerful as a warrior at the medium stage of Imperial Realm.
This time, however, his ability to control the puppets had greatly improved both in quantity and quality.
As soon as the puppets cinto shape, they rapidly closed in on Austin.
"Ha-ha. Brat, you just have five desiccated corpses and a level 10 diabolic beast. You won't survive from the attacks of my puppets this time!" Mark burst into laughter, evidently mocking Austin.
In their last battle, his puppets were obstructed by the five corpse demons and the evil ape released by Austin. He thought that those were the only trump cards in Austin's hand.
Ten corpse demons cout as Austin patted the corpse nourishing bag hanging around his waist. They waved their sharp and solid corpse paws filled with corpse miasma, confronting the ten puppets.
The strength of each corpse demon was as strong as that of a cultivator at the premium stage of Imperial Realm. It was much more powerful than that of Mark's puppets.
As soon as they clashed, the corpse demons tore the five wolf puppets apart.
The other five tiger puppets were pressed against the ground and beaten hard by the other five corpse demons.
"You..." Mark was utterly furious upon seeing his puppets being destroyed one after the other.
Even the Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect gazed in surprise at Austin's corpse demons.
He, too, was speechless at that sight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Hmmm. This is interesting," said the Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect.
Witnessing the demolished five wolf puppets, Mark clenched his teeth with total rage. Another five flashes shot out of his finger, and soon, five tiger puppets were unleashed, replacing the ruined wolf puppets.
He could direct ten puppets together at the stime. In this case, he had puppets, which were all equal to ten cultivators at the medium stage of Imperial Realm.
But it was a little beyond his ability to control that much.
Therefore, after releasing another five tiger puppets, Mark instantly paled, signaling his weakening strength.
Austin naturally sensed it. So he snatched that chance and used the Thunderbolt Movement Skill to disappear in sight.
Then he employed the Demon-creating Skill, and a spiritual demon suddenly materialized in Mark's Soul Sea.
Mark was startled and immediately urged his spiritual sense to resist it.
Just then, Austin dashed over and appeared right in front of him.
"Ha-ha. It's hard to believe you have made sachievements in spiritual sense cultivation," Austin marveled.
His amused tone reeked with absolute mockery and sarcasm.
Mark's cultivation base was just at the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm, while the strength of his spiritual sense was as strong as that of a cultivator at the premium stage of Imperial Realm.
While his spiritual soul, chased by the spiritual demon, was running in panic and fear in his Soul Sea, he found Austin suddenly appeared before him.
A sense of a dreadful premonition aroused in his mind.
"Master, help me!" Mark shouted in fear.
"It's too late!" Austin's indifferent voice resounded beside his ear.
Then, an image of a fist enlarged swiftly in his frightened pupils.
"Bang!" Mark's body was smashed to pieces by Austin's fist.
"How dare you!" The Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect was about to save Mark, but Austin's attack was too fast and decisive.
It was difficult to catch up with that kind of quick and forceful attack.
Before he could even react to Austin's punch, the Holy Son had witnessed Mark being smashed into pieces.
"You're dead!" The Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect regarded himself as a cultivator of high status, so he just looked down on Austin and didn't even grant him a gaze. However, he had never thought that Austin would dare to kill Mark right in front of him.
That was humiliating in so many levels. He had never been disrespected in his entire life! Immediately, his blood started to boil at that thought.
Seeing that Mark was slain, the other three cultivators, who were all principal disciples of Ghost Puppet Sect, were dumbfounded.
Hurriedly, they released their own puppets. Taking account of the dozens of puppets they released before, they now totally had fifty puppets besieging Austin.
The Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect waved his hands, and five flashes shot out, turning into puppets before him.
Sensing the strength of the energy wave emitted by the five puppets, Austin was surprised and smiled bitterly.
He started to figure out a plan of fleeing away at once.
Among the five puppets summoned by the Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect, four were lion puppets, each of which equaled to a cultivator at the preliminary stage of Master Realm.
The other one was an elephant puppet, which had the strength of a cultivator at the medium stage of Master Realm.
Besides that, the Son of Ghost Puppet Sect himself was at the preliminary stage of Master Realm.
Their total strength was equal to six cultivators of Master Realm! Austin was confident, but not conceited enough to fight with all of them. He knew clearly that he stood no chance of defeating them even if he cooperated with the gnome.
He and the gnwere strongest in terms of their spiritual sense.
However, the five puppets were not living things which had Soul Sea and spiritual souls. Therefore, it would be useless to attack them with spiritual sense techniques.
"How do you feel now, young lad? Scared? Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's no use regretting what you have done.
Killing my men will only result in death!" As soon as he finished his words, the Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect pointed at Austin. Then, the five puppets simultaneously shot, moving towards Austin at lightning speed.
With a wave of his hand, Austin summoned back the ten corpse demons in his corpse nourishing bag.
At the stime, he rubbed the Space Ring, and a yellow piece of paper appeared in his hand.
It was the Primary Teleportation Rune.
That was definitely the perfect tto test its effect.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSimultaneously, Austin had also summoned the City model with his spiritual sense.
He devised a contingency plan.
If the Primary Teleportation Rune did not work, Austin would hide in the City right away.
"You're the Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect, right? I'll remember you. See you next time!" Austin shouted.
He then urged his vital energy and infused it into the rune.
Next moment, a dazzling yellow light emitted from it.
The beaming light, as bright as the sun, hovered on Austin, fully covering his whole body.
Then, in an instant, the yellow light and Austin both disappeared.
"Damn it! It's the Primary Teleportation Rune! | won't let you flee away!" The blaring uproar of the Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect made the valley shake.
Just then, ten figures, which were moving as fast as lightning, appeared outside the valley. Within the tof several breaths, they reached the position where the Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect stood.
"Ha-ha. Which one dared to mess with you?" A tall and thin young man walked over to the Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect.
"You are the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch of Sky Sect." The Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect stared at them with wariness.
Everyone in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom knew that each of those cultivators had extraordinary strength.
Although they were not chosen to be the Holy Son of their sect, they were not inferior to the Holy Son of other big sects.
Most importantly, they had practiced one array. When they fought together, the array would make their strength times stronger than usual! "Who dared to mess with me? None other than that brat Austin!" The Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect was still angry.
"It was indeed Austin! He was here just now!" The tall and slim young man, the head of the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch, took out a jade slip which immediately emitted a weak white light when it touched the air.
"It's the spiritual soul tracing skill, right?" Seeing that, the Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect asked in curiosity.
"Yeah. The Elder of our sect had reached the Daylight City. He extracted the characteristics of Austin's spiritual sense wave and sealed them in this jade slip.
As long as Austin is nearby, the jade slip will show us his whereabouts.
Austin killed so many disciples of our sect. We'll catch him ourselves and let him experience all the cruel tortures in the world!" the tall and slim man exclaimed.
He then put the jade slip in front of him, and it automatically pointed towards the northwest.
"Austin went in that direction. Let's go!" The Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch of Sky Sect fled in the sdirection with their bodily movement skill.
"Austin, the precious treasure of Sword Emperor, must belong to me!" The Holy Son of Ghost Puppet Sect, together with the three principal disciples of their own sect, followed them to the northwest.
