Austin was floating above the north of the town.
Meanwhile, Winnie and Isis were also coming to the sarea.
"There's someone over there,"
Winnie said in a delighted tone as she sensed the presence of a man with the use of her spiritual sense.
Fleeing from the host of demons that were chasing them, the two of them were getting almost desperate. The sign that there was
someone else nearby brought them great relief. Hoping he would cto their rescue, they eagerly dashed towards Austin.
When Austin detected the presence of the two girls flying towards him, he stopped moving and hovered over the place, waiting for
them.
A few minutes later, Winnie and Isis spotted a middle-aged man.
Austin had changed his appearance to pass under the disguise of a much older man.
With a little sense of relief, the two girls fixed their gazes on the stranger. Silently, they hoped he was a good person—someone
they could trust.
At the stime, Austin too was studying them.
First to catch his attention was Winnie, whose clothes were stained with blood, a deep cut on her right shoulder. His eyes widened
as he saw the wound, obviously inflicted by the claws of one of the demons.
The right side of her clothes was a bloody mess, with most of her right arm exposed.
Patches of blood stained her snow-white skin.
And it was no better for Isis; her cloth was ripped apart at the back, exposing scratch marks on her supple, creamy skin.
It was evident the two girls had literally escaped from the claws of death.
"Sir... " Winnie began.
Noticing that the demons were getting closer to them, she got flustered and worried.
However, she could sense an aura of unfathomable vital energy around Austin.
A gut feeling told her the middle-aged man was far more powerful than her.
Even just looking at his face, she felt that he oozed so much confidence that would put her at peace. From the look of things, she
knew this stranger could save them.
"Sir, dozens of demons are pursuing us..."
she continued when he didn't answer.

"I see. Cand stand behind me.
I'll handle them,"
Austin said flatly.
‘The two girls tried to killseveral times.
But now we're facing the senemy—the demons. We're at the war with demons. | should let go of grudges from the past, ' he
mused.
"Sir, these demons are way too strong. I'll stay here to assist you.
Meanwhile, Isis, leave right now.
Go find the elders of our sect and fill them in on our master's death. Ask them to avenge her,"
Winnie said to Isis, urging her to leave.
"No, Winnie, I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay with you," Isis insisted.
She could not leave her fellow sister behind.
"Low-born humans, you can't get away."
"The skin of a woman is smooth and supple enough to replenish my energy and blood readily. I'll rely on them to boost my power."
By now their enemies had caught up with them and stood right opposite—ghoulish giants, each one worse looking than the next.
Using his spiritual sense, Austin made a quick check of the strength of his enemies.
Only two of them were demon generals, with the rest mere demon soldiers at the lowest rank.
A demon general could be on par with a man at the Astral Realm.
On the other hand, a low ranking soldier among them was the equivalent of a Master Realm cultivator among men.
In all, Austin knew he could easily take care of them.
"A group of conceited beasts," he snorted coldly.
The next minute, the Lightning Sword appeared in his hand.
At the thought of how many human cultivators had died across town, he hated the callous demons with a passion.
As he waved his sword, it radiated dozens of thunderbolt sword aura beams.
Each beam hit right on target, striking the demons straight to the head. .
After his experience, fighting against demons in the Barren Mountain, Austin had found the easiest way to annihilate them.
By hitting them straight on the heads, he was taking them out by their numbers with every single strike.
If he hit other parts of the demons, it was difficult to kill them in the shortest time.
The demons had amazing healing ability for injuries to any other part of the body, except for head injury.
Cracking sounds rent the air
from his sword aura, as he hit them with bolts of lightning.
The sword aura's strikes hit so fast that the demons couldn't even dodge.
Scampering for cover, they suffered gushing head injuries, one after another.
"We'll kill you," the two demon generals threatened.
But they too had to keep jumping, filching and skipping to avoid being hit as they charged forward.
When they finally got the chance to attack, they hit him with powerful bolts of evil aura that they knew would take him out at once.
They somehow succeed to envelope Austin with the evil aura of their dark power.
The evil aura could severely damage a cultivator's spiritual soul. Exceptionally powerful cultivators might get flustered and get
paralyzed in battle.
In battle, that was why the demons were far superior to human cultivators of the scultivation level.
However, the attack by two demon generals did not achieve much against Austin, who had a demon imperator's skeleton inside his
body.
Besides, his spiritual sense was so incredibly powerful that the evil aura they thought would trap him didn't even cnear his
soul, which was well guarded by the spiritual tree.
If it were a mere human cultivator, that powerful attack of the evil aura would have crippled him.
But fighting Austin was a totally different kettle of fish.
He snorted defiantly before releasing his physical power. Clenching his left hand into a fist, he gave the two demon generals each a
punch.
Cleverly executed, he made light work of the enemy with only one lethal punch straight to the head for each of the two demon
generals.
With single one move, he smashed them to pulps.
After slaying two demon generals, he wielded his sword at the rest demons.
In a short time, all that remained before him were lifeless bodies, crashed to a bloody mess.
'He is so strong!" Winnie and Isis thought, staring blankly at Austin.

The two of them were thunderstruck after witnessing how easily Austin took out those demons.
'So he killed all these demons?" the two girls wondered.
'We couldn't even defend ourselves facing the demons, and that's why we kept running away.
But this man has made short work of the demons. | couldn't believe it, ' the two girls thought.
Feeling uneasy under their gazes, Austin pretended to cough.
"Girls, | have overthrown your tormentors. Now, you're safe. Bye!" he said.
He put his Lightning Sword aside and turned in an attempt to leave.
Hearing Austin cough drew Winnie back from shock.
"Wait first, sir!" she called out.
"What's up?"
Austin turned around and furrowed his eyebrows. He had no intention of wasting more ton the two girls.
Winnie and Isis felt hurt at the sight of his expression.
Wherever they went, they always had made heads turn and people competed to show them attention.
After all, they were enchanting excellent disciples from the New Moon Sect.
Winnie was one of the Holy Daughters of the sect.
Men of all ages had been nice to them and many even tried to please them to win their affections.
‘Today was a bad day. Our master died at the hands of the demon race and we narrowly escaped death.
Now, this man showed disinterest towards us. Did we do anything wrong to him?'
The day's troubles left them so downcast they almost cried at his indifference.
"Sir,"
Winnie said, desperately.
"The demons you just destroyed had been on rampage, capturing a vast area, thousands of miles in range.
While they ran riot, they even killed our master.
And now, we're too weak to make it out of this area, just the two of us without someone to help us.
Please get us out of this place, sir. Otherwise we really fear for our lives."
