"Oh my god. It's him," one of the cultivators in the tavern whispered above all the others.
Austin now understood why the tavern had gotten so quiet once the teenager arrived. They were all terrified of him.
The Crown Sect was a second-class sect in the East Mainland. Although the three holy lands and the three prominent clans were
above it, it had a long history.
It ranked first among the second-class sects in the East Mainland.
The leader of the Crown Sect had a well-known son who, despite being famous, had a bad reputation in the East Mainland.
He cfrom power and he used that power to get and do what he wanted. He often bullied the weak and took advantage of
women.
As Austin looked around the tavern, he saw that many of the cultivators were cowering back from the teenager. Even though he
was younger than them, he still was more powerful.
They could fight back against him but that would automatically make the Crown Sect their enemy. There were only a few that had
the guts to do that.
Peacock Princess and her maids arched their eyebrows as they exchanged a look with each other. 'Oops. Even though we were
being careful, we still ran into this infamous bully."
"It's not right to treat a beautiful lady like this.
Be a gentleman, understood?" the handsteenager scolded his servant, walking up to Austin and the girls. As he walked, the
other cultivators moved quickly out of his way.
He acted like a high-born gentleman. The look on his face showed his contempt towards the people in the tavern.
Since his father was the leader of a second-class sect, he also had a high status in the East Mainland. He had made it his mission
to steal away Peacock Princess, whether she wanted to cor not.
"Miss, I'm Edgar Jiang. | feel like | have known you my whole life. May | have the honor of being friends with you?"
the handsteenager asked, holding out his hand and looking Peacock Princess up and down with his lewd eyes.
Peacock Princess’ face twisted in disgust. She even moved her body further away from him. Edgar's eyes widened and then
narrowed in annoyance.
"You scumbag, didn't you hear them? They asked you to get lost,"
Austin cut in.
"Fuck! What did you say, you obnoxious lowlife? Don't you know who | am?
You can't talk tolike that! You're as good as dead," Edgar Jiang yelled.
His face was beet red but Austin couldn't tell if it was from embarrassment or anger. Edgar Jiang had always thought highly of
himself. There wasn't a person alive that had the guts to insult him.
Even worse, there was a beautiful girl watching. He couldn't let this young man go alive after humiliating him like this.

"Today is the end of your days," Edger Jiang bellowed as he took a couple steps backwards. His handseyes were now filled
with malice.
He spread his hand and stretched out his arm to hit Austin. The vital energy that was emanating from his palm was so powerful
that it formed a hurricane. The nearby tables lifted and slammed against the walls. Glass shattered and cultivators ran into the far
corners of the room.
Taking a moment, Austin determined that Edgar Jiang was at the preliminary stage of Bitter Sea Realm and he wasn't surprised.
Edgar was born into privilege and always had access to high grade cultivation resources. However, like most bullies, he was weak
and he couldn't stand the pain.
As a result, he hadn't reached a high realm even though he had abundant cultivation resources at his disposal.
Using his spiritual sense, Edgar Jiang had determined that Austin had reached the preliminary stage of Emperor Realm. Since his
cultivation base was higher than Austin's, and he wanted to show off his strength to impress Peacock Princess, he decided to fight
Austin on his own.
"This brat is only at the preliminary stage of Emperor Realm, yet he dared to piss off the son of the leader of the Crown Sect. He
will die today,"
someone in the tavern murmured.
It was widely known that Edgar Jiang was a cold-blooded killer.
Austin stayed still as Edgar Jiang danced back and forth in front of him. He formed a fist behind his back and prepared to hit Edgar
Jiang's palm.
"Humph! You have only reached the preliminary stage of Emperor Realm? How do you have the balls to fight me? You must have
lost your mind out there! That would explain why you tried to provoke me,"
Edgar Jiang yelled, bouncing on his toes.
As he looked around the tavern for agreement on his words, Austin knew he believed that victory would be his.
Only, Austin had seen his opportunity to strike while Edgar was distracted. He swung and the instant Edgar's palm hit Austin's fist,
an earsplitting sound resulted and the tavern shook violently. More plates and glasses fell, leaving shards of glass crunching under
their feet.
"How... how did you do that?"
The cultivators that were watching had gaping mouths as they looked between the two.
Austin turned back to look at Edgar Jiang and kept holding his fist against his palm. Moments later, Edgar Jiang's arm shattered.
The bone stuck out and blood gushed down and dripped onto the floor.
"Ouch!" Edgar Jiang screamed in anguish and clutched onto his upper arm.
His face turned completely white as the blood continued to rush out of his body.
He looked around the tavern, feeling more embarrassed than before. Born in an influential family, he didn't get hurt like this.
"Now you see? You're nothing but a loser. You're not better than the rest of us, Edgar," Austin teased, not bothering to hold back his
wide smile.
Grabbing Edgar Jiang by the collar, Austin lifted him up until his feet were dangling beneath him and threw him hard against the
ground as if he were playing with a toy he no longer cared for. Edgar moaned in pain but was unable to move. Austin stepped on
his face and stayed there.
Austin's physical strength had reach one hundred and fifty million pounds. When he placed a beating on Edgar Jiang, his body
emitted an earthy, yellow light.
Edgar Jiang lacked combat experience. Under Austin's foot, he moaned and groaned and appeared to forget to strike back.
"Who are you? Don't you know who this is?"
"You're digging your own grave!"
The two middle-aged men in indigo were standing straight and puffing out their chests. Austin continued to step on Edgar and
ignore them.
The battle had commenced so fast that neither of them could have reacted if they had wanted to.
"Brat, he is our leader's son. If anything happens to him, our leader will throw a fit. You may be skilled but you are nothing against
our leader's wrath."
"Let him go!"
The two men in indigo hurled threats at Austin but they didn't step forward out of the crowd. Even though they were big and
strong, they didn't want to risk Austin trampling Edgar Jiang to death before they could stop him.
They looked at Austin with worry on their faces. He was only at the preliminary stage of Emperor Realm but he somehow had
attained immense physical power. They had never seen anyone like him in the city before.
"lI won't stop! | will disfigure you as your punishment. | bet you've never been punished a day in your life! From now on, you'd
better behave yourself and don't take advantage of beautiful girls anymore!" Austin said.
For a moment, he lifted his foot from Edgar's head, but then he lowered it and stomped on him another dozen times.
When he was finished, Edgar's face was so swollen and purple that even his father would not be able to recognize him.
"Ouch! I'm going to kill you!
My father and | will destroy you together!"
Edgar Jiang screamed hysterically and several of the other cultivators had to leave the tavern. He had never experienced pain so
brutal and he was sure he was dying.
"Are you serious? Your life is in my hands. How are you still threateninglike this?"
Austin huffed and
he stomped on Edgar's face another dozen times.
Edgar tried to look up at him but his eyes were swollen shut. His skin was black and blue and blood was oozing from cuts on his
face. Several of his teeth were lying scattered on the floor around him.
"Stop! We will report this to our leader and he will cfor you," one of the men in indigo said.
He tried to sound menacing but his body was trembling with fear.

If Edgar Jiang lost his life, they knew that their leader would beat them and then kill them as well.
"Do you know that you were wrong?"
Austin asked sternly.
Edgar Jiang didn't reply. All that cout of his mouth was more screams and cries. He had never hated someone so much in his
life. He swore in that moment that he would do anything to make Austin pay for this.
Austin waited for a minute and after receiving no response, Austin raised his eyebrows and lifted his foot once again.
He stomped on Edgar Jiang another dozen times.
"Answer my question!"
Austin bellowed.
"Yes, | understand! | was wrong. Now please, letgo," Edgar Jiang begged.
Hot tears rolled down his cheeks and mixed in with the blood. He couldn't fight any longer. His head was bent into an entirely
different shape.
If he hadn't reached the preliminary stage of Bitter Sea Realm, he would have already blacked out.
A higher cultivation base meant that a cultivator could withstand more pain.
"Let him go, Mr. Lin. Spare his life or you will get into a lot of trouble,"
Peacock Princess said to Austin through her spiritual sense.
"Fine. I'm not happy about it but let's get going,"
Austin said to Peacock Princess and her maids through his spiritual sense.
He saw that Edgar Jiang had managed to sit upright so he turned and kicked him in the stomach.
Edgar Jiang was thrown against the wall and broke through it.
He fell on a busy street and clutched his sore abdomen. His eyes crossed and he nearly passed out.
"Master!"
The two men in indigo were the first to check on Edgar Jiang. They leapt through the hole in the wall and stood over him.
Austin, Peacock Princess, and her maids slipped out the doors and into the loud street. Everyone on the street was running to see
what had happened.
"Ha-ha. It looks like it was the bully's turn to be beaten. He deserved this."
"That young man is so fearless. | didn't expect him to kick that bully's ass."
"Ha-ha. | bet the leader of the Crown Sect will pass out when he sees what happened to his son."
A heated discussion erupted among the cultivators in the tavern. They were glad to see Edgar Jiang being taught a lesson for once.
