All of a sudden, all the people present looked at Theon.
After all, he was the Sect Leader of the Sun Sect while Austin was a disciple in the Sun Sect. As long as they were in the Sun Sect's territory, Theon's attitude would determine Austin's fate.
Austin knew that Theon was caught in the middle now. He was a little touched to see that Theon cared about him to sextent.
"Ha! Mr. Xiang, don't worry.
I'll take responsibility for the death of Raymond and the other six Wolf Generals. It has nothing to do with the Sun Sect.
From now on, I, Austin Lin, am not a disciple of the Sun Sect. I'm dropping out." There was an audible gasp from the crowd.
Austin continued, "So, Dwayne and Abbott, if you want to retaliate, you have to deal with me! And Jaime, you bastard! Many years ago, you played a dirty trick onand causedto lose my intellect for three years. I'll definitely get back at you for that.
Mr. Xiang, | really appreciate your efforts to try to protect me.
Before | leave the Sun Sect, | hope that you can doa favor.
| hope that you can protect outer disciple Evan and Herbert, and keep them safe." Theon looked at Austin with a grave expression on his face.
"Austin, you're going to drop out of the Sun Sect? Evan and Herbert are both our disciples, so | will protect them for sure.
However, you were reckless to say that you will leave the Sun Sect," he said after recovering from the shock.
"Thank you for your promise, Mr. Xiang.
Dwayne, Abbott, and Jaime, | guess you'll have to deal withpersonally. I'm not afraid of you at alll Con!" Austin yelled.
He had made up his mind to take all the responsibility for his deeds. He knew he could provoke them by doing this.
"Oh, wow, what a hero," Abbott said sarcastically with a sneer. "Since you've confessed to your crime, | won't spare you!" Then, he launched a strike.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, there was a giant bloody palm floating over Austin's head. It was at least 300 square meters in size. The stinking, bloody palm contained formidable energy that made everyone in the vicinity feel sick.
What was worse, they could hear the wails and screams of sorrowful ghosts and evil spirits who were trapped inside the palm.
Any martial artist who was weak-minded would be terror-stricken to see it. He might even lose his mind.
Austin could feel the fluctuation of the formidable vital energy force inside the bloody palm.
He couldn't help thinking that the vital energy force of a Mysterious Realm martial artist was way too superior to that of an Earth Realm martial artist.
"Austin, since you're not a disciple of the Sun Sect anymore, it means that the Sun Sect can't interfere even if | kill you, right?" Abbott sneered and pressed his hand down into the air. Mirroring Abbott's action, the bloody palm descended straight down toward Austin's head.
It seemed like the ferocious evil energy was about to swallow Austin.
‘Abbott's cultivation base is probably in the medium stage of Mysterious Realm, Austin thought.
He started to run Golden Sun Scripture inside his body. Within seconds, the pressure of the bloody palm on him was relieved.
The Golden Sun Scripture was able to combat the energy of the bloody palm in such a short tbecause it was an extremely upright and masculine cultivation method. As the saying went, "Good prevails over evil." Therefore, it was extremely effective when combating vicious and feminine energy.
Taking this chance, Austin sprang to his feet and flew away at an amazing speed. Within a second, he was 30 meters away, out of the striking range of the bloody palm.
However, even though he had dodged the attack of the bloody palm, he could still feel his chest constricting. The pressure of the vital energy force from the bloody palm was making it hard for him to breathe.
Boom! Austin watched as the bloody palm crashed toward the ground where he had been standing just a split-second ago, forming a three-meter-deep hole. The ground around it cracked.
Abbott couldn't believe that he had missed his target.
His cultivation base was in the medium stage of Mysterious Realm. As far as he knew, Austin's cultivation base was just in level nine of Energy Gathering Realm. He had been confident that he would be able to smash Austin with just one blow.
He had only put 70% of his energy into it, but that should have been enough to destroy even an Earth Realm martial artist.
But Austin had been able to dodge it and get out unscathed.
How could that be? The rest of the crowd was also shocked.
"Wow! No wonder you weren't afraid of us. You do have sskills after all," Abbott said.
With that, he approached Austin at an amazing speed and launched another strike.
A bloody palm double the size of the previous one appeared above Austin's head. It was much more powerful and violent than the last palm.
Abbott was embarrassed that he had failed to hit Austin with his first attack. After all, he was the leader of the Blood Wolf Team while Austin was merely a nobody in a small sect. What would other people think of him when they found out that he had missed his target? It was a humiliation to him! He had to kill Austin this tat all costs. Therefore, he put all his strength into this palm.
"Mr. Xiang... This is too..." When the Elders in the Sun Sect saw Abbott's murderous attack, they looked at Theon as if asking him whether they should stop Abbott.
One of the Elders was so indignant that his face turned red.
Theon took a long look at Austin and said, "This is his choice.
We can't help him. He has to face it by himself." When Austin saw Abbott's deadly attack, he was prepared to accept the worst.
But on the outside, he laughed. "The great leader of the Blood Wolf Team is bullying a nobody like me? All right! I'm willing to accept this challenge and fight against you!" Austin knew that he was in great danger right now but he wasn't afraid. On the contrary, he felt braver than ever.
As soon as he finished speaking, he started moving his hands, forming strings of golden light between them. The strings of light twisted and waved in the air.
Suddenly, they turned into a six-layered golden pagoda on top of Austin's hands, containing ferocious vital energy force.
"Grand Pagoda!" Theon and the Elders exclaimed in a low voice.
The seniors in the Sun Sect knew it, of course, because it was an extremely dangerous skill that the disciples of the Sun Sect couldn't master.
But they'd never expected that Austin would have mastered this fourth-grade martial skill.
Moreover, judging from the speed at which he had summoned the Grand Pagoda, he was very proficient in this skill. He must have practiced it for a long time.
Austin had barely summoned the six-layered pagoda when Abbott's bloody palm descended toward his head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith an order from his mind, Austin shot the pagoda up toward the bloody palm like a giant bullet.
Boom! They crashed into each other in the air. The ferocious bloody palm shook severely as it tried to get the pagoda out of the way.
The two vital energy forces fought fiercely against each other. However, even though the Grand Pagoda was very strong, it couldn't stand the force of the bloody palm any longer and cracked with a loud thundering sound.
The vital energy force that was released from the explosion of the Grand Pagoda spread across the area, making everyone cry out in surprise.
The vital energy force was at the premium stage of Earth Realm! Many of the people present had a high cultivation base, so they could clearly tell that Austin's vital energy force was at the premium stage of Earth Realm and not level nine of Energy Gathering Realm like they had previously believed.
How? How could it be? Everyone present, including Abbott, was at a loss for words. They gawked at Austin like he was skind of monster.
"How is it possible?" one man asked.
"This boy has been hiding it all this time?" Dwayne asked in disbelief.
"Genius! We have a genius in the Sun Sect!" one of the Elders in the Sun Sect murmured.
"Austin! It turns out that your cultivation base is at the premium stage of Earth Realm! No wonder you could kill six Wolf Generals in the Blood Wolf Team!" Until a few moments ago, everyone had assumed that Austin was at level nine of Energy Gathering Realm. Even though his behavior was fearless and courageous, they had thought that he had nothing but guts and that he was just a nobody whose fate was controlled by others.
Now, they realized that Austin's cultivation base was actually at the premium stage of Earth Realm.
Cultivators at the premium stage of Earth Realm were considered very strong throughout the entire Violet Orchid Empire.
Finally getting over the shock, Abbott laughed.
"Well done, boy, you've hidden your true capability successfully! But unfortunately for you, | can still kill you easily!" "Go to hell!" Austin retorted.
Once again, the giant bloody palm buzzed with energy and started to descend toward Austin.
This time, Abbott put all his energy into it without holding anything back.
The limitless vicious energy almost enveloped Austin. It was so strong that he was unable to defend himself.
He felt like he couldn't breathe.
"Oh, no! Austin is going to die!" a man yelled.
"What a pity! He is a rare genius in the Sun Sect. But he's going to die now. It's our loss!" another one said.
