"Shut up! | don't care who you are. I'm the Wolf General of the Blood Wolf Team. | showed mercy to you and tried to let you go, but you wasted the opportunity.
You're a good vital energy refiner. Though you're young, you are at the premium stage of Earth Realm.
still, don't you dare think that you can challenge the members of our Blood Wolf Team.
We have at least more than ten cultivators at the Mysterious Realm.
Besides, | don't think you can reach the premium stage of Earth Realm at such a young age as yours. You must have taken many elixirs to help you get a breakthrough and reach this realm," the man said in contempt.
With a wave of his hand, he gave a snort and went on, "Even without the help from our powerful cultivators at the Mysterious Realm, | can take you down without any difficulty.
So, remember you should not mess with any member of the Blood Wolf Team.
That's all | want to tell you. Keep it in mind as a warning. It's up to you now. You can choose to stay here further or leave."
'Well, how surprising! | never thought that things would take such a turn. This man is the Wolf General of Blood Wolf Team. | already took care of the other wolf generals earlier, and | wouldn't mind killing another one. He is digging his own grave, ' Austin thought in scorn.
The Wolf General's advice and threat didn't work on Austin. Instead of getting scared, the young lad studied the Wolf General from head to toe. 'I'm going to take his life. I'm sure Abbott would be pissed off after he learns about his underlying's death. What would he do?' Austin thought, smiling to himself.
"What? Little Beggar, you... you reached the premium stage of the Earth Realm?" "Little Beggar! Are you also a cultivator?" Female voices full of astonishment and disbelief resonated from the carriage and reached Austin's ears. The maid in red and the maid in white seemed to be thunderstruck by this revelation.
Austin burst into laughter as if he had heard a ridiculous and hilarious joke.
"You must be kidding!? Interesting. Do you have any idea what you are talking about? You're the Wolf General of Blood Wolf Team, yet you allow me to leave! Does that really make any sense? Don't be ridiculous. Have you forgotten your task?"
"Our task?" the Wolf General repeated, stunned at Austin's words.
He started to think about his mission. 'What was this guy talking about?" "That's none of your business. You...? Are...... you.... Austin?" The thought suddenly occurred to the Wolf General that the lad standing before him might be the one person whom the whole Blood Wolf Team hated the most.
With a frown on his face, he whipped out a scroll. He keenly looked at the portrait under the light of the torch. He realized everything now.
"I see. So, you are Austin! Attention guys! He is the one we are after. Don't let him run away," he instructed.
His men had already struck down all the escorts who were hired to protect people inside the carriage.
Blood Wolf Team followed one principle—kill all the targets.
When the warriors who escorted the two maids got to know that these robbers were from the Blood Wolf Team which was powerful enough to compete against all the five biggest sects of Violet Orchid Empire, they panicked and got demoralized. Even before there was a fight, they had lost their spirits. So there was no way that they could survive facing those cold-blooded killers.
In a blink of an eye, more than forty men of the Blood Wolf Team surrounded the carriage where Austin, Mike and the two maids were. All the men stared at Austin with a fierce look in their eyes.
All those men who were on this mission to pursue Austin were the elite members of the Blood Wolf Team.
It was for the first time that the Blood Wolf Team had sent so many of its best members to carry out a task. When assigned the mission, they had thought that their target was a dangerous, powerful cultivator.
But to their astonishment and disappointment, their target was a harmless, good-looking youth. They felt it was a job accomplished!
All the members of the Blood Wolf Team were speechless. Some even started to whine. 'What's wrong with our superiors? We're the best cultivators in our team. The target is just a little brat. This is an easy task. Why did they order us to take a teenager's life? They made such a big deal of this. They were so insistent that we complete our mission early. To finish our task as soon as possible, we haven't slept or eaten well in the past few days."
Mike and the two maids were unaware about the reason of the rivalry between Austin and the Blood Wolf Team.
"Little beggar, are you really a powerful cultivator at the premium stage of the Earth Realm?" the red-dressed maid asked Austin through the curtain.
Austin coughed, and with a wry smile he explained, "Well, here is the real thing, Miss. I'm not a beggar."
"Sue, don't talk nonsense. This lad is a brave, kind and powerful cultivator. He is a talent that all the sects want to get. How could he be a pauper?" Mike lectured.
Being an experienced elder, Mike had already perceived that Austin was no beggar. He was aware that the lad who disguised himself as a beggar was an excellent cultivator from some sect. Not everyone had the courage and boldness to challenge the Blood Wolf Team, after all.
"Is that so? Looks like though you're not a beggar, you're a bad guy. How could you fool us? We even pitied you," the girl in red complained in her soft, feminine voice.
"Sue, don't be so rude. | have a feeling that he didn't do it intentionally. Probably he has his own reasons," the girl in white spoke for Austin.
Both the girls were too young to realize that they were in grave danger. That was the reason why they were nagging Austin instead of thinking about saving their lives.
"Ha ha! You're Austin. | finally get to meet you in person. If it weren't for you, | would be having fun with my five concubines at home.
Now that you've finally turned up, you brat, | am not going to waste any more time. I'm going to tear you into a million pieces and finish the task assigned to us." A middle-aged, bulky man of medium height strutted towards Austin.
The man and his other companions had been busy handling the escorts. They didn't see the fight between Austin and their leader. Hence, they had no idea that Austin had strong vital energy.
He studied the teenager—about sixteen years old—standing before him. The man concluded that the lad was no match, because he was a cultivator at the medium stage of the Earth Realm. He had no reason to take Austin seriously.
"Fred, let me handle him. He isn't easy to handle," the Wolf General said with furrowed eyebrows.
"Sir, please leave him to me. I'll be glad to take care of him.
| don't get it. Why didn't you take him down directly? Why are you wasting time talking to him? If you had done so, we would have already completed our task and returned to report it to the commander." While Fred Zhou spoke, he approached Austin with a sinister grin.

His remarks infuriated Harry. 'He never shows any respect to me because the Eldest Wolf General trusts him the most. He has disobeyed my orders several times. Now he wants to challenge that brat! I'll not stop him. He'll learn some lessons from it, ' the Wolf General thought.
Harry was aware that his subordinate Fred couldn't defeat Austin. After all, Fred was at the medium stage of the Earth Realm while their target was at the premium stage of the Earth Realm.
Austin laughed out loud and declared, "Abbott, you want me dead, while | want you to die. Watch out! I'll kill all your men." He started his Wind-commanding Skill. The next second, he stopped in front of Fred. With a wave of his arm, he gave Fred a punch carrying 4, 000 kilograms of force in the chest.
All of it happened so fast that the rest of the men didn't see or realize that Austin had moved an inch. Neither did Fred.
At present, Austin's single stride was up to 100 meters. So it was a piece of cake for him to take a step forward and reach Fred who was a mere six meters away from him.
Without even realizing that the enemy was before him, Fred was displaying his best skill—the Lightning Strike— to end Austin's life while lost in his own thoughts. 'This time, most of our top cultivators were sent to carry out a mission. Now that I'm going to take Austin down, I'll take the credit. What a day!" He was so happy that he almost laughed with joy and pride.
However, things didn't go his way. Out of the blue, he was struck with an enormous power, and the next second, he saw a fist coming at him. His eyes dilated in shock.
It happened so quickly that Fred didn't get a chance or moment to defend himself.
Bang! A loud noise resounded in the air and reached everyone's ears.
With eyes wide-open in shock, Fred took the blow. A deep hole appeared in his chest where the fist had landed.
Blood started to fill his mouth and trickled down lips and chin.
"It happened so fast!" Those were the few words Fred was able to utter. Like a deflated balloon, he fell on the ground breathless.
Austin had made only a single move, and got rid of his attacker.
He had beaten a cultivator who was at the medium stage of the Earth Realm with only one strike.
The crowd present there stood still after they saw Austin bring Fred down effortlessly. He had done it with so much ease as though he just swatted a fly.
