The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Just as Austin began activating the Spiritual Sense Incinerating Skill to handle Elder Tad, a transparent figure appeared behind the

elder.

It was Priest Callum.

"Bang!"

Priest Callum's magic wand transformed into a gray dragon that flew toward Elder Tad.

Austin was surprised and delighted as he sensed the evil energy released by Priest Callum.

He had reached the premium stage of Primal Holy Realm.

Priest Callum's bodily movement skill was incredible. Not only was he invisible, but he was undetectable by spiritual sense.

At this point, Elder Tad was focused on the white flin his Soul Sea.

It wasn't until Priest Callum attacked him did Elder Tad notice him.

Caught off guard, Elder Tad was too shocked to think of any martial skill with which to withstand the upcoming blow.

He ground his teeth as powerful vital energy gushed from his body and formed a visible wall behind him.

"Bang!"

Priest Callum's wand collided with the thick wall of vital energy.

Elder Tad trembled slightly and coughed up blood.

His face turned pale instantly.

Obviously, Priest Callum was stronger than him.

Besides, since he had to handle the white flin his Soul Sea, Elder Tad could only activate sixty percent of his vital energy to

defend himself.

As a result, he sustained injuries in the first round against Priest Callum.

"Abelard, you colluded with an outsider to trap me. Why did you do this?"

Elder Tad bellowed as he glared at Austin, who had transformed himself to look like Elder Abelard.

He was still under the impression that the impostor before him was Elder Abelard.

Austin summoned the Slaughtering Sword and infused his vital energy into it.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

He swung his sword several times, and several bloody sword aura beams flew toward Elder Tad.

Startled, Elder Tad patted his chest, and a white shield emerged from his body.

The shield was a high-grade holy weapon!

"Crack!"

The bloody sword aura smashed the white shield however!

A holy weapon couldn't defend against a blow from an archaic weapon.

Elder Tad spat more blood.

Austin was overjoyed. 'lt looks like the power of the Slaughtering Sword increased after | entered the Heaven Realm.

Now, | can hurt a Primal Holy Realm master with it.

Perhaps my attack was more effective because of the injuries he has already sustained.’

"You're not Abelard. You, you're Austin!"

Elder Tad shouted in a hoarse voice. When he saw the Slaughtering Sword, Elder Tad realized that he was being attacked by an

impostor.

"Yes. I'm Austin,"

Austin admitted with a smile.

Elder Tad finally realized that he had fallen into Austin's trap.

Without wasting any more time, Austin and Priest Callum launched a joint attack at the injured man.

A few seconds later, Elder Tad sustained such severe injuries that he couldn't defend himself. Seeing that he had been defeated,

Priest Callum restricted Elder Tad's cultivation base with a secret skill.

Austin then transported Elder Tad to the City model.

After that, Austin used the Appearance-transforming Clothes to disguise himself as Elder Tad.

As he had done earlier with Elder Abelard, Austin asked Violet to camouflage his spiritual soul so that it matched Elder Tad's.

With a smile, Austin activated his bodily movement skill, and a few minutes later, he returned to the Heavenly Emperor City.

Austin's first stop was the dungeon in Heavenly Emperor City, where his friends had been imprisoned.

The prison's entrance was located in a huge palace.

Since Austin had disguised himself as Elder Tad, he could enter the dungeon freely.

None of the warriors or guards stopped Austin as he stepped into the palace where the prison was located.

Soon, Austin cacross a magic array in the center of the hall.

Several cultivators at the Heaven Realm sat around the array.

Austin knew that the magic array was the entrance to the dungeon. He approached it casually.

"Elder Tad," the Heaven Realm cultivators greeted Elder Tad respectfully.

They had been unable to detect that this person was an impostor disguised as Elder Tad.

As was customary, these Heaven Realm cultivators showed respect to masters at the Primal Holy Realm.

Austin nodded at them calmly before stepping into the magic array.

A beam of light flashed, and Austin disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, Austin was transported to the underground palace.

As he glanced around, a huge iron cage caught his eye.

Evan and Herbert were inside the cage.

This had been the first tthat Austin saw his friends again ever since he left the Violet Orchid Empire.

Evan and Herbert didn't look well though.

Not only were they dirty and unkempt, Evan and Herbert were also covered in bruises and had blood stains all over their clothes.

They appeared weak.

There was no doubt that they had suffered tremendously since they had been taken as prisoners.

What hurt Austin the most was that their cultivation bases had been destroyed.

"I'll make these sects pay for what they have done to Evan and Herbert.

But the most important thing right now is to get them out, ' Austin thought.

As soon as he took a step forward, Austin spotted five elders sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Each appeared to be at the Primal Holy Realm.

"Tad, you left in a hurry. What happened?"

a tall, old man asked, looking up at Austin.

Hearing him speak, the remaining four elders opened their eyes and directed their gaze toward Austin.

"It was nothing important. | went back to take care of ssect matters,"

Austin replied vaguely.

He then casually walked forward and found a place to sit. After settling on the ground, Austin crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and

began to meditate silently.

Noticing that Austin had no intention of telling them what had happened, the five elders didn't push him further.

After all, ssect matters were confidential, and it was reasonable for high-level elders to choose not to share these with

outsiders.

Austin didn't dare to engage the five Primal Holy Realm cultivators in conversation because he was afraid that they would see

through his deception.

‘Violet said that cultivators whose cultivation bases were below the Heaven Realm, couldn't see through her illusion.

But these people are at the Primal Holy Realm. If they get suspicious, they might find out that | am not Tad, ' Austin contemplated.

Luckily, the five Primal Holy Realm cultivators didn't pay any further attention to Austin.

With a sigh of relief, Austin unleashed his spiritual sense to check on Evan and Herbert.

He perceived several wounds on their bodies.

What shocked him more was that he couldn't sense any vital energy coming from his friends.

"It looks like the rumors are true, '

Austin thought as anger swelled within him.

‘Evan and Herbert have lost their cultivation bases."

He felt sorry for his friends.

'If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have ended up like this, ' he thought as guilt coursed through him.

Meanwhile, Austin's hatred for the sects and clans which were involved in his friends' kidnapping increased.

In particular, he despised the Song Clan and the Kong Clan.

'Rest assured, Evan, Herbert. I'll avenge you, ' he swore to himself.
