The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Few cultivators could resist the temptation of two holy weapons.

"Let's follow Austin. We can look for treasures while finding a chance to take him out.

Although Austin's longbow is a holy weapon, it will still take him stto shoot it. Besides, bows are ranged weapons.

We need to find a chance to get close to him before executing him.

That way, he couldn't use his bow to hurt us.

As long as he can't use his powerful bow, we can get him easily,"

the stout man snorted.

"You're right!

Let's go follow him."

Meanwhile, on another mountain, four middle-aged evil men looked up at Austin who had flown past them.

"I suppose this guy is the one the Sky Sect wants. They even offered a high reward.

Looks like this brat isn't that strong, though!

He's only at the medium stage of Master Realm. Why would the four elders of the Sky Sect offer a holy weapon to the one who can

take his life?"

one commented.

"That's none of our business.

| heard the Sky Sect in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom has many strong cultivators. Now that they are willing to offer such a

high reward, it means this brat isn't easy to handle.

Our job is to rob, steal or catch wanted fugitives.

This is a good chance for us. We can't let it go,"

another responded.

"I agree with you.

We've robbed many people since we got here, and we've gotten many valuable things.

Let them seek treasures. We can tail after them and take things from the weak cultivators who are alone and vulnerable.

Ha-ha. They work so hard to collect treasures, just to surrender them to us. We will make a fortune,"

another said.

"We're at the premium stage of Astral Realm.

Keep one thing in mind: our targets are those whose cultivation bases are below the medium stage of Astral Realm,"

the one in charge reminded his companions rigidly.

A piece of news gradually spread among the cultivators in the ancient master's mansion.

Anyone who took Austin Lin out would win a holy weapon and 1000 divine vital energy crystals from the Sky Sect of Heavenly

Dragon Holy Kingdom.

Many cultivators had made up their mind to pursue him and win themselves the reward.

Austin was flying over a huge mountain.

He was nearing the center. If he went further, he would reach the depths.

Out of the blue, earth-shaking thuds reached his ears.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Upon hearing this, Austin paused and floated in mid-air.

On the alert, he looked at the direction of the sounds.

He saw massive dark clouds roll and gather together from the northeast.

Among them, countless snakelike lightning bolts intertwined together as thunder rumbled incessantly.

All the bolts of lightning struck a large mountain, which had a vast plateau on its summit.

Here stood a grand palace, huge and glorious.

Bolts of thick lightning struck were striking it directly.

It seemed like the palace had smagic power that attracted these forces of nature.

It was surrounded by thunder and lightning.

'What's going on with this palace?’

Austin wondered, looking puzzled.

Looking alert and hesitant, scultivators stopped nearby the palace on the peak. It was evident that they didn't dare to come

closer to the palace.

"Is there streasure in that palace?

If there is, it must have something to do with the lightning and thunder. That sounds not bad," Austin muttered, narrowing his eyes.

He then flew cautiously towards the huge mountain.

Soon, he had reached it

and landed on the summit.

There was a big square, and smack dab in its center was the palace.

"Boom! Boom!"

The entire peak, including the square, trembled fiercely, enveloped by thunder.

Huge lightning bolts struck it, eerily illuminating the area.

The thunder echoed in his ears as Austin felt the ground shake incessantly.

He studied the palace and saw a plaque hanging above the door, on which was inscribed "Thunder Palace."

Many cultivators stood in small groups around the square, observing the palace.

Dozens of Astral Realm warriors headed towards the gates of the palace slowly.

Apparently, they intended to enter the building.

But the lighting above the palace struck the surrounding of the palace from tto time.

Those who attempted to approach the palace took out their magic treasures to protect themselves warily.

Since lighting was one of the most violent, destructive forces, no one could afford to be careless.

The rest of the cultivators stayed behind, staring anxiously at the braver ones.

It was obvious that they wanted to know how risky it was to break into the palace.

They would decide whether to emerge into that building after seeing what would happen to the adventurous ones.

"Crack! Boom!"

Without warning, several bolts of lightning struck a cultivator at the preliminary stage of Astral Realm.

This cultivator was about 400 meters away from the door of the palace. Before the lightning hit him, he inched forward with great

care.

He had becexcited as he was about to reach the palace.

Startled, he stepped backwards hurriedly.

He raised his shield and transported his vital energy to it, trying to protect himself. A few seconds later, the shield lit up brightly.

It was a top-grade divine weapon, of the highest make and caliber.

But since the streaks of lighting moved so rapidly, they hit the shield within moments.

"Crack!"

The shield shook violently and fumed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The lightning flashed and thunder rumbled over the palace as the second the streaks of lightning hit the divine weapon.

Suddenly, dozens of flashes of lightning struck the cultivator at the stime. Sof them were as thick as an arm, while others

had the girth of a tree trunk!

"No!" the cultivator screamed in sheer fear.

Thoroughly freaked out, he turned tail and sped away.

Lifting his shield high, he kept infusing vital energy into it.
