The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Answer me. Be honest or your soul will be ruined!"

Austin said in a cold voice.

Bang!

The moment Austin finished his words, the killer's head exploded. He died on the spot.

Austin frowned in disappointment.

‘Probably this is a rule for the members of the Slaughtering Sect.

If the assassin fails in his mission and gets caught accidentally, his head will explode automatically.

In this way, no one would be able to track down the headquarters of the Slaughtering Sect, ' he thought.

"Are you all right, Austin?"

Suddenly he saw a dozen figures in the sky. Quickly they landed beside Austin.

They were the disciples of the FlHoly Land. Rahul was among them too.

"I've heard that killers from the Slaughtering Sect had appeared and wanted to assassinate you. So | rushed here immediately,"

said Rahul.

In the last six months, Austin had spent most of his tpracticing sword skills in the Divine Sword Cliff.

Rahul had attended to all the daily affairs in the Five Elements City in his absence.

"Don't worry; I'm good. | managed to kill them all. Let's go back,"

Austin replied calmly.

He led the disciples of the FlHoly Land and they began their journey back to the Five Elements City.

He knew how to practice the Five Elements Dominant Swordsmanship. If he wanted to employ that sword skill to full capacity, he

needed to have a better understanding of the rules of five elements and needed to do more practice.

Since he had already learnt how to use that sword skill, there was no reason for him to continue staying in the Divine Sword Cliff.

Austin and his companions were on their way back to the Five Elements City.

"Congratulations, Holy Heritor! You have figured out the secret of the Divine Sword Cliff!

You are the second person | know, who has been able to do that."

A voice suddenly reached their ears. Austin found it a familiar one.

"It's you, sir!"

Austin was surprised when he found an old man standing before him. It was the man who had accompanied him to the Divine

Sword Cliff last time.

"What's going on? What do you know about that secret?" Austin asked.

He was curious to know what the old man meant.

"Long tago, a man accidentally saw the sword-light of the Divine Sword Cliff while he was passing the Five Elements City.

Then he comprehended swordsmanship in front of the Divine Sword Cliff, like you did.

In the end, he was able to figure out the secret of the cliff,"

the old man narrated the incident.

"Sir, so did you meet that person?"

Austin was shocked.

"Yes, | did. He called himself as the Sword Emperor,"

the old man revealed.

"The Sword Emperor!"

Austin was quite shocked. 'This old man has met the Sword Emperor before.

The Sword Emperor left the PrMartial World a long tago.

If the elder had met him, it means that he is also very old.

It is also a fact that the higher a cultivator's cultivation base is, the longer he can live, ' Austin mused.

"It's a matter of great honor forthat | got the chance to serve him for a period of tin the past.

He helpeda lot in my cultivation.

Later, he left the Five Elements City. | haven't seen him since then.

Although he called himself as the Sword Emperor, | knew that his real cultivation base was far higher than the Emperor Realm.

| bet, at that the was at least at the Major-perfection Realm.

So many years have passed by.

He must have becterrifyingly powerful now."

The old man becthoughtful as he remembered the past days.

'It is unbelievable that this old man served the Sword Emperor and was taught by him, ' Austin thought.

"Did the Sword Emperor tell you where he was going?

| wonder if he is still in the East Mainland,"

Austin asked.

As he and the Sword Emperor were from the PrMartial World, Austin was eager to know his whereabouts.

"Not really. But once he mentioned tothat he was planning to have a tour in the Middle Pilgrim Land.

So | think he might have gone off to the Middle Pilgrim Land.

But so many years have passed since then.

Perhaps, he has already gone away from there,"

the old man answered in a dejected tone.

"The Middle Pilgrim Land!"

Austin murmured.

The Divine Continent was divided into five major areas: the East Mainland, the West Desert, the South Mountain, the North Plateau

and the Middle Pilgrim Land. The Middle Pilgrim Land was the most important part of the Divine Continent.

It was often said that the Middle Pilgrim Land was the most prosperous and the most powerful among the five major regions.

The Middle Pilgrim Land was vast and boundless. Even if the other four regions were combined, that part would still be smaller

than it.

In short, the Middle Pilgrim Land was like the heart of the Divine Continent.

It was far more important for the Divine Continent than the other four regions.

"So many years have passed. | can't believe that you are the second one who was able to figure out the secret of the Divine Sword

Cliff after the Sword Emperor.

You remindof him," the old man said with a smile.

Austin could tell by the look in his eyes that the old man missed those old days when he served the Sword Emperor.

"Well, Holy Heritor, I've got to go now,"

the old man said to Austin.

They were already in the Five Elements City.

"Would you like to cover and joinat the castellan mansion, sir?"

Austin offered.

"No. Thanks for the offer.

| live at the Fortune Alley, which lies to the west of the city. If you have time, you can cover and have a chat with me," the old

man said with a laugh.

Then he disappeared in the alley which was to the west of the city.

Austin stared at the old man's back, as he vanished before his eyes. He was lost in thought.

'If this elder has seen the Sword Emperor earlier, he must have lived for a long tand must be a very powerful cultivator.

But he chose to live quietly in the Five Elements City. He isn't after wealth or reputation.

Perhaps, in this world, there are many real masters like this elder. They lead a peaceful life and don't pursue fortune or status.

Perhaps, any person here, who looks like a common citizen, is a top cultivator. You never know!"

Austin brooded in silence.

Then he returned to the castellan mansion with his companions.

"Austin, the royal family of the FlKingdom seems to have taken sactions against our holy land recently,"

Rahul said to Austin the moment he found him alone in the hall.

"Really? What have they done?"

Austin asked, his eyes turning sharp.

"Recently, the royal troops of the FlKingdom could be seen near the Fire City, the River City and the Five Elements City.

Upon that, I've heard that the royal family of the FlKingdom has issued orders secretly.

They wanted all the other cities inside the kingdom to be cut off from relationships with the Fire City, the River City and the Five

Elements City. They forbade people to do business with the people in the three cities.

Besides, all the citizens of the kingdom are forbidden from entering the Fire City, the River City and the Five Elements City.

If anyone doesn't follow the orders, he will be charged with treason and even executed.

These days, we've got fewer visitors to this city.

No people from other cities have chere.

Stimid common people in the city left secretly because they didn't want to get into trouble,"

Rahul replied.

"Well, it's tto take back the power from the royal family,"

Austin snorted coldly.

A thousand years ago, the FlKingdom was originally a subsidiary of the FlHoly Land, and it was completely under the

control of the latter.

After the destruction of the FlHoly Land, the royal family of the FlKingdom sided with one of the three prominent clans—

the Ji Clan and becthe subsidiary of the Ji Clan.

"I think the people of the Ji Clan is behind all this.

Otherwise, the royal family of the FlKingdom doesn't dare to challenge our holy land publicly.

Well, this time, | will take control over this kingdom," Austin said.

A cold light flashed in his eyes as he thought over everything what they had decided.
