Austin was in a terrible mess. His clothes were disheveled, his hair was sticking out on his head, and he struggled to keep his
balance. There were even sfaint blood stains on the corners of his mouth.
"Wow! A Heaven Realm cultivator is really someone you shouldn't underestimate!"
Austin smiled.
But the smile on his face soon twisted into a painful look as he gasped for air.
The clouds of dust had already subsided. Everyone on the area looked at Austin with their widened eyes as if they were looking at
a monster.
None of them could believe what they just saw. A cultivator like Austin who only reached the medium stage of Astral Realm just
survived an attack from a Heaven Realm cultivator.
He was safe and sound. He only had to sustain sminor wounds.
The mere fact that Austin was able to withstand such a powerful strike dumbstruck everyone with amazement.
Even the Tribulation Realm cultivators around the area weren't confident enough to take the vital energy palm thrown by Elder Kerr.
They were certain they would have been killed or gravely injured by the forceful palm attack.
At the stime, Elder Kerr exerted all the spiritual sense martial arts skills he had mastered and had finally destroyed the white
fire ball inside his Soul Sea.
But the price he had to pay was that a part of his spiritual sense had been burnt up by the fire ball.
He looked at Austin as qualm filled his eyes.
From the lesson he just got, he no longer dared to aim his attacks at Austin without careful consideration.
If Austin exerted the horrible skill once again, he would have to spend strenuous efforts to work everything out. He had no plans of
going through all of that again.
Austin was impressed by Elder Kerr as well.
A Heaven Realm cultivator was truly as strong as the legends said.
Whether it would be on the aspect of vital energy, spiritual sense, or cultivation base, a Heaven Realm cultivator would always be
much stronger than a Tribulation Realm one.
The Spiritual Sense Incinerating Skill had never failed Austin whenever he uses it to deal with Tribulation Realm cultivators.
It was his first tto use this spiritual sense martial arts skill in a fight against a Heaven Realm cultivator and he wasn't even able
to hurt Elder Kerr.
Austin took out an eighth-grade healing elixir and swallowed it as quickly as he could. It wasn't long before the elixir began doing
its work inside his body.
In a flash, his minor wounds had been cured without any remaining signs of them at all.
The others thought Austin was extremely luxurious to use such a priceless elixir to heal his minor wounds. But when the others
witnessed the magical effects of the healing elixir, greed began to creep on the corner of their eyes.
An eighth-grade healing elixir was a rare treasure for most of the cultivators. They would never take elixirs of such rarity unless
they were on the brink of dying.
What Austin just did, taking an eighth-grade elixir just to cure his minor wounds, was a complete waste if you would ask them.
But that also meant that he had plenty of the high level elixirs that he didn't care as much to use them in dealing with his minor
injuries.
Once this thought cinto their minds, greed started to burn in their eyes as they looked at Austin.
"What an arrogant guy!
He is stranger than | thought! Without any warning, he just cinto the Spring City and launched attacks without stating his
reasons! How ridiculous!"
"Yeah! You are right! | guess he must be the rumored spy working for the Heaven Palace and the demon race."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt
"We can't let him get away! We have to work together and catch him as soon as we can! We can then torture him for valuable
information. We could ask him who he is working for."
"Yes! Let's work together and catch him immediately!"
They were obviously just making up excuses to fight Austin.
What they really wanted, of course, was getting their hands on his high level elixirs.
The Heaven Palace and the demon race had already surrounded the Spring City for days. During the battle against them, many of
the cultivators inside the city had been gravely injured.
Healing elixirs were as rare as water in the desert.
Especially during such a crucial time, a high level healing elixir could save valuable lives.
Austin was an observant man and he immediately sensed what they were planning to do with him.
And he also knew well about the dilemma he was in. There were dozens of Tribulation Realm cultivators and one at the Heaven
Realm who he couldn't ignore.
If they worked together in fighting him, Austin knew his chance of winning the battle was very minimal.
The best answer to save him from the current situation was to run away immediately.
He had already made up his mind.
"Let everyone from the Veritable Demon Sect cclose to me!
We must all leave as soon as we can,"
Austin told Barker through his spiritual sense.
Barker was confused by Austin's words.
Surrounded by so many strong cultivators, it was quite impossible for them to run away even if they wanted to.
Although he didn't understand why Austin made such a decision under the current circumstances, he trusted Austin and decided to
follow his orders.
The fight between Austin and Elder Kerr totally stunned Barker. What he learned from the fight was that Austin was much stronger
than him.
Barker soon gave a hint to Dahlia, Faye, and the others from the Veritable Demon Sect. Once they received the message, they all
slowly walked towards Austin.
"Barker, don't forget that you are working with us. The Veritable Demon Sect is a member of the Southern Alliances Army.
As the commander of the Southern Alliances Army, | hereby declare that that suspicious guy is a spy working for our enemies! You
and the Veritable Demon Sect should join us in capturing him.
If you continue to support that guy, it will also mean as going against the Southern Alliances Army.
You and the Veritable Demon Sect will becwanted fugitives,"
said Elder Kerr. His sharp eyes had noticed that everyone from the Veritable Demon Sect was slowly moving towards Austin.
He thought that the Veritable Demon Sect was about to help Austin and work with him in the upcoming fight.
As soon as Elder Kerr saw what they were doing, he immediately yelled at Barker to warn him.
"Elder Kerr, you are so sly! | know your tricks. You are just trying to frme to turn the Veritable Demon Sect into everyone's
target.
As the commander of the Southern Alliances Army, you are a lot of things but just and fair.
During the battle against the Heaven Palace and the demon race, you only sent other sects to the frontlines.
The Sky Sect, however, always clate. They only arrived when the fights were about to end.
Look right here! Look at them! Every sect in here has suffered a lot in this battle. We have lost lots of our men and now most of us
are injured badly.
But how about the Sky Sect? Huh? How many men have you lost?
Everyone here all knows the answer. Well, what do you have to say about that, Elder Kerr?"
Barker said coldly. He no longer minded falling out with Elder Kerr at all.
"Barker, what the hell are you talking about?
Elder Kerr is a righteous man! Everything he does is for the greater good of everyone!
How could you speak of our elder in such manner?"
said one of the Sky Sect members angrily as he was infuriated by Barker's words.
Everyone from the Sky Sect was irritated by Barker's accusations.
The members of the other sects, however, just stayed silent throughout the exchange.
Because they all knew what Barker said was one hundred percent true.
"Elder Kerr, many of my men have been hurt badly.
As the commander, you haven't done anything to help us.
And you even threatened us and took away every healing elixir we had.
How could you do this to the Veritable Demon Sect when we're the ones who need the elixirs the most?
You have disappointed everyone from the Veritable Demon Sect. So, on behalf of the Veritable Demon Sect, | hereby announce that
we are no longer a member of the Southern Alliances Army,"
Barker said firmly.
Meanwhile, Austin was activating the transportation power of the City model. Simultaneously, through his spiritual sense, he told
the members of the Veritable Demon Sect not to exert their vital energy.
Then in a flash, all the members of the Veritable Demon Sect disappeared. They had all been transported into the City.
Austin then immediately flashed away for thousands of meters.
"Holy shit! Where did they all go? How could they just disappear in a split second?"
"Oh, no! That guy was able to get away!"
The sudden disappearance of the Veritable Demon Sect and Austin drew everyone in the area into panic.
Austin used Thunderbolt Movement Skill and instantly moved thousands of meters. He then immediately summoned the gnome
from the Illusion Bead telepathically through the spiritual sense.
The gnmoved with lightning speed. He appeared right next to Austin in the wink of an eye and used his teleportation ability to
communicate.
The space around them started to shake violently within minutes as both of them were together.
"Are you trying to escape young man? Not on my watch!"
Elder Kerr from the Sky Sect was furious by now so there was no chance that he would let Austin escape that easily without any
harm.
His vital energy force began to surge, and a dark blue light beam shot right out of his hand towards Austin.
This light traveled with such lightning speed that it broke the boundary of the space and made it to the back of Austin in an instant.
Austin was following right behind the gnand was just about to enter the void. His spiritual sense suddenly detected a sign of
danger.
His sharp spiritual sense detected it to be a dark blue light beam. Although it was thin as a hair, it surprisingly contained
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmformidable power.
Austin clearly understood that he would not be able to shield himself from this light beam with mere his vital energy force and
physical strength
Chances were maybe with the Slaughtering Sword, he probably would have given ssort of resistance or maybe even deal with
it.
But it was so fast that he didn't have even have the tto draw his sword out of the sheath, let alone attack something so
dangerous with it.
This dark blue light beam contained the energy of a cultivator of the Heaven Realm, but more importantly it traveled so inhumanly
fast that it was almost scary
and Austin had no tto defend himself.
"You little brat, this light beam of mine is powered by my spiritual sense.
There is no way that you could cope up with its speed while being at the medium stage of Astral Realm,"
Elder Kerr said hauntingly while looking at Austin with a monstrous satisfaction.
He was already picturing a dead Austin in his head with a gaping hole in his chest created by the light beam.
His blue light beam was a secret trick that he had been practicing and perfecting for many years.
He had been using it to ambush his opponents and even used this terrifying trick to kill someone of higher level- a task very
unlikely.
However Elder Kerr's eyes suddenly becwildly-opened with astonishment
as he witnessed the pure evil aura radiate from Austin
and then almost as if by switchcraft Austin's body turned into two pieces, then four.....
Instantly, ten Austins appeared in front of him, each looking exactly the sto the other one.
"Evil aura! | knew it! That he is a demon was always clear to me!"
Elder Kerr shouted in shock and sheer fury!
Ten Austins distracted his mind and disrupted his deep concentration.
He unleashed his spiritual sense to check all ten of Austin, but alas all Austins' powers felt exactly the same. There was no way for
Elder Kerr to tell one from another. It was the most confusing state.
The dark blue light beam was controlled by his spiritual sense, yet there were ten Austins now.
Elder Kerr was absolutely clueless now as the fiasco was created and had no idea who he should target.
"Ha-ha, Kerr! You will pay terribly for what you did today!"
Austin turned to stare at Elder Kerr with cold vengeful eyes.
Austin understood if it weren't for his demonic skill, he would had been pierced by that blue light beam today.
He could feel the evil intention of killing emitting from Elder Kerr.
"Demon, there is no way | let you go that easy.
Now!"
Elder Kerr shouted with a determined expression on his face.
Austin felt a sudden surge of vital energy force
and then the scary dark blue light beam exploded!
Austin knew he could not escape from it now
and he stepped forward. All ten Austins disappeared into the void.
Austin disengaged his demonic skills and ten of his replicas converged into one instantly.
