All of a sudden Austin killed the skinny man, much to the shock of all of the gathered Ghost Sect cultivators. After a stunned moment they all began to scream at once.
Altar Owner Lu? Austin was also stunned. He recalled that the members of the Ghost Sect who he had met at Valley Town had actually been sent by the thirtieth Altar Owner. And the last nof that man happened to be Lu. So, was the person he had just killed in fact the thirtieth Altar Owner? Then Austin burst into laughter.
"That's Austin. Hey, you guys, look. Isn't that Austin?" "That's right. It's Austin!" At the stime, sof the disciples of the Sun Sect, who were besieged by corpse soldiers and generals in the center of the Martial Arts Square, recognized Austin's face and called his nin a low voice.
Meanwhile, dozens of the Ghost Sect members had already waved their corpse flags ordering scores of corpse soldiers to lay siege to Austin and Violet.
Simultaneously, two or three corpse generals also swooped down on them.
Seeing their enemies’ moves, Violet chuckled while taking out a few corpse flags of her own. Then she began to wave the flags too.
Suddenly, hundreds of corpse soldiers gathered behind Austin and Violet rushed forward, blocking attacks from the other corpse soldiers.
Austin also opened a corpse nourishing bag which was belted around his waist, and twenty corpse generals lined up, ready for his orders.
Under the lead of his spiritual sense, the twenty corpse generals quickly jumped forward and besieged the other fifteen corpse generals in the Martial Arts Square.
Due to their superior strength in numbers, Austin's corpse generals quickly surrounded the fifteen corpse generals under the command of the Ghost Sect, and these generals soon found themselves at a disadvantage.
"Who the hell are you? Where did you learn how to control the corpse armies of our sect?" the members of the Ghost Sect shouted in offense, shocked by the twenty corpse generals which had been sent out by Austin.
However, Austin had no tfor explanations. He waved his arms slightly toward the members of the Ghost Sect.
Crack! Dozens of lightning bolts, thick as human arms, struck the members of the Ghost Sect fiercely and all at once.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll the members that were hit by the lightning streaks were knocked to the ground like kites with broken strings. As they fell into crumpled heaps, each of them turned into a mass of coal, smoke rising from their remains. The air becfilled with the stench of singed hair and burnt flesh.
After Altar Owner Lu, who was in the medium stage of the Mysterious Realm, had died, the strongest remaining members of the Ghost Sect were only at the primary stage of the Mysterious Realm.
Since Austin had already managed to refine the beast soul of the thunder unicorn, and possessed the Thunder Elixir, and had been absorbing natural thunder force for a while, his ability of controlling thunder and lightning was largely improved. Moreover, the thunder energy which was stored in the Thunder Elixir was quite abundant.
So none of the members of the Ghost Sect was able to dodge Austin's lightning strikes.
In a short while, Austin had dispatched all of the Ghost Sect members present with his fatal lightning force and Wind-commanding Skill which gave him both incredible speed and terrible powers.
Most of the members of the Ghost Sect had even failed to react to Austin's fast movements.
Still, there were a few members who responded quickly and commanded two hundred corpse soldiers to attack him.
However, the corpse soldiers were barely able to touch Austin because of his excellent bodily movement skill. What's more, Violet had also directed more than one hundred corpse soldiers into beating the other corpse soldiers back.
The first thing Austin did after he had killed all the members of the Ghost Sect was to wipe out the memories of their fifteen corpse generals and imprint his own spiritual sense mark on them. As a result, he had gained control over another fifteen corpse generals.
This meant that Austin now owned forty five corpse generals which were equal to forty five cultivators in the premium stage of Earth Realm! After placing the undead army into a corpse bag, Austin told Violet to gather all the corpse flags that remained intact with the smoldering bodies of the Ghost Sect members.
Meanwhile, he walked straight toward the disciples of the Sun Sect who were still standing on the Martial Arts Square blinking their eyes in astonishment.
Before Austin had appeared, more than a thousand terrified disciples of the Sun Sect were being guarded by the Ghost Sect members, and they had not dared to resist the Ghost Sect's dominion.
Moreover, they had overheard the conversations between the Ghost Sect members, that they were being captured by the Ghost Sect in order to refine them into corpse soldiers! Therefore all the disciples of the Sun Sect were scared to death. They could never imagine themselves being transformed into mindless ghoulish corpse soldiers! But then Austin had single-handedly slaughtered all the Ghost Sect members, and liberated their prisoners.
The disciples of the Sun Sect were terribly shocked, and unable to believe what had just happened. They blankly watched Austin walking toward them, as if he was skind of a god or a monster and they didn't know how to respond to him.
"Ha, Marquis, long tno see.
What a surprise that we meet again," Austin said this with a smile and walked directly to one of the Sun Sect disciples.
"What... what... Austin... you..." The man that Austin was talking to was Marquis, who ranked first among the Top Ten Disciples.
Now Marquis just stared at Austin with a dazed look. He tried to talk to Austin but was not able to utter a single word as if an invisible hand was strangling him.
So he just stood there, choking on his own tongue.
What Austin had just done really shocked him. Never before had he seen such skills or power.
After a long while, Marquis was finally able to take a hold of himself.
"Austin, how did you just kill them all? This is so unexpected. You've becvery powerful indeed." Austin nodded and then shrugged.
Austin's fhad spread all over the Violet Orchid Empire during his cultivation journeys. And Marquis had definitely heard of his achievements. Nevertheless, deep down Marquis had still refused to believe the stories about Austin.
However, after seeing with his own eyes what had just happened, Marquis finally realized that Austin had indeed reached a level that he could only dream of.
"Ha, Marquis, I'm flattered," Austin said with a slight smile, but not denying what Marquis had said either.
Marquis had still remained at the preliminary stage of Earth Realm as before, and hadn't made any progress this year.
"Austin, where did you learn how to control those monsters?" the sweet voice of a girl reached out to Austin.
A female disciple with bright eyes and graceful eyebrows was walking towards them.
Her nwas Lacey. He had met her previously, and remembered that she was a powerful outer disciple.
"Well, | learned this a while ago. Actually it's quite easy to learn," Austin said with an embarrassed smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, Violet had already collected all the corpse flags and had gained control of more than two hundred corpse soldiers. With the original corpse soldiers which they had, Austin and Violet were now able to control more than three hundred corpse soldiers.
"My fellow apprentices, | have cto Sun Mountain at this tto fight against the Ghost Sect and its members.
Marquis, you are well aware of the situation facing the Sun Sect right now.
In fact, | need a favor from you guys," Austin said loudly to the Sun Sect disciples.
Meanwhile, at the top of Sun Mountain.
As Theon and all the Elders were talking about Austin, they heard a voice echo up from the bottom of the mountain. The sound rose to a deafening pitch and thousands of Sun Sect disciples heard it clearly.
"Damn it. Those bastards of the Ghost Sect have gone too far. Sect Leader, why are you still hesitating right now? Just give the order and let us fight them to the death!" one of the Elders, whose face had already turned red with fury, said when he heard the sound.
"Elders, are you all in favor of fighting them now?" Theon glanced at the Elders one by one. Although he was the Sect Leader, he still had to listen to the advice of all the Elders when it cto matters that concerned life and death.
"Sect Leader, the Ghost Sect is an evil sect. We have always considered ourselves as disciples of a decent sect. We can never join those vicious people.
Under circumstances like this, | think we must fight now.
Even if we all die in battle, we will die with honor. Then we can meet the ancestors without guilt." All the Elders gave an amazingly consistent proposal. Even the Stewards agreed to entering battle.
After all, the Ghost Sect had always been regarded as an evil existence by the cultivators of all the other sects in the Violet Orchid Empire. When the nof the Ghost Sect was brought up, the disciples of the decent sects would start to curse. Deep down the populace had already begun seeing the Ghost Sect as the embodiment of evil.
"All right. Since we have all agreed to fight them, then let's cast our lot and battle them!" Finally, Theon had made up his mind to fight.
"All villains of the Ghost Sect, hear this: Although we are not a powerful sect, we are still a decent and upright sect in the Violet Orchid Empire. And we will never surrender to evil beings like you! You want a fight? Then let's fight!" Theon used his vital energy to project his voice to the bottom of the mountain.
After a while.
"Ha-ha-ha, perfect! That's perfect! I'm tired of your simpleton reasoning. Since you want to play the 'holier than thou' game, I'll let you face the end of that act.
None of you will get away this time. I'll kill you all!" It was easy to tell that the man who was speaking was trying very hard to suppress his anger.
