Austin controlled the City with his mind. He had to transport himself out of the City as soon as possible.
With that in mind, the next moment, he found himself at the bottom of the river.
The river was moving and the underwater currents started flowing towards him with great energy.
Austin had to use his defensive tactics to protect himself. He exerted his vital energy force and formed a defense cover around his
body. This cover would isolate his body from the water completely and would not be affected by the strong currents that were
advancing towards him.
After setting up a defense cover, Austin made his spiritual sense spread out and rise up the river.
His spiritual sense made him aware of the presence of thirteen figures. These figures were about six kilometers away from where
Austin was. And they were all guarding the river cautiously.
'It looks like they are not ready to give up until they chaseout or get hold of me, *
Austin said to himself, with a bitter smile.
A Master Realm cultivator could easily cover the distance of six kilometers by his spiritual sense, only if he had a spiritual sense
force strong enough to outdo the rivals.
So, Austin hid himself at the base of the river and started moving in the opposite direction.
One day had passed staying low and he had moved about a dozen kilometers under the water.
Sensing that it was safer now, Austin raised his head out of the water and breathed the air heavily.
He pulled himself out of the water. Austin stood beside the river and looked back, his gaze turning sharp. He was not happy to
retreat this way but he had no other option left.
'One day | will be back and | will be so strong that you will be the one trying to escape from me!" he vowed to himself. He had
made up his mind to cback and teach these people the lesson of their life.
Taking a deep breath, Austin started his bodily movement skill and flew into the sky. Soon he had left the river far away. . .
Once he reached a safe place, Austin spent a few days pondering upon what would be his next step. He had been hesitating on the
thought, whether he should return to the Sunset Mountain and practice the Beast Energy-extracting Skill.
He was aware that he could practice well there because inside the Sunset Mountain, there were innumerable demonic and diabolic
beasts.
But the strongest ones were only at the tenth level and only at one incident he had witnessed a beast stronger than that.
The demonic and diabolic beasts, at the ninth or tenth level, were indeed the strongest ones present among the Sunset Mountain.
They were the ones at the top of the food chain. However, they were lesser in number.
Demonic or diabolic beasts that were at lower levels were more in number in the Sunset Mountain. One could easily find beasts at
level five, six or seven.
But these beasts that were at lower levels were useless for Austin's practice of the Energy-extracting Skill.

Austin only had the last two Magical Beast Elixirs and they were quite precious. If he used up the two Magical Beast Elixirs, there
would be none left with him. He had to use them carefully and at an appropriate time.
Austin wanted to make full use of the last Magical Beast Elixirs!
Thinking a lot over these things, Austin cto a conclusion that it was not the best thing to return to the Sunset Mountain and
practice his Beast Energy-extracting Skill.
At present all that he needed, was to find another place where there were stronger demonic and diabolic beasts.
As he had to move ahead, Austin thought it would be better if he changed his appearance using his Appearance-transforming
Clothes.
Once he put it on, he looked like an ordinary cultivator who was aged around twenty, stood at a medium height of five feet and had
tanned skin.
In disguise, he traveled all around, within the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. He kept asking other people and collected
information about the habitats of strong demonic and diabolic beasts.
By now, he cto know about several places. But the situation in those places was similar to that of the Sunset Mountain.
He also cto know that sof the beasts there were even weaker than the beasts found in the Sunset Mountain.
Austin was disappointed by the result of his research. . .
The only saving grace was that while he was collecting information about the habitat of those beasts, he had decided to start
working upon the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship simultaneously.
He concluded that it was best if he learnt it when there was thunder and lightning.
So, Austin kept waiting for appropriate weather.
Already it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer. He was aware that the season of thunderstorm was also
approaching soon.
Austin believed that such days with thunderstorm would be many. He just needed to wait for the right opportunity.
And one such day seemed to have cto fulfill Austin's wish.
It was one of those days when Austin was going ahead on his journey. Suddenly high up in the sky, black clouds gathered quickly.
There were countless flashes of lightning, which looked like spider webs. The lightning kept appearing and disappearing among the
black clouds.
Crack! Crack!
Dazzling beams of white light struck the sky like sharp swords, stabbing through the black sky!
When the lightning struck, it was all silver white under the sky.
Then the sound of thunder would be heard, as if the gods were enraged. Boom! Boom! The ground seemed to tremble by the fury.
Soon it started to pour. First it was slow but in moments the rain got heavier and heavier.
Together with lightning shining in the sky, the sound of thunder was heard continuously. It was terrifying but not for Austin.
Rather, it was just what he had been waiting for from so many days!
Austin was overjoyed. Immediately he started his bodily movement skill and rushed to that area where there was the dance of
thunder and lightning. He moved so fast that only his shadow like a flash could be seen by others.
As he held his sword, Austin's sword aura spread out fiercely.
His whole body seemed to have turned into a sharp sword-light. In a few breaths, he was able to fly into the exact area of the
lightning and thunder.
Crack!
A flash of lightning struck the sky and tore the black clouds. It looked like a wounded snake quivering and struck Austin.
Starting the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship in high spirits, Austin wielded his sword high. He raised his hand high towards the
lightning with the sword-light.
Boom!
The sound echoed as the sword-light and lightning hit each other.
The light that was given off by the collision was as bright as the sun!
Crack! Crack! The whole space was filled with the crackling sound.
The next moment, dozens of bolts of lightning moving like snakes ripped the black and thick clouds and darted towards Austin.
Austin stomped his feet strongly and thousands of sharp sword auras burst out and confronted the lightning.
The lightning struck both Austin's body and sword.
Puff!
In a moment, all of Austin's clothes were torn. It looked like he was dressed in shreds. Then the clothes got burnt and scattered
around. It looked like so many butterflies fluttering in the sky.
At the stime, countless bolts of lightning rose and went around Austin's body. The sword aura and the lightning were
intertwining with each other.
Seen from afar, it looked like Austin was a god of thunder and lightning. All along his body, there emerged flashes of sword aura
and the lightning.
Finally the thunder and lightning stopped and the night fell silent again. .
During the next few days, there were more thunderstorms as summer had started.
Austin, of course, was all prepared. He was not willing to let go of any such opportunity easily.
As long as he found such weather, he kept practicing his Swift Thunder Swordsmanship, And he planned to do so until the
thunderstorms stopped completely.
Ten days later, in sisolated place in the mountains.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. It started raining heavily. The whole space seemed to shake with intensity. It was really a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmviolent thunderstorm.
A figure appeared in the sky exactly when lightning struck. He gave out strong sword-light, which seemed to flow together with the
lightning.
It was none other than Austin.
As twent by, the area covered by Austin's sword potential beclarger. One hundred meters. Then two hundred meters...
When the sword was waved in the sky, it was like whistling of strong winds. It sounded like ten thousand horses galloping ahead
without any restraint.
The sword potential danced in all directions while it was totally controlled by Austin. The thunder intent was spreading out from the
moves of the sword as if it was fighting against the thunderstorm in the high sky.
Suddenly, a beam of brighter sword-light, as big as a gate, flew out from Austin's sword and merged together with the thunder
intent.
As it combined it seemed to rise up towards the black rumbling clouds in the sky.
Crack! Crack!
Dozens of bolts of lightning, thicker than the regular ones, were led down by Austin's sword forcefully.
Flowing along with the sword-light, the lightning was absorbed by Austin's sword. Instantly, the sword started giving off a much
stronger light.
Austin went on wielding his sword tightly. He was moving as swiftly as a shooting star. He was glistening as if he was covered by a
bright light.
The lightning passed through the sword and entered into Austin's body. It made Austin's body turn brighter and brighter. At that
moment, he looked exactly like a god from heaven.
After a little while, the lightning moved away again from Austin's body. It was absorbed by the sword again.
Holding the sword by both hands, Austin lashed it out in the air. Following it a deafening sound was heard. It was extremely loud,
as if thousands of troops were stomping on the ground in unison. Accompanying the great sound, there was the sword aura of the
thunderstorm. It flew out in a split second and the ground began shaking furiously!
Suddenly, a gully appeared in a small hill below Austin's body. It was formed probably due to Austin's sword aura. It was one
hundred meters wide and hundreds of meters deep. Though it was deep and dark inside the gully, dust and lightning could be seen
and loud explosive sounds could still be heard.
In a few moments, the explosive sounds died out. It was only the lightning that was still cracking in the gully. Everything had been
burnt and turned black inside the gully.
Austin stopped moving his sword and stood motionless in the sky. His long hair was fluttering in the wind and a sharp sword aura
was radiating out from his body.
'Well, | think | have reached the Minor Achievement Stage of the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship!
It is unbelievable that the Swift Thunder Swordsmanship has such great power!
Now | have another trump card in my hold, when fighting against the enemies! | am sure no one would look down upon my power
now!" He thought and felt proud of his achievement. The more people underestimated him, the more powerful he became.
