The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Just save it. I'm not interested in them anyway," Austin responded coldly.

Since he had gotten what he wanted—the Lightning Sword, he didn't want to waste any more tthere.

Cupping his hands, Austin bid farewell to the shopkeeper and walked out of the store.

Austin's response left Ronald stunned. As he snapped out of his daze, the vindictive look appeared in his eyes.

"Stupid poor thing. You're dead!"

Ronald murmured viciously, winking at Sterling who was standing beside him.

Understanding what he meant, Sterling immediately left the store to follow Austin.

Upon seeing that, the shopkeeper heaved a sigh.

Had Austin stayed in the store, he could have protected him to safety. But since he had stepped out of his shop, he couldn't do

anything about it anymore.

There was a rule in the store: the staff must not get involved in the personal matters of their customers outside the shops.

The shopkeeper was very aware of that one, so he just let the situation slide, no matter how grave he knew it was.

After Austin took his leave, he unleashed his spiritual sense to check what was going on back at the shop.

He sensed Ronald's actions and heard his words.

He also knew that Sterling, who was at the medium stage of Master Realm, was tailing after him.

In fact, even before he left the store, Austin had already guessed that Ronald wouldn't let him go that easily.

Anger soared in his heart as he realized that he had done nothing wrong, and the situation was unfair.

He never unjustly provoked others.

But if others messed with him, he would make them pay a heavy price.

‘Sterling is just a cultivator at the medium stage of Master Realm, ' he thought in contempt.

After a while, Austin settled with a decision.

"You want to take my life? Let's wait and see who is gonna get killed, ' he snorted inwardly.

Austin headed straight towards the gates of the city.

Half a day later, he left the city.

He leaped and flew towards a mountain on its outskirts.

On the mountain range, a remote forest rested. Austin decided to settle deep in the woods.

Sterling had been tracking Austin since the latter had gotten out of the Thousand Weapons Pavilion.

He looked around and saw no sign of anyone except for his target in the forest. Upon thinking it was an excellent chance to take

down the young lad, he menacingly got excited.

"Brat, stop!"

Using his bodily movement skill, Sterling stood in front of Austin in a flash and blocked his path.

"You were being so perky just because the shopkeeper had your back, huh?

Well, now that he's not here, you're going to answer to it," Sterling boasted.

He stared at Austin with a playful, defiant look on his face.

It seemed like he was waiting for Austin to get flustered and kneel down to plead for his life.

He had reached the medium stage of Master Realm, while Austin was only at the medium stage of Imperial Realm. It was apparent

that his cultivation base was much higher than his opponent's.

For him, Austin was just a mere weakling who was no match to him. That was why he acted so arrogantly presumptuous.

While Sterling thought so much of himself, Austin just flashed a smirked--much to the former's annoyance.

"Is that so?

You think | would cry and beg you to letgo?

Perhaps you will be the one crying and kneeling before me,"

Austin snapped back with an indifferent expression.

"You don't fear death?"

Sterling was surprised at his calm reaction. He had imagined that Austin would panic.

However, the lad looked at him with his nonchalant eyes full of provocation.

'Did | scare the hell out of him that he has lost his mind?" Sterling wondered.

After thinking for a while, he was irked by Austin's challenging attitude.

"Fine. | will take your life instantly, you poor thing!" he shouted at Austin.

The next minute, an intense vital energy force emerged from his body and condensed on his right palm.

Instantly, a significant pattern of a starry sky materialized on his palm, and the stars shone like the real ones.

"Go to hell!"

As Sterling yelled on the top of his lung, the starry sky cat Austin. The stars were so bright and dazzling that anyone would

find it hard to withdraw their eyes off them.

Austin stretched out his right hand, and the Lightning Sword suddenly appeared. Without a word, he activated his Swift Thunder

Swordsmanship.

Bang!

A sword aura shot out as Austin wielded his sword.

The thunderbolt sword aura gave off luminous radiance while letting out an ear-splitting thunder sound.

Since he had reached the Minor Achievement Stage of Swift Thunder Swordsmanship, the sword aura he released was supposed to

move twenty times faster than sound.

And because the Lightning Sword could speed up the sword attack, the sword aura Austin had unleashed moved 25 times faster

than sound.

The sword lights shot out and formed innumerable thunder snakes, making it difficult for Sterling to spot the sword aura.

Austin was quite satisfied with the power of Lightning Sword.

‘Looks like this sword is worth 150, 000 superior vital energy crystals, ' he thought amusingly.

Boom!

The thunderbolt sword aura collided with the starry sky, creating a blaring sound that echoed in the entire forest.

Crack!

The starry sky was destroyed and vanished in an instant.

"What the hell?!"

Sterling was startled by what happened.

'l, a cultivator at the medium stage of Master Realm, has been defeated by a warrior who had just reached the medium stage of

Imperial Realm?

He broke through my Starry Sky Palm with only one move, ' he dreadfully exclaimed internally.

There was a considerable gap between the Master Realm and the Imperial Realm.

Sterling could even slay several opponents at the premium stage of Imperial Realm effortlessly--much more those who were just at

the medium stage of Imperial Realm.

'How could this boy defeatwithout breaking a sweat?' He was too shocked to even utter a word.

"Gnome, cout. Helpattack his spiritual soul so | can kill him quickly," Austin instructed the gnome.

With his spiritual sense, he had seen Ronald coming his way with his people.

‘Perhaps Sterling left ssigns so that Ronald could locate me, ' he surmised.

So, to make the situation easier for him, he planned to kill Sterling as fast as possible.

'When those people reach this place, things will get more difficult to handle, ' Austin thought to himself.

Upon receiving his message, the gncout of the Illusion Bead.

The second Austin activated the Demon-creating Skill, a spiritual demon materialized in Sterling's Soul Sea.

At the stime, he released twenty Spiritual Sense Flying Spears to attack his Soul Sea.

The gnformed several claws with his beast soul energy and controlled them to enter Sterling's Soul Sea.

Even though Sterling had reached the medium stage of Master Realm, his spiritual sense was weak.

Moreover, spiritual sense power was Austin's forte. There was no way Sterling could defeat him in that aspect.

Unlucky for him, he was under so many spiritual sense attacks.

That caused him to panic immediately.

The next second, he summoned his spiritual sense to guard his spiritual soul against the incoming attacks.

Austin then waved his Lightning Sword, and sword auras with thunderbolts hit Sterling's body.

Since his soul was restricted, Sterling had to release all his vital energy force to form a shield around him.

Bang!

The sword aura with the power of thunder and lightning destroyed the shield instantly.

Seconds later, dazzling lights flooded Sterling.

"What?! Nooooo!"

Sterling let out a frantic scream.

However, Austin was not affected by the desperate call.

Boom!

Sterling's body was cut into pieces by the sword auras.

The smell of blood filled the air, and the torn body parts fell to the ground.

Austin grabbed the falling Space Ring and put it aside.

He decided to take a look at it later on. For now, there was a much more critical matter he needed to attend to.

As Austin turned around and looked up at the sky, a dozen people cinto his view.

Since he was confident with the incoming combat, a wicked smile registered on his face.

Ronald crushing, leading the group behind him.

"Brat, here you are," he uttered arrogantly.

Ronald gushed at the sight of Austin, who was standing on the ground.

With a wave of his hand, his crew flew towards Austin.

"Rest assured, brat. | will not kill you right away. First, | will torture you to my heart's content," Ronald said in a resentful, vicious

tone.

He was the first one to land on the ground and stood before Austin.

A cultivator at the medium stage of Master Realm followed and stood next to Ronald.

Then, the remaining servants and four scantily dressed maids followed and joined them.
