The Supreme God of Martial Arts

After Murray left, Austin was still deep in thought.

If the steward hadn't told him the truth, he would have been practicing the martial arts with only the thought of improving his strength. He had no specific goal about what he should achieve.

But now, he finally figured out what he must do. If he wanted to take revenge, he at least had to reach the Earth Realm with his vital energy.

Braxton and Bryan were both at the beginning level of the Earth Realm. Aside from that, Braxton had Elder Luo whose cultivation base was at the advanced level of the Earth Realm.

Austin, on the other hand, was only at the seventh level of the Energy Gathering Realm. He still had a long way to go before he could reach the Earth Realm.

But there's only one challenge that Austin needed to overcome. For an Energy Gathering Realm cultivator to reach the Earth Realm, he had to make a big breakthrough which was more difficult than enhancing one's levels within the range of the Energy Gathering Realm.

With this thought in mind, Austin felt the urge to improve himself.

Now, nothing was more important to him than time and strength. Seize the day, seize the hour! It was the only way for him to reach his goal.

In just a second, Austin had finally made up his mind. He would start his crazy plan of practice from today.

Previously, in the hard mission room, Austin chose three places at the outer mountains of Grand Desolation Mountain to do the tasks.

At the outer mountains, aside from earning the crystals by finishing the tasks, he could also improve himself through the real combat.

So now that he was determined to further improve his vital energy, he decided to once again go to the outer mountains of Grand Desolation Mountain tomorrow.

At that night, he left a note for Evan.

On the next morning, Evan couldn't see Austin anywhere. Seeing the note, he assumed that Austin had already left to start his cultivation journey.

In the same residential area, there was a luxurious and superb house.

The house was grand and extremely spacious. It was painted in red with doors made of bronze. Even the door nail was as big as a bowl. At the gate, there stood two Kirin statues which looked extremely intimidating, adding dignity to the place.

Suddenly, an outer disciple was rushing towards the house, looking very anxious.

"Marvin! Marvin!" The outer disciple called out as he ran.

After a while, a handsome sullen-looking young man walked out from the house. He was Marvin.

"Stop fussing in my house! What are you freaked out about? If it isn't important, you better leave or I'll beat the shit out of you!" The outer disciple was startled, but he continued despite the threat,” | saw Austin leave the Sun Sect this morning. And it seems that he is going to the outer mountains of Grand Desolation Mountain." Marvin's eyes widened," He is going to the outer mountains of Grand Desolation Mountain?" "Yes, | saw it with my eyes. | can't be wrong," the outer disciple said firmly.

"He left Sun Sect?" After thinking for a while, a crazy idea popped into his mind and his eyes flashed viciously.

'God is on my side! That trash left Sun Sect at the right time. If | could kill him out of here, | can take the earth spirit fruits and vent out my anger!" he thought.

"That's great news! Perfect!" Marvin blurted out as he raised his eyebrows with joy.

Then he suddenly turned his head and fiercely said to the disciple,” Go find some reliable men with at least the strength of sixth level of Energy Gathering Realm!" "What do you need them for?" "Oh, you know what | want to do, so cut the crap and do what you are told!" Marvin said with a twisted face.

"Marvin, are you planning on killing Austin? You know that with his strength, he is not an easy target. Even Billy is no match for him." The outer disciple was flustered. The outcome of the fight between Austin and Billy shocked many other outer disciples.

"Just do as what | told you. | don't want to hear any more bullshit! Or do you think that I'm not a match for Austin either?" Marvin said impatiently,” Would you rather me finding these men myself?" Marvin's words boosted the disciple's confidence. Austin was indeed strong, but Marvin ranked fifth among the outer disciples.

Thinking of this, the outer disciple was sold about the plan.

"I'll do it right away!" Then, the disciple trotted out of Marvin's house.

"Austin, let me see if you can escape this time!" Marvin muttered with gritted teeth. His deep hatred towards Austin made him lose his mind. The only thought that lingered on his mind was to kill Austin.

But suddenly, another thought flashed in his mind.

"Hey, come back!" As the outer disciple was about to walk out of the gate, he heard Marvin call for him. He was confused for a while, but then he turned around and came back.

Marvin said with a cunning face," The plan on killing Austin will need one more participant. I'm not the only one who's after Austin's life." "Billy lost to Austin this time. He is a vengeful man and | bet he won't let it be like that. If he knew that Austin had already left the Sun Sect, he would certainly not let him go so easily. This way, we have another one to join our team.” "You help me to spread the news and make sure that Billy gets it." "Okay. That's a clever plan, Marvin!" the outer disciple flattered.

Outside of the Sun Sect, there was a road leading to the outer mountains of Grand Desolation Mountain.

It was not long before Austin embarked on this road.

Suddenly, five people popped out from a hidden place and watched Austin from not so far away. The head of the gangster had a cold face and he gazed at Austin's back and asked," Are you sure that is the Austin we're looking for? Did you look closely? Is he really the person that Raymond asked us to get rid of ?" "Yes. | already sent people to the Sun Sect to gather all the information. He is definitely Austin," the scout who stood beside the head of the group replied.

"That's good. He looks young and weak! Makes our job easy!" the head said with a sly smile.

Then he waved his hand and led the group to follow Austin stealthily.

After two days, Austin already came to the pass of the outer mountains of the Grand Desolation Mountain.

There were several buildings on the pass, and they formed a small market.

There were different stores in the market. Some were stores selling food, and there were inns, and stores that purchased all kinds of spoils from cultivators coming out of the outer mountains of the Grand Desolation Mountain.

The outer mountains of Grand Desolation Mountain were different from the Beast Mountain. The latter belonged solely to the Sun Sect and only the disciples from the Sun Sect could practice there.

In the outer mountains of the Grand Desolation Mountain, on the other hand, disciples from all sects could go there to practice.

There were also many adventurous mercenary groups who frequented the place. They either went inside to carry out tasks, or to kill diabolic beasts and gather precious plants or other treasures that they could sell for more fortunes.

After two days of travel on the road, Austin decided to stop at the pass and find an inn that he could stay in for the night.

In the deep of the night, the inn was deafening quiet.

It was perfect for Austin's meditation as he practiced the Golden Sun Scripture.

In another room, the five rough and hard-featured men sat in the middle.

The dim candlelight flickered and illuminated their faces, making their ferocious and bloodthirsty nature more hideous.

They were the men who followed Austin since he set out on the journey.

They saw him when he entered the inn to stay for the night, so they decided to also stay at the same inn to keep an eye on him.

After a short moment of silence, one of the men suddenly asked," Leader, when can we take the move? Isn't it easy for us to deal with such a fledgling disciple? Why should we wait for so long? He's in the next room now. Let's just go in there and finish him!" the man said impatiently.

The man who led the team was Matthew.

He was about thirty years old and at the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm. While the other four men were at the eighth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

Hearing this, Matthew laughed," When will you change your hasty manner? Of course, it would be a piece of cake for us to kill Austin. But there are too many disciples from different sects around here. | don't want to make a big deal out of it and attract too much attention. Austin is only an outer disciple, but Sun Sect is a big sect. If the leaders of the Sun Sect knew about it, I'm afraid there will be potential trouble for us in the future.” "The Blood Wolf Team had existed in the swordsman's world for decades. What keeps us stand for so long is more than just our martial skills, but also our cautious mind. Better safe than sorry. You should always remember that." "So, we should wait until he enters the outer mountains to carry out our plan of killing him." Hearing Matthew's analysis, the four men nodded in approval.

Meanwhile, in another inn, Marvin was sitting at the table with Lara sitting opposite him pouring his tea.

Several outer disciples with a high level of martial arts stood beside him.

"Is Billy here?" Marvin asked an outer disciple who stood aside.

"Yes, | just saw him together with a dozen of outer disciples. | saw them in the market outside." "Well, bad luck for Austin! | have a lot of trump cards to deal with him. | can't wait to see him die a miserable death this time. As soon as he enters the outer mountains, no matter how hard he cries for help, no one would hear him!" On the next day, as the first morning ray spread on the earth and all creatures came back to life, Austin already went inside the outer mountain alone.

He walked all day, over hill and dale. He crossed the high mountains and the thick forests, conquering numerous hilltops.

Austin walked silently in the quiet forest under the watchful eyes of the assassins hidden in the dark. They were full of vital energy within their bodies, ready to act at any time.

Unlike the Beast Mountain, the outer mountains of Grand Desolation Mountain not only had large numbers of level-one and level-two diabolic beasts, but also abundant level-three and level-four diabolic beasts. Moreover, some level-five diabolic beasts also occasionally haunted the place.

Austin had been to the outer mountains of the Grand Desolation Mountain several times for the practice before. And he was not totally ignorant of the dangers in the mountains.

With that knowledge, he trod more cautiously along the way.

When he practiced in the outer mountains of the Grand Desolation Mountain before, he had survived many life-and-death situations. But now that his cultivation base and vital energy had dropped immensely compared to the level he had before, he couldn't be too careful this time.
