The Supreme God of Martial Arts

They had been refining the Ghost-devouring Flag for several years. The Altar Owner had mastered the skills required to manipulate the Flag during the process long ago. He made a formula to summon it, however, the Ghost-devouring Flag had not responded. It had never happened before.

But, the Altar Owner wouldn't give up. He made another formula with his hands, and then shot it toward the Ghost-devouring Flag.

Strangely, it remained motionless.

'What happened? Am | weak for some reason today?’ the Altar Owner asked himself.

Once again, the Altar Owner made a formula, hitting the Ghost-devouring Flag.

To his despair, the Flag continued to lie on the ground motionless.

Finally, they realized that something must be wrong with the Flag.

"Shit! Why does the Ghost-devouring Flag look like it's lost its spirituality and luster?" The Ghost-devouring Flag usually shone with black lights around its surface. Blowing a cold breeze, it occasionally produced sad and shrill cries, which terrified people and made them feel haunted by ghosts.

But now, the Ghost-devouring Flag was merely an ordinary flag. It created neither sound nor wind. In essence, it was dead.

"Something must be wrong with it!" one of them exclaimed.

They all began to panic.

"I have a hunch that something is off inside. Let's check it together with our spiritual senses," another proposed.

Even though all of them were in the premium stage of Earth Realm, they had practiced the first two levels of spiritual sense through ghost refining. Therefore, they had all gained spiritual sense. But, their spiritual senses were far weaker than Austin's.

All four of them had been involved in making the Ghost-devouring Flag and so they could make their way into the flag without difficulty. Immediately, they released their spiritual senses into the inner space of the Ghost- devouring Flag.

At that very moment, Austin was about to leave.

He sensed it as soon as the four spiritual senses entered the inner space. Austin could feel that the spiritual senses belonged to the four Ghost Sect disciples that he'd met in Ghost Valley.

The moment their spiritual senses entered the Ghost-devouring Flag, the four Ghost Sect disciples were shocked.

The inner space was empty and quiet. The evil souls and ghosts that used to dwell in it had disappeared. All they could see now were a man, a woman and a small unknown beast.

"What is going on here? There should be at least a few thousand souls and ghosts in the Ghost-devouring Flag! Why can't we see any of them now?" one of the men screamed.

"My Goodness! Why are they all gone?" another one exclaimed. They looked at each other in despair, without a clue at all.

Once again, they used their spiritual senses to search the inner space of the Flag, trying to find a ghost. But their senses found nothing.

There had actually only been a dozen ghosts in the Flag at first. But after Austin had refined five Spiritual Sense Flying Needles, he had manipulated them to attack, so the ghosts became his live targets.

Within a second, they disappeared under Austin's attack.

As the four disciples continued to think over what could have happened, they finally directed their attention on Austin and Violet.

"Anyone who is swallowed by the Ghost-devouring Flag will have their flesh melted and turn into a ghost within an hour. These two people have stayed in the Ghost-devouring Flag for a full day. How could they not be affected?" one person asked, confused.

"You're right. Look at them! They look like they're in perfect condition. How can it be?" another one added.

"Do you think that the thousands of souls and ghosts were all destroyed by these two people?" the third one asked in amazement.

"I'm afraid you might be right. For all these years, our team has devoted unlimited labor and time into collecting ghosts to make this precious Flag. But now, it's been destroyed by someone within one day! We must punish them! Let's attack their Soul Sea together right now! If their Soul Sea is destroyed, they will be trapped in the Flag for the rest of their lives! I've checked already and found that they're only in Earth Realm. They don't have any spiritual sense! They can't withstand our spiritual sense attacks!" Suddenly, all four strings of spiritual senses each turned into a thick black chain. It was icy cold and had a terrifying bloody sheen. Although they were only chains, they had the power to bring violent emotions of sorrow, desperation and hate to anyone.

The black chains gravitated toward Austin and Violet's Soul Sea, producing loud clangs when the metal crashed together.

It was a spiritual sense attack! Austin and Violet surely recognized it immediately.

However, based on the fluctuation of the spiritual sense from the chains, Austin could tell that the power of the combined four spiritual senses combined was far weaker than his.

So Austin roused his intent, summoning four Spiritual Sense Flying Needles, which flew toward the four chains.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! The needles hit the chains hard, causing them to suddenly explode, turn into ash and finally, disappear.

Soon they turned into ash and finally, disappear. Meanwhile, the four disciples in the cave couldn't help but tremble Meanwhile, the four disciples in the cave couldn't help but tremble as if they had been struck by lightning. Falling to the ground, they each began spitting up blood. It seemed that they were severely injured.

"How is this possible? That man's spiritual sense is so strong!" one of them said, shocked.

Inside the Ghost-devouring Flag, while Austin had shot the Needles, he had grasped Violet's wrist and said, "Let's gol” The light golden vital energy poured out of his energy meridian like a waterfall, rushing forward with great strength.

The strong vital energy that Austin released was full of masculine power. Once it went out, the darkness inside the space retreated quickly like it had been confronted with an invincible opponent. They were able to create a breach so Austin flew through it, pulling Violet along with him.

As they landed on the cave, the four disciples of the Ghost Sect could see only a flashing light ejecting out from the Ghost-devouring Flag. Suddenly, Austin and Violet appeared before them.

As soon as Austin got out, he could see how things were going on in the cavern as clear as day.

Not wasting any time, Austin grasped his superior sword on his way down. Before the four disciples could react, his sword waved level 4 sword intent and it was aimed directly at them. All of a sudden, the cave was full of sword projections.

Over thirty sword projections struck the four disciples.

Puff! Each of the disciples fell to the ground as the sound of flesh being pierced echoed around them.

Blood oozed from their bodies as they writhed in pain. One of the disciples’ left eye had been pierced.

"Arrrrrh! My eye!" he cried out.

Despite the disciples’ cultivation base being premium stage of Earth Realm, he didn't even get a chance to dodge the swords. Pressing down on his left eye, the disciple jumped for cover in the corner.

"Go! Go! Go! Put in some corpse generals to kill them!" a disciple said.

All four disciples were both terrified and in awe of how Austin had managed to hurt them all with a single blow.

One of them had been struck in the stomach. Fortunately, the sword hadn't struck him in a fatal position, so he would likely not die. But the wound was still large and had blood steadily flowing from it. Pinching his lips together, the disciple produced a sound that was inaudible to human beings.

Even though Austin couldn't hear it, he knew from the man's facial movements that he was summoning the corpse generals.
