The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Four people stood at the entrance to a valley with hesitation written all over their faces.

"Do you think we should go inside and meet these people? | heard that there are members of the royal family inside, with Bruce and Graham in the lead. Should we? Should we not? We have several secret manuals about martial arts with us. What if Graham and Bruce give us a hard tand force us to give them those secret manuals? On the other hand, if we don't join them, we might have to face the nine masters of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom alone. In that case we would be killed instantly because we don't stand any chance of defeating cultivators at the Sky Realm," Dewey pondered with a troubled look on his face.

The remaining three of the group were Maria, Iris and Anna.

Since the four had discovered smartial skills inside, they had wasted no tin leaving the Emperor Library to avoid the members of the royal family.

Recently, they had heard the news of the nine cultivators at the Sky Realm who were from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom and were slaying warriors of the Violet Orchid Empire.

Therefore, they had agreed on joining the group of cultivators from the Violet Orchid Empire to survive.

But when they arrived at the valley where this group was staying, they cto know that Bruce and Graham had becthe leaders of this group. The four wavered in their decision now.

After all, they had offended the members of the royal family inside the Emperor Library. They were unsure and worried that these people would get back at them and force them to hand over the secret manuals about the fifth-grade or sixth-grade martial arts.

None of the four was willing to give up those manuals since they meant a lot to them and would help them immensely.

However, Bruce and Graham had a cultivation base at the Sky Realm, while Dewey, Maria, Iris, and Anna were all at the Earth Realm.

It was impossible for them to knock down such powerful opponents.

As a result, the four were in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

"Got any ideas?" Dewey asked his friends, pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Stop acting like that. It's so annoying." Maria whined at his incessant pacing and anxiousness.

"Where is Austin? If he was with us, everything would be okay," Iris cut in with a sigh.

She was somehow, dependent completely on Austin. She had a feeling that they would be safe when he was around.

"I think we'd better go into the valley.

If we meet the nine martial artists from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, we're going to be as good as dead.

Although we have had a conflict with the members of the royal family inside the Emperor Library, | don't think they will put us down. After all, we have powerful enemies in common.

Besides, there are many disciples from other sects with them. We have got nothing to worry about. We got our treasures and didn't do anything wrong. | don't think they would dare to take our things away in public," Maria voiced out her opinion after musing for a moment.

"You have a point.

Fine. Let's get inside.

The worst case scenais that we're going to go up against members of the royal family.

| don't think they'll have the guts to hurt us in front of others. Besides, what more could happen?" Dewey agreed with a nod.

Both Iris and Anna didn't have any thoughts about the matter. They acquiesced in Maria and Dewey's decision.

The four then walked towards the entrance to the valley.

There were several young cultivators from the Violet Orchid Empire lurking near the exit to keep a lookout. The moment they caught sight of the four, they recognized them. They turned up and greeted them before letting them in graciously.

All things considered, they had just got four more pairs of hands in their fight against the nine masters at the Sky Realm from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.

When the four entered the valley, they saw a bunch of people in the open field. About every two or three of them were staying together.

There were several tents in the valley. It looked like a temporary stronghold of the cultivators of the royal family.

Dewey and the three girls saw Leo, Caden, Wilson, Garret, and Symon, as well as ten young people in black who were giving off a creepy air.

Showing no emotions on their faces, the four headed towards the open field where other warriors of the Violet Orchid Empire were roaming around and found a clean spot to rest.

As soon as they reached the field, someone from the royal family spotted them.

He immediately filled in Bruce and Graham about their presence.

Bruce and Graham were sitting cross-legged in meditation under a tree about a few hundred meters away from their tents. When they heard about the arrival of four new faces, they looked in the direction of the field.

The duo recognized the four newcomers immediately. 'They were with Austin in the Emperor Library, ' they thought.

Bruce and Graham glanced at each other and stood up.

The warriors of the royal family had broken the energy shield which guarded the Emperor Library with tremendous efforts.

Just as they were about to get the treasures inside the palace, these ten wicked young men which included Austin and his companions had sneaked inside and took away several secret manuals about martial skills. They were thieves to Graham and Bruce.

The two hated these intruders, with their hatred at Austin going several notches higher. After all, he had gotten most of the high- grade secret manuals.

Bruce and Graham felt like their treasures had been stolen. They couldn't let it go so simply.

They had fought against the three cultivators of the Sky Realm from the Ghost Sect several times, but they couldn't bring them down. As a result, they were furious and intended to take it out on Austin and his crew.

They couldn't suppress their anger anymore at the sight of Dewey, Maria, Iris, and Anna. The two stormed towards the four, followed by the remaining members of the royal family.

Soon they had surrounded them.

"You four, stand up! Tellwhere Austin is," Graham ordered sternly.

And at the stime, an overbearing burst of vital energy gushed out of his body and hit at the four.

They only had the cultivation base of Earth Realm, and undoubtedly could not stand such a blast.

All of a sudden, they felt like they were being pressed under a huge mountain and were unable to move. What was worse, they started to have difficulty breathing normally and couldn't activate their vital energy. A few minutes later, their faces turned red.

Overwhelmed by this violent vital energy blast, Dewey somehow managed to take a deep breath. Once he felt better, he berated in an exasperated tone, "What are you doing? You've gone too far." "Really? | don't think so. You annoying brats dared to steal our treasures.

Tell me, where is Austin hiding? And turn in all the things you got from that palace," Graham responded sternly, with another surge of vital energy force emerging from his body and overwhelming the four.

Dewey and the three girls couldn't take it anymore. They stepped back several steps, and as for Iris and Anna with even lower cultivation bases, blood had seeped out from their mouths now.

As the four's faces turned deathly pale, their vital energy forces seemed to be suppressed, and they had trouble even lifting their fingers.

They hadn't expected that Bruce and Graham would be so fearless and embarrass them in front of the others.

The ten wicked young cultivators from the Ghost Sect joined them.

Austin was the only one who had reached the third floor in the Emperor Library. Everyone knew clearly that the most valuable secret manuals about martial arts had been hidden on the third floor and believed that Austin was much more likely to have gotten his hands on them.

Considering the fact that the secret manuals on the second floor were all about the seventh-grade martial arts, they speculated that the ones about the eighth-grade martial arts would be on the third floor.

For the cultivators in the Violet Orchid Empire, eighth-grade martial arts skills only existed in legend and were never seen.

They were convinced that a person who had mastered the martial skills of that grade could rule the entire Violet Orchid Empire.

Therefore, Bruce, Graham, and the three cultivators of the Sky Realm from the Ghost Sect, all wanted to know Austin's location.

That was also why Graham and Bruce were forcing Dewey and the three girls to tell them where Austin was regardless of the presence of so many warriors from the Violet Orchid Empire.

The two only had one thought in their mind and that was to find Austin and take the secret manuals about eighth-grade martial skills from him.

At this point, Austin was standing in front of the valley. He had sensed what was going on inside the valley through his spiritual sense.

He sneered in contempt.

‘Looks like Bruce and Graham are dying to know my location, ' he thought.
