The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Nonsense! Master Li is famous in the South Continent of the PrMartial World. He has been able to study the technique of Circulation of Vital Energy. Even the leader of the alliance admires him! How can he be wrong?" the Holy Daughter of the New Moon Sect told Isis.

"But really, there is no sign of the pervert here." Isis once again looked around carefully and ended up disappointed.

"I guess it's possible that he hasn't cyet. Or, maybe he has changed his appearance and is hiding in the crowd," the Holy Daughter of the New Moon Sect suggested innocently.

Hearing the words of the Holy Daughter, Isis's eyes brightened. She spoke with determination, "Yes, the little thief is now in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. He is hated by everyone. He wouldn't dare to show his face.

He must be hiding in disguise in the crowd that is around here." "Master Li said we will get to see him here. Let's keep quiet and watch carefully. He will give himself away when he sees us." The conversation between the Holy Daughter and Isis was being held in isolation as it was guided by a spell. The people nearby knew that both of them were talking, but they couldn't hear what they were saying.

However, Austin with his spiritual sense was able to hear what they were talking about. He was standing at a short distance from them and observed them.

The Holy Daughter and Isis took out two colorfully embroidered futons and laid them in front of their beautiful sedan. They looked around carefully and sat down cross-legged.

The Holy Daughter closed her eyes but Isis did not do so. She looked around from tto time.

Austin wondered if they were there to find someone or did they arrive to understand the Fire Stela.

He didn't want to give himself away before them unless he was sure about the intention of their arrival. ...

"Hey! Miss Wang, what a small world! | can't believe that | got a chance to meet you here!" Just as Austin was lost in his thoughts, a magnetic voice fell into everyone's ears. It was coming from far away.

Everyone turned to look at the one who spoke. They saw a beautiful man in the distance. He was high up in the air and was approaching them from afar.

The man was tall, stately and handswith a bright smile on his face. Every step he took, made him look extraordinarily graceful and refined.

"It's Mr. Gold Hand from the Magic Hand Sect!" Someone in the crowd was quick to identify him and started to scream before the man ccloser to the platform.

"My, my! It is the Holy Son of the Magic Hand Sect!" Austin's heart skipped a beat. It shocked him that the man turned out to be the Holy Son of the Magic Hand Sect.

Mr. Gold Hand landed directly in front of the Holy Daughter of the New Moon Sect and Isis. He greeted them in an elegant manner and courtesy.

Among the people on the platform, a few of them were young women. He seemed to have caught the attention of all the females present there.

These females stared continuously at Mr. Gold Hand in a bewildered manner. Their faces flushed with each passing moment. Even their breathing becirregular. They were captivated by his charm.

The Holy Daughter and Isis slowly stood up to greet him.

Though Mr. Gold Hand was very enthusiastic to meet them, the Holy Daughter of the New Moon Sect seemed like she couldn't care less. Neither did she speak much nor did she seem to be in awe of his presence.

"Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch from the Sky Sect are here!" Suddenly, someone cried out in surprise, breaking away all the attention that was on Mr. Gold Hand.

Ten figures approached like they were ten rainbows. They had strong vital energy force and flew from afar towards the platform in just a few moments.

In the blink of an eye, all of them were on the platform.

... ... Hardly had those ten figures landed when other cry caught everyone's attention.

"The Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect has cas well!" Someone shouted after the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch from the Sky Sect had landed.

A giant bird was gliding from far away towards the platform. The outspread wings of the giant bird were a few hundred meters long. People were amazed by its size and power. It had attracted everyone's attention.

The giant bird too landed on the platform. Its huge wings started to blow up strong whirlwinds on the platform, making the other cultivators launch their bodily movement skills to avoid being blown off the platform.

Soon after the giant bird landed, four people jumped down from its back.

They were the Holy Son and the three principal disciples of the Ghost Puppet Sect.

"All of them are important figures belonging to the big sects. It is rare to see them together. | can't believe that all of them have cto attempt the Fire Stela this time." "What is so special about the Fire Stela?" "How can it attract so many cultivators and even the big shots from the big sects?" Sof the other cultivators present there had started thinking and discussed quietly. There was a buzz in the crowd as all of them were surprised by the presence of such prominent people there.

After the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch from the Sky Sect landed on the platform, the tall, thin young man who was leading them, took out the jade slip and laid it flat on his palm.

The jade slip immediately started to radiate and gave off white light.

"Here it is!" Upon seeing the white light, the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch felt a boost of spirit.

The tall and thin young man unleashed a strong vital energy force with his palms, and the jade slip jumped up in front of him. It started to point towards a man in the crowd.

The man at whom the jade slip was pointing was none other than Austin! "He is Austin!" One of the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch cried out in surprise at once.

When Austin realized what had just happened, he couldn't believe his eyes. He had not expected this to happen. He had put on the Appearance-transforming Clothes in order to change his appearance and had been successful till now. Yet the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch were able to catch him despite the change in his appearance. It amazed as well as shocked him.

The Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch scattered around in a fan shape formation and surrounded Austin. They took their positions and didn't want to leave any chance for Austin to escape.

"It's him! He's Austin!" Isis from the New Moon Sect stood up and glared at Austin upon hearing his name. She had been waiting to get hold of him too! The expression on her face was like she would swallow Austin in one gulp. There was contempt and fury in her when she saw him.

The Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect, who was staring at Austin with cold dead eyes, began to float towards Austin.

"So, this man is Austin!" Mr. Gold Hand, the Holy Son of the Magic Hand Sect, also seemed to be very interested in Austin. His eyes were fixed on Austin as he observed him from head to toe.

"Marsh, you... Are you really Austin?" As soon as Zack realized that the man beside him was Austin, he was stunned. He didn't believe what he was seeing.

He had heard about Austin many times. But seeing the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch of the Sky Sect clooking for him was another thing. To see those men surrounding him and Austin scared him to death.

His cultivation base was only at the medium stage of Imperial Realm. He was no match for these extremely strong and powerful men.

The Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch were all in the Master Realm. Just by releasing a breath of their vital energy force, they had made his chest stuffy and clogged his blood.

After staying stunned for a moment, Zack cback to his senses. He had to act quickly, so he took Sawyer's hand and tried his best to dodge the force unleashed by the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch.

Austin felt a little disappointed. Now that these people were here, it would not be possible for him to have a chance at understanding the Fire Stela this time.

He unleashed the vital energy force in his body and tried to use the Thunderbolt Movement Skill to escape.

At the stime, he connected his consciousness to the city model. When the twas right, he would be sent into the City.

"Look, the light on the cliff is shining. It's tfor the Fire Stela to open." Just as Austin was ready to escape, the crowd on the platform becrestless. There was chaos as everyone was distracted by the man's words.

All of them couldn't stop themselves from looking at the cliff. The heads turned in that direction and their eyes were fixed to what they saw.

The obscured sun stone carved in the middle of the cliff suddenly burst out with a dazzling gold light and broke out of the cliff.

Hanging above the platform, it radiated a hot golden light and was shining fiercely. It becintolerably hot.

All of a sudden, it felt like a hot summer day on the whole platform. The heat waves made everyone feel terribly hot.

Every one present there began to sweat profusely. The light and heat was making it unbearable.

As the temperature rose higher and higher, the sky above the platform turned red and the heat wave swept through half of the sky.

The huge, red sun hung silently in the sky.

Appalled by such a situation, everyone felt that their bodies were becoming weak. Exhaustion due to dehydration seemed to have overtaken them.

The influence of the vital energy in their bodies had also been greatly suppressed. Under such high temperatures, the vital energy present in the human body could only be brought into play about 30 to 40 percent. The heat was affecting all of them badly.
