The Supreme God of Martial Arts

About half an hour later, Josh suddenly made his move. He lifted his foot carefully and put it down on the golden path with extreme

caution.

With every step he took, he drew several array flags from his arms and then tossed them into the air. In a flash, those flags would

vanish into thin air.

Josh walked slowly as if he was in slow motion. He was wary of any possible dangers that might con his way. He couldn't be

more careful at that moment.

Moments later and he was already over thirty meters into the golden path. It was the longest distance all the warriors here could

cover so far.

"Well, | hate to say that, but this guy won't make it with that level of array skills. That's far from being qualified.

Ten more meters and he would be thrown out of the path, take it from me," said the man in the bead inside Austin's Soul Sea when

everything seemed to be going well.

Hearing that, Austin watched Josh more carefully. He becsomewhat intrigued, too.

Josh was still inching his way forward. He was adjusting himself before he took each step. As he pushed forward, more array flags

were flung into the air and disappeared.

Soon, he was about forty meters away from the crowd.

"Ha-ha, so far, so good, huh?" Lance gave a bright smile. "Looks like you are really our hope of getting through the golden path.

You truly are an extraordinary array expert," he said to Josh.

Lance was quite pleased with how things were going. He also didn't forget to butter Josh up by the way.

However, as soon as he had finished speaking, Josh's face changed color. Before anyone could see what might be the problem, the

array expert suddenly growled.

He instantly dragged two array flags out from his Space Ring and threw them out.

After a few moments of dead silence, everyone heard a loud explosion!

The skind of forceful and invisible power blasted from the center of the golden path. This tit was more overwhelming than

the previous ones. The golden light that cwith it blinded and stung everyone's eyes.

In his panic and fear, Josh applied the bodily movement skill and rushed out from the bursting golden light. That was a narrow

escape for a near-death experience.

Boom!

Behind Josh, the whole golden path was buried by the unstoppable killing intent and energy. The deafening sound that cwith it

made it seem like it was drowned by a tsunami.

"Alright then. Now it was clear that all the arrays in this golden path were set by saccomplished array masters from the

ancient times. Maybe we should never dream about challenging them head-on," Josh said after regaining his balance.

"If we still want to break the arrays, there might be only one way to do so. We need to destroy them by force and violence, simple

and primitive, but with low chance of success," he pointed out.

His face darkened as he spoke and beads of sweat streamed down his cheeks.

The rest of the warriors all stood there in horror. None of them could take their eyes off the golden path, where waves of killing

intent and deadly energy were still billowing. They tried to keep their fear at bay, but now it just enveloped them and had started

to clog their throats. If an array master couldn't get through the path, then would any of them stand a chance?

"Bloke, it's your chance now. Try and get near the golden path. Be quick!

Once you are close enough, | will give you my identity card which you could use to just go into it directly," urged the man in

Austin's Soul Sea.

Austin was also eager to take their chances at this point. However, he needed to know one thing from the man.

"Good. But here is the thing. Can | take one more person with me? Will your identity card protect the extra one as well?"

Austin asked him carefully. He needed to take Stacy with him as per their negotiation earlier.

"If it is just one person, | don't think it would be a problem. But you must make sure that you two would stay close to each other or

at least hold your hands together. If you don't do that, the arrays in this golden path would know that you are cheating and might

kill one of you,"

the man in the bead said in a heavy voice.

"I see." Austin nodded.

He tried to conceal the fact that he already began to hesitate.

Should he take Stacy with him or not? It would be such a big risk to take.

For a moment, Austin weighed the pros and cons of taking her.

Soon, he made up his mind and made the decision. He would take the chance and take Stacy with him.

After all, Stacy was kind enough to show him the way and offer him to find the Secret Valley with her together.

It was just the right thing to do to pay her back for her kindness. Also, it would be ungrateful of him to just leave her behind now

that they were one step closer to the Secret Valley.

As he made up his mind, Austin talked to Stacy through their Soul Sea.

"Here is the thing, Miss Ren. | might have a way of going beyond this golden path and into the palace.

And | may be able to take you along.

But the thing is, you might...have to hold my hand in the whole process. One of us, or worse, both of us might get killed by the

arrays once they find out that two people are getting through at a time.

What do you say?"

Stacy's eyes widened when she heard the suggestion.

She stayed still for a moment and didn't say anything. "You mean, there is still a way to get through this terrible path?" Stacy

replied after a long while.
