Austin summoned his Brutal Blast Fist. Sensing the blow, Kirkland released a stream of vital energy to form a vital energy wall, attempting to block Austin's fist strength.
"Bang!" Just as the strength of the Brutal Blast Fist was about to collide with Kirkland's vital energy wall, it exploded and shattered. Austin had used the power of his mind to destroy the shield. A swift and fierce blast wave swept across and grazed Kirkland's face.
Kirkland took a hasty step backward and avoided the blast center. He was horrified at the fierce explosion power produced from the invisible strength. Fortunately, he had sensed it in tand blocked it outside his body. The consequences would have been unthinkable if the invisible strength had reached Kirkland.
"Bang!" At this moment, a millstone-shaped fist was enlarging very fast in Kirkland's pupils. The attack had been so fast that even the air current felt strong and suffocating as it enveloped Kirkland's whole body.
‘Shit! Austin's Brutal Blast Fist had been a feign attack to distract Kirkland.
Now, the demon formed by the Demon-creating Skill was in Kirkland's Soul Sea. Plus faced with defending against the Brutal Blast Fist, his attention had been distracted. So Austin seized the opportunity to summon the ancient evil ape to launch a sneak attack.
Being extremely fast, the ancient evil ape took Kirkland unawares and pounded its lightning-quick fist to his chest.
Since the beast's strength was a level higher than Kirkland's strength, and the attack caught him by surprise, Kirkland managed to respond just as the millstone-shaped fist arrived at his chest.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHalf dead with fright, Kirkland's vital energy gushed out of his body and accumulated rapidly before his chest, attempting to block the beast's fist.
"Bang!" The ancient evil ape's fist was so powerful that it crushed Kirkland's defensive vital energy and slammed against his chest.
The sound of a few crisp cracks was heard.
Nobody knew how many of Kirkland's ribs had broken from the impact.
"Puff." Blood spurted from his mouth like a fountain.
Although his cultivation base had reached the Imperial Realm, he could barely withstand one stroke in this hand-to-hand fight.
Usually, even if a human warrior had reached a very high level of vital energy cultivation base, his flesh was relatively weaker as compared to that of demonic and diabolic beasts, except for humans who exclusively cultivated their bodies.
A deep dent was formed in Kirkland's chest and his body was thrown violently across the area, like a broken line kite.
He struggled to keep his balance in the air after being thrown dozens of meters. Kirkland's eyes widened when his senses indicated that he had been severely injured.
Meanwhile, Kirkland was at a disadvantage as he had spent almost half of his spiritual sense to deal with that spiritual sense demon before it slowly faded away and vanished.
A spiritual sense demon formed by the spiritual sense martial arts skill, Demon-creating Skill, could only last for a limited tand keep a limited level of strength in a rival's Soul Sea.
Austin had just learned the spiritual sense martial arts skill, so it was not in full force. It would be more powerful once he gained a deeper understanding of the Demon-creating Skill and a stronger spiritual sense.
Now, Kirkland was seriously injured and listless. Half of his spiritual sense had also been consumed in the fight.
After a brief consideration of the situation, Kirkland knew it was hopeless. If he fought any further, it would cost him his life.
So, he circulated the remaining vital energy and dodged behind the Sect Leader of the Ghost Sect and said angrily to him, "Cavan, It's all your fault.
| told you to launch an attack after the corpse demons had finished refining, but you could scarcely wait!" The Sect Leader of the Ghost Sect was struggling to fight with the Abdicated Emperor of the Violet Orchid Empire. Kirkland's severe injury shocked him.
"Who would expect to face such a tough lad? Let it be. We'd better retreat at once for the sake of survival." Cavan was forced to stand on his heels when defending against the Abdicated Emperor's fierce attack.
He knew the situation was not good.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe words, corpse demon, interested Austin. 'The corpse demon should be superior to the corpse general. It turns out that the corpse demons are still in the process of refining.’ Realizing that they intended to retreat, Austin decided to stop them. He knew that they would return to take revenge once their strength improved.
From the way Kirkland spoke, a corpse demon seemed to be very powerful. Austin wondered if, with his strength, he would be able to stop the corpse demons after they were successfully refined.
Urged by this thought, Austin appeared behind Kirkland in a blink of an eye. He had been so quick that there was a residual shadow. It was tto be merciless with Kirkland even if he was already injured.
At the stime, Austin gave the ancient evil ape a command to cut off their retreat route. The beast sprang to its feet before soaring into the sky. It rushed behind the Sect Leader at lightning speed before waving its huge fists and dashing against Cavan with a thundering howl.
This Sect Leader faced several difficulties in the strenuous fight against the Abdicated Emperor Warren. It was like being caught between the hammer and the anvil, and the increased pressure put him in a hurry.
Sensing that Austin was standing behind him, Kirkland was infuriated and exasperated.
"Lad, | am going to dismember you!" With a cultivation base of the Imperial Realm, Kirkland thought he could deal with Austin whose cultivation base was at the medium stage of the Sky Realm, even though he was wounded.
"Ha-ha, just you? Here and now?" Austin laughed coldly. He didn't pay any more attention to the severely injured Kirkland. After all, Kirkland's strength had been reduced to two-tenths or three-tenths.
As the proverb goes, he who strikes first prevails. Austin delivered his Brutal Blast Fist.
Since Kirkland's spiritual sense was damaged, it took him a while to detect Austin's attack. The last second before the fist strength reached his body, Kirkland realized what Austin was doing, and began to circulate vital energy to defend against the blow before it reached his body.
But it was too late. Kirkland may have resisted had his strength been at an optimal level. However, since he was in a weakened state, the fist strength invaded his body.
Kirkland was already half dead with fright. After all, he had witnessed the explosive power of Austin's fist strength.
Terror-stricken, he exerted his strength while making his escape. Survival was all Kirkland could care about now.
