The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin saw the leader of the Ghost Sect stretch out his Corpse Diabolic Hand and rush forwards in his direction. Fearing for his safety, he didn't dare to underestimate the threat posed by his opponent. Austin's two arms becinfused with golden light.

Suddenly, his arms transformed into two powerfully muscled golden lion's claws. As if to emphasize his power, the sound of lions roaring could be heard in echoes, which rippled powerfully through the empty space between the two sides.

As soon as the two claws materialized, they lashed out without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Austin's eyes met with the leader's mercilessly cold glance. His inner mind was triggered to full alert.

Austin acted quietly and decisively.

Inside the Ghost Sect leader's Soul Sea, a weird demon appeared and roaring in a horrifying way, pounced upon the spiritual soul's seat.

The Ghost Sect leader was taken aback. When he managed to calm down a few moments later, he realized that this was an attack of the spiritual sense. He would never before have expected Austin to use this kind of powerful but rare attack. And worse still, the phantasmal ghost's spiritual sense told him that Austin's powers were much stronger than his own! This finding shocked the Ghost Sect leader tremendously. Unwilling to waste any more time, he cast a spell and a dark chain crafted from demonic shadows appeared. It rattled off to the ghost at maximum speed.

The ghost bellowed in rage.

It recognized its enemy and immediately fought with the chain.

Following Austin's orders the ghost took evasive action, as soon as the dark chain had appeared. Austin recognized the chain as a Spiritual Chain, a unique fighting skill of the Ghost Sect. However, this tit was the leader of the Ghost Sect who had used this skill, rather than sordinary disciples. The Spiritual Chain wielded great strength and fettered the ghost's movement.

Although Austin's spiritual sense was stronger than that of the Ghost Sect leader's, he hadn't refined or practiced it much in a long tand had limited knowledge about it. Therefore, he couldn't employ it to full capacity.

Inside the Sect leader's Soul Sea the fight between the ghost and the Spiritual Chain continued.

Bang! Austin's two golden lion's claws slashed against the leader's Corpse Diabolic Hand.

All movements stopped for a few heartbeats.

Then, a wave of great strength washed over his body.

Austin felt as if his body exploded after being hit by a thunderbolt. He was flung backwards, and landed on the ground with a dull, aching thud.

The middle-stage Imperial Realm cultivator's capabilities were really equal to his reputation! Luckily, Austin's Demon-creating Skill had already placed a restraining hand on his opponent's strength.

Resisting the urge to spit blood, Austin rose groggily from the ground and took a few slow steps before standing quietly with his feet firmly planted.

Seeing that Austin had endured such a powerful blow, and had managed to recover after only a few steps, the Ghost Sect leader had a sinking feeling that he had underestimated this plucky young man.

As Austin regrouped his strengths, the demon was already expelled from the leader's Soul Sea.

This surprised Austin, as he had never before met anybody who could so easily overchis ghost since he began to practice this Demon-creating Skill.

This leader's spiritual sense accomplishments were really impressive. Truly, his Spiritual Chain must belong to a spiritual sense skill at a much more senior stage of refinement.

The leader's Corpse Diabolic Hand couldn't beat Austin; and Austin's Demon-creating Skill had failed to defeat the leader. They had reached a stalemate it seemed! The two sides seemed to be equally well-matched in strength.

The leader looked sullen. He had never before thought that a warrior of only medium stage of Sky Realm could possess a strength comparable to his own.

"Ha-ha, hurry up. Otherwise, it'll be too late." Austin circulated his vital energy throughout his body in an attempt to stop himself from vomiting blood, as he felt pain and nausea flood his senses. He could not afford to let the Sect leader see how badly he was injured. As his concentration momentarily faltered, the evil ape and Warren were moving quickly to them.

The Ghost Sect leader had already sensed that there was something amiss and looked serious.

He instantly transformed himself into a shadow, and used the Corpse Diabolic Hand again to attack.

Seeing the Corpse Diabolic Hand shrouded with corpse miasma, Austin suddenly thought of something. The leader's skill was strange, and the power of a thunderbolt might neutralize its strength.

In that split-second, Austin triggered the Thunder Elixir inside his body. A thunderbolt the thickness of his arm, shot out and hit the Corpse Diabolic Hand.

The leader felt his arms turn numb, and then saw the corpse miasma on his arms immediately disappear.

As Austin had expected, the thunderbolt could neutralize the threat of corpse miasma. The pure energy disrupted and dispersed the dangerous poison.

This finding excited Austin.

He sent a second thunderbolt to hit the Corpse Diabolic Hand again. The moment Austin used his inner mind, the thunderbolt hit its target.

The leader's hands felt numb again, and while the sensation of pins and needles ruptured through his shadowy body, the darkness gradually faded. Disrupted by the blasts, the corpse miasma started to vanish.

At that moment, Austin moved, and his two strong lion's claws struck, hitting the Corpse Diabolic Hand.

This time, Austin stood firmly and didn't retreat. His strength was no less than that of the leader's.

This was a quite unexpected revelation. His thunderbolt succeeded in neutralizing the threat of the Corpse Diabolic Hand. With the help of his Kirin Golden-body Scripture, he wouldn't need to be afraid of his opponent again.

"Ha-ha! Austin, you've stopped him. Good. Don't let him run away," said a voice.

Warren, father of the emperor of the Violet Orchid Empire, had arrived.

Then, a beast howled.

A frightening and deafening sound devoid of all civilization. The evil ape had followed Warren and chere.

Austin, Warren and the evil ape, surrounded the Sect leader and vowed to keep him there.

The Sect leader suddenly had a sinking feeling that he was in extrdanger.

"Cut the crap, and just die!" Warren launched the first attack. He clapped his hands and an gigantic, golden hand materialized immediately overhead of the leader.

The ancient evil ape howled until saliva dripped from its slavering jaws.

His physical body was indestructible, but the effects of the assault manifested in the physical world as several hurricanes appeared. Space becdistorted. Light bent and molecules spun into disarray.

Austin directly stared into the leader's two dark eyes. He triggered his inner mind, and using his Demon-creating Skill. A demon appeared in the leader's Soul Sea one more time.

Then, Austin stretched out his hand and a thunderbolt streaked through the sky towards the leader.

The leader looked pallid. He was already exhausted from fending off the three opponents’ attacks. Besides, he had to think of a solution to deal with the demon inside his Soul Sea. He was already becoming nearly impotent, and had few opportunities remaining for striking back.

A few moments later, he lost.

Bang! Austin's thunderbolt hit the leader's body with maximum speed and power.

Simultaneously, the ancient evil ape's fist punched him in the back with a loud crunch.

Warren took the opportunity, and his golden hand fell on the Ghost Sect leader's head.
