The sound waves compressed the air with immense pressure, making the wind twist and how! loudly.
Everything in front of the middle-aged man -- the wildflowers, bushes, stones, hills, and animals -- turned into ashes.
After witnessing such a spectacle, Austin felt that his blood rushed through his chest, and that his heartbeat went wild as if his heart was about to burst.
The sheer force that was released was so powerful that it was beyond Austin's imagination! Such a level of destruction could only be executed by a monster. To think that it was caused by a middle-aged man, who had such great physical strength, was extremely unbelievable.
Using his spiritual sense, Austin could tell that the air around the man twisted due to the immense power released by the latter's physical strength.
Shock waves would erupt from his body with his every move.
Each step he took created cracks on the ground, which spread for thousands of meters away. It was as if a giant had walked by.
Ashes, sand, as well as rolling stones, flew with the wind and scattered everywhere.
The ground beneath his feet trembled and shook slightly.
Frankly, Austin felt as if the man was not human at all, but a giant or rather a monster.
His physical strength was actually ten times greater than Austin's. This made the latter realize that he was no match against the man on a one-on-one duel.
It would look like an ant battling against a giant. It was downright impossible to defeat someone of his caliber.
Moreover, Austin was well aware that he had made quite a ruckus opening too many coffins and stealing numerous treasures, which were left by the Elders and the Sect Leaders in the Holy Tomb of the Veritable Demon Sect. The place was considered holy and sacred, but he turned it into complete chaos.
It was common knowledge that the Holy Tomb was where all the sect's elders and leaders rested after their deaths and a place which held the Veritable Demon Sect's history and succession.
Since the man found out that the ruin of the Veritable Demon Sect was Austin's doing, he had the very reason to capture and kill the latter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAustin suddenly felt worried and fearful, because, despite the fact that he was no match against him, he also had nowhere else to go. He was trapped and helpless, like a prey cornered by its predator.
The man was inching closer and closer towards Austin's whereabouts. Finally, he was only about 1, 500 meters away.
Austin assumed that the man would catch up to him within several seconds.
He wracked his brains to think of an immediate escape from the man's attack. Using his spiritual sense, Austin checked his surroundings.
He sensed that a river which was several hundred meters wide was not far from where he was.
The river had a very strong current, and the waves were surging forward like a torrential tide.
Upon discovering it, an idea suddenly popped in Austin's mind. He finally had a plan to escape.
It was quite a risky plan with no total assurance of success, but he still decided to give it a try. He'd rather do something than just wait for the man to catch him.
Austin gritted his teeth and released a streak of spiritual sense towards the man chasing after him. A spiritual demon suddenly appeared in the man's Soul Sea.
Austin had mastered the Demon-creating Skill, a skill which allowed him to create spiritual demons by using his spiritual sense.
"Well...not bad spiritual sense at all! It's quite surprising that Austin's spiritual sense is incredible," the middle-aged man murmured with an evident hint of humor in his tone.
However, in a blink of an eye, the spiritual demon was suddenly attacked and pushed backed by a great force.
It obviously was no match against the middle-aged man. It wasn't even able to lay a finger on him.
The demon only slowed him down for a few seconds.
Austin didn't even think twice, and immediately rushed forward without looking back. Within seconds, he stood at the left side of the broad river.
And without any hesitation, he instantly jumped into the river.
Using his telepathy, he transmitted his will to the City hidden in his body. Then, he was instantaneously transferred into it in a split second.
In Austin's control, the City turned into a small object which was as tiny as a grit, and mingled itself with the sand.
"Well, this boy is quite cunning for his age.
But does he honestly think that he can successfully escape just like that?" The middle-aged man said, laughing heartily at Austin's unexpected actions. He was obviously enjoying his pursuit of Austin as if it were a gfor him.
He eagerly walked towards the river and launched a forceful strike on it.
In an instant, the river was raised a few dozen meters high, looking like a jade belt suspended in midair. With the water hanging in the air, numerous fishes rolled and jumped. It looked truly magnificent at sight! Once the water was raised a few meters high, its riverbed which were filled with pebbles, rocks, and sand was visibly exposed.
‘Where is the boy?" After searching through the river thoroughly, the middle-aged man failed to find out Austin.
'Did he go deep underground?’ The middle-aged man raised his left hand and held the river which was about to drop down with another powerful force.
He then hit the riverbed with his right hand, making the sand and stones, including those in the underground, fly and hang in midair like a clay dragon. It filled the entire area with specks of dust and clouded it with smoke.
A ravine, which was about ten meters long and one hundred meters wide, appeared in the place where the riverbed lied.
However, Austin was still nowhere to be found.
"That boy must have carried a secret weapon which enables him to hide," the middle-aged man murmured impatiently.
Then he sensed the whole area through his spiritual sense.
Meanwhile, the water and the clay dragon were stuck in midair by two mighty forces.
A minute passed, and still, Austin was nowhere in sight.
He shook his head in utter disappointment as he initially thought it would be easy to chase and find the young lad.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe waved his hand, and the two dragons fell back to where they were. The clouds of dust, mixed with the water, made the air muddy.
A few minutes later, the river was back to its natural state with the water running at its normal speed.
Dahlia and Faye were standing behind the middle-aged man. They were relieved to know that he failed to find Austin.
"Dad, don't cause trouble for Austin anymore.
He had been kind toduring the days | journeyed with him.
Look, he was even generous enough to givethese," Dahlia said.
Although she secretly hated Austin for causing her to get caught, she still didn't want her father to hurt him.
Dahlia might be sharp-tongued, but she definitely had a soft heart.
To prove Austin's kindness, she took a lot of things from the space ring and showed them to his father.
There were more than one thousand superior vital energy crystals, spellets of grade four or five, selixirs, and a small jade bottle.
"Well? Did Austin give you all of these?" the middle-aged man asked surprisingly while staring at those things.
He focused on the small jade bottle and took it, cautiously opening the bottle.
"Earthly Mother Essence!" the middle-aged man shouted in amazement.
"Did Austin give this to you?" He tried to control his surprise with a straight face.
"Yes, he did.
Is it great?" Dahlia asked proudly.
Seeing how surprised her father was, she couldn't help but grin.
