The Blood Wolf Team had a stronghold located in the Good Fortune
Alley, just north to the imperial capital city.
The house was now ablaze with fire, strewn with corpses, accompanied
by resounding clashes between weapons. People were dismembered
left, right and center by these chaotic flurry of weapons.
Four figures floated in the air above the house.
These were Austin, Abbott and two guardians of the Blood Wolf Team.
All of their cultivation bases were at the Mysterious Realm.
Cultivators of the Mysterious Realm were blessed with the ability to stay
and glide briefly in the air by relying on their vital energy.
How long a cultivator could stay or how far he could glide in the air
depended on his strength and his ability to utilize his vital energy.
"Austin, you've become too bold! Winning the tournament must have
made you too haughty.
Today will be the day you die,” Abbott spoke grimly as he stared
furiously at Austin, his eyes giving away his murderous intentions.
Suddenly, a violently frenzied vital energy force exerted out of his body.
"Diabolic Wolf Shooting Punch!”
Out of Abbott's fist, a ferocious giant wolf with snarling teeth appeared
out of nowhere, surrounded by diabolic auras. As soon as it showed up,
it gritted its teeth and rushed toward Austin at great speed, leaving
behind his shadow in its untamed speed. Before he could react, it was
right in front of Austin.
Just before the wolf stuck its teeth in Austin, Austin gathered his
strength and let out a yell of desperation
Instead of dodging the attack, he threw his hand directly at the diabolic
wolf's head. 30, 000 pounds of great force poured out from his fist and
Austin didn't hold back one bit of his power.
"Boom!"
Austin was thrown behind by more than 100 meters away when he
collided with the wolf. His shirt was completely torn apart by the
tremendous impact, and the pieces floated like butterflies in the sky,
and then gently fell to the ground.
"Huh, looks like 30, 000 pounds is not powerful enough to deal with the
attack from a master at the medium stage of Mysterious Realm," Austin
observed in hindsight.
Although Austin staggered backwards from the attack, he had not
suffered any damage except that there was suddenly a massive surge of
blood and energy in his chest.
Since Austin had mastered the fifth stage of Overlord Body-refining
Formula and his body had been buttressed by the three drops of
Ancient Magic Liquid, his physical strength was much stronger than
ordinary people could even imagine. That was why he was largely
unhurt.
Abbott gasped in disbelief at what he had seen. He sensed that Austin
hadn't even launched his vital energy in the fight, and he was still alive.
How Austin was physically able to withstand his Diabolic Wolf Shooting
Punch was something Abbott couldn't wrap his head around.
His body was unimaginably tough!
As Austin and Abbott fought, the two guardians of the Blood Wolf
Team also went into action mode. Waves of terrible, harmful vital
energy shot out of their bodies.
One of the guardians swiftly began playing with his hands, attempting
to generate bursts of energy. Soon enough, a huge outburst of energy,
several feet high, appeared above Austin's head and smashed right
down on him.
Meanwhile, the other guardian's vital energy turned into a vigorous
eagle flying high in the sky, and then flew to Austin at full speed with
immense momentum.
These two guardians were slightly weaker than Abbott with respect to
the cultivation base, but they were as experienced and deadly as
Abbott in terms of combat and their use of vital energy. They fought in
perfect coordination, one attacking Austin from the front, the other
attacking him from behind. Austin had no way to retreat away to safety.
Austin immediately launched five Spiritual Sense Flying Needles with
his mind and controlled them as he pinned them straight into the
second guardian's Soul Sea.
As a cultivator of the Mysterious Realm, the second guardian also had
his own spiritual sense, but in the face of Austin's expert spiritual sense
attack, his spiritual sense was as weak as a baby.
Instantly, bursts of unbearable pain shot up all over his Soul Sea.
His weapon that he had just released, the eagle, was affected too. Its
speed was reduced and its momentum almost went to nil.
Ample pale, golden vital energy poured out of Austin's feet, wrapping
his feet tightly. With his deft use of the vital energy, Austin had escaped
the huge outburst of energy above his head. Now that he had taken
care of one of the fronts of attack, he went to tackle the eagle that was
flying toward him, and then, a swift, formidable fist smashed it to
pieces.
The eagle's owner, who had finally recovered from the pain in his Soul
Sea, stared at Austin in horror, and roared, "How can this be? How
could your spiritual sense be so powerful?"
Under the siege that was laid by the three cultivators of the Mysterious
Realm, Austin actually found it fun, and was leisurely fighting them at
the same time.
Because of the Golden Sun Scripture and the three drops of Ancient
Magic Liquid, Austin’s vital energy was abundant to the point that it
was overflowing.
Those two guardians of the preliminary stage of Mysterious Realm
didn't put Austin under considerable pressure and Austin didn't even
break a sweat.
In fact Austin had beaten Leo who was at the medium stage of
Mysterious Realm in the ring, so he had no fear in the face of Abbott,
who was also at the medium stage of Mysterious Realm. He fought him
calmly and confidently.
Abbott's face grew darker and darker, as he thought, “Austin has great
potential. He has just broken through to the preliminary stage of
Mysterious Realm, and he also possesses an impressive fighting force.
We have to attack him with all our might. There is no other way we can
really hurt him."
"Guys, use the Diabolic Wolf Formula! Quick! Don't hesitate!"
Abbott shouted aloud.
Abbott and the two guardians immediately began retreating to a
distance, moving away at the same time.
Out of the blue, came the sound of doors creaking as if they were being
pushed. Nobody could discern its source.
Then, out of nowhere, three open doors appeared.
Each door looked primitively simple. The structure looked obsolete,
giving it an air of mystery.
An ancient smell, that was obviously out of place in this era, originated
and spread out of these doors. The smell was pungent and strong, like
it had gathered up since eons.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!"
Inside the doors, savage wolves began roaring and howling, louder and
louder every second, accompanied by bursts of overwhelmingly fast
winds whose pressure exuded a suffocating feeling.
Then, through three doors arrived an avalanche of storm.
Meanwhile, streaks of black light appeared. It all looked ominous.
Three diabolic wolves leaped from one of the doors which was right
above Abbott's head!
Also at the same time, two diabolic wolves jumped out of the other two
doors and stood above each guardian's head!
They had summoned five diabolic wolves together!
Each diabolic wolf was more than 30 feet tall and about 40 feet long,
and radiated a breathtaking dark evil light. Their bodies were strong
and powerful, as if cast from iron, giving them a sense of invulnerability.
Austin had seen Wilson from the Blood Wolf Team perform the Diabolic
Wolf Formula in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games.
However, Wilson had only summoned one diabolic wolf at that time.
While Abbott summoned three diabolic wolves, the two guardians had
summoned one each.
The five wolves looked as if coming from the old hunting days of the
primordial world. The moment they emerged, the five pairs of red
bloodthirsty eyes blazed with menace, fixed on Austin!
"Haha, Austin, I have to admit that you are a rare genius. Unfortunately,
if a genius does not have the opportunity to reach his full potential, he
is no different from someone mediocre.
Today, I will kill you, a so called genius, with my own hands!
No matter how powerful you are, these five diabolic wolves will tear
you to pieces!" Abbott exclaimed in excitement.
Once the five diabolic wolves appeared, he no longer had any worries
about killing Austin. He knew they would carry out their job
competently.
"Facing five wolves at a time is quite a challenge.
But I have no choice but to go for it!" Austin whispered, encouraging
himself.
His eyes turned somber and determined.
Suddenly, a grim light filled his eyes. He crossed his fingers, and moved
them around swiftly and gracefully. It was like watching poetry come
alive.
Copious, vicious snake-like streaks of pale golden vital energy burst
from his palms, twisting around each other with their exuberance.
