There seemed to be something that was stopping Austin's punches
from hitting around Isis’ delicate body.
“Damn it! She's wearing a magic defensive armor! Together with the
vital energy she released, it had blocked my two hundred thousand
pounds punch like a piece of cake!' complained Austin silently.
In succession to the first punch he did, Austin hurled another quick
blow towards the woman using his left fist.
What he did was a left-right combination punch.
Bang!
And finally, he was able to break the vital energy armor of Isis into
splinters.
"Puff! Puff .."
Her clothes instantly turned into rags as it got torn from the powerful
impact.
"Ah!"
She screamed on the top of her lungs and immediately activated an
amulet. In a blink of an eye, a mysterious force quickly engulfed her and
took her eight hundred meters away.
"Austin! How dare you? I will never forget you. And I will kill you with
my own hands one day! Just wait! You will pay for this!"
Her voice faded away as she hurriedly escaped from the fight.
"Damn! I should have killed her.
She will bring nothing but trouble,"
mumbled Austin. A bitter smile cracked his lips as he shook his head
regretfully.
"But hey! That fight wasn't so bad. I saw her naked body and it's worth
it! My physical strength is enough to deal with her sound attacks. I can
still easily kill her in the future regardless of how much progress she'll
make. All I need to do is to improve my Beast Energy-extracting Skill.
There's no reason to be afraid of her at all. She just got really lucky
today.”
The broken amulet had stirred Austin's interests.
He had heard about amulets that could transport their users into far
places before. However, he never had a chance to see one while he was
in the Violet Orchid Empire. The location of the mentioned empire was
just too remote to even have access to such wonders.
Thus, this was the very first time he saw how the amulet worked
Meanwhile, all the other cultivators around Austin were now looking at
him in utter surprise.
It wasn't that long yet since Isis took their attention after killing all the
members of the Tiger Mercenary Team with just her magic harp.
Seeing someone as powerful as her flee shamefully from a fight was
definitely something! She didn't just escape like a coward dog, she was
almost naked earlier. All thanks to this young man!
Was it even possible for an unknown boy from Heavenly Dragon Holy
Kingdom to be much more powerful than the well-known Magic Harp
Player?
"Oh man, now I see! You the one who killed the decades of disciples of
our sect, aren't you?"
Caspar of the Sky Sect, suddenly exclaimed.
"Yes, it was me.
You are more than welcome to take revenge against me,"
replied Austin while smiling calmly.
He knew this topic would be brought up shortly after he defeated Isis.
"Boy, you... How dare you have the nerve to slaughter our Sky Sect
disciples! You're dead meat!"
Caspar was shaking with rage when he pointed his finger to Austin
However, having witnessed the fight between Austin and Isis just now,
Caspar was aware that none of the Sky Sect disciples at present could
defeat Austin.
He knew that he wasn't a match against this boy's skill. Austin's violent
physical skill and ghostly speed were immeasurable. Not to mention
the fact that Austin was also accompanied by a group of diabolic beasts
and zombies.
On the other hand, Austin wasn't even taking Caspar seriously at all.
The difference between their skills was just too evident.
Thus, he walked idly towards the Iron Lady Mercenary Team instead.
The dozen of beautiful ladies from that team instantly turned pale with
fear. Trembling and without fighting spirit, they all stared at Austin like
a group of poor lambs, waiting to be slaughtered.
With a sweep of his hand, Austin called back the six scorpion-tailed
leopards, ancient evil apes, and the five corpse demons.
He then turned to the Team Head and sneered, "Now, how are you
feeling now? Didn't you say that you're going to kill me today?"
Austin let out a cunning smile.
Seeing the murderous grin on his face made all the members of the
team shivered even more.
They all understood that defying Austin would be useless. Given that
someone as powerful as Isis fled from this man's punches, even they
put all the strength together, they were still nothing against him.
They were basically as helpless as children in front of a hungry beast.
"Austin, it was the Team Head who took me in while I first came to the
Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.
Could you please spare them for my sake?"
Tessa suddenly stood between Austin and the Team.
And needless to say, her words took Austin by surprise.
"Well... Okay. I'll let them go this time then,”
he replied and smiled after a few seconds of hesitation. Anyway, he had
had no grudges against the Iron Lady Mercenary Team before. It was
just that they had provoked him. Thus, letting them slip wasn't really a
big thing.
"Go!" he finally instructed the ladies as he shot them an uninterested
look.
Since Isis had escaped, the Iron Lady Mercenary Team themselves were
not powerful enough to fight for the Crystal Mine Mountain.
However, the Team Head took a deep look at Austin and Tessa before
leaving.
"Tessa, let's go up the mountain and have a look,"
suggested Austin as he glanced at the crowd.
It was only then that he noticed only three groups left on that place;
the Sky Sect, the Song Clan which was one of the four major clans, and
the combined team of Flying Fish Sect, Iron Palm Sect, and Evergreen
Sect.
None of them dared to provoke Austin anymore as they all knew that
the youth before them was extraordinarily strong and ruthless.
Austin took Tessa and went directly to the Crystal Mine Mountain.
After they were gone, the three parties looked at each other and
started discussing.
"You guys, what do you think of that young man?"
Thomas broke the silence first.
"He is mysterious and extraordinarily powerful.
But there's no way for him to monopolize the Crystal Mine Mountain.
I think we should go to the mountain first. We can work together and
kill the kid after we find anything valuable. Let's talk about who will own
the mountain once the child's gone.
Anyway, I'm not willing to share the treasure in the Crystal Mine
Mountain with a strange guy,”
the Sect Leader of the Iron Palm Sect suggested.
"Okay. Let's go up the mountain, find an opportunity to kill the kid, and
then search for the treasure!"
Thomas agreed.
So did Caspar.
Thus, all the cultivators began to activate their bodily movement skills
and headed for the Crystal Mine Mountain.
Little did anyone know that Austin could hear their conversation even
when he was far away though. A cold grin cracked his lips upon sensing
their spiritual powers.
"Humph! I hope you're lucky enough not to meet me or provoke me
again. Otherwise, I will turn you all into meat pies!”
Simultaneously, in the Veritable Sect's place. Morton was defeated and
fled away with dozens of Veritable Demon Sect disciples.
After running more than a hundred miles, a powerful team leader
greeted them with a big smile.
"Morton!"
The group was led by a middle-aged man, who was two meters tall and
covered with thick black hair all over his body. He looked like a bear.
His voice was as loud as a great bell, sounding vigorous.
"Hey, Leef, John!"
Morton was overjoyed to see this group of people.
This group was composed of people from the Veritable Demon Sect.
The leading middle-aged man was a steward in the sect and the man
whose body was as stiff as a rock was John. John was the one
responsible for guarding the Dragon City, a stronghold of the sect.
"Morton, why do you look so terrible? What happened?”
Leef could see that the Veritable Demon Sect disciples led by Morton all
seemed like canaries that had been terribly scared by a giant cat.
It was then that Morton opened his mouth to tell his story in details.
“What?
A boy named Austin drove a wedge between you and Isis? Did you
really just say that he forced you away?
Humph! How dare they? Isis is such a bitch! How dare she has the nerve
to be so rude to our Veritable Demon Sect people?
Take me to them! I'll give Isis a good lesson! Otherwise, we will not be
able to live in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom!
Moreover, I will hunt that boy too and slam him into meat mud.”
Leef was gritting his teeth furiously.
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Morton immediately led the
group of people of the Veritable Demon Sect toward the place where
the battle took place.
"By the way, Morton, keep this picture. It's a portrait of the man wanted
by our sect. Remember his face!"
said Leef as he threw out a picture to Morton.
Grabbing it and having a look, Morton was startled.
"It's him! This is the same guy!"
Morton cried out. He then added, "He is Austin! He was the one who
cast in a bone between Isis and us!"
Shocked, Leef and John ended up staring at Morton.
"What a stroke of luck! We found him without much effort!"
said Leef with a laugh! He and John instantly became excited. The boy
was wanted by the Sect Leader. If they could arrest him, they would
receive a handsome reward.
"Speed up!" John commanded their troops.
The Veritable Demon Sect people all obeyed and moved to the
direction advised by Leef.
By that time, Tessa and Austin were still on their way to the Crystal Mine
Mountain. While traveling, Tessa told Austin about why she came to the
Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom and how she became a member of the
Iron Lady Mercenary Team.
