Humph! Your brute force makes you so arrogant, Skippy! Know this: even if you train your body to the
extreme, it is still a cultivation method at a low grade. You cannot rely on brute force forever! And since
you have killed members of the Blood Wolf Team, this team will chase you from now on until you die,
the cultivator declared.
"You talk too much!
Since, you insist on belittling my physical strength, I will kill you with it so you will never forget it!" Austin
said coldly.
His eyes were filled with a fighting and killing will. His fists clenched and his two arms bulged all of a
sudden. They were twice as thick as the usual. Sounds similar to pop rocks emanating from his arms
were so loud as if a great force was ready to burst any time.
"You arrogant fool! Soon, you will be dead!" the Blood Wolf Team member bellowed in anger.
Swiftly, he moved and then his half level blade intent transformed into a blade radiance that sliced
towards Austin as fast as lightning.
The blade radiance seemed to cut into everything around it, and nothing could bear its force. It
regarded everything in its path as weak as grass. Soon, it was rushing towards Austin with great force
and at high speed.
The fury of the blade radiance made Austin feel as if there were countless invisible steel blades cutting
towards his direction.
Even before the blade radiance touched his body, it felt as if he was being cut into pieces by the furious
blade intent.
'A cultivator's intent is truly a miracle!' Austin thought.
He sighed inwardly and prepared to fight back.
It was his second time to be confronted with the intent of the cultivator in the last several days.
But that was all there was to it. How could it possibly hurt Austin?
There were one thousand pounds of force in each of Austin's arms. That force seemed to burst out of
Austin's extremities instantly. He moved without hesitation.
"I can break it easily!" he roared.
As he said this, his right fist shot out, without any extra effort and motion, and directly hit the blade
radiance charging towards him!
The force of a thousand pounds concentrated into one point and hit the blade radiance in one second.
Buzz! Buzz!
The powerful blade intent in the radiance gave off a miserable sound before it quivered dramatically.
Then it completely broke into several pieces!
Instantly, the blade vanished.
"Wha.. What!?"
For an instant, no one moved.
Then the Blood Wolf Team's cultivator retreated several steps. His face had turned red due to the
collision, and he could not believe what he had just seen.
He could no longer stand what had just happened. His mouth dropped open, and blood gushed out.
And his face was suddenly drenched.
The result of the collision almost turned his knowledge of martial arts into something unfamiliar.
He never expected his blade intent, something he was so proud of, could break into pieces like that
with a man's fist alone, with pure force from the body.
It was clear to him that if a cultivator had never practiced any vital energy defensive skill, his physical
body could not withstand such force, even if he was at the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm!
But this guy in front of him seemed to be only at the seventh level of the Energy Gathering Realm, and
he didn't even try to dodge his blade intent yet defeated it directly with one hit. His blade intent, which
he was so proud of, had just vanished.
A thousand pounds of pure strength broke the half level blade intent!
In silence, Austin acknowledged that the intent of a cultivator was really powerful.
He thought, 'If a thousand pounds of force is needed to fight a half level blade intent, what would it take
to counter a one-level blade intent, or even a two-level blade intent? If I fought against a cultivator with
a two-level intent, I would surely die!'
The man sighed inwardly and was grateful he defeated the powerful intent of the cultivator.
"Let's fight one more time!" Austin challenged.
He became excited at the prospect of testing his strength. So he used his fists non-stop, with all its
internal force. Austin hit his opponent with the left fist, then the right, pounding alternately without
stopping.
Each time the Blood Wolf Team cultivator got hit by Austin's punch, he retreated two or three steps, and
blood spewed out of his mouth. His face turned even paler.
The force from Austin's punch immediately broke his half level blade intent, and it almost lost all its
power.
And came the fifth punch!
In the end, Austin hit the member of the Blood Wolf Team five times, each time with tremendous power.
No sooner was the cultivator's blade intent formed when it vanished quickly. It sounded like someone
sobbing. After that, there was no sign of the half level blade intent.
The power of Austin's fists conquered the half level blade intent completely!
Seeing another punch coming, the member of the Blood Wolf Team screamed," Nooo!"
His greatest fear was when the forceful wind from Austin's fists controlled his entire body, and he would
be unable to move even a single finger.
Bang!
The full power of Austin's fist landed directly on the cultivator's chest. Because of the force, the
member's body was bent like a prawn and shot backward like a bounced ball!
As the body hurtled backward, blood spurted from his mouth and splattered along the way. The smell of
blood filled the entire space.
Finally, the cultivator hit a large tree then fell to the ground. Austin pumped his fist and stamped his foot
on the ground slightly, fully satisfied with the result. Then he strode towards the disgraced member of
the Blood Wolf Team.
Laughing, he thundered," What do you think of my body strength, huh?
Now, do you still think my brute power is the result of a low-grade training method? Are you still going
to underestimate my strength now?"
After inspecting the member of the Blood Wolf Team bathed in blood, and watching him gasp in great
pain, Austin laughed with delight.
Not long ago, Austin fled recklessly as two members of the Blood Wolf Team hunted him down. Now,
he killed one team member and injured another badly all by himself. The two experiences further
boosted Austin's confidence.
He also did a re-evaluation of his powers. Although his cultivation base was only at the seventh level of
the Energy Gathering Realm, Austin found himself powerful enough to fight against a cultivator at the
ninth level of the Energy Gathering Real using his Wind-commanding Skill, Spiritual Sense Flying
Needle, Twin Shadow Blades, as well as the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill.
Rubbing his hands in satisfaction, and before the member of the Blood Wolf Team could say
something, Austin declared," Okay, that's it! You can go and die now!"
Making a fist with his right hand, the strength of a thousand pounds began to gather in his arm, which
soon bulged with power, and the strong muscles under the skin of his arm flexed, emitting a sound as if
numerous frogs were inside Austin's right arm. This display alone horrified the cultivator.
"Don't kill me, please!" the man begged Austin.
He sensed his opponent's strong killing intent, and he was now frightened out of his wits!
This cultivator had killed a great many people in his lifetime.
They included dozens of innocent babies who could not defend themselves and knew nothing about
the world.
Now, it was his turn to face death. And the cultivator was so petrified that he was willing to give up
everything!
He was a member of the Blood Wolf Team, but he was asking Austin for mercy like a coward!
"What now?
Are you suddenly afraid of death?" Austin mocked, while he stopped the motion of his hand.
A moment ago, Austin noted this member always had on a cruel expression. So, he thought the Blood
Wolf Team member was fearless and not afraid to die. It made Austin think highly of him, despite his
cruel face. But seeing him now trembling like a leaf as he faced death, angered Austin more.
"Okay, if you want to stay alive, you need to tell me two things. First, who hired you to chase and kill
me?
And second, tell me everything about the celestial energy ginseng. I want every detail."
The answers to both questions were crucial, so Austin could afford to spare the cultivator's life.
The Blood Wolf Team member hesitated briefly.
After all, every member of the team was forbidden to give out any information about their employer.
The secrecy was the only way for the Blood Wolf Team to remain famous and continue doing business.
And this man had never made such a grave mistake in his life, until now.
As to the news about the celestial energy ginseng, it didn't matter if the man told Austin about it or not
because the news had spread and others would know about it.
If Austin found any ordinary cultivator in the Grand Desolation Mountain and asked for news, he would
have known what was happening, more or less, at that time.
Sensing the member's hesitation, he let out a punch towards the opposite direction. Instantly, a small-
sized hurricane appeared out of nowhere. Then, the member's hair started falling off, and shortly after,
half the hair covering his forehead was gone!
The fist with the power of a thousand pounds whizzed past the cultivator's left ear.
An earsplitting sound burst near his left ear as a result of the fist's tremendous power. Then the
cultivator realized he could no longer hear anything in that ear! The damage to the eardrum left him
completely deaf.
With this realization, the member's heart pounded so hard as if it was about to burst out of his chest.
And he understood that if Austin punched him on the face, his face would be obliterated and turn to
dust.
His fear got the better of him. He finally cast aside any hesitation.
"Alright, I am willing to tell you. But please have mercy on me!"
