On his way to the imperial capital city, Austin suddenly found himself face to face with Augustine, a
core disciple of the Flaming Sun Valley.
Augustine had already learned a level six sword intent. Also, from the vital energy that Augustine used
for his blade intent, Austin realized that his opponent's cultivation base was at the premium stage of the
Earth Realm. That wasn't going to be too much trouble since Austin was also at the same stage.
Augustine was calm and composed in front of Austin and it looked as if Austin was doomed to fail.
After a few minutes of looking at each other, Augustine threatened Austin, "You bastard! I am going to
use the blade aura and cut you into pieces."
Blade aura perfectly copied the soul of blades and was a mighty and gorgeous tool. It wasn't easy to
dodge it.
"Fizz! Fizz! Fizz! Fizz!"
Every time the aura traveled, the surrounding air was cut into pieces by its sharp blade intent and a
sound like someone crying in pain was heard. The leaves that lay dead on the mountain path were
carried by the fierce wind that came with the invisible blade and were ground into powdery dust. Even
large bushes found themselves cut into pieces.
Shoop!
The aura headed for Austin directly. It was flying at an extremely high speed and looked like it wanted
to kill everyone in its path.
"Ha ha ha, Austin, I don't even need to use a level 6 blade intent to kill you. What I am doing is taking
up less than two-thirds of my energy. You would have been a goner had I utilized a level 4 spell too."
Augustine laughed loudly. However, once the real fight began, his eyes became filled with madness
and his breath began to speed up. In fact, with time, his anxiety grew and he had to gasp for breath.
"Yes?"
Austin froze for a moment.
He could see that Augustine was crazy about fighting and it was going to be hard to stand up against
him since his favorite pastime was to practice his skills. Also, his strength was clearly outstanding.
However, Austin was also crazy about practicing, wasn't he?
Furthermore, the blade aura Augustine was letting of a level 4 blade intent, and not at his full strength.
Austin decided that his sword intent could be used against this aura.
Without any hesitation, he drew his sword at the very moment his opponent's level 4 blade intent
appeared.
His superior sword was drawn so rapidly that it could not even be seen. It was surrounded by a sharp
sword aura which hit against the blade aura like a meteor tearing the sky.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! … …"
The spot where the blade and the sword auras clashed into each other exploded. Vital energy gushed
out and mushroom clouds appeared continuously.
"Ah? Amazing! You are a practitioner of swordsmanship and you know a level 4 blade intent.
And oh look! You have a superior sword which has increased the strength of your aura!
I shouldn't have underestimated you, I get that now. You have reached the premium stage of the Earth
Realm and known a level 4 blade intent. You really are a talent Austin. I would go so far so as to say
that you are close to Frank of Flaming Sun Valley.
But, it's a pity for you that I know a level 6 blade intent. I can defeat you easily.
And since I don't have time to waste playing cat and mouse games, I am going to kill you now."
As he talked, Augustine's strength was getting higher and higher. His eyes were full of blade aura and
glistening with a frightening shine.
The next moment, "Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!"
Numerous beams of light rushed out of Augustine and the surrounding air was cut into a million tiny
pieces.
Gradually, the sharp blade radiance began to stretch. Leaves that lay near Augustine's feet seemed to
be cut by several intangible swords. One was cut into two; two into four; and finally, it turned into dust.
Austin realized that Augustine was accumulating energy and was waiting for it to gather so he could get
the strongest shot.
Just how strong he didn't know yet!
The higher level of blade intent a practitioner knew, the more powerful an attack he could perform.
Austin's level 4 blade intent would not be able to fight against Augustine's level 6 blade intent.
"Ha ha ha, what do you say? Should I kill you like a dog or an ant?
It really is a pity to lose an opponent like you. At such a young age, you have already understood a
level 4 sword intent. You can be called as a genius. If you had more time, you surely would have
become stronger. And I have no regrets fighting you.
What a shame that you offended the Chief Elder of the Flaming Sun Valley. You deserve this now."
Augustine was talking a lot as if Austin was hearing his last words. At the same time, he was also
accumulating energy.
Finally, buzz……
Augustine's steel blade shivered a bit suddenly, as if it had cooked up.
It was time!
Austin knew clearly that this moment was critical for Augustine to perform a level 6 blade intent and it
was the best window for his sneak attack.
Suddenly, five Spiritual Sense Flying Needles flied out of Austin's Soul Sea and right into Augustine's.
Also, two knives, one of which was a dark black and the other an equally bright shade of white,
appeared in front of Augustine and attacked him rapidly.
Spiritual Sense Flying Needles were intangible, while the Twin Shadow Blades were tangible.
Both these weapons attacked Augustine together.
Then, as Augustine was trying to deal with these weapons, Austin performed his Wind-commanding
Skill and appeared in front of Augustine in an instant.
Augustine had intended to take the strongest possible shot, but the five sharp steel needles had
intruded into his Soul Sea and were stabbing him rapidly.
Damn it! What's this!
Augustine froze for a moment. However, it was already time for him to make his move. His whole soul
was shining with a strong radiance and it was no big deal that Austin's five Spiritual Sense Flying
Needles were attacking him.
However, his freezing for a moment cost him and his level 6 sword intent was reduced to a level 4
sword intent.
At this level, Austin was no longer afraid. With a shout, an enormous force of about 8000 pounds
weight burst out and concentrated into Austin's fist.
Ah, no!
Even though Augustine had withstood the five Spiritual Sense Flying Needles, he found, to his despair,
that a frantic power was hitting at his chest.
He had spent his whole life studying blade doctrine. He was dedicated to practicing the blade intents
which could kill opponents in a single step.
However, he was poor at bodily movement skills and couldn't avoid physical attacks.
Bang!
A powerful punch struck his chest.
Crack, crack……
Augustine's entire ribcage was broken and twelve pairs of bones fell out, all smashed into pieces.
Then, his body fell down, floppy like a damp sock. Even though he was dead, his eyes were still staring
at Austin, full of questions, grievances, and resentment.
He never understood out how Austin could ruin his level 6 blade intent till the moment he died.
Augustine was at the premium stage of Earth Realm. His spiritual sense power never came into being.
What's more, even though he had practiced blade aura for a long time, he was ignorant of several
other skills. Therefore, he lost.
"Well, what a genius! But luckily, with my current spiritual sense power, I can easily stand up against a
level 6 blade intent from a warrior at the premium stage of the Earth Realm now.
If Augustine had known a higher blade intent, or if his cultivation base of vital energy was just a level
stronger, my spiritual sense power would not have ruined his blade intent.
I really should start learning more about swordsmanship. Otherwise, I will fail next time if I meet
someone who knows a higher level blade intent."
Austin concluded, looking at Augustine's eyes.
Then, he looked at the Space Ring on the middle finger of Augustine's left hand. He picked it up and
took it into his hands.
As a principal disciple of Flaming Sun Valley, Augustine was sure to have a fortune. . . .
Oh, no!
Just after taking Augustine's Space Ring, Austin suddenly felt that something dangerous was catching
up to him.
He released his spiritual sense power and scanned a radius of about 3000 meters.
About 1000 meters away, about a dozen people were heading for Austin. An elder man was leading the
company and giving out some torrid air which felt like a volcano eruption. Where he passed, all the
water in the air seemed to evaporate.
There was also a middle-aged man surrounded with a deep aura and with his eyes full of cruelty and
deceit.
Dwayne!
Abbott!
