Austin eyed Violet from head to toe and then heaved a sigh of relief when he was sure that she was
safe and sound. Then he turned to the strangers, his face livid.
"Brat! I don't care who you are or how you're related to this demonic fox.
Our young master took a fancy to her, so you better step back and give her to us. Otherwise, you won't
live to see another day," Steve threatened.
His face turned as dark as ink when he saw Austin break his vital energy rope to release Violet. He
heard Violet call Austin "Master," so he was guessing that she was his pet.
"Hah?
Are you serious?"
Disdain was written all over Austin's face.
He had seen Steve when he was battling with Violet. He could tell that he was at the preliminary stage
of the Sky Realm.
"You're courting death! I'll let you taste my Wind-splitting Finger!"
Austin's words irritated Steve. Unable to bear the humiliation, he used all of his vital energy force to
form a giant finger. The finger tore up the air around it and it also produced a sharp sound. It flew
towards Austin's chest at high speed.
"Humph! Just a small trick! You're not that impressive," Austin taunted.
He didn't dodge the attack. Instead, he stood still and produced a sword from his palm. It was
surrounded by flames.
Then he controlled the sword to destroy the finger.
Boom!
The sword slashed through the finger effortlessly as if it were merely a balloon. The finger exploded
into a thousand pieces and vanished in the air.
"He's at the medium stage of the Sky Realm!" exclaimed Steve.
He and his companions stared at Austin in stunned disbelief.
They didn't expect that this young man was already at the medium stage of the Sky Realm.
Some of them realized that the sword in Austin's hand was not just an ordinary weapon. It could block
the attack of a cultivator at the preliminary stage of the Sky Realm as easily as blowing dust off a table.
"No wonder you're so arrogant. It looks like you really are something!"
Steve said through gritted teeth. Somehow, he was extremely jealous of Austin because the latter was
younger and stronger than him.
He tried to suppress his anger. Austin's cultivation base was higher than his, but he was not afraid
because he had many companions with him.
The young man in black narrowed his eyes when he saw that Austin blocked Steve's attack. He then
flashed a smile and said, "My friend, I'm interested in your demonic fox. Are you her master? Do you
mind selling her to me? Money is not a problem. You can ask whatever price you want."
Although it seemed as if he was asking for Austin's opinion, his voice was so menacing that Austin
could tell that he would not take no for an answer.
'This man is so young, yet he has already reached the medium stage of the Sky Realm. He might be
from some of the leading sect or force. It's better if we don't clash with him, ' the young man thought to
himself.
Austin glanced at him and answered coldly, "Nope. I'm afraid I can't do that."
He knew that the two Elders behind the young man were the strongest among these people. When the
two Elders stared at Austin, he mentally sensed a great incoming danger. He didn't know their
cultivation base, but he was sure that it was higher than his.
The young man didn't expect Austin to turn him down without hesitating.
"Son of a bitch! You better watch your language. Our young master's father is the leader of the Thunder
Sect. It is an honor to offer your demonic fox to our young master. You ungrateful bastard!"
Steve shouted at him harshly.
"Thunder Sect? Young master? Never heard of it," Austin said indifferently while frowning.
"What?! You've never heard of the Thunder Sect?
Brat! That's impossible! Where are you from? A remote village? I can't believe it.
Hey brat, listen to me!
The Thunder Sect is one of the strongest sect in the Elite Holy Kingdom. It is also among one of the
best sects in the south continent of the Prime Martial World.
Any disciple of the Thunder Sect could kill you as easily as killing an ant," Steve taunted in a loud
voice. He was proud of his sect and he couldn't bear to hear that Austin had never heard of it.
"Brat, if you are smart enough, you would give your demonic fox to our young master. You will benefit a
lot from it if you could suck up to our young master. Think about it carefully," Steve continued when
Austin didn't respond. It seemed to him that Austin got scared after learning about the Thunder Sect.
He straightened his body and became more arrogant.
'The strongest sect of Elite Holy Kingdom, you say? Sounds like it's really something,' Austin mused.
"I'd like to ask you a question," said Austin.
"What? What question could you possibly have?" Steve asked, confused.
"Now that everyone knows that they could benefit a lot if they suck up to your young master, would you
give your mother to him if he takes a fancy to her?" Austin taunted with a weird smile.
"Son of a bitch! You are dead meat! You arrogant bastard!" Steve was instantly enraged by Austin's
humiliating comment. He gnashed his teeth and clenched his fists. A vigorous energy suddenly gushed
out from his body and surrounded him completely. His aura swelled like an inflated balloon.
Suddenly, a robust vital energy erupted from his body and formed a giant tiger in front of him.
The tiger raised its head and roared at the sky. The atmosphere around the whole place vibrated
because of its roar.
No wonder people said that the tiger was the king of the forest.
As soon as it emerged, it charged at Austin with fierce and majestic momentum.
Austin felt a rather strange feeling when he saw the tiger. He knew that it was formed by Steve's vital
energy but somehow, he could feel that there was a real tiger's soul inside its body.
'What is this vital arts skill? It not only has a tiger's shape, but it also has a tiger's soul. It's like a real
tiger!' Austin thought.
Steve's martial arts skill was amazing, but Austin was not afraid of him at all.
Like what he had done to the black rock diabolic bull, he integrated the eight kinds of forces of Brutal
Blast Fist into a light ball and threw it at the tiger.
The light ball gave out a dazzling golden light which even Austin couldn't look straight at because he
was afraid that his eyes might get burned. The light landed on the tiger's head.
Bang!
The tiger suddenly stopped in its tracks.
Steve's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he just saw.
Boom!
With a bang, the tiger was split into a thousand vital energy force dusts that scattered all over the sky
before disappearing. Strangely, Austin even heard the tiger's crying and wailing before it disappeared.
He felt like he just punched a real tiger instead of a tiger that was formed by vital energy.
"Son of a bitch! You bastard just destroyed my tiger soul! How dare you?!"
Steve yelled at the top of his lungs. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that Austin defeat his
tiger with just one punch.
While Steve was still in shock, Austin took the opportunity to use his body movement skill. He was
suddenly standing before Steve in just a blink of an eye.
Without a moment's hesitation, he integrated the eight forces again and threw a punch at Steve's chest.
The air around them trembled with a reverberating buzz.
