Steve hadn't expected Austin to be so ferocious. Even in front of so many people, Austin showed no
fear of killing him. And Austin's bodily movements were so agile that even though Steve wanted to
dodge his attack, it was already too late.
"Brat! How dare you!" yelled Steve.
Being unable to dodge the attack, he could only call on all of his vital energy to form a defense.
"Bang!" The sound reverberated through space.
Austin's fist had still struck Steve's chest heavily.
Facing such a powerful punch, Steve reeled back in agonizing pain for a couple of paces.
"Boy, you're dead today," Steve growled.
That he was being defeated by Austin again and again made him mad with rage.
"You're the one who's gonna die today, not me.
Go to hell!" Austin sneered coldly.
He drew in his full force and prepared to continue the assault.
"Boom!"
At Austin's words, a sickening thud suddenly sounded from inside of Steve.
He looked like he had been struck by lightning. He glared at Austin in disbelief, feeling a shiver run
through him.
"You... You..." Steve stammered.
Then blood began to trickle out like rivulets joining a stream from his eyes, ears, mouth, nose and any
other orifices. His eyes grew dim, his vigor faded, and eventually his body lost its balance and dropped
to the ground, utterly defeated.
"Steve is dead!" someone exclaimed.
Chaos erupted among the spectators.
Seeing this, the young man in black pulled a long face and said, "Boy, it's beyond my imagination that
you are really such a tough guy to deal with.
However, you've gotten yourself into big trouble, because you've just killed a member of the Thunder
Sect."
As he spoke, other people walked towards Austin with clearly hostile looks, encompassing him on all
sides.
"I don't care which sect you belong to. Once you have offended me, no matter who you are, I will make
you pay!"
Though Austin spoke cockily, he could see that there were some extraordinary martial artists among
the group of people. For example, the two old men standing next to the young man, might be stronger
than he could oppose.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable for him, he hurriedly ordered Violet, "Hide yourself in the
Illusion Bead, Violet. I'm afraid that when I fight with them, I can't be distracted by you."
"Yes, Master," replied Violet.
She knew clearly that Austin was right. With her current cultivation base, if she didn't hide herself in
advance and became involved in the fight, then Austin would certainly be distracted by having to take
care of her.
"But what about my sisters? Can you still save them?"
"I will try my best," said Austin.
He squared his shoulders and faced the crowd.
Violet's demonic fox sisters had all been captured. They were trapped in red nets, and were in the
hands of several warriors at the premium stage of Earth Realm.
Her sisters were only level three diabolic beasts. The competence of a level three diabolic beast was
about the same as that of a human at level eight or nine of Energy Gathering Realm. In addition, they
were now controlled by these warriors at the premium stage of Earth Realm, so it was almost
impossible for them to run away.
Quickly, Austin summoned twenty Spiritual Sense Flying Needles. Using his mind, he controlled them
in an attack on the Soul Seas of these warriors.
With his acute spiritual sense, the power of the Spiritual Sense Flying Needles had now reached its
utmost peak.
The cultivators suddenly felt severe pain in their heads and they were unable to focus or remain sober-
minded.
"Aah!"
Throwing down the red nets, with the demonic foxes inside, they clasped their hands to their temples
and screamed wildly.
As for Austin, once he had summoned the twenty Spiritual Sense Flying Needles, he immediately used
the Wind-commanding Skill to transport himself to the warriors' location. He picked up the red nets that
trapped the demonic foxes and shook them, granting the foxes freedom.
The moment the demonic foxes were free of the nets, Violet quickly caught their bodies and
transformed them into a cloud of green smoke, which drifted into the Illusion Bead.
The whole thing happened so quickly, as their agile bodily movements were as fast as lightning. The
rescue of the demonic foxes was accomplished in only one breath.
To those watching it, the whole thing went like this:
The warriors at the premium stage of Earth Realm, who had taken a hold of the demonic foxes,
suddenly held their heads and began to cry for no reason.
At that very moment, Austin suddenly appeared next to them, releasing all of the foxes from the red
nets. Then in a cloud of green smoke, all of the foxes were gone.
And now, only Austin was left standing in the scene.
The rescue happened so quickly, just like magic.
Only a few of the most powerful martial artists knew what had happened. The weaker martial artists,
especially those who only possessed the cultivation base of the Earth Realm had no idea of what was
going on.
"Clap! Clap!". .
The young man in black suddenly clapped his hands with great sarcasm.
To Austin he said, "You have really shown off your amazing bodily movement skill and your ability to
respond quickly.
But the show is over now."
Then he turned to an elder who stood beside him and said, "Go ahead, Elder Zhou. Let's quickly finish
him off. Adrian must be waiting for us."
Upon him saying this, the elder dressed in blue robes, standing by the young man's side, nodded
slightly in agreement.
Then he stepped forward slowly and said to Austin, "Young man, to tell the truth, your strength is
indeed quite impressive for your age.
But you should know, the hardest steel can also be broken. A man should know when to be in awe."
He said it in an earnest way with a serious look, just like a respected elder who was about to launch
into an earnest expostulation of the younger generation.
He continued by saying, "However, you will have no chance to comprehend it.
Since you have killed a member of the Thunder Sect, you have nowhere to go on the southern
continent.
You've just entered hell."
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's see whose fist is the mightier.
Don't act like a sissy," said Austin scornfully.
The air around the elder bristled with his outrage at Austin's insults.
"You are asking for your death!" threatened the elder, with a livid face.
He took a step forward, and the next moment, he suddenly disappeared.
When the elder began moving, Austin had mentally sensed a great impending danger.
He had thought to himself, 'The elder is really powerful.'
The moment the figure of the old man in blue had disappeared, Austin's facial expression had also
changed slightly. Instantly, he used his spiritual sense to scan the area around him, trying to locate the
elder's position.
"Sizz"
A scarlet palm, angled like a sharp knife, suddenly appeared at Austin's left shoulder and cut towards
his neck at lightning speed.
As the knife-like palm gleamed wickedly, Austin's spiritual sense had accurately sensed it. His eyes
narrowed into slits from caution, and he responded with blinding speed. The impact of the scarlet palm
disturbed the very molecules of the air which rose up violently, cutting off a few strands of Austin's
hair.
