The strong man didn't launch another attack on Austin. Staring at the ground with his head hung low,
he had completely broken down with frustration.
"If you don't want to fight anymore, just get out of here then. Get lost!" Austin snapped impatiently.
He flicked his sleeve, throwing the strong man backwards. The strong man fell onto the troops of the
Purple Sword Sect, toppling a few soldiers.
The strong man who was a genuine medium-grade divine god of a supreme universe couldn't even
defend himself in a simple confrontation with Austin.
"Are all the members of the Purple Sword Sect as weak as this loser?
I want to go a few rounds with someone stronger."
Austin shook his head in disappointment.
"Watch your tongue, you brat!
I'm going to bring you down!"
"How dare you insult our sect like that? You are dead meat!"
Hearing Austin's remarks, more than ten masters of the Purple Sword Sect were enraged. They
dashed towards Austin at full speed.
They were all genuine medium-grade divine gods.
"Less crap talk, more action. Just show me what you've got,"
Austin said flatly and rolled his eyes as he stood still.
Each of the masters of the Purple Sword Sect was an excellent swordsman. Austin was elated to see
them charge at him though he didn't show it on his face.
"Die and go to hell!"
The sword cultivators performed their most powerful sword skills against Austin, one after another.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Dazzling sword radiance filled the air and rained down on Austin like supercharged bolts of lightning.
Unfazed, Austin didn't even move at all. The five truths of swordsmanship as well as the world of
swordsmanship in his body absorbed all the sword aura and sword intent thrown at him.
He occasionally shook off the sharp swords that were landed and impaled his body.
The attacking masters roared and released all their power and strength.
It was a sharp and even laughable contrast with Austin who looked calm and composed.
"Maple, you are right.
Mr. Lin is not as simple as one would initially think.
He is totally awesome!"
Maple's brother remarked, almost dumbfounded at the unfolding scene.
Maple didn't respond. She stared at Austin with deep admiration in her beautiful eyes. The sight of
Austin's calm composure was breathtaking for her.
"Die, you bastard! Just die!"
The masters of the Purple Sword Sect surrounded Austin and raised their sharp swords and lunged at
him with their full might.
Their actions were futile as the endless sword aura and sword intent they had released were
seamlessly absorbed as soon as they landed on Austin's body.
"It's not that boring anymore. But you are still too weak and I am still disappointed.
It looks like I have overestimated you. Again, what a disappointment!"
Austin said as he shook his head.
Hearing Austin's words, the masters of the Purple Sword Sect felt like they were kicked in the nuts.
They joined hands together to pool their energies, but he stood still and yawned while fighting them
effortlessly.
Austin's attitude enraged them further.
After an hour, Austin, now extremely bored waved his hand, sending his attackers from the Purple
Sword Sect pummeling in the opposite direction.
"I'm done wasting my time on you. Is there someone else who wants to challenge me?" Austin called
out.
Austin didn't take their lives because he planned to turn them into his slaves.
After all, these masters were divine gods and he could put them to good use in the days to come.
At this point, an eerie silence had enveloped the space.
Everyone who witnessed what happened just stared at Austin in shock.
Even Elder Roland was surprised by Austin's performance.
'Who the hell is this guy? He should have been famous for his terrifying fighting power by now.
But I have never heard of him,'
Elder Roland thought to himself as he knit his brows in confusion.
Just then, a genuine premium-grade divine god of the Purple Sword Sect came out and stood opposite
Austin.
"Boy, I have underestimated you. But you shouldn't have messed with our sect.
Now that you have provoked us, you will only end up dead!"
he roared at Austin.
He had barely finished talking when his body emitted bright sword radiance, which was an indication
that he was an outstanding swordsman.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
A series of slicing sounds was heard as thousands of sharp swords appeared in front of him. Each
sword was a high-grade divine weapon.
The master of the Purple Sword Sect pointed at the swords and they merged into a giant sword. It
slashed across the void and over at Austin.
"Interesting!"
Austin nodded his head with his hands still behind his back, unflinching.
"You arrogant bastard!"
The master of the Purple Sword Sect was pissed off by Austin's actions. His eyes were ablaze with
anger. He had pulled out his best skills, but his opponent remained stoic, which hurt his pride.
The master became more furious and determined to crush Austin to death. He then infused all his
energy into the huge sword.
Meanwhile, under Austin's control, the five truths of swordsmanship in his body flew out at the same
time and effectively blocked the huge sword, making it impossible to get closer to him.
Then, shockingly, the five truths of swordsmanship began drawing sword aura and sword intent from
the huge sword.
In the span of mere seconds, they had absorbed all the sword aura and sword intent in it.
With no sword aura and sword intent remaining, the huge sword began to disintegrate, breaking down
into hundreds of thousands of divine swords—its original state.
Austin waved his sleeve and seamlessly put away all the divine swords.
"How... how the hell... did you do that? !"
The master of the Purple Sword Sect was completely dumbstruck. He stared blankly at Austin with
shock and confusion written all over his face.
'This brat has withstood my all-out attack without even breaking a sweat.
That doesn't make any sense,' the master thought to himself in frustration.
"What's going on?
Why did the strength of my sword skills suddenly drop like crazy?"
The master of the Purple Sword Sect pondered painfully, appalled at his discovery.
Austin had already absorbed a lot of his sword aura and sword intent,
which led to the regression of his sword skills.
In contrast, Austin had made good progress in swordsmanship.
"Get Lost!"
Austin waved his sleeve and picked up the divine god. He then threw him back to his companions.
"Looks like the people of the Purple Sword Sect are not as strong as we had thought.
I expected some of you to be more powerful.
Well, how about this?
All of you can group together and fight me,"
Austin challenged as he glanced at the troops of the Purple Sword Sect.
"What the hell did he say? !
Did this brat just say that he wants to take on all of us!"
The people of the Purple Sword Sect went ballistic when they heard Austin's mocking tone.
But after seeing his display of terrifying strength,
none of them dared to challenge him to a duel.
Elder Roland stared at Austin with mixed feelings.
Although he looked calm and composed, he was actually shaken up from the inside.
'Pfft. What's this brat's real strength? How strong could he be?'
Elder Roland wondered.
He unleashed his spiritual sense to check Austin's strength but the scan returned with nothing.
He trembled in fear as he slightly faded.
"All right, then.
I will do as you wish.
Everyone, listen up! All of you attack this brat together and tear him into pieces,"
Elder Roland announced to everyone present after a moment of thought.
"Excuse me?
Elder Roland, you want all of us to attack this brat?"
The masters of the Purple Sword Sect were all shocked by Elder Roland's order.
'If the news of what we're about to do got out,
we would become the laughingstock in the Sword Cosmos even if we defeated this brat,'
they thought to themselves.
"From here on, do as I say. Those who disobey my orders shall be severely punished, after we come
back!"
Elder Roland said.
The young man in front of him was too terrifying and mysterious to mess with.
Even Elder Roland himself lacked the confidence to fight him, let alone defeat him.
In order to figure out the young man's real strength, he had to give the order.
