The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin, Violet, and the gnheaded for the imperial capital city of the FlKingdom. But their journey was interrupted in

between by a shout.

"Sir, Miss, you must leave as quickly as possible. Let us handle them."

An anxious shout suddenly reached their ears and they stopped in their paths.

Then Austin saw a group of people rushing towards them from the woods in front of them. They were looking rather embarrassed.

The group consisted of about a hundred members and they were being led by an old man.

Judging by their clothes, they were from the ssect.

The old man clad in grey and evidently the strongest and the thinnest of them all was walking at the end of the line, urging the

people in front to speed up.

"Elder Spencer, no! We should run together.

| cannot leave you alone to fight the enemy."

There was a young man and a young woman — both well-dressed — in the line, and apparently they were protected by the others

of the group.

"Sorry sir! Sorry miss! We have no other choice. I'll only slow you down and if we move at such a low pace, they'll catch us pretty

soon and none of us will make it out of here alive.

You are the only remaining children of our leader, and with you lie the hopes of the future of our Merry Gang. We need you to

escape.

You must try and find a place to hide.

You'll rebuild the Merry Gang someday in the future,"

the old man replied sadly.

"And you, you must do your best to assist them.

You're the only remaining members of our Merry Gang.

In fact, you all are the elite disciples of our Merry Gang. Our gang has been treating you very well over the last few years and it's

tto prove that worth. You must carry out your duties conscientiously and protect the two of them,"

the old man told the others.

"Yes, Elder Spencer! We will do our best to protect them and will never turn our back on the Merry Gang. Our loyalties lie with you,"

the rest of them responded in unison and assured the old man. Even with their resolve, they looked sad and their eyes were red.

"Very well.

Now, get out of here as soon as possible.

| will cover you and distract the enemy. | hope you make it out of here safely,"

the old man in gray urgently told them to run.

"It's too late.

| am not going to let a single person of your Merry Gang escape.

Humph! Traitors! You betrayed the empire. The emperor explicitly issued an edict that you must enter the imperial capital city and

accept the arrangements of the royal family. All you had to was follow the king. And yet...

How dare you run away without permission!

You must be sentenced to death!"

Suddenly, a cold voice resounded in the air, and a tall figure appeared in the distance.

He was wearing a gilded armor and a solemn expression. There was the dignified look of a general on his face.

"Hurry up! Run!"

the old man shouted fretfully as he saw the general. His face had changed tically.

Then, he stretched out his hands, and ten streams of powerful vital energy rushed out of his fingertips in an instant.

Each of these streams morphed into one of several kinds of diabolic beasts that existed in the world. A tiger, leopard, wolf, and

seven other beasts attacked the general. They raised their heads and roared at the sky. This was going to be a powerful fight.

"What are you waiting for? Run!"

the old man roared at the people of the Merry Gang as he launched his attack.

"Take care, Elder Spencer."

The young man and the young woman, who were being called sir and miss by the old man in grey, gritted their teeth and then ran

away with the others. The woman was constantly looking back to see if the elder was okay.

"Oh that's okay. They can't escape anyway,"

the general announced with a playful smile. He stretched out his hand, and a shiny iron spear appeared in his hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Within seconds of its appearance, the spear rushed out of the general's hands and targeted the old man.

Ah!

In a single move, the old man was stabbed in the shoulder and a wound as big as a bowl appeared on his shoulder. The velocity

was so much that he was thrown away immediately.

The general then walked towards the old man and lifted him up from his collars.

For sreason, he did not go after the people of the Merry Gang, and merely sneered at them. They were fleeing quickly yet here

he was, holding the old man with his collars.

"Hah! Not a single one of you will escape today. In no way possible!"

All of a sudden, a young man, who was clad in a shadowy black appeared out of nowhere and ran towards the Merry Gang. He was

so fast that he blocked their way instantly.

"Master, those people are from the Ji Clan. Shall we go over to help?"

Violet asked Austin.

"Wait a minute."

Austin held her back.

The twere standing high in the sky in the distance, keeping a close eye on what was going on below them. They were just

floating in the air as if the clouds were a carpet.

"Get out of the way!"

Four or five disciples of the Merry Gang roared in fury as they charged at the man who was blocking their way.

"Hah! Don't overestimate yourself! You are rushing into the jaws of death!"

sneered the young man in black.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

There was a sudden flash of white light and a powerful vital energy force cout of his body. With his left hand behind his back

and the right hand chopping at the Merry Gang members in front of them, he easily beat every single one of them. Though he did

not kill them, but most of them were critically injured.

"Humph! You would be dead now if | had wanted to kill you.

| can kill the rubbish sorts like you with just a few moves!"

the young man in black proudly declared. It seemed like he didn't take the disciples of the Merry Gang seriously at all.

Among the disciples of the Merry Gang, even the most powerful one was only at the Bitter Sea Realm.

But this young man in black was at the premium stage of Divine Bridge Realm. The gap between their strengths was huge.

It was obvious that the entire group couldn't beat him no matter what.

They were no match for the young man.

"You guys are from the Ji Clan!

But tellone thing, our Merry Gang has never offended a single person of the Ji Clan. Why are you doing this? What have we

done to you?"

Elder Spencer asked the young man in black in a fearful yet furious tone.

The Merry Gang was a small sect in the FlKingdom and they liked to go about their own merry ways.

Meanwhile, the Ji Clan was a super powerful force in the East Mainland. It was unlikely that the two of them had ever crossed

paths.

Therefore, when Elder Spencer recognized where the man in black was from, he immediately fell into despair. He couldn't take over

this force!

He knew clearly that even with their combined strength, the Ji Clan would catch up with these members of the Merry Gang, no

matter how far they escaped.

That was because the Ji Clan had a strong influence in the East Mainland.

Even with every single member of the gang combined, the group was far from enough to fight the Ji Clan.

"Yes, you are right. | am from the Ji Clan.

And don't you dare dream of running away anymore!

We have been ordered to arrest you on sight. Wherever you choose to escape, it will be useless. We will find you!"

the young man responded coldly.

Boom!

At that moment, a large group of people rushed fiercely from the distance towards them.

They were at their side immediately.

This boom had been made by a troop of soldiers in heavy armors, each holding a long, shining spear, and looking very mighty.

"General Yu!"

The leader of this troop walked up to the general and addressed him respectfully.

"Arrest them! Take them back now,"

ordered the general.

"Yes, sir!"

The leader replied respectfully.

Then a large group of soldiers rushed forwards and encircled the members of the Merry Gang. The latter were already subdued and

did not resist anymore.

"The Merry Gang is doomed! Our last hope is gone!"

the old man in grey muttered to himself. He was completely in despair by now and numb with grief.

"Hang on. Take the rest of these people back.

I'll take care of this girl.

She is rather beautiful, you know — in appearance, and in figure."

The young man in black suddenly seemed to change his mind and find evil intentions. He then appeared right next to the miss of

the Merry Gang, stretched out his hand, and touched her face softly.

"Get away from me!"

the girl screamed in a fearful tone, her face turning pale.

"Let go of my sister, you bastard! I'll kill you!"

the young man of the Merry Gang shouted angrily.

"Rubbish! Do you want to die? | can arrange that!"

The man in black slapped him hard across the face.

The attack was so strong that the young man was thrown into the air.

Austin's eyes grew cold as he watched this scene in the distant sky.

"Let's go! They need our help!"

he told his companions.
