The Supreme God of Martial Arts

But Austin had earlier discovered a large group of people closing in on the valley.

This was because his spiritual sense was much more powerful. It was impossible to successfully launch a sneak attack at Austin without his noticing it, even if the attacker was a master of the Imperial Realm.

"This doesn't seem to be a peaceful night..." Sensing the rough strength of the threat posed by the group on their trail, Austin remained calm and shook his head slightly.

Just as he was considering whether or not to tell the other martial artists in the valley about the approaching threat, an evil male voice reverberated through the air. It emanated from the outside of the valley and it echoed down the slopes of granite stone like a forlorn ghost's cry.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo... Catching you is like catching a turtle in a jar—a sure catch! Argh, argh, argh... Tonight, no one can flee away from this valley!" High winds accompanied the cutting evil sounds which defiled the valley! Instantly the peace was utterly broken and the valley erupted into chaos...

"There is an attack! Alarm!" "Move quickly! Guard the Lady!" "Here cthe bastards of the Black Wind Valley again!" The martial artists in the valley quickly formed a defensive array, surrounding the luxury carriage in layers of protection to safeguard the Lady in it from being attacked.

"Miss, don't worry. We will fight to the death in your defense!" a martial artist in white robes, who was at the premium stage of the Mysterious Realm, pledged aloud.

A number of martial artists, holding their weapons, rushed forth from their tents with their clothes in disarray and missing their matching tops.

The five masters of the Sky Realm also quickly rushed outside to stand in the line and face the entrance of the valley.

Soon, by the light of the campfire, a group of martial artists clothed in black robes appeared at the entrance, blocking the only way out of the canyon.

"Swoosh..." A young man in a black robe stepped forward from the deep shadows beyond the campfire.

He had a hooknose, and his eyes were as greedy as a vulture's. With a thread of vital energy circulating in his elixir field, a thunder-like momentum formed and an invisible pressure was exerted over an area of about 50 meters around him. In a second, it was as if the very space was being squeezed. Everyone facing him felt as if they were suffocating, and they couldn't get rid of this feeling. It was as if they were stuck in whirlpool, and the very air was being sucked from their lungs! The five masters of the Sky Realm, the gentle woman, as well as the four middle-aged men all felt the mighty aura that radiated from the young man in the black robes. They could feel that their vital energy quivered within their bodies and threatened to be snuffed out. Even their eyelids shook within this intense pressure. They were becoming increasingly nervous.

"That guy's strength is at a level higher than the master of the Sky Realm in our group," said a voice nervously.

Austin narrowed his eyes and studied the strange and evil man robed in black.

Then he noticed that the martial artists cowering behind him were all masters of the Sky Realm and that each of them was not inferior to the gentle woman or each of the four middle-aged men.

"They seem not to stand in any advantage..." Austin glanced unnoticed at the extremely opulent and luxury carriage.

For now, he had no intention of getting involved in this affair.

"Listen, it's useless to struggle..." The black robed man looked at them balefully. Like a hungry vulture leering at smorsel which he was circling with the intent of devouring it. He looked at the luxury carriage, grinning hideously as his face twisted with spite.

"Miss Sissi, with just one glance, our young master has becobsessed with you because of your considerable charm. You are all that is on his mind.

My young master is the Son of the head of the Black Wind Valley and you are the Holy Daughter of the Cyan Sect. It is destiny that you marry him. Sissi, my mission is to bring you back to the Black Wind Valley, so that you can marry my young master.

But you mistook the situation and dared to run away... Ha ha ha... You are surely looking for death! However, you needn't be nervous or afraid. I'm under orders to return you to marry my young master.

Miss Sissi, frankly speaking, if you submit to my master's wishes, I'll treat you with due respect and return you to the Black Wind Valley. But if you dare to stand up againstor try to run away, don't blme for treating you rudely...

Do you understand? Ha ha ha..." Instantly, the weird man burst into conspicuous laughter echoed by the laughter of the other martial artists behind him. The effect of their insane giggling was most disturbing, and a chill passed through the group guarding the lady.

"The Holy Daughter of the Cyan Sect?" Austin was a little surprised. Generally speaking, in a sect, the young cultivators who were chosen as the Son or the Holy Daughter held an extremely high status, because they represented not only their sect but also all of its young cultivators.

Austin had thought that the Lady in the carriage might be a beloved daughter of a famous clan in the Elite Holy Kingdom and that the martial artists in the group were hired to protect her. Unexpectedly, she turned out to be the Holy Daughter of the Cyan Sect, so naturally the martial artists that protected her must also cfrom the Cyan Sect. They had disguised themselves as a team of merchants to hide their identities and the identity of their precious passenger. However, they were still found out by the members of the Black Wind Valley.

The weird man in black robes looked over the Cyan Sect members in the valley with a thinly disguised vicious intent in his eyes.

"I said that my mission was to return Miss Sissi to the Black Wind Valley. As for the others, slay all the men and capture the women alive. They made us spend much energy to locate them, so we have to find something interesting to reward us... Humph! Miss Sissi, | am not usually so merciless, but during the more than a month of chasing after you, a lot of my men were killed by your protectors from the Cyan Sect.

If | don't exact a punishment, I'm afraid that my subordinates will becdiscontented!" As soon as he had finished speaking in his vicious voice, he fixed his lustful eyes on the gentle woman and swallowed his eager salivation.

"That woman looks hot. She is mine. As for the other women, they are yours. Do with them as you like.." The gentle woman's face was cold, but panic and fear flashed in her eyes. Despite the threat of violence and abuse, she raised her chin defiantly.

"Humph! Bastards from the Black Wind Valley, how dare you offend our Cyan Sect. Fuck off!" Suddenly, the brutally strong man who carried a saber on his back, drew his weapon and, swooping down like an eagle, he cut a glittering arc towards the leader of the Black Wind Valley group.

The flash of the saber cut through midair, moving down as quickly as a meteor shooting through the atmosphere of the suction void.

Seeing this, the man in black robes curled one corner of his mouth, sneering. Then he stepped forward and reached out his index finger with the speed of lightning.

"You're looking for death! Fast Light Finger!" He pointed his index finger at the brutally strong man, and green light followed in his finger's wake. The great strength contained in his finger left an imprint within the void. It caused a vortex to form which struck the strong man with its maw.

There followed the meaty sound of flesh being pierced through.

Their fight had happened so fast that those who witnessed it just saw a flash and then heard a muffled sound before they could even comprehend what had happened.

Frosty air shaped like a sharp needle had instantly pierced through the burly man's right shoulder.
