The Supreme God of Martial Arts

A dozen Master Realm warriors who ran after Austin were closing on him already.

They would catch up with Austin in less than ten seconds.

As elites from five major sects in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, these Holy Sons and Daughters and the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch were all experts in the Master Realm cultivation base and occult martial arts skill. They were the best of the best so to speak.

They had effortlessly matched Austin's speed as they exercised their bodily movement skills.

What was more, Austin was heavily wounded, which slowed down and restricted his movements.

Austin relied on his elixirs and divine energy crystals in order to replenish his vital energy, which helped in boosting his Thunderbolt Movement Skill despite of his handicap.

However his injured energy meridians and poor vital energy circulation gradually lowered his speed.

During these kinds of emergencies, Austin made sure that he was linked with the City in his pocket via his spiritual sense so he could easily teleport himself into the City anythe needed to. It was his last resort when things went stale.

But Austin was very reluctant to teleport himself into the City when the eyes of those pursuing warriors were fixed on him, because they would definitely discover his secret hideout in a flash.

It would be disastrous if anyone would find out about Austin's secret weapon. It would definitely wreck his plans.

For example, someone could arrange for an array which had the ability to cripple spatial teleportation in advance once they knew what Austin was capable of this time. If that happened, Austin would be certainly cornered.

But because of the critical situation, Austin decided not to overthink everything despite of the risk. Getting out alive was his top priority.

Determined, Austin lifted his head and looked around.

He noticed a small col not far from him. It was filled with jagged and grotesque rocks which varied in sizes. Swere small while swere taller than a normal adult.

Without further hesitation, Austin flew straight towards the col with a plan in mind.

In the blink of an eye, he delivered a dozen punches and smashed sof the jagged rocks into powder.

With every explosion of rocks, clouds of fine dust danced in the air within the col. It was as if a sand storm was passing by the area.

As the dust swirling about created a blanket of mist, Austin took this chance and teleported himself into the City, vanishing into thin air.

The City then shrunk into a grain of sand and mingled with the dust which filled the sky. . . . .

Boom, boom, boom.

Just a few seconds after Austin disappeared, a dozen figures cracked open the space and landed in the small col.

The Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch, the Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect, Mr. Gold Hand of the Magic Hand Sect, and the Holy Daughter of the New Moon Sect all arrived at the area together.

The Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect gently tapped the giant puppet bird, and as the bird flapped its wings, two hurricanes began to form and drove the blanket of dust away.

All the stones and dust were sent flying into the sky, which cleared the entire col.

But alas, Austin was nowhere to be found.

The entire col was cleared out but there was no trace of Austin at all. It was as if he just vanished into thin air.

Everyone released their spiritual sense and began to sense and search every nook and cranny within the col.

A dozen spiritual sense swept up and over between the cols.

While everyone was busy searching for Austin, another dozen warriors in the Master Realm cultivation base also arrived in the scene.

A majority of the warriors on the platform had cultivation base of Imperial Realm, but a small part of them were Master Realm warriors.

Everyone saw clearly that Austin had rushed into this small col but he never left, yet they couldn't sense him anywhere like he had disappeared into thin air.

This was thanks to the ability of Austin's City, which could isolate itself and prevent being detected via spiritual sense, unless masters whose cultivation base were above Astral Realm came. They could locate the City if they searched hard enough.

Everybody fervently searched for Austin's whereabouts using their spiritual senses for quite stime.

Despite that, nobody was able to find even a single trace of Austin's presence.

The Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch and several Holy Sons and Daughters stood there, quiet and sullen.

They lost Austin in broad daylight in this small area, not to mention Austin was already wounded when they lost him, they would be totally embarrassed if this news got out to the people. Their pride was crushed.

Thousands of warriors in the Imperial Realm cultivation base also descended and swamped into the small col.

The extra hands and manpower searched every inch of earth in the crevice. They were like ants swarming all over the place.

Many warriors urged their vital energy and dug a hole a dozen meters deep.

The col suddenly turned into an excavation pit! The Master Realm masters soared up into the sky and suspended themselves above the col, their spiritual sense locking the col tightly.

Half a day had already passed but clues to Austin's whereabouts were still nowhere in sight. More and more warriors began to give up and cursed as they left one by one.

"Hhm, Austin must have had ssort of hidden weapon on him which could shrink according to his needs," the tall thin young man who led the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch guessed as he stared at the col, his face sullen and unreadable.

"l agree!" "This is the only logical reason to explain Austin's sudden disappearance!" All the other Master Realm masters leaned over curiously upon hearing their leader's suggestion.

"Right this moment, Austin must be hiding inside a concealed weapon, and that weapon must be somewhere nearby." "Well, yes, let us say that your theory is true. But we have searched every inch in this col with our spiritual sense; moreover we have searched closely over and over again the entire area. And yet we haven't found one single trace of the man," one of them said.

All the other Master Realm masters kept quiet but silently agreed with the statement.

"I suggest we stay here for a dozen days and keep guard of the area. It's our only lead, and our only choice right now, rather than just leave without even trying. Our pride is at stake here," the leader of the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch sighed as he laid out his plan.

After agreeing to the plan, the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch of the Sky Sect encircled the col and sat in ten different positions.

Mr. Gold Hand of the Magic Hand Sect and the Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect also intended to set up camp somewhere near the col.

"What should we do, Winnie?" Isis turned her head and asked the Holy Daughter of the New Moon Sect.

"Let's stay here for a few days to see if we could succeed in finding and catching Austin." Swarriors left after hearing the plan, while schose to stay. Gradually silence fell on the col again. . . .

Meanwhile, Austin appeared in a street inside the City.

Violet and the gnimmediately jumped out of the Illusion Bead upon sensing Austin's return.

"Master, look at you. You are seriously wounded," Violet anxiously said, worry filled her voice as she saw Austin's state.

"I never expected that blow which | received head on containing the combined strength of the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch could be so powerful.

| would have died if | hadn't taken out two low-grade divine weapons and one medium-grade divine weapon to protectand lessen the impact of their attack. It was like getting hit by an extremely destructive storm." Austin's heart was still quivering with fear, and his whole body was still shaking with the memory of his encounter with the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch.

"How are you feeling now? You wounds look so bad," the gnworriedly said as he gazed at Austin's pale face.

"lI am not supposed to die, remember? | still have a lot to do." Austin gave a wry smile. He could feel the throb of pain inside his body with his every movement.

"Lad, your energy meridians seemed to be heavily wounded. Take the Earthly Mother Essence immediately. It would help hasten the recovery of your energy meridians," the gngently reminded Austin.

"Really? Why haven't | thought of that before?!" Austin got pleasantly surprised.

It was true that his energy meridians were seriously damaged. Sof them had even cracked open, which attributed to the poor circulation of his vital energy. They were like broken hoses which were leaking with water.

His vital energy cultivation base would be adversely affected if the damaged energy meridians did not recover. It was a risk he was not willing to take.

Thinking of this, Austin seated himself and took out a bottle of the Earthly Mother Essence and chugged it in his mouth.

With a wave of his hand, piles of superior vital energy crystals formed a thick vital energy crystal bubble which encircled Austin tightly.

Over a hundred divine vital energy crystals piled around Austin, which gave off a dazzling light. It was as if Austin was sparkling.

Meanwhile, Austin took out a batch of elixirs with different levels from his Space Ring and drank them one-by-one.

Then, he sat quietly and meditated as he began his healing process.

The Earthly Mother Essence seeped into every wounded energy meridian as it entered Austin's body. It was so effective in healing his wounds and which helped swiftly recover those wounded energy meridians.

The elixirs which he drank also transformed into streams of tremendous spiritual energy, which efficiently nourished Austin's internal organs.

With the use of his mind, he controlled the golden ball in his elixir field which also flew out and was suspended in front of him.

The vital energy contained in the piles of divine vital energy crystals and superior vital energy crystals poured into the golden light like a mighty ocean, as beams of gold radiated in his elixir field.

As the elixirs and energy crystals slowly took effect, Austin only felt that his body was surrounded by a rich and abundant spiritual energy. Even his breathing began to feel less labored and gradually settled into a calm rhythm.

He could feel that his wounds gradually healed and recovered.
