The Supreme God of Martial Arts

The man who spoke had a prominent spiritual sense capability with which he could easily sense the destruction the fight had made in the surrounding area.

"That is true! The fight was violent and intense!" another person pointed out. Upon hearing this, all the remaining members of the group nodded their heads in agreement.

Then, as if on cue, they all lifted their heads and looked at the distant sky. A floating object grabbed their attention.

Through the thick clouds, they could see that there was a giant bird puppet advancing towards them.

Flying at the speed of light, the bird puppet whizzed over their heads thrice and circled in the air before finally landing in front of them.

The Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect and his three principal disciples slithered down from the back of the bird a few moments after it touched down. Standing in front of the ten disciples, the Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect held out his hand and waved it quickly in the air. Instantly, a dozen of thin-as-hair black shadows emerged and floated down on his palm.

They were svery tiny gnat puppets that inhabited in this area.

Needless to say, these gnat puppets had witnessed what had happened between Austin and the Holy Daughter a few minutes ago.

Utilizing his spiritual sense, the Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect felt the experience of the insects in his palm.

After getting all the information he needed, he dismissed the insect servants and turned to the ten disciples.

"Austin has just had a big fight with the Holy Daughter Winnie of the New Moon Sect before we arrived," he claimed.

"What? Austin was fighting against Winnie?" Consternation was evident on the faces of the ten disciples.

"How did the fight end?" one of them asked hastily.

Apparently, the mere mention of Austin's npiqued their interest.

"Winnie lost and ran away," the Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect answered. Doubt could be heard from his tone.

With his eyebrows furrowed, he obviously didn't expect that to happen.

"What the hell!" all the ten disciples exclaimed in chorus.

They all started feeling numb. "Are... are you telling the truth? Is that really what happened here?" one of them asked, trying to confirm whether they heard things correctly.

For them, such a scenawas impossible to happen.

For one thing, Winnie did not fight Austin alone, for they had known that she had the support of Isis. Another thing was, they all knew what Winnie was capable of doing. Her Phoenix Secret Skill was something that many feared, and it had served as one of her biggest advantage over all the other elites in the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.

It was a fact that none of the disciples of the Ten Prominent Disciples of Punishment Branch could stand up against the Holy Daughter of the New Moon Sect if they had to fight her on the one-on-one basis.

But even with the combined attacks of all ten of them, they still might require a series of hard strikes and a lot of effort to defeat her.

But what happened? Did Winnie really run away instead of taking on Austin head-to-head in battle? They could hardly believe their ears! "That is impossible! Winnie retreated? Never!" one of them said, still refusing to believe the story being presented to them. Now, all of them were gawking at the Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect, their faces full of uncertainty and fear.

"That is what the gnat puppets saw. | dispatched them in this area just so they could keep an eye on Austin," he replied lightly. Despite not showing it outwardly, he was also wondering what situation led to Winnie's concession and untimely defeat.

Silence befell the area. Everyone was deep in their own thoughts as they contemplated how Austin had gained such a remarkable capacity to be able to upgrade his strength in such a short period of time.

Having the ability to compete against the Holy Daughter of the New Moon Sect proved that his powers had reached a state already beyond imagination! "This Austin must have been consistently working on his skills when we were looking everywhere for him. If this situation continues to go on like this, it is very likely that Austin will becnumber one threat to the Sky Sect in the near future.

Before that disastrous tcomes, we should eliminate Austin immediately!" After saying that, the thin and tall disciple took out a jade slip from his pocket.

The jade slip was a weapon that could be used to track targets, much like how a police dog would track a criminal by their scent.

After it revolved on his palm a few seconds, the jade slip quickly located the direction that Austin went.

The Ten Prominent Disciples of the Punishment Branch set off at once and chased after their target.

The Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect followed them too. 'Austin, | swear | won't go back to my sect if | don't finish your despicable life today. You stole the treasure of the Sword Emperor and the unique formula of the Fire Stela. Don't expectto show you any mercy after what you have done!" he thought to himself, rage burning wildly in his chest.

After motioning to his three principal disciples, he climbed back onto his giant bird puppet and immediately took off.

The giant bird puppet, upon unfurling its immense, gigantic wings, instantly soared through the air and glided as fast as a flying arrow towards Austin's direction. . . .

At this point, the explosive news had already spread throughout the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. Everyone was intrigued and actively participated in the gossip.

It was said that a man named Austin had gotten the Fire Stela, a powerful entity that had been on display for over a thousand years.

What was more important was that the Fire Stela contained very powerful and mysterious formulae that were unique to this world.

Upon swallowing that, it was very likely that Austin had acquired those unique formulae that everyone had been unsuccessfully chasing after for years.

The first reaction the news elicited was doubt and suspicion. Most of the people had never heard of Austin and had never known that he had such power.

However, given the fact that thousands of fighters had witnessed what happened with their own two eyes, no one could deny the truth, no matter how ridiculous it sounded.

Austin becfamous over the night.

In the entire Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, the Fire Stela had been considered as a treasure. Every fighter who knew of its existence would be willing to risk everything just to lay their hands on it. Unfortunately, no one of them had the ability to obtain it.

But now, an ordinary guy who cfrom God knows where had stolen it and somehow had the ability to make contact with it? No one could have guessed that.

There was no way people would remain calm and indifferent to the news that was flaring up. . .

After avoiding the Ten Prominent Disciples of the Punishment Branch, Austin entered into a crowed street and changed his appearance using his Appearance-transforming Clothes.

This time, for caution's sake, he turned himself into an ordinary looking middle-aged man. He acted like a vulgar man who had the habit of joining lively parties and chitchatting after a busy day's work. Huddling in the crowd made it impossible for anyone to discern his identity.

He thought of how the Ten Prominent Disciples of the Punishment Branch identified him among the crowd last time, and it made him beceven more cautious about his surroundings.

They must have used sspecial arcane spell to help locate him, otherwise they would have never recognized him just by his face. The arcane spell must be something that had the ability of tracking soul auras or spiritual senses.

Truth be told, they made a good use of Austin's weakness in this respect.

Although his Appearance-transforming Clothes could help him change his appearance, the thing it could not alter was his soul aura or his spiritual sense.

So, having learned his lesson from last time, Austin did not dare to head for sbig, famous place.

Instead, although inconvenient, he chose an outlying village and secluded mountain road for his march.

Ten days later, Austin finally got to the Elixir City.

Stopping at the gate of the Elixir City, he drew a deep, luxurious breath. With it, he released his long-accumulated tension he had been carrying. After entering, he quickly began searching for a sect named Magic Hand Sect.

The Magic Hand Sect was a place where Angus' daughter lived.

She was the Holy Daughter of the sect five hundred years ago.

But considering that five hundred years had already passed since then, Austin had anticipated that the Holy Daughters of the Magic Hand Sect had already been switched many times over that long period of time.

If she was still alive, she must have beca great master of her sect whom everyone showed their respect to.

Given his circumstances, Austin knew that he could not just randomly ask a person on the street about her whereabouts although he knew that everyone definitely knew her.

For one thing, inquiring about a great master from strangers would easily bring warnings and alarm in the city. Second, if any fighter of the Sky Sect had succeeded to pry information about him and was already on his track due to his carelessness, his enemies would definitely swarm the area, putting not only his life at risk, but also all the innocent people around him.
