The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Upon hearing them, Austin realized that the others assumed that like them, he too, had been trapped in this place.

He couldn't help laughing.

"Guys, I'm going to be honest with you.

| own this place now," Austin said straightforwardly.

He thought there was no need to keep this secret from the cultivators.

After all, they were no longer a match for him.

Since they were unequal to him in terms of power and strength, Austin had no reason to worry.

"Excuse me?"

"What did you say?

This city is yours?"

"I'm confused. How can this city be yours?"

Austin's announcement left them shocked and baffled.

A couple of minutes later, the cultivators got over the shock.

"Austin, you must be kidding us.

How can you own this city?"

Tyson asked skeptically.

The other cultivators started at Austin as they waited for his response.

"I'm serious.

| decide whether or not you leave here.

So, what | should do about you?" Austin responded.

The indifferent tone in his voice surprised the others.

"Con, Austin, do you think you can fool me?

For me, you're as weak as an ant. How dare you try to show off in front of me?

All right. I'll battle you to show you the difference between your strength and mine," Malick retorted disdainfully.

Since Austin had concealed his true vital energy, Malick was under the impression that Austin was still at the medium stage of Sky

Realm.

'Even though his spiritual sense is stronger than mine, | can defeat him. After all, my cultivation base is two realms higher than his,

' Malick mused.

"Then why don't you challenge me?"

Austin prompted casually as if he hadn't heard Malick's warning.

"Stop bluffing, you brat," Malick hissed.

Austin's attitude annoyed him more.

As Malick stretched out his hand, a long saber materialized.

In the next instant, he emitted a strong blade intent and directed it at Austin.

"Go to hell!" Malick shouted.

Then, he swung his saber at Austin.

The other cultivators shivered when they saw the blade light.

It appeared as though Malick intended to kill the lad in one attack.

"You're from the Sky Sect, and you hate my guts. | can't let you live," Austin murmured.

Determination flickered in Austin's eyes, and in the next second, a sword light glimmered, and the Lightning Sword appeared in his

right hand.

Austin swung his sword at Malick.

A sword aura containing thunderbolt power, which was 25 times faster than sound, charged at its target.

It shattered the blade light emitted by Malick in a flash.

Then, the sword light headed for Malick. Thunder echoed, and lightning flashed as the light hit its target.

"You..."

Astonishment was written all over Malick's face. He glared at Austin as if he had seen a ghost.

He was bewildered yet terrified by Austin's power. Besides, he didn't want to lose like this.

A second later, "Crack! Crack!"

Cracking sounds echoed as the light cut Malick in half.

Blood pooled on the ground as the two halves of Malick's body fell to the ground.

'How can this be possible?’

Everyone including Tyson, Gordon, and Jake were paralyzed with shock by the scene.

'Austin had cut a Master Realm cultivator, who practiced blade skill, in half. What's more, he killed Malick in one blow.

And Malick had no tto defend himself from Austin's attack.

After a few minutes, a voice broke the silence.

"Au... Austin. You are at the premium stage of Master Realm now!"

Tyson said, surprised.

The other cultivators also stared at Austin, their eyes filled with amazement.

The last tthey met Austin, he was at the medium stage of Sky Realm.

It was about six months from the last tthey saw Austin.

But Austin had reached the premium stage of Master Realm.

No wonder they found it hard to believe that Austin could have progressed so quickly in such a short span.

"Who else wants to challenge me?" Austin asked, glancing at the other cultivators.

He looked composed as if nothing had happened.

He had wiped out many Astral Realm masters during these days.

According to his current battle power, he could annihilate dozens of Master Realm cultivators at the preliminary stage, in moments.

"Austin, | didn't think you could enter the premium stage of Master Realm in such a short time.

You're a genius!" Tyson praised.

He treated Austin respectfully after learning of Austin's real strength.

Gordon and Jake were also afraid of Austin.

They were aware that it would be quite easy for him to kill them.

The cultivators at the premium stage of Imperial Realm stared at Austin with terror-struck eyes.

"Austin, what did you mean when you said that the city belongs to you?

Do you expect us to stay here and take orders from you?"

Jake asked, gingerly.

"Austin, you're the best cultivator here.

Besides, you killed that old crooked man.

From now on, | pledge allegiance to you and swear to follow your orders,"

Tyson said decidedly after a moment's hesitation.

‘Austin is stronger than us. No doubt he has total authority in this place, ' he thought.

"I'll serve you too, Austin," Gordon followed.

Gordon trusted Tyson enough to follow his example and swear loyalty to Austin. Gordon's expression reflected his sincerity.

too. Master Austin, you're the new master of this place,"

Jake eventually said.

"Yes, Master Austin. You are our new leader!" the City Guardians said in chorus after exchanging brief glances with one another.

About twenty City Guardians were at the premium stage of Imperial Realm.

After hearing what Tyson, Gordon, and Jake had said, the City Guardians made their choice as well.

Although several cultivators and City Guardians gave their allegiance to Austin, about ten cultivators, including the leaders of the

Flying Fish Sect, the Evergreen Sect, the Iron Palm Sect and their disciples, who were at the premium stage of Imperial Realm,

remained silent.

They continued to stare at Austin silently, hesitation reflecting in their eyes.

Keller, Teddy, and Nick, the three leaders, were arrogant. After all, they were the sect leaders.

They were reluctant to serve Austin.

"What about you?"

Austin asked as he turned to the three sect leaders.

"Austin, we'll live in peace with you here. We promise not to bother you.

What do you say?"

Teddy proposed.

"No way. | am in charge of this place,"

Austin refused, shaking his head.

'The cultivators from the Flying Fish Sect, Evergreen Sect, and Iron Palm Sect ended up here because they followed me, just as

Malick had done.

They don't have good intentions. Certainly not toward me.

| won't show them any mercy if they refuse to serve me, ' he thought.

"All right.

Since you're unwilling to follow me, I'll kill all of you," he said coldly.

Austin lifted his Lightning Sword slowly.

At the sight, the three sect leaders and their followers were shocked. They took a step back.

"Wait. We're willing to follow you," the three sect leaders blurted out.

They knew that they wouldn't be able to withstand Austin's attack.

So they yielded.

"So all of you will work forfrom now on?" Austin asked.

At the stime, he stared at each of the cultivators.

"Yes, Master Austin," the rest said.

They all felt jittery and frightened as Austin studied their expressions.

The cultivators fell to their knees to show Austin that they were sincere.

As Austin looked at the kneeling cultivators, a thought dawned on him.

‘Perhaps | should recruit more people.

This way, I'll have more men at my disposal.’
