The Supreme God of Martial Arts

The scene in the Trinary Star City was a lazy and solemn one.

Everyone here had been busy either resting or cultivating for the last two days.

The need for this respite arose from the fact that most of them had gotten slightly, or even badly injured during the war the other

day.

Even those who hadn't sustained any injuries had been squeezed out of a great amount of vital energy and needed stto

replenish it.

However, things weren't as bleak as they sounded; most cultivators were back in their peak conditions within two days.

This was mainly thanks to the cultivation resources Austin had provided them with.

An additional benefit was that those abundant training resources, when combined with the tense battle they had faced had let

sof the cultivators make breakthroughs.

When this cto Austin's knowledge, he seemed glad to hear about their progress in cultivation.

Inside the castellan's residence, Austin, the queen, and all those masters whose cultivation bases were at or above the Primal Holy

Realm were gathered in the hall.

"Those demons who attacked us were from the Crescent Kingdom near the Purple Phoenix Holy Kingdom. It is a small one and we

have sgood news.

According to our spies, the number of demons in the Crescent Kingdom is the lowest among all. Only fifty thousand demons stand

guard in that area.

| am planning to attack that kingdom and wipe out every single demon present there. Leave none alive, so to speak,"

Austin announced.

"Sir, we only have slightly more than fifty thousand men right now.

I'm not sure if we can get that country back,"

Clark responded with a frown.

"Yes | know. And there are only over fifty thousand demons in that kingdom. So, no need to worry. We can destroy them," Austin

reassured him with a calm smile.

And he was seconded soon.

"I agree with the commander. Last time, we fought off one hundred thousand demons. This time, it's only fifty thousand or so.

Therefore, I'm sure that we'll succeed this tas well,"

Brandon voiced out his thought.

There was another reason behind his surefire belief of success. "That mysterious demon can take care of more than twenty

thousand demons on its own.

It's not going to be a difficult task for us to slaughter every single demon in that kingdom." He was thinking about Austin's demon.

"Alright, then. If that's the case, I'm okay with that.

And it is true. If we can really wipe out the demons of the Crescent Kingdom, it will be a sign to the demons and will also mark the

success of our retaliation.

That would mean a lot in the long term,"

Clark agreed too.

To be honest, the Southern Alliances Army had been mainly focused on defending its quarters till now, so they had never taken

back any of the kingdoms which the demon race had occupied.

If Austin and his men could destroy all the demons in the Crescent Kingdom, it would mean an entire new kingdom in their folio

and that, in turn, would boost troop morale.

Since Clark and Brandon, who were at the Semi-holy Realm agreed with Austin, the other seven cultivators of the Primal Holy

Realm gladly agreed to his proposal too.

"Round up our men and ready them for a fight. We're going there within the hour,"

Austin commanded.

Clark, Brandon and the seven masters of the Primal Holy Realm immediately nodded and left to convene their men. This was going

to be a good day!

But as soon as they took their leave, Austin and the queen suddenly becalert and suspicion arose on their face.

Using their spiritual sense, the two of them could easily detect that about a dozen people were headed towards their city at a rapid

pace. They were only about a mile away for now, but would get there soon.

Baldwin seemed to be in lead and he looked like a sword-light. Countless streaks of aggressive sword aura were following in his

wake and they seemed like they could destroy everything in their path.

"It's him,"

Austin and the queen remarked in unison, their eyes narrowing simultaneously like clock-work.

Baldwin had forced the two of them to hand over the Magic Sea Water back in the Nonuple Isles. It hadn't been something they

were particularly fond of.

Besides, Austin could also see Colin among those who were following Baldwin.

"Looks like they are here on behalf of the Southern Alliances Army.

Let's go meet them and see what business brings them down here,"

Austin said to the queen.

The next minute, the two of them rose in the air and began floating above the Trinary Star City.

A few seconds passed.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Dozens of people reached the sky above the heart of the Trinary Star City and cto a halt midair, floating like a hover-board,

their clothes billowing in the wind.

Each of them also emitted an overwhelming vital energy force. Its formidable effects enveloped the whole city, and everyone could

sense the tension in the atmosphere.

Even the most powerful ones down below could feel it and felt fearful of this sudden arrival. What was going on?

Then, they looked up and saw those masters in midair.

They could tell that the visitors to their city were at the Primal Holy Realm, Semi-holy Realm or the Holy Realm. No wonder those

who were at or below the Heaven Realm were in awe of the guests.

That was when Austin's laughter of derision resounded all around the city.

"Why have you all released your vital energy force like that? Have you chere to just show off your powers?" he teased.

"Shut up, Austin! Cforward and kneel beforeright now.

Do you think your ridiculous and sneaky efforts go unnoticed? Kneel right now!"

Baldwin roared in a furious tone at the young man in front of him.

As soon as he had caught sight of Austin, his gaze had been transfixed on the latter.

"What?"

Austin's expression changed immediately.

'Kneel before this clown? | know that Baldwin holds a grudge againstbecause | refused to give him the Magic Sea Water in the

Nonuple Isles. | think he is here for revenge and to do that, he has chere on behalf of the leaders of Southern Alliances Army

by trying to setup. He even has the balls to askto kneel down before him, * Austin thought to himself.

Anger rose in his heart immediately.

'The way | see it, the man holds a rather large grudge against me. Even if | try to defend myself, he won't believe me.’

Deciding that defense wasn't the right move right now, Austin met Baldwin's arrogant gaze with a defiant sneer on the corner of

his mouth.

"Who the hell are you to ask that of me? What makes you think | would follow your orders?"

he remarked in an unhurried tone.

An eerie silence followed that question.

Those who had heard Austin felt their hearts skip a beat in fear.

Baldwin was one of the most prestigious people in the South Continent. It had already been established for several hundred years

that he was one of the strongest cultivators across the country.

Even the elders and the leaders of the top-most sects in the South Continent would behave humbly and treat him in a respectful

manner. They spoke highly of him and didn't dare criticize him.

But now, a young man was challenging him like that. Who knew what would be the ramifications of such a stupid choice!

"You brat!" An elder dressed like a Taoist priest cut through the silence and walked over to Baldwin's side.

He was trembling violently in anger and his face had turned red.

"You're getting way too cocky, Austin.

Who the hell do you think you are? Baldwin is a distinguished master and he can ask anything of you. How can you dare to provoke

him?

You should really learn to be humble and know your place.

Now kneel before Baldwin and apologize to him. Beg him for forgiveness or you're going to be dead meat today!"

The man who was lecturing Austin in ethics was Colin.

"Oh hey, it's you.

Wait, | don't get it. You're nothing but a deserter. Why have you chere again?

Do you have no shame?"

Austin calmly responded with a sneer, turning towards Colin now.

"You... "

Colin was so furious now that he couldn't find the words to curse this man. He glared at him with a resentful look in his eyes,

though in his heart, there were more than a thousand emotions and thoughts for Austin.

Everyone knew that Colin had run away from the battlefield the other day. With that feat, he had beca laughingstock among

the cultivators of the South Continent.

To be honest, Colin regretted being a deserter a lot, but now, when Austin had mentioned this matter again in public, it had

brought back too many painful memories.

Colin's resentment towards Austin was beyond description now.
