The Supreme God of Martial Arts

"Wow! These corridors are amazing! The Sword Emperor might have used it as his storage or dungeon. There must be some

treasures hidden here.

Besides, this wall of the mountain has blocked the way.

The only way to continue exploring seems to be through this steep hill.

Why don't we get into one of the Trialing Corridors and try our luck?" the silver-scaled demon suggested.

"I think my level of swordsmanship is roughly equal to the level four sword potential. | might as well choose the fourth corridor

then."

As soon as he finished his words, the demon instantly made a plunge and disappeared behind the entrance of the fourth corridor.

"Alright then. That makes sense. | will try the third one since my level of swordsmanship is the equivalent of the level three sword

potential."

The black demon followed and headed towards his chosen level. He could not join his friend at the fourth corridor as his

swordsmanship had only reached the third level.

Both demons were now inside the Trialing Corridor.

These two demon warriors’ sword potential were far better compared to many human warriors.

They did not just focus on cultivating their demonic skills, but also spent their tand effort in honing their swordsmanship.

Austin was currently roaming the fifth corridor. He was looking at his surroundings when a familiar voice rang in his ears. It was the

Sword Emperor, who had been continuously voicing out his reminders.

The words had basically the smeaning as what Austin had heard in the first corridor. The Sword Emperor had given a reminder

as well as a warning.

Passing the corridor's test would be very beneficial to Austin. He would be able to advance his level of swordsmanship and also get

good rewards in the form of rare treasures.

The rewards were high and so was the price for failure which was essentially death.

Without any second thoughts, Austin activated his level five sword potential. Immediately, the air in the corridor whirled like a

strong wind.

As the sword potential surrounded him, he continuously walked deeper into the corridor.

"Ha ha!

You can't run away fromthis time, Austin!

You will die here today!"

All of a sudden, Baldwin's voice echoed from behind him. His loud scream was full of aggressiveness and blood thirst. The

excitement was apparent in his eyes at the thought of finally getting the chance to get his revenge.

Austin wasn't threatened by Baldwin's presence. He turned to look at his challenger with the coldest and most piercing glare.

He knew of Baldwin's murderous intent, but he was never afraid of him.

The tense silence was only broken by the Sword Emperor's voice. It turned up again after sensing Baldwin's presence.

Baldwin paused for a while, turning away from Austin as he listened intently to the Sword Emperor's words.

The two stared at each other without moving a single step, their heavy breathing echoing through the corridor.

A few seconds later, Baldwin gathered his thoughts, his face suddenly lit up. He smiled sheepishly. ‘Now this rule is interesting. |

like it!" he thought to himself.

Baldwin was bursting with excitement as he found the Sword Emperor's words very interesting.

However, Baldwin only paid attention to the Sword Emperor's words about the possible rewards, and the cultivation increase. He

completely missed the warning.

'So this means that if | make it to the Trialing Corridor of level ten sword potential and pass it, the level of my swordsmanship can

reach the sword domain right away?

This is wonderful!"

The astonishing rewards thrilled Baldwin. Joy was all over his face, as he imagined himself reaching the sword domain. He was so

pumped out to get the reward that he momentarily forgot that Austin was still around.

"Ha ha ha! | knew that these corridors were built just for me! I've been stuck at the bloody level ten sword potential for hundreds of

years! | have longed for a breakthrough for a lifetime!

| knew | would be more than that. | always knew. Now my thas come!

I'm destined to master better swordsmanship and get to the top!" Baldwin roared in mad glee, slowly getting out of control.

"I'm a sword master, and | will definitely rise again!

When the day comes that my level of swordsmanship reaches the sword domain, | wonder who could match within this Prime

Martial World!"

He laughed like an unhinged mad man as he imagined himself reaching the pinnacle of power.

It was already over a hundred of years since he reached the top level of the sword potential, and he still hadn't made any progress.

The possibility of increasing his level of swordsmanship drove him mad with joy.

He tried very hard to make a progress but he just suffered with so many failures.

As years passed, the sword domain still seemed out of his reach. But now, he was told that there was a good chance for him to

realize his dream, and the method sounded so very easy.

It was no wonder that he would go wild with joy.

He looked at Austin and smiled mockingly. "Okay, now letdo swarming up by killing a living target. Austin, you should be

honored, you know!"

Baldwin fully unleashed his level ten sword potential in the next instant. The powerful sword aura burst out from his body and the

dazzling light radiated like deadly serpent towards Austin.

"Seriously?

Are you using the level ten sword potential in here?"

Looking amused, Austin asked calmly as he watched Baldwin's level ten sword potential. He just stood still and did not look as if he

was going to do anything to defend himself.

He just looked at Baldwin's sword radiance nonchalantly as it darted towards his direction. He looked more like a bored spectator

rather than a recipient of a potentially devastating attack.

"No tricks, brat!

Nothing can save you now!"

Baldwin shouted. He noticed Austin's strange reaction, but was now too carried away to think about the reason behind that. He had

only frowned a bit, and then continued to attack.

Whoosh!

Baldwin doubled up the power of his attack by releasing an incomparable sword light. Austin was now about to be attacked by a

cloud of sword-light and sword radiance.

Suddenly, an angry voice halted Baldwin's attack.

"Damn you cheater! Your level of swordsmanship doesn't match this corridor! Get out!"

The fierce angry voice resonated throughout the corridor. It was loud as thunder and had drowned out the sound of Baldwin's

strike.

Baldwin got scared out of his wits when a strong teleportation power appeared out of nowhere and rushed towards him.

"What the hell is that?"

The strong power terrified him but there was no tfor him to resist.

He felt someone strike him hard and the whole space swirled before his eyes.

Bang!

Baldwin laid motionless after his body was thrown violently out of the corridor like a sack of potatoes. He looked at the big cloud of

dust high in the air and tried to recall what just happened.

"Now you know why | told you not to use your level ten sword potential here," Austin said mockingly.

"Be humble, dude. This is the Sword Emperor's place. Someone like you shouldn't be making a scene like this. It's embarrassing!"

Austin shouted as loud as he could, making sure that Baldwin could hear him mocking. Using his spiritual sense, Austin could see

how embarrassed Baldwin was being flung out. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"The gis not over yet, Austin! Don't get too complacent. One day | will tear you into pieces!"

Baldwin roared furiously. Austin's mockery infuriated him but there was nothing he could do at the moment.

Back in the fifth Trialing Corridor, Austin unleashed his level five sword potential the second taround. He took his steps

carefully as he went deeper into the corridor. After what happened to Baldwin, he knew that he must abide by the rules.

He recalled the warning words of the Sword Emperor. Failure meant death in this place.

Austin tried to be more alert. One careless mistake could potentially trigger hidden traps or dangerous spells inside the corridor.

Surely, he couldn't be more careful at this very moment.

He tried to be more vigilant of his surroundings as he went deeper inside the long, dark and mysterious space. He couldn't help but

be on guard in case something dangerous popped up out of nowhere.

As he observed carefully, he got to know that this corridor was paved thoroughly with snowy white jade as sparkling as diamonds.

It was not very spacious in here, like a thin ribbon of a trail forever unfolding. On both of the walls, there were engraved images of

many strange-looking ancient swords and sword masters who were practicing swordsmanship. None of these things actually

moved except for Austin.

A moment later, something caught Austin's attention.

He heard snoises and noticed smovements a few meters ahead of him.

He stopped to analyze the situation. He held his breath and tried to decipher what he just heard.

About ten meters away from him, a few sword aura filaments suddenly appeared. These filaments looked like hair tails from the

deep ocean, making the entire corridor look like an undersea palace.

The sword auras were mobile and they headed towards Austin. He couldn't help but feel the hairs at the back of his neck rise as

these filaments started to fill the narrow spaces of the corridor.

Austin was right to be wary. Pretty soon, the filaments began to multiply. It was only a matter of tbefore hundreds and

thousands of these sword auras unraveled in front of him.

They threatened to take up the whole space.

Austin's heartbeat rose as he watched them flow slowly in the air. But the next moment, they sped up and gathered together.

Thousands of these sword auras weaved into one another. It was a beautiful sight as these gossamer filaments sparkled in the

light.

However, Austin wasn't in the mood to appreciate this mass of iridescent filaments as something stranger was about to happen. As

the sword auras coalesced, they formed a human-shaped figure.

The filaments formed hands, legs and a head. Austin could even see a vague outline of its eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

Then, he heard footsteps.

It was coming from the figure. Each step it made echoed through the entire corridor. Austin couldn't help but think that the sound

seemed so different from that of a real human being.

Then again, this figure was only shaped like a human, but it was obvious that it wasn't a real person. Austin could feel the danger

emanate from this figure in waves, as if the auras that made it had transformed into invisible daggers.

What was happening here?

This was the first tthat Austin saw something like this. It was extremely strange and, though he was rather intrigued, the sight

also alerted him. He took a defensive stance at once.
