Several old men were running faster than everyone else despite their age. In fact, they reached the old Taoist almost
simultaneously.
With the aid of his spiritual sense, Austin discovered that the cultivation base of these elders ranged from the preliminary to the
premium stages of Earth Realm. At the stime, he could also tell that they were stronger than most masters of their level.
Apart from these elders, a myriad of other people were also running towards the old Taoist as fast as they could. Dust flew into the
air behind them, and the sound of their footsteps could be heard clearly despite the lively atmosphere.
Everyone at the headquarters of the Emerald Sect was panicking due to Austin's sudden invasion.
"Elder Calvin, what is going on? What happened? "
one of the elders asked.
The old Taoist pointed at Austin and briefly filled them in on what was going on.
"What the hell? Elder Calvin, do you mean to say that this brat's strength is so much that he has sent us into chaos?!
How is it possible that he can be stronger than our sect leader?"
These elders were senior members of the Emerald Sect and they were unable to believe Elder Calvin's story.
After all, their sect was one of the most powerful sects in the Brilliant Kingdom and was as famous as the Heavenly Mountain Sect.
For one man to be stronger than their entire sect was almost impossible.
Unlike the Heavenly Mountain Sect, the members of Emerald Sect were low-key, but it did not mean that they were any less
powerful.
The leader of the Emerald Sect was a senior expert, and he knew plenty of brilliant types of skills. He could be one of the top six
cultivators in the martial arts world of the Brilliant Kingdom.
However, even after careful inspection and study of that young man, the elders could not sense any energy waves emanating from
him. They were not even sure if he had learned martial arts at all.
'This young man is more powerful than our remarkable leader? You've gotta be kidding, ' the elders thought.
"Elder Calvin, what the hell are you talking about? Are you kidding us? Don't tell us you knocked the bell forty nine times because
of this brat?
Are you really sure that he is more powerful than our elder?"
one of the elders shouted at Elder Calvin in a displeased tone.
The others were equally angry. "Elder Calvin, you've been too rash. Only when our sect is in the most terrible danger are we
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsupposed to ring the bell forty nine times. That way, we can differentiate between real and fake emergencies.
Why the hell did you do that for this little guy? You are in trouble now, Elder Calvin!"
They shook their heads, feeling that their colleague had made a terrible mistake.
"You think I am lying? All right then, go ahead. You can have a few rounds with the brat. Then you will know."
Elder Calvin was also a bit angry upon being suspected.
"Elders, there is no need to argue over this young man. Lethave a try!"
With that, a middle-aged man jumped into the air like an eagle and waved his sword towards Austin.
"You bastard! How dare you break into our sect and stir up trouble? Go to hell!" the man shouted furiously.
He was at the Subliming Force Realm, and was also better than his peers in the sect.
"I just wanted a tour of this place. You didn't have to make such a fuss," Austin replied calmly as he shook his head.
With an unhurried and calm gesture, he flicked the middle-aged man's sword.
Clung!
A clear, sonorous, metallic sound rang out. The middle-aged man, as if he were the one who had been hit, spat out blood and was
blown away. When he fell on the ground, he was easily over a thousand meters away from where he had been. And there he lay
flat on the ground, with no one the wiser of whether he was dead or alive.
"What the hell?" someone exclaimed in astonishment.
The scene had shocked every single one who witnessed it.
The elders drew closer to Austin alertly.
They now saw that the young man's strength was indeed terrifying and Calvin wasn't lying.
If they had been in Austin's shoes right now, they never would have thought that they could defeat a master at the Subliming
Force Realm just like that.
"| told you that this brat is a tough opponent, but you did not believe me," Elder Calvin complained loudly.
No one could blhim for overreacting now.
"Lethave a try!"
One of the elders drew out a sharp sword, and pressed it close to his chest. Then he thrust it at Austin.
Austin watched the man make his move intently. He could tell that the elder's move was simple, quick, but remarkably potent.
'l have to say the sword skills owned by the sects of the Brilliant Kingdom are indeed amazing, *
Austin remarked in his mind admiringly.
Although the elder's strike could not hurt him a single bit, he could still see that the skill the man was displaying was profound.
Even though the elder was yet to becaware how remarkable his sword skill was, masters like Austin did.
At the moment, faced with this move, with his hands behind his back, Austin stood still with a calm expression. Just as the long
sword was approaching his chest, he stretched out two fingers and gently clamped the blade between them.
And now, the elder could not move his sword no matter how hard he tried.
"Damn it! Let go of my sword, you stupid brat!" he yelled at Austin in exasperation.
He used all of his strength to shout at the man in his fury. His face turned red and his veins pulsed on his neck.
But Austin did not release his grip as if he had not heard the elder at all.
This old man was a powerful swordsman, and he had cherished his sword more than his own life for a long tnow. There was no
way he was going give up such a precious weapon. He tightened his grip around the sword, and tried to pull it out of Austin's
fingers.
"We shouldn't underestimate this brat's strength. Con, we've got to help Elder Nickson!" another elder said.
It was only now that the rest of the elders realized Austin was a formidable foe.
Immediately, they took action in one swift motion. Sof them held Elder Nickson by the hand, trying to help him pull his sword
out of Austin's grip. The others placed their palms against the man's back to infuse their strength into him. Seven grabbed
him by the shoulder and tried to pull him backwards. The rest took out their swords and attacked Austin.
All the dozen elders made a move against Austin simultaneously, and this scene left the other disciples of the Emerald Sect
present dumbfounded.
"That's enough! Get the hell out of my way!" Austin bellowed, pissed off by their actions.
When he spoke, he finally unleashed a bit more of his physical strength.
Immediately, the elders felt a terrifyingly powerful force hit them.
Unable to defend themselves against this unknown power, they were thrown backwards into the air.
Since Austin had no real vendetta against the people of the Emerald Sect, he did not take their lives.
Otherwise, he would have finished off these elders with a single blow.
"Oh, my God! Am | dreaming?"
"Does that man know ssort of witchcraft? He merely shook his body, and our elders were blown away!"
The disciples of Emerald Sect who witnessed the scene were thunderstruck. They felt a chill rush down their spine.
‘This is insane. Our solemn respected elders have lost to this brat in the mere blink of an eye?’ they thought, gaping at Austin.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFar away from the battleground, the elders hit down hard against the ground. It took them quite a while to lift themselves up. They
narrowed their eyes at Austin. Their faces were deathly pale now. They had now becfully aware of the fact that this young
man was far stronger than all of them together and there was no point fighting him.
After a while, one of the elders raised his hand. A flmaterialized and flew into the air, exploding midway in its path.
Austin immediately understood that this was a method of calling for backup.
'l bet the best cultivators of the Emerald Sect will show up soon, ' he speculated.
Very soon, his suspicions were confirmed.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three beams of sword radiance shot up from the peak of a towering mountain in the distance, which was located in the depths of
this mountain range. The radiance lit up half of the sky.
"They can fly up into the air by taking advantage of their swords' powers!"
Austin's eyes lit up as he looked at the three beams of light.
The three beams of white light were three white-haired old men, each standing on a sword. They were now on their way towards
Austin.
Austin immediately saw that they were at the Mysterious Realm.
Cultivators at the Mysterious Realm shouldn't be able to fly in the air.
However, the three elders were practicing sunknown sword-manipulating skill which had enabled them to fly with their
swords.
Austin marveled at the skill that they had perfected.
