Austin began his Illusory Swordsmanship. Within seconds, five members of the Blood Wolf Team were
lying dead on the ground.
Astonished by Austin's power, the other members of the Blood Wolf Team lurched forward to attack
him. Since they were great in number, they were sure that they could take him down.
But in spite of being on his own, Austin was much stronger and managed to kill nine of them, leaving
dead bodies splattered around in his wake. Only six more members of the Blood Wolf Team were alive.
Watching these people struggling to attack him, he couldn't help but let his lips curl up into a vicious
smile. He knew how futile their efforts were. To him, fighting these cultivators who were at the eighth
level of the Energy Gathering Realm was a piece of cake.
With a swift wave of the Violet Royal Sword, he sent dozens of sword-lights zooming toward the six
remaining members. Each sword light was pulsing with his strong vital energy force. If the six members
were cut by these sword-lights, they would be in a great deal of pain.
This was the first time Austin was using Illusory Swordsmanship and he realized that it could give off so
many sword-lights. What made it special was the fact that each of the sword-lights contained vital
energy force that could hurt the opponent. It was a handy feature for fights like these where he had to
go up against multiple opponents at the same time.
While the six members were busy trying to dodge the sword-lights Austin gave off, he started his Wind-
commanding Skill. He took a few steps forward and stopped in front of one of the members who were
holding a big knife with a scary ghost face on its hilt.
The member had just blocked one of the sword-lights with his knife when he found Austin suddenly
standing in front of him like a ghost. Frightened, he tried to turn to Austin's direction to stab him with his
knife.
But Austin was much faster than him.
That member of the Blood Wolf Team had barely moved when Austin punched him right in the chest
with the force of a thousand pounds. His body curved inward from the impact and flew backward at the
speed of a bullet, disappearing into the forest.
Austin was sure that this member was dead, so without even bothering to give him another look, he
continued fighting with the others. He turned around suddenly and raised the Violet Royal Sword. His
gaze was so intense that it looked like there were two sword-lights coming out of his eyes. His whole
demeanor changed all of a sudden and he looked fearless and powerful.
Austin decided to take this opportunity to try the level one sword intent that he'd just learned. Until now,
he'd been using his Illusory Swordsmanship moves without any sword intent.
'Now, let me practice my sword skills by fighting against you guys, ' Austin thought to himself with glee.
At that moment, the only thing in his mind was sword intent.
Inspired by the sword intent, the Violet Royal Sword began to buzz with energy, capturing everyone's
attention. It was accompanied by a fog which quickly surrounded the sword like an aura.
The next moment, Austin's sword intent had full control of the Violet Royal Sword. Sword aura filled the
whole area as Austin and his sword became one. They were inseparable now and nothing could divide
them.
Austin was the sword! The sword was Austin!
That was sword intent!
All the remaining members of the Blood Wolf Team had sensed the sword intent and their faces paled
in fear.
All of them knew that it would be very difficult to defeat a cultivator who knew sword intent.
Moreover, Austin's Illusory Swordsmanship skill was amazing. Now that he was pairing it with his sword
intent, it would be nearly impossible to kill Austin.
So far, Austin had killed more than ten members of the Blood Wolf Team and the other ones were
almost frightened to death. They had initially assumed that it would be easy to kill a young man at the
Energy Gathering Realm since there were so many of them. They had had no idea that Austin would
turn out to be that powerful.
Even before Austin used his sword intent, he had had the upper hand. But now, with the help of his
sword intent, nobody else even stood a chance. They were all looking at him anxiously.
They couldn't flee from the place since the rules of the Blood Wolf Team were very strict. According to
the rules, if they fled or retreating while facing their enemies, they would be given severe punishment.
So, the five members made up their minds to die and didn't take a single step back. On the contrary,
they summoned up their courage and charged at Austin while bellowing wildly, like cornered beasts.
But seeing the five crazy members charging at him didn't faze Austin one bit. He merely gave them a
cold smile and filled his mind with pure and invincible sword intent.
He didn't take a single step back.
"All of you should prepare to die!" Austin roared.
The sword intent surrounding Austin expanded all of a sudden. The killing intent in his heart contained
limitless killing power. In a matter of seconds, his aura reached its peak.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The powerful sword intent rushed toward the five members and left them severely injured.
Then, the Violet Royal Sword started to vibrate with vital energy in Austin's hand. The sword radiance
formed by the sword intent around it shot off in the directions of the five members at the speed of light.
Before the five members knew what hit them, they found themselves held down by Austin's level one
sword intent. Austin's sword was too swift and powerful for them to dodge. Wounds continuously
appeared on their bodies. They tried to dodge the sword radiance but they were too slow. All they could
do was watch as Austin's sword radiance cut them all over.
Finally, all five of their heads were cut off.
One by one, the five heads fell onto the ground.
Their bodies stumbled around for a while before hitting the ground as well.
In just this one battle, Austin had killed dozens of members of the Blood Wolf Team at the eighth level
of the Energy Gathering Realm all by himself, which enhanced his confidence once again.
The powerful Illusory Swordsmanship and the sword intent he had just learned had become another
two trump cards that he had when fighting against others. . .
As soon as those five members died, Austin strode to the place where Violet was fighting the squad
leader of the Blood Wolf Team.
Without a word, Austin used his Illusory Swordsmanship, shooting more than ten sword figures toward
the squad leader.
Right now, the head of the squad was locked in a tight struggle with Violet.
The huge black fox paw Violet summoned contained powerful demonic force and it attacked the head
of the group continuously. Although it couldn't defeat the cultivator so easily, it suppressed the long
whip that he was holding. The range that the long whip could reach kept reducing.
The more they fought, the more the leader of the group found himself surprised. He had seen that the
demonic fox was at level three and that her power was even slightly greater than his.
In fact, he was finding it increasingly difficult to defeat her.
The head of the group was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly noticed Austin right beside him. He
was shocked when realizing what had happened.
"Have you killed them all?" The leader of the group bellowed like a wounded beast.
He glanced around and his face paled when he saw the dead bodies of his men sprawled on the
ground. It had taken Austin barely any time to kill all of them. The leader of the group was overcome
with dread.
"Yes, and now it's your turn to die. I assume you won't be lonely since you have many people waiting
for you in the world of the dead," Austin replied with a vicious smile.
He and the head of the group were sworn enemies now. Today, the Blood Wolf Team had sent a group
of members to have Austin slaughtered. Their deaths would be laid at his door, of course. Austin didn't
have any choice but to kill them all.
"I can't believe you think you can defeat me!" the head of the group replied coldly.
Although he had to admit that Austin was a powerful cultivator at the Energy Gathering Realm, he
couldn't accept the fact that he could be defeated by someone who was a level lower than him.
"Why are you still uttering useless rubbish when you know your end is near?" Austin retorted with a
sneer. Then, turning to Violet, he said, "We can take our time and kill him together."
While Austin was laughing, his Spiritual Sense Flying Needle flew above and stabbed the head of his
opponent.
The head of the group couldn't help but quiver in pain.
Violet, of course, wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by. She started her demonic force and the
black fox paw charged at the long whip that the head of the squad was holding.
Since the head of the group was already in pain, he was too distracted to use his vital energy, The
defense of the whip was easily broken through by Violet's black fox paw.
Taking this opportunity, Austin sent his sword at the head of the group. The sword contained both his
vital energy and the sword radiance formed by sword intent. It swiftly cut off his opponent's right arm.
'No! It can't be!' the man thought to himself, horrified.
Although he had noticed Austin's sword, it had been too fast for him to dodge. He was bleeding
severely from the place where his right arm used to be attached to his body.
In a mixture of pain and anger, he roared like a wild beast. In a second, his body retreated almost ten
meters. Apparently, he had successfully cultivated himself with a bodily movement skill of a high level.
When facing danger, he wanted to escape by any means possible.
Of course, Austin would never let him go. With a light stomp of his foot on the ground, he appeared
right in front of the head of the group.
Violet was a demonic fox that could run at high speeds, so she joined them barely a second later.
The head of the group couldn't hold his long whip since his right arm had been cut off, so there was no
way he could defend against the combined attack from Austin and Violet. In no time, his head was cut
off by Austin's sword.
Austin had developed the habit of collecting trophies. Now that he had killed all of the members of the
Blood Wolf Team, he had a good harvest this time.
Soon, he took all the wealth from the dead bodies.
He managed to collect more than ten thousand vital crystals only from the head of the group.
Since these people were robbers, they had much more wealth than ordinary cultivators. . .
After handling the Blood Wolf Team, Austin returned to the Mysterious Ancient Well and met Mindy.
"Did you manage to kill all the members of the Blood Wolf Team?" Mindy asked, looking a little
astonished.
Austin explained the whole incident to her in a calm voice. The longer Mindy listened to him, the more
puzzled her face looked. She took a quick glance at his bloodstained clothes and could almost not
believe what she heard.
