Finally, in the northeast, a familiar figure suddenly came into his peripheral vision. The Steward Meng
was able to pinpoint its exact location.
The man, who was wrapped up in a black robe, looked exactly like the impostor disciple of the
Medicine Sect before.
Although Austin's running speed was amazing that he could go thirty meters in one step, which was
several times faster than a cheetah, he was still no match with Steward Meng who is flying in the sky
with wings.
Because running on the ground meant passing through the dense forest with multiple obstacle in front
of him, like brambles and rocks. His speed was not as fast as a flying creature. The terrain was pitted,
and the height was varying from mountain to mountain. He must take time in order to avoid or
overcome the different obstacles in front of him.
However there was not so much trouble when flying in the sky. The Steward Meng could keep flying
straight ahead without any hindrances in his way.
A cheetah could never outrun an eagle flying on its wings, even if it is the fastest animal on land.
When the Steward Meng found the Austin's tracks, his face showed a trace of irony. Then he rushed
down and glided at a lower attitude towards the direction of Austin.
In an instant, he was already at the dense forest where Austin was located. Suspended in mid-air, he
released his spiritual sense and searched for him in the area.
When his spiritual sense locked on Austin, Austin also sensed that
a spiritual sense which came out of nowhere had somehow already found his scent and located him.
And the spiritual sense, to his surprise, came from the air above him.
Austin suddenly recalled that in the confrontation between the three Mysterious Realm cultivators of the
Medicine Sect and the two diabolic beasts, Purple Flaming Lion King and three-eyed scarlet bull, a pair
of eagle wings once appeared on the back of the Steward Meng.
With that pair of eagle wings, the Steward Meng could fly in the sky, and it's not like the kind of
temporary stagnation and glide in the sky which the Mysterious Realm cultivators do.
Thinking of this, Austin raised his head immediately and saw the huge eagle wings flapping in the air as
expected. The Steward was like a big eagle with about three-meter-length eagle wings attached to his
back.
"What is your true identity? You dare to masquerade as a disciple of our Medicine Sect and sneaked
into the Cloud Cave. If you don't give me a proper explanation, you will never be able to leave this
place."
The Steward Meng retracted his eagle wings back in his body and stood in front of Austin to block his
way.
The situation had changed so fast that Austin knew he couldn't escape from him anymore.
"Aha, Steward, I pretend to be your disciple just to get something from the Cloud Cave.
The cave was a legacy from the Great Sage Cloud, it does not belong to the Medicine Sect or to
anyone else. Why are you so vicious?"
Austin said, while formulating an escape plan at the same time.
The Steward Meng was injured in the fight before. And he just forced to burn his vital energy to support
the eagle wings for flying in the sky for more than an hour. Now he's not in a great physical condition.
The eagle wings were discovered by accident in an ancient remains. It was a mysterious flying skill
which could be dated back to the ancient times.
After integrating the eagle wings into the body, it could become part of his body allowing it fly in the sky
at will, like birds did. This was a precious mysterious skill to all the cultivators.
However, the biggest problem was that it requires a huge amount of vital energy in order to support the
wings during flight in the sky. There was a great consumption of vital energy when using the wings.
Because the Steward Meng was forced to burn his vital energy with his injured body in order to support
the eagle wings which flew for an hour, only fifty percent of his vital energy remained.
Moreover, his physical injury worsened, which turned his face pale, showing how weak he has become.
The Steward Meng knew that he must resolve this predicament as fast as possible. Otherwise, his
injury could worsen even more as the delay gets longer, and it might affect his future vital energy
cultivation base.
Austin, who stared at the Steward Meng for a moment, also deduced this problem.
'The Steward Meng of the Medicine Sect seemed to have been seriously injured, and his vital energy
showed signs of fickleness and instability. It seemed that the fight which just happened at the Cloud
Cave had consumed a greater part of his vital energy.
To sum it all up, at this time, he may only have about fifty percent combat effectiveness left in him.
And I'm at the premium stage of Earth Realm cultivation and in full strength. The Golden Sun Scripture
I cultivated was stronger than the ordinary cultivators of my stage in terms of quality and quantity of
vital energy. In addition, I have inherited a large amount of vital energy from the Great Sage Cloud.
Although I didn't know which stage of the vital energy Holy Realm the Great Sage Cloud exactly was,
the Holy Realm must be superior to the Mysterious Realm.
So the quality of these silvery vital energy inserted in my body from the Great Sage Cloud must be
better than the vital energy of the Mysterious Realm cultivator.
Thinking about it carefully, if I start a fight with the Steward Meng, I'm afraid there is a great chance that
I could defeat him.' Austin thought in his mind.
He had developed a firm and unprecedented character. So, when he looked at the feeble Steward
Meng at that moment, he was not afraid because Meng was a Mysterious Realm cultivator, but he was
rather excited and ready to showcase his abilities to the man.
The steward Meng had also noticed the eagerness written all over his face. He snorted with disdain,
and said, "Sure, I have been badly injured and I am only left with half of my total strength to fight
against you. But you need to know that there is a great difference between the Mysterious Realm and
the Earth Realm which goes beyond your wildest expectations. Now you still think that you are capable
of defending yourself against me? Ha ha, you must lose your mind young man. All right, I'll show you
just how different our realms are, and how weak you are against someone like me."
As soon as he finished, he clenched his hand, and a howling vital energy surged forward. A big yellow
vital energy palm, which was five times larger than the body of Austin suddenly took shape. It was
overwhelmingly powerful which suddenly rushed towards Austin, hitting him.
