When the golden pagoda was broken, Austin felt a rush of emptiness through his energy meridians,
finally feeling how his energy had drained away.
A sense of inadequacy took over his body. It was a sign of too much loss of his vital energy.
Although the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill was extremely powerful and famous for its fierce and
overwhelming momentum, every time it was performed, it would consume 70 percent of the cultivator's
vital energy, which meant that at the moment only 30 percent of Austin's vital energy was left in his
energy meridians.
Steward Meng immediately realized Austin's burn-out state.
Now, both he and Austin were an even match for each other. As Steward Meng also got worn out and
his injuries got worse, Steward Meng knew that he had had a chance but not now, not after all that had
happened. This bitter truth bogged him down.
In a normal scenario, he, a cultivator in the Mysterious Realm, could have easily defeated an opponent
of the Earth Realm even if he had failed to kill him in a second.
Today, as a result of the battle with the three-eyed scarlet bull, Steward Meng had suffered too much
and was so badly injured that he was barely able to cope with a cultivator in the Earth Realm.
It gave him a bitter sense of loss.
Still Austin too suffering from exhaustion consoled his bruised ego.
'This tough guy owns a powerful combat capability, but he's in the Earth Realm after all. On the basis of
his vital energy, he is no match for me.' Steward Meng felt proud at this thought.
'After the tough battle between us, neither he nor I tasted victory. His vital energy is now ebbing to the
most basic level.'
"Haha, a nobody is always a nobody. Do you think you, a cultivator of the Earth Realm, could really
prove to be a threat to someone like me?
Well, let me guess, you've lost at least 70 percent of your vital energy. Am I right? I'll see how you
defend yourself against my subsequent attacks! I'm telling you, you're going to die today!"
Steward Meng let out a wild laugh and looked at Austin with vengeance.
"Really?"
Austin looked back at Steward Meng. There was no fear or anger in his dark brown eyes.
"It is true that the Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill's greatest weakness is that it consumes too much
vital energy.
But for me, it's not a problem," Austin replied with a grin.
His mind quickly picked pace and connected to the vital energy stone in his elixir field. Instantly, a burst
of pure vital energy poured out from the vital energy stone as if a dam poured into a parched river.
In a moment, his energy meridians were full again. A feeling of complete strength traveled in Austin's
body down to his fingertips.
His vital energy was back in top form!
The undulations of vital energy force immediately emanated from him, a cultivator of the Earth Realm.
It was brutal and strong.
"No way! How is it possible that your vital energy has been completely restored all at once?"
Steward Meng cried in a hoarse voice, as if he had witnessed something very irrational.
"Haha, I'll see how you defend yourself against my subsequent attacks! I'm telling you, you're going to
die today!"
Austin repeated what Steward Meng had just said to him in a mock-threatening tone. It was nothing
less than a smack in the face.
"Damn! How did this happen? Why can't I beat you? You're only in the Earth Realm! This is
outrageous! It shouldn't be like this!"
Steward Meng lost his temper and muttered in disbelief!
"Accept the reality, though it sucks!" Austin mocked him again.
In a trice, Austin wrapped his hands around each other, and then, boom! a six-layered golden pagoda
emerged all over again.
"Bombard him!"
Glaring at the growing six-layered golden pagoda, Steward Meng gritted his teeth, braced himself and
launched his herbal pot to meet the pagoda head-on.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
As soon as the two weapons collided, the air grew thick with sand and stones as if the earth the
cultivators were standing on was crumbling into nothingness. All one could hear was a loud crash over
and over again.
In just about five minutes, Steward Meng's vital energy was almost exhausted. He could no longer
resist the furious attack of the six-layered golden pagoda.
The herbal pot flew out of his hand, and he was hit hard by the golden pagoda.
He, who had been injured, felt rotten on the inside and had run out of the last dregs of vital energy to
defend himself against such a close-range attack.
The Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill, known for its brutality and ferocity, sent Steward Meng flying
backward into the air. Helpless, with his arms flailing about, Steward Meng soon fell on the ground like
a heap of stones.
This was the time to take the life of such a potent enemy, especially now, when he was crippled and
weak!
So Austin didn't stop, and took control of the six-layered golden pagoda to keep on throwing it at
Steward Meng.
Steward Meng now lay on the ground, with many of his internal organs punctured and bruised. Looking
at the golden pagoda that was still charging at him, he ducked to avoid it, but lacked the minimum
strength.
"No!" he cried miserably. "How can I die at the hands of a guy of the Earth Realm!"
Boom!
Steward Meng's body shattered into pieces. His blood soaked the ground crimson and his
dismembered body parts flew everywhere!
Taking in a deep breath, Austin whistled and called back his six-layered golden pagoda. Breathing
again, Austin felt hollow on the inside, as his body became limp and powerless.
Austin smiled bitterly, and forced himself to summon his vital energy stone to refill him. In a few
moments the vital energy in his energy meridians was replenished and reached its peak.
The fight had cost him a lot of vital energy, but it was worth it. After all, he was able to kill a cultivator of
the Mysterious Realm.
In truth, Austin could never have imagined that he was capable of this. The cultivator of the Mysterious
Realm was already on the same level as Theon, the Leader of the Sun Sect.
But Austin could tell that Steward Meng from the Medicine Sect was much weaker than Theon.
Steward Meng was supposed to be in the preliminary stage of Mysterious Realm, while Theon was
definitely in the premium stage of Mysterious Realm.
As his vital energy returned, Austin walked over to the body of Steward Meng and removed a Space
Ring from one of his fingers. The collection of a cultivator of the Mysterious Realm must be very
valuable, so Austin was careful not to miss it.
Taking off the Space Ring, Austin found the Eagle Wings on the ground not far from the dismembered
body of Steward Meng.
When Steward Meng was killed, the Eagle Wings were separated from his body and became irrelevant
to him.
