At this moment, Otis and Bernie were fighting fiercely with Jade's subordinates.
When Otis activated his chaotic magic treasure, it immediately dashed towards their enemies. It
emitted terrifying power to kill those divine gods without mercy.
Bernie and the others also rushed forward like tigers on the prowl.
Meanwhile, after being persuaded by Otis, the short and stout middle-aged man agreed to join Austin's
team.
During this time, since he had taken enough precious magic herbs to heal himself, he had recovered
most of his fighting power to join the battle.
Jade had more than eighty members fighting on her side.
However, despite having a large team, she was still killed. Her death had caused a depressing spirit to
spread among all her team members, and so they all felt sad and downhearted.
While they had lost their will to fight, Otis had the strength that scared everybody. His fighting power
was too powerful that no one could hold out against it.
For that reason, although Otis had only a few people fighting on his side, they still had the upper hand.
Whoosh!
Austin joined the battle and swiftly appeared behind a medium-grade divine god. Austin left him with no
chance to take any action. Before the medium-grade divine god even realized that he was behind him,
Austin had already smashed him into pieces.
When he was done taking care of that divine gods, Austin summoned dozens of earth dragons. They
emerged from the ground and immediately joined the battle under his command.
He had taken down many of their enemies as soon as he joined the fight.
In just a moment, he was able to kill more than a dozen people as he took advantage of his excellent
bodily movement skill.
While he was fighting, Austin suddenly realized something.
'Wait, I think I already have enough points.
I can't just earn these points for myself.
I have to help our other members win more points here instead.'
With that in mind, Austin changed his way of fighting—he only injured their enemies rather than killing
them.
Austin fiercely attacked Jade's subordinates and severely injured them so his teammates could earn
the points for killing them.
Since both Austin and Otis were at the battleground, there was no doubt that their team would win the
victory in the end.
True enough, the fight had ended sooner than they expected.
The rest of Jade's subordinates, with the exception of the few men who had taken the opportunity to
successfully escape, had all been killed.
All the members of Austin's team had gained a lot during this battle.
After the battle, the short, stout man who had recently joined their team bowed to Austin out of respect.
He was stunned when he witnessed Austin's terrifying power during the fight. He couldn't help but
admire his excellent skills and abilities.
Seeing this, Austin felt shy. "Ha-ha! Sir, you are my senior.
You don't have to be so polite towards me.
Please just treat me as your junior," Austin said with a smile.
The short and stout man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw how Austin treated him.
After all, he was also leading a team not long ago. Things had drastically changed for him since he was
now just an ordinary member of another group, and it was hard for him to accept his new reality.
However, Austin's attitude towards him relieved him so much that he got rid of his feeling of
embarrassment.
He felt even more reassured when he saw that everyone in the team got along well with Austin. They
were all like peers since they all talked with him in a relaxed and casual manner.
While everyone was having a good time, Austin suddenly heard a warning signal.
At that moment, his expression slightly changed.
An earth dragon that was lurking around miles and miles away had found a small group of people who
were rushing over to where Austin and his team were.
It seemed that it was the group led by Alston.
Several other teams coming from different directions were also dashing towards them.
They were all, without a doubt, Alston's men.
Jade's death drove Alston so crazy that he had called all his people back to charge headlong into
Austin's team.
The second they heard the warning, Otis started analyzing their situation.
"I learned that Alston comes from a supreme universe. His strength is rather terrifying.
On top of that, he has refined two chaotic magic treasures, so I'm sure he's even more powerful now.
He also has quite a large group with probably more than a hundred people.
With our current strength, it would be a gamble if we face them head-on.
I think it's best to avoid them now while we have the chance."
Austin nodded in agreement.
"You're right, Master Otis."
Austin then turned to the others and called out, "Let's retreat!"
With a wave of his hand, he led the group to a safe place.
Since Austin had constantly been gaining mastery of the Earth Exploring Technique, he could mobilize
about seven hundred earth dragons at any time.
He scattered most of the earth dragons to guard and monitor the vicinity while they fled.
Each earth dragon had a spiritual sense mark of his.
With that mark, Austin could immediately perceive everything within the radius that stretched to dozens
of miles.
When Alston and his men finally arrived where Jade was killed, Austin and his team had already
disappeared.
Seeing that there were no traces of them, Alston was furious.
"Austin! You damn bastard!
I swear I will kill you no matter what the cost!"
Looking at the smashed flesh and limbs all over the ground, Alston was in a state of madness. His
chest was overflowing with a rising sense of fury, and he roared and shouted like a desperate beast.
"I can't believe that the two chaotic magic treasures have fallen into Austin's hands,"
the young man standing beside Alston said with a frown.
Half a day later, Alston finally calmed down. He gathered his people and gave out an order.
He spoke slowly with intimidating authority.
"Make sure everyone heeds my order. I will offer a generous bounty for anyone who can get me
Austin's head. Anyone in this competition area can participate in the hunt.
I will grant the one hundred thousand points to anyone who kills Austin.
In addition to that, he can also obtain a lot of treasures.
As long as he can kill that bastard, he can also keep the ninety thousand points that Jade had
acquired.
Besides, from this moment on, I will be recruiting more people to join us. I swear to protect all the
members of my team and make sure that they can leave the Fallen Divine Valley alive."
"Got it!"
As soon as Alston finished speaking, his subordinates dispersed to take action.
"Ha-ha! Alston, once the news about your bounty and recruit order gets around, it will surely cause a
commotion in the competition area. You're a big name after all.
There's no doubt that everyone will be hunting Austin.
Besides, I think that more and more people will be willing to join you. Your team will grow larger and
larger,"
the young man remarked with a smirk.
Without looking at the young man, Alston talked slowly. "Jade's dead. Her death doesn't really mean
much to me.
What matters, however, is the two chaotic magic treasures that are now in Austin's hands. I must take
them back, by any means necessary.
That damned Austin must die! No one can save him!"
His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Meanwhile, Alston's announcement spread rapidly.
Everyone in the competition area for medium-grade divine gods heard about the news.
Just as they expected, his announcement had caused quite a stir.
It was true that Alston was a famous figure in that place.
His every move and action would attract much attention.
Learning about the reward of a hundred thousand points tempted everyone that they coveted it with
greedy eyes.
They were eager to take action right away.
In just a short time, however, another piece of information was disseminated.
It was said that the guy named Austin, whose head was wanted by Alston in exchange for ninety
thousand points, was only at the Divine Realm.
Back in the previous battle between Jade's team and Austin's team, several of Jade's subordinates had
managed to escape.
Since they had already met and fought with Austin, they knew about the truth of his cultivation base.
When they all heard about this, the competition area for medium-grade divine gods suddenly turned
into a sea of commotion.
"What?! That Austin is just a Divine Realm cultivator?!
I can't believe it.
You can't be serious. How could it even be possible for someone at the Divine Realm to enter the
competition area for medium-grade divine gods?"
"How did that guy offend Alston? If he's really just at the Divine Realm, how can he be so bold? Isn't he
afraid of Alston?"
"I heard that Austin's score had surpassed one hundred thousand!"
"Really? Well, that score is definitely attractive!"
For a moment, both Alston and Austin were the focus of everybody. They fervently linked and talked
about them in the competition area.
Most people began to take action and looked for Austin's whereabouts.
None of them wanted to miss this great opportunity. After all, Alston promised them quite a hefty
reward. No one could resist that temptation.
"Oh? So I guess Alston had really issued a bounty for my life, huh?"
Upon hearing the news, Austin was not surprised at all.
