"Hmm, you're right. That's odd.
A few moments ago, the Purple Sword Sect was attacking the city.
But now, they had ceased all their attacks.
Is this another round of their games? Or are they plotting something?"
an elder of the Lin Clan pondered aloud.
"Monitor their every move. Keep me posted,"
Garth ordered.
Meanwhile,
Austin was outside the Red Sword City, surrounded by dozens of his slaves.
"Our duty is to keep our master safe!"
his slaves declared in unison.
Since they had been controlled by Austin through the Puppet Strings, they would put him before
anything else.
Their master was their top priority. It would be an honor to die for him.
Maple and her brother tightened their grip around their swords and readied themselves to fight.
Then, an army from the Purple Sword Sect came rushing towards them. Each of them held a
determined and murderous look on their faces.
"Stand back. I got this." Austin wickedly smiled.
He gestured for his slaves to give him space. They all obeyed. Maple and her brother followed suit.
"Come on! Let's tear this brat into bits!"
The troops marched on, heading straight on in Austin's direction. They unsheathed their swords and
brandished them at him, producing powerful sword lights. They instantly surrounded him.
Austin, on the other hand, remained calm and collected. He had his hands clasped behind his back,
patiently waiting for them to arrive.
He didn't make a move or avoid the incoming blows.
The sword lights fell on him, and he simply let it happen.
There was a world of swordsmanship, along with five truths of swordsmanship growing inside Austin's
body. It was beneficial for him that all these sword aura and intent were raining on him. He would use
this to his advantage to nourish the world of swordsmanship and the truths of swordsmanship.
Naturally, he wouldn't dodge these attacks. He wanted all of them.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The streaks of sword light landed on him. To his enemies' surprise, they all disappeared on his body.
He absorbed all of them!
Just when the sharp swords were about to pierce Austin's body, they were thrown away.
"W-What!? How could this be?"
The army from the Purple Sword Sect were dumbfounded. They halted in their tracks.
"Is that all you got?
Come on. Give it a little more effort,"
Austin taunted, adding more salt in their wounds.
He wanted them to release more sword aura and sword intent.
"Don't be afraid!
We can take him down together!"
The Purple Sword Sect stood their ground and encouraged their army. They launched another set of
attacks against Austin.
Over thirty people charged at him.
However, like before, Austin remained motionless.
He stood there calmly, openly welcoming the sword lights.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Their powerful sword lights cut through the void.
Just like the previous incident, all the sword lights merely evaporated just before it hit Austin's body.
They fired numerous attacks,
but Austin was unscathed.
He kept his composure. He gave them an unbothered look, while his hands were still behind his back.
All the swords that hit Austin's body were sent pummeling in the opposite direction.
All the attacks sent by their adversaries did no damage because he had acquired the Chaotic Heaven
Body and the body of the heaven metal race. On top of that, he had created over one hundred human
worlds in his body through cultivating the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation.
He was almost indestructible.
With his level, only the attacks of a governing god could cause damage on Austin's body.
Anyone below that level would never create any harm on him, even if he stood still and did nothing.
"No way!
How could this guy be so powerful?
After all those attacks, he's still unharmed!"
The army from the Purple Sword Sect was completely petrified. They looked at him closely, wondering
what went wrong or where their sword lights vanished.
"Wait!
This brat has something up his sleeve!"
In the distance, Elder Roland turned to look at Austin. When he witnessed him display such remarkable
power, he began to take him seriously.
"I don't understand. This guy seems impenetrable! Even swords can't leave any marks on him. What's
going on?"
The other members of the Purple Sword Sect were just as visibly confused as their elder.
"Brother, I am right about Mr. Lin.
He is indeed commendable."
Maple kept her gaze upon Austin, excitement and awe washing over her. She watched him defend
himself against numerous enemies alone.
"Master, you are invincible!"
Austin's slaves gave him praises.
"Is that it?" Austin mocked. He raised one eyebrow, as if challenging them for more.
"Well, this is disappointing. I expected the Purple Sword Sect to be better than this," he remarked.
He sighed and shook his head in disappointment.
Although he had absorbed their sword aura and sword intent just now, the amount was too insignificant
to even overwhelm him.
In fact, he even wanted more.
'It looks like that I will need to absorb a great deal of sword aura and sword intent if I want to develop
the world of swordsmanship inside me,' Austin thought to himself.
He had to devise a plan that would make them attack him more.
"How about all of you attack me together?
That will be more interesting,"
Austin suggested loudly, particularly pointing at Elder Roland.
"What did he just say?
He wants all of us to attack him?
This brat is arrogant!"
Austin's provocations made the Purple Sword Sect flare up. He was insulting their capacity.
"Brat, you're way over your head. I can terminate you on my own!"
A strong man from the Purple Sword Sect stepped out of the team.
He was tall and the aura he exuded was powerful. On his hand was a sword that was almost as large
as he was.
He was a genuine medium-grade divine god.
"Go to hell, you cocky little shit!" the strong man bellowed, his face crumpled in unexplainable rage.
He raised his sword which enlarged than its current size. It instantly turned humongous that it filled a
large area of the void. He waved his gargantuan weapon at Austin along with the overwhelming sword
light.
It was evident that the strong man was different compared to the people who had just attacked Austin.
"Protect our master!"
All Austin's slaves strode forward and made a barricade to protect him.
"Look out, Mr. Lin!"
Maple and her brother worriedly gave reminders.
With a flick of Austin's sleeve, he got his slaves to step back and stand behind him.
Austin still kept his calm composure like he did before. He stood there, waiting for the attack to land on
him.
Clung!
The huge sword with surging sword light collided with his body.
As soon as it made contact, Austin had absorbed all the sword light that hit him.
As for that giant sword, it was thrown away the instant it touched Austin's body.
"Huh? Is that it? Try harder!" Austin demanded as he mockingly shook his head.
He wanted to provoke his opponent even more.
"How is that possible?
You..."
The strong man was thunderstruck.
"What..."
All the creatures stared at Austin as if they were at the presence of a monster.
"This guy is not simple. It turns out that he has hidden his real strength!"
Elder Roland of the Purple Sword Sect started sweating profusely. He underestimated his power
before, and he was thinking twice if they could even defeat him.
"Come on, what are you waiting for? Don't waste my time,"
Austin continued to taunt the strong man.
"Damn it!
Brat, I don't believe I can't bring you down.
I will take you out!" The strong man flew into white-hot rage.
He waved his gigantic sword around, and he bombarded Austin with a barrel of secret sword skills.
The sword light he unleashed rained down on Austin.
This brought happiness on Austin. This was exactly what he wanted. He still didn't dodge, allowing the
sword light to fall on his body.
Of course, all the sword light had been absorbed by him. He utilized it as the nourishment of the world
of swordsmanship in his body.
Austin then flicked the giant sword, sending it flying away.
He looked relaxed and tranquil. He didn't look like he was in the middle of a fight.
"Lame,
lame,
lame!
Can't you put more effort into it?
If that's all you've got, get lost and let other masters in your sect challenge me."
Austin kept shaking his head, feeling very disappointed at the strong man's strength.
Finally,
this broke the strong man down.
"No!
How could this be!
What are you? Why are you still in one piece?!"
the strong man cried out, feeling very frustrated.
