The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Chapter 96 Austin At The Face Of Death

Billy Tang held his spear with a high spirit as his green gown plumped up like a balloon. Suddenly, the

level eight energy burst out of his body and the spear shone like the sun.

Austin came with his sword pointing at the ground with a faint golden vital energy surrounding it. He

looked at Billy calmly.

"Austin Lin! Today you'll see the difference between the current and the previous top outer disciple!"

Billy said.

At that moment, Billy summoned his vital energy and formed a whirlpool. Its center was at the top of his

spear and it also absorbed the vital energy in the air.

Billy deserved to be called one of the strongest among the outer disciples. Even before the fight

started, he could summon such great power.

"I think I know what that is! That is the spear intent! Bill really is a genius! He learned the rare spear

intent skill!"

"Billy Tang ranks at the fifteenth place now, but he can be a dark horse in the coming Top Ten Disciples

Ranking Challenge!"

Seeing Billy summoned his spear intent, the audience couldn't help whispering to each other.

"What are you waiting for, Austin? Let's start!"

Billy spoke to Austin coldly," I know your cultivation status and I'm sure you're no match for my spear

intent. I will show these outer disciples how easily I can kill you!"

Austin was standing more than ten meters from Billy. While Billy was making his speech, Austin felt a

burst of vital energy passed by him and cut his hair. His upper garment was also slightly torn away by

the vital energy Billy gave off.

"I can't believe it! The cultivator who can learn spear intent is terrifying!"

Some of the disciples in the audience could not hide their excitement in the fight.

Austin was surprised when he sensed Billy's spear intent.

But having lived two lives, his soul was powerful enough to control his emotions and not to show it on

his face.

'So, this is what a cultivator's intent really like. It's amazing, I must admit!'

As Austin sensed Billy's spear intent more, he learned something more about it.

Clang!

Without further ado, Austin wielded his sword to one of the moves of the Cloud Swordsmanship.

But aside from what he had learned in the Beast Mountain, Austin also applied something he just

learned from Billy's spear intent.

This move might seem ordinary, but it followed the natural principle of clouds drifting in the sky–being

rare and swift that no one could catch it easily.

Austin had learned the Cloud Swordsmanship to some great extent. It had played an important role in

his fight with the evil ape last time.

At that moment, Austin felt like he was being weighed down by Billy's spear intent.

But the situation helped Austin understand a higher-level martial art skill.

With this new discovery, Austin made one move that helped him lessen the force that was weighing

him down.

The disciples in the audience were familiar with the Sun Sect's Cloud Swordsmanship.

When they saw the move Austin made, they knew that despite his lack of sword intent, Austin's Cloud

Swordsmanship had already reached the Major Achievement Stage.

Everyone was in awe at Austin's amazing moves.

"Well, I never expected that you had reached the Major Achievement Stage of the Cloud

Swordsmanship. But you still lack sword intent. You can't beat me with just skill mastery," Billy said.

Billy's eyes suddenly lit brighter and vital energy flew out from his body like a storm. His hair rippled

and his clothes plumped up without any wind. He was now ready to fight!

"Let's start!"

Billy leaped towards Austin. He waved his spear swiftly and it shot out spear radiance like blasts of

wind.

The move was called Dragon Winding Spear Skill. Its crucial damage was the winding and twisting

force. A dozen of spear radiance could break a big rock into pieces.

Austin's feet stamped lightly on the platform to commence his Wind-commanding Skills. Together with

his Cloud Swordsmanship, Austin moved lightly and swiftly like a snowflake in the wind—you could see

it, but you could hardly touch it.

Austin's sword penetrated through the clouds of spear radiance like sunshine and contended against it.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

The sound of metals colliding was heard continuously as it produced a shower of spark.

During their fight, Austin felt forces dragging him and holding him back.

A total of ten sharp forces were weighing him down, making him less flexible. His bodily moving skill

became slower than usual and he could not move as freely as he wanted.

The spear intent wrapped Austin's sword and it became heavier.

It was the spear intent!

This was how the spear intent worked!

"This is amazing!" Austin shouted.

As he shouted, his vital energy quickly flooded out like golden circles around his body.

Level seven of the Energy Gathering Realm!

Billy's eyes widened in surprise. Austin was just at the level six of the Energy Gathering Realm three

days ago.

But now he was already at the level seven. How could he improve that much in just three days?

Judging from the collision of the sword and spear, Austin's vital energy was almost as dense as his.

"You are good. In just three days you managed to upgrade from the sixth level to the seventh. But you

still can't defeat me!" Billy sneered at Austin.

At this time, Billy started to take Austin seriously, which was rare for him.

He had underestimated Austin and thought that he could defeat the latter with his spear intent.

Although Austin was having a hard time, he was surprisingly doing well in their battle.

"What is going on? The two have fought more than a dozen rounds. But how can Austin still stand?"

Most of the disciples in the audience area had bet on Austin's failure. But after a while, Austin was still

fighting and not even losing despite not having the upper hand.

So, a lot of them who bet on Austin's failure were starting to get frustrated. They couldn't help but shout

at Austin.

"Austin Lin, just give up! I bet all my wealth on you losing!"

"Fie! I thought Billy can defeat Austin in one hit. What is going on now? It's been a while since their

fight started but Austin is still alive. I have placed a high bet on Billy's victory! I can't lose that much!"

Some of the outer disciples realized that Austin was more powerful than most of the outer disciples

now that he had achieved the seventh level of the Energy Gathering Realm and the Major Achievement

Stage of the Cloud Swordsmanship Skill.

Although his cultivation base had reduced, Austin was still too powerful to be ignored.

"So, it's true that you have your own advantages. No wonder you're so arrogant. But I am telling you…

I'm just warming up!

The real fight just started!"

Billy said loudly.

He gave Austin a despising smile. He waved his spear continuously until the air was full of spear

radiance.

Billy had demonstrated all the wonderfulness of the spear skills!

Austin felt that it would be hard for him to fight Billy in this way. He was entrapped by the spear

radiance around him. The bursts of spear intent pierced through Austin's defense and stabbed his

body.

"Sizz! Sizz!"

The spear intent twisted, and Austin's upper garment was torn into pieces. Austin was also bleeding

from the scratches he received from the spear radiance.

"I've warned you! I can kill you easily! Flood Dragon Hit!"

Billy smiled heroically as he got the upper hand again. Suddenly his spear turned slowly as if it was

losing its strength.

It was actually the trump card of the Dragon Wind Spear Skill. It simplified the skill into one move and

gathered all the vital energy in it. It could splinter everything!

"Sizz!"

The strength of the spear was tearing the air and made it whistled. A black wave appeared from the top

of the spear and it twisted continuously, rushing towards Austin.

A dozen of spear radiance turned into one

and it was powerful than anything else.

Ting!

It produced a crisp sound and the sword in Austin's hand was broken into pieces.

"Austin can't dodge that! He will surely die this time!"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Soon the disciples in the audience area started whispering.

"This move returns to its original nature and the spear intent has made Austin as its target. He cannot

avoid it anymore."

"He's lucky to die quickly!"

Lara said. She was also in the audience area witnessing how the fight would turn.

Marvin, on the other hand, was a little disappointed about all the earth spirit fruits Austin had picked up.

He had seen that Austin got more than twenty earth spirit fruits that could not be used up to improve

one's skill in a short time and all of them were kept by Austin.

Recently, he had been thinking about how to take the earth spirit fruits away from Austin.

He dared not to act too rashly because he knew it would bring him great trouble to kill Austin in the sect

without any excuse as Murray was focusing his attention on Austin all the time.

Unexpectedly, before he could think of a good way, Austin was about to die from Billy's spear.

Seeing what was happening on the stage, Marvin felt happy for Austin's fate but also pity for the earth

spirit fruits.

At a corner of the audience area, Denali was trying to control herself by holding her mouth to avoid

screaming so loud.

She turned her head down not wanting to see Austin dying.

"Austin!"

In another corner, Mindy also exclaimed. She closely stared at the two men on the stage in hope that

Austin could create a miracle at the crucial moment.

"Tin!"

Evan also felt bad and shouted. He stood up and wanted to rush onto the stage to save Austin's life.

But five young disciples held him down to prevent him from walking there.

Meanwhile, on the stage, Austin felt that the sharp spear intent was targeting him. Suddenly, the vital

energy flooded from his feet and the Wind-commanding Skill was running to an extreme extent.

At the same time, he swiftly made different gestures with his hands to form special hand signs one after

another like butterflies dancing.

Golden light vital energy started to gradually appear from his palms. Vital energy snakes occurred and

twisted on his arms.

The Grand Pagoda was formed instantly!

It was larger and quicker to form than the first time Austin used it.

Recently, Austin had kept practicing his Grand Pagoda Summoning Skill. With the help of his powerful

spiritual sense, the Grand Pagoda formed quicker and it became more solid.
