Having reached Mysterious Realm, Dwayne owned the Soul Sea. Realizing that he couldn't catch Austin, Dwayne unleashed his spiritual sense to attack him.
Fortunately, Austin could tell right away that Dwayne's spiritual sense was not as strong as his.
Without hesitation, Austin threw a Spiritual Sense Flying Needle at Dwayne, piercing his spiritual sense.
A shock went through Dwayne's body. He paused in midair, a look of amazement crossing his features.
How was that possible? His surprise was because he had hardly broken into Austin's Soul Sea when a purer and stronger spiritual sense had attacked his.
A mere touch had caused damage to his spiritual sense, which had cracked, unable to resist the attack.
Was it Austin who had released the spiritual sense? No! Impossible! Austin had only just reached the premium stage of Earth Realm. How could he possibly own spiritual sense? Besides, this spiritual sense was too strong, even stronger than his. Could this belong to Austin, whose cultivation base was much lower than his? After a brief moment of shock, Dwayne recovered his wits. But Austin was already out of reach. Flapping his vulture wings, Austin flew quickly towards the other side of Sun Mountain.
Both Dwayne and Abbott turned pale with fury. Without bidding farewell to the elders of the Sun Sect, they signaled to their subordinates to retreat. They walked out of the yard and left Sun Mountain in a hurry.
Both of them took the direction that Austin had fled away in. They didn't give up the chase.
The moment he arrived at the foot of Sun Mountain, Dwayne turned around and shouted a command.
"All the top fighters of Flaming Sun Valley should set out at once to chase Austin. Be sure to bring him to me." At almost the stime, Abbott issued the sorder to the members of the Blood Wolf Team.
"Elites of the Blood Wolf Team, your mission now is to catch Austin. He is wanted dead or alive!" "Hah! Blood Wolf Team's rudeness is known to all. But | never expected that the members of Flaming Sun Valley would also be so impolite," one of the elders of Sun Sect who was offended by Dwayne and Abbott's discourtesy said. They had left without paying their obeisance or saying goodbye.
The elder who was dressed up as a nun, surnamed Li, sneered coldly.
"Hah-hah! How wonderful! Austin really impressed me. | never thought that he could get away with all of this, safe and sound!" Satisfied and relaxed, another elder said loudly, his face aglow.
"Just look at their faces as they slink away! It's the best! They had bullied us to no end these past few days. I'm fed up with their surliness and arrogance.
Austin is just a disciple of the Sun Sect, but they just could not harm him.
What a relief!" "Austin is very talented. What a pity that he has split off from the Sun Sect," Theon said.
Theon felt a profound feeling of loss. He and Austin had been quite congenial and he appreciated the youngster in every aspect: his disposition, strength, and potential. If such a thing hadn't happened, he had really wanted to accept Austin as a disciple and bring out the best in him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEveryone was feeling relieved, except Jaime. Face clouded, he stared sullenly in the direction that Austin left in. Austin's words still rang in his head.
'He had found out that I'm the one who had plotted against him. He will take revenge onsomeday.
He is less than twenty years old now but he already has such strength. He will grow into a top fighter with tand beca vigorous opponent of mine in the future, ' mused Jaime, brows furrowed.
This thought made him restless with anxiety. He had to get rid of this potential rival as soon as possible.
Austin had already left Sun Mountain, but didn't stop to rest. He kept infusing his vital energy force into the spreading wings on his back. He had to get away from this place, fast and far.
He knew for sure that neither the Flaming Sun Valley nor the Blood Wolf Team would give up that easily. They would send their top fighters to chase him.
One pair of heels is often worth two pairs of hands. Austin decided to run away and find a place where they couldn't get at him, so he could cup with scountermeasures. . .
Austin was heading towards a vast mountain that was covered in dense forest. The dense green of the trees swayed along with the breeze, making it look like the waves of the sea. A strong wind blew, whipping up huge waves that soon spread out into the distance and gradually disappeared from sight. It was the most magnificent sight ever.
Above the vast stretch of green was the seemingly endless blue sky.
A figure soared overhead at a great height in the luminous sky like an eagle. Austin glided through the clouds, looking back from tto tand scanning the skies with his piercing eyes.
Though he saw nobody behind him, deep inside, an awareness was stirring, one that told him that the fighters of the Flaming Sun Valley and Blood Wolf Team were trailing him.
Both the Blood Wolf Team and the Flaming Sun Valley were strong forces.
Though he had reached the premium stage of Earth Realm, he wouldn't be able to resist an attack from an alliance of the two forces.
Having flown for more than an hour without landing, he had replenished himself with vital energy twice.
He knew that the vital energy stored in the vital energy stone in his elixir field was running out.
The long flight would exhaust his vital energy reserves.
'l can't continue like this. | have to land and rest, ' said Austin to himself.
He was now far away from the Sun Sect, perhaps more than one hundred miles away. It would take the enemies a long tto find him.
His wings folded into themselves and disappeared.
With that, he began his descent into the thick forest.
In the dense forest, a giant tree rose up and cut into the sky. But because of the countless other trees that were even taller, it was not that conspicuous.
The top of the tree in question had a sturdy branch, full of thick, lush green leaves.
"Phew!" Someone let out a sigh of relief from among the branches.
A few seconds later, the leaves stirred. Two hands pushed aside the branches and the comely face of a boy appeared. Austin.
After landing on the tree, he slumped down on the sturdy branch and leaned back against the trunk, soaked with sweat.
Breathing fast and hard, he wiped his forehead.
For more than an hour, Austin had consumed the vital energy to maintain the flapping of the wings on his back. It had not only caused a great loss of vital energy, but also exhausted him both physically and mentally.
"Thank goodness | managed to get away!" Austin said to himself, relieved. "What a narrow escape! And the vital energy stored in the vital energy stone is almost exhausted. But it doesn't matter. I'll find a chance to fill it up." "Master, it seems that the Flaming Sun Valley and the Blood Wolf Teams won't give up on catching you.
What are you going to do next?" Violet's voice whispered in his head.
Austin did not reply immediately. He took a few deep breaths to clear his mind and relax his body.
As his breathing settled, he said in a composed voice: "I'll have to cover my tracks from now on. The Flaming Sun Valley and the Blood Wolf Teams must be in hot pursuit ofnow.
If they turn out in full strength to chase me, I'll be at a disadvantage. I'm not strong enough to withstand the attack of the two forces, now that they have ctogether." Austin clenched his fists and stared into the crystal clear sky. A pale gleam of sunlight fell through the leaves onto his youthful face.
He knew that Dwayne and Abbott were determined to kill him. And the fighters of the Flaming Sun Valley and the Blood Wolf Teams must be on the way to take his life.
"Dwayne, Abbott," said Austin with a sardonic chuckle, "you have made an enemy oftoday. | hope you won't regret it in the future.
| retreat today because I'm not strong enough yet. But if you think I'm a gutless coward who dares to do nothing more than run away, you are sadly mistaken.
Because one day | will find you and kill you with my own hands!" He thought for a moment. Then, putting his arms around the trunk, he deftly slid down the tree like an ape.
The moment he reached land, he thrust his feet against the ground and leapt forward. He disappeared into the dark forest like a flash.
In the lush forest, Austin swooped through the thick trees at an incredible speed, like a big bat spreading its wings.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe planned to find a good hiding place to rest and think about what to do next.
As he went forward at full speed, Austin found many low-level diabolic beasts inhabiting the forest. Most of them were only at level 2 or level 3.
Austin hadn't cacross any level 4 beasts yet.
In a forest filled with diabolic beasts, it was not easy to find somewhere he could rest without being disturbed.
But Austin was lucky enough.
He found a good place to settle down before dusk.
Tramping through the undergrowth, he cto a flat piece of open land. In front of him there was a three or four-meter-wide crack on the mountain.
Austin cup slowly to the edge of the crack. As he looked down, all he could see was a bottomless abyss.
He raised his head and his gaze swept rapidly over the opposite cliff. Suddenly, a dark cave attracted his attention.
The cave was dozens of meters away from the top of the mountain. It didn't look like a man-made cave. Rather, it looked like sdiabolic beast had opened it with its sharp claws and great strength.
"Oh | can't believe what I've found!" Austin exclaimed as his eyes widened. It was the perfect shelter for him. Mist hovered around the cave so hiding in it wouldn't expose him even if somebody passed by.
Austin stared at the dark cave, his eyes bright with excitement. There were many dark caves like that on the cliff, but the one he had his eyes on was at the most favorable location.
Mists and fog swirled about the cave, hindering sight. So even if observed from the opposite cliff, the cave was not easy to find. It was a perfect hiding place.
Nevertheless, diabolic beasts were numerous in this boundless forest. So maybe the cave was a den of sbeast. He had to be careful or he might be attacked.
To be on the safe side, Austin released his spiritual sense to explore the cave.
Just as he had expected, a beast crouching on the rock appeared in his Soul Sea.
Austin recognized it immediately.
It was a double-headed snake hawk, level 2.
"Forgive me. You'll have to find another home," Austin said as a sly smile crossed his face.
His feet tapped on the ground and his body darted towards the cave, like a lightning splitting the clear sky.
