The middle-aged man in a black gown, who had led the Ghost Sect members here, was stunned when he saw that Austin also deployed twenty corpse generals. He stared at Austin with an astonished expression.
The number of the corpse soldiers and corpse generals owned by a member of the Ghost Sect had relation to the position of that member in the Sect. The more corpse generals he possessed, the higher the position he held in the Sect. While being the head of these group members, this man owned a mere two corpse generals. 'But this young man owns twenty corpse generals. Is he also a member of our Ghost Sect and in a higher position than me?’ the man puzzled.
The middle-aged leader in the black gown did not know what do to at that moment.
As a result the over fifty corpse soldiers also stopped all their moves and did not attack Austin.
"Are you... Are you from our Ghost Sect? How can you then stand together with the Zhang Clan? The thirtieth Altar Owner, Altar Owner Lu, is my leader. He has senthere to take control of the Valley Town and obtain as many resources here as possible and to make ready for the expansion of our Ghost Sect.
Who..." The black garbed Ghost Sect leader demanded of Austin with a confused expression.
The Ghost Sect was a hierarchical organization, and they had strict rules about how their members treated each other among members of different positions. All the members at lower positions had to be careful not to annoy the higher ranking members.
Once members of a higher rank felt unsatisfied with a member of a lower order, they could punish or even kill that offending member.
So the middle-aged leader in black had to address Austin carefully, and he cautiously showed his respect to Austin when he saw Austin had deployed twenty corpse generals.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing his behavior, Austin smiled coldly and of course, he knew why the man acted so cautiously.
"You don't have to know who | am. Now I've found that the two corpse generals of yours are good enough and they qualify to be owned by me. So give your corpse generals to me," Austin instructed firmly.
"What? Who... Who on earth are you... ..." The lower ranking sect leader becfurious and shouted at Austin in the end.
But Austin did not want to talk to him anymore. His mind controlled the twenty corpse generals, and he lined them up in front of the courtyard of the Zhang Clan, preventing others from entering it through the gate.
Moving across the ground on his swift feet, Austin strode out to face the middle-aged man. So quick was his bodily movement skill that Austin nearly covered this small distance in a second.
The middle-aged man just saw his figure flash and the young man appeared in front of him. He was so shocked that he almost died.
"Go and die!" the middle-aged man shouted furiously and his vital energy started to rise inside his body.
He was going to use his killing skill to fight against Austin.
Sizz! A slight sound was heard.
A sword with a golden flflowering along the blade stabbed into the offending Ghost Sect member's chest. It passed through his body and stuck out from the center of his back.
Then fire appeared in his wound. The flames burned fiercely and intensely.
Austin used his left hand and took a small black cloth bag belted at the man's waist. At the stime, he pulled off the space ring from around the dead man's finger.
Before the man had even given an exclamation of pain or could even slip off from the blade, he had been turned into ashes.
Everyone was stunned and shocked into silence, including Mindy, Zachary and other members of the Zhang Clan, and even the members of the Ghost Sect who had been led by the black garbed man, after they saw what had happened.
A Mysterious Realm cultivator had actually been killed in only one move! The man in black seemed not to even have had a chance to fight back, and in hindsight, he seemed then as weak as an ant which had been squished to death by a far superior being.
After the leader of the group had died, Austin waved his vital energy sword again. His sword-light flashed as dangerous as lightning. Each tthe blade moved in a glittering arc, two or three of the Ghost Sect died.
Austin's vital energy sword contained his Spiritual Sword Aura, which was condensed by a fragment of his sword potential. So the vital energy sword was much more powerful than an ordinary one.
The more Austin learned about the ways of the sword, including its strength and skills, the stronger the power of the vital energy sword became.
The FlSwordsmanship was actually one of the sword using skills. The unique point of the FlSwordsmanship was that the sword it used was made entirely of vital energy. If Austin wanted to develop the greater potential of the FlSwordsmanship, he had also needed to learn sword skills.
Austin's way of using sword skills was at level one of sword potential.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the Ghost Sect disciples’ leader had died, the other members of the Ghost Sect were much easier to defeat still, as the most powerful ones among them were merely cultivators at the premium stage of Earth Realm.
Being so weak, they would of course be easily defeated by Austin. In a short tspan, all of the fifty plus members of the Ghost Sect were dead or dying by Austin's lighting quick hand.
In the end, there was only one member of the Ghost Sect still left alive.
All the bodies of the other cultivators, who had been killed by Austin's vital energy sword, were greedily devoured by the fierce fire.
They had all been reduced to ash, with not even a bone left in sight.
Such was the power of the Scorching Evil Fire! There were also the over fifty corpse soldiers and two corpse generals remaining, still standing at attention.
The two corpse generals could not attack others without the command of their controller.
When Austin had so swiftly killed the controller, the man had not had tto give orders to his two corpse generals. And now they stood in limbo, still and unmoving.
The corpse soldiers could however be directly controlled by the corpse flags.
Austin had previously obtained detailed instructions on how to control corpse soldiers and corpse generals from the Altar Owner of the Ghost Sect in the Ghost Valley.
After Austin had killed most members of the Ghost Sect, he used his spiritual sense to check the heads of the two corpse generals.
He found the previous spirit sense signs of the man in black there and simply attached his own spirit sense signs.
Austin used his mind control skill, and the two corpse generals both cunder his control. The two corpse generals cover to Austin and stood beside him with their hands hanging down at their sides.
