With a ferocious expression on his face, Billy suddenly raised his hand with a sharp dagger in his palm, glittering like frost and snow.
He thrust the dagger towards Austin's abdomen at a lightning speed.
At that moment, Austin wasn't aware how near Billy got to him. The attack happened so fast that he didn't have the time to dodge.
Despite that, Austin's spiritual sense was so strong that he had already sensed Billy's movement even without looking at it.
Austin's eyes flashed when the pagoda in his hand suddenly radiated the golden rays shooting directly at Billy.
"Bang!"
The golden rays stroke heavily on Billy and he was sent flying. He fell to the ground just outside the field motionless. People didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
There was a rule that when a person got onto the field, his life was his own risk.
Therefore, even if Billy died in the fight, Austin would not be held accountable for his death.
Furthermore, people in the audience all had seen Billy's disgraceful conduct to attack Austin unprepared, so no one would accuse Austin of being cruel, and no one would sympathize with Billy's plight.
Billy had only himself to blame.
Standing on the arena, Austin concealed the pagoda in his hand using his mind.
Everyone was surprised to Austin's delicate features matched by his profound martial art. They were all overwhelmed by Austin's excellent performance. They now understood why he used to be the first among the outer disciples. Despite his vital energy weakened, he could still fight in an amazing way.
If Austin could regain his former strength, he could have unimaginable power.
The fight enabled Austin to once reestablish his reputation among the outer disciples.
As for Billy, he just fainted outside the fighting ground.
After all, Austin had no intention of killing
ore. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" as the saying goes.
It sounded as if Murray knew something about what had happened to Austin three years ago, so the latter was anxious but excited to know at the same time.
"Yes, I do know something about what happened that day. But I haven't told you because I think you're not strong enough to understand and get revenge. If I tell you the truth, I'm afraid you'll risk your life on the spur of the moment," Murray said slowly. He stared at Austin, hoping to get the right message through him.
"Steward Murray." Austin took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves and calming himself down.
Then he continued to say," I almost died, and since then, I realized that life is precious. I'm not going to be impulsive. Passion alone cannot win the revolution; it just makes martyrs. I won't take revenge on him until I'm sure I can beat him.
Just as the proverb says: "Know the weather, know the terrain, and your victory will be complete." I want to know my enemy—who he is, his strengths and weaknesses, his powers. That way, I can understand how much vital energy I must achieve in order to get my revenge. I will use that as a goal for my cultivation, to motivate myself.
