As Austin defeated Johnson's powerful Spectral Claw, Johnson felt a severe shock like he were struck by lightning. At the base of his throat, a sickly sweet liquid oozed out and blood began to trickle from his mouth.
"Well, you and your nephew are guilty of doing cruel fiendish things. It is time someone took justice in their own hands and sent you to hell to reunite with him."
Austin was clear on this. He was determined to kill Johnson.
The thought aside, Austin was surprised to be able to easily defeat Johnson with just a part of his strength. He had even suppressed his cultivation base and nonetheless been successful in achieving his plan.
Maybe, Austin thought, 'I am way stronger than most stewards in the Sun Sect. Now is my chance to show my might and prove my superiority.'
"You were hiding so well, you little bastard! Humph, you want to kill me? That's not as easy as you think.
I am the steward. If you kill me, the whole sect will come after you."
Johnson wiped the blood off his mouth and stared straight into Austin's eyes. He had been posing as a steward to intimidate Austin all this while.
But now that Austin had confronted Johnson, Austin was determined not to let his 'steward' status bother him anymore. In fact, nothing could stop him from killing Johnson.
Worse comes to worst, Austin would kill all the sect's disciples.
Since no witnesses were present, who would really be able to guess that it was him who killed Johnson?
"Funny, is it? You think I dare not kill you because you are the steward? Sorry, I don't care. Even though you are an Elder, I couldn't care less about either of these things."
Austin was determined to prove his words right. He was using all his strength, his vital energy of the premium stage of the Earth Realm to attack by using every part of the sword intent of the Illusory Swordsmanship.
His sword cracked into tiny fissures
y Austin in just two punches.
But nothing stirred inside Austin. He had no mercy for him and so, took out his Violet Royal Sword. Thirty beams of sword-light blazed towards Johnson like flames about to lick him into a fatal fire.
Even if Johnson was reluctant to die this way, he was just too weak to protect himself against this fate. Austin's sword-light was all over Johnson.
His heart, his chest, his mouth and his head. Not a little part of his body survived. There were wounds across his whole body.
In a moment, Johnson's head drooped. There was no sign of life from him, besides his wide gaping eyes that had last been mortified at the slaughter he was about to face.
Austin's rising powers meant not a good fate for the rest of Johnson's disciples either. The vulnerable group was killed by Violet without being able to land a single blow on her. Violet's cultivation base of energy was equal to the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm and was inching every minute to the next level.
On top of that, Violet's illusory self and quick moves as a nine tail demon fox was more than what was needed to kill the disciples of the seventh to ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.
In just a short period, Violet had vanquished about half of them.
