Austin eyed Violet from head to toe and then heaved a sigh of relief when he was sure that she was safe and sound. Then he turned to the strangers, his face livid.
"Brat! I don't care who you are or how you're related to this demonic fox.
Our young master took a fancy to her, so you better step back and give her to us. Otherwise, you won't live to see another day," Steve threatened.
His face turned as dark as ink when he saw Austin break his vital energy rope to release Violet. He heard Violet call Austin "Master," so he was guessing that she was his pet.
"Hah?
Are you serious?"
Disdain was written all over Austin's face.
He had seen Steve when he was battling with Violet. He could tell that he was at the preliminary stage of the Sky Realm.
"You're courting death! I'll let you taste my Wind-splitting Finger!"
Austin's words irritated Steve. Unable to bear the humiliation, he used all of his vital energy force to form a giant finger. The finger tore up the air around it and it also produced a sharp sound. It flew towards Austin's chest at high speed.
"Humph! Just a small trick! You're not that impressive," Austin taunted.
He didn't dodge the attack. Instead, he stood still and produced a sword from his palm. It was surrounded by flames.
Then he controlled the sword to destroy the finger.
Boom!
The sword slashed through the finger effortlessly as if it were merely a balloon. The finger exploded into a thousand pieces and vanished in the air.
"He's at the medium stage of the Sky Realm!" exclaimed Steve.
He and his companions stared at Austin in stunned disbelief.
They didn't expect that this young man was already at the medium stage of the Sky Realm.
Some of them realized that the sword in Austin's hand was not just an ordinary weapon. It could block the attack of a cultivator at the preliminary stage of the Sky Realm as easily as blowing dust off a table.
"No wonder you're so arrogant. It looks like you really are something!"
Steve said through gritted teeth. Somehow, he was extremely jealous of Austin because the latter was younger and stronger than him.
He tried to suppress his anger. Austin's cultivation base was highe
pe, but it also has a tiger's soul. It's like a real tiger!' Austin thought.
Steve's martial arts skill was amazing, but Austin was not afraid of him at all.
Like what he had done to the black rock diabolic bull, he integrated the eight kinds of forces of Brutal Blast Fist into a light ball and threw it at the tiger.
The light ball gave out a dazzling golden light which even Austin couldn't look straight at because he was afraid that his eyes might get burned. The light landed on the tiger's head.
Bang!
The tiger suddenly stopped in its tracks.
Steve's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what he just saw.
Boom!
With a bang, the tiger was split into a thousand vital energy force dusts that scattered all over the sky before disappearing. Strangely, Austin even heard the tiger's crying and wailing before it disappeared.
He felt like he just punched a real tiger instead of a tiger that was formed by vital energy.
"Son of a bitch! You bastard just destroyed my tiger soul! How dare you?!"
Steve yelled at the top of his lungs. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw that Austin defeat his tiger with just one punch.
While Steve was still in shock, Austin took the opportunity to use his body movement skill. He was suddenly standing before Steve in just a blink of an eye.
Without a moment's hesitation, he integrated the eight forces again and threw a punch at Steve's chest. The air around them trembled with a reverberating buzz.
