"We cannot let him escape!" someone yelled hysterically.
Upon hearing those words, the warriors around Austin hurriedly dashed towards him one after the other, immensely desperate to finish him off.
It wasn't that they hated him. The actual reason they wanted to kill him so badly was the Sky Sect's extremely irresistible reward for anyone who could kill Austin. The award included an invaluable holy weapon and some divine vital energy crystals which were enough to tempt any cultivator.
"Now there's an offer that's just too good to pass up—a holy weapon and a thousand divine vital energy crystals in exchange for the life of someone who is only in the medium stage of Master Realm? What a swell deal! Opportunities like this only come once in a blue moon," one warrior said excitedly.
All the warriors stared greedily at Austin like a pack of hungry wolves about to prey on a weak and helpless lamb.
"We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves, though. I heard that he has a long, purple bow which is so powerful it can shoot down an Astral Realm master with minimal effort. We should be careful as to how we will coordinate our joint attacks and always remember to proceed with caution,"
one warrior said. Unlike the others, he had been informed about Austin's powerful weapon beforehand, so he made sure to warn everyone else.
"Humph! If you're afraid of being killed, just get out of our way right now. There's no place for scared cats here. You are being ridiculous! Do you honestly believe that some warrior in the medium stage of Master Realm would be capable of defeating us with nothing more than that weapon of his? He is just some tiny ant that we can easily step on!"
one of them retorted angrily. He was so arrogant and full of himself that he thought that they could defeat Austin ri
ith me again.
I didn't expect that they would post a reward just to hunt me down. Now, I am being hunted by so many warriors!"
Austin said in a low voice as he frowned slightly.
At that point, he became quite aware that the history of hatred between him and the Sky Sect would not come to an end until one of them was slaughtered.
He knew how much they wanted to kill him. After all, they even offered a holy weapon as one of the rewards for hunting him down. It just showed how determined they were to kill him.
"Sky Sect! Look at what you have done to me!
One day, I will make you pay for all the sufferings you have imposed on me!"
Austin snarled as he clenched his fists and his eyes grew sharp.
A few seconds later, Austin pulled himself together and managed to calm down enough to regain his usual nonchalant expression.
Austin was looking back at the Thunder Palace when the top of the Palace which was immersed in lightning arcs caught his eye. Soon, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth as he came up with a pretty good plan.
If he were surrounded by that many Astral Realm masters in any other place, he was sure that he would not be able to deal with it.
