Having only reached the medium stage of Semi-emperor Realm, Laura was no match for Austin's demonic avatar. There was nothing she could do to resist the impending attacks now.
"No!"
She let out a fearful squeal as the demonic avatar seized her by the throat and lifted her up from the ground. Her legs started kicking the air beneath her as she tried to free herself from the demonic avatar's grasp.
However, it didn't take long before she stopped struggling. As her arms grew still beside her, her entire body also became motionless. Only the fear in her eyes indicated that there was still life inside of her.
Whoosh!
The next second, the demonic avatar went back to Austin with Laura's neck still in its grasp.
"What did you say just now?
If I remember correctly, you called her a bitch, didn't you?
How dare you address her that way?
And how dare you hold her hostage and threaten me with her safety?" Austin asked slowly in her ear.
"I will tell you what--if anything bad happens to her, anything at all, I will make all of the people in your eleven dirty sects--disciples and leaders alike--pay for it! You will all die for it, I promise you!" Austin announced, this time in a loud voice to make sure that the others could hear him as well.
"Now slap this bitch in the face! Let's see if she will learn her lesson!"
Austin ordered his demonic avatar as he glared at Laura with burning hatred.
The demonic avatar followed Austin's order without a moment's hesitation.
Holding Laura's neck with its right hand, it slapped her across her face with its left hand, time and again. The sounds from the slaps were so clear and loud that they echoed through the entire area for everyone present to hear.
Even though Laura had been alive in this world for at least hundreds of years, she still looked fairly young thanks to her high-level cultivation base and her secret way of maintaining a tender skin. Just moments ago, anyone lucky enough to have laid his eyes on her would have found her as beautiful and lively as a teenage girl.
But now, after just a few slaps from the powerful demonic avatar, both sides of her face
grasping her around the neck like she was nothing more than a dying little chicken. Now, it was everyone else's turn.
"One, two, three..."
Austin started to count with a dead serious face.
Upon hearing his words, Lenard studied Austin gravely. Finally, he took a deep breath, and quickly discussed the entire matter with his men through their spiritual sense.
Despite all of them being leaders or high ranking warriors like the reclusive elders from the eleven strong sects of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, they were now being forced to take a young man seriously.
In the end, they came to a conclusion--they would succumb to Austin's demand and let the queen go.
After careful consideration, they decided that they should not take Austin and his strong demonic avatar lightly given what they had the ability to do.
As much as they hated to admit it, they knew in their hearts that none of them would be able to defeat Austin if a fight actually started.
Besides, apart from the demonic avatar, Austin still had a hundred thousand men from his A.L. Army to support him, which made him even harder to defeat.
"Go and bring the woman out now."
When Austin was already half way through the countdown, Lenard finally ordered several elders beside him to release the queen.
On his command, those elders activated their bodily movement skills at once and went back to the mountain where the queen was locked up.
