Chapter 2689 A Duel With Devil Ancestor Bale

"Ha-ha! Are you kidding me?" Austin sneered with disdain.

"Shut up, you old bastard, or you'll bite your tongue."

Today, Austin wasn't feeling the usual pressure and trepidation he used to feel in the presence of a sect ancestor.

Even in the face of a showdown with Dennis from the Yaksha Palace, he had been undaunted. He wasn't about to buckle now that he had to fight Devil Ancestor Bale, who was considerably less powerful than his other enemy.

"How dare you speak to the devil ancestor in such a tone!"

The four grand leaders stood nearby, along with a hoard of evil creatures from the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Evil Energy Realms. They were hurling furious slurs at him.

"You certainly are courting death!"

"You are nothing but a bunch of ants!" Austin snarled back at them.

"I can chop you all down with a single blow!"

He remained unfazed by the prospect of battling with a sect ancestor and hundreds of evil creatures by himself. In fact, he almost reveled in it, and took great pleasure in provoking them.

If asked at the moment, he could probably say in all honesty that he had no care for the entire Third Demonic World at all.

"Argh!" One of the grand leaders screamed in frustration.

"Austin, you are out of your damn mind!

Fine then! It will be my utmost pleasure to kill you, you arrogant bastard."

A powerful demonic energy broke out of the grand leader's body.

And in his hand, a black spear appeared, blazing with black light and pulsing with intense power. He threw it at Austin, his aim swift and terrifying.

Whoosh!

Austin put one hand behind his back, and out of it shot a beam of dazzling sword-light, searing through the sky towards the grand leader.

It contained the sword intent of six thousand sword moves, all combined into one.

It could cut through anything that ever existed in the world.

The sword-light pierced through his defense of demonic power, then through his chest.

The grand leader's body shook violently.

And then...

Bang!

His body crumpled and exploded into bits of ashes, before vanishing to thin air.

With just one move, Austin had killed a grand leader.

'It would seem that a concentrated sword intent yields greater power.'

Austin marveled at this new discovery.

After having practiced the Concentration Method, he felt the power of his swordsmanship steadily growing.

"What?!" The evil creatures

f they joined into the fray to assist their master, they would be of no use in such an intense battle.

The reverberating energy exuded by the combatants, even from a distance, was too terrifying for them to comprehend.

"Austin! I swear, I am not going to stop until I finally kill you!" Devil Ancestor Bale roared.

He gathered himself and swooped over Austin like a dark cloud. His blood vitality became that of a bottomless sea. Black light enveloped him. He was turning into a black hole, devouring all the light and space around him.

Swish, swish, swish!

Black Divine Law Chains rushed out from him, like giant, fiendish snakes dancing wildly.

The chains intertwined themselves with each other and turned into a massive pillar of black light. A fiery dark flame blazed through its surface and soared into the sky, illuminating the surface below.

Bang!

With their surroundings lit, everyone could see a ferocious-looking evil god sitting cross-legged beneath the pillar where the fire shot up. All of a sudden, the demon god spit out sharp beams of black light that blocked the attacks from Austin and his demonic avatar.

Spears of dark red fire engulfed the space as they darted towards Austin, their speed and intensity almost overwhelming.

Not only could these flames hurt mortal flesh, they could also corrode people's spiritual sense and endanger their spiritual souls.

It had to be said -- for all of Devil Ancestor Bale's injuries, to be able to unleash these attacks one after another, each with such formidable force, his fighting ability could truly not be underestimated.
