Chapter 2827 Taking Out A Reclusive Elder

Austin trudged along at a seemingly sedate pace. Since he activated the Omnipotent Lightness, he managed to cross hundreds of thousands of miles with a couple of steps. In a span of a few seconds, he was outside the impressive wrought-iron gate of the Yaksha Palace headquarters.

"Huh?

I did not expect you to be here, as well.

Do you plan on taking me down together? Is that it?" Austin had raised his voice but he was surprisingly calm and collected. He carried himself confidently, and he spoke with such impregnable conviction.

"Come over here, and I'll let you meet your maker," he added. He clasped his hands behind his back, his hair dramatically flowing with the cold breeze of the wind.

Austin stood there, brimming with confidence, ready to take anyone who decided to come his way. His eyes sparked of passion and fury, an inferno that was more than his heart could manage.

He was assured with the power he possessed. With his current capacity, he had nothing to fear since he could even take down the strongest masters at this rate.

After his bold declaration, the whole Yaksha Palace was lulled into silence.

It was poison to them; the eerie dead stillness was a cruelty Austin inflicted upon them. He smirked.

"You are so arrogant!"

Finally, the owner of the Star Island broke the tension. He gritted his teeth in vexation, unable to believe that a person would have the audacity to challenge them all in this manner.

"Don't you dare address your superiors this way, Austin, you will deeply regret it,"

the leader of the Heavenly Palace warned.

"I have to admit that you are a truly powerful warrior," the leader of the Yaksha Palace acknowledged.

"But for you to actually fight against us all? You're just digging you own grave, you cocky bastard.

Know your place, Austin."

Every word he spat rained down on Austin like a grenade. On the outside, the leader of the Yaksha Palace may seem like he was seething in anger and deeply offended with Austin's bold move, when in reality, he was actually pleased that Austin showed up and brought the fight with the masters. This way, he didn't have to face him on his own.

With him alone, the leader of the Yaksha Palace didn't think that he could take down Austin—he was too formidable.

But if he teamed up with so many masters against Austin, he thought that the odds would be in their favor.

"Young man, you're giving yourself too much credit. You've let pride get the best of you," a thin, middle-aged man added. He spoke in a low voice, as if warning Austin to surrender while he still had the chance.

Like the rest of them, he was also dubbed as one of the best masters in the universe.

The other masters kept silent but their eyes flashed with indignance and anger, much like lightning on a pitch black night.

Austin looked controlled and unbothered. Even at the face of the strongest cultivators in the universe, he remained unfazed. In fact, there was even a hint of glee and excitement in his eyes. He tugged his lip upwards creating a sinister smirk on his face.

'They are just slightly weaker than the leader of the Sword Palace, ' Austin thought proudly.

He had managed to take down the S

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

r moral ascendancy. You know you're finished." The smirk grew over Austin's face, turning into a full-blown wicked smile.

He was itching to take down the Yaksha Palace's leader. But before he could attack, the leader of the Heavenly Palace leader stepped forward.

"Austin, the corpse soldiers of the underworld are haunting our universe. Instead of fighting against each other, why don't we join hands and fight the invaders together?

It would be best if we just talk this over and think it through.

What do you say?"

The Heavenly Palace's leader had his lips in a grim line. He awaited Austin's response.

"With your strength, you're qualified to be one of the leaders of the Universal Allied Army. Join us in fending off the corpse soldiers.

It's not wise for us to fight right now,"

another master added.

Their minds were sent reeling when they saw Austin kill the elder without even breaking a sweat; they thought that turning him into an enemy was going to be their demise.

"In the past, the Yaksha Palace kept on assaulting me and the Immortal End World. Why didn't you stop them and speak for us back then? Stop offering me an alliance if it only works in your convenience.

Now I'm trying to get even with this old bastard, you are lecturing me as if I am doing the wrong thing.

I always stick to my principles. If anyone tries to provoke me, I'll make sure that they'll pay the price!

Since you all decided to take his side, you can fight me together.

I don't mind killing you all."

Austin's knuckles turned white from clenching his fists too hard. He gritted his teeth as he tried to stop himself from annihilating all of them right there. He exuded an animosity that was like acid—scorching, penetrating, potent.

"Austin, we've already given you a choice, but you turned down our kindness. Do you really think you can defeat us on your own?"

Annoyed by Austin's brazen attitude, the owner of the Star Island cursed him continually.

"You got any problem with that? Come here, and I'll kill you."

Austin's voice was low and dangerous, as if he was a predator ready to pounce on his prey.
