"Ha-ha!"
Austin burst into laughter.
"I didn't know Ronnie thinks so highly of me.
But still. Who does he think he is? He wants me to bow to him? That's ridiculous. He gives himself too much credit.
When you return, tell him that I'd consider taking him in only if he swears loyalty to me,"
Austin said arrogantly.
"Humph!
You have a death wish, Austin. No one can save you!"
the skinny old man from the Annihilation Mountain said, his face darkening.
"If you want to fight, get on with it. If not, get lost. Stop talking nonsense!"
Austin barked impatiently at the old man, taking a threatening step forward.
"Show me what you've got. I want to see if you're bluffing."
Saying this, the old man stepped forward and made his move.
"You old bastard, I'm not afraid of you!"
Austin almost screeched as he dashed towards the old man, undaunted.
The last time he had fought a semi-governing god from the Annihilation Mountain, it had ended in a draw.
Hence, Austin was no longer afraid of semi-governing gods.
Boom!
The battle that broke out seemed to shake the earth to its core.
These two were way too powerful. For a long time after the impact, the void that spanned billions of miles around them, shook vigorously and was filled with a number of runes of law.
Austin's body was covered in a layer of light made of sword aura. Each time he made a move, he unleashed the dazzling sword radiance.
He activated five skills at the same time: the Mind Sword Skill, the Secret Reincarnation Skill, the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation, the Flying Swordsmanship Skill, and the secret skill that belonged to the heaven metal race.
Each skill was brilliant and had infinite power.
The skinny old man from the Annihilation Mountain was also extremely powerful.
He released an overwhelming amount of black smoke that engulfed Austin.
This was the second time that Austin was fighting a semi-governing god.
"AAAAAAH!"
Austin screamed, knowing that he was getting carried away. There was one thing in his mind: pull all stops to defeat the old man.
"Austin, try as you might, you will still be weaker than me. I'm going to finish you once and for all,"
the old man shouted.
"Don't talk big, old man. You will perish at my hands!"
Austin roared back.
His and the old man's eyes turned red as their fight intensified.
Endless sword aur
one after the other.
"Austin, try fighting my blade!"
The old creature with a golden horn from the beast race pulled out an oddly-shaped machete and brandished it at Austin from afar.
The blade emitted a brilliant radiance that swept across the sky.
Shadows of worlds with members of the beast race in them could be seen rising up from the machete, which soon became so heavy; it seemed like it could trample upon a large area.
"Austin, you have done a lot of evil things to our Novel Court. Today, I will settle scores with you."
Saying thus, the semi-governing god of the Novel Court joined the fight.
In each of his hands was a crystal ball, emitting a thick white mist before condensing into two white dragons, which then roared and rushed towards Austin.
The six semi-governing gods had launched attacks on Austin.
They had performed their best tricks.
Six semi-governing gods simultaneously attacking a young man was a shocking event that had never occurred in the Sea of Chaos before.
"All right. Let's fight!" Austin shouted, smiling rather evilly.
He was not scared. Instead, his fighting spirit was soaring towards the skies.
He began to display all kinds of secret skills, bringing them out one after the other.
"We can't let this brat live!"
"Kill him!"
The six semi-governing gods looked determined and murderous as they pulled out all stops in fighting Austin. Each of their strikes was lethal.
"We need to help Austin.
He might die if it goes on like this,"
the sky-devouring dog said to the other eleven animals through its spiritual sense.
