"So what? Do I need to be afraid of the Ximen Clan?
Don't even try to threaten me, old man. It won't work on me.
I'm here to destroy the Ximen Clan, and that won't change,"
Austin sneered.
"Stop shooting your mouth off.
Our clan has existed for several eras while you're just a young man. How do you have the audacity to claim that you are going to destroy it?
Go to hell!"
the governing god fired back furiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, an enormous sword appeared in his hand, almost too big for him to wield.
But surprisingly, he moved it with unparalleled speed and momentum as he charged at Austin.
For a moment, the endless bright sword radiance turned all the surrounding space white with a flash, as if millions of stars had exploded at the same time.
However, Austin was quick to react. He swung his long sword, blocking the governing god's attack without much effort.
As the swords collided, the bright sword radiance dimmed down again, revealing the two warriors locked in battle.
"Take this, old man!"
With a complacent smirk on his face, Austin waved his long sword at an astonishing speed and used all kinds of mysterious sword strikes that he had in his arsenal.
At the same time,
he also activated the Mind Sword Skill, the Ultimate Mind Sword Skill, Puppet Strings, and a few other powerful secret skills one after another.
The tremendous great cosmos force gushed out of Austin's body, containing so much pressure that it crushed every inch of the void that it touched.
"You..."
The governing god was simply speechless. His entire body trembled lightly in a mixture of shock and surprise.
Although he had heard that Austin was very powerful,
he hadn't expected him to be this strong.
He had exerted all his energy and unleashed all his skills from the beginning because he had known that Austin was not easy to deal with.
However, it was only now that he realized that he had still underestimated Austin.
This governing god had the responsibility of guarding the ancestral land, and hence, he rarely went out.
So unlike many of the other governing gods, he had neither battled Austin nor witnessed him battling someone else in person.
Of course, he had heard that Austin had fought against dozens of governing gods on his own and not only survived, but also scared them off.
However, he had taken all those stories with a grain of salt, remaining dubious even as he listened to the other governing gods talk about their firsthand experience fighting against Austin. After all, everyone had the tendency to exaggerate their battles.
And more importantly, he just couldn't believe that a young man who was only a genuine premium-grade divine god could take on dozens of governing gods alone.
In fact, such a feat was unheard of in the entire Sword Cosmos.
But now that he was directly facing Austin, the governing god finally realized that there was a high possibility of all those stories being true; Austin seemed more than capable of taking on dozens of governing gods at once!
Faced with that much power, he of course stepped back in fright.
Now that he had realized the extent of Austin's power, he also knew that his life was in danger. Unfortunately for him, it was too late
ning god yelled. Then, without holding anything back, he released his sword aura, which shone brightly as if there was a world of light contained in his body.
However,
it took Austin only another two moves to chop the governing god into pieces,
causing his flesh and blood to splash everywhere.
"Argh!"
the governing god screamed in pain.
Even as he screamed, he felt the unfightable sting of shame.
As a governing god, he had always deemed himself to be one of the most powerful warriors.
But now, he had lost miserably against a young man!
Even if he survived this battle, he didn't know if he could recover from the shame.
"Austin, I won't let you go!"
he roared with determination.
At the same time, his spiritual soul appeared in the distance and his body began to reconstruct.
For governing gods, it took barely any time to rebuild their bodies.
In fact, the whole process could be completed in the blink of an eye. This was a speed that most opponents couldn't keep up with.
However, Austin wasn't like most opponents.
While the governing god was rebuilding his body,
Austin appeared at his side with immeasurable speed and once again slashed at him with his long sword.
The governing god let out another scream, each one sounding more desperate than the last.
He didn't know what to do.
Every time he tried to rebuild his body, it would be cut into pieces before the process was completed.
How could he ever fight in such a situation?
Fortunately for him, a majestic aura descended over the whole place, and a rumbling voice said,
"Austin, how dare you make trouble for our Ximen Clan?"
Then, a powerful pressure swept over the whole space in this area.
That was immediately followed by the appearance of a governing god wearing golden robes. His aura was terrifying, to say the least.
Then, another old man with white hair and a white beard also appeared, albeit from a different direction.
As he walked step by step, he seemed to be moving at a snail's pace, but in reality, his movements were swift and smooth. With every step he took, suns, moons, and stars appeared all around him, lighting up the sky.
