Even in the face of the surging sword light, Austin didn't move an inch and kept his hands behind his
back.
Streaks of sharp sword light endlessly slashed at Austin's body in the blink of an eye.
However, all the streaks of sword light that hit Austin's body seemed to melt and disappear into thin air.
A chill ran through every living being's bodies and their scalps tingled at the sight of the battle.
"Go on!
Don't stop! Make sure not to hold back. Let's see how long this guy can hold on!"
a divine god shouted.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Streaks of sword light continued to hit Austin.
No matter how hard they tried, Austin's body was like a bottomless black hole.
A strong suction force emitted from his body and absorbed all the streaks of sword light that hit him.
"Not bad.
Thanks to these sword intents and sword auras of these sword cultivators, the five truths of
swordsmanship and the world of swordsmanship that's about to take shape in my body can have some
extra nourishment."
Satisfaction filled Austin as he faced down the endless wave of attacks.
Swordsmen of the four major forces constantly released streaks of sword light to attack Austin.
A moment later, their attacks began to slow.
"Damn it!
Why did my swordsmanship level drop?"
"Oh no!
My cultivation base of swordsmanship suddenly also became weaker!
Even my sword aura seems to be getting weaker by the second!"
"What's going on?
Did that strange guy play a trick on us?" Suddenly,
various exclamations left the lips of the creatures attacking Austin.
It wasn't long before they all discovered that their swordsmanship levels were dropping.
On the other hand, Austin was well aware of the current situation. Absorbing the sword intents and
sword auras from the sword cultivators was equal to absorbing their swordsmanship in order to
enhance his own.
"There's something abnormal about that guy!
Stop attacking him!"
All attacks towards Austin suddenly ceased.
Horror bloomed on their faces as they turned to look at Austin.
In their eyes, the man in front of them was too eerie and terrifying.
"Inform our leaders to immediately send masters to help us!
We can't deal with him!"
someone shouted.
"Right! Tell them quickly!"
Other creatures also nodded in agreement.
In the blink of an eye, they sent messages to their leaders.
"Guess I have to leave now."
Without missing a beat, Austin took a step forward and left. He didn't want to waste his time with the
people of the four major forces.
Of course, it wasn't because he was afraid of them.
With his current strength, he wouldn't feel a hint of concern even if the governing gods of the four major
forces chased after him.
However, he didn't want to deal with them right now.
There was still so much to do back at the Sea of Chaos.
Even the earlier battle was just to test his ability to absorb sword auras and sword intents.
Thanks to the people of the four major forces, he was quite satisfied with the results.
"Look! He's escaping!"
"Brat, stop!"
"Stop him! The masters are on their way!"
Anxiety filled the people of the four major forces when they saw that Austin wanted to escape.
All of them hurriedly tried to stop Austin from moving another inch.
"If you don't want to die, get out of my way,"
Austin said calmly.
Whoosh!
A plain sword light, about as thick as a finger, spiraled out.
All the energy and laws in the space around them instantly surged like crazy towards the plain sword
light.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding void became empty.
Every creature felt a strong sense of death bearing down on them.
A chill ran down their spines and none of them could move a single inch.
In their eyes, the sword light Austin released was terrifying beyond compare.
All of a sudden, all the creatures seemed to become controlled by some kind of magic. They trembled
from where they were rooted and helplessly watched Austin's figure go deeper into the void.
A few seconds later,
Austin's figure and aura completely disappeared.
"That was terrifying. I thought I was going to be killed!"
"I feel the same. The moment that guy brandished his sword, I felt like I'd die if I moved an inch!
The feeling of death was too real and terrifying!"
"I almost died of fright!"
Terrified gasps left the creatures one after another.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At this moment, streaks of sharp sword light shot from afar as a group of more powerful sword
cultivators arrived.
"Elder, you're finally here!"
"Steward!"
"Uncle!"
The people of the four major forces all stepped forward to welcome them.
"Where's that weird guy?
Why can't I see him anywhere?"
an old man demanded.
Although his hair and beard were white, his eyes remained bright. Even his body was as straight as a
divine sword and his voice sounded like music to the ears.
He was a semi-governing god
from the Long Sword Sect.
"You're too late.
That guy just left!"
a middle-aged man from the Long Sword Sect explained as he stepped forward.
"What?! What the hell's wrong with you?
Why did you let that brat go?
Don't you know why you're stationed to guard here?"
Fury lit up the white haired old man and streaks of sharp sword radiance burst from his body and made
terrible pressure rush everywhere.
"Please calm down.
That guy was abnormal and horrifying.
It's impossible for us to stop him,"
the middle-aged man quickly defended himself.
"We tried to stop him.
But he almost killed all of us with a single sword strike,"
another creature explained.
"Is that so?
He's really odd.
Simulate the aura of his spiritual soul and show me what he looks like. Let me see who he is,"
demanded the white haired old man.
A divine god quickly stepped forward and waved his hand.
Austin's image appeared in the void.
All the masters of the four major forces who had just arrived gaped at the image.
"What? It's him!
He's the one who broke into the Divine Sword Mountain with Sword Son Curry and mysteriously left
without an explanation!"
a semi-governing god of the Xi'men Clan exclaimed.
"Yes, it's really him. I also recognize him!"
Other semi-governing gods quickly agreed.
In order to capture Austin and Sword Son Curry, the high-level figures of the four major forces,
including these semi-governing gods, all received Austin's image and the aura of his spiritual soul.
So all of them immediately recognized Austin.
As for the ordinary members of the four major forces, they had never seen Austin's image or the aura
of his spiritual soul before, so naturally they didn't recognize him.
