There was a tacit agreement between Austin and the governing gods from four major forces. They
didn't need to say anything but each of them knew their jobs.
Austin fought Warner while the governing gods engaged Emmet, so that the two of them couldn't fight
together. It was a clever case of divide and conquer.
Austin and the governing gods knew that if Warner and Emmet got a chance to set up the sword array,
then the battle was all but lost. It would be incredibly difficult for them to handle the sword array.
"We need to work together!"
Emmet told Warner through his spiritual sense.
The two of them stealthily tried their best to get close to each other.
However, Austin and the governing gods were experienced fighters as well and immediately sensed
what was on their enemy's mind. There was no way they were going to let the duo join hands, so they
kept getting in their way and pushing them apart.
Clang!
On one side of the fierce battle, Austin's flying sword clashed with Warner's black sword and a
sonorous sound was heard.
Warner was forced to step back. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Austin didn't give him a chance to recover. He stepped forwards, and was in front of the man in an
instant.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Thousands of red strings appeared out of nowhere, and engulfed Warner like a storm of crimson
shade.
Before the latter had a chance to struggle, more than a hundred deities rushed out of Austin's body.
They rushed towards Warner like a swarm, each of them exercising a different secret skill to attack him.
Behind those deities, Austin also activated the Mind Sword Skill to attack Warner's internal organs.
Under so many kinds of attacks, Warner received considerable physical damage.
He was spitting blood constantly now.
In a one-on-one fight, he was no match for Austin.
In fact, Austin had fought with a certain amount of reserve since he feared the large amount of great
cosmos force that lay in the abyss. If he weren't holding back due to that reason, Austin would have
won the battle long ago.
But even at a fraction of his strength, Austin's continuous attacks injured Warner severely.
His tormented screams became a constant as the battle progressed.
Crack!
The flying sword made another move and Warner's arm was cut off. It flew into the air and a violent
burst of blood gushed out from the wound. The sky was painted red from Warner's torture.
Austin then activated his physical strength.
His fist lashed out and punched Warner in the shoulder, which threw the latter's body into the air. Such
was the force contained in that punch that Warner's broken bones began protruding out of his body.
After he cultivated the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation, Austin's physical strength had increased
to a terrifying extent.
"Ah!"
Warner let out a pained cry. His body had been severely damaged.
He was covered in blood entirely and his resentful eyes were glaring at Austin.
"Austin, you deserve to die. I'll never let you go!" he snarled hysterically.
Austin burst out laughing.
"Stop embarrassing yourself," he sneered at his opponent.
It was obvious that he had the upper hand in this fight.
On the other hand, Emmet was in no better condition than Warner.
His strength was much higher than Warner's, but he was hopelessly outmatched.
Over twenty governing gods were fighting him simultaneously, which put him in an awkward position.
Each of these governing gods was an extraordinary cultivator.
They had been alive for a long time and mastered all kinds of powerful forbidden secret skills.
With their vastly higher experience and number, they had the upper hand easily.
At the same time, Austin and the governing gods knew their most important task was to keep Warner
and Emmet separate from each other.
Therefore, they went to great lengths to prevent the duo from getting close.
Both of them went all-out in their effort to defeat the enemy.
The void shook as several violent clashes occurred one after another and blood flowed like water.
"Ha-ha! Warner, you won't threaten me ever again, will you?"
Austin stabbed Warner in the chest and turned his sword inside the wound.
"Ahhh..."
Warner screamed horribly, his face distorted from the sharp and violent pangs of pain that kept on
coming.
Since the very beginning of their fight, Austin had smashed his body countless times.
Warner had been forced to rebuild his flesh again and again which had cost him a large amount of
blood essence.
Even if he survived this battle, it would take him a long time to recover from his loss.
"You two villains are feared throughout the cosmos. But it turns out people give you more credit than
due.
You two aren't even on par with ordinary governing gods.
Even a semi-governing god would be able to hold out against you for a while,"
Austin shouted in distain.
"Hang on Austin. You are right.
These two actually are just semi-governing gods.
Their reign of terror stems from a secret skill they've mastered which enables them to use the great
cosmos force present in this world to their advantage. With that force in their repertoire, they seem
equivalent to governing gods."
"These cowards have been hiding in the Ethereal World for a long time now.
They don't have the courage to leave because they know that out of this world, they are nobodies!"
Governing gods from the four major forces explained the source of Warner and Emmet's strength.
So Warner and Emmet were only semi-governing gods.
It was only because they had learned a secret skill which gave them an unfair advantage that they
were such terrifying villains. There was a vast amount of impure great cosmos force in the Ethereal
World which they could absorb using the secret skill.
And while fighting together, they could use the great cosmos force against their enemy. This had
allowed them to wreak havoc on anyone who had ever crossed their paths. But their doom seemed
near today.
"You two will be executed today!"
"Your reign of terror ends now!"
The governing gods shouted in a cold voice which echoed throughout the air.
Then, they launched a joint attack on Emmet which was so powerful that he was thrown away like a
golf ball.
Half of his body exploded on the spot.
Almost simultaneously, Austin's hand lashed out and beheaded Warner with the flying sword.
A jet of blood shot out from his neck, staining the area around him and a pungent smell spread
everywhere.
"Run!"
Emmet told Warner through his spiritual sense.
They knew their deaths were certain if they stayed here.
Therefore, Warner and Emmet tried to make a desperate run for it which did not go so well.
"You're not going anywhere!"
The governing gods rushed after Emmet instantly.
"You think you can escape from me?"
Austin went after Warner,
activating the Shadowless Movement along with the Reincarnation Token.
Not only that, he unleashed all kinds of laws related to space. Using so many skills and moves all at
once, he was able to reach Warner instantly, flying sword in hand and ready for the killing blow.
Warner was severely injured now and was
so weak that he didn't even have the strength to fight anymore.
Austin was almost upon him and gaining every second.
The two of them rushed away in the chase at an alarming pace.
Hundreds of runes related to space and speed trailed behind them and in a flash,
the space on the masters' way turned into nothingness.
The next moment, they were all out of the Chaotic Abyss.
"This isn't over Austin.
Just you wait and see. No matter what it takes, I will destroy you!" Warner shouted at the top of his
lungs from afar.
To be honest, he didn't even have the courage to do that now. But he was shouting to vent his anger.
He had been famous and feared in the Sword Cosmos for a long time.
His name was enough to terrify most creatures in the Sword Cosmos and carried a lot of weight.
His pompous pride was fed every time he thought of how people feared him.
But now, he had just faced defeat at the hands of a young man who
was chasing him like a cat chased a mouse.
If word got out of this defeat,
he would become the laughingstock of the entire Sword Cosmos.
The idea of such humiliation upset him deeply and a
wave of anger washed over him.
