Chapter 107 Austin Strikes Back (Part Two)
Sighing heavily, Austin carried both bodies of the men he killed into the woods to conceal them, hardly
making any sound at all. Once he aplished this task, he again disappeared.
For a while, the dense forest was silent and peaceful. asionally, a few beasts jumped through the
woods, startling birds resting on branches as they made their way across.
But the serenity didn''tst very long. The silence was interrupted by a disciple, who was running away,
a look of desperation on his sweaty face. His motions and heavy panting startled the birds and drove
them away.
Ignoring the damage he was leaving in his trail, he kept on running. From time to time, he would nce
back at the dark forest behind him, a look of horror on his face as if wild and ferocious animals were
right behind him.
He was one of the many outer disciples following Billy.
Along with two others, he had gone ahead in search of Austin.
As they wandered in the forest, Austinunched sneak attacks on them. They quickly realized Austin
must have killed their teammates earlier. Two more from the team suffered the same fate. Only he
managed to escape.
Out of breath after running several kilometers, the outer disciple suddenly had a look of eagerness
once he saw the ce far ahead.
He needed to run a few hundred meters more to reach the temporary stronghold of Marvin, Billy and
other members of his group.
Once there, he would be able to seek the help of hispanions, and there would be no need to fear
Austin, who was probably still chasing him to end his life.
Pushing forward using his remaining strength, he jumped slightly and the soles of his feet stepped hard
on a tree trunk. The momentum helped increased his running speed.
It was exhrating to gain speed again, even after running fast for a long time. The outer disciple
realized that all the effort he put in practicing his martial arts skill regrly had paid off.
Seeing that he was close to reaching the shelter, he became more hopeful that he would survive, and
this thought made him so ecstatic that he ran even faster.
However, his hopes came quickly crashing. The disciple was horrified to see a figure standing about
ten meters in front of him, blocking his way towards the stronghold.
His eyes shed with terror. Before he could shout for help, a ck light appeared on his chest,
followed by a ck de with power so strong that it could cut through wind and air and pierced his
chest.
A "whoosh" sound was followed by a ck light that came out of his back before it disappeared.
Something heavy fell on the ground and made a muffled "bang" sound.
It was the outer disciple who fell on the grass, his eyes wide open, seemingly unwilling to die.
He stared closely at the figure before him, and his pupils gradually turned white. A few secondster,
his breathing stopped.
As he watched thetest outer disciple slowly die, Austin whispered coldly," The sixth one... Since you
were going to take my life, you must be prepared to die by my hand.
Do not me me for being wicked and merciless!" he said dispassionately.
Tallying his encounters, Austin counted six outer disciples altogether.
There might have been over a dozen disciples who came with Billy, every one of them weaker than
Billy and Marvin, so Austin took their lives first.
That day, Austin was the object of their hunt, so he had to take measures to protect himself against his
hunters, and regarded this as an opportunity to refine and further strengthen his power.
In the process of being tracked, and tracking his predators, again and again, the young warrior''s actual
It also astonished Austin that even after a whole day''s continuous fighting, he seemed to have a new
it.
To be more precise, he had made further progress in hisprehension of the Windmanding
Skill''s third set, Using the Wind.

At the same time, Austin discovered that he had greatly improved the flexibility of his bodily movement
skill. Each time he practiced this ability, he felt like fluffy catkins floating in the wind, which was difficult
to capture just like ghosts, moving strangely and unpredictably.
Meanwhile, his running speed was now twice as fast.
In the past, Austin had this mistaken belief about the Windmanding Skill''s potential as defensive
weapon.
The skill was erratic, though flexible when dealing with the enemy, and while its advance, retreat, and
dodge modes helped him be more elusive to the enemy, it provided little advantage in long-
distance running as speed was the basis.
Long-distance running should test a man''s vital energy to the fullest extent.
But now, with the progress he made in his Windmanding Skill, Austin discovered that his
understanding of this particr ability was not urate.
The truth was this exceptional skill could be used to enhance long-distance running speed as well.
While running long distances was a real test of a fighter''s vital energy strength, this also measured
one''s feet-moving skill using vital energy.
If one''s skills in using vital energy were highly efficient, he would achieve faster speed with the most
economical vital energy force.
In the old days, Austin could cover five meters by taking one step. Today, after a deeper understanding
of the use of the wind from the Windmanding Skill, he was pleasantly surprised that each step
now covered nine to ten meters.
Thus, his actual running speed at present was twice as fast as before once he learned to further hone
this skill and learn its intricacies.
The discovery excited Austin.
It was remarkable that at such a terrifying speed, Austin could move faster, appear and disappear
mysteriously like a ghost.
Together with Austin''s powerful spiritual sense, which could monitor anything within a 400-meter range,
tracking him would be close to impossible.
Outer disciples and anyone preying on him would be bbergasted.
Before they could even draw close to Austin, he would have immediately discovered them.
So, if they were only a small number of people, Austin could simply kill them immediately. On the other
hand, with arger number of predators, he could just disappear instantly.
Now, as he looked at the clearing in the middle of the forest, he saw six or seven people standing
there.
Examining the group closely, he noted that Marvin and Billy were among them.
