Chapter 224 Executing Marvin (Part Two)


    Billy wielded his spear and aimed it at Austin. With his half level spear intent, Billy could transfer his


    energy to his spear and provide it with a powerful vital energy force. Dozens rays of spear-light


    emanated from his spear. Without wasting time, he ordered them to attack Austin.


    It was the first time Austin was fighting Billy and his first time fighting someone who hadprehended


    spear intent. Austin began on the back foot, finding it difficult to deal with the spear-light that Billy had


    sent at him. But as he had understood level two sword intent, he knew he could defeat Billy with his


    understanding. Dodging the relentless attacks of the spear-light, Austin began using his sword intent to


    dispel them.


    Meanwhile, Marvin''s giant palm projections had also begun attacking Austin. Undaunted by the threats,


    Austin taunted Marvin, his voice full of malice," Is that all you''ve got? You think you can kill me with this


    little trick? That''s stupid of you. Let me show you what the true intent of a fighter means."


    Austin threw his Spiritual Sense Flying Needle towards Marvin with all his might. The needle found its


    mark and embedded itself into Marvin''s head. As the sharp, unbearable pain struck Marvin, the palm


    intent between himself and the palm projections was suspended. The vital energy swirling in his palms


    disappeared.


    Applying his Windmanding Skill, Austin leapt up swiftly, his vital energy whirling around his legs.


    He dodged the attacks of the palm projections and rushed towards Billy, skidding to a halt in front of


    him.


    Billy was still wielding his spear and attempting to attack Austin. But being this close to Billy, Austin was


    immune to his half level spear intent as his own level two sword intent was protecting him from harm.


    As snow was doomed to destruction at the appearance of burning hot summer sunlight, so was the half


    level spear intent disintegrating before the level two sword intent.


    Helpless in the face of Austin''s power, Billy felt his spear turn heavier and heavier in his hand as the


    half level spear intent between him and his spear gradually evaporated into nothingness.


    At this point, Austin had gotten a clear understanding of their capabilities so he didn''t want to waste his


    time and energy by beating around the bush any longer. He decided to disy all his vital energy


    cultivation bases that belonged to the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm.


    "I think you need to get a feeling of my Illusory Swordsmanship," he said as he looked fixedly at Billy.


    Austin began demonstrating his Illusory Swordsmanship, not once taking his eyes off the man in front


    of him. More than twenty rays of condensed sword radiance appeared from the clouds of sword aura


    that gushed off the sword intent. Whirling and emanating a strong, golden light, the sword radiance


    shot straight at Billy.


    Dumbstruck, Billy still strove to fend off the sword radiance using his spear with all his might. The


    Dragon Winding Spear Skill was the best he could perform, with which he could prick, sweep, cut, and


    block anything much faster than usual. And this was certainly a situation that demanded it.


    But since his spear intent was at a level that was way lower than Austin''s sword intent level, not to


    forget that he had fewer vital energy cultivation bases than him, standing up to Austin''s strike seemed


    like a futile exercise.


    Marvin could have helped him, if he hadn''t been struck by Austin''s Spiritual Sense Flying Needle. The


    pain in his head didn''t allow him to fix his attention to the fight.


    Billy had warded off most of the sword radiance using his Dragon Winding Spear Skill. But it just wasn''t


    enough. He missed a few and they pierced his body from the front and emerged from his back. It was


    as if real, tangible swords had gotten through him, holes appeared in his body where those rays of


    sword radiance had pierced him and blood gushed over him like a thousand rivers.


    There was no way Billy could recover from such piercing blows.


    "Austin, since when have you had the cultivation base of the Earth Realm?"


    Billy was only at level eight of the Energy Gathering Realm, which was a realm much inferior to the


    Earth Realm. But he wasn''t silly. He could recognize Austin''s true cultivation base. He had guessed it


    the minute the sword radiance had appeared.


    "What? He''s in the Earth Realm?"


    Marvin eximed, gaping at Austin in part-wonder and part-terror. He had managed to extricate the


    needle from himself and save himself from the devastating pain. But right now, Billy''s mere words


    inflicted more pain than that needle could ever have inflicted on him.


    "I have been in the Earth Realm for a while," Austin told Billy. "It''s just that your friend Marvin here is


    too stupid to sense it. Looks like you''re much smarter than him. Anyway, it is toote because right now


    is the end of your life."


    Austin unfolded his bodily movement skill. Billy knew that Austin was going to strike him again, but he


    was so badly injured that he had no energy left to try and run away from him.


    A loud punch was heard.


    Using his thousand-pound lifting strength, Austin thrust his fist into Billy''s chest.


    Billy went flying backwards, the sound of his bones cracking clear in the silent night.


    Billynded a few feet away and his body immediately went into a crouch, his muscles convulsing and


    mouth vomiting gusts of blood.


    He was on the verge of death.


    "How dare you kill a person of your own sect!"


    Marvin''s infuriated cry rang out. Knowing Austin''s true cultivation base was hurtful enough, but losing


    Billy in this situation would inevitably bring him defeat in his final fight with Austin. He was terrified, but


    also furious.


    Austin sneered contemptuously at Marvin''s fear. "How ironic that you should say that. Has it ever


    urred to you when you were plotting to kill me, that I belong to the same sect as you? You sound


    horrified right now, but that''s being a hypocrite. But listen, you don''t have to be afraid. I''ll make it quick


    for you."


    The fight hade to its final point. With a shout, Austin leapt up into the sky and summoned his skills


    at Illusory Swordsmanship. Murderous will rose to its height and sword aura filled the atmosphere. The


    sword-light glinted blindingly behind Austin, looking like hundreds of golden dragons roaring around,


    waiting for his order. The level two sword intent had never been so clear and resolute before.


    Austin released all of his vital energy. With the sword intent already present, Austin''s vital energy


    provided the Violet Royal Sword an enormous power that seemed unparalleled. The sword began to


    whirl at a speed that made it difficult for anyone to see its shape clearly. It shot out of its initial trajectory


    and went full st towards Marvin.


    The sword-light followed and the strong whirl of the sword turned into a small hurricane, obliterating


    every object that stood in its way to Marvin.


    Marvin''s face went deathly pale in terror. He knew that right now, he was teetering on the border


    between life and death without much hope for life. He stood up, reactivating his palm intent such that


    the giant palm projections appeared once again around him. He had to stick everything he had behind


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    this throw. This was his only chance. Following his intention, the palm projections went forward and


    formed a shield around him, saving him from Austin''s attack.


    To his utmost disappointment though, the palm projections were no match for the sword-light. For as


    soon as the sword-light approached the palm projections, they became as vulnerable as paper before


    fire and the sword-light were able to easily prate them.


    The earthly yellow palm projections vanished like thick fog confronted by the sudden appearance of the


    sun from behindyers of clouds. There was nothing shielding Marvin now. He waspletely


    defenseless.


    It was how intents of fighters had always worked. Intent of superiority could always suppress and


    destroy the intent of inferiority. In this instance, Austin''s level two sword intent had suppressed Marvin''s


    palm intent and destroyed it.


    After all of Marvin''s palm projections had been destroyed, Austin ordered his Violet Royal Sword


    towards Marvin. More than twenty rays of sword radiance followed and attacked Marvin from all


    directions. Every single ray of sword radiance carried Austin''s vital energy force and was powerful


    enough to injure Marvin.


    At this point, Marvin released all of his vital energy too. He crowded all his vital energy in his hands and


    demonstrated his Giant Magic Palm to its highest state. The giant palm projections appeared again and


    began warding off Austin''s sword radiance.


    The rumbling and ttering sound of the fight echoed in the quietness of the night. The fight became


    more and more intense as minutes passed.


    Rays of sword radiance strove to get through to Marvin, but were blocked by the palm projections.


    "What a relief! I bet you never saw thising," Austin mocked and burst intoughter.


    He thought of their old days on Beast Mountain when all he seemed to do was run and hide from


    Marvin''s hunt.


    He also remembered being in the outer terrain of the Grand Destion Mountain and Marvin following


    him to try and kill him.


    If Austin hadn''t been able to escape every time, he would have died several times over by now. But


    right now, contrary to whatever had happened in the past, Austin was attacking and Marvin was trying


    to escape. This was a scene that Austin had dreamed of many times, but had never turned into reality


    until this moment.


    "I am getting tired of ying with you. Can we just end this game?" Austin almost drawled.


    Austin wielded his Violet Royal Sword once again. A new group of twenty rays of sword radiance came


    out and attacked Marvin.


    The danger that he was in did not allow Marvin to concentrate on anything else but the sword radiance.


    He used his Giant Magic Palm and fended off the sword radiance.


    Austin wasn''t one to take it to heart. Using his mind control skill, he extracted the red and the ck


    daggers from his body. But the minute they appeared, they disappeared again, flying straight towards


    Marvin.


    Marvin sensed it before it happened.


    The daggers were dangerously close to Marvin, the de tops pointing to his neck.


    Much as he strove to ward off the daggers and as he had gathered all of his vital energy force in his


    palms, he did not have any other vital energy force left to withstand what the two daggers were about


    to do to him.


    "I couldn''t die. I should have killed you when I had the chance," Marvin said quietly just before the


    daggers cut through his neck like lightning piercing through a tree.


    His head separated from his body and fell to the ground. Blood gushed out like an eerie spring as the


    beheaded body copsed.
