Chapter 572 The Final Battle
All of a sudden Austin killed the skinny man, much to the shock of all of the gathered Ghost Sect
cultivators. After a stunned moment they all began to scream at once.
Altar Owner Lu?
Austin was also stunned. He recalled that the members of the Ghost Sect who he had met at Valley
Town had actually been sent by the thirtieth Altar Owner. And thest name of that man happened to
be Lu. So, was the person he had just killed in fact the thirtieth Altar Owner?
Then Austin burst intoughter.
"That''s Austin. Hey, you guys, look. Isn''t that Austin?"
"That''s right. It''s Austin!" At the same time, some of the disciples of the Sun Sect, who were besieged
by corpse soldiers and generals in the center of the Martial Arts Square, recognized Austin''s face and
called his name in a low voice.
Meanwhile, dozens of the Ghost Sect members had already waved their corpse gs ordering scores
of corpse soldiers toy siege to Austin and Violet.
Simultaneously, two or three corpse generals also swooped down on them.
Seeing their enemies'' moves, Violet chuckled while taking out a few corpse gs of her own. Then she
began to wave the gs too.
Suddenly, hundreds of corpse soldiers gathered behind Austin and Violet rushed forward, blocking
attacks from the other corpse soldiers.
Austin also opened a corpse nourishing bag which was belted around his waist, and twenty corpse
generals lined up, ready for his orders.
Under the lead of his spiritual sense, the twenty corpse generals quickly jumped forward and besieged
the other fifteen corpse generals in the Martial Arts Square.
Due to their superior strength in numbers, Austin''s corpse generals quickly surrounded the fifteen
corpse generals under themand of the Ghost Sect, and these generals soon found themselves at
a disadvantage.
"Who the hell are you? Where did you learn how to control the corpse armies of our sect?"
the members of the Ghost Sect shouted in offense, shocked by the twenty corpse generals which had
been sent out by Austin.
However, Austin had no time for exnations. He waved his arms slightly toward the members of the
Ghost Sect.
Crack!
Dozens of lightning bolts, thick as human arms, struck the members of the Ghost Sect fiercely and all
at once.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
All the members that were hit by the lightning streaks were knocked to the ground like kites with broken
strings. As they fell into crumpled heaps, each of them turned into a mass of coal, smoke rising from
their remains. The air became filled with the stench of singed hair and burnt flesh.
After Altar Owner Lu, who was in the medium stage of the Mysterious Realm, had died, the strongest
remaining members of the Ghost Sect were only at the primary stage of the Mysterious Realm.
Since Austin had already managed to refine the beast soul of the thunder unicorn, and possessed the
Thunder Elixir, and had been absorbing natural thunder force for a while, his ability of controlling
thunder and lightning wasrgely improved. Moreover, the thunder energy which was stored in the
Thunder Elixir was quite abundant.
So none of the members of the Ghost Sect was able to dodge Austin''s lightning strikes.
In a short while, Austin had dispatched all of the Ghost Sect members present with his fatal lightning
force and Windmanding Skill which gave him both incredible speed and terrible powers.
Most of the members of the Ghost Sect had even failed to react to Austin''s fast movements.
Still, there were a few members who responded quickly andmanded two hundred corpse soldiers
to attack him.
However, the corpse soldiers were barely able to touch Austin because of his excellent bodily
movement skill. What''s more, Violet had also directed more than one hundred corpse soldiers into
beating the other corpse soldiers back.
The first thing Austin did after he had killed all the members of the Ghost Sect was to wipe out the
memories of their fifteen corpse generals and imprint his own spiritual sense mark on them. As a result,
he had gained control over another fifteen corpse generals.
This meant that Austin now owned forty five corpse generals which were equal to forty five cultivators
in the premium stage of Earth Realm!
After cing the undead army into a corpse bag, Austin told Violet to gather all the corpse gs that
remained intact with the smoldering bodies of the Ghost Sect members.
Meanwhile, he walked straight toward the disciples of the Sun Sect who were still standing on the
Martial Arts Square blinking their eyes in astonishment.
Before Austin had appeared, more than a thousand terrified disciples of the Sun Sect were being
guarded by the Ghost Sect members, and they had not dared to resist the Ghost Sect''s dominion.
Moreover, they had overheard the conversations between the Ghost Sect members, that they were
being captured by the Ghost Sect in order to refine them into corpse soldiers!
Therefore all the disciples of the Sun Sect were scared to death. They could never imagine themselves
being transformed into mindless ghoulish corpse soldiers!
But then Austin had single-handedly ughtered all the Ghost Sect members, and liberated their
prisoners.
The disciples of the Sun Sect were terribly shocked, and unable to believe what had just happened.
They nkly watched Austin walking toward them, as if he was some kind of a god or a monster and
they didn''t know how to respond to him.
"Ha, Marquis, long time no see.
What a surprise that we meet again,"
Austin said this with a smile and walked directly to one of the Sun Sect disciples.
"What... what... Austin... you..."
The man that Austin was talking to was Marquis, who ranked first among the Top Ten Disciples.
Now Marquis just stared at Austin with a dazed look. He tried to talk to Austin but was not able to utter
a single word as if an invisible hand was strangling him.
So he just stood there, choking on his own tongue.
What Austin had just done really shocked him. Never before had he seen such skills or power.
After a long while, Marquis was finally able to take a hold of himself.
"Austin, how did you just kill them all?
Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
This is so unexpected. You''ve be very powerful indeed."
Austin nodded and then shrugged.
Austin''s fame had spread all over the Violet Orchid Empire during his cultivation journeys. And Marquis
had definitely heard of his achievements. Nevertheless, deep down Marquis had still refused to believe
the stories about Austin.
However, after seeing with his own eyes what had just happened, Marquis finally realized that Austin
had indeed reached a level that he could only dream of.
"Ha, Marquis, I''m ttered,"
Austin said with a slight smile, but not denying what Marquis had said either.
Marquis had still remained at the preliminary stage of Earth Realm as before, and hadn''t made any
progress this year.
"Austin, where did you learn how to control those monsters?"
the sweet voice of a girl reached out to Austin.
A female disciple with bright eyes and graceful eyebrows was walking towards them.
Her name was Lacey. He had met her previously, and remembered that she was a powerful outer
disciple.
"Well, I learned this a while ago. Actually it''s quite easy to learn,"
Austin said with an embarrassed smile.
Meanwhile, Violet had already collected all the corpse gs and had gained control of more than two
hundred corpse soldiers. With the original corpse soldiers which they had, Austin and Violet were now
able to control more than three hundred corpse soldiers.
"My fellow apprentices, I havee to Sun Mountain at this time to fight against the Ghost Sect and its
members.
Marquis, you are well aware of the situation facing the Sun Sect right now.
In fact, I need a favor from you guys,"
Austin said loudly to the Sun Sect disciples.
... ...
Meanwhile, at the top of Sun Mountain.
As Theon and all the Elders were talking about Austin, they heard a voice echo up from the bottom of
the mountain. The sound rose to a deafening pitch and thousands of Sun Sect disciples heard it clearly.
"Damn it. Those bastards of the Ghost Sect have gone too far. Sect Leader, why are you still hesitating
right now? Just give the order and let us fight them to the death!"
one of the Elders, whose face had already turned red with fury, said when he heard the sound.
"Elders, are you all in favor of fighting them now?"
Theon nced at the Elders one by one. Although he was the Sect Leader, he still had to listen to the
advice of all the Elders when it came to matters that concerned life and death.
"Sect Leader, the Ghost Sect is an evil sect. We have always considered ourselves as disciples of a
decent sect. We can never join those vicious people.
Under circumstances like this, I think we must fight now.
Even if we all die in battle, we will die with honor. Then we can meet the ancestors without guilt."
All the Elders gave an amazingly consistent proposal. Even the Stewards agreed to entering battle.
After all, the Ghost Sect had always been regarded as an evil existence by the cultivators of all the
other sects in the Violet Orchid Empire. When the name of the Ghost Sect was brought up, the
disciples of the decent sects would start to curse. Deep down the popce had already begun seeing
the Ghost Sect as the embodiment of evil.
"All right. Since we have all agreed to fight them, then let''s cast our lot and battle them!"
Finally, Theon had made up his mind to fight.
"All viins of the Ghost Sect, hear this: Although we are not a powerful sect, we are still a decent and
upright sect in the Violet Orchid Empire. And we will never surrender to evil beings like you!
You want a fight? Then let''s fight!"
Theon used his vital energy to project his voice to the bottom of the mountain.
After a while.
"Ha-ha-ha, perfect! That''s perfect! I''m tired of your simpleton reasoning. Since you want to y the
''holier than thou'' game, I''ll let you face the end of that act.
None of you will get away this time. I''ll kill you all!"
It was easy to tell that the man who was speaking was trying very hard to suppress his anger.
