Chapter 597 Time To Win The War


    Austin wanted to end the battle as soon as possible. So he pushed his advantage and made a dash at


    the Sky Realm warrior who was darting through the sky. In a sh, Austin had caught up with him and


    like a shadowunched his attack.


    Several quick, loud thuds were heard, followed by grunts of pain.


    Again and again! Austin brutally punched his rival, eventually smashing the man''s body in a relentless


    attack. Before the man could even cry out for help, his body was twisted and torn limb from limb, with


    twisted body parts plummeting to the ground in a bloody shower of guts and gore.


    But Austin didn''t retract his ws yet. Instead, he turned and lunged at the remaining Mysterious Sky


    Empire invaders. Although they were all at the medium stage of Sky Realm, Austin killed them swiftly


    and cleanly, like a lion tearing its prey apart with only a few strikes of its massive ws.


    Very soon, all the Sky Realm invaders were wiped out!


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    And all by Austin alone! He truly was an army of one.


    Seeing that Austin had so easily finished off all the Sky Realm masters from the Mysterious Sky Empire


    in such a short time, their equivalents from the Violet Orchid Empire shuddered. They involuntarily took


    a step back each time an enemy was shredded, as if they feared that they would be the next targets of


    Austin''s fierce fists.


    "Well, problem solved," Austin said after catching his breath. "Your majesty, I think it''s time that you go


    and conduct the war below," he then suggested.


    But he was looking at the Sky Realm cultivators from the Violet Orchid Empire when he spoke. They


    stood aghast, and still dared not move. Obviously, it was to them that Austin was sending a reminder.


    Down below, armies from the two empires were still wrestling mightily with each other, and it seemed


    that the Violet Orchid Empire''s forces were currently at a disadvantage. They might lose without help!


    However, Austin knew that if these Sky Realm cultivators joined the battle, they could turn the tide very


    easily. He hoped that his demonstration would galvanize them into action.


    What was an army whenpared with so many high level cultivators anyway?


    Hearing Austin''s words, the emperor suddenly snapped to his senses. Using his spiritual power, he


    evaluated the situation down below and found that it was not pleasing to their side.


    "Come on. Time to end this war," he ordered decisively.


    With a wave of his hand, Emperor Author led the Sky Realm cultivators into the battle. They swooped


    down, and like raptors pausing before the final strike, they came to hover mid-air over the battlefield in


    a flying formation. Then, the whole sky was brightly lit up as they unleashed their powerful vital force


    against the invaders below with their palms facing downwards.


    The army below mainly consisted of soldiers cultivating at the Energy Gathering Realm. Only a few had


    reached the Earth Realm. While only the generals had attained the Mysterious Realm yet.


    Sure enough, an army like this was merely a mass of weak and insignificant insects in the eyes of the


    Sky Realm cultivators.


    It took each of the dozen or so Sky Realm cultivators only one attack to generate a storm of powerful


    vital energy force, with which to bombard thousands of the Mysterious Sky Empire soldiers. In the face


    of this merciless onught, the army disintegrated almost instantly.


    It was fair to say that no soldier on the battlefield could survive this kind of attack. For them, seeing the


    light of vital energy showering down this powerfully meant a swift meeting with Death.


    With the Sky Realm cultivators'' assistance, the enemy troops were struck down in no time. Their


    intervention was thest domino which set the copse of the invasion in motion. Even the corpse


    soldiers were defeated and smashed into insignificance at this moment.


    Despite the corpse soldiers being made of toughened bones, and being beyond death, as they were


    already dead, they were simply consumed by the energy sts and reduced to ashes.


    Austin breathed a sigh of relief from where he was watching the tide turning. ''Finally, I can expect the


    imperial capital city to be safe again, '' he thought contentedly.


    He had nned to set up his two fiancees in the Austin Pce, together with Evan and Herbert before


    he left the capital again. If the city had fallen, this would have greatly inconvenienced him.


    Naturally, he would prefer the city to be peaceful and safe in his absence. In fact, this had been his


    main motivator for rushing back to join the fighting.


    If not for the threat to his own property, he would have had no interest in the territorial dispute between


    the two empires at all.


    Sensing that their victory was assured in the war below, Austin then turned his eyes upwards into the


    sky, where the fiercest and most violent battle was taking ce.


    Above him, Emperor Kirnd was being harried by the ancient evil ape. Blow after blow rained on his


    back, shoulders and arms. Big and heavy as millstones, the ancient evil ape''s fast fists had restricted


    Kirnd''s mobility, preventing his escape. He couldn''t even defend himself, let alone fighting back.


    The evil ape was a great primeval beast of prodigious strength. Despite itsrge size, it was frightfully


    fast. It threw jabs and punches, decimating the emperor in a smooth and clean attack. It moved so fast


    that it blurred and Austin could hardly see it clearly in the flurried activities of the fight.


    In fact, its punches were so powerful that the very air around it seemed to reverberate and churn with


    the force of each blow''s impact. The space was bing distorted and the air around its fists was


    being pushed outwards, forming a vacuum that sucked the Emperor in.


    As the assault raged, the stress and violence of the evil ape''s attacks batted Kirnd''s vital energy


    aside. Unable to gather enough vital energy tounch a counter attack, he kept retreating, trying to


    protect himself. Eventually he was forced into a passive fetal position.


    Meanwhile, Warren was gradually gaining the upper hand while fighting against the leader of the Ghost


    Sect.


    "It seems that this fight should also end soon," Austin said to himself.


    Without a second thought, he used his bodily movement skill to rush over to Kirnd, who had given


    up on struggling against the ancient evil ape and was simply trying to survive the relentless barrage of


    violence.


    "Damn, you bastard!" Kirnd swore when he saw Austin''s fast approach from the corner of his eye.


    He hated Austin''s guts right now. Moments ago, victory was in sight for the Mysterious Sky Empire, but


    this hateful youth had juste out of nowhere and ruined everything! The victory which had seemed


    guaranteed had tasted so sweet, but now only bitter bile flooded the Emperor''s mouth.


    Now that Austin was drawing nearer and nearer, Kirnd wished that he could free himself from the


    evil ape and grind the offensive snot''s bones to dust! Other than that, he had no way to vent his


    resentment!


    But the truth was, he was unable to pay Austin any more attention as he had to focus on fighting


    against the crazy evil ape if he still wanted to save himself. He was being hard-pressed in his defenses


    by the evil brute!


    Suddenly, Austin was at his side, a demoning to gloat over his victory.


    "It seems to me that you are about to lose the battle, your majesty," Austin teased.


    In fact, he was trying to catch Kirnd''s attention, for he had to establish a directmunication with


    his enemy if he hoped to deploy the Demon-creating Skill against him.


    As expected, Kirnd shot a ferocious look at him when he heard these words.


    "I''ll tear you into pieces, you asshole!" the emperor hissed through clenched teeth.


    "Oh, I really doubt if you can, your majesty," Austin continued baiting.


    "I don''t think you will ever have that chance.


    You see, the ground here outside the capital city will be your burial mound today.


    I feel sorry for you. Truly, I do! Yet I still don''t understand why a distinguished and pampered emperor


    such as yourself would want to give up your affluent life of luxury toe here and die a miserable


    death. What a pity!"


    Austin said in a voice dripping with sarcasm.


    "Don''t count your chickens before they hatch, boy. This isn''t over yet. He whoughs bestughsst,"


    Kirnd retorted. He was now positively fuming with rage, and he red balefully at Austin. If looks


    could kill, Austin would have been dead already!


    But just then, Kirnd heard a ghastly growl at the edge of hearing from within his Soul Sea. Then a


    murderous and dangerous aura registered in his conscious mind.


    Before he could figure out what was happening, a malicious-looking demon had broken through his


    inner defenses and stormed into his mind.


    He was being attacked by pure spiritual power! Damn it!


    As a cultivator refining at the Imperial Realm, Kirnd could immediately see with his powerful spiritual


    sense that the demon in his Soul Sea had been created using spiritual power with the aim to kill him.


    He was right about its hostile intentions. As soon as the demon hadpletely formed, it made a dash


    for Kirnd''s spiritual soul at high speed.


    Kirnd was painfully aware of the dire consequences which he would suffer should the creature''s


    attack seed. Death would be inevitable then!


    So without dy, he activated his own spiritual sense and attempted to construct giant, roaring waves


    of spiritual power with which to meet the demon.


    But as a result, he found it even harder tobat the ancient evil ape with his physical body, as he


    now had to do battle on two fronts and became distracted.


    The evil ape seized the opportunity and dealt Kirnd several heavy blows, which threw him back time


    and again, further weakening his body.


    Austin sneered seeing that Kirnd was beingpletely contained. He then clenched his fist, and


    struck at him from a distance using his refined Brutal st Fist.


    However, just as he thought that Kirnd was doomed for sure, thetter sensed his action. Before the


    power of the Brutal st Fist could reach him, Kirnd felt a strange and ufortable feeling


    threatening to overwhelm him. A hidden force?


    Kirnd was after all a much more powerful cultivator than a Sky Realm cultivator. He had already


    be an Imperial Realm Master, and he possessed a much stronger spiritual sense than theirs.


    Secretly, Kirnd realized immediately that Austin wasunching a furtive attack, as he felt the buildup


    of a fierce force from the young man. Without letting on that he sensed the impending strike against


    him, he began to prepare.
