Chapter 599 You Have Lost Your Chance
"Retreat!"
Kirnd, the emperor of the Mysterious Sky Empire, turned around and ordered his army to retreat
from the battle.
"You think that you can still leave here alive, huh? It''s toote!"
A faint smile appeared on Austin''s face as he stared at Kirnd''s back.
Austin seemed to be enjoying the plight of his enemies. He leisurely snapped his fingers at Kirnd''s
direction.
Immediately, Kirnd stopped on his tracks as if he had knocked into an invisible wall. An explosive
sound could be heard from inside him, and his body swayed with the aftermath.
Kirnd coughed out blood that was mingled with pieces of his internal organs. He was obviously on
the verge of dying and was unwilling to ept total defeat.
As the emperor of his empire, he had enjoyed being superior above everyone and had lived a life of
wealth and privilege. Never, not even once, had he expected to die in a foreignnd.
Kirnd''s consciousness gradually slipped away, and his lifeless body dropped on the ground.
After the Sky Realm cultivators of the Violet Orchid Empire joined the battle, the army of the Mysterious
Sky Empire was at a distinct disadvantage. When Kirnd ordered them to retreat, all the soldiers of
the Mysterious Sky Empire scattered to flee.
The whole army of the Mysterious Sky Empire lost all of their courage to fight upon seeing the dead
body of their emperor.
They threw away their weapons and ran away from the battle.
Austin rushed to Kirnd''s body as soon as it fell on the ground. He frisked the corpse without any
scruple and took away all the valuable things, including the Space Ring.
Meanwhile, the fight continued in the sky above the battleground. The Sect Leader of the Ghost Sect
kept dodging thebined attacks of Warren and the ancient evil ape.
"I didn''t expect that your Ghost Sect has developed such a significant force in the dark during all these
years. Indeed, you can easily defeat the five major sects of the Violet Orchid Empire now. However,
you are too arrogant to even think of colluding with the Mysterious Sky Empire and usurping the throne
of our empire.
Don''t you know that people usually die of excessive ambition?"
Warren had paid close attention to the situation of the battleground. Knowing that his imperial capital
city was out of danger now that the army of the Mysterious Sky Empire had fled in defeat, he eventually
let out a sigh of relief.
Warren was relieved to see their victory approaching. He had to act as the guardian of not just the royal
family, but even the whole Violet Orchid Empire since he had the highest martial arts refinement among
the royal family.
"God damn Austin! That bastard messed everything up! I should have conquered your imperial capital
city!
Remember this, Austin! I''ll have you pay for this one day, you bastard!"
The Ghost Sect Leader was extremely furious as he mentioned Austin''s name. He pped his sleeve,
and twenty streaks of ck light shot out. All of a sudden, ck clouds of corpse miasma filled the sky.
The streaks of ck light turned into twenty scary zombies and divided into two groups as they
charged at the ancient evil ape and Warren.
At the same time, the Ghost Sect Leader moved back quickly. He employed his bodily movement skill
and closed the distance like a meteor.
With a loud roar, the ancient evil ape punched one zombie and crashed it into pieces. However, the
other zombies,cking in the feeling of terror, continued to jump on the ape.
Warren also crashed several zombies on his way but was then dyed by the remaining zombies as
well. The zombies managed to buy some time for their master, so Warren was not able to catch up with
the Ghost Sect Leader.
The twenty zombies all had powerful strength equivalent to a cultivator at the preliminary stage of the
Sky Realm. The highly toxic ck corpse miasma surrounding their bodies smelt terrible.
As for the Ghost Sect Leader, he seized the opportunity and fled away at full speed and soon
disappeared on the horizon.
He understood that there was no chance of winning that day and that he might die under the allied
attacks of his rivals. Although he was unwilling to admit his defeat, he analyzed the critical situation and
decided to flee.
As he fled away from the battle, he couldn''t help but already think of his revenge. At that moment, he
loathed Austin the most, more than any of his enemies.
If Austin hadn''t shown up today, things might have happened as the Ghost Sect Leader had nned.
He might have been holding a victory banquet with Kirnd in the Violet Orchid Empire''s imperial
pce and celebrating their sess.
As a powerful cultivator at the medium stage of the Imperial Realm, the Ghost Sect Leader possessed
a potent vital energy force. He moved so quickly and was able to retreat for a kilometer in just a
second.
He heaved a sigh of relief as he stopped temporarily. Suddenly, he heard a sneering from his
front.
"Are you trying to escape? I won''t let you do as you wish!"
The Ghost Sect Leader stared forward, fully alert, and on guard. From a short distance, a man could be
seen floating in the air, blocking his way as a smirk grew on his face.
"Austin!"
The Ghost Sect Leader was enraged to see the young man''s face. Killing intent glinted in his eyes as
anger boiled in his insides.
"You hate me to death, don''t you?
After all, I''ve messed up your perfect n."
Austin said in a mocking tone.
"Austin, I admit that you''ve achieved excellent martial arts skills at such a very young age. However,
your greatest weakness is that you are too arrogant.
How are you going to stop me from leaving? It will take me no effort to kill you!
Actually, this saves me the trouble of finding youter now that you''re here before me. I will send you to
hell!"
The Ghost Sect Leaderughed scornfully. He was at the medium stage of the Imperial Realm, while
Austin was only at the medium stage of the Sky Realm. No matter how skilled Austin was at fighting, it
was almost impossible for him to defeat the Ghost Sect Leader.
"Well, it''s true that I can''t defeat you by myself.
However, you don''t have the luxury of time like me. If you fail to kill me right now, you will never have a
second chance." Austin sneered coldly, evidently irritating and enraging the Ghost Sect Leader even
more.
Although the Ghost Sect Leader was at a higher realm of vital energy cultivation than Austin, he had
spent arge amount of his vital energy during the previous fight with Warren and the ancient evil ape.
He hadn''t gotten any time to replenish his strength as his primary goal was to escape.
What''s more, the ancient evil ape and Warren had already wiped out all the zombies and would soon
catch up to them. Time was quite limited for the Ghost Sect Leader if he wanted to kill Austin.
Austin had analyzed the situation clearly, and he was confident about his strength as well. He believed
that any cultivator at the medium stage of the Imperial Realm wouldn''t be able to kill him instantly, let
alone the Ghost Sect Leader who had just experienced a fierce fight and had low vital energy at that

point.
"One skill is enough to kill you! Check this out! Corpse Diabolic Hand!"
The Ghost Sect Leader shouted as he stretched his right hand out. All of a sudden, his formidable vital
energyplemented by clouds of corpse miasma vibrated the air and gathered on his arm.
Immediately, his arm became eerily ck and emitted a strong wave of power.
"What happened to his arm?" Austin furrowed his eyebrows.
His eyes narrowed in concentration as he observed the Ghost Sect Leader''s arm. He could feel a
strange power emanating from it, which stirred up his uneasiness. Austin recognized that it was a
special type of skill beyond his knowledge.
After a while, Austin felt it was somehow simr to his Kirin Golden-body Scripture, which he had
learned a few days earlier. Both skills could strengthen some parts of the users'' bodies, and it was
evident in the aura of the Ghost Sect Leader.
Zoom!
While Austin was upied scrutinizing the power of the Ghost Sect Leader''s skill, thetter suddenly
dashed towards him at an extremely high speed. His ck arm flew across the sky and left a long trail,
like a ck line on a sheet of paper.
