Chapter 926 Encountering His Enemy


    After killing the middle-aged man, Austinunched his bodily movement skill and continued to run


    through the Heavy Gas area.


    The area covered a distance of about ten thousand meters, and Austin had already crossed more than


    three thousand meters.


    He still had about two-thirds of the way to go!


    Austin soon realized that the deeper he got to the area of the Heavy Gas, the thicker the Heavy Gas


    became, and the more it exerted pressure on the passers-by.


    As a result, Austin''s speed reduced as the almost impassable gas and pressure pinned on his body.


    Fortunately, his great physical strength and fitness did not render him immobile. In fact, he seemed


    unaffected severely, and although his speed had slowed down a bit, he could still move fast.


    Soon he had covered five kilometers, then six kilometers...


    He rushed with long strides and high speed, getting deeper and deeper into the Heavy Gas area.


    When Austin passed those who had started before him and were moving at a much slower pace like


    turtles, the cultivators were mesmerized at his speed and couldn''t help but stop and stare at his back.


    "Look, someone can run in this ce!" someone shouted, his voiceced with shock.


    "What a weirdo!"


    "That guy seems to be Austin," another man uttered as he recognized the young man.


    "Indeed, he does look like Austin."


    The men who recognized Austin were cultivators from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.


    They were so engrossed that they could only manage to mutter a few words to express their internal


    shock. Eventually, once they recovered from the utter surprise, they continued and concentrated on


    their own way.


    No one tried to interfere with Austin anymore.


    The Heavy Gas was growing thick and making things unbearable.


    With no energy to spare, the cultivators had to focus and devote all their energy in dealing with the


    pressure.


    Gradually, Austin found that the number of cultivators ahead was dwindling.


    When he first entered the area, he could see thousands of them at a nce.


    After six or seven kilometers, he could see only a few hundred left.


    The people who could get there quickly had high cultivation base and powerful strength.


    Most of them were at the Astral Realm while some were at the Master Realm.


    Moreover, Austin saw that in thest two or three kilometers, many of them pulled out kinds of magic


    treasures to resist the pressure of the Heavy Gas.


    After all, the Heavy Gas in that ce and area ahead was so strong that it was a little frightening and


    hard to handle with the human body and vital energy force alone.


    Only those who were extraordinarily strong could move forward without magic treasures.


    Ordinary cultivators—and even those at the Astral Realm—chose to rely on their magic treasures to


    fend against the dominant pressure.


    Most of those magic treasures were divine weapons, including low grade, medium grade, and top


    grade ones.


    Moreover, Austin even noticed that some of the cultivators with unusual backgrounds used holy


    weapons to resist the Heavy Gas.


    Holy weapons were of a higher level than divine weapons.


    Their power was undeniably horrifying, far higher than that of divine weapons.


    The greater resistance of the holy weapons against the Heavy Gas allowed their users to advance


    quickly. They trotted along, seemingly unaffected by the immense pressure exerting on their body.


    Austin, who had never been exposed to such a high-grade magic treasure, looked at them with his


    eyes gleaming with envy.


    "Wow, when am I going to have a holy weapon?" he murmured admiringly.


    ...


    Finally, Austin just had onest kilometer left to get through the entire Heavy Gas!


    Of course, the Heavy Gas in thatst section was the strongest and densest in the whole Heavy Gas


    region.


    It was already visible to the naked eye as its wisps of earthy yellow color scattered everywhere, floating


    and moving in the air.


    As soon as cultivators passed by, those dense masses of Heavy Gas rushed towards them, squeezing


    their bodies.


    Even Austin had to slow down as he reached the area.


    He halted sprinting and instead trotted forward.


    He also witnessed a dozen weak cultivators at the Master Realm being crushed by the earthy yellow


    Heavy Gas.


    "Oh, no, help!


    I don''t want to die here! I managed to walk all the way here. Help!" cried a cultivator at the preliminary


    stage of Master Realm.


    He exalted grace in his magnificent silver armor, which was a medium-grade divine weapon.


    However, even with that weapon, coupled with his cultivation base, he totally failed to withstand the


    crushing force of the Heavy Gas. Secondster, he was squished to death on the spot.


    "Damn, I can''t stand it. Oh, help! Heroes, if anyonees to save me, I would serve and please him


    forever!"


    A woman at the medium stage of Master Realm, unable to withstand the pressure of the Heavy Gas,


    cried for help.


    Unfortunately, she was about thirty years old, pockmarked, and rather stout. She was not exactly the


    type of woman that men would like.


    Finally, she too was crushed by the terrible Heavy Gas.


    "My god, buddy, help!"


    "Oh, no, damn it! I''m the best of our sect''s inner disciples. I don''t want to die here!"


    More than a dozen people in a row had been crushed, which made the rest feel more stressed.


    Passing those people, Austin used his spiritual sense and found that he would have passed through


    the Heavy Gas within a few hundred meters.


    He was a little expectant, wondering if he could find some precious treasures after crossing the area.


    "Eh?


    It''s him."


    Austin''s face suddenly darkened as his eyes fell on a man in front of him.


    It was a young man dressed in a green robe, with a pale face.


    The young man, who looked haughty, was the Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect!


    He was sitting on the shoulders of two ape puppets, which were both walking close together, side by


    side.


    The Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect sat leisurely between their shoulders.


    He was not crushed by the force of the Heavy Gas because the two puppets borne the burden for him.


    Therefore, he advanced effortlessly in the Heavy Gas with great ease.


    "Humph, he really enjoys himself."


    Austin looked at him and shed a faint smile.


    At the same time, he also slowed down.


    ''The Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect has been involved many times in the pursuit of me. Shall I


    take the chance to give him a piece of my mind?''


    Austin stared at his enemy, hesitating, and almost paused.


    "Austin, it''s you!"


    The Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect suddenly noticed Austin, and his eyes burst with ecstasy.


    "Ha-ha, Austin, good, good. Fancy meeting you here!

    Great! How lucky I am!"


    The Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect burst intoughter.


    He red at Austin with greedy eyes.


    Whistle! Whistle! Whistle!


    Seven puppets, one after another, shot out of the sleeve of the Holy Son, falling around Austin and


    surrounding him.


    Five of the seven puppets were at the premium stage of Master Realm.


    The remaining two were at the preliminary stage of Astral Realm!


    Austin remembered thest time he fought with the Holy Son of the Ghost Puppet Sect.


    At that time, the puppets he released were all just at the Master Realm.


    Surprisingly, he was now able to control puppets at the preliminary stage of Astral Realm.
