Chapter 971 Annihte Malick
Upon hearing them, Austin realized that the others assumed that like them, he too, had been trapped in
this ce.
He couldn''t helpughing.
"Guys, I''m going to be honest with you.
I own this ce now," Austin said straightforwardly.
He thought there was no need to keep this secret from the cultivators.
After all, they were no longer a match for him.
Since they were unequal to him in terms of power and strength, Austin had no reason to worry.
"Excuse me?"
"What did you say?
This city is yours?"
"I''m confused. How can this city be yours?"
Austin''s announcement left them shocked and baffled.
A couple of minutester, the cultivators got over the shock.
"Austin, you must be kidding us.
How can you own this city?"
Tyson asked skeptically.
The other cultivators started at Austin as they waited for his response.
"I''m serious.
I decide whether or not you leave here.
So, what I should do about you?" Austin responded.
The indifferent tone in his voice surprised the others.
"Come on, Austin, do you think you can fool me?
For me, you''re as weak as an ant. How dare you try to show off in front of me?
All right. I''ll battle you to show you the difference between your strength and mine," Malick retorted
disdainfully.
Since Austin had concealed his true vital energy, Malick was under the impression that Austin was still
at the medium stage of Sky Realm.
''Even though his spiritual sense is stronger than mine, I can defeat him. After all, my cultivation base is
two realms higher than his, '' Malick mused.
"Then why don''t you challenge me?"
Austin prompted casually as if he hadn''t heard Malick''s warning.
"Stop bluffing, you brat," Malick hissed.
Austin''s attitude annoyed him more.
As Malick stretched out his hand, a long saber materialized.
In the next instant, he emitted a strong de intent and directed it at Austin.
"Go to hell!" Malick shouted.
Then, he swung his saber at Austin.
The other cultivators shivered when they saw the de light.
It appeared as though Malick intended to kill thed in one attack.
"You''re from the Sky Sect, and you hate my guts. I can''t let you live," Austin murmured.
Determination flickered in Austin''s eyes, and in the next second, a sword light glimmered, and the
Lightning Sword appeared in his right hand.
Austin swung his sword at Malick.
A sword aura containing thunderbolt power, which was 25 times faster than sound, charged at its
target.
It shattered the de light emitted by Malick in a sh.
Then, the sword light headed for Malick. Thunder echoed, and lightning shed as the light hit its
target.
"You..."
Astonishment was written all over Malick''s face. He red at Austin as if he had seen a ghost.
He was bewildered yet terrified by Austin''s power. Besides, he didn''t want to lose like this.
A secondter, "Crack! Crack!"
Cracking sounds echoed as the light cut Malick in half.
Blood pooled on the ground as the two halves of Malick''s body fell to the ground.

''How can this be possible?''
Everyone including Tyson, Gordon, and Jake were paralyzed with shock by the scene.
''Austin had cut a Master Realm cultivator, who practiced de skill, in half. What''s more, he killed
Malick in one blow.
And Malick had no time to defend himself from Austin''s attack.''
After a few minutes, a voice broke the silence.
"Au... Austin. You are at the premium stage of Master Realm now!"
Tyson said, surprised.
The other cultivators also stared at Austin, their eyes filled with amazement.
Thest time they met Austin, he was at the medium stage of Sky Realm.
It was about six months from thest time they saw Austin.
But Austin had reached the premium stage of Master Realm.
No wonder they found it hard to believe that Austin could have progressed so quickly in such a short
span.
"Who else wants to challenge me?" Austin asked, ncing at the other cultivators.
He lookedposed as if nothing had happened.
He had wiped out many Astral Realm masters during these days.
ording to his current battle power, he could annihte dozens of Master Realm cultivators at the
preliminary stage, in moments.
"Austin, I didn''t think you could enter the premium stage of Master Realm in such a short time.
You''re a genius!" Tyson praised.
He treated Austin respectfully after learning of Austin''s real strength.
Gordon and Jake were also afraid of Austin.
They were aware that it would be quite easy for him to kill them.
The cultivators at the premium stage of Imperial Realm stared at Austin with terror-struck eyes.
"Austin, what did you mean when you said that the city belongs to you?
Do you expect us to stay here and take orders from you?"
Jake asked, gingerly.
"Austin, you''re the best cultivator here.
Besides, you killed that old crooked man.
From now on, I pledge allegiance to you and swear to follow your orders,"
Tyson said decidedly after a moment''s hesitation.
''Austin is stronger than us. No doubt he has total authority in this ce, '' he thought.
"I''ll serve you too, Austin," Gordon followed.
Gordon trusted Tyson enough to follow his example and swear loyalty to Austin. Gordon''s expression
reflected his sincerity.
"Me too. Master Austin, you''re the new master of this ce,"
Jake eventually said.
"Yes, Master Austin. You are our new leader!" the City Guardians said in chorus after exchanging brief
nces with one another.
About twenty City Guardians were at the premium stage of Imperial Realm.
After hearing what Tyson, Gordon, and Jake had said, the City Guardians made their choice as well.
Although several cultivators and City Guardians gave their allegiance to Austin, about ten cultivators,
including the leaders of the Flying Fish Sect, the Evergreen Sect, the Iron Palm Sect and their
disciples, who were at the premium stage of Imperial Realm, remained silent.
They continued to stare at Austin silently, hesitation reflecting in their eyes.
Keller, Teddy, and Nick, the three leaders, were arrogant. After all, they were the sect leaders.
They were reluctant to serve Austin.
"What about you?"
Austin asked as he turned to the three sect leaders.
"Austin, we''ll live in peace with you here. We promise not to bother you.
What do you say?"
Teddy proposed.
"No way. I am in charge of this ce,"
Austin refused, shaking his head.
''The cultivators from the Flying Fish Sect, Evergreen Sect, and Iron Palm Sect ended up here because
they followed me, just as Malick had done.
They don''t have good intentions. Certainly not toward me.
I won''t show them any mercy if they refuse to serve me, '' he thought.
"All right.
Since you''re unwilling to follow me, I''ll kill all of you," he said coldly.
Austin lifted his Lightning Sword slowly.
At the sight, the three sect leaders and their followers were shocked. They took a step back.
"Wait. We''re willing to follow you," the three sect leaders blurted out.
They knew that they wouldn''t be able to withstand Austin''s attack.
So they yielded.
"So all of you will work for me from now on?" Austin asked.
At the same time, he stared at each of the cultivators.
"Yes, Master Austin," the rest said.
They all felt jittery and frightened as Austin studied their expressions.
The cultivators fell to their knees to show Austin that they were sincere.
As Austin looked at the kneeling cultivators, a thought dawned on him.
''Perhaps I should recruit more people.
This way, I''ll have more men at my disposal.''
