Chapter 1474 Fight And Win


    The battle was on. Austin appeared in the No. 140 battle ring.


    He had barelynded on the ground when a ck light zoomed towards the battle ring.


    The light was a young man in ck. He showed up and stood opposite Austin.


    Judging the ferocious expression in this man''s eyes, Austin already knew he didn''te to y nice.


    What was worse, he had reached the premium stage of Semi-holy Realm.


    The young man in ck studied Austin from head to foot, his yful yet defiant eyes squinting, and his


    lips making a smug smirk.


    "Austin Lin, right?


    I don''t understand how a loser like you would cross Ladd. Ha, you even murdered Rogan!


    Nothing personal, though. I''m just here for business. Ladd wants me to extract you out of the ring and


    finish you. In return, I got to take home a handsome reward." He even made the "money sign" as he


    said thest sentence, rubbing his thumb with his index and middle fingers.


    "In short, you''ve met your doom."


    The young man in ck circled Austin as he continued his intimidating remarks.


    "To be honest, I feel bad about taking a life in public, especially when the representatives from top


    sects in the East Maind and the three holynds are watching. They might not like me anymore


    when they see you die in utter suffering and embarrassment.


    So, I''m going to give you a chance. Do it yourself, take your own life.


    That way, you can do it quickly. If you refuse my kindness, you''ll die a slow and painful death... in my


    hands!"


    the young man in ck scoffed, tapping his hand against the other behind his back.


    He was so convinced that he could beat Austin effortlessly and quickly, since he was at the premium


    stage of Semi-holy Realm, while thetter was only at the preliminary stage of Semi-holy Realm.


    Austin looked at the young man in ck''s overbearing speech with a poker face, signifying his calm


    and the storm he could bring thereafter. When the young man was done, however, Austin let out a


    sneer. "Are you done with your bullshit? If yes, then why don''t you make a move now and do what you


    im you could do to me?"


    He had pushed this young man in ck''s buttons for thetter''s face darkened as he heard his dare.


    "What a shameless idiot, refusing my offer!


    Say your prayers now.


    I''ll make you suffer so much, you''re going to beg me to just finish you off quickly."


    The young man in ck yawned in an apparent disy of boredom and mockery over Austin''s


    unwarranted verbosity.


    The young man in ck released a red vital energy, causing the dirt to dance in the air.


    When he stretched out his right hand, a red de materialized on it.


    It was a low-grade primeval magic treasure, just like Austin''s Ancient Dragon Sword.


    Bolts of de radiance pervaded the entire battle ring, demonstrating the young man in ck''s


    mastery of the level 3 de domain.


    Then, the blood-red de transformed into a blood-red cloud with red mist. From there, streaks of


    blood-red de radiance emerged.


    Luckily the battle ring was protected by defense arrays, otherwise the streaks of blood-red radiance


    would destroy the ring.


    This ring crimson force wasing towards Austin.


    Faced with the forting blow, Austin remainedposed


    and released the level 5 sword domain.


    Suddenly, a seemingly boundless and powerful sword aura enclosed him.


    "This can''t be!" the young man in ck muffled. His eyes couldn''t believe what they had just seen.


    "That''s level 5 sword domain! Impossible!"


    He knew he must think on his feet because such a strong sword aura could tear him into a million


    pieces anytime now. The young man in ck discreetly distanced himself from Austin.


    ''Austin Lin isn''t an easy opponent as I thought.


    With his level 5 sword domain mastery going against my level 3 de domain, ugh, he has the upper


    hand now, '' the young man in ck realized.


    Austin was just getting started in unleashing hisplete force. The sword aura encircling him formed


    a white dragon, which, in a sh, pounced at the blood-red de aura!


    The de aura ended uppletely shattered.


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you poor thing. What kind of a loser are you, huh? Receiving Ladd''s ''reward'' and trying to


    kill me?


    To be honest, I had no problem with you.


    But you tried to take my life. So in exchange, I''ll give you the ugliest end you deserve right inside this


    battle ring," Austin dered in a mocking tone imitating the young man in ck''s earlier threats.


    "On second thought," Austin continued. "We can make this easier, right? Take your life. Now.


    Give yourself a less painful death. Not doing that means you''re refusing my kindness and you''re giving


    me permission to tear you into pieces."


    As Austinid down his conditions, he never removed his cold gaze from his opponent.


    ''You dare insult me?


    I return the favor in triples, '' Austin thought, enraged inside as he was outside.


    "You son of a bitch!" the young man in ck cursed, his face twisting in fury.


    ''This is going to be a tough fight, but I must get my job done, '' he said to himself.


    "Shut up! Stop bragging, you idiot!


    Your level 5 sword domain is still no match for me. My cultivation base is higher than yours! Stop


    dreaming the impossible. You''ll only end up disappointing yourself,"


    the young man in ck huffed.


    "Really? I''ll show you nothing is impossible," Austin quipped, a huge wave of confidence prating


    his veins.


    He unleashed the Dominant Spiritual Sense Swordsmanship, after which a misty sword aura


    materialized.


    It moved so fast that cultivators had trouble spotting it even with the aid of their spiritual sense.


    "Swoosh!"


    The sword aura had hit the young man in ck even before he could figure out what Austin had just


    released.


    "What the hell?"


    The young man gawked at Austin with an expression that was far from his arrogant stance minutes


    before.


    He was cut in half, clean and quick, and his two halves thumped on the floor. His eyes were still wide


    open.


    Mouths of spectators who were watching the fight fell open at the turn of events.


    That a Semi-holy Realm cultivator of the preliminary stage took down one at the premium stage of


    Semi-holy Realm was something they never expected to happen.


    "Damn it!"


    Ladd was enraged. His face turned sour and his jaws trembled as he stared at the battle ring.


    The opposite could be seen in a young man in purple, who had a wicked smile as he watched Austin


    win the battle.


    "That Austin is something. I think I just might have a good time," he said.

    He was, it turned out, sitting beside Ladd and talking to him.


    "Are you sure my next opponent is Austin?"


    the young man in purple asked, turning to Ladd.


    "Yes. Everything has been set with Peyton. Now that Austin survived this, you''re up next,"


    Ladd replied nonchntly, his eyes still fixed on the ring.


    "That''s music to my ears! Don''t worry buddy," the young man in purple said, patting Ladd''s shoulder.


    "That boy will die in my hands."
