Chapter 1674 Challenging Howard Again


    Austin ced the Invincible Bow aside.


    Then, he transported Valerie into his City model.


    He didn''t want her to get involved in this. Valerie was just a disciple from a fifth-ss sect. If she


    offended the people of the Vasteras Holy Land, her sect would be destroyed by the Vasteras Holy


    Land.


    This was between him and the disciples of the Vasteras Holy Land.


    He removed the human skin mask and showed his true face and made his way to the ce where the


    disciples of the Vasteras Holy Land were.


    A couple of secondster, he saw dozens of disciples of the Vasteras Holy Land hunting down the


    diabolic beasts in a vast forest in front of him.


    He saw Howard was there too.


    Austin unleashed his spiritual sense to perceive Howard''s strength.


    "Hmm. He is at the medium stage of Bitter Sea Realm now," Austin murmured.


    Back then when he challenged Howard to a duel in the Smnia Kingdom, thetter had just reached


    the premium stage of Emperor Realm.


    To his surprise, Howard had broken into the medium stage of Bitter Sea Realm in just about four years.


    He had thought that if Howard knew his real cultivation base, he might freak out and run away from


    him.


    To address this concern, Austin hid his true cultivation base and feigned to be at the premium stage of


    Emperor Realm.


    "Howard of the Vasteras Holy Land, get your ass over here.


    It''s me, Austin!"


    Standing in front of the forest, he activated the Roaring st.


    Sound waves rolled forward towards where the disciples of the Vasteras Holy Land were.


    They were currently ruining numerous tall trees which were getting in their way.


    ''Austin Lin!'' the people in the forest thought in astonishment.


    Dead silence seeded the sound waves.


    They couldn''t utter a word as they heard Austin''s name and his voice.


    Three years ago, Austin was the focus of the entire East Maind.


    All cultivators in the East Maind searched for him, but he was nowhere to be found.


    Momentster, the people of the Vasteras Holy Land finally recovered from the shock.


    Swoosh! Swoosh!


    Dozens of figures dashed out of the forest.


    They were from the Vasteras Holy Land.


    All of them had their eyes fixated on Austin.


    "It''s you, Austin Lin," Howard said, recognition eminent from his voice.


    Austin smiled as the sight of Howard looking at him straight in the eyes.


    "Yeah, it''s me.


    I''m Austin Lin of the me Holy Land."


    He stressed that he was from the me Holy Land.


    Howardughed wildly. "What a surprise. You were lucky to have survived that," he said, remembering


    what they had done the past. "And you''re here, daring to look for us. Looks like you can''t wait to get


    yourself killed,"


    Howard continued with a smirk.


    "Surround him! We can''t let him get away this time."


    "If we can take him prisoner, we will be rewarded handsomely!"


    "Be careful. His cultivation base may be low; it is said he robbed Marcus of his fake ultimate magical


    treasure. That magic treasure is incredibly powerful."


    The other disciples of the Vasteras Holy Land surrounded Austin immediately, ready for offense.


    Austin crossed his arms over his chest, and drew a defiant sneer. He looked at ease even though he


    was surrounded by his enemies.


    Upon seeing that Austin acted in a calm manner, Howard got flurried slightly. He unleashed his spiritual


    sense to sense his cultivation base. His mind was set ease as he found out that Austin was just at the


    premium stage of Emperor Realm.


    "Austin, you''re really a fearless stupid guy. What were you thinking about when you decided toe


    after us?" he said with confidence. "Oh, wait. Never mind. You''re doomed, anyway."


    The events that Austin stirred up big trouble and murdered Marcus in the Purple Moon Mansion three


    years ago spread widely in the East Maind.


    Because of hearing the news back then, disciples of the Vasteras Holy Land present were scared of


    Austin.


    After all, Marcus had reached the preliminary stage of Divine Bridge Realm when he died at the hands


    of Austin. It was no joke to fight with someone of that level.


    But when they perceived that Austin was only at the premium stage of Emperor Realm, they were


    relieved and even dropped their defenses.


    After all, they were all at the Bitter Sea Realm.


    They didn''t think that Austin could pose a threat to them. Of course, Austin was good at hiding his true


    cultivation base. He made sure that the disciples of the Vasteras Holy Land would see him as a


    weakling. He sessfully fooled his enemies.


    "What? When did I say that I would flee?


    Do you think I am scared of you? You''re giving yourself too much credit, you suckers," Austin said in an


    impassive tone. He then looked at Howard and called him.


    "I bet you remember that we agreed to have a duel, don''t you?"


    He smirked.


    "Of course, I do,"


    Howard replied with a gloomy expression.


    "That''s great.


    I''m here for that.


    But I''m not going to challenge you alone."


    He nced at his surroundings full of disciples from the Vasteras Holy Land.


    "I will challenge you and yourpanions here on behalf of our me Holy Land." He pointed at


    everyone around, making sure that they could see the me in his eyes.


    "It would be better if you attack me together. It will save me time. I''m going to kick your asses and show


    others that the disciples of the Vasteras Holy Land are just a group of losers,"


    Austin dered in a bossy tone.


    "How dare you! You''re just a survivor from the shitty me Holy Land. How dare you brag like this?"


    one of Howard''spanions huffed.


    Austin''s insult infuriated the disciples.


    "Stop bluffing here. All you got is Marcus''s fake ultimate magical treasure,"


    Howard snapped.


    "Do you think you can beat us all with that magic treasure alone? You''re too naive."


    Austinughed out loud.


    "Rest assured.


    I am not going to use any magic treasures.


    It''s easy to crush you without them,"


    he stated with full confidence.


    "You''re way too cocky, Austin.


    If you don''t use that magic treasure you stole from Marcus, I can end you in a heartbeat,"


    Howard bellowed, showing intense anger.


    "I''m right here," Austin said with mock in his tone.


    "I''m waiting for you to take my life if you can. No magic treasures, you have my word,"


    he added and folded his arms.


    On the other hand, many other cultivators nearby reached the location where Austin, Howard and the


    other Vasteras Holy Land disciples stood as they spotted what was going on there.


    They were all looking for the guy who was stirring all these conversation. And there he was, at the


    center of the Vasteras Holynd disciples.


    "Is it Austin Lin? The guy that all the cultivators in our East Maind was looking for?" someone


    eximed.


    "Yeah, it''s him. I saw his portrait! He looks exactly just like that!"


    They were all in shock to see him in flesh. No one had seen him since the base of the me Holy Land


    was destroyed three years ago.


    Some rumors said that he died in that battle, and some said that he ran away to live in peace without


    any inhibitions.


    "I can''t believe that he is right in front of me," another said.


    People were right about Austin. He was still as bold as before, and he even provoked the disciples of


    Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    the Vasteras Holy Land without anypanion to help him.


    Would he die? Would he kill the disciples? No one knew. They were in for a surprise.


    The neers'' responses were understandable. After all, Austin rose to fame overnight three years


    ago.


    His portraits were hanging everywhere in the East Maind.


    Even women and children knew him, tell stories about him.


    "I heard that Austin acquired the most precious treasures from Purple Immortal''s tomb. If I can catch


    him, those treasures will be mine."


    Aside from awe and admiration, some of them had their eyes on Austin''s treasures. They stared at him


    with greed in their eyes.


    Howard''s good mood was flushed down the drain as he saw Austin and experienced his cocky attitude.


    Austin''s statements were getting on his nerves already.


    "No magic treasures," Howard murmured with distaste. "You''d better not back out."


    He couldn''t control his anger anymore. As soon as he finished his sentence, he advanced towards


    Austin.


    "You''re a dead man!" Howard bellowed.


    He stretched out his hands, and an overwhelming vital energy emerged from them. People surrounding


    them were all amazed at what they were seeing.


    In the next second, a mountain which was a hundred meters tall materialized in front of him.


    The mountain released the tremendous vital energy force.


    "It''s Huge Mountain Seal! I never saw him use it before.


    Howard mastered this skill before; this is the first time he has done this in public!"


    "Huge Mountain Seal is one of the most profound, powerful martial skills in our Vasteras Holy Land.


    Few could master it. Howard is really a genius."


    The other disciples of the Vasteras Holy Land exhibited great surprise as they saw Howard disy the


    Huge Mountain Seal. As they nced at Austin who was just standing at the middle, they all had one


    thing in their heads. ''Austin will die today.''
