Chapter 1968 Take Action


    Whoever this guy was, he had guts, butcked brains. The crown prince, after marrying twodies, had


    this guy had jumped on the streets to block the royal carriages'' path.


    Everyone was stunned.


    This guy was clearly a fool.


    All eyes fell on Austin, who was standing in the center of the street.


    "Go to hell!


    Guards. Throw this idiot in prison! The worst kind of prison!"


    It didn''t take long for the protective detail of the royal carriages to react.


    A middle-aged man in a purple robe rushed out of the crowd around the royal carriages. Standing in


    front of the group, he waved his hand and shouted amand.


    Immediately, more than a dozen imperial guards ran towards Austin with shiny spears in their hands.


    "There, that''s him. That is Hardy alright. He sneaked behind me and attacked me, almost managing to


    kill me. It was this man who forced me into this miserable state. I am a half-human and half-ghost only


    because of him!"


    The moment the purple robed man appeared out of the crowd, the me Emperor roared in Austin''s


    Soul Sea.


    "Calm down. He is not going to run anywhere this time."


    Austin assured the me Emperor.


    "You son of a bitch! Be damned and get away from here!"


    At that moment, the royal guards had almost reached Austin and were about to make their move.


    Austin smiled faintly. There was a slight tremor on his lips and instantly, a powerful vital energy force


    was released towards his attackers.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    The guards were thrown into the air and fell down several thousand meters away.


    "How dare you!


    You''re trying to mess with the royal family, you brat! I''ll have your head for this!"


    The purple robed man, who Austin now knew as Hardy, flew into a rage on this sight and rushed


    towards Austin himself.


    As a cultivator at the premium stage of Major-perfection Realm, Hardy was extremely capable and


    could easily take care of several opponents at once.


    However, Austin noticed something interesting: the vital energy force Hardy had was very weak and


    unstable. It was likely that he had forced himself to reach the premium stage of Major-perfection Realm


    by taking some pills or other unnatural means.


    So his strength was not even close enough to Austin''s.


    Even cultivators who were at the Major-perfection Realm and had practiced formidable secret skills


    from the top sects and four major schools of Middle Pilgrim Land had been defeated by Austin. This


    man was a joke in front of them.


    His strength was ridiculously andughably low.


    Bang!


    Hardy released his vital energy force and threw it towards Austin. Though weak, its movement still


    made the air whirl. Sand rushed upwards due to that and flew towards Austin.


    The buildings on the sides of the street also crumbled down due to the intense pressure difference.

    Both sides of the street were immediately transformed into ruins.


    An actual master of the Major-perfection Realm could easily shatter a mountain into pieces. Hardy,


    though forcibly at this stage, was still powerful enough to shatter the buildings.


    "The Border General is really powerful!"


    "The general''s power is amazing! He is indeed the backbone of our empire!" For the people, even this


    much power was astounding. They began praising Hardy.


    "General Hardy is invincible and the perfect man to protect our empire. We''re lucky to have him!"


    "Come on general! Show us your mighty strength. Kill him!"


    The street was soon filled with cheers.


    General Hardy, in control of the military power of the empire, was fully trusted by the emperor to do his


    job. He was overwhelmingly powerful as far as the Cloud Empire was concerned.


    Numerous people wanted to tter him and get on his good side. The opportunity had presented itself


    today, and those brown-nosers weren''t going to miss it. Their praises rang loudly in the streets; at least


    for a while.


    "This guy is a clown!"


    Austin let out a sigh. Although his voice was low, it was clearly heard by everyone around him.


    All of a sudden, cheers died down as everyone was stunned on his remark. A dead silence enveloped


    the whole ce.


    "You bastard! Go to hell!"


    Hardy could no longer hold back. He too had heard the remark and gotten furious. He decided he was


    going to kill Austin right now.


    Bang!


    He stretched out his right hand and it began to glow with a dazzling golden light. The light then began


    to increase in intensity. Very soon, his hand morphed itself into a huge, golden Buddha palm. Some


    chants could also be hearding from the palm.


    The palm grew sorge that it covered half of the street, trying to pat down Austin like a fly.


    Austin simply sneered.


    He didn''t even dodge.


    Instead, he started to prepare his physical strength. Suddenly, his entire body was covered with zing


    illusory mes. And then, Austin punched out.


    His fist and the huge golden Buddha palm collided with each other.


    "Ah!"


    Hardy roared in a ghastly, pained tone. As if struck by lightning, he was thrown backwards and fell


    down directly in front of the red flood dragon horse of the crown prince.


    "Argh!"


    He kept groaning and screeching in pain.


    Astonished, several people rushed forwards to check on him.


    Their eyes fell on the defeated warrior and they gasped in shock and horror.


    The entire right side of Hardy''s body had been crumbled, and his right arm waspletely gone.


    There was a dead silence in the streets once again.


    This guy had crippled a master at the premium stage of Major-perfection Realm with a single punch!


    Everyone in the Cloud Empire was well aware of the fact that the Border General was one of the best


    martial artists in the empire. Mostmon people even considered him a God and worshiped him.


    But now, he had been crippled and broken by a young man.


    At this sight, even the crown prince, and the king and queen themselves were petrified. Who was this


    man and why was he attacking the royal family?


    As for the guards of the royal family, they couldn''t even stand firmly in ce.


    "Who are you? How dare you offend the authority of our royal family?


    Guards! Go! Take him down! Punish him hard for what he has done to us!"


    The crown prince roared.


    Helpless and forced to follow the prince''smands, another group of royal guards cautiously


    proceeded to surround Austin.


    "Fuck off!"


    Austin shouted, and as he concentrated his vital energy, a light golden shadow of its force swept out


    from his body.


    Bang! Bang! Bang


    The second group of royal guards were also thrown into the air.


    After dealing with them, Austin started to move forwards slowly and menacingly.


    "What do you want?


    Guards, what are you doing? The man justmitted a treacherous crime and a tant rebellion.


    Prepare to rot in hell if you don''t do as you''re told!


    Go, all of you! Take him down!"


    The crown prince began to look crazy. He was furious now.


    Behind him, the emperor was looking at this young man silently and angrily.


    He had recognized that the young man who had blocked their path was not just an ordinary human.


    Chances were, he was a powerful cultivator from some othernd.


    "Go and ask the elder of the Arcane Holy Land toe over and help!"


    The emperor whispered to a minister who was standing next to him.


    The minister turned around and secretly left in a hurry.


    "Brat! Stop!"


    Austin was still walking towards the troops of the royal family; very slowly, and very menacingly.


    Dozens of ministers and generals rushed towards Austin, preceded by hundreds of guards.


    "Get out of my way!"


    Austin stretched out his right arm and swept forward with a beam of light as thick as a flood dragon.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    All the ministers, generals and royal soldiers were sent flying into the distance. They fell down, most of


    them dead, and others critically injured, thousands of meters away.


    The sight was shocking and horrifying: one man, taking over an entire royal family.


    Everyone had realized how powerful the young man was and were holding their breath to see what


    happened next!


    Pretty soon, Austin walked over and stopped in front of the crown prince.


    The crown prince was only at the premium stage of Minor-perfection Realm. Also, the foundation of his


    vital energy force seemed superficial. His real fighting ability must have been very weak.


    Austin noticed that and directly dragged the crown prince off his horse, tossing him onto the ground


    mercilessly.


    "Ah!"


    The crown prince shrieked in pain. His bones were almost broken into confetti by the impact.


    "How dare you, brat! Who the hell are you!


    What do you want? Why are you against the royal family?


    You idiot! You should know that the royal family of the Cloud Empire is aligned with the Arcane Holy


    Land.


    You mess with our royal family, you mess with them. Can you really afford the consequences?"


    The emperor roared at Austin when his son was targeted.
