The young man's cultivation base was only at level six of the Energy Gathering Realm, but his bodily movement skill was quite excellent. And this was the reason why he was first to catch up with Austin.
However, Austin's Spiritual Sense Flying Needle managed to disturb the young man's spiritual souls and enabled Austin to cut off his opponent's arms.
He screamed in agony, like a pig about to be butchered.
The screams jolted everyone who heard this.
But it was Austin who continued to amaze spectators because even after battling against four evil wolves for more than an hour, he was still terrifying in combat.
"Stop attacking him from all directions! We need to gather together to deal with him," Billy shouted at his men.
Gritting his teeth, Billy tried to control his outrage.
After barking his instructions, two outer disciples who ran ahead of them stopped in their tracks to wait for the others to catch up.
Meanwhile, Austin frowned as he thought of Billy's team. 'If a dozen outer disciples choose to gang up against me, it will definitely be difficult to handle them. After all, I only have two hands.'
Boldly, he turned to them and shouted," You're a bunch of cowards!"
Then quickly, he rushed into the woods nearby.
By that time, Austin already had a basic understanding of the Using the Wind method. Swiftly, he ran like a wandering ghost using the Wind-commanding Skill and in moments was out of sight.
"After him!" Billy screamed.
He was quite surprised by Austin's astounding speed and his excellent bodily movement skill. Billy then saw the frightened outer disciples surrounding him, and his anger escalated.
As soon as Austin entered the wooded area, he kept changing his forward direction like a shadow with the Wind-commanding Skill. Finally, he vanished without a trace.
After searching the forest for a long time, Billy and his companions still found no trace of Austin.
Unknown to them, Marvin also followed Billy into the woods.
When Marvin met up with Billy's group, he was furious after learning they'd lost Austin, and that there was no trace of him. "I had great expectations for you, but look at the result! It's exasperating!" Marvin bellowed.
"What are you waiting for? Go! Keep on searching for Austin!" he barked at Billy and his men.
Angrily, he looked at the other outer masters, who scrambled to obey him.
Then stepping out from behind an enormous tree, Marvin started running towards the woods, as the other young men struggled to keep up with him.
Meanwhile, five members of the Blood Wolf Team stood at a hillside far from where Marvin and Billy's team had converged. They caught sight of Austin and were also amazed by his bodily movement skill.
"I never thought that boy could master such great skill. He moves quite nimbly.
Let's go and catch up with him.
It won't be easy to find him in the vast Grand Desolation Mountain once he finds a perfect place to disappear."
As he said this, Matthew frowned slightly.
At his command, his team ran towards the woods like flying ghosts.
Deep in the forest is a towering tree with an extremely thick trunk. Austin hid between its dense branches and held his breath as long as he could. The young disciple believed that by keeping utterly still, he would blend in with the enormous tree, which provided a perfect camouflage.
The tree, which seemed to be the highest in the woods, reached a height of over a hundred meters.
Like any good warrior, Austin had a good reason to use the tree as a temporary hiding place. He wanted to know how many people were after him so he could figure out his odds.
Only when you know your enemy can you win the battle is his motto.
As a man with great spiritual souls, Austin had a strong hunch that aside from Billy and his followers, there were others watching him from a dark corner of the forest.
One thing was clear: if he failed to figure out who else was hunting for him, escape would be more dangerous.
