Austin was in a terrible mess. His clothes were disheveled, his hair was sticking out on his head, and he struggled to keep his balance. There were even some faint blood stains on the corners of his mouth.
"Wow! A Heaven Realm cultivator is really someone you shouldn't underestimate!"
Austin smiled.
But the smile on his face soon twisted into a painful look as he gasped for air.
The clouds of dust had already subsided. Everyone on the area looked at Austin with their widened eyes as if they were looking at a monster.
None of them could believe what they just saw. A cultivator like Austin who only reached the medium stage of Astral Realm just survived an attack from a Heaven Realm cultivator.
He was safe and sound. He only had to sustain some minor wounds.
The mere fact that Austin was able to withstand such a powerful strike dumbstruck everyone with amazement.
Even the Tribulation Realm cultivators around the area weren't confident enough to take the vital energy palm thrown by Elder Kerr. They were certain they would have been killed or gravely injured by the forceful palm attack.
At the same time, Elder Kerr exerted all the spiritual sense martial arts skills he had mastered and had finally destroyed the white fire ball inside his Soul Sea.
But the price he had to pay was that a part of his spiritual sense had been burnt up by the fire ball.
He looked at Austin as qualm filled his eyes.
From the lesson he just got, he no longer dared to aim his attacks at Austin without careful consideration.
If Austin exerted the horrible skill once again, he would have to spend strenuous efforts to work everything out. He had no plans of going through all of that again.
Austin was impressed by Elder Kerr as well.
A Heaven Realm cultivator was truly as strong as the legends said.
Whether it would be on the aspect of vital energy, spiritual sense, or cultivation base, a Heaven Realm cultivator would always be much stronger than a Tribulation Realm one.
The Spiritual Sense Incinerating Skill had never failed Austin whenever he uses it to deal with Tribulation Realm cultivators.
It was his first time to use this spiritual sense martial arts skill in a fight against a Heaven Realm cultivator and he wasn't even able to hurt Elder Kerr.
Austin took out an eighth-grade healing elixir and swallowed it as quickly as he could. It wasn't long before the elixir began doing its work inside his body.
In a flash, his minor wounds had been cured without any remaining signs of them at all.
The others thought Austin was extremely luxurious to use such a priceless elixir to heal his minor wounds. But when the others witnessed the magical effects of the healing elixir, greed began to creep on the corner of their eyes.
An eighth-grade healing elixir was a rare treasure for most of the cultivators. They would never take elixirs of such rarity unless they were on the brink of dying.
What Austin just did, taking an eighth-grade elixir just to cure his minor wounds, was a complete waste if you would ask them.
But that also meant that he had plenty of the high level elixirs that he didn't care as much to use them in dealing with his minor injuries.
Once this thought came into their minds, greed started to burn in their eyes as they looked at Austin.
"What an arrogant guy!
He is stranger than I thought! Without any warning, he just came into the Spring City and launched attacks without stating his reasons! How ridiculous!"
"Yeah! You are right! I guess he must be the rumored spy working for the Heaven Palace and the demon race."
"We can't let him get away! We have to work together and catch him as soon as we can! We can then torture him for valuable information. We could ask him who he is working for."
"Yes! Let's work together and catch him immediately!"
They were obviously just making up excuses to fight Austin.
What they really wanted, of course, was getting their hands on his high level elixirs.
The Heaven Palace and the demon race had already surrounded the Spring City for days. During the battle against them, many of the cultivators inside the city had been gravely injured.
Healing elixirs were as rare as water in the desert.
Especially during such a crucial time, a high level healing elixir could save valuable lives.
Austin was an observant man and he immediately sensed what they were planning to do with him.
And he also knew well about the dilemma he was in. There were dozens of Tribulation Realm cultivators and one at the Heaven Realm who he couldn't ignore.
If they worked together in fighting him, Austin knew his chance of winning the battle was very minimal.
The best answer to save him from the current situation was to run away immediately.
He had already made up his mind.
"Let everyone from the Veritable Demon Sect come close to me!
We must all leave as soon as we can,"
Austin told Barker through his spiritual sense.
Barker was confused by Austin's words.
Surrounded by so many strong cultivators, it was quite impossible for them to run away even if they wanted to.
Although he didn't understand why Austin made such a decision under the current circumstances, he trusted Austin and decided to follow his orders.
The fight between Austin and Elder Kerr totally stunned Barker. What he learned from the fight was that Austin was much stronger than him.
Barker soon gave a hint to Dahlia, Faye, and the others from the Veritable Demon Sect. Once they received the message, they all slowly walked towards Austin.
"Barker, don't forget that you are working with us. The Veritable Demon Sect is a member of the Southern Alliances Army.
As the commander of the Southern Alliances Army, I hereby declare that that suspicious guy is a spy working for our enemies! You and the Veritable Demon Sect should join us in capturing him.
If you continue to support that guy, it will also mean as going against the Southern Alliances Army.
You and the Veritable Demon Sect will become wanted fugitives,"
said Elder Kerr. His sharp eyes had noticed that everyone from the Veritable Demon Sect was slowly moving towards Austin.
He thought that the Veritable Demon Sect was about to help Austin and work with him in the upcoming fight.
As soon as Elder Kerr saw what they were doing, he immediately yelled at Barker to warn him.
"Elder Kerr, you are so sly! I know your tricks. You are just trying to frame me to turn the Veritable Demon Sect into everyone's target.
As the commander of the Southern Alliances Army, you are a lot of things but just and fair.
During the battle against the Heaven Palace and the demon race, you only sent other sects to the frontlines.
The Sky Sect, however, always came late. They only arrived when the fights were about to end.
Look right here! Look at them! Every sect in here has suffered a lot in this battle. We have lost lots of our men and now most of us are injured badly.
But how about the Sky Sect? Huh? How many men have you lost?
