"Now what? Do you want to have a taste of my new skill too?"
Austin asked, flashing a faint smile at Baldwin and the other demon semi-emperor.
Taking out a demon semi-emperor with just a single move made Austin more confident.
He wasn't scared of Baldwin and the demon of the Semi-emperor Realm at all. If more, he had become more composed facing his enemies.
With his hands behind his back, Austin stared at them with a smile on his face.
At present, he didn't even see them as a threat, even though they were at the Semi-emperor Realm.
"What was that, Austin?"
Baldwin asked, looking quite thrilled at what the young man said.
The sword skill Austin had displayed impressed him.
Baldwin was a keen swordsman who had spent his whole life learning the swordplay, but he had never seen anyone employ a swordsmanship skill as extraordinary as Austin did.
Because of this, Baldwin felt envious of the young man. Suddenly, a dash of greed reflected in the former's eyes.
'If I learn this sword skill, I'll be stronger, ' he thought.
"That's none of your business," Austin responded coldly with a repulsive look on his face.
He knew what Baldwin was up to, judging by the latter's eyes. Austin had seen a lot of the same eyes that posed avarice.
Just like those men, Austin knew very well that Baldwin was another despicable man hiding behind his flashy clothes.
'Although Baldwin is a well-respected elder, he is actually a vengeful, greedy, and utmost cruel guy, ' Austin remarked in disdain.
"Austin, are you sure you want to be my enemy?
I'll give you one last chance.
As long as you give me the Magic Sea Water and that sword skill technique, I'll let go of all the animosity between us.
Besides, I'll compensate you a multitude of cultivation resources like divine vital energy crystals, herbs, pills, and magic treasures.
You can name the price.
You will be shocked to know how many treasures I have accumulated in the past few hundred years.
Once you hand me those two, most of my treasures will be yours.
More than that, I'll teach you everything I have learned. You will be my apprentice and my rightful heir.
By that time, you will be able to do whatever you want.
What do you say, Austin? There is no need to remain hostile anymore.
This is a win-win for both of us,"
Baldwin offered, intently staring at Austin with his piercing, greedy eyes.
He was convinced that Austin would not turn down his offer as long as he was in his right mind.
"What did you say?
Do you want to join hands with me?"
Amused by his statement, Austin burst into laughter––a loud one that almost mocked Baldwin to the core.
"Don't flatter yourself,"
Austin went on, taking a defiant look at Baldwin.
"Austin... you!
You're really good! You will regret this soon," Baldwin hollered.
He was obviously not happy with Austin's response. 'The young man is stubborn and hard to fool, ' Baldwin thought.
"I know Austin is your enemy. I want to tear him to bits.
Let's join hands and end his life together,"
Baldwin suggested, turning to the demon semi-emperor covered in silver scales.
"What?"
The demon furrowed his brows as he turned his gaze at Baldwin, evidently confused as to what the latter remarked.
But after a while, he seemed to come back to his senses.
"Okay," he replied without hesitation.
The demon had seen Austin slay his companion with one just a single blow.
Because it was astounding how strong the young man was, the demon feared Austin.
He had no reason to refuse Baldwin's suggestion because it sounded beneficial to him too.
"Move!" Baldwin's voice suddenly thundered.
What followed immediately were streaks of shining sword aura gushing out from his body as if he had turned into the finest sword.
