The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 139

Austin rushed to the northeast part of the array with Fanny.

A few minutes later, Fanny warned Austin, "Slow down, we are at the boundary point of the array now. One more step forward and we will be under attack."

Fanny's warning made Austin stop him in his tracks.

Sensing his surroundings through his superior spiritual abilities, Austin became aware of some differences. Something was certainly odd around them.

So Austin began to survey his environment. There were some stones and trees out in the front, nothing out of the ordinary that looked suspicious.

"Look there, there is something waving and twisting. That is the form of the array's energy."

Austin looked to where Fanny pointed. As Fanny had said, right in front of them, towards the left hand corner, something was contorted as waves came out of it. 'Thank god for Fanny, or else I wouldn't have noticed this in the slightest, ' thought Austin, 'Arrays were awe-inspiring just to look at.'

"How should we break through it?"

Austin straight away asked the most direct question possible. He didn't want to waste the limited time they had.

"Look at that row of trees, surrounded by the thorn bush. There are six trees in the center of the grassy patch, but none of them are real. Actually, they are the base of the array.

Once we successfully cut down these trees, we could break through the array."

Austin didn't tarry and he summoned his Twin Shadow Blades to strike the six trees down in a trice. As their trunks were just as thick as a large bowl in width, this shouldn't take too long.

But before the Twin Shadow Blades could hit the trees, something in the array got disturbed.

All at once, the sky was as dark as the night. Overcast with innumerable clouds, it was as if a black blanket had been thrown over them.

As Austin and Fanny glanced at the mysterious twisted contortion, thick black fog clouded their eyes and in fact, the whole area. Though none could see, but balls that burst into smog were tossed high into air.

It was as if a land of haze had appeared mysteriously that was getting faintly lit up. The light's source was illusory souls with red eyes who poured in from the skies and land and screeched sadly and shrilly, giving goosebumps to anyone who could hear.

The souls cried in a low droning voice and lunged at the Twin Shadow Blades to stop it in its flight path and prevent the falling of the six important trees.

These souls were the Soul Collection Array's most important part of the attack.

Since the souls were illusory, when the Twin Shadow Blades hit them, it hit nothing but air. That's to say, the Twin Shadow Blades could do no harm to the souls.

But these souls with their sad, cruel, relentless and hostile energy made everyone low-spirited unable to do anything. In fact, everyone's energy began to convert into dark power which then twined around the Twin Shadow Blades to stop it from moving forward.

Seeing his plan fumble, Austin knitted his eyebrows.

A thought crossed his mind, and in a jiffy, Austin jumped forward to gather power in his hands.

"Get out of here!"

His voice was as loud as the thunder in the sky. He threw a punch that made all the dust and stones around him come together whirling and stirring up a storm. Mighty forces flooded out from Austin's body and began to attack those souls with a fierce energy.

The storm whistled and howled, echoing Austin's fury. Suddenly, Austin drew his fist in the air and immediately all souls got blown away. The black fog dissipated, and in a second, the sky was clear again.

Austin seized this window of brief triumph and started to control the Twin Shadow Blades with his thoughts. Now the Twin Shadow Blades charged at the six trees as a red dagger and a black dagger made circles in their motion, cutting the trees to bits. All six trees shook ceaselessly as a branch here a trunk there marred their natural balance.

The enemy's rebuttal was to come anytime now. Austin's storm might have blown all the souls away for the mean time but no harm came to them. The souls were not of flesh and blood, so neither swords nor fists could bring any damage.

As Austin's storm began to weaken, the souls too streamed back in the firmament.

The skies darkened once again and the suffocating fog returned, letting not a single ray of sunshine in.

Soon enough, heinous shrill screams echoed queerly in the fog. Many souls shuttled back and forth in the dark mist. They were like devils hidden in the darkness of night. Their red eyes were pretty gruesome in the darkness.

"I am so scared, they are ghosts."

Fanny screamed.
