That punk is breaking the array! How did he know where the weakness of the array was?
one of the tomb owners hollered in disbelief.
Austin's Twin Shadow Blades struck a tree, and it created a loud smack. As soon as the tree was cut in half, it turned into a little black flag. Fanny, who was waiting for this moment, jumped towards the flag and grabbed it.
"How about we activate the array and attack that rascal now?"
"No need for that. He has just reached level seven of the Energy Gathering Realm. You take in charge of this array. Activate the array when the red blood magical python dies," explained a tomb owner. He rushed to the northeast corner, followed by five men in black.
"Austin! Those men in black found out we were breaking the array. They want to stop us," Fanny anxiously reminded.
Austin turned his gaze around the area, and saw the tomb owner approaching him with five men in black. He had seen this tomb owner with his spiritual sense before.
Taking the lead was the tomb owner, nearing as quick as a flash of lightning. Austin guessed he had reached the Earth Realm at least when he saw how calm and collected he was when approaching.
The foundation of the array consisted of six trees, three of which had been cut off. Austin planned to cut off the remaining trees to break the array, and he knew it would not be an easy task.
He needed to seize every minute and second, as the tomb owner would arrive at any minute.
Worse, the souls which had been attacking Austin and Fanny seemed to have found out that Austin's pale golden vital energy could harm them. They decided to stop attacking the two.
They changed their target and began to attack the Twin Shadow Blades, which were pouring their all in destroying the remaining trees of the array. Affected by the countless souls, the Twin Shadow Blades were encased by black spider webs, unable to cause damage to the trees anymore.
Austin was filled with rage at the sight of this. Frowning and with no choice left, he recalled the Twin Shadow Blades and strode towards the trees. He threw a punch on the trunk, and the tree rocked in agitation. But to Austin's dismay, it did not break.
He didn't expect the foundation of the array to be this sturdy and stable. He could lift 1, 000 pounds with one hand, yet he was unable to break the tree with his fist. 'This array is truly remarkable!' he exulted in admiration.
No wonder it took the Twin Shadow Blades, a high-grade spiritual weapon, a while to cut off three trees. Austin admitted that he was not able to maximize its power due to the little cultivation base of vital energy he acquired. But then again, no one must belittle the power of the weapon exerted by a martial artist at level seven of the Energy Gathering Realm.
If it were any ordinary tree, Austin could have smashed it into pieces with only one punch.
Since a mere punch had evidently no effect, Austin threw more punches on the trunk one after another. After four blows, the tree finally broke. As the dark mist exploded, the tree turned into a black stick.
Enraged with this, the souls disregarded Austin's pale golden vital energy, and flung themselves at him with bared fangs, like a pack of wolves hungry to tear the prey apart. Their forms turned in bizarre dull red with their roars and cries filling the air.
The raucous cries would have made anyone perplexed in aggravation. Their throat would, without a doubt, swell with those shrills. Indeed, the howls would affect people's spiritual souls.
"Aaaaargh! Stop wailing! It's so annoying," shouted Fanny, who was deeply affected by the cries. In a fret, she covered her ears with both hands, squatted down, and yelled at the top of her lungs.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Austin's head. After people died, their spiritual souls would transform into these souls; these wailing souls were essentially people's spiritual souls.
Since Austin's spiritual sense could attack people's spiritual souls, it could do the same with these souls as well.
Glad about this thought, he released a Spiritual Sense Flying Needle from his Soul Sea and had it drift towards a nearby soul.
In a swirl, the invisible Spiritual Sense Flying Needle pierced through the mist-like soul as if it had penetrated a human body with flesh and blood.
The soul whimpered mournfully, and then, bang! It exploded into a thousand fragments and soon vanished into thin air. The soul seemed to have disappeared completely.
The Spiritual Sense Flying Needle indeed worked against these souls!
Thrilled with the unexpected outcome, Austin didn't hesitate any longer. He had the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle fly towards the remaining souls. The Spiritual Sense Flying Needle was controlled by Austin's mind; it blitzed at a very high speed. In the blink of an eye, more than ten souls exploded and vanished.
The souls panicked as they realized how terrifying the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle was. They fled in shambles, completely forgetting about Austin breaking the array. They didn't care about it anymore as they didn't want to leave this world once and for all.
Without the souls in his way, Austin landed his heavy and sharp punches on the trees.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of his fists hitting the trees boomed.
As quick as a flash, he threw six punches on the remaining trees. His punches were full of impact that the trees were immediately cut off, turned into two black sticks, and fell onto the ground.
Fanny excitedly ran towards the sticks and picked them up.
