The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1474

The battle was on. Austin appeared in the No. 140 battle ring.

He had barely landed on the ground when a black light zoomed towards the battle ring.

The light was a young man in black. He showed up and stood opposite Austin.

Judging the ferocious expression in this man's eyes, Austin already knew he didn't come to play nice. What was worse, he had reached the premium stage of Semi-holy Realm.

The young man in black studied Austin from head to foot, his playful yet defiant eyes squinting, and his lips making a smug smirk.

"Austin Lin, right?

I don't understand how a loser like you would cross Ladd. Ha, you even murdered Rogan!

Nothing personal, though. I'm just here for business. Ladd wants me to extract you out of the ring and finish you. In return, I got to take home a handsome reward." He even made the "money sign" as he said the last sentence, rubbing his thumb with his index and middle fingers.

"In short, you've met your doom."

The young man in black circled Austin as he continued his intimidating remarks.

"To be honest, I feel bad about taking a life in public, especially when the representatives from top sects in the East Mainland and the three holy lands are watching. They might not like me anymore when they see you die in utter suffering and embarrassment.

So, I'm going to give you a chance. Do it yourself, take your own life.

That way, you can do it quickly. If you refuse my kindness, you'll die a slow and painful death... in my hands!"

the young man in black scoffed, tapping his hand against the other behind his back.

He was so convinced that he could beat Austin effortlessly and quickly, since he was at the premium stage of Semi-holy Realm, while the latter was only at the preliminary stage of Semi-holy Realm.

Austin looked at the young man in black's overbearing speech with a poker face, signifying his calm and the storm he could bring thereafter. When the young man was done, however, Austin let out a sneer. "Are you done with your bullshit? If yes, then why don't you make a move now and do what you claim you could do to me?"

He had pushed this young man in black's buttons for the latter's face darkened as he heard his dare.

"What a shameless idiot, refusing my offer!

Say your prayers now.

I'll make you suffer so much, you're going to beg me to just finish you off quickly."

The young man in black yawned in an apparent display of boredom and mockery over Austin's unwarranted verbosity.

The young man in black released a red vital energy, causing the dirt to dance in the air.

When he stretched out his right hand, a red blade materialized on it.

It was a low-grade primeval magic treasure, just like Austin's Ancient Dragon Sword.

Bolts of blade radiance pervaded the entire battle ring, demonstrating the young man in black's mastery of the level 3 blade domain.

Then, the blood-red blade transformed into a blood-red cloud with red mist. From there, streaks of blood-red blade radiance emerged.

Luckily the battle ring was protected by defense arrays, otherwise the streaks of blood-red radiance would destroy the ring.

This glaring crimson force was coming towards Austin.

Faced with the forthcoming blow, Austin remained composed

and released the level 5 sword domain.

Suddenly, a seemingly boundless and powerful sword aura enclosed him.

"This can't be!" the young man in black muffled. His eyes couldn't believe what they had just seen. "That's level 5 sword domain! Impossible!"

He knew he must think on his feet because such a strong sword aura could tear him into a million pieces anytime now. The young man in black discreetly distanced himself from Austin.

'Austin Lin isn't an easy opponent as I thought.

With his level 5 sword domain mastery going against my level 3 blade domain, ugh, he has the upper hand now, ' the young man in black realized.
