Steward Wayne slowly began to approach Austin with a slight sneer. At the thought of the stela and the herbal pot Austin had got his hands on earlier, Wayne's eyes were becoming greedier and his intentions were becoming worse and worse. The whole thing was annoying at best.
"Damn it, man! You are so shameless!
First, your Crimson Palace forced innocent cultivators to explore the valley, which was filled with Grand Killing Arrays so that hundreds of them lost their lives fulfilling your purposes.
And now, you are chasing after me. Do you want to rob me of my treasures as well? Have some decency!"
Austin shouted angrily.
"Huh! Let's face it, boy! We worked our asses off for twelve hours to get through that purple light curtain, but you made it through before us and stole everything that should have been the Crimson Palace's.
There is no way we are going to let you be so lucky. I will give you a choice though.
Give me everything you have right now.
Maybe I will consider letting you leave this place alive,"
Steward Wayne sneered.
"Shame on you! You know full well that the treasures in the Fallen Immortal World have no owners. Whoever's lucky enough will get them and that's that!
What makes you think they belong to you?"
Austin was almost speechless with rage. The old man was acting shamelessly and was foregoing all thoughts of decency.
Numerous cultivators were walking on the beach and would look at them curiously from time to time.
However, no one came to bother them. People minded their own business in here.
"Hah! Seems like you do not agree with me. Alright then, let me teach you a lesson you'll never forget."
Steward Wayne began stepping forward.
Whoosh!
Before Austin could respond, Steward Wayne dashed towards him at a terribly fast pace. He opened his claw-like hand and tried to seize Austin by the collar.
Each of his ten fingers was emitting powerful rays of colorful light. These rays were at least a meter long and had an aquiline tip. Instead of Wayne grabbing Austin, these rays pierced through space and grabbed him by the shoulder.
That very instant, Austin felt that his body was once again blocked by some sort of strong law power, and he was unable to move at all.
He could not prevent this immobility, since by the time most of the cultivators reached the Heavenly Grotto Realm, they had already touched the usage of law power.
They could unleash it with a single wave of their hands.
Relatively weak cultivators usually could not fight against such cultivators because their bodies would be suddenly frozen and they couldn't move at all. This rendered any and all sorts of defensive techniques useless.
This was just one of the many reasons why cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm were known to be so terrible.
Austin's mind was still functional, thankfully, and he controlled the Pot of Chaos, ordering it to rush towards Steward Wayne's palms.
Bang!
The violent power of the pot's momentum shook the space around it and the whole world seemed to bend around it for a second.
Even Wayne was startled for a moment when he saw the energy fluctuations made by the Pot of Chaos.
However, he recovered in a flash and moved to Austin's side. Then he reached out his hand towards the latter abruptly.
Crack!
This time, the law power materialized from the space around Austin's body and turned into numerous visible red chains, glittering and trembling with some fierce force.
Thud!
One of the chains rushed around and hit Austin's body at lightning speed; he had no time to dodge it.
Faced with this assault, he was immediately thrown into the air, falling uncontrollably towards the dark sea not far away.
Thankfully, Steward Wayne didn't seem to be in a mood to let Austin fall into the sea, so he controlled the chains and pulled the latter back a little.
With a thud, Austin was knocked down on the beach. As he looked around, he saw that only four or five meters away was the terrible dark sea, and its strong and terrible waves of death were crazily sweeping towards him, landing only inches from his hair.
Puff!
Austin spat out a mouthful of blood, and felt a fierce law power rushing inside his body, wantonly ruining it from the inside.
Clearly, the strength gap between the two sides was enormous. Even if Austin could manipulate the movements of the Pot of Chaos, he was no match for Steward Wayne's control of law power.
With a single move, the latter had seriously injured Austin.
