The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 223

Just as Billy and Marvin caught up to the guy and had him surrounded, they could finally see his face and recognize who it was they had been chasing all this while. To their utter astonishment, it was Austin they had been plotting to kill.

They stood transfixed in fear, not having expected to come across Austin like this before they had set their plan in motion. They had seen how Austin had defeated Timothy in the Top Ten Outer Disciples Challenge and they doubted that they could take him down by themselves.

"How's it going, brothers? It's been a while since we met," Austin greeted them, a mocking smile on his face.

It had been Austin's plan to lure them out of the darkness. Even before he had overheard their conversation, he had known that these people were conspiring to harm him. And now, he had proof of their conspiracy. Tonight might be the time to end them once and for all. As to strength, Austin did not think it difficult to kill them considering that his cultivation base was much stronger than theirs.

"Austin, what do you mean making us come here in the middle of the night?"

Marvin barked, scowling and vindictive.

But as he assessed the situation, Marvin had a revelation. As much as Austin was strong and competent and was at level nine of the Energy Gathering Realm, he himself wasn't bad at strength. He was at the same level as Austin but the only difference between them was that Austin was a tad superior because he had acknowledged the level two sword intent and obtained a tougher and stronger fist force.

But Marvin had his own strengths as well. He knew fighting Austin by himself was stupid, so he enlisted Billy's help to implement his wish. Although Billy wasn't as strong as Austin, he wasn't completely useless. He was at level eight of the Energy Gathering Realm, only one level below Austin and Marvin, which was why Marvin believed that Billy could be of much help to him. Combining Billy's and his strengths gave Marvin the hope that they could take Austin down.

After balancing the pros and cons of the situation in his head, Marvin began to become relaxed and a little cocky. He lifted his head to look at Austin in defiance.

"Are you kidding me? What do I mean? I could ask you the same question. You two were plotting against me and talking about killing me in the middle of the night like ugly sewer rats. Now that I am right here in front of you, shouldn't you be pleased that you don't have to waste your time and energy looking for me?" Austin said sardonically.

The look on their faces had him burst into laughter. He was clearly enjoying their being made a fool of.

Now that Austin had known what they were up to, it was pointless to pretend that Marvin and Billy weren't looking to harm him. And a fight was definitely on the cards.

Furious at Austin's indifference and fearlessness, Marvin wiped off the awkwardness from his demeanor and steeled himself.

"You are right," he said viciously. "You saved us from trouble by just having the nerve to challenge us here. I won't try to deny anything now that I know that you overheard us. I want you dead. It is true. You are nothing but a stupid, cowardly, despicable creature in my opinion. You played your dirty trick on Beast Mountain and stole away more than twenty of my best earth spirit fruits.

And you expect me not to hate you? I was planning to achieve the vital energy Earth Realm with the help of those fruits. You ruined my plan and disgraced me, you son of a bitch!
