The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 224

Billy wielded his spear and aimed it at Austin. With his half level spear intent, Billy could transfer his energy to his spear and provide it with a powerful vital energy force. Dozens rays of spear-light emanated from his spear. Without wasting time, he ordered them to attack Austin.

It was the first time Austin was fighting Billy and his first time fighting someone who had comprehended spear intent. Austin began on the back foot, finding it difficult to deal with the spear-light that Billy had sent at him. But as he had understood level two sword intent, he knew he could defeat Billy with his understanding. Dodging the relentless attacks of the spear-light, Austin began using his sword intent to dispel them.

Meanwhile, Marvin's giant palm projections had also begun attacking Austin. Undaunted by the threats, Austin taunted Marvin, his voice full of malice," Is that all you've got? You think you can kill me with this little trick? That's stupid of you. Let me show you what the true intent of a fighter means."

Austin threw his Spiritual Sense Flying Needle towards Marvin with all his might. The needle found its mark and embedded itself into Marvin's head. As the sharp, unbearable pain struck Marvin, the palm intent between himself and the palm projections was suspended. The vital energy swirling in his palms disappeared.

Applying his Wind-commanding Skill, Austin leapt up swiftly, his vital energy whirling around his legs. He dodged the attacks of the palm projections and rushed towards Billy, skidding to a halt in front of him.

Billy was still wielding his spear and attempting to attack Austin. But being this close to Billy, Austin was immune to his half level spear intent as his own level two sword intent was protecting him from harm. As snow was doomed to destruction at the appearance of burning hot summer sunlight, so was the half level spear intent disintegrating before the level two sword intent.

Helpless in the face of Austin's power, Billy felt his spear turn heavier and heavier in his hand as the half level spear intent between him and his spear gradually evaporated into nothingness.

At this point, Austin had gotten a clear understanding of their capabilities so he didn't want to waste his time and energy by beating around the bush any longer. He decided to display all his vital energy cultivation bases that belonged to the preliminary stage of the Earth Realm.

"I think you need to get a feeling of my Illusory Swordsmanship," he said as he looked fixedly at Billy.

Austin began demonstrating his Illusory Swordsmanship, not once taking his eyes off the man in front of him. More than twenty rays of condensed sword radiance appeared from the clouds of sword aura that gushed off the sword intent. Whirling and emanating a strong, golden light, the sword radiance shot straight at Billy.

Dumbstruck, Billy still strove to fend off the sword radiance using his spear with all his might. The Dragon Winding Spear Skill was the best he could perform, with which he could prick, sweep, cut, and block anything much faster than usual. And this was certainly a situation that demanded it.

But since his spear intent was at a level that was way lower than Austin's sword intent level, not to forget that he had fewer vital energy cultivation bases than him, standing up to Austin's strike seemed like a futile exercise.

Marvin could have helped him, if he hadn't been struck by Austin's Spiritual Sense Flying Needle. The pain in his head didn't allow him to fix his attention to the fight.

Billy had warded off most of the sword radiance using his Dragon Winding Spear Skill. But it just wasn't enough. He missed a few and they pierced his body from the front and emerged from his back. It was as if real, tangible swords had gotten through him, holes appeared in his body where those rays of sword radiance had pierced him and blood gushed over him like a thousand rivers.

There was no way Billy could recover from such piercing blows.

"Austin, since when have you had the cultivation base of the Earth Realm?"

Billy was only at level eight of the Energy Gathering Realm, which was a realm much inferior to the Earth Realm. But he wasn't silly. He could recognize Austin's true cultivation base. He had guessed it the minute the sword radiance had appeared.

"What? He's in the Earth Realm?"

Marvin exclaimed, gaping at Austin in part-wonder and part-terror. He had managed to extricate the needle from himself and save himself from the devastating pain. But right now, Billy's mere words inflicted more pain than that needle could ever have inflicted on him.

"I have been in the Earth Realm for a while," Austin told Billy. "It's just that your friend Marvin here is too stupid to sense it. Looks like you're much smarter than him. Anyway, it is too late because right now is the end of your life."

Austin unfolded his bodily movement skill. Billy knew that Austin was going to strike him again, but he was so badly injured that he had no energy left to try and run away from him.

A loud punch was heard.

Using his thousand-pound lifting strength, Austin thrust his fist into Billy's chest.

Billy went flying backwards, the sound of his bones cracking clear in the silent night.

Billy landed a few feet away and his body immediately went into a crouch, his muscles convulsing and mouth vomiting gusts of blood.

He was on the verge of death.
