A handsome man behind Lady Katherine walked to her side. He wore an armor and held a fine sword in his hand.
"How dare you disrespect Lady Katherine like this? Human boy!
Lady Katherine proposed to spare your life once you kneel down and beg for her mercy. She showed you mercy.
How dare you talk to her as if she is in the same filthy league as yourself?" he roared, while frowning at Austin.
The good-looking man was Lady Katherine's trusted subordinate. He was not only powerful, but also had a pleasant countenance. He had gained Lady Katherine's favor.
He wanted to impress Lady Katherine even more.
So he volunteered to deal with Austin and embarrass him.
Austin had cultivated and fully mastered the Aura Disguising Skill.
Generally, creatures with a low cultivation base couldn't see through his real vital energy realm and strength and therefore many tended to underestimate him.
Since Austin was young, the handsome man thought that Austin was weak and couldn't be a match for him. So he didn't take his opponent seriously.
"Your Highness, let me deal with this human boy!
I'll capture him alive deliver him to you,"
the charming man said, while looking adoringly at Lady Katherine.
"Well, fine. Go ahead and take him down.
Don't show him any mercy. You can finish him off,"
Lady Katherine assented to his request with a nod.
"Take your time.
Everyone in the palace must die today!"
Lady Katherine added in a playful, excited tone, as if she was playing a game of cat and mouse. She seemed to be enjoying playing with her prey before devouring it.
"I got it!"
The handsome man in an armor stepped out of the crowd.
"You reckless brat! Now, I am going to give you one last chance. Kneel down right now!
That way, you will not suffer too much although you must die.
Once I make a move, I will not show you any mercy. I will maim you before taking you prisoner," the handsome man stated.
As soon as he finished making his arrogant statements, the handsome man unleashed an enormous energy that formed clouds and came at Austin.
He intended to intimidate Austin with the powerful display of his energy so as to make him surrender without resisting.
Within their ranks of hierarchy, stronger creatures could threaten the ones with a lower cultivation base and freak them out.
However, he failed to scare him. Austin just stood stoically as if he was nailed on the ground he was standing on.
Instead of being scared, Austin was amused by the manner in which the charming man had acted.
"Are you going to start fighting or not? How much time are you going to spend showing off your limited strength like a peacock showing off its feathers?
Why are you acting like a sissy? Why don't you cut the crap and make a move like a real man should?"
Austin teased.
"That's fine. I will soon wipe out that silly grin from your face!
I'll make you regret the arrogant behavior you have been displaying!" the handsome man huffed.
He was pissed off and launched an attack.
A huge gray flame rose above his head. The temperature within his surrounding increased dramatically and became incredibly high, causing any vapor within the air to evaporate. The result was a dry burning atmosphere instantly sucking out any liquids in a person's body.
All of a sudden, the shape of the fire transformed into the shape of a huge bird. It was shaped like a phoenix with the only difference being that instead of a burning orange flame, the huge phoenix like bird had gay flames.
The bird shrieked and from a top, dashed down very fast targeting Austin.
The space where Austin stood cracked, and the area covering hundreds of acres was completely scorched by the burning flame.
Everyone around them marveled at the handsome man's strength and in their hearts they knew Austin was toast.
'Looks like this guy is using a powerful secret skill, ' they thought.
"Waller, go and give Austin a hand,"
Lady Nathalie said to her subordinate, feeling very protective and afraid that her son-in-law, Austin would get hurt.
"Don't worry, mom. Austin can handle himself; he has seen worse."
Caroline reassured her mother hurriedly.
'Seriously, you think he is not going to be fine? You want me to help him?
Austin is formidable. I couldn't defeat him even if I got support from nine other helpers at my level.'
Waller shuddered and secretly whined in his mind.
Having witnessed how Austin ruthlessly killed people in the shadow zone outside the Evil Shadow World, he was fully aware that Austin's fighting capacity was much stronger than his.
But Lady Nathalie was so desperate that she asked him to come to Austin's aid.
