The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 269

Austin slapped Merlin, one of the inner disciples, on the face, successfully irritating the latter. Merlin practiced his Demonic Bone-chilling Claw, intending to kill Austin.

By doing this, Austin wanted to test the second stage of his Overlord Body-refining Formula which he had just succeeded in completing not long ago. Therefore, he didn't evade Merlin's attacks. He simply aroused the power inside his own flesh. His muscles heaved like hills and mountains in a great earthquake. They moved underneath his skin, as if countless frogs hid beneath.

Merlin's attacks landed on Austin's body as quickly as lightning. The great power in his attacks locked Austin in place. A dark and terrifying demonic cloud rolled forward.

"Hey, guys. Austin is enjoying some undeserved fame. Before Merlin's unique skills, he is locked and can't move. I bet this fight will end quite soon. Austin's reputation has been rising inside the Sun Sect in recent years, only to be killed by Merlin today."

"Look at him being desperate and helpless. He dares block Merlin's Demonic Bone-chilling Claw with his body. How silly of him!"

Discussions were taking place among the other four inner disciples.

Bang!

Austin didn't try to move aside or evade Merlin's attacks. His chest absorbed the full force of Merlin's Demonic Bone-chilling Claw.

With a deafening thud, Austin's chest was hit hard by lightning. His clothes were torn to shreds. A dark palm print appeared on the skin of his chest.

Austin felt an enormous force strike his body. He had to back up.

"Ouch!"

Austin felt a sharp pain somewhere inside his body. He was close to tears.

However, that was all that he felt. Besides the pain, he felt nothing. His body was harmed in no other way.

Merlin had already reached the ninth level of Energy Gathering Realm, and he wielded this Demonic Bone-chilling Claw with terrifying power. Nobody dared underestimate this formidable force.

Nonetheless, Austin chose to stand still. He took the risk and received each blow. Much to everyone's surprise, he wasn't harmed at all.

Austin lifted his hand and touched his chest. Except for the tattered clothes and the charred skin in the shape of a palm, he was fine.

"Haha!" ...

Austin laughed out loud. It seemed that a warrior mastered the stage two of Overlord Body-refining Formula could sustain the direct attack of a cultivator of the Energy Gathering Realm. Perhaps it could even withstand the attack of a cultivator at the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

... ... ...

"Unbelievable!

What an incredible force that was!"

All the five inner disciples, including Merlin, had thought that Austin would have been killed by the Demonic Bone-chilling Claw. On the contrary, Austin simply backed up a little and then stood firm. No harm seemed to have come to him. After receiving every blow, Austin just laughed loudly, still safe and sound.

This turn of events surprised everybody. They were left staring at Austin, dumbfounded.

Merlin, out of everyone present, was most knowledgeable about the tremendous power of the Demonic Bone-chilling Claw. Even a cultivator of the preliminary stage of Earth Realm was once severely hurt by it.

Unexpectedly, Austin, who was rumored to have just reached the ninth level of Energy Gathering Realm, boasted of such an indestructible body.

"I don't believe it!"

Merlin had vowed to kill Austin. But now, he couldn't even seriously injure him. Shocked, confused, and furious, he couldn't put up with what was happening.

His angry screams echoed through the air. He mustered all of his vital energy and gathered this in his palms. The dark demonic cloud moved forward, forming a pitch-dark claw. It hit Austin's chest hard again and again.

Merlin didn't go all out last time, but now he did.

"Fine. Let's try it again."

Austin refused to step back this time. Instead, he moved forward and prepared himself to receive Merlin's attacks.

Bang! Bang!

Muffled sounds could be heard from Austin's body. It sounded as though his body was being hit by a thousand bamboo chips. Then, another dark mark in the shape of a palm appeared on his chest.

Austin felt a force so strong that he had no other choice but to step back several times.

"Ouch!"

The pain was sharp, almost unbearable.

This time, Austin realized how powerful and terrifying the Demonic Bone-chilling Claw truly was.

The pain was getting worse. At the same time, Merlin, Isaac, and the other three inner disciples were still completely dumbfounded.

All of them kept silent and didn't know what to say.

Austin did endure Merlin's powerful attacks with his body without getting himself hurt.

"This... This is impossible!"

"How could he be as strong as one of those beasts? It's horrible!" they said.

After managing to absorb a series of attacks, Austin found that the Overlord Body-refining Formula was capable of enduring the full attacks of a cultivator who had already reached the Energy Gathering Realm.

'Haha! One million vital energy crystals were worth it, ' Austin thought happily.

Austin's body was extremely strong. Attacks from cultivators of Energy Gathering Realm could do nothing to him. Even if he were attacked by one of the cultivators of Earth Realm, he wouldn't get hurt or die easily.

"Let's do this together and finish him! Austin's body is too strong! His power is terrifying. A cultivator cannot defeat him alone."
