All of a sudden, all the people present looked at Theon.
After all, he was the Sect Leader of the Sun Sect while Austin was a disciple in the Sun Sect. As long as they were in the Sun Sect's territory, Theon's attitude would determine Austin's fate.
Austin knew that Theon was caught in the middle now. He was a little touched to see that Theon cared about him to some extent.
"Ha! Mr. Xiang, don't worry.
I'll take responsibility for the death of Raymond and the other six Wolf Generals. It has nothing to do with the Sun Sect.
From now on, I, Austin Lin, am not a disciple of the Sun Sect. I'm dropping out."
There was an audible gasp from the crowd.
Austin continued, "So, Dwayne and Abbott, if you want to retaliate, you have to deal with me!
And Jaime, you bastard! Many years ago, you played a dirty trick on me and caused me to lose my intellect for three years. I'll definitely get back at you for that.
Mr. Xiang, I really appreciate your efforts to try to protect me.
Before I leave the Sun Sect, I hope that you can do me a favor.
I hope that you can protect outer disciple Evan and Herbert, and keep them safe."
Theon looked at Austin with a grave expression on his face.
"Austin, you're going to drop out of the Sun Sect?
Evan and Herbert are both our disciples, so I will protect them for sure.
However, you were reckless to say that you will leave the Sun Sect," he said after recovering from the shock.
"Thank you for your promise, Mr. Xiang.
Dwayne, Abbott, and Jaime, I guess you'll have to deal with me personally. I'm not afraid of you at all! Come on!" Austin yelled.
He had made up his mind to take all the responsibility for his deeds. He knew he could provoke them by doing this.
"Oh, wow, what a hero," Abbott said sarcastically with a sneer. "Since you've confessed to your crime, I won't spare you!"
Then, he launched a strike.
Suddenly, there was a giant bloody palm floating over Austin's head. It was at least 300 square meters in size. The stinking, bloody palm contained formidable energy that made everyone in the vicinity feel sick.
What was worse, they could hear the wails and screams of sorrowful ghosts and evil spirits who were trapped inside the palm. Any martial artist who was weak-minded would be terror-stricken to see it. He might even lose his mind.
Austin could feel the fluctuation of the formidable vital energy force inside the bloody palm.
He couldn't help thinking that the vital energy force of a Mysterious Realm martial artist was way too superior to that of an Earth Realm martial artist.
"Austin, since you're not a disciple of the Sun Sect anymore, it means that the Sun Sect can't interfere even if I kill you, right?"
Abbott sneered and pressed his hand down into the air. Mirroring Abbott's action, the bloody palm descended straight down toward Austin's head.
It seemed like the ferocious evil energy was about to swallow Austin.
'Abbott's cultivation base is probably in the medium stage of Mysterious Realm, '
Austin thought.
He started to run Golden Sun Scripture inside his body. Within seconds, the pressure of the bloody palm on him was relieved. The Golden Sun Scripture was able to combat the energy of the bloody palm in such a short time because it was an extremely upright and masculine cultivation method. As the saying went, "Good prevails over evil." Therefore, it was extremely effective when combating vicious and feminine energy.
Taking this chance, Austin sprang to his feet and flew away at an amazing speed. Within a second, he was 30 meters away, out of the striking range of the bloody palm.
However, even though he had dodged the attack of the bloody palm, he could still feel his chest constricting. The pressure of the vital energy force from the bloody palm was making it hard for him to breathe.
Boom!
Austin watched as the bloody palm crashed toward the ground where he had been standing just a split-second ago, forming a three-meter-deep hole. The ground around it cracked.
Abbott couldn't believe that he had missed his target.
His cultivation base was in the medium stage of Mysterious Realm. As far as he knew, Austin's cultivation base was just in level nine of Energy Gathering Realm. He had been confident that he would be able to smash Austin with just one blow.
He had only put 70% of his energy into it, but that should have been enough to destroy even an Earth Realm martial artist.
But Austin had been able to dodge it and get out unscathed.
How could that be?
The rest of the crowd was also shocked.
"Wow! No wonder you weren't afraid of us. You do have some skills after all," Abbott said.
With that, he approached Austin at an amazing speed and launched another strike.
A bloody palm double the size of the previous one appeared above Austin's head. It was much more powerful and violent than the last palm.
