On his way to the imperial capital city, Austin suddenly found himself face to face with Augustine, a core disciple of the Flaming Sun Valley.
Augustine had already learned a level six sword intent. Also, from the vital energy that Augustine used for his blade intent, Austin realized that his opponent's cultivation base was at the premium stage of the Earth Realm. That wasn't going to be too much trouble since Austin was also at the same stage.
Augustine was calm and composed in front of Austin and it looked as if Austin was doomed to fail.
After a few minutes of looking at each other, Augustine threatened Austin, "You bastard! I am going to use the blade aura and cut you into pieces."
Blade aura perfectly copied the soul of blades and was a mighty and gorgeous tool. It wasn't easy to dodge it.
"Fizz! Fizz! Fizz! Fizz!"
Every time the aura traveled, the surrounding air was cut into pieces by its sharp blade intent and a sound like someone crying in pain was heard. The leaves that lay dead on the mountain path were carried by the fierce wind that came with the invisible blade and were ground into powdery dust. Even large bushes found themselves cut into pieces.
Shoop!
The aura headed for Austin directly. It was flying at an extremely high speed and looked like it wanted to kill everyone in its path.
"Ha ha ha, Austin, I don't even need to use a level 6 blade intent to kill you. What I am doing is taking up less than two-thirds of my energy. You would have been a goner had I utilized a level 4 spell too."
Augustine laughed loudly. However, once the real fight began, his eyes became filled with madness and his breath began to speed up. In fact, with time, his anxiety grew and he had to gasp for breath.
"Yes?"
Austin froze for a moment.
He could see that Augustine was crazy about fighting and it was going to be hard to stand up against him since his favorite pastime was to practice his skills. Also, his strength was clearly outstanding.
However, Austin was also crazy about practicing, wasn't he?
Furthermore, the blade aura Augustine was letting of a level 4 blade intent, and not at his full strength. Austin decided that his sword intent could be used against this aura.
Without any hesitation, he drew his sword at the very moment his opponent's level 4 blade intent appeared.
His superior sword was drawn so rapidly that it could not even be seen. It was surrounded by a sharp sword aura which hit against the blade aura like a meteor tearing the sky.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! … …"
The spot where the blade and the sword auras clashed into each other exploded. Vital energy gushed out and mushroom clouds appeared continuously.
"Ah? Amazing! You are a practitioner of swordsmanship and you know a level 4 blade intent.
And oh look! You have a superior sword which has increased the strength of your aura!
I shouldn't have underestimated you, I get that now. You have reached the premium stage of the Earth Realm and known a level 4 blade intent. You really are a talent Austin. I would go so far so as to say that you are close to Frank of Flaming Sun Valley.
But, it's a pity for you that I know a level 6 blade intent. I can defeat you easily.
And since I don't have time to waste playing cat and mouse games, I am going to kill you now."
As he talked, Augustine's strength was getting higher and higher. His eyes were full of blade aura and glistening with a frightening shine.
The next moment, "Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!"
Numerous beams of light rushed out of Augustine and the surrounding air was cut into a million tiny pieces.
Gradually, the sharp blade radiance began to stretch. Leaves that lay near Augustine's feet seemed to be cut by several intangible swords. One was cut into two; two into four; and finally, it turned into dust.
Austin realized that Augustine was accumulating energy and was waiting for it to gather so he could get the strongest shot.
Just how strong he didn't know yet!
The higher level of blade intent a practitioner knew, the more powerful an attack he could perform.
Austin's level 4 blade intent would not be able to fight against Augustine's level 6 blade intent.
"Ha ha ha, what do you say? Should I kill you like a dog or an ant?
It really is a pity to lose an opponent like you. At such a young age, you have already understood a level 4 sword intent. You can be called as a genius. If you had more time, you surely would have become stronger. And I have no regrets fighting you.
What a shame that you offended the Chief Elder of the Flaming Sun Valley. You deserve this now."
Augustine was talking a lot as if Austin was hearing his last words. At the same time, he was also accumulating energy.
