"Ha-ha!"
Austin burst into laughter.
"I didn't know Ronnie thinks so highly of me.
But still. Who does he think he is? He wants me to bow to him? That's ridiculous. He gives himself too much credit.
When you return, tell him that I'd consider taking him in only if he swears loyalty to me,"
Austin said arrogantly.
"Humph!
You have a death wish, Austin. No one can save you!"
the skinny old man from the Annihilation Mountain said, his face darkening.
"If you want to fight, get on with it. If not, get lost. Stop talking nonsense!"
Austin barked impatiently at the old man, taking a threatening step forward.
"Show me what you've got. I want to see if you're bluffing."
Saying this, the old man stepped forward and made his move.
"You old bastard, I'm not afraid of you!"
Austin almost screeched as he dashed towards the old man, undaunted.
The last time he had fought a semi-governing god from the Annihilation Mountain, it had ended in a draw.
Hence, Austin was no longer afraid of semi-governing gods.
Boom!
The battle that broke out seemed to shake the earth to its core.
These two were way too powerful. For a long time after the impact, the void that spanned billions of miles around them, shook vigorously and was filled with a number of runes of law.
Austin's body was covered in a layer of light made of sword aura. Each time he made a move, he unleashed the dazzling sword radiance.
He activated five skills at the same time: the Mind Sword Skill, the Secret Reincarnation Skill, the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation, the Flying Swordsmanship Skill, and the secret skill that belonged to the heaven metal race.
Each skill was brilliant and had infinite power.
The skinny old man from the Annihilation Mountain was also extremely powerful.
He released an overwhelming amount of black smoke that engulfed Austin.
This was the second time that Austin was fighting a semi-governing god.
"AAAAAAH!"
Austin screamed, knowing that he was getting carried away. There was one thing in his mind: pull all stops to defeat the old man.
"Austin, try as you might, you will still be weaker than me. I'm going to finish you once and for all,"
the old man shouted.
"Don't talk big, old man. You will perish at my hands!"
Austin roared back.
His and the old man's eyes turned red as their fight intensified.
Endless sword aura spurted from Austin's body, causing him to look like a glowing hedgehog.
Silver crosses emerged from the old man's silver pupils, splitting the void and emitting silver lights that dazzled everyone.
In the course of the fierce battle, a silver cross pierced Austin's body, cutting him into four parts.
At almost the same time, the old man from the Annihilation Mountain exploded into flesh and bones that went up into the sky in what was a gory fountain.
He had been simultaneously hit by the Mind Sword Skill, the Flying Swordsmanship Skill, and dozens of golden spears.
It looked like they both were launching fatal attacks, ready to perish together with each other.
But the old man's strike didn't cause a lot of damage to Austin.
Austin's body had been torn into four parts, and in an instant he regenerated and reappeared again.
Since the skinny old man from the Annihilation Mountain was a semi-governing god, he would not die like this.
His body returned to its original shape and he reappeared before Austin in a flash.
But he seemed to be worse off than Austin.
Austin possessed an amazing body that helped him recover, no matter how badly injured he was.
But the old man didn't have such a body.
And although he had regenerated almost instantly, he was still injured.
"Guys, what are you waiting for?
I can't take out Austin on my own!
But we can destroy him if we work together!"
