The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 402

A man was seated in the corner of the auditorium. His cold eyes, filled with killing intent, landed on Austin who was in the resting area for the contestants.

The man was Abbott, head of the Blood Wolf Team. Many of his teammates had signed up for the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games––an excellent opportunity for all the sects in the Violet Orchid Empire. He was serious about this match and wished his men could break in the top fifty so that they could enter the Mysterious Nether World.

Abbott closely watched Austin's matches with furrowed eyebrows. He wanted to observe the lad's performance to see how powerful he could be. The more powerful Austin was, the more significant trouble the Blood Wolf Team's members were in. If Abbott wouldn't do something about Austin, he would be a big threat to him and his comrades in the near future.

"Darcy, have you spread the news about a bounty on Austin's head?"

Abbott asked a thin man beside him.

"Sir, we've delivered the message secretly. Now, all the contestants must have heard about the news.

This is the highest reward we've ever offered. I'm sure all these cultivators must be eager to take Austin's life.

No one could surely resist the temptation of such a significant amount of money," Darcy whispered in Abbott's ear.

"I see. Austin is a powerful cultivator. I guess only a few contestants would be able to kill him.

I hope a strong cultivator will be willing to take him down for twenty million vital energy crystals.

The perfect person for the job is Leo from the Peripatetic Sect. If he is willing to do so, Austin is as good as dead," Abbott explained in a deep voice, hopeful that the bounty would lure someone to kill Austin.

"Sir, Leo's cultivation base is high, but he is still a principal disciple. Twenty million vital energy crystals are already a big sum of money for any sect disciples.

I guess he'll accept the mission for the bounty.

If that happens, Austin is surely doomed."

"I hope so."

Even after hearing Darcy's reassuring remark, Abbott still had some apprehensions. He had a bad feeling that Austin would soon cause great trouble for the Blood Wolf Team.

...

Meanwhile, Dwayne, the Chief Elder of Flaming Sun Valley, also sat in the corner of the auditorium.

He came here for one purpose––to end Austin's life.

Since his grandson, Raymond, had gotten killed by Austin, he only focused on one thing––to avenge him.

Dwayne stared at Austin from the other end, his eyes gleaming with infinite resentment.

"I've used all my connections and asked everyone I know for help to avenge my grandson. Even my friend's disciple, Philip, promised to find a chance to kill Austin during the tournament. Now, he's definitely doomed. My poor Raymond, I'm going to avenge you," Dwayne murmured, still mourning for the death of his sole grandson.

His voice was so low that only he could hear what he uttered.

... A group of contestants, who were loyal to the elder son of the emperor, lined up in the resting area. A man, about twenty-three years old, stood out among them, giving off a dangerous aura like a demon.

He was dressed in beautiful clothes with golden silk thread and wore a belt with gems. A floor-length silver cloak draped on his shoulders. The man certainly looked affluent as his strong vital energy force overwhelmed everyone.

He stood in front of the rest before turning around and saying, "Everyone! I'm sure you have not forgotten the prince's words. If any of us meet Austin in the battle ring, we must try our best to bring him down. That man had the guts to take the prince's two concubines with him during the wedding ceremony. He committed an unpardonable crime, and for that, he must die."
