There was a tacit agreement between Austin and the governing gods from four major forces. They didn't need to say anything but each of them knew their jobs.
Austin fought Warner while the governing gods engaged Emmet, so that the two of them couldn't fight together. It was a clever case of divide and conquer.
Austin and the governing gods knew that if Warner and Emmet got a chance to set up the sword array, then the battle was all but lost. It would be incredibly difficult for them to handle the sword array.
"We need to work together!"
Emmet told Warner through his spiritual sense.
The two of them stealthily tried their best to get close to each other.
However, Austin and the governing gods were experienced fighters as well and immediately sensed what was on their enemy's mind. There was no way they were going to let the duo join hands, so they kept getting in their way and pushing them apart.
Clang!
On one side of the fierce battle, Austin's flying sword clashed with Warner's black sword and a sonorous sound was heard.
Warner was forced to step back. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Austin didn't give him a chance to recover. He stepped forwards, and was in front of the man in an instant.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Thousands of red strings appeared out of nowhere, and engulfed Warner like a storm of crimson shade.
Before the latter had a chance to struggle, more than a hundred deities rushed out of Austin's body.
They rushed towards Warner like a swarm, each of them exercising a different secret skill to attack him.
Behind those deities, Austin also activated the Mind Sword Skill to attack Warner's internal organs.
Under so many kinds of attacks, Warner received considerable physical damage.
He was spitting blood constantly now.
In a one-on-one fight, he was no match for Austin.
In fact, Austin had fought with a certain amount of reserve since he feared the large amount of great cosmos force that lay in the abyss. If he weren't holding back due to that reason, Austin would have won the battle long ago.
But even at a fraction of his strength, Austin's continuous attacks injured Warner severely.
His tormented screams became a constant as the battle progressed.
Crack!
The flying sword made another move and Warner's arm was cut off. It flew into the air and a violent burst of blood gushed out from the wound. The sky was painted red from Warner's torture.
Austin then activated his physical strength.
His fist lashed out and punched Warner in the shoulder, which threw the latter's body into the air. Such was the force contained in that punch that Warner's broken bones began protruding out of his body.
After he cultivated the Introduction to Vital Energy Circulation, Austin's physical strength had increased to a terrifying extent.
"Ah!"
Warner let out a pained cry. His body had been severely damaged.
He was covered in blood entirely and his resentful eyes were glaring at Austin.
"Austin, you deserve to die. I'll never let you go!" he snarled hysterically.
Austin burst out laughing.
"Stop embarrassing yourself," he sneered at his opponent.
It was obvious that he had the upper hand in this fight.
On the other hand, Emmet was in no better condition than Warner.
His strength was much higher than Warner's, but he was hopelessly outmatched.
Over twenty governing gods were fighting him simultaneously, which put him in an awkward position.
Each of these governing gods was an extraordinary cultivator.
They had been alive for a long time and mastered all kinds of powerful forbidden secret skills.
With their vastly higher experience and number, they had the upper hand easily.
At the same time, Austin and the governing gods knew their most important task was to keep Warner and Emmet separate from each other.
Therefore, they went to great lengths to prevent the duo from getting close.
Both of them went all-out in their effort to defeat the enemy.
The void shook as several violent clashes occurred one after another and blood flowed like water.
"Ha-ha! Warner, you won't threaten me ever again, will you?"
Austin stabbed Warner in the chest and turned his sword inside the wound.
"Ahhh..."
Warner screamed horribly, his face distorted from the sharp and violent pangs of pain that kept on coming.
Since the very beginning of their fight, Austin had smashed his body countless times.
Warner had been forced to rebuild his flesh again and again which had cost him a large amount of blood essence.
