The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 601

After the leader of Ghost Sect took a few hits, his body was filled with visible marks.

Bang!

His body broke into a million pieces of flesh and bones that spiraled in every direction.

Austin darted to catch the glowing Space Ring.

'What's happening?'

Austin narrowed his eyes and focused.

A shadow emerged from the debris of the dead leader, and turned into the shape of a human. As Austin looked closely at it, it was a miniature version of the leader of the Ghost Sect.

"Austin, how dare you get in the way of our Shadow Sect? Now we will hunt you!"

said the shadow with the leader's face with rage.

"Ghost Sect is just one of the Shadow Sect's branches. You cannot underestimate the power and influence of the Shadow Sect.

Just wait and see. When the Shadow Sect makes a public appearance, the whole Prime Martial World will be ours. Then, you will understand the consequences of messing with our Shadow Sect."

"I see."

Austin was stunned.

'It turns out Ghost Sect is one of the branches of Shadow Sect. Ghost Sect already owns a lot of strong cultivators. Looks like Shadow Sect is a much more powerful organization, ' he analyzed.

But now that he had made himself an enemy of the Ghost Sect, there was no way he would beg their forgiveness. Besides, according to the shadow, he learned that the Shadow Sect somehow had to hide in the darkness.

He was confident that he could reach a higher level in a few years based on his current cultivation speed. Therefore, he didn't think Shadow Sect would be a threat to him.

"As for my welfare in the future, that's not your business. You should worry about yourself.

This is your soul. Your body has been destroyed, but you can still exist in this form," Austin replied coyly.

He stared at the leader's soul, very intrigued.

"Austin, he must have practiced some kind of secret skill. Cultivators at the Imperial Realm can't normally exist like this,"

Warren chimed in.

"But once his soul is destroyed, he will disappear forever."

The soul of Ghost Sect's leader knew he would vanish forever if he didn't escape.

The leader's soul turned into a light and flew away from Austin.

In the form of a soul, he moved exceptionally fast; compared to in his human form, his speed had increased tenfold.

However, Austin had already predicted his next move. He used his lighting skill and instantly the thunder radiance came in the soul's direction.

The thunder radiance's merit was its speed. It moved as fast as the soul did. Besides, Austin had already speculated the direction that the leader's soul was most likely going to run to.

"Ah!"

A smoke rose as the thunder radiance hit the soul of the Ghost Sect's leader. A burnt smell filled the air.

The soul let out a shrill scream.

Before the soul came back to its senses, the second thunder radiance attacked it.

A low ringing sound filled the air.

Ah!

Its cry was almost inaudible.

Soon the leader's soul vanished into thin air.

The battle was finished.

Austin opened his beast-subduing bag and the evil ape got inside the bag.

At the sight of this, Warren envied him. 'He got a helper that can match a cultivator at the medium stage of Imperial Realm. This guy is really something, ' he sighed.

Besides, he had witnessed how Austin fought against the leader of Ghost Sect alone. Although the young guy had only reached the medium stage of the Sky Realm, he still thought highly of him for he had done a pristine job at fighting against an Imperial Realm master.

Warren also marveled at the martial arts skills Austin had just exhibited including Demon-creating Skill. He wondered how this teenager had acquired such expert-level martial skills.

Warren was also shocked to know that Austin could also display the thunder radiance quite well.

As far as he knew, thunder was a violent, overwhelming force. A cultivator who could master the thunder power was far more powerful than the others in his cultivation base.

Warren observed that Austin was not that good at thunder force yet. He knew he would be a huge threat once he became more skilled at utilizing the lighting power.

Warren didn't put on air around Austin even though he was more respected than the emperor. The reason was single—he was certain that the lad would make a higher achievement in the martial arts field than he would, at least in the near future.

In the Prime Martial World, strength decided everything. The cultivators of greater power earned respect from others. It meant that people valued one's cultivation base more than one's identity.

Warren was aware that Violet Orchid Empire would mean nothing to him when Austin had become a much stronger cultivator.

Warren walked up to Austin and patted his shoulder gently.

He said as friendly as he could.

"Kid, thank you so much for your help. If it weren't for you, we might have lost imperial capital city."

Austin laughed and responded politely, "I'm flattered, Your Imperial Majesty.

I just did my job. After all, I am a part of the Violet Orchid Empire. Besides, my relatives and friends live here. I refuse to allow this city to be taken."

Warren burst out laughing.
