The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 620

"Do you mean...?" Sissi drawled in wonder.

It seemed she had comprehended the meaning of Austin's words. Not only did she appreciate Austin's exceptional insight, but she also sensed him to be a man of consideration and dignity.

"Anyway, young hero, I think you've noticed my poor health. It's a pity that I've gotten myself wounded badly at such a crucial moment," she continued in dismay.

She thought about the dangers that lay ahead of them and let out a deep sigh. She regretted her negligence that had gotten her injured in the battle.

As Austin watched Sissi's delicate face turn gloomy, he felt a certain prick in his heart and tried to console her.

"I think you'll recover soon since your vital energy cultivation base is in the Imperial Realm. Being in such a high realm, you're strong enough to treat your injuries by yourself. Of course, you'll need to be patient since any injury will take some time to heal. Those bastards must have known about your health problem. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to challenge you." He looked at her with concerned eyes.

The moment Sissi had walked out of her extravagant carriage and spoken to him, Austin had known that she was a mighty woman, not a weak and fragile one. He could sense from the vital energy cultivation base that she possessed that she belonged to the preliminary stage of the Imperial Realm.

Hearing Austin's thoughtful words, Sissi's eyes widened in wonder. Although she knew that Austin was strong and skilled, she hadn't expected him to be smart enough to identify her cultivation base level. "I'm surprised that you can identify my cultivation base.

You're right, of course. If it weren't for my injury, those men wouldn't have dared to sneak up on us like that. My current state of weakness is what gave them that opportunity.

Now that we lack both power and weapons, I have no confidence in reaching our destination. But if you are with us, things will turn out for the best. Are you truly not willing to escort me back to my sect?"

As she spoke, her eyes looked imploringly into Austin's, which touched the softest part of Austin's heart. He could see that Sissi was in dire need of protection. Still, Austin remained cool-headed enough to make a clear and logical decision.

"I'm sorry for disappointing you. It's not that I don't want to help you. I have my own reasons for departing and I hope you'll understand. For one thing, I really need to get to the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom as soon as possible to attend to some urgent matters. Besides, I can see that your Cyan Sect doesn't get along with some other sect.

I don't think I'm powerful enough to make any more enemies. Given the situation, I'd really like to stay away from trouble," he stated.

Austin made his explanation plain and brief without using any polite words or obscurities. He knew there was no point in being courteous given the situation they were facing.

"Well, if that's the case..." Sissi sighed. She was more than disappointed.

She had assessed the strength of the Cyan Sect disciples who were escorting her as well as her own and had come to the conclusion that there wasn't much hope of them arriving at their sect successfully. The only chance of them reaching their destination was if they had someone much stronger with them. Otherwise, getting back to their sect was like a distant dream.
