"You asked for it!" said Austin.
All eyes were trained on Austin. Feeling their glances, he just smiled. And then, in the blink of an eye, he stretched his left hand and scooped Joyce into his arms.
Then, he raised his right hand, and something appeared above his palm. It was the purple vital stone! The vital energy began to gush out of his body and concentrate itself into the purple vital stone.
Having absorbed enough vital energy, the purple vital stone jumped mid-air and quickly expanded into a towering mountain that was over 30 meters high and 10 meters wide. It looked like a giant beast crouching in the dark. The scene was so creepy that it made people's hair stand on end.
Austin waved his hand to control the purple vital stone. In the next instant, it flew toward the leopard gator kings.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two loud sounds echoed through the clearing as the purple vital stone struck the two leopard gator kings that had appeared to be so menacing. The ear-splitting sounds made everyone's eardrums ache. Then, the two leopard gator kings disappeared.
Only two pits, eight or nine meters deep, were left where the creatures had been.
At the bottom of the pits lay a melange pile of ruptured flesh and broken bones. The creatures had died instantly from the attack.
Dead silence fell over the clearing.
No matter human-being or diabolic beast, they all focused their gaze on Austin. Every creature's eyes had become as wide as saucers. None could believe what they had just witnessed.
They were surprised to see that such a handsome young man, who looked rather thin and weak, and who was less than twenty years old, had the strength to mangle two level eight leopard gator kings badly in only one shot.
He had killed them as easily as if he were killing ants!
'Father was right. He is, indeed, an unusual person. In my opinion, his strength is simply amazing, '
Michelle thought as she placed a hand over her open mouth. The astonishment in her eyes was hard to conceal.
After recovering from the shock, she pulled herself together and searched for Joyce. Happiness reflected in her expression when she saw that Joyce was safe.
Then she heaved a sigh of relief and called Joyce's name.
After the shock, all members of the Meng Clan cheered simultaneously for Austin's excellent performance. A round of applause went up in the audience.
"Is that freaking you out?"
Austin asked softly as he rubbed his big hand on Joyce's tiny back.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'm surprised that you are so awesome!"
Joyce exclaimed with an adoring look on her face. She was so clever that when she saw the other people commend Austin for his powerful strength, she knew that he was extraordinary.
"Roar!"
The six scorpion-tailed leopards released a guttural growl. Aware that the young man was not as weak as they had expected him to be, they glared at Austin with caution.
What's more, Austin's actions had enraged the six scorpion-tailed leopards. They were not in the mood to delay the war anymore and decided to finish him off quickly.
The six scorpion-tailed leopards exchanged glances with each other and seemed to reach a consensus with some kind of privity.
At this moment, while everyone was still celebrating Austin's success, the six scorpion-tailed leopards abruptly launched an attack with the suddenness of a thunderbolt.
They pawed the ground to accumulate strength before dashing toward the crowd with lightning speed. So powerful was their momentum that the earth shook.
These creatures had intended to kill these human beings most violently and efficiently.
Spurred by their killing intent, the beasts reached an incredible speed, and soon, they appeared in front of the crowd.
"Watch out!"
Marwell shouted. He was the first to react. Seeing the scorpion-tailed leopards charging straight at them, his expression turned grave. He then quickly gathered massive vital energy in his blade.
He raised the blade and slashed at one scorpion-tailed leopard fiercely.
However, he was only able to resist the attack of one of the scorpion-tailed leopards.
As he couldn't stop the others, the other scorpion-tailed leopards collided with his clansmen.
The scorpion-tailed leopards struck nine martial artists of the Meng Clan at the cultivation base of the Sky Realm. They looked like kites, which had broken away from their strings, being flung away and then falling to the ground. The force used by the scorpion-tailed leopards had been so tremendous that each of the nine martial artists had been seriously injured and they could no longer fight.
From among the scorpion-tailed leopards, one made a sudden turn after it had collided with the crowd. And then, with its horrifying speed, it rushed toward Michelle.
As it closed in on Michelle, it rubbed the air rapidly. The air in front of the scorpion-tailed leopard was compressed into a series of air cannons, and the ground was blasted into a large pit.
"Bang! Bang!" The sound of the compressed air as it was released filled the clearing.
