Lewis wanted to use them as baits to distract Austin and his mysterious help hand.
Austin's merciless slaughter of the three Imperial Realm warriors had struck terror into the three servants' hearts, however. And now, they were trembling with fear, unable to move.
But compared with Austin, they were more afraid of Lewis, their constant brutal torturer. So after taking a deep breath, each of them braced themselves and launched their weak vital energies towards Austin.
From his spirit, Austin had three long vital energy sword materialize, flying around him in circles.
Shortly, a shield of sword aura formed.
Thousands upon thousands of sword aura as sharp as blade were emitted by the shield. It was a defense as well as an offense.
Then, moments later hundreds and hundreds of light golden fire balls as large as a man's fist emerged from behind the shield. The flames raged, impatiently waiting to launch at their targets.
It was the legendary Flaming Swordplay Array!
The sword aura shield was in fact made of the three flying swords, like how the three blades of a mechanical fan would whirl and form a whole. The shield lingered in the air and blocked all the attacks from the three highly intimidated servants.
They were dawdling over their task anyway.
"Run, Master Ronald, run for your life! This man is too powerful! I can't hold him back forever!" shouted Lewis to Ronald.
Lewis never imagined that someone like Austin would have such high combat effectiveness. He was beginning to feel terrified, and he was starting to plan for the worst.
Ronald, on the other hand, was completely stunned by Austin's remarkable fighting skills as they appeared one after the other.
His men were all successfully killed by Austin.
Austin had the upper hand throughout the entire combat. Now, he realized that this was never a hunt for Austin. This was a hunt for him!
The cry from Lewis awakened his senses. A ray of hope arose in his heart -- if he ran now, he might make it out of there alive. Ronald was seized with a strong desire to abandon his crew.
But his pride was holding him back. Ronald was caught in a dilemma, to run or to stay? To die a heroic death or to take revenge in the future?
He was raised by the Song Clan as a proud noble young master, but deep inside, he was born a coward. He was small and petty. And his true self would reveal itself whenever he encountered any crisis. Especially a crisis like this one.
"Bastard... You.. You are..." stammered Ronald, "You are so dead! You...
We will... The Song Clan will hunt you down! We will hunt you down till the end... The end of the world!"
Finally the true self conquered the disguise. Ronald unmasked his fake proud and braveness. With a resentful glare, he decided to escape certain death.
"I will never forget about this, you bastard! Let's go!" shouted Ronald.
He displayed his bodily movement skill and fled away. Ronald acted like he still had an army at his disposal, but indeed, he only had four female servants left.
These four hesitated for a while, and then decided to go with Ronald anyway. Ronald had a long record of being unreasonable, so it was no wonder that they didn't want to follow him.
