The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 857

"You are the most powerful among us. Why are you making me launch a frontal attack first?"

Austin's voice was icy cold, and his eyes were slightly narrowed.

"You have a bold tongue! How dare you disobey my order?

Do you know what will happen if I report this to the Right Wing General of the royal household?

You will be punished!" Laird snapped.

The general in charge of the mission turned to be the Right Wing General of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom.

"Oh, so you are ordering me around just because you are the squad captain? Well, sorry to disappoint you but, that kind of authority won't work on me," Austin blurted out with full conviction.

He was bold enough to disobey Laird since they had quarreled before.

Besides, the mission was never really his priority.

Austin's primary goal was to cultivate his Beast Energy-extracting Skill through the sea beasts.

"Okay. So you want to revolt, huh?

You are such one bold man.

Everyone, listen to me! This man is a traitor!" Laird's anger flared.

Everyone was all ears when suddenly, the giant octopus moved while Laird and Austin were bickering.

Swoosh!

As the blood-red demonic energy shot up into the sky, a tentacle as thick as a bucket brusquely flung at a squad member who was at the premium stage of Imperial Realm.

The octopus was a Beast Master at its preliminary stage. Its strength was equivalent to a Master Realm human warrior.

That squad member's face turned pale as he felt an overwhelming demonic power flooding and enveloping his body.

"Captain Laird, the beast is attacking!"

The other squad members dared not neglect the octopus' power. One after another, they exercised their consummate skills and launched attacks against the sea creature in different directions.

Laird hesitated for a moment, his face gloomy and cold.

"Well, I will deal with this beast first before settling old scores with you, traitor."

His golden spear flew out and stabbed the octopus at full speed. An enormous amount of vital energy force poured to the pole continuously.

Urged by the overwhelming vital energy force, a golden boa emerged from the spear, baring its fangs and charging at the octopus in a tricky angle.

Having sensed Laird's strength, the octopus folded its four or five tentacles and slapped onto his golden spear from various sides.

Laird's attack made the other squad members heave a sigh of relief.

The pressure was alleviated with the help of Laird.

Meanwhile, Austin dodged swiftly to one side, and a thought flickered in his mind.

He exercised his bodily movement skill and left as quick as lightning, only leaving a shadow in the spot where he stood.

Truth be told, Austin was also very interested in the ancient master's palace.

But with his current strength, it might be a vain attempt even if he could locate it.

He was aware that the royal household had recruited over one thousand warriors. Moreover, four Astral Realm warriors in command of the expedition.

Compared to that compelling lineup, his strength was just a drop in the bucket.

So he decided to spend more time on the Beast Energy-extracting Skill to quickly improve his strength.

If he could get any information about the mansion of the ancient master by then, he would intrude and try his luck.

"Boy, I will report your attempt to flee the battlefield to the Right Wing General.

Your death will certainly be decided!"

Gazing at Austin's receding figure, Laird exclaimed between his clenched teeth.

Just when his attention was diverted, a thick tentacle dashed right again his head from above.

Laird had to turn around to dodge the attack.

Successfully, just like the previous one, he was able to fend it off.

Austin exercised his Thunderbolt Movement Skill and skimmed over the vast expanse of the sea.

Half an hour later, Austin caught sight of a deserted island with an area of a few hundred square meters.
