Austin squinted his eyes, as he attentively watched the four figures fly towards him in a fast pace.
Using his spiritual sense, he identified the figures to be old men.
But what alerted Austin was not their age but their vital energy forces.
Austin sensed that one of them was at the premium stage of Astral Realm.
But what shook him the most was that the remaining three other elders were even stronger than the Astral Realm warrior.
'Jeez, the other three are already at the Tribulation Realm.'
The Tribulation Realm was a level higher than the Astral Realm.
Austin couldn't help but smile bitterly internally.
He had initially thought that the Astral Realm cultivators were the most powerful people the leaders of those the Sky Sect had sent to the Middle World Waters.
But apparently he was mistaken big time. To his utter astonishment, three Tribulation cultivators from the Sky Sect were flying towards him right now.
'Looks like I might not be able to get through this, ' Austin thought dejectedly. It was like fighting a losing battle before it had even begun.
If only the four elders were at the Astral Realm, he was confident that he could still survive and save himself.
But the problem was, he was going to be up against three Tribulation Realm masters and one Astral Realm master all at the same time. Fighting them on his own would be suicide.
What was more, the four led a large group of the Sky Sect disciples. It was like an army of beasts led by four gods.
'Looks like I have no other choice but to run away.
It's pointless to confront with them when I already know what the outcome would be. I would be an idiot if I continue to stay here and wait to be killed by three Tribulation Realm masters, ' he thought.
Austin didn't waste any more time contemplating and gathered his vital energy in an attempt to make his escape.
.. .
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect that I would meet you here, Austin."
A familiar voice coming from another direction reached Austin's ears.
Austin, who was busy activating his Thunderbolt Movement Skill suddenly stopped.
He raised his head and looked at where the voice came from. His eyes widened with amazement when he saw who it was.
"Hello, Justin, Uncle Felix," Austin greeted, shock and curiosity evident in his voice.
He saw a dozen figures approaching him in lightning speed from the distant sea.
Among the group, were three figures who were obviously the fastest and had taken the lead.
The two of them were none other than Justin and Felix.
And the other one was a tall, handsome middle-aged man whom he had never met before.
"Ha-ha, don't panic, Austin. We're on your side. No harm will come upon while we're here."
Justin's loud voice resounded once more. It was filled with pride and confidence.
'Now I understand what's going on.'
Justin's words soothed Austin's fearful heart and troubled mind. He let out a sigh of relief, as the tension in his body slowly melted away.
'He is backing me up.
I can tell that he, Felix, and that middle-aged man are all sea beasts which are a level higher than those sea beasts at the Transformation Realm.
So I guess they are as strong as the human cultivators at the Tribulation Realm, ' Austin mused.
With three powerful beasts to aid him, Austin finally stopped panicking inside.
'I don't need to flee now, ' he thought confidently.
...
A few moments later, several figures simultaneously turned up in front of Austin.
The four elders of the Sky Sect and three sea beasts arrived only seconds apart.
"Austin, you little bastard! Kneel down and surrender,"
one of the four elders of the Sky Sect roared furiously at Austin's face the moment his feet touched the ground.
When he spoke, he directed his powerful vital energy force at Austin in order to intimidate him.
The remaining three elders followed suit and did the same thing.
The old man's vital energy force at the premium stage of Astral Realm had no effect whatsoever on Austin.
But the overwhelming vital energy force from the three Tribulation Realm masters was a different story. It was so strong that Austin had a difficult time breathing, as if the air itself was getting thinner and thinner.
Even activating his vital energy was strenuous, because he discovered that some of his energy meridians were blocked.
'I have to admit, the cultivators at the Tribulation Realm are way out of my league.
They are way stronger than the Astral Realm ones, '
Austin thought to himself.
When the four elders of the Sky Sect landed on the ground, Justin, Felix and the middle-aged man immediately stood by Austin's side.
Justin sensed that the four elders had released their vital energy in order to threaten and intimidate Austin, and couldn't help but let out a derisive snort.
"Who the hell are you anyway, you assholes? You're being quite rude you know,"
he said scornfully.
An overwhelming energy suddenly burst out from his body, and shattered all the vital energy force which had enveloped Austin. It was like a huge hammer which broke down the thick wall of vital energy.
