Austin decided to take a chance and tried to reach out for the bead.
"Austin, stop!
Don't touch it, you bastard!"
as Barret shouted to Austin, a group of people appeared at the gate of the hall and came in one by one. "Wow! What's that? A silver bead!" someone exclaimed.
For a short while, they were only about a dozen.
But then more and more people followed them in, and soon there were over one hundred people in the hall.
In spite of the powerful and continuous thunder attack, they had managed to come in.
Needless to say, they were all strong and powerful cultivators, and certainly formidable and capable.
The precious silver bead had drawn everybody's attention.
They all knew that there was a valuable treasure in the hall, and it turned out to be this rare object!
Seeing Austin's suspended right hand, they deduced that he intended to claim the silver bead as his own.
They all roared with anger, "You bastard, you can't take it!"
"Don't talk nonsense. Let's stop him!"
"I know you are a good fighter, but if you take it, we won't let you get away with it.
It's hundreds versus one, and you won't be a match for us! Think twice. You are doomed to die if you dare to take it,"
they shouted at him as they cautiously drew closer to him.
At the moment, all the thunder flashes had zeroed in on Austin and kept still as they focused on him.
Because of this, the other cultivators could walk freely in the hall without being attacked. They even thought they were free from danger, for the thunder radiances were only pointed at Austin. Austin stared at the cultivators. They got closer and closer carefully.
Barret was among them. The rest were cultivators from the Sky Sect, the Magic Hand Sect, the Ghost Puppet Sect, and the New Moon Sect, and there were many excellent fighters from Astral Realm who were once engaged in the plan of killing Austin, as well as some other warriors from Master Realm.
Austin hated these people very much.
"Ha-ha, you all want this, right?
Then come and compete with me!"
Austin smiled ruthlessly and his eyes darkened.
A perfect plan occurred in his mind. Once he took the Thunder Bead, the thunder radiances would become out of control.
Everyone else would be besieged in the net of the thunder radiances. Nobody in the hall could get away with it, except Austin. He had figured out how to get out of there alive.
Most of the people in the hall had been engaged in the plan of killing Austin or at least intended to kill him, so Austin decided to take his revenge on them and teach them a lesson.
Austin stopped.
He decided not to take any action until they were at the right distance. Now there were about one hundred cultivators getting close to Austin.
At the moment, they were about a hundred meters away from him.
Austin snickered to himself at the knowledge that they were all powerful adversaries.
Moreover, there were more and more cultivators flowing in the hall from the gate.
"Gentlemen, the show is about to start. Are you ready? Have a good time!"
Austin smiled mercilessly. Without waiting another second, he grasped the bead with his right hand swiftly, and put it into his Space Ring.
He activated his mind so that he could utilize the teleportation power of the City to transport himself to another space and make his escape.
"You bastard, how dare you!"
Barret was beside himself.
"You are courting death, you bastard!"
"Damn it! He took the bead away!"
Seeing Austin reaching for the bead, everyone roared with fury and jealousy. Ignoring these frantic cultivators, Austin vanished into thin air.
He was gone, completely gone.
He transported himself to the City, which shrunk to the size of a grain of sand.
It fell on the ground of the hall, where no one could notice it.
"Boom!"
