The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 394 That Was Way Too Cruel

In the battle with Shawn who was a disciple from the Flaming Sun Valley, Austin had faced absolutely nothing challenging. It was a cakewalk for him. However, Austin was in the mood for experimenting, and hence intentionally bought some time. He didn't want to end the battle early because he intended to test his cultivation achievements. Austin changed his attacking skill from level 7 sword intent to the Wind-commanding Skill. Whoosh! Like a lightning, he rushed towards Shawn in an instant and struck him in a flash.

Shawn had been suppressed by Austin's sword intent when the battle had begun, and was already intimidated by Austin.

The change of tactics and Austin's instantaneous attack made it impossible for Shawn to respond.

"Go to hell!" Austin shouted in anger.

At the same time Austin hit Shawn with an overwhelming force. "Huh?" Austin exclaimed. What had transpired after Austin's attack surprised him.

Shawn had merely stepped back, regaining his footing after that heavy blow by Austin. However, he was completely unharmed. Austin was taken aback.

"How could this be?" Austin asked himself.

Austin had punched Shawn with a force of ten thousand pounds. For an outsider, he might not know the implications of this for there was no way for him to know the power of the blow. Austin was aghast at how tough Shawn's body might be to endure such a hit.

It took the experienced Austin a few seconds to realize why Shawn was still standing.

As soon as Austin had hit him, all of Shawn's clothes had been torn— only a few rags still sticking to his body. However, it was what the clothes were concealing and that was the reason for Shawn's lack of injury.

It turned out that Shawn was wearing a Guardian Armor.

The Guardian Armor sparkled in the sun, radiating a gloomy blue light. Obviously, it was not an ordinary object. Its grade was at least equivalent to that of a high-grade spiritual weapon's.

Shawn's body still obviously had some repercussions. He felt his head dizzy and the blood in his veins pumping furiously. However, Shawn was glad he was still standing strong.

"Ha ha ha, Austin!" Shawn laughed mockingly. "I agree that you are a stalwart. You are stronger than me not only in the sword intent, but also in physical strength.

But it seems that you can't kill me.

This blue Guardian Armor is my family’s heirloom. I will never part with it. And I am sure as hell going to keep wearing this throughout the competition.

So, Austin, I can't beat you. But, you can't beat me either. What a standoff we are at!

This can go on forever. But you and I both know this is going to end in a draw.” Shawn laughed again, even more loudly this time.

"Oh, yeah? Has the tortoise shell really given you such confidence? You're a coward who hides behind these silly armors!" Austin sneered. Austin's physical strength had the ability to exert a force of 15, 000 pounds after cultivating into the stage 5 Overlord Body-refining Formula. When he had hit Shawn, he hadn't exerted his full strength. He had only used 10, 000 pounds of his full potential strength.

"All right then. It's time to break your shell and your confidence at the same time. It won't take me long," Austin declared.

As soon as he had spoken, he dashed towards Shawn faster than wind and raised his fists—about to punch Shawn as tremendously as he could.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

"Buff!"

"Phut!”

It sounded as if hammers were clanging in the air.

A crack appeared on Shawn's Guardian Armor. Then another. The cracks slowly widened, like a ripple in the water.

"What is happening? Oh, no! It can't be. Oh God, help me! Help!" Shawn cried desperately. His screams were laden with despair.

But Austin showed him no mercy. Like a ferocious beast hungry to kill, he continued to wildly smash Shawn with his powerful fists.

"Bang!"

“Bam!”

"Phut!”

The punches rained on Shawn's body like a heavy hail storm. Shawn had no way out.

It took Austin just over a dozen punches to break Shawn's Guardian Armor into tiny pieces.

As Austin had declared a few moments ago, with Shawn's Guardian Armor broken, even his confidence crumbled. Shawn began to retreat away from the fight.

He had resigned himself to running away so much that he even left his long sword behind.

The Guardian Armor fell off one by one from Shawn's body—quite analogous to Shawn's own confidence and his determination to fight. "My goodness!

Look at that guy!" One of the audience members exclaimed.

All the other battles in the entire arena had ended. There were a hundred battles that began at the same time, and yet the only one left to finish was the one between Austin and Shawn. Ring No. 63 was packed with attention.

As a result, every person in the audience was glued to their seat, their focus only on Austin and Shawn.

They saw Austin smash Shawn's Guardian Armor with his tremendous force.

"Bang bang bang!"

Austin's constant beating had broken all of Shawn's bones and punctured his internal organs. He began vomiting blood, with tiny pieces of tissue floating inside. He had turned into a punchbag for Austin, albeit in the shape of a man.

Shawn attempted several times to take his number plate out and crush it, signaling surrender. But Austin had drained him of all his strength. Shawn was exhausted, and even moving his hands felt like moving a mountain.

Austin was chasing Shawn around, cornering him to the edge of the battle ring. Eventually, Shawn died—as a result of Austin's merciless punches. Shawn fell to the ground, his body covered with bruises and his face gory and bloody.

Austin merely patted his clothes, swept the dust off, and jumped out of the battle ring as if nothing had transpired.

The audience gazed at the scene with eyes wide-open.

"That young man is so fierce! He killed a disciple from the Flaming Sun Valley whose cultivation base must have at least been in the medium stage of Earth Realm. The victim was wearing a Guardian Armor too, and it looked very high in quality. I guess that Guardian Armor was definitely better than a high-grade spiritual weapon. And he did all this with a few punches.

God! He must be infinitely strong," a spectator told his friend.

"More importantly though, I've never seen such a bloody, relentless fight. It was too cruel and too horrible! I'm terrified at the sight of such barbarous scene. Look at the blood! It makes me want to vomit," his friend replied.

"Were you watching the fight from the beginning? At first, the young man suppressed his opponent with the sword intent, rendering him unable to resist. And then, he beat him violently to death.”

"Really? That disciple from the Flaming Sun Valley who had a sword seemed to be a swordsman. How come a swordsman was suppressed by this young man’s sword intent?"

"Ah, I know that guy. He is Austin from the Sun Sect.

He is indeed an extraordinary man and an even more extraordinary warrior.

I heard that the Flaming Sun Valley and the Blood Wolf Team both regard Austin as their enemy and are chasing him, desperate to hunt him down and end him."

"What? Are you serious?

Do you mean that Austin has offended both the Flaming Sun Valley and the Blood Wolf Team? These are the two major forces in the country. I don't think he's got long to live.

How dare he offend both of them? It's impossible!

Unless one is an idiot, nobody would offend these two giants.”

"So you don't believe me, huh?

I have a good friend and he is a disciple of the Flaming Sun Valley. I know all of this from him. During our conversation, he had also showed me Austin's portrait, telling me that if anyone found Austin and immediately reported his address to the Flaming Sun Valley, he would receive a generous bounty from the Flaming Sun Valley.

I promise you it is perfectly true. Austin is their enemy!"

Many people in the audience, after hearing this conversation burst out into a chitchat about Austin.

Austin hadn't expected to draw such great attention in his first battle itself.

If he had known the consequences, he would have immediately gotten over with Shawn.

There was no need for him to be so violent that he was now the center of all attention.

He felt quite helpless and regretful. Emperor Arthur who had also watched the fight was pleased by Austin’s performance. He smiled and said, "That young man Austin! His way of fighting is fascinating.

He's a spectacle to watch.

He used the sword intent to suppress his opponent first, He used the sword intent to suppress his opponent first, and then brutally killed him. What an entertainer! His skill of sword intent was deft. He also looked like a cultivator who had refined his body strength. It seems that his level of body refining is unmatched as well.

I estimate that his current physical strength must be close to 15, 000 pounds.”
