Chapter 30 Fury Boiling In Austin's Veins (Part Four)
The spectators stood baffled, watching as his right arm bent out of shape at a strange angle. The fold
of skin at which it was skewed was cut open, exposing a couple of broken white bones, the image gory
and revolting.
"Ssss.."
The crowd sucked in their breaths at the sight.
One move! A single move by Austin had defeated Jesse, even breaking his arm in the process.
Austin's strange bodily movements and ruthless technique had the spectators astonished.
Matias narrowed his grim eyes at Austin, fury running through his veins.
"Evan, how many punches did he throw at you?"
Austin asked him in a spine-chilling voice that could freeze water. Jesse felt a shiver crawl across his
body.
"Tin, he punched me more than ten times," Evan replied, his voice lilting with encouragement. Seeing
what Austin just did, he grew more confident.
'Liar!' Jesse yelled out in his heart, aggrieved because as far as he remembered, he had punched Evan
only four or five times. It couldn't have been as many as ten punches! He knew it would be useless to
correct the number though, as Austin would never believe anything Jesse said.
"All right! Then I'll punch him the same number of times," Austin said abruptly.
He stomped and pulled his hand into a tight fist, ready to punch him. He was as fast and deadly as a
cheetah chasing its prey.
Austin had just broken Jesse's right arm. He was already howling in pain and had no interest in
continuing the fight.
As soon as he saw Austin's punch coming at him, he tried to flee wildly and desperately like a
frightened mouse.
'You want to escape?
Where is your momentum? The arrogance you showed just now?' Austin smirked to himself.
Sneering at Jesse coldly, he used his Fish Swimming Pace, fused with the speed of the wind as he
moved toward Jesse.
Within a moment, he was behind Jesse. He threw a hard punch at his back without hesitation.
Jesse felt as if he had been struck by lightning, the skin at his back bruising terribly. Bile flooded his
throat, forcing his mouth to burst open indecorously. The crowd of disciples saw blood come out of his
mouth as he was tossed away like he was an empty sack.
"The first punch," Austin snapped.
Pow!
Before Jesse could fall on the ground, Austin rushed to his side and threw a second furious punch at
him.
Jesse's body altered its flying trajectory, now flying in the other direction.
The second!
Austin came at him for the third time.
The fourth punch!
... Austin punched him while he muttered the count. Anyone witnessed the scene before him couldn't
believe his strength. Austin did not stop until he had thrown all ten punches.
"Sss, sss, sss..."
The disciples, who watched Austin beat Jesse incessantly, were petrified at the fierceness displayed.
"The tenth punch!" they heard him bellow finally.
The dull sound of a fist hitting Jesse's body followed, and they saw him being tossed away like a
broken kite dismissively. Jesse was hurtled to the ground, raising a cloud of dust as he made the
contact.
As the dust dispersed, Austin's thin figure revealed itself. A corner of his mouth lifted in a curl, the
expression feral.
For a while, there was pin-drop silence of the field, save for Jesse's soft whines of pain. Austin
breathed in deeply as numerous pairs of eyes fixed on him. The people saw him in a new light; he
seemed to them a monster.
Jesse stilled on the ground, now making no more sounds. It was hard to tell if he was still alive.
"Evan, who else here has bullied you?" Austin asked.
As he spoke, his eyes slowly swept over Matias and his followers, and instantly, the dozen or so young
men felt like they were being targeted by a ferocious beast.
Only Matias took a step forward, looking defiantly into Austin's eyes.
He could not deny that Austin's display of behavior was shocking.
At the same time, however, he knew that Austin's current vital energy level was only at the fourth level
of Energy Gathering Realm.
The discovery surprised Matias a little bit, as he himself was at the fourth level of Energy Gathering
Realm too.
But he still didn't regard Austin as his equal. Matias had previously succeeded in fighting an outer
disciple whose cultivation base was higher than his, after all.
Evan watched Jesse, who lay on the ground. Jesse was so badly beaten up that he couldn't even
stand up. Evan felt relieved. Somehow, the earlier pain in his body seemed to dim, until he couldn't feel
it at all.
"Tin, each of them has bullied us before."
Facing Matias and the other disciples, Evan was no longer as scared as he used to be. He stood with
his chest puffed out, pointing at the group as the words rang out boldly.
"Good, very good! Then, none of them will be able to escape me. I'll take my revenge on them one by
one."
As Austin's cold gaze scanned the group of young disciples, his outstretched hand pointed at a young
man who stood at the side. He shouted, "You. Let's start with you!"
The young man was instantly startled. "You fool," he shouted. "How dare you?"
Although his voice was raised, it was shaky. He was already retreating slowly, trying to slip away.
Austin rushed at him quickly. Employing Spiritual Sense Flying Needle powered by the strength of his
mind, he attacked the young man on the run.
Trying to make his escape, the young man felt a sharp pain in his head all of a sudden. Staggering in
his footsteps, he almost tumbled down.
At the same time, Austin was standing before him, throwing punches at him one after another. As the Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
young man screamed terribly, he thrashed about like a kite.
Austin had so far assaulted two of the disciples. Watching his violet punches, Matias's other followers
murmured, now lost in panic. They felt like they were weak lambs facing a hungry wolf. One by one, as
if they were on a conveyor belt, Austin brutally abused and ravaged them.
After a while, a cacophony of voices rang out on the field. Some screamed and howled, while other
begged for forgiveness and cried out for help.
When the disciples off the field saw the situation, their mouths slacked to hang so far wide open that
they could easily swallow a few duck eggs in one go.
In recent years, Matias and his followers had been doing all kinds of abominable things, including
bullying both male and female grunt disciples weaker than them. More than half of the sect's grunt
disciples had been victims to their savage treatment.
So, watching them get beaten up by Austin, the other disciples secretly applauded him, feeling ecstatic.
In their minds, Austin had risen to the status of a hero for punishing these villains.
They clapped and whistled as they watched the scene, having been bullied by Matias's group on
previous occasions.
But they soon stopped, afraid of Matias's retaliation. It was very possible that he and his group would
trouble them afterward.
At the same time, a few timid disciples were scared of Austin's apparent, newfound power. They
shuffled their feet, staring at him in horror. From time to time, they would pull at the arms of their
companions, asking them to leave at once.
Afraid of the fool's excited state, they worried that he would now train his animalistic urges onto the
innocent crowd of disciples standing on the side.
A while later, each of Matias's followers who had bullied Evan and Austin, except for Matias himself,
had been beaten up.
Continuous cries of agony could be heard across the field.
Evan was rooted to his spot, cheering for Austin. As he looked at the lot of disciples grunting in pain on
the ground, he clapped his hands and hooted.
Denali's beautiful eyes twinkled brightly. Stunned at this show of strength, she wondered deep in her
heart, 'So, this is the demeanor of the number one outer disciple back that year?'
As for Matias, Austin had saved him for the last on purpose. He intended to settle scores with him.
Matias didn't attack Austin but just observed him coldly. He was keen on identifying Austin's true
strength so he could figure out a way to defeat him.
The life and death of his entourage were of no concern to him. He was an unsympathetic man by
nature. Coldness radiated from him in waves.
Finally, Matias spoke out, "There is no denying that you are indeed a strong opponent. Very hard to
deal with, apparently. Moreover, I'm surprised your cultivation base has reached the fourth level of the
Energy Gathering Realm so quickly."
His words were firm and unafraid. After a pause, he continued, "However, if you think you can beat me,
you'll find yourself to be wrong. Among all grunt disciples, I occupy the number one spot. I can crush
you within moments, make no mistake."
Matias's words were sharp as he looked straight at Austin. The look in his eyes was intense. He moved
stealthily, intending to strike Austin.
