The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 2963 You Deserve It

The young master of the Mu Clan turned around slowly. He shot Austin a wary look, as though he were a viper that had caused multiple deaths and had nothing to hold him back from killing more without remorse.

"Boy!" Dempsey snarled. "You really want to die that badly!"

The Earth Immortal Realm cultivators immediately stood at attention. They moved as one, surrounding Austin in an offensive stance, their auras filled with a wave of killing intent.

"Really, now?" Austin mocked Dempsey.

"You'll be breaking your promise? You're going to fight with me? Looks like people from your clan really are sore losers.”

He laughed sardonically, shaking his head. "Oh, how could you, esteemed young master of the Mu Clan, renege on your word! Ha! I've expected this much. I've completely seen through your intentions! But sadly for you, now that I am here, you'll never be able to lay a finger on Mr. Lin." Prince Aldrich gave a hearty laugh, and waved his hand. In response, dozens more of powerful Earth Immortal Realm cultivators took up positions to protect Austin.

Austin turned to the prince and gave him a little salute. "You are so considerate, Prince Aldrich. But I'm afraid I need to deal with these people on my own.”

He took a step forward and braced himself. With his feet firmly on the ground, he released a wave of physical strength.

Most would not notice, but a faint crackling sound ran through his body at his exertion.

On the other side of the hall, a small creature with distinct features perked up.

It was Pearce, an outstanding talent of the Tomber race from the Ghostdom.

He stared at Austin, his mind racing. Pearce shared the same blood coursing through the Eye of the Ghostdom Ancestor that Austin possessed in between his own mortal eyes.

That connection lent him a special insight into a different plane that was not visible to those not of the same race.

As Austin was gearing himself for the incoming fight, he released some auras, and Pearce's blood exhibited a reaction.

And the only reason for such a reaction was that they somehow shared the same blood. He peered at Austin some more, ascertaining something for himself.

Then all of a sudden, he pointed at Austin and unceremoniously announced, "That man is Austin Lin!"

All eyes immediately turned to Austin, and a tense silence filled the air.

A few beats passed, and the place erupted into frantic and near coherent exclamations among everybody present.

"What did he say?"

"Does he mean the same Austin, who is currently wanted by the four major forces and has a large bounty on his head?"

"So this is the Austin from the Fallen Immortal Cosmos. He is apparently very valuable!"

"If we kill this guy, we'll be gaining all the three million points from his jade token. That fortune is no joke!"

Most of the cultivators in trial were now eyeing Austin greedily, each one itching to have a chance to kill him and obtain his points and power.

They slowly started to move in his direction, calculating every possible angle for an opportune attack.

There was a beat of silence. Then, as if they were orchestrated by a higher power, which in this case would seem to be their common desire, they lunged at Austin all at once.

"Go!"

Members form the four major forces—the Mu Clan, the underworld, the Divine Sect and the Space Sect—all sprang to action.

They had Austin surrounded in a matter of seconds.

The odds of this battle were obviously, and significantly, slanted against him.

They began to draw closer, tightening the circle around Austin.

Trapped and outnumbered, the Earth Immortal Realm masters from the Beast Cosmos wavered. They secretly communicated with Prince Aldrich.

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

If it had only been the Mu Clan that he was up against, these cultivators would not have hesitated to fight beside Austin, especially since the Hunting Cosmos was considered a mortal enemy to the Beast Cosmos.

Besides, both sides were practically of equal strength, and this battle would just be a line in a long list of battles in the entirety of their feud.

But if they were to face so many participants at the same time, they had to reassess the situation and see if it was worth it or not.

And that was exactly what their prince did. Prince Aldrich took a few moments to consider the situation carefully.

Finally, he took a deep breath and spoke to his comrades secretly.

"Everyone, please listen to me.

We will stand by Mr. Lin, and fight alongside him!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

With grace and precision, the Earth Immortal Realm masters of the Beast Cosmos brace reinforced their stance and formed a fighting formation.

They were ready for any attack.

“Prince Aldrich is such a nice person, * Austin mused to himself, having secretly observed the secret interaction between the prince and his followers.

'l think we shall be very good friends."

Then he cleared his throat and jumped into the development that was unfolding.

"Ha-ha-ha!

Yes, yes, I am indeed the one and only Austin from the Fallen Immortal Cosmos!

Come on, all of you!

Today I will grant you all the honor of being in combat with me! I won't even hold back."

He flashed them an ominous grin before shedding his disguise. He then revealed his original look. "Yes!" exclaimed the Heavenly Majestic Pot in excitement.

"No need to hide our true appearance to these bastards!

Let's go then!

Let me show them just how powerful I am!"

Then it, too, removed its camouflage and revealed its original form as a magic treasure.

The rest of Austin's crew trickled in, walking towards him in firm and powerful strides.

Suzie, too, said to his brother, "Baltus, we should fight alongside our friends as well.”

Her brother nodded and they took up their positions, all ready for battle.

"Austin!"

Dempsey sneered, surveying what would soon be their battleground.

"I will witness your death today!"

The air crackled with tension. The participants were like arrows notched and drawn tight, ready for release any time now.

But before anyone could land the first move of attack, a frantic voice rang out.

"What are you doing!

This city is especially provided for the recuperation of the cultivators participating in the trial! Anyone who violates the regulations will be obliterated on the spot!”

It was the lean middle-aged man again, of course appearing out of thin air, and hovering above them all.

Boom!

A horrifying power descended upon the cultivators, like an angry god about to mete punishment to his disobeying creations.

The warriors struggled to remain upright as a gush of wind swept over them.

As the violent wind and energy died down, the cultivators started to quietly slip away from the hall and kept a safe distance from Austin.

Even the people from the four major forces retreated and made no further moves against him. "You're lucky this time!" Dempsey snarled at Austin.

He was visibly seething with fury as he began to walk away.

"Is that so?" Austin called after him. "Wait, are you perhaps suffering from selective memory loss? You lost the bet between us just now.

Kindly keep your word and kowtow to us ten times.

Then give us your jade token and all your points, just as you promised.”

"Don't push your luck!" the earth immortals from the Mu Clan shouted back at him.

The middle-aged man huffed impatiently at their childish display.

"That's enough!

I'll say it again; no fighting allowed in this city!

However," he turned to the young master of the Mu Clan, "I need to remind you that if you are not capable of keeping your word and settling your debts, then you do not have many chances to be chosen by gods."

He gave a meaningful look before disappearing into thin air.

Dempsey shook with frustration, quite taken aback with the man’s parting message.

“That man is likely a conduit to the god; what he said must be true."

And if so, then his purpose in participating in the trial of the Primordial Road, to become the god's successor, would be in vain!

Without any preamble, Dempsey strode to the direction of Violet and fell on his knees.

The earth immortals from his clan cried out in protest.

"No, Young Master Dempsey!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dempsey, young master of the Mu Clan, kowtowed to the ground.

When he was finished, he waved his hand, and his jade token flew towards Violet.

Hundreds of thousands of points flew out of his jade token and into Violet's.

"This is all of my points,” he uttered bitterly.

Then he was on his feet, striding away from the gathered crowd.

"I swear I will kill Austin and this little bitch myself!

I will not stop until they die!"

Violet watched him stomp away, then turned to Austin with a grin.

"Ha-ha! Master, my total points increased more than a hundred thousand!

Looks like the young master of the Mu Clan is really pissed off this time."

Austin mirrored her grin.

"It's not like we had a choice. He brought it upon himself.

He was the one who was dying to provide us a chance to slap his face.

He didn't have to make that bet in the first place.

Come on, everyone! Let's go and see what treasures are worth buying in this city."

He led the way to streets, and his comrades followed behind him.

Violet, on the other hand, skipped beside him, her excitement written all over her face.

"Master, I do believe that all of us in your crew are now the richest among all the participants.”
