The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 3096 Flying Swordsmanship

In the following days, Austin temporarily stayed within the headquarters of the Emerald Sect.

The three superior elders held luxurious banquets every day to entertain Austin, and they did it with utmost enthusiasm.

From time to time, the superior elders would ask Austin about the martial arts skills and cultivation methods that he had learned.

They had no idea what even happened when Austin previously attacked them.

As he grew kind of impatient, Austin gave in and performed a little bit of some secret martial arts that he had acquired. The three elders looked stunned as they witnessed these amazing skills. These secret martial arts skills didn't belong to any sect and were too complex for them to grasp. Austin was known for only practicing and acquiring the most powerful secret skills.

After he had demonstrated these secret skills in public, the superior elders were greatly appalled. "Austin, your swordsmanship is so much powerful than ours!"

One of the superior elders couldn't contain his excitement after seeing Austin display the Sword Compressing Skill.

"Is that so?

But you're sect is famous for having a brilliant swordsmanship skill. Let me have a look so we can compare,”

Austin responded as he tried to take the opportunity.

Austin knew that the Emerald Sect's swordsmanship skills were pretty good—especially the Flying Swordsmanship.

In fact, there was already a record of the Flying Swordsmanship in the ancient times of the Brilliant Kingdom. It was said that the ancient sword immortals could even fly with their swords and kill a person from thousands of miles away.

After returning to Earth, Austin had briefly witnessed the Flying Swordsmanship by the Heavenly Mountain Sect and the Emerald Sect.

This unique skill was apparently an inheritance passed throughout the Brilliant Kingdom.

Austin had been yearning for this swordsmanship as soon as he saw it. Now that he had the chance to study it carefully, he thought that he might be able to grasp it.

The superior elders were pretty sure that Austin's swordsmanship was far superior to their own, so they didn't hesitate when Austin asked them to demonstrate the skill. Furthermore, there was no need to worry about Austin stealing the skill by simply watching since he didn't know the cultivation method.

Finally, the superior elders demonstrated all their sword skills to Austin.

One of the elders stretched out his hand and patted his waist. A long snow-white sword immediately shot out. The sword seemed to have a life of its own, like a wriggling wild serpent. Austin could feel that the flying sword had been integrated with the spirit and vitality of the elder. It was being driven through his thoughts.

When the three superior elders came to him just now, they were standing on the flying swords. “Slash!”

This superior elders stretched out his hand and pointed his finger. The sword suddenly shot out and cut off an ancient pine that was about half a mile away. The huge pine fell off and made a loud rumbling sound as it smacked on the ground.

"That's awesome!"

Austin sincerely praised the display of skill.

"Ha-ha, you flatter us. This swordsmanship must be nothing compared to yours,”

the superior elder responded while laughing.

To them, the swordsmanship that Austin performed was a thousand times more powerful than their Flying Swordsmanship.

However, Austin still believed that the Flying Swordsmanship was an exquisite sword skill.

The only problem he saw was that the cultivation base of the superior elders was too weak to fully comprehend the power of the skill.

More importantly, he discerned that the power of the Flying Swordsmanship must be proportional to the power of the spiritual sense.

The cultivator needed to control the flying sword with his or her mind, thus it required to integrate the power of the spiritual sense.

As Mysterious Realm warriors, the superior elders had just begun to possess and utilize their spiritual senses. It meant that compared to Austin, theirs were pathetically weak.

Therefore, the elders weren't aware that they couldn't fully utilize the great strength of the skill. Austin knew this and imagined how different it would be if he was the one who mastered it.

With Austin's incredible spiritual sense, coupled with his cultivation base on swordsmanship, vital energy, and understanding of the laws, he would certainly be able to bring the power of the Flying Swordsmanship to an unimaginable level.

He would then be able to kill someone from a hundred million miles away with this skill

That was the reason why Austin was completely interested in the Flying Swordsmanship of the Emerald Sect.

"Well, we can always learn from each other. If you don't mind, I have a request. How about exchanging one of my swordsmanship skills for the Flying Swordsmanship?”

Austin got straight to the point.

"What do you mean by exchange?"

The three elders were quite shocked

"I'll give you a set of swordsmanship and a sword.”

Austin waved his hand and took out a long sword. It was shining with various laws.

It turned out that this sword previously belonged to a sect ancestor.

Austin wasn't exactly being generous, but he didn't have a lower-level sword that he could offer. This one was the lowest-grade in his arsenal.

That was how great Austin’s possessions were.

The elders stood astonished when they saw the sword that Austin brought out.

The terrifying energy emanating from the sword was like a burning sun. They couldn't even get near it to have a closer look

They realized the huge gap in terms of their strength. They were merely warriors of the Mysterious Realm who were almost nothing in the face of a magnanimous sword at the sect ancestor level "Young man, this sword seems to be too much for us. We can't even get close!"

The superior elders kept their distance as they were too frightened at the terrifying energy being released by the sword in Austin’s hand.

"Oh, right.”

Austin used a secret skill to suppress the power being emitted by the sword.

"It should be fine now,"

Austin said calmly.

Then the three elders took turns in handling and observing the sword as if they had obtained the most precious treasure. They were so delighted by it.

"As long as we have this mighty sword, our strength will drastically increase and we can now defeat the other super sects!"

The superior elders instantly agreed and consented to bestow the Flying Swordsmanship to Austin in exchange for Austin's sword.

Austin then officially handed the sword and the Illusory Swordsmanship to the superior elders.

He had obtained the Illusory Swordsmanship when he was still in the Sun Sect. At that time, he got it from the Peace Town's Ganges Auction House.

The elders were thrilled in excitement as they also received the Illusory Swordsmanship.

Compared to the Flying Swordsmanship, the Illusory Swordsmanship was actually more suitable for warriors like them with a relatively weak spiritual sense.

Austin felt very satisfied with the acquisition of the Flying Swordsmanship. He immediately excused himself to find a quiet place for meditation.

All in all, it could be said that both sides were very satisfied with the result of the deal.

Meanwhile, the sect leader of the Emerald Sect had finished cultivating after more than ten days in seclusion.

He was wearing a black robe and carried a long sword on his back. It turned out that he was at the premium stage of the Earth Realm.

As soon as he came out, a disciple told him that there was a young man who started a big fight against their sect, and even their superior elders got involved.

Once he heard of this, the sect leader angrily rushed and searched for Austin. When he saw him, he wasted no time and tried to ambush him while he was focused on his cultivation.

However, to his surprise, Austin didn't even open his eyes yet easily deflected all of his attacks. The three superior elders were shocked as they heard the news. They quickly rushed to the scene, stopped the sect leader, and apologized to Austin for the sect leader's actions.

The sect leader was scolded furiously by the superior leaders. Just then, he realized how fearsome the man he tried to assault was. After that, he sincerely apologized to Austin in person.

Austin didn't really mind the actions of the sect leader. He just wanted to finish his cultivation as soon as possible.

After another twenty days, Austin was still meditating but was making great progress with his cultivation.

Suddenly, a dazzling long sword soared and stopped mid-air. It was emitting a never-before-seen aura that was earth-shaking.

The sword seemed like a vicious dragon, floating in the sky above the Emerald Sect. It would vigorously rotate, swing, and even slash the air.

Where the sword passed, a thunderous sound was heard. Tens of thousands of bright sword auras spread at the back of the sword. It was like an elite fighter craft zooming across the sky.

What was more terrifying was its cutting ability—it could easily cut the space into halves and leave a dark space crack.

The sword kept flying back and forth above the Emerald Sect for nearly two hours. It was as if it had a soul of its own, and was kind of cranky from being awakened.

All the people in the Emerald Sect, including the superior elders and the sect leader, were dumbfounded at the scene.

"Is this really the same Flying Swordsmanship we know? In such a short time, he cultivated the skill to a degree that no one has ever seen or even imagined!"

"This guy truly has an amazing supernatural power that can only be found in the ancient books." "From now on, we should make sure to develop a closer relationship with him. We should please him as much as we can.

Most of all, we must not anger him!"

the superior leaders discussed by themselves.

They were all thinking of making Austin an ally of their sect because of his inconceivable powers. A month later, the superior elders and the sect leader visited Austin at the site where he was cultivating in seclusion. They broke the news to Austin that the Martial Arts Meeting held in the Karakoram Mountain was about to begin, and they already needed to prepare.

Austin got up and set off with the superior elders, the sect leader, and some top disciples of the Emerald Sect.
