The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin didn't turn to attack the other brigands. Instead, he tapped the ground with his big toe and started summoning his Wind-commanding Skill. At the same time, he took out a few array flags from his Space Ring.

It had been a long time since he had used the Four-sided and Eight Trigrams. Now, fighting against the brigands, was a good chance to use them again and to see exactly how powerful they were.

One by one, Austin arranged the array flags in their formation.

The flags began to activate the vital energy around them, spreading it in waves and then disappearing as if nothing had happened at all.

But Miller, who was watching Austin, felt the tremors of Austin's behavior. He shouted to his group, "Stop him! Stop the young man!" More brigands charged towards Austin.

But Austin was using his Wind-commanding Skill, and that prevented the brigands from catching up with him. They were unable to even touch Austin's clothes, letting alone stopping him.

Austin was moving rapidly, throwing the array flags as he moved. He was unstoppable.

And soon, all the array flags had taken their places.

With strange, keening sounds, the space enclosed by the flags began to distort. The light began to change, its rays interlacing with each other. The array flags had now become the ends of the rays.

The light was given off from the array flags and connected to each other profoundly.

After the last light connection had been made, Austin found that the vital energy within this space had begun to flow much faster than before.

The air was shimmering with a faint light that gradually lightened, and disappeared altogether. If one didn't pay attention, it couldn't be sensed at all.

But Miller was a cultivator of the Earth Realm, and he did notice it. Pulling the reins of his horse, he turned around and rushed towards Austin, roaring as he did so.

Austin's face split into a sarcastic smile as he saw the man charging towards him.

"So you're going to come and stop me now? It's too late!" he said. Thanks to the main array flag in this hand, Austin knew that the array had been successfully set up even before Miller made it to him.

And through that same main flag, Austin found that he could clearly understand how the array operated, how the vital energy was distributed, and the attacking method. As long as he waved the main array flag in his hand, he could start all kinds of attacks.

"Mindy, Violet, come back. It's time to see my show!"

Austin called to the two girls who were fiercely fighting the brigands. He was so excited to start the array. The last time he had used the Four- sided and the Right Trigrams Array to fight against the cultivators from the Flaming Sun Valley, and the array's power had been very impressive. Austin wondered If it would be as powerful now as it had been this time.

Violet and Mindy returned to Austin’s side at his words.

Austin threw Miller a vicious look before waving the main array flag at him.

"Start the array!"

Austin stepped into his position and the vital energy within him erupted and flowed into the main array flag. He let out a mighty bellow while waving it.

The space began to deform as rays of light appeared out of thin air. The vital energy gathered together.

Complicated patterns were connected to each other, causing strong vital energy currents. The Four-sided and Eight Trigrams Array was activated, giving off tremendous vital energy force and blanketing all the brigands of the Black Mountain Fortress.

Austin soon realized that the Array he was using could cover a radius of 500 meters. No matter how many people were there, if they were within 500 meters, they would all be trapped within the array.

The brigands were now sufficiently frightened and panicking as they saw that the surrounding view had changed. They couldn't now see any of the tress, hills, grass, and even the road that they could see earlier. Everything had become invisible. They could only see the thick white mist swirling around them.

The fog prevented the sunlight and isolated them from everything.

As the array started its effect and abnormal visions began, every brigand was panicking. They ran in directions they didn't understand, sticking their weapons in whoever was around them. And within minutes, a number of them had died, thanks indirectly to the fog. "Don't panic!" Miller called out to his people. "This is only an array that we've been trapped within. Everybody, listen to me and follow my orders. We can conquer it if we fight harder!"

After all, he was at the Earth Realm and knew much more than others. He realized that just moments ago, the young man was setting up the array. And now, he was trapped within it because of his own carelessness.

"You're too weak to conquer the array. Stop daydreaming! My array has an endless power that you cannot even imagine having! It would be a miracle if you can conquer my array!" Austin said, his confidence soaring and his smile widening.

Violet had known the power of the Four-sided and Eight Trigrams Array and wasn't surprised at Austin's ability to set it up. But it was Mindy's first time watching the array being set up. She watched, stunned, as the activated array induced the brigands of the Black Mountain Fortress to go berserk and run around like flies. No matter what they did, they were trapped inside it without a chance of escape.

Mindy hadn't known that Austin could set up such a powerful array.

As she gazed at Austin in awe, her eyes flashed with a wide range of emotions, the foremost being surprise. He always managed to surprise her, no matter the situation.

"Well, well, pretty Mindy! Have you fallen in love with my master?" Violet teased Mindy from beside her. "If yes, then take the chance and tell him!"

It was an ode to how close the two girls had grown after fighting shoulder to shoulder twice.
