The Supreme God

Just as Billy and Marvin caught up to the guy and had him surrounded, they could finally see his face and recognize who it was
they had been chasing all this while. To their utter astonishment, it was Austin they had been plotting to kill.
They stood transfixed in fear, not having expected to come across Austin like this before they had set their plan in motion. They
had seen how Austin had defeated Timothy in the Top Ten Outer Disciples Challenge and they doubted that they could take him
down by themselves.
"How's it going, brothers? It's been a while since we met," Austin greeted them, a mocking smile on his face.
It had been Austin's plan to lure them out of the darkness. Even before he had overheard their conversation, he had known that
these people were conspiring to harm him. And now, he had proof of their conspiracy. Tonight might be the time to end them
once and for all. As to strength, Austin did not think it difficult to kill them considering that his cultivation base was much stronger
than theirs.
"Austin, what do you mean making us come here in the middle of the night?"
Marvin barked, scowling and vindictive.
But as he assessed the situation, Marvin had a revelation. As much as Austin was strong and competent and was at level nine of
the Energy Gathering Realm, he himself wasn't bad at strength. He was at the same level as Austin but the only difference
between them was that Austin was a tad superior because he had acknowledged the level two sword intent and obtained a
tougher and stronger fist force.
But Marvin had his own strengths as well. He knew fighting Austin by himself was stupid, so he enlisted Billy's help to implement
his wish. Although Billy wasn't as strong as Austin, he wasn't completely useless. He was at level eight of the Energy Gathering
Realm, only one level below Austin and Marvin, which was why Marvin believed that Billy could be of much help to him.
Combining Billy's and his strengths gave Marvin the hope that they could take Austin down.
After balancing the pros and cons of the situation in his head, Marvin began to become relaxed and a little cocky. He lifted his
head to look at Austin in defiance.
"Are you kidding me? What do I mean? I could ask you the same question. You two were plotting against me and talking about
killing me in the middle of the night like ugly sewer rats. Now that I am right here in front of you, shouldn't you be pleased that
you don't have to waste your time and energy looking for me?" Austin said sardonically.
The look on their faces had him burst into laughter. He was clearly enjoying their being made a fool of.

Now that Austin had known what they were up to, it was pointless to pretend that Marvin and Billy weren't looking to harm him.
And a fight was definitely on the cards.
Furious at Austin's indifference and fearlessness, Marvin wiped off the awkwardness from his demeanor and steeled himself.
"You are right," he said viciously. "You saved us from trouble by just having the nerve to challenge us here. I won't try to deny
anything now that I know that you overheard us. I want you dead. It is true. You are nothing but a stupid, cowardly, despicable
creature in my opinion. You played your dirty trick on Beast Mountain and stole away more than twenty of my best earth spirit
fruits.
And you expect me not to hate you? I was planning to achieve the vital energy Earth Realm with the help of those fruits. You
ruined my plan and disgraced me, you son of a bitch!
How dare you make fun of us now? I could never sleep in peace without taking revenge, without watching you die. Only your
death can bring me peace and fulfill my wish!"
Marvin's face twisted in hate as the memory of the past came pouring forth. The ire in his eyes crackled dangerously as if it could
flare up and burn Austin to the ground at any moment.
Austin's smile had long vanished, replaced by repulsion at the hideous viciousness on Marvin's face. He knew he would throw up
in disgust if he listened to more of Marvin's depraved words.
"How on earth does a despicable person like you exist? Who told you that they were your earth spirit fruits? When on Beast
Mountain, we all fought hard and fought together as members of the Evil Ape Hunting Team. That is why we were able to defeat
those two evil apes at the time. Every single one of us made efforts in the cause, or the beasts could have killed us!
Obtaining those fruits meant that it was reasonable for all the members of the Evil Ape Hunting Team to own those earth spirit
fruits together. But to our extreme disappointment, you were selfish and wanted to keep them to yourself. Plus, in order to
achieve your purpose, you butchered three members of the team mercilessly. And now you have the gall to come after me for
those fruits?
It sounds absolutely ridiculous that you mention the fruits after the sin you have committed. Haven't you got the slightest sense of
shame, you total bastard? Don't you have any dignity?" Austin raged. As he paused to catch his breath, he came to a decision.
"I think it's time to finish this. I will kill you and I will avenge the three members of the team. Today is your last day on earth."

Then, Austin pulled out his Violet Royal Sword from its sheath. As it emerged, the sword zinged, and a strong, chilly sword
radiance emanated from the blade.
Austin had had enough of Marvin and Billy's trying to ruin his reputation and trying to kill him. He wanted this to end today.
Ready to slaughter, Austin raised the sword high up in the air. His eyes flared with two rays of sharp, terrifying gaze, reflecting
the wrath that swirled in his head against the two men. A gust of mysterious sword aura emerged from the sword, circling it with
increasing gust. The level two sword intent began to unfold before Marvin's and Billy's eyes.
When Austin's vital energy began transmitting to the Violet Royal Sword like water flowing from one end to another, the sword
glinted golden under the clear white moonlight. Seeing that Austin had conveyed his desire to the Violet Royal Sword and that he
had resolved to kill them, they knew that they were destined to fight to death tonight.
"Let's fight him with all our might! Don't give him the chance to fight back. Doing so would be our downfall because we may not
be able to withstand his attack, especially his fists," Marvin reminded Billy, his eyes fixed on Austin.
Marvin clapped suddenly and began to gather his vital energy between his hands as he circled them before him. The vital energy
turned earthly yellow and the smell of soil was soon assaulting their senses.
As the color of Marvin's vital energy became darker and the smell became thicker, thunder and lightning began to appear.
Flashes of lightning whirled around Marvin's hands like snakes, while the thunder roared and clattered. Within seconds,
hundreds of palm projections had spouted from the swirl of vital energy.
The Giant Magic Palm was Marvin's strongest skill. After the palm projections were released, he activated his level one palm
intent and transferred his intention and vital energy to the palm projections. Within moments, the palm projections began to
enlarge and glowed with a strong, bright light.
Beside him, Billy was also displaying the skill he excelled at. Gathering his vital energy, he clenched his hands, causing the long
spear he was carrying on his back to shoot out and reach his hand.
