The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1479

In particular, as a dark horse of the Martial Arts Tournament, Austin attracted most of the attention from the audience. It was surprising that his strength was only at the preliminary stage of Semi-holy Realm but he could kill the opponents at the premium stage of Holy Realm. Most of the audience was staring intently at him. They were looking forward to witnessing how much further improvement Austin could make in the following competitions.

Austin and Belle's performance had been great. Aside from them, there were several other contestants whose performance was amazing. What was worth to mention was that a few young warriors had demonstrated the strength of Semi-emperor Realm.

The majority of the audience had regarded them secretly as the best candidates included in their personal top ten picks.

Even those prestigious people seated at the luxury grandstand midair on the east side of the competition venue were amazed. They were the representatives of the major sects from the East Mainland, including the three Holy Lands. They nodded from time to time to show how pleased they were with this year's Martial Arts Tournament held by the Solamnia Kingdom. It was truly wonderful! What made them more delighted was that they had found quite a lot of young candidates with great potential. If they could receive them as their disciples, they would become the future elite of their respective sects after they were well-trained. It was guaranteed from what they showcased earlier.

Finally, the seventh round of the competition was over. The previous rounds had already eliminated most of the contestants.

After seven rounds, only thirty players out of the three thousand contestants were left to advance further. These thirty players had all proved themselves deserving. Thus, it was not difficult to imagine how fierce the competition had been and was going to be. Sure, it would be fiercer in the next rounds.

Both Austin and Belle had successfully entered the top thirty. They would both advance to the next rounds.

Meanwhile, Ladd also made it to the top thirty.

'Austin, without any doubt, you will die in the next round!'

Ladd thought irritably, staring at Austin with murderous intent in his eyes. He had wanted Austin to get eliminated in the previous rounds.

The upcoming eighth round would further reduce the number of players who would make it to the end. It would determine the players who would be included in the top fifteen.

The top fifteen players would be given the opportunity to join the East Mainland's top sects! No one dared to miss such a good opportunity! Everyone would be restless until they won that round.

It didn't take long until the eighth round of the competition finally started.

Buzz!

The jade slip in Austin's hand buzzed with a flash of light, projecting the number eight. It meant that Austin's competition would take place at the eighth battle ring.

At the same time, the jade slip in Belle's hand also lit up. It projected the number twelve. Belle puffed out a breath. She felt relieved that her opponent was not Austin. She saw that they had different numbers.

Before they left for the battle, Belle looked at Austin with a smile on her beautiful and charming face. Her face lit up and she gestured to Austin.

"Fighting!" she said to Austin, with encouragement in her eyes.

Then, within a blink of an eye, she disappeared abruptly and flew towards the twelfth battle ring, leaving only a fragrant breeze behind.

"Be careful,"

Caroline whispered worriedly to Austin.

Austin turned back and smiled warmly at her. He then flew to the eighth battle ring after he nodded at Caroline.

"It turns out that this time my opponent is you!"

Austin was a bit surprised by the figure at first as he landed on the battle ring. However, soon his surprised look disappeared and was replaced by a light smile.

It turned out that Ladd was his opponent and he already stood on the battle ring. He had been waiting for his arrival.

"I won't deny that you really surprised me a lot. However, your journey at the Tournament will end here now.

This round, no matter what happens, you definitely will be killed by me,"

Ladd said slowly. His eyes reflected his murderous intent as he stared coldly and sharply at Austin. The look he gave was enough to send shivers down somebody else's spine.

Once he finished speaking, the audience saw that his hands were gently closed together and placed in front of his chest. They were staring at Ladd as he formed a strange handprint.

Then, in a short moment, every pore in his body was oozing out blood continuously. It soon covered all over his body, making him completely wrapped in the blood that looked like his new skin. Never had the audience seen such a scene before. They just felt so weird and crept out at what they had witnessed. Moments later, they all sensed a formidable, fierce and brutal vital energy that was exuding from him.

As a result, many of them couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. They were surprised but at the same time anticipating what would happen next.

Austin's eyes widened at that moment. He was stunned by Ladd's sudden change. The latter no longer looked human anymore. Anyone would feel that it was a wise decision to stay far away from this dangerous opponent right now.

While Austin was staring at Ladd's transformation shockingly, there was a sudden depressing roar that burst out from Ladd's throat. It sounded as if he was experiencing some kind of excruciating pain.

Bang!

After that soft and light bang, the blood in Ladd's body began to burn. It formed a bundle of blood-red eerie flames that started wrapping around his body.

"Ho-ho!" Ladd suddenly burst out a few shrieks of throaty laughter. His blood-shot eyes, like the eyes of a fierce beast, were now staring intensely at Austin.

"This is the Blood Combustion Skill that had been lost for a long time. My grandfather inadvertently got it in an ancient cave. He soon passed it to me.
