The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1604

After refining the bronze furnace, Austin suddenly spotted a tiny black flame inside it. It was quite unnoticeable but Austin's keen eyes did not miss it.

'Is this the Black Hell Fire?'

Austin wondered, staring at the flame curiously.

He recalled the sea of black fire that came out from the bronze furnace. 'I can't believe this tiny flame is the source of the vast and deadly fire, ' he thought seriously.

He studied the furnace for some more time before putting it aside.

'This bronze furnace is extremely powerful. I'll figure out how to use it later. Perhaps it will become one of my trump cards, ' he wondered gladly.

Swoosh!

A figure flew towards Austin from the distance. In a flash, the Peacock Princess appeared in front of him.

"He got away.

I didn't expect him to learn a secret skill which enables him to move incredibly fast. He activated that skill at the cost of his life vitality and shook me off!"

Peacock Princess said furiously.

Austin was also displeased to hear that Marcus had fled.

"We need to get out of here. I bet the people of the Ji Family will be here any moment,"

Peacock Princess said with a frown on her worried face.

"You have a good point. Let's go," Austin agreed and followed her advice.

'Once the members of the Ji Family come to know that the Peacock Princess was seen here, they will make it here soon, ' he thought.

Austin and the girls from the beast race left the place in a hurry.

Meanwhile, a beam of black light moved forward rapidly, a few hundred kilometers away from them.

It was Marcus who was enveloped by the light. To get rid of the Peacock Princess, who was following him, he had displayed a secret skill. The skill helped him increase his speed to great levels. He also paid a heavy price for his successful escape. He had to consume his life vitality to activate the skill.

As time elapsed, he became weaker and weaker.

Despite that, he forced himself to keep moving. A couple of hours later, he finally saw the city ahead of him.

"Skyline City!" Marcus murmured to himself.

His mind was set at ease as he saw the city. His uncle Albert was in that city.

As he lowered his defenses, he started to feel dizzy. Exhaustion came over him.

He had been seriously injured yet he had consumed much of his life vitality in order to free himself from the Peacock Princess' chase.

At this point, he was nearly dying.

Marcus felt that he couldn't hold on any longer. He was going to die any moment.

Hence, he took out a Contact Jade Slip and quickly sent a message to Albert.

"Help, Uncle Albert!" he said in a weak voice.

After that he blacked out. He had fallen just outside the city gates.

Moments later, some cultivators spotted Marcus who had become unconscious with pain and exhaustion.

"He looks familiar," someone among the cultivators remarked.

"He is the core member of the Ji Family—Marcus Ji!" another one identified him.

"Yes! It's him! I have seen him several times," another recollected.

Many of them recognized Marcus who had fallen down the sky, which was unknown to them.

"What happened to him? Why has he got such severe injuries? Who dared to do this to him? Is he not afraid of the Ji Family?"

someone kept raising questions.

'The Ji Family is an influential force in the East Mainland.
