The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 1803

Austin, Violet, and the gnome headed for the imperial capital city of the Flame Kingdom. But their journey was interrupted in between by a shout.

"Sir, Miss, you must leave as quickly as possible. Let us handle them."

An anxious shout suddenly reached their ears and they stopped in their paths.

Then Austin saw a group of people rushing towards them from the woods in front of them. They were looking rather embarrassed.

The group consisted of about a hundred members and they were being led by an old man.

Judging by their clothes, they were from the same sect.

The old man clad in grey and evidently the strongest and the thinnest of them all was walking at the end of the line, urging the people in front to speed up.

"Elder Spencer, no! We should run together.

I cannot leave you alone to fight the enemy."

There was a young man and a young woman — both well-dressed — in the line, and apparently they were protected by the others of the group.

"Sorry sir! Sorry miss! We have no other choice. I'll only slow you down and if we move at such a low pace, they'll catch us pretty soon and none of us will make it out of here alive.

You are the only remaining children of our leader, and with you lie the hopes of the future of our Merry Gang. We need you to escape.

You must try and find a place to hide.

You'll rebuild the Merry Gang someday in the future,"

the old man replied sadly.

"And you, you must do your best to assist them.

You're the only remaining members of our Merry Gang.

In fact, you all are the elite disciples of our Merry Gang. Our gang has been treating you very well over the last few years and it's time to prove that worth. You must carry out your duties conscientiously and protect the two of them,"

the old man told the others.

"Yes, Elder Spencer! We will do our best to protect them and will never turn our back on the Merry Gang. Our loyalties lie with you,"

the rest of them responded in unison and assured the old man. Even with their resolve, they looked sad and their eyes were red.

"Very well.

Now, get out of here as soon as possible.

I will cover you and distract the enemy. I hope you make it out of here safely,"

the old man in gray urgently told them to run.

"It's too late.

I am not going to let a single person of your Merry Gang escape.

Humph! Traitors! You betrayed the empire. The emperor explicitly issued an edict that you must enter the imperial capital city and accept the arrangements of the royal family. All you had to was follow the king. And yet...

How dare you run away without permission!

You must be sentenced to death!"

Suddenly, a cold voice resounded in the air, and a tall figure appeared in the distance.

He was wearing a gilded armor and a solemn expression. There was the dignified look of a general on his face.

"Hurry up! Run!"

the old man shouted fretfully as he saw the general. His face had changed dramatically.

Then, he stretched out his hands, and ten streams of powerful vital energy rushed out of his fingertips in an instant.

Each of these streams morphed into one of several kinds of diabolic beasts that existed in the world. A tiger, leopard, wolf, and seven other beasts attacked the general. They raised their heads and roared at the sky. This was going to be a powerful fight.

"What are you waiting for? Run!"

the old man roared at the people of the Merry Gang as he launched his attack.

"Take care, Elder Spencer."

The young man and the young woman, who were being called sir and miss by the old man in grey, gritted their teeth and then ran away with the others. The woman was constantly looking back to see if the elder was okay.

"Oh that's okay. They can't escape anyway,"

the general announced with a playful smile. He stretched out his hand, and a shiny iron spear appeared in his hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Within seconds of its appearance, the spear rushed out of the general's hands and targeted the old man.

Ah!

In a single move, the old man was stabbed in the shoulder and a wound as big as a bowl appeared on his shoulder. The velocity was so much that he was thrown away immediately.

The general then walked towards the old man and lifted him up from his collars.

For some reason, he did not go after the people of the Merry Gang, and merely sneered at them. They were fleeing quickly yet here he was, holding the old man with his collars.

"Hah! Not a single one of you will escape today. In no way possible!"

All of a sudden, a young man, who was clad in a shadowy black appeared out of nowhere and ran towards the Merry Gang. He was so fast that he blocked their way instantly.

"Master, those people are from the Ji Clan. Shall we go over to help?"

Violet asked Austin.

"Wait a minute."

Austin held her back.
