The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 493

"Well. It all depends on whether or not any one of you have the ability to defeat me. I am totally confident that none of you are powerful enough to defeat me. On the contrary, I am afraid that you will be killed in this fight.

However you don't be too afraid of my words for I am not going to tear your souls apart and render them useless. Soul, the most precious thing for cultivators, shouldn't be wasted. Instead, I will use them to refine the Ghost Devouring Flag.

I am sure that my Ghost-devouring Flag will upgrade to a higher level once it has absorbed your souls."

The demonic youth who had a scorpion tattoo on his face said these things in a cold tone and burst into a shrill laughter on being faced by Tolkien's aggressive manner.

Hardly had he finished his words when his right hand suddenly stretched out and very soon, a thick blanket of black smog erupted from his palm. As the smog spread quickly around him, he was soon enveloped by it in mere seconds. Now, the only thing that could give away his location was the black smog but where exactly did he lay in that smog, no one could tell.

Seconds later, a burst of vital energy force surged out of the smog and turned into the shape of a demon's paw. Anyone would have run in the face of such danger. The paw was as high as thirty meters. Suddenly, it pounced on Graham.

The evil man wanted to raid Graham unawares!

'Is that the Ghost-devouring Flag? It looks like the same black smog I faced while fleeing the Ghost Sect. It's really shameful that someone is using the Ghost-devouring Flag in this event!'

Austin felt a sudden rush of panic as he thought about this. Since the black smog didn't seem to be dissipating, he inferred that the demonic young man was most probably using the Ghost Devouring Flag.

'Can it be that they are from the Ghost Sect? Wait a minute, there are from the Ghost Sect!

It is unbelievable that disciples of the Ghost Sect have shown up in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games!'

Austin pondered over it for a moment. His mind told him that it was highly improbable that the Ghost Sect would dispatch its disciples to take part in the Outstanding Talents Exchange Games. It was well-known that they were the archenemy of all major and minor sects in Violet Orchid Empire. Even if that wasn't enough, disciples of the Ghost Sect were not allowed to enter the Mysterious Nether World.

However, the Ghost-devouring Flag belonged to the Ghost Sect and no one else outside that sect could have controlled it. Even Austin had been taught a lesson by the Ghost-devouring Flag, and it left a vivid impression upon him. Perhaps that was why his first thought on seeing the smog was about the Ghost Devouring Flag.

"How dare you!"

Graham was pissed off by his opponent's despicable means. He reached out his hands and a golden spear suddenly appeared between them. Then he stepped forward and bayoneted at that black smog with all his strength. He wielded his spear tirelessly, and every strike clad in golden lines pierced the smog. That so called "demon's paw" was suffering violent attacks now.

Seconds later, a rumbling sound was heard and it echoed through the arena. Then, a strong wind arose from where the spear was attacking the smog. It formed a whirlwind, and blew outside. As its gust swept across the hall, everyone in the hall felt a sort of rustling in their clothes. Some members of the audience, whose cultivation bases weren't high enough, lost their balance and embarrassedly tried to maintain their dignity by taking a few steps back.

Right below the point of impact, marble pieces which had lined the floor broke apart and were thrown across the entire hall.

The two contestants, both with a cultivation base at the stage of Sky Realm were putting on a spectacular show and had imposing manners.

Austin was worried now that he was no match for these cultivators who were at the stage of Sky Realm. He could clearly sense the intense vital energy fluctuations of these contestants and it wasn't going to be easy to defeat them. In fact, he wasn't sure he could.

Austin thought that he was the strongest cultivator in the Mysterious Realm and could bully anyone who was at the same level. In fact, he wasn't even afraid of cultivators at the premium stage of Mysterious Realm. To him, any opponent in the same realm was easy to be defeated.
