The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 498

On the second floor of the Emperor Library, Bruce, Graham and the three strange young men at the Sky Realm from the Ghost Sect had caught the remaining five pieces of grade-7 jade slips of martial arts, just one piece in each one's hands.

As expected, in the process of grabbing the jade slips of martial arts, several small-scale conflicts broke out between both sides.

However, as the duels carried on, it was evident that the sides were evenly matched.

Of the three masters from the Ghost Sect, the man with a scorpion tattoo etched on his head was able to fight against Bruce all by himself.

The two other young men, though being at the Sky Realm, were quite weak in terms of power.

However, with the sheer advantage of being more in number—a ratio of two to one—they could easily combat either Bruce or Graham.

At the end, a compromise was inevitably reached such that each of the five cultivators would grab one grade-7 jade slip of martial arts.

Even though the five men were already at the Sky Realm, there was a flicker of ecstasy in their eyes when they stared at the colorful jade slip in their hands. In the whole Violet Orchid Empire, grade-7 jade slips of martial arts were rare and precious. No wonder they were so excited.

Soon, however, the five men looked at the entrance to the third floor at the same time. Their eyes shined and greed obviously overwhelmed their sensibilities.

As the martial arts handbooks stored on the second floor were grade-7 jade slips of martial arts, it was highly probable that there would be grade-8 jade slips of martial arts on the third floor

Grade 8 martial arts skills were a thing of legend. You could say they were quite mythical because no one had ever seen any.

If they were able to find grade 8 martial arts skills, it would be incredible and frankly extraordinary.

The five men at the Sky Realm darted toward the entrance to the third floor at the same time, as if a puppeteer had decided it was the time to move.

They reached the room together. However, none of them was willing to work in a team.

Inside the room, a constantly rotating black vortex was the only entity that they could perceive. At the deep end of the vortex, they watched Austin's glimmering back disappearing gradually.

The black vortex had a spatial power fluctuation emanating from it that the five men immediately sensed. The power fluctuation was nothing but the power of space transmission.

This vortex was used for teleportation.

Bruce, Graham and the three men from the Ghost Sect were all acquainted with it. They put two and two together and realized that Austin would have teleported himself using the black vortex.

The room looked empty to the five at first notice. However, if the vortex was conjured up specifically to enter somewhere, where there were incredible treasures, the five didn't want to lag behind.

They scrambled to the middle of the black swirl and attempted to enter it.

However, they were too late. Just as they reached the vortex, flying at their maximum speed, Austin's dim figure had already disappeared. Instantly, the two-meter-high black vortex vanished out of sight.

The room had only a faint remnant of spatial power left behind.

"Damn it! We are too late!"

Graham cursed. He had a famously short temper.

Meanwhile, the rest held a gloomy look on their face.

They extensively searched the room but found nothing.

The five took turns to search, just in case someone missed out on something. Yet, other than a picture on the wall, there was nothing substantial.

In the process of searching, Bruce and Graham did not fight against the three men from the Ghost Sect. They could only glanced questioningly at each other.
