The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 553

"Aha, you're really nimble on your feet!" the old man appeared behind the blood-red palm and snorted half-surprised and half-angry at his opponent.

He frowned and measured up the young man in front of him.

Suddenly, the palm whooshed by Austin's head with a gale of vital energy force savage in its attack.

Austin had no time to lose.

He quickly summoned the sword of vital energy and in a heartbeat, a sizzling sound buzzed.

The vital energy sword with searing flames ready to lick his opponent was in his hand. Austin charged at the blood-red palm with all his energy.

"Bang!"

The mighty sword of the vital energy collided with the scathing blood-red palm. They wrangled with blazing energy, hungry for triumph.

'Aah!' Austin winced. He felt a sharp stabbing vital energy force striking at him and his redoubtable sword.

Bang!

Before Austin could blink or realize a thing, one third of the blade of his sword was crushed, and the flames burning on the remaining blade flickered fighting the pressure for a few more seconds before dying down.

Under the impact, Austin staggered a few meters back and had no time to even pause to look at the old man. His chest burnt with the thumping blood as if it was about to explode.

But as Austin reeled from the attack, the power of the blood-red palm began to diminish. Sparkling clusters of the golden flames burst on the palm.

The old man was shocked. Still, with his presence of mind, he straight away collected his vital energy force into the palm to extinguish the flames.

Austin on the other hand, gazed at the remaining two third blade of the vital energy sword, and seriously started to consider his next move.

When the old man had attacked, Austin realized his miscalculation. No, of course, the old man's cultivation base wasn't just at Sky Realm, but a level higher. He was an Imperial Realm cultivator!

With a round of sparring between them, Austin knew in all honesty that he was no match for his opponent when it came to the strength of the vital energy force.

While Austin was recovering from the blow the old man had dealt him, the old man too was shaking his head in disbelief.

This just wasn't what he thought Austin was capable of. He had never expected the young man to be able to put up such strong a fight and escape unscathed. Rather than getting wounded in the process, all Austin did in the end, was step back by a few steps!

"Not bad at all young man! But all this is useless. You will die today!" the old man shouted in anger.

Austin didn't care to react. Quietly, he summoned his vital energy and injected it into his sword. In just a few seconds, the sword was invigorated back to its original length and its golden flames burnt higher than before.

And then, the same vital energy sword appeared in his left palm as well.

Austin raised both his swords slowly, leaving a trail of blaze behind. The two pointed rays of fire pointed at the old man in menace.

"Ha! This is no threat at all! These are just two swords transformed by your vital energy. They are likely to shatter in a minute."

The old man sneered at Austin. He didn't seem to care. Although, a look at the swords' flames had him in dread. They flared in fury and a power so strong that despite the old man being of the Imperial Realm, his palm had almost been burnt by them!

The old man felt challenged in every way. Enraged, he wanted to see Austin meet his end in utter devastation.

With his powers stoked, raging vital energy force began to flow from his body that pumped the blood in his arm violently. The old man grabbed his throbbing palm and gave it a tight squeeze. Instantly, an ominous serrated knife jutted out from his end that sliced the air with whooshing sounds.

This time, the old man's vital energy force was far much stronger than before.

He moved his palm just an inch and the blood-red serrated knife came down for Austin's head at a lighting speed.

The old man showed no mercy. As the serrated knife rushed towards Austin, the old man sent out a hurricane of dazzling energy. With his vast experience in combat, the old man knew when to apply which strategy best.

An attack like this from an Imperial Realm cultivator was far from the ordinary. It was like an elephantine snake slithering around Austin, trying to crush him under its body.
