The Supreme God novel Chapter 269

Austin slapped Merlin, one of the inner disciples, on the face, successfully irritating the latter. Merlin practiced his Demonic Bone-chilling Claw, intending to kill Austin.

By doing this, Austin wanted to test the second stage of his Overlord Body-refining Formula which he had just succeeded in completing not long ago. Therefore, he didn't evade Merlin's attacks. He simply aroused the power inside his own flesh. His muscles heaved like hills and mountains in a great earthquake. They moved underneath his skin, as if countless frogs hid beneath.

Merlin's attacks landed on Austin's body as quickly as lightning. The great power in his attacks locked Austin in place. A dark and terrifying demonic cloud rolled forward.

"Hey, guys. Austin is enjoying some undeserved fame. Before Merlin's unique skills, he is locked and can't move. I bet this fight will end quite soon. Austin's reputation has been rising inside the Sun Sect in recent years, only to be killed by Merlin today."

"Look at him being desperate and helpless. He dares block Merlin's Demonic Bone-chilling Claw with his body. How silly of him!"

Discussions were taking place among the other four inner disciples.

Bang!

Austin didn't try to move aside or evade Merlin's attacks. His chest absorbed the full force of Merlin's Demonic Bone-chilling Claw.

With a deafening thud, Austin's chest was hit hard by lightning. His clothes were torn to shreds. A dark palm print appeared on the skin of his chest.

Austin felt an enormous force strike his body. He had to back up.

"Ouch!"

Austin felt a sharp pain somewhere inside his body. He was close to tears.

However, that was all that he felt. Besides the pain, he felt nothing. His body was harmed in no other way.

Merlin had already reached the ninth level of Energy Gathering Realm, and he wielded this Demonic Bone-chilling Claw with terrifying power. Nobody dared underestimate this formidable force.

Nonetheless, Austin chose to stand still. He took the risk and received each blow. Much to everyone's surprise, he wasn't harmed at all.

Austin lifted his hand and touched his chest. Except for the tattered clothes and the charred skin in the shape of a palm, he was fine.

"Haha!" ...

Austin laughed out loud. It seemed that a warrior mastered the stage two of Overlord Body-refining Formula could sustain the direct attack of a cultivator of the Energy Gathering Realm. Perhaps it could even withstand the attack of a cultivator at the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

... ... ...

"Unbelievable!

What an incredible force that was!"

All the five inner disciples, including Merlin, had thought that Austin would have been killed by the Demonic Bone-chilling Claw. On the contrary, Austin simply backed up a little and then stood firm. No harm seemed to have come to him. After receiving every blow, Austin just laughed loudly, still safe and sound.

This turn of events surprised everybody. They were left staring at Austin, dumbfounded.

Merlin, out of everyone present, was most knowledgeable about the tremendous power of the Demonic Bone-chilling Claw. Even a cultivator of the preliminary stage of Earth Realm was once severely hurt by it.

Unexpectedly, Austin, who was rumored to have just reached the ninth level of Energy Gathering Realm, boasted of such an indestructible body.

"I don't believe it!"

Merlin had vowed to kill Austin. But now, he couldn't even seriously injure him. Shocked, confused, and furious, he couldn't put up with what was happening.

His angry screams echoed through the air. He mustered all of his vital energy and gathered this in his palms. The dark demonic cloud moved forward, forming a pitch-dark claw. It hit Austin's chest hard again and again.

Merlin didn't go all out last time, but now he did.

"Fine. Let's try it again."

Austin refused to step back this time. Instead, he moved forward and prepared himself to receive Merlin's attacks.

Bang! Bang!

Muffled sounds could be heard from Austin's body. It sounded as though his body was being hit by a thousand bamboo chips. Then, another dark mark in the shape of a palm appeared on his chest.

Austin felt a force so strong that he had no other choice but to step back several times.

"Ouch!"

The pain was sharp, almost unbearable.

This time, Austin realized how powerful and terrifying the Demonic Bone-chilling Claw truly was.

The pain was getting worse. At the same time, Merlin, Isaac, and the other three inner disciples were still completely dumbfounded.

All of them kept silent and didn't know what to say.

Austin did endure Merlin's powerful attacks with his body without getting himself hurt.

"This... This is impossible!"

"How could he be as strong as one of those beasts? It's horrible!" they said.

After managing to absorb a series of attacks, Austin found that the Overlord Body-refining Formula was capable of enduring the full attacks of a cultivator who had already reached the Energy Gathering Realm.

'Haha! One million vital energy crystals were worth it, ' Austin thought happily.

Austin's body was extremely strong. Attacks from cultivators of Energy Gathering Realm could do nothing to him. Even if he were attacked by one of the cultivators of Earth Realm, he wouldn't get hurt or die easily.

"Let's do this together and finish him! Austin's body is too strong! His power is terrifying. A cultivator cannot defeat him alone."

Isaac, the best cultivator among the five inner disciples, was also the leader of the group.

Personally witnessing the incredible endurance of Austin's body, Merlin realized that the former couldn't be beaten easily by any of them alone.

How could they find a way out of this stalemate?

Even if Austin stood there completely still and received Merlin's repeated attacks, he wouldn't get hurt or surrender.

Even Isaac couldn't cause damage to Austin's seemingly indestructible body.

Isaac's cultivation of martial arts was basically equal to that of Merlin's, although Isaac was definitely better than him in using vital energy. Isaac also had more experience on the battlefield.

At this moment, the five inner disciples suddenly realized why Austin didn't escape upon seeing he was surrounded.

He was confident they couldn't harm him.

"Yes, I agree. Let's do this together. He can't fight all five of us at the same time."

Merlin looked at Austin seriously and skeptically. Even his Demonic Bone-chilling Claw, the most powerful skill he had mastered, couldn't injure Austin. It terrified him to think that even though Austin just stood there and did nothing to block their attacks, they still could not win.

Merlin had never met a cultivator with such an incredibly indestructible body. Neither had he ever been put into such an embarrassing and dangerous situation.

Then, the five inner disciples moved simultaneously. They advanced and formed a circle around Austin. They intended to attack him together, leaving him with no way out.

"Okay, let's finish him, swiftly and mercilessly."

At the time, Austin had calmed down. Just moments before, he was brimming with excitement from having successfully resisted attacks with only his body and nothing else.

He looked up and studied the five inner disciples coldly. All of them were Johnson's trusted subordinates and they came all the way here to murder him.

Austin wouldn't spare them out of mercy. He wouldn't set them free and wait for them to bother him or even hurt him in the future. These guys were devoid of gratitude.

"Do it!" shouted Isaac.

He heartlessly gave the order.

Hearing Isaac's command, all the other inner disciples responded quickly. They harnessed their vital energy without holding back. The air of death, the atmosphere of pure evil, was felt by everybody present. The sky grew dark. Breathing became laborious. It seemed like a storm was coming to engulf anybody who failed to find shelter.

A fair-skinned disciple attacked Austin first. He extended his hand, which was as hard as iron. Austin realized that an ominous cloud had moved closer to face even before the disciple stretched out his hand. The air and countless grains of sand mingled and began to move together, forming an indistinguishable figure.

Vital energy force was in each and every grain of sand. A single grain, filled with such force, was capable of hurting people, and even killing them.

For this reason, this kind of martial arts technique was called Palm of Sand.

Austin smiled at this. He used his Wind-commanding Skill and rushed forward as quickly as the wind. Only his shadow could be seen. Before the disciple even noticed, Austin was already standing before him.

In a heartbeat, the disciple's palm was already resting against Austin's chest.

The disciple had just gathered enough energy and was about to strike. But before he could do anything, he realized the position his palm was in. Because of his hand pressing against Austin's chest, he lost half of his momentum.

Aside from a slight pain in his chest, Austin felt nothing else. Moments later, the pain disappeared completely, as if nothing had happened.

Then, Austin raised his right arm with the force of 5, 000 kilograms. His muscles looked like they were about to explode. Strength gathered in them. It was as if hundreds of beasts were racing and hunting for prey all within underneath his skin.

When Austin was ready, he stretched out his fist. Without warning and any flamboyant displays of power, he struck the disciple's chest with an unbelievable force.

Bang!

It felt as though the air between them exploded. The disciple's body was mangled by the blow.

His chest was crushed.

A deafening sound was heard by everyone and the disciple's breastbone was shattered into a thousand pieces. His organs vaporized and his body was sent flying through the air as though it was a doll. Blood gushed from his badly disfigured mouth. He landed on the ground a dozen meters away. He was dead even before he landed.

The other four disciples were absolutely horrified.

They inhaled sharply.

There was no denying the power and strength of Austin's body.

He not only successfully resisted the attacks of a level nine cultivator of Energy Gathering Realm; he also killed a level eight cultivator with one punch.

It would sound unimaginable to anybody who hadn't seen it with their own two eyes.

Even Earth Realm cultivators did not dare use their physical bodies to receive attacks from level nine or level eight cultivators of Energy Gathering Realm. It was incredibly rare to witness one from the preliminary stage of Earth Realm to defeat the latter, and in mere seconds, for that matter.

"Let's kill him together. If he lives, all of us will die," shouted an inner disciple, his voice full of desperation.

The other three disciples nodded their agreement.

Simultaneously, they attacked, each disciple performing the best and most damaging technique he knew, hoping to defeat Austin and find a way out.

Isaac used his Sea God Fist. When he stretched out his fist, ripples formed in the air. Seawater rushed and flowed everywhere, ready to rip apart any enemy standing in its way.

On the other side, Merlin exerted his Demonic Bone-chilling Claw to attack Austin again, recognizing the possibility that it might all be in vain.

Now that Austin had gotten a bit exhausted from fighting four enemies, Merlin thought that his Demonic Bone-chilling Claw might find an opportunity to strike a mortal blow.

Another inner disciple wielded a long sword. He threw Austin deadly glances. Suddenly, two sharp swords shot from his eyes and flew toward Austin. This disciple, it turned out, had learned a level two sword intent.

The last inner disciple held a broadsword in one hand. He wielded his weapon coolly, but he seemed like he had immense strength. Looking at him, one would think that he could cut a hill into two.
