COMING OF THE MARTIAL GOD, VOLUME 2 - Season 8 Episode 32

After a while, another team of City Guardians also came to the street. Ten of the City Guardians, who were sent out to capture Austin and his fellows, gathered together. They surveyed the place and found that everyone was in the same situation.

All the way down the alley, no one encountered any soul-consuming fog or even seen any souls, including those who served as informants. All were bizarrely missing!

It was so weird. It had never happened in this city!

“This is not a trivial matter. We have to send someone back to report to the three castellans.”
One of the City Guardians, who was the leader of that small team, immediately made a decision.

Every City Guardian knew that there were three castellans, and an old castellan called Jim was above them–– the real master of this city. He had been severely injured and needed a lot of souls for healing.

The souls in the soul-consuming fog were the nourishment pool for Jim’s healing. They would be used to heal him and alleviate his vital energy.

Hence, the importance of the soul-consuming fog was self-evident.

At the same time, among the martial arts practiced by the three castellans, many powerful arcane spells required the use of such souls as training resources.

The City Guardians, as the confidants of the three castellans, were taught some martial arts skills that highly required the usage of souls for cultivation.

So, the captivated souls in the soul-consuming fog were very precious resources in this City.

Now that the soul-consuming fog had been destroyed, and the souls had disappeared, the city would be in a total ruckus.

The City Guardians couldn’t imagine how angry the three castellans would get when they heard the news.

It was obviously an emergency. No one dared to ignore the problem and instead tried to resolve it.

After a brief discussion, the three City Guardians with the fastest bodily movement skill ran back to the center of the castle at lightning speed. They reported the situation to the three castellans.

Soul messengers were typically used to convey messages, but since they couldn’t use one, they could only count on themselves.

“Does this matter have anything to do with the man and three women we are looking for?” one of the remaining seven City Guardians suddenly speculated.

“Not very likely. Although the physical strengths of that man and the three women were quite strong, I heard that the people of the Veritable Demon Sect were only good at dealing with the corporeal body.

Even a master whose cultivation base is at Master Realm might not be able to destroy the soul-consuming fog.

How could those young brats have such strong spiritual sense?” one of the guardians immediately questioned.

“Yeah, you’re right. Alright, let’s forget it, and hurry up in finding that man and the three women.

For some reason, I think there’s more to them than we know.”

The seven City Guardians immediately spread in various directions and continued the search.

The City Guardians were very familiar with the layout of these streets. If they would utilize their own spiritual senses, they could immediately locate Austin.

In the street, about 4, 000 meters away from the seven City Guardians, Austin sat on his knees. An invisible spiritual sense chain––bigger than an adult’s arm––exuded a strong spiritual sense pressure, roaring back and forth in the street. It chased the souls who tried to escape, filling the whole street with cries of agony, screams of misery, and pleas.

It painted a picture of hell, where Austin was Yama––the king of the underground who killed and captured the souls.

Tessa and the purple-clad girl stood next to an alley, in what looked similar to the entrance of an inn. They were watching what was happening in the street.

The three women had gotten used to that kind of scene.

The purple-clad girl and the maid were watching with utmost interest, pointing at what was happening in front of them. They could not help clapping their hands when they saw an astonishing scenario.

Tessa now knew that the maid called the purple-clad girl Dahlia, while the latter referred to her maid as Faye.

While watching, the three had the opportunity to know each other and got along quite well.

The purple-clad girl was a person of big character, and she didn’t care much about proper manners. Moreover, she had never felt superior because of her noble position in the Veritable Demon Sect.

To put it bluntly, the girl only cared about whether she could get along with someone when making friends. She did not pay attention to what kind of status others had and the like.

After being acquainted with Tessa for the past few days, she liked the feeling of Tessa’s big sister vibe and got along very well with her.

Meanwhile, Austin was very much immersed in extracting and purifying the souls.

While in the process, Austin suddenly frowned. He perceived, through his spiritual sense, the City Guardians who were about 4, 000 meters away.

“These people keep coming back!” he shouted in slight annoyance.

However, Austin had not yet planned to pay attention to them. Right now, he was most concerned about the cultivation of his own spiritual sense to reach the pinnacle of Liquefaction!

It was his top priority to strengthen his spiritual sense.

Once he achieved Spiritual Sense Liquefaction––reaching or even surpassing the spiritual sense of most masters with cultivation base in Astral Realm––his own strength would undoubtedly take another big leap!

At present, the density of the spiritual sense in Austin’s Soul Sea was getting bigger and bigger and more concentrated.

There were countless tiny drops of water mist formed by the spiritual sense concentration suspended in the Soul Sea. The mist permeated and spread boundlessly, making the volume of the Soul Sea also quite expanded.

The signs of Liquefaction were gradually showing itself.

There were some dense water drops in the mist of the spiritual sense!

Incomparable complex laws seemed to be engraved on those water drops of spiritual sense. Such invisible laws were emitting light like shining jewels! A breath of nature dispersed from the shining light!

It seemed that Austin had made some progress in his soul perception, observation power, and understanding of the laws of the world.

He had not only enhanced his spiritual sense, but also his entire soul and way of thinking to a new level.

There also seemed to be some breakthroughs in his vital energy, which had remained constant in his body.

It was amazing!

Austin had come to some insights.

It turned out that with the rapid progress of a warrior’s spiritual sense, other aspects of the body would be developed too.

The body as a whole entity was composed of the physical quality, the cultivation base of vital energy, and the strength of spiritual sense––with all three mutually influencing one another.

Austin now had about 400, 000 pounds of physical strength. His body was incomparably stronger than his vital energy.

Now, his spiritual sense was advancing by leaps and bounds. It was about to reach the level of the Astral Realm.

As soon as every aspect of his martial arts cultivation started to affect one other, his physical quality, potential, and talent were also highly elevated. A young genius was born!

After sensing that the City Guardians were following him, Austin quickly finished extracting and purifying all the remaining souls. Then with the three women he headed for another area of the city, where there were several groups of the soul-consuming fogs.

… … …

At the heart of the city, a magnificent palace stood.

In it there was a secret underground room.

A very old man, wrinkled like old bark and shrouded in the sense of death, sat inside.

He was meditating like an old monk––motionless and without any sense of breathing.
‘Huh?’ he thought when he sensed something.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, and two terrible rays of light burst out.

An expression of anger and surprise registered on his wrinkled face.

“Someone is destroying my soul-consuming fogs!

He is extracting and purifying the souls that I have stored for many years!”

The old man’s secret empty room was only a few square feet large.

The ground in front of the old man was inlaid with a big round blue stone. The ball-like stone, made of unknown material, exuded a radiant blue light.

The old man sent out a wisp of spiritual sense and wrapped the blue stone ball. Immediately, the sight of the street where Austin was located projected in the old man’s perception.

“A kid! A lad who is less than 20 years old! How is this possible?” the old man suddenly exclaimed.

He was not expecting someone very young.

The kid had a strong physical quality for such a young age!

‘He can destroy my soul-consuming fogs, extract, and purify those souls. His spiritual sense must be powerful. Let me feel it!’

The old man’s spiritual sense, immersed in the blue stone ball, continuously showed him everything about Austin.

At the same time, Austin, who was still extracting and purifying the souls, suddenly became alert.

A seemingly ubiquitous mysterious perceptual force suddenly came from all directions and shot, all of a sudden, on Austin’s body.

The strange perceptual force was like a spiritual sense, but quite different and unique. It emerged from all directions––above the street, from the buildings on both sides of the street, and even from the underground.

It seemed that all objects that existed in the area could possibly be a carrier of that mysterious perceptual force.

Austin was surprised and immediately stopped extracting the souls. The massive spiritual sense in the Soul Sea quickly formed a defensive cover, firmly protecting his Soul Sea and rejecting the perceptual force.

The perceptual force was trying to penetrate his Soul Sea.
