The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 147 Ice Mysterious Skill

Matthew and the scarred man were also part of the Blood Wolf Teamalong with the two men who perished. Knowing what Austin did totheir mates made them furious.

The scarred man opened his palm and a cylinder appeared emittingrays of blue and green. He then turned his hand towards Austin andimmediately, the lights turned into violent flashes of lighting shootingdirectly towards Austin.

Then, he waved his hand again and revealed a sharp, green claw whichwas made of steel and attached with an iron chain. It flew towardsAustin as the man held its opposite end.

A bad feeling came over Austin. There was something eerie about theclaw that he could not help but notice even before it reached him. Itwas tainted with poison!

Running Wind-commanding Skill, he dodged the incoming attacks witha series of graceful turns.

"Shiiiiing!"

"Shiiiiing!"

"Shiiiiing!"

A series of sharp sounds echoed through the air. When it all subsided,the ground where Austin once stood was replaced with a landscapefilled with a dozen mud holes.

As Austin moved, in his mind, he mustered energy to summon theNegative Shadow Blade. With it, he swung towards the incoming claw.The collision of the two forces produced an explosion of jet black.

The Negative Shadow Blade was a spiritual weapon. And Austin was atthe ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm. Therefore, with apowerful force, the blade cut the iron chain to pieces like a metal ballagainst brittle glass.

Without the chain, the steel claw was thrown into the garden of thornsthat lay beside them.

The Negative Shadow Blade disappeared after it cut the chain. It left notrace. Then, it reappeared as suddenly as it vanished and was flyingstraight towards the scarred man's chest.

Petrified, the scarred man watched the incoming blade approach. Fearfroze him completely. The Negative Shadow Blade pierced through hischest, flew out through his back, and once again, disappearedcompletely.

"You...! How did you do that?"

The scarred man stared at Austin with his pale, stunned eyes. Nevercould he have imagined that he would perish at Austin’s hands.

He did not even have chance to display his skill! The fight was overeven before it began.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Matthew also stared at Austin in surprise. "How did that happen? Howdid he get so strong?" he murmured to himself.

He gravely underestimated him. He took two members of the BloodWolf Team with him to kill Austin once and for all. Both of themwillingly went, excited to get some action. It did not occur to any ofthem that this would be a difficult task. Now, Matthew realized thegravity of his mistake. In a split-second, all his men were killed!

He was all alone now!

For the first time, Matthew was afraid to fight Austin.

“I'm impressed, young boy. I have to admit that I underestimated youbefore.

However, I must warn you. Killing me will not be easy,” Matthew said,managing to collect himself.

From what he saw in the fight that ensued, Matthew knew that Austinwas not going to let him go alive. Murder was in his eyes.

He had heard of Austin's supreme power, but he dismissed them asinflated stories. It was not until he saw how easily and brutally the fourmembers of the Blood Wolf Team were killed did he finally accept themas accurate accounts of reality.

Still, he had a feeling he could still beat Austin. Under his belt, heacquired a cultivation base under the ninth level of the EnergyGathering Realm. He also had a rare fourth-grade skill to MinorAchievement Stage. He also had the mind of a criminal and goodinstinct he honed in his years of robbery. Never in his life did he backdown against a boy as young as Austin. He was barely twenty years old.“This is a peculiar young boy. The things he did are those only someoneon the ninth level of the Energy Gathering Realm could do.

If I recall correctly, his cultivation base was only at the seventh level ofthe Energy Gathering Realm when he arrived at the outer area of GrandDesolation Mountain. His progress is astounding. I suspect he ate avery potent substance that he found on this mountain. That must bewhat enabled him to break through two levels and enter into the ninthlevel right away, acquiring immense physical strength as wellNevertheless, breakthroughs which are acquired through foreignsubstances are normally unstable. I have been at the ninth level of theEnergy Gathering Realm for more than five years now. Surely, I havemore vital energy than he has, *

Matthew thought. He mulled over his ideas long and hard until hearrived at an answer that made sense to him.

“Why do I need to be afraid of this young man?" he realized.

With these thoughts, Matthew's confidence grew, and his initialhesitation disappeared completely. His fear of Austin, now, seemedstupid and illogical

"You are going to die today, young man," He warned.

If Matthew only knew how accurately he guessed the situation, and thatthe substance that Austin managed to acquire was none other than theCelestial Energy Ginseng--the same thing that warriors sought for inthe Grand Desolation Mountain--would it change how he was about todeal with the situation?

Matthew started to approach Austin. He walked towards him with apace that gradually grew along with his cold intent. His anger solidifiedas he drew closer raging through the snow that fell from the skies. Hewas going to kill him. That was certain. He already imagined ithappening right before his eyes: Austin's blood staining the snow thatsurrounded them.

"Crack! Crack!"

As he passed, the branches beside him and the grass beneath himstarted to harden. In a matter of seconds, ice enveloped themcompletely. The snow thickened and the breeze became even colder.The green, vibrant forest became a desolate fortress of ice.

Seeing how effective his fourth-grade martial arts skill was boostedMatthew's confident. He felt even more certain that he had the upperhand. He looked at Austin with hunger in his eyes. His feet landed onthe snow with an impact that echoed. The fight was about to begin."Little bastard, you are too young to comprehend the realities of thisworld. How dare you kill four members of our Blood Wolf Team! Didyou lose your will to live? What a pity. Still, I am a person of mercy.Today, I will help you end your worthless existence. Bask in my IceMysterious Skill!"

Matthew exclaimed as he summoned his vital energy and radiated acold wind from his body. In an instant, the freezing temperature aroundthem dropped even lower.

“The Cold Intent! He just unleashed a level two Cold Intent! That is anextraordinary skill to behold! A warrior under the Energy GatheringRealm could freeze to death if he were not strong enough to handlesomething as powerful as the Cold Intent, * Austin thought as hewatched Matthew's display of power.

Violet and Fanny also felt an icy wind blowing to their faces. Violetmustered her demon energy and used it to drive the Cold Intent out ofher body.

Fanny, however, was only at the seventh level of the Energy GatheringRealm. Matthew's Mysterious Ice skill was difficult for her to handle. Shecovered her body with her hands and shivered furiously. Involuntarily,she shook, and her teeth chattered

Noticing Fanny's situation, Violet pulled her close towards the areacovered by her demon vitality. It was only then that Fanny managed toregain the warmth that she lost in her body.

Austin stood firmly on the ground, steady as a mountain, as the ragingMatthew approached. The icy wind blew against his face violently. Tinyicicles stuck on his hair, his skin and his clothes. In a few seconds,Austin was covered with snow completely.

However, Austin did not feel cold. He ran his vital energy to keep hisbody warm. The light golden vital energy stored in his elixir field spreadfrom his belly to every limb of his body.

His vital energy in his elixir field was almost as big as his fist. Right now,it flowed to wherever he directed it towards. Gently, it spread. Itemitted rays of light that grew hotter and hotter, like a gentle morningsun slowly growing into a violent, burning ball of fire. The heat becameso intense that it felt as if everything was melting.

Words flashed in Austin's mind: “The Golden Sun Scripture is the mostpowerful and potent element in the universe. Its force is indomitableand can only be controlled by the most powerful of creatures."

It was a passage from the text that introduced the Golden SunScripture.

“That sentence is definitely not an exaggeration of the power of theGolden Sun Scripture, * thought Austin. Warmth started to rise insidehis body.

He then continued to chant the holy verses of the Golden SunScripture. The warmth started to slowly go out of his skin. Instantly, ahot wind seemed to have enveloped him, melting the snow generatedby Matthew. It resembled the hard winter snow the moment thesunshine of spring started to dominate the sky. In a matter of seconds,they dissolved completely.

Matthew's Ice Mysterious Skill was reduced to nothing with Austin’spowerful Golden Sun Scripture.

"Ha ha ha! Ice Mysterious Skill? Was that all? I expected it to be morespectacular! That was nothing but a flop! What's so special about that?Why even call it a Mysterious Skill in the first place?”

Austin mocked as he laughed loudly. He then sent a Spiritual SenseFlying Needle towards Matthew. At the same time, he also summonedhis Twin Shadow Blades to appear behind him in his mind. With a quickcommand through telepathy, the Twin Shadow Blades sped towardsMatthew in a flash of black and red

"That is impossible! How did you manage to cultivate a skill that utilizedso much heat?"

Matthew roared. He was very surprised.
