Chapter 988: Chapter 988: Facing Them Alone!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Braydon Neal didn’t want to break Gannon Cohen’s invincible aura.

With this thought of being invincible among his peers, Gannon would definitely become a great figure in the future. It would not be difficult for him to advance to the upper ranks of a pinnacle.

He didn’t say that Gannon had the potential of a supreme pinnacle.

At the age of sixteen, he was already a high-level pinnacle.

That was because the cultivation environment and resources on Heavenly Mountain were incomparable to those in the outside world.

How cruel was the outside world?

Lower-level martial artists desperately sought for half an incomplete ancient martial technique, but they could not obtain it.

They were willing to risk their life for half a spirit herb.

On this mountain, there must be many martial arts inheritances, ancient martial arts cultivation methods, and martial arts techniques. In addition, there must be pointers from top-notch pinnacles.

It could definitely help martial artists break through to the pinnacle realm quickly.

The realms before the pinnacle were basically about understanding the use of force. With experts teaching them everything, it was naturally very fast to cultivate.

If Gannon and Charles Lansky lived in the same environment…

Then how high could Charles’s current achievements be?

“Hmph!” Gannon threw a second punch. “Seventh Holiness, you should take care of yourself first before you worry about me!”

Braydon shook his head gently. With a raise of his hand, his vitality surged out and transformed into a hundred swords!

He stepped on the flying sword and flew into the wind with his hands behind his back.

This scene shocked Lee Wynn and the others.

“It’s indeed Mount Sino’s sword. His Holiness is not simple!”

A gray-robed old woman standing beside Lee sized him up.

The martial artists on Heavenly Mountain had lived here for a long time and were isolated from the outside world. It seemed that they didn’t know how terrifying their young master was in the outside world.

Gannon’s vitality surged out of his body, forming a vitality shield that covered his entire body. He was like a red ball as he soared into the sky and attacked Braydon. All the flying swords were bounced away by the shield.

This was clearly not Braydon’s attack method.

This was because Braydon’s sword was not so weak. How could the flying swords not be able to break through Gannon’s vitality shield?

He didn’t use the forbidden technique, Heaven-Splitting.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If he used it, his offensive power would increase several times and he would be able to break Gannon’s defense.

Braydon didn’t want to hurt this youth.

He had no intention of killing him!

Because Braydon had taken a fancy to him.

Gannon did not belong to the four great entities. He belonged to the Heavenly Mountain lineage. In terms of relationships, he was considered Braydon’s people.

If he could coax such a genius to leave the mountain and become a general in the Northern Army, then he would be able to become a general.

He would definitely be a tiger general who could suppress a region.

To outsiders, Braydon was like an immortal, perfect and without any weaknesses.

But he obviously had a problem.

He wanted to kidnap a genius and recruit him as a general of the Northern Army.

He had had this problem since he was young.

He had never changed!

Luke Yates knew his brother’s problem the best, but in front of Braydon, Luke could only get beaten up. He didn’t dare to do anything about his brother.

“Seventh Holiness, since you have inherited the Sovereign Lord’s Spirit Summoning Art, why don’t you use it?” Gannon shouted.

“If I use the Spirit Summoning Art, you will die!”

Braydon shook his head lightly. He treated Gannon as a younger brother who didn’t know much about the world. “Heavenly Execution!” he said.

Forbidden technique, Heavenly Execution.

The forbidden technique contained in the Qilin Art.

Lee was shocked. “The forbidden art, Heavenly Execution, originated from the Qilin Art. It’s a technique cultivated by the previous Qilin Lords. How does His Holiness know the technique?”

“It seems that His Holiness’s identity is more complicated than we thought. No wonder he has never returned to Heavenly Mountain since he was young. He was left in the outside world by the Sovereign Lord. There’s more than meets the eye!”

The old woman stooped and sighed softly.

The hundred swords merged into one and transformed into the giant sword, Heavenly Execution Sword.

The giant sword descended from 800 meters in the air with a terrifying momentum. The tip of the sword landed on the red barrier.

Bang!

With a loud sound, the aftershock rippled like mushrooms.

Gannon’s protective shield was shattered, and he was injured by the sword Qi. His vitality surged out of his body to block most of the power of the forbidden technique, Heavenly Execution. However, he landed heavily on the ground. Although the bones in his body were not broken, they were all cracked.

The pain of his bones breaking made Gannon break out in cold sweat. The unprecedented pain made him grit his teeth and kneel on one knee without saying a word.

Braydon stepped on the air and landed. He said softly, “The pain of your bones cracking is bone-piercing. You endured it without making a sound. You have not disgraced yourself.”

“I haven’t lost yet!”

Gannon still wanted to fight.

Braydon shook his head lightly. If this continued, Gannon would be crippled.

Therefore, there was no need to continue fighting.

The victor had been decided.

Braydon turned around and walked on the steps. His voice was as majestic as a bronze bell. “The rules of Heavenly Mountain are that anyone who steps on the steps must accept challenges from all sides. If there are any challengers, come out together!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man holding a sword appeared in front of him. His hair was tied up into a crown, and he looked to be in his twenties.

“Knox Lemus greets His Holiness!” He bowed.

“You alone can’t stop me. Call them all out, and I’ll let you all witness the glory of the Spirit Summoning Art.”

Braydon spoke very calmly, but the others could feel a sense of frivolity.

The Northern King was still as frivolous as ever.

Knox turned around and said decisively, “Everyone, show yourselves. His Holiness can defeat Gannon with a single thought without using the Spirit Summoning Art. He’s more powerful than us!”

“Us? Knox, don’t think too highly of yourself. I’m different from you!”

A black-robed youth slowly walked down the stairs. His entire body was filled with arrogance and defiance. However, when he saw Frosty and Rhea Reeves, he still bowed respectfully. “Lazarus Westbrook greets the First, Second, and Fourth Holiness!”

“Go!”

Rhea, wearing a veil over her face, smiled lightly, actually encouraging Lazarus to fight Braydon.

“I’ll challenge him.” Lazarus turned around and said decisively, “Knox, get lost.”

“Why you!”

Anger appeared in Knox’s eyes.

However, more than a dozen people gradually appeared around them. Someone said indifferently, “Knox, since Lazarus wants to fight alone, you can fulfill his wish.”

Knox suppressed his anger and slowly retreated.

However, their discussion did not receive Braydon’s permission.

Braydon took a step forward. His body was covered in white light. He put his hands behind his back and chuckled. “I said you guys should attack together. There’s no need to waste time. Lazarus, what do you think?”

Swoosh!

Braydon’s speed suddenly doubled.

Under normal circumstances, his speed could exceed 300 meters per second.

Every time he used one of the eight pinnacle techniques, Braydon’s reaction speed, speed, and strength would increase by one level, increasing his overall combat strength.

For example, the instant technique could increase one’s speed by several times.

However, Braydon rarely did this. Most of the time, he would suppress himself.

This was because releasing his full form was extremely taxing on his body.

If he was not careful, he would hurt himself.

Now, Braydon was gradually letting go of his own body, and his movement speed had broken through 700 seconds per second.

With such a terrifying speed, he was behind Lazarus in an instant and brushed past him.

Lazarus’s pupils constricted, and all the hair on his body stood on end.

Before he could circulate his vitality to defend himself…

A huge wave of air directly sent him flying, and a huge force landed on his Shanzhong point in his chest, causing his vitality to scatter and unable to gather.
