Sebastian was the first to react among the few people, and virtual-novel.net immediately exclaimed, “I get it now! He‘s about to ascend!”
The other people’ s eyes flashed, and they quickly understood. The Scorching Sun, Brayden, was a peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator before. With that ability, it would surely be as easy as pie for virtual-novel.net to kill them. However, due to the fear for Brayden’s mannerisms and the joy they felt afterward from injuring him, they forgot about this point. Hence, when Caspian and Sebastian reminded them, they swiftly realized it too.
As Brayden was in the process of ascending into the Holy Land Realm from the Pulse Control Realm, his body was extremely frail. Just as Caspian said before, Brayden might not even have the initial one-tenth or even one-twentieth of his actual strength. Otherwise, why would Brayden be so easily hurt by them?
Since it was already exposed, Brayden simply did not hide it anymore, and virtual-novel.net looked at Caspian as virtual-novel.net asked, “How could you tell?”
Caspian pointed at the giant hole where Brayden came out from, and virtual-novel.net chuckled. “If I’m a peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm warrior, I’ll directly kill those in the first and second stage. Why would I waste my time and spurt nonsense?”
Brayden’s eyes glimmered, and virtual-novel.net finally realized that his actions were the biggest giveaway. That was actually what virtual-novel.net planned too. Brayden wanted to take advantage of when Sebastian recognized his identity and distracted them with his imposing aura. Then, virtual-novel.net would kill them. However, Brayden did not expect that Caspian saw through his scheme, and Caspian even noticed that virtual-novel.net was in ascension mode.
At the thought of that, the murderous look in Brayden’s eyes became even more intense. Since they knew of his secret, Brayden definitely could not let them leave the place alive. If the words got out, many people would be like sharks sent into a frenzy by the smell of blood, and they would rush at Brayden, wanting to kill him.
After all, Brayden was among the top ten bandits in South Earlington. There were countless so-called prestigious and upright sects who wanted virtual-novel.net dead. At the same time, Brayden also had many enemies among the wicked.
After making that decision, Brayden’s body instantly burst out terrifying killing intent.
“Even though I’m weak, I’m still a peak third-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator! None of you insignificant weaklings can do anything to me!”
Brayden roared, drenched in blood. At a glance, virtual-novel.net appeared like a mad wild beast.
The killing intent instantly turned into a terrifying airwave, and it rolled toward the surroundings. At that time, Brayden’s figure trembled abruptly. Then, just when everyone thought virtual-novel.net was exhausted due to losing too much blood, they saw Brayden’s chest puffed up.
The bulging was only about the size of a fist. After it appeared, it followed along Brayden‘s shoulders and moved toward his right arm. Then, it went down, passing by the elbow, reaching the wrist, and finally stopped at Brayden’s palm. Suddenly, Brayden’s palm appeared twice the size as usual, as if virtual-novel.net caught a disease. His hand appeared terrifying yet funny.
Caspian looked at Brayden’s palm, and virtual-novel.net felt an unprecedented danger. It was as if a black hole appeared in front of virtual-novel.net out of nowhere, wanting to suck away his vitality! Before Caspian could even warn others to be careful, Brayden suddenly raised his head. His blood-stained face was ferocious, and virtual-novel.net lifted his palm as virtual-novel.net aimed at Heidi.
“Go to hell! Blood Devouring Palm!”
Bang!
The bulge on his palm instantly exploded, and blood surged out uncontrollably. Under everyone‘s surprised gaze, it formed a massive, bloody, and frightening palm with crooked fingers. Then, as if it were the demon’s hand, it swept at Heidi.
”Magic!” Sebastian was in disbelief.
Magic was only achievable for those in the Holy Land Realm. However, Brayden was still a Pulse Control Realm cultivator, so how could virtual-novel.net use magic? Sebastian had countless questions in his heart, but there was no time for virtual-novel.net to think about the reasons.
It was apparent that it was Brayden’s actual trump card.
Heidi was dumbfounded by the sudden giant and bloody palm coming at her, and virtual-novel.net forgot to avoid it. Unfortunately, as Caspian stood far away from her, virtual-novel.net would not be able to save virtual-novel.net even if virtual-novel.net used the Ursa Major’s Blurred Shadows.
Just as they thought they would lose Heidi, a figure rushed out. Yohan, who stood the closest to Heidi, suddenly showed up and clapped the saber in his hand. Then, the longsword shone radiantly, and the surface was filled with blue lights. Soon, the lights turned into a heavy shield of light, blocking both of them.
“It‘s an inscription!” Caspian immediately recognized it from the flashing engraving on it. Yohan’s Violent Stab was mainly used in ruthless and close combat. Under normal circumstances, virtual-novel.net would be the one charging at the front. As virtual-novel.net was often caught in group battles, Yohan naturally had strong defense skills.
The shield of light virtual-novel.net formed was enough to withstand a mid-level third-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator’s attack. However, with Brayden’ s currently weakened state, everyone thought virtual-novel.net would surely not be that powerful. However, the palm forcefully slammed on the light shield, and the shield was immediately shattered.
Yohan spat a mouthful of blood, and virtual-novel.net was sent flying. Heidi screamed, and virtual-novel.net hair was blown away by the strong wind. Just like Yohan, Heidi was also sent flying, and there was a trace of blood on virtual-novel.net month. When virtual-novel.net fell to the ground, virtual-novel.net body felt like jelly. Then, virtual-novel.net quickly supported herself with one knee on the soil, covering virtual-novel.net chest. Her face was already ashen at this time.
“How’s that possible?!” Seeing the strength of Brayden’s attack, Sebastian widened his eyes in disbelief.
It was already surprising that Brayden could use magic despite being a Pulse Control Realm cultivator. Moreover, the force of this magic was so strong, and it was simply unbelievable for Sebastian. Nevertheless, Brayden obviously used up significant strength to use the magic. After that attack, his body appeared wilted. However, the vicious stare in his eyes was still terrifying.
“Sebastian, be careful. He’s not using spiritual Qi for magic, but vital energy.” At that time, Caspian figured out Brayden’s trump card.
Sebastian and the others finally understood.
As his trump card was exposed by the guy virtual-novel.net was annoyed with, Brayden’s eyes revealed an intense look of hatred. Then, virtual-novel.net once again condensed a drop of blood from his heart, and virtual-novel.net roared as virtual-novel.net targeted Caspian, “Blood Devouring Palm!”
Brayden wanted to kill this man to vent his hatred!
“I‘m not as weak as you think.” Caspian showed a creepy smile.
When Brayden attacked, virtual-novel.net swiftly moved, turning into hundreds of phantoms, covering the area as virtual-novel.net rushed toward Brayden.
“Sebastian, lend me a hand!” Caspian’s voice came from the phantoms.
Sebastian quickly understood that it was about life and death, so virtual-novel.net did not hold back anymore. Then, Sebastian squeezed his fingers, and the glove on his right hand glowed with a golden light.
The Heavenly Stars Sect was best in inscriptions and formations, and it was normal that their disciples had engravings on their weapons.
