The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt)

Chapter 968

“Haylan, who the hell are you? Alice stared at Haylan and her expression changed.

She couldn’t believe that she, who had always been God’s favored one, had lost to a mortal like Haylan

Most importantly, Haylan’s spiritual strength was still so terrifyingly powerful. All of this was way too unbelievable and beyond her tolerance.

When she stood in front of Haylan, she felt as if she was facing the monstrous geniuses of God’s Land.

Taylan was as terrifying as those monsters.

Moreover, she was defeated in the Heavenly War. She was panting heavily, her face was pale, and her brain was aching. However, Haylan’s face did not even turn red and he did not pant at all. Even his expression did not change.

This meant that Haylan’s cultivation level was far above hers!

“Don’t you know me? My name is Haylan,” Haylan said calmly.

“Don’t play dumb!”

Alice gritted her teeth and said word by word, “In the mortal world, no one is stronger than me, but you just defeated me. “This means one thing. The master who taught you these skills must be extraordinary 100.

“Tell me, is your master also from God’s Land?”

Haylan was shocked when he heard this.

The last time he talked to his master about God’s Land, his master did not say much about it. Clearly, his master also knew about God’s Land but did not tell him.

Could it really be as Alice said, that his master was also from God’s Land?

He carefully recalled many things about his master in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his master’s strength was way too unbelievable and that many of his actions were incompatible with this world.

It felt like his master was from another world.

At first, Haylan did not have any doubts.

However, Alice’s words woke him up.

At this moment, Haylan was completely overwhelmed and couldn’t calm down for a long time.

However, his expression did not change and he said in a deep voice, “I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”

“As far as I know, there is no cultivation technique in the mortal world that can cultivate spiritual strength and there is no cultivation technique that can help you break through to your level.”

Alice stared at Haylan and said word by word, “You must have learned the inheritance from God’s Land to be able to possess such a magical ability!

“Furthermore, your inheritance is top–notch even in God’s Land. Who exactly is your master?”

At this point, she was even more certain that Haylan had learned the cultivation technique of God’s Land.

The dreadful power that Haylan had shown just now was somewhat similar to those monstrous geniuses in God’s Land.

In other words, Haylan was very likely to be the disciple of an old monster in God’s Land!

Only this identity could explain why Haylan did not care about whether he could learn the cultivation techniques that could help him break through to God Realm.

Haylan glanced at her and did not say anything else. Instead, he turned around and chose raw stones one by one.

In the end, he placed one of the raw stones in front of him and marked it.

After choosing his raw stone, he looked back at Alice and said, “Come and choose your raw stone quickly. It’s almost time.”

He had just fought with Alice for a long time and knew her strength very well.

It was not difficult to kill Alice, but Lindsey was still watching from the crowd.

If Haylan displayed his strength too much, it would attract too much attention and might get him unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Haylan planned to spare Alice’s life and did not kill her because of this.

Sometimes, the living were more useful than the dead.

Only then did Alice come back to her senses. She hurriedly rushed over and carefully chose from the remaining nine raw

10-131

stones.

However, after she finished choosing, she glared at Haylan.

Just now, she was so focused on digging out Haylan’s secret that she forgot that she was in a competition and she let Haylan snatch away a piece of raw stone.

With Haylan’s ability, he must have snatched the top–grade raw stone.

After Steve saw the two of them stop fighting, he said to the host, who was still in a daze, “Don’t just stand there. They’ve stopped fighting. There won’t be any danger. It’s your turn now.”

Only then did the host come back to his senses and hurriedly walked onto the stage. He picked up the microphone and said, “Alright, the finals are over.

“In that case, all the polishers and the treasure appraisers, please come on stage to cut and appraise.”

As he spoke, two polishers pushed the cutting machine onto the stage and started cutting the raw stones Haylan and Alice had chosen.

Five minutes later, the two raw stones were cut.

They cut out a perfect gem that was only as thick as two thumbs out of Haylan’s raw stone.

Its entire body was snow–white without any impurities. It was emitting a faint white light, making it look hazy and beautiful.

The most eye–catching thing about it was that its entire body exuded a cold aura. After it was cut out, the temperature at the scene, immediately plummeted.

Even from afar, one could feel an ice–cold breeze radiating from this gem and it made one’s skin crawl.

“This is…”

When the treasure appraisers saw this piece of gem, their expressions changed.

Not only did they shocked, even Alice’s expression changed drastically. She stared at the gem and exclaimed, “This is a top–grade gem!”

Others might not know what this was, but she came from God’s Land and was especially familiar with this kind of top–grade spirit stone. She could even sense the majestic and pure spiritual energy contained in this gem.

It was definitely a top–grade spirit stone!

She could tell that this emerald pendant’s cold aura was extremely helpful to some cultivators.

If cultivators, who cultivated ice and water, absorbed the spiritual energy of the spirit stone, their cultivation level would definitely increase and even increase by a realm.

Alice looked at the top–grade gem and a hint of greed flashed across her eyes.

Then, she looked at the raw stone that she had cut out and secretly sighed.

Compared to Haylan’s top–grade gem, the gem she chose was of lower quality. The two were not on the same level at all.

When the treasure appraisers were about to come over to take a look, Alice directly said, “There’s no need to appraise. I’ve

lost.”

She took the gem she had cut out and waved it in front of the treasure appraisers. After letting them take a look, she immediately put it away and put it in her pocket.

Then, she looked at Haylau and said in a deep voice. “Haylan, I will definitely find out who you really are.

“I’ll see you in a while in God’s Land!”

With that, she jumped off the stage and quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight, ignoring Steve and the others.

What’s going on?

in 15 feet. Why did that happen?”

I don’t know. This is too strange. It might have something to do with their so–called Heavenly War.”

When the audience save the warrior being sent flying, they were also shocked. They did not know what had just happened.

The warrior was knocked away before he could even lay a finger on them.

It was as if there was a special and invisible force attacking the warrior. Everything seemed so weird.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Miracle! This is definitely a miracle!”

True Gods, please accept our greetings.”

When the workers and ordinary people who were quite superstitious saw this scene, they all knelt down and worshipped Haylan and Alice.

At this moment, in their hearts, Haylan and Alice were real gods!

Wesley stared at the stage and then at the unconscious warrior with a solemn expression.

Could it be that there was an invisible energy wall near Haylan and Alice?

He stepped forward and patted the unconscious warrior’s face. “Hey, wake up.”

However, no matter how Wesley tried to wake him up, the warrior was still unconscious.

The warrior’s expression even changed a little and he gave Wesley a goofy smile.

“What’s going on?” Wesley frowned, unable to figure out what was happening right now.

This warrior had already become like this before he could even touch Haylan. He was now unconscious in a very different way and even had a silly smile on his face.

What had this person experienced?

Wesley stood

up

and walked onto the stage. He wanted to touch the invisible energy wall between Haylan and Alice to see what was going on.

However, before he could walk over, someone said in a cold voice. “If you want to be demented for the rest of your life, then

1. go.

When Wesley heard that voice, he was a bit scared. He turned around and saw that Steve was already there.

“Greetings. Mr. Sky.”

Without another word, Wesley immediately knelt on one knee and paid his respects to Steve.

“Glad to see you here, Mr. Sky.”

As Wesley knelt down, Mr. Zabel, Karen, and everyone present knelt down and greeted Steve.

“It’s a modern society now. You don’t have to kneel when you see me. Get up.” Steve was very satisfied with everyone’s reactions. He immediately raised his hand and gestured for them to get up.

Following these words, Wesley and the others stood up.

Wesley asked, “Mr. Sky, what did you mean by what you said just now?”

Steve glanced at Haylan and Alice on the stage and said, “They just said that they were going to fight a Heavenly War. As the name suggests, it’s the battle of spiritual strength.

“This battle looks very peaceful and still. The two of them are in a motionless state, but their spiritual strengths have already left their bodies and are entangled and it’s extremely dangerous.

“Everyone who approaches within 32 feet will be attacked indiscriminately by their spiritual strengths and their minds will be damaged.

“Therefore, it’s very dangerous to approach them now. Otherwise, at best, you’ll become demented. At worst, your minds will be destroyed and your brain will die completely.”

Upon hearing his words, Wesley, Mr. Zabel, Karen, and the others came to a realization.

So this was what the so–called Heavenly War meant!

When Wesley heard this, he was instantly shocked. He hurriedly said, “Thank you, Mr. Sky. You’re so wise!”

If it wasn’t for Steve’s reminder, Wesley might have been attacked and become demented.

Abough Wedy ma god–ins expert. Tas spirit strength was geek. Or rather, he didn’t have spiritul stopilior

Steve waved his hand araling Wely not to speak. Then he stared at Hayla and Alice on the stage as a lunt of jealousy Bashed across his ever.

Although he was a god–class expert, las spiritual strength was not very good. He had not cultivated much spiritual strength- atall

As for Hayla and Alice, their spiritual strengths were so powerful that their spiritual strengths could already leave their bodies and aertwine to light.

Sur strengths were ridiculously powerful!

Mr.Sky, you’re indeed quite knowledgeable, said Mr. Zabel.

If not for Steve’s explanation, he would not have known that such a fighting mode existed in this world.

“Fighing with their spiritual strengths? Is it just standing still?”

“I don’t know. In any case, I’ve never experienced it before. Mr. Sky’s so impressive. He knows about such a fighting mode. He must be an expert”

“Of course. Mr. Sky is the Longhard Kingdom’s guardian deity. Of course, he’s invincible”

“So they’re not gods, but people who cultivated spiritual strengths.”

When the audience heard this, many workers got up from the ground and no longer knelt down to worship Haylan and

Alice

“Battle of spiritual strength?”

When Jerome heard this, he turned around and looked at Jerry with a puzzled expression. “Have you heard of it?”

Jerry shook his head.

He wasn’t very strong, so how could he know such a magical fighting mode?

“Haylan, please stay safe and sound.”

Reign clenched her fists and looked at Haylan on the stage. Her eyes were filled with worry as she prayed for Haylan in her heart. She prayed that Haylan would be safe and unscratched.

Under everyone’s gaze, Haylan and Alice still didn’t move.

“Mr. Sky, how do they fight?” Mr. Zabel asked curiously.

“The battle of spiritual strength is invisible and untouchable to outsiders, but it’s extremely dangerous. The slightest injury will affect one’s mental state.

“If you’re lucky, you can recover in a short period of time.

“If you’re not lucky enough, you might become demented or brain–dead.”

Steve explained. He quietly looked at Haylan and Alice with even more envy in his eyes. “The only thing we can do now is wait!

“When the victor is decided, they will move then.”

After a full ten minutes, Alice let out a muffled groan and took a step back. Blood streamed down the corner of her mouth and she was panting-

She looked at Haylan in disbelief. “Impossible. Haylan, how can your spiritual strength be so powerful?”

She was born in God’s Land Every day, she studied and trained with the geniuses of God’s Land. That was why her spiritual strength was so powerful.

When she left God’s Land and came to the mortal world, she was still confident that she could take down any fighter in the world.

However, the battle with Haylan crushed her confidence. The battle of spiritual strength was the field where she was best at but she had actually lost to Haylan.

This was unbelievable!
