The Strongest War God

Chapter 1174: Parting, The Two Leave!

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The girl, Jada, was in tears. The Scarlet Sky Tiger that had accompanied her since childhood had died.

If Luke Yates and the others were the cause of its death, Jada would feel even sadder.

Although Luke was reluctant to part with Jada, today marked the day they had to say their goodbyes.

He had to leave, even if he did not want to.

After all, this was not his home.

Ebo Mabaya’s family stood up to send them off, their attitude completely different from before.

All of this was because of the Great Divine Priest.

Though Braydon Neal had suspected earlier that Sadie Dudley had a powerful background with a formidable figure behind her, he was still somewhat surprised.

However, he did not expect Sadie’s father to be so formidable.

The Great Divine Priest was feared by the top figures of the ruins.

Braydon left this paradise.

However, the wilderness remained unchanged, with danger lurking everywhere.

Spirit beasts roamed, and high-level creatures would occasionally appear.

Each of them was not something Braydon and the little fool could deal with.

If Braydon and his brother wished to return to the ancient city, they would have to traverse 18,000 miles of wilderness and avoid all high-level spirit beasts.

They had to face unknown dangers at all times.

His mind was tense.

It had been many years since such a sense of danger had surfaced.

When Braydon felt this way, he was forced to take over the position of the Northern Army’s commander at the age of ten.

Now, this feeling of high pressure had reappeared.

“This kind of high-pressure life is also a form of cultivation. It can force our strength to improve rapidly in a short period,” Braydon said softly as he walked in the bamboo forest.

“Brother, do you think we can come here again in the future?”

The little fool was absent-minded the entire way.

He was a good-for-nothing fellow, and he was most likely still thinking about Jada.

“You’re not allowed to come here in the future, and you’re not allowed to see Jada again,” Braydon said calmly.

“I want to!”

There was no way Luke would be obedient.

He swaggered and followed behind his brother. He was not afraid of the wilderness at all.

The two brothers walked in the bamboo forest.

Little did they know that there were many snakes in the bamboo forest.

A silver-backed snake with gray silk about a hundred meters long was slithering about.

Its body was as thick as a bucket, and it moved silently.

It had picked up other scents and was chasing after them.

Braydon’s ears twitched.

“Be careful! There’s a snake!” he warned.

“Where?”

The little fool’s eyes lit up. Ever since he met Jada, he had been eating spirit fruits every day; he was getting tired of them.

He, Luke, wanted to eat meat!

Rustle!

The snake’s speed suddenly increased.

Its movement speed was steadily over 500 meters per second!

In other words, it had arrived within a few hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

The silver-backed snake’s massive body swayed, and it swept its tail across the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bamboo after bamboo was crushed and broken.

The powerful snake tail instantly attacked the little fool.

Little Fool threw a punch and shouted, “Big bug, die!”

With a bang, Luke flew out like a cannonball.

Golden vitality appeared all over his body.

“The power of a fifth-level spirit beast can’t be taken head-on.” Braydon’s expression changed.

Although he said that, it was already too late.

The little fool had several broken ribs and was crying out in pain.

It did not take long for his injuries to recover.

With the protection of the emperor seeds in his body, no matter how serious his injuries were, he could heal them in a short period of time.

Even spirit beasts couldn’t compare to such a strong physique and self-healing ability.

Since ancient times, martial artists and spirit beasts had never been able to compete in strength.

Human martial artists had weak physiques.

The greatest advantage of a spirit beast was that its physique was strong and barbaric, and its strength was explosive.

Within the same rank, the strength of martial artists and spirit beasts differed by several times.

In a contest of strength, the human ancient martial art practitioners were at a disadvantage.

Braydon dodged, knowing that the defense of a fifth-level spirit beast was astonishing.

Even with the sharpness of the Northern King Sword, the scales on the body of the silver-backed snake were impossible to break.

Furthermore, the long sword that was formed from vitality could not break it.

The only method was the power of national fate.

Braydon’s left hand moved slightly, and an invisible national fate sword appeared.

The sharpness of the sword possessed the might of the heavens.

Just one slash.

As Braydon transformed into a white blur, his speed doubled, exceeding 1,000 meters per second.

In an instant, he covered 1,000 meters in a flash.

With the national fate sword in his hand, Braydon pierced through the head of the silver-backed snake.

Sensing its life was in danger, the silver-backed snake instinctively dodged.

Fifth-level spirit beasts were quite intelligent. They lived in the forest, facing threats from other beasts, developing their own combat experience.

High-level spirit beasts like the fifth-level spirit beast were exceptional and potent hunters.

However, Braydon was no aristocratic young master. Rising to power in the northern territory, he established his might on the battlefield, his hands stained with the blood of enemies.

In terms of combat experience, Braydon was second to none.

The silver-backed snake shifted its head, successfully evading Braydon’s initial attack.

Braydon’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing. The invisible blade slid along the snake’s head, cutting through three of its scales and drawing a trace of scarlet blood.

Swoosh!

Braydon altered his move.

The national fate sword in his left hand transitioned from a stab to an upward swing.

With a swing of his sword, he severed the snake’s neck.

The colossal snake head plummeted to the ground.

Losing its head, the giant silver-backed snake thrashed wildly, crushing the bamboo forest.

Braydon stood on a bamboo branch, hands behind his back, observing everything with a cold gaze.

The little fool approached, extracting a beast core from the snake’s head.

The beast core, the size of an egg, was chilly to the touch, containing the soul essence of the silver-backed snake.

The soul essence resembled a beast’s soul!

Due to the ferocity and hostility of the silver-backed snake, directly absorbing its energy was impossible.

A human ancient martial art practitioner absorbing the energy inside would inevitably be assimilated by the beast energy, becoming a half-human, half-beast demon—an actual evil cultivator.

Little Fool stuck out his butt, happily preparing to dissect the snake’s scales.

The two most valuable items from a snake-type spirit beast were its beast core and its skin, both essential materials for forging.

Braydon spoke softly, “Little Fool, just keep the beast core. Don’t bother with the snake skin; it’s too cumbersome. Carrying it around is not convenient.”

“But this thing is valuable!”

The little fool expressed his money-grubbing nature.

However, the snake’s skin spanned hundreds of square meters.

A hundred-meter-long snake was a sizable python.

When folded, this python skin could undoubtedly fill a massive military backpack.

In other words, it was impractical to carry.

Braydon said nothing, allowing Luke to carry the item. After a while, Luke realized it was challenging to manage and tossed it away.

Braydon understood his younger brother.

Braydon and the little fool didn’t linger long; they swiftly departed.

Not long after their departure, the area attracted numerous spirit beasts, including snow-white spirit martens and other snakes, drawn by the scent of blood.

This was the drawback of being in the wilderness.

Once the scent of blood spread, it would allure other spirit beasts.

Braydon and Little Fool headed south, their daily speed not considered fast.

Covering fifty miles in a day was already commendable!
