<strong>Capítulo 2216: Chapter 2216: Borrowed Power</strong>
“Calling the wind and summoning the rain, this is defying the heavens!”
Seeing the Heavenly Thunder strike down, Shadow Kims couldn’t help but swear, “This is like using cheat codes, how do you even y this game?”
He was a divine servant, possessing abilities far beyond ordinary Martial Artists.
Yet, even so, witnessing Vernon Radcliffe calling the wind and summoning the rain, and harnessing the Heavenly Thunder, it still scared him.
If Julius Reed hadn’t reacted quickly and dodged that Heavenly Thunder, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
“Defy the heavens, my ass.” Julius Reed scoffed from a distance and sighed, “Shadow Kims, you’re hailed as one of the Six Emperors, yet you have no insight at all, truly embarrassing.”
“See, being disdained, huh?” Hawthorne nudged Shadow Kims with his shoulder and gloated from the side, “In the boss’s eyes, everyone is trash. Including you and me.”
“Bah. Julius Reed is too arrogant. If he’s that great, why did he dodge earlier? Why not just stand there and take it?” Shadow Kims retorted, feeling disgraced by the mockery.
In the distance, Vernon Radcliffe raised his dragon-scale spear and roared!
Once again, purple clouds gathered in the sky.
Soon, a bolt of Heavenly Thunder struck down!
In its descent, the Heavenly Thunder divided into eight!
Eight bolts of purple Heavenly Thunder crashed down with immense speed!
This time, Julius Reed chose not to dodge.
He raised his head and opened his eyes.
To hell with the Heavenly Thunder.
He dodged the first one just to gauge its authenticity.
This technique was simr to what those Martial Monks on the Dusty tform used before.
Martial Monks could ascend from t ground, transforming into the sun, moon, and stars.
Much more awe-inspiring than this feat of harnessing Heavenly Thunder.
There’s no power in the heavens, it’s all just trickery.
Even Julius Reed hasn’t mastered the art of weather maniption, so how could others?
The eight bolts of purple lightning crashed down keenly, seemingly intent on tearing a person to shreds!
Vernon Radcliffe, a skeleton by nature, couldn’t smile, but he parted his mouth to express his excitement.
As the Heavenly Thunder was about tond, Julius Reed extended his hand, pointing to the sky.
Crack!
The lightning gathered at his fingertips, enveloping him in a halo of electricity!
“Is that even possible?”
Shadow Kims spent the whole night in amazement, thinking he already understood Julius Reed, only to realize he didn’t at all.
In his predictions, even a holy master couldn’t harness Heavenly Thunder, let alone withstand its formidable power.
This, indeed, was a battle against the heavens!
Martial Arts advocates the Unity of Heaven and Man, utilizing heavenly power is the ultimate dream of a martial artist.
But in this world, no one could possibly achieve it.
It only exists in vague and distant myths.
“Weak sauce.” Julius Reed raised a finger, the lightning swirling around him but leaving him unscathed.
The sound of crackling continued incessantly, deafening to the ears.
It was like a sudden p of thunder on a clear day.
In Vernon Radcliffe’s eyes, there was an unusual glimpse of disbelief.
How could he still be alive?
Is this possible?
“Go.” Julius Reed slowly pointed his finger forward, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. “Strike!”
Boom!
The eight strands of Heavenly Thunder merged into one, leaving a trail of electric light in the air, exploding directly at Vernon Radcliffe!
A muffled sound.
Vernon Radcliffe braced his dragon-scale spear in front of him, colliding with the Heavenly Thunder.
The light was dazzling!
He flew backward,nding dozens of meters from his previous position.
His body plunged deeply into the snow.
From afar, Shadow Kims stood dumbfounded, and when he looked at Julius Reed again, his eyes hadpletely changed.
“The holy master doesn’t want to fight sometimes, but when he does, no one can rival him.” Hawthorne’s eyes were filled with admiration.
This is a king.
A man who rules the world.
“For thousands of years, people have tried to challenge him, and the holy master has always evaded, only acting like now when he has no choice but to teach the enemy a lesson.”
He couldn’t help but sigh, “To die at the hands of the holy master is a great honor. Honestly, I’m a bit envious of that guy, to feel the power of the world’s strongest today.”
“Do you want to die?” Shadow Kims raised his eyebrow, looking at him like he was a fool, “The holy master doesn’t break. There will be casualties.”
“For a Martial Artist, dying at the hands of a superior is a kind of happiness,” Hawthorne crossed his arms, speaking no further.
But his eyes were already full of frenzy.
“Why aren’t you dead!”
Vernon Radcliffe struggled to stand from the snow, his dragon-scale spear broken.
His armor, shattered, exposed his skeletal form.
Yet, the dragon scales encasing the skeleton were severely damaged.
Blood began to flow from his body.
Surviving the power of eight bolts of Heavenly Thunder was miraculous!
“Did Ilia Danvers send you?” Julius Reed asked, standing a hundred meters away.
“Who sent me doesn’t matter. Today, I must kill you!” Vernon Radcliffe roared, “Divine Dragon, aid me!”
A dragon’s roar shattered the silence, and a shadow of a dragon descended upon Vernon Radcliffe.
“Damn!” Shadow Kims found his mind overwhelmed.
Could this really be?
What on earth has he been studying all these years?
Compared to this, he was utterly weak!
As the shadow fell upon Vernon Radcliffe, the dragon’s roar vanished.
And Vernon Radcliffe’s presence exponentially surged!
Growing stronger and stronger!
“This is borrowing power. I’ve studied theology for so many years, barely understanding such methods, and this guy just summons aid with a single cry?” Shadow Kims seemed to age instantly.
“It’s the times, we’ve been left behind.”
The glory of the Six Emperors of yesteryear had be entirely a thing of the past.
Always morphing, yet they remained stuck in their ways.
“With the power of the Divine Dragon, I will certainly kill you!”
In truth, Vernon Radcliffe was somewhat hesitant in his heart, these people’s fighting strength was exceedingly formidable.
And they were unfamiliar faces.
When he received the assassination mission, he thought it would be an easy task.
But after several exchanges, he exhausted all his skills, almost losing his life.
Speaking solely of the Heavenly Thunder, Vernon Radcliffe had executed his mission 171 times, using it thrice.
During those three times, his opponents were all peerless masters, yet the Heavenly Thunder sted them to charcoal just the same.
This person before him could actually retaliate.
Seemingly unharmed.
Identifying their identity now was impossible, all that remained was to finish them off and go back to analyze.
They had seen the faces of the world’s masters, the reason such a domineering figure hadn’t appeared was either they were hidden masters or some people had disguised themselves.
The face seen was not their true face.
“Feel the power of the Divine Dragon!”
Vernon Radcliffe sprinted across the snow, and with each step, his presence kept escting!
In the end, it even made Shadow Kims’s heart race!
It was simr to the power they felt when they worshipped the gods in the past.
Julius Reed stood still, squinting at Vernon Radcliffe.
A hundred meters!
Fifty meters!
Thirty meters!
Ten meters!
When the distance shrank to five meters, Julius Reed retrieved a rocketuncher from behind him.
Hoisting it onto his shoulder.
Instantly, Vernon Radcliffe froze.
His steps halted.
His eyes filled with incredulity!
Boom!
A shot rang out!
The golden rocket exploded, propelling Vernon Radcliffe dozens of meters into the air.
