Chapter 1969: Black Tortoise Bodyguard
The figure of Wyatt Barnes transformed into a "Nine-Claw Dragon Warrior," standing amidst the onslaught of hundreds of lightning bolts as thick as newborn arms.
Despite this, Wyatt remained unmoved, like a towering mountain.
The lightning flashed, and purple light glimmered, causing the dragon scales on Wyatt’s body to refract dazzling rays of light, sharp and brilliant.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Finally, the hundreds of thick bolts of lightning swept down, crashing heavily onto Wyatt, completely enveloping him.
Each bolt of lightning had an attack power equating to a strike from an early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm Martial Artist.
As they approached Wyatt, they almost converged into one, simultaneously hitting Wyatt’s body!
Instantaneously, Wyatt felt an immense, overwhelming, and terrifying force press down on him.
For a moment, Wyatt realized:
By relying on the strong body of the Nine-Claw Dragon Warrior infused with ’Solar Holy Power,’ although these forces made him tremble all over and shook his internal organs, they did not cause him any harm.
The impact was strong, yet it couldn’t break his exterior defense!
The flesh of the Nine-Claw Dragon Warrior, combined with Solar Holy Power comparable to ’Mid-Heavenly Saint Realm Holy Power,’ easily blocked Mats Davidson’s simultaneous strike involving ’Taoist Techniques’ and ’Divine Ability.’
"As expected, the body defense of the Nine-Claw Dragon Warrior rivals that of the Eight-Claw Divine Dragon!"
Wyatt breathed a sigh of relief.
"With Mats Davidson’s cultivation... this strike is most likely his strongest blow!"
Having withstood hundreds of lightning bolts as thick as newborn arms without a scratch, Wyatt felt a surge of triumph within, shedding all dragon features and reverting to his human form.
The Nine-Claw Dragon Warrior vanished, concealed...
"Now, it’s my turn to strike back!"
With a flash of vigor in his eyes, Wyatt dismissed the ’Sword Domain’ obscuring others’ view.
In the next moment, the unharmed Wyatt reappeared in the open.
Not far away, Mats Davidson’s pupils contracted, his face changing dramatically.
He had thought his full-force strike would at least injure Wyatt.
As long as Wyatt was injured, he would have an opening... perhaps he could delay until Wyatt’s auxiliary Divine Ability effect dissipated.
Once Wyatt’s auxiliary Divine Ability effect disappeared, he would revert completely, possibly even fall into a weakened state.
With Wyatt’s cultivation only at the pinnacle of the Earth Saint Realm, without auxiliary Divine Ability as support, he couldn’t possibly be his opponent!
However, imagination is beautiful, reality is harsh.
No matter how he exerted a preemptive full-force strike, he still couldn’t harm Wyatt!
Although he didn’t know the means Wyatt used while forming the domain...
Yet, Wyatt’s effortless reception of his full-force strike was undeniably true!
Precisely because of this, he was forced from a brief ’active’ role into a ’passive’ one.
"Unscathed, really?"
Meanwhile, a group of observing disciples from the Four Symbols Altar showed their shock upon witnessing Wyatt unharmed.
Though they knew Wyatt’s strength surpassed Mats Davidson’s, they hadn’t anticipated Wyatt’s ability to easily withstand Mats Davidson’s full-force strike!
"It’s just unfortunate that Senior Brother Wyatt condensed the domain, blocking our view... otherwise, we could also have witnessed how he took Senior Brother Mats Davidson’s strike!"
Many disciples from the Four Symbols Altar expressed regret over this.
Of course, they hadn’t considered that Wyatt deliberately condensed the domain to block their view.
They merely assumed Wyatt needed to rely on the domain to withstand Mats Davidson’s full-force strike.
"Senior Brother Mats Davidson is bound to lose!"
Simultaneously, the disciples of the Four Symbols Altar ominously thought, feeling that the battle held no suspense.
"Pardon me, Senior Brother Mats Davidson!"
And almost as the Four Symbols Altar disciples concluded the battle held no suspense, Wyatt had turned his gaze to Mats Davidson.
After greeting, a pair of wings engulfed in raging flames appeared behind Wyatt once more, exactly the wings transformed from the divine ability ’Golden Crow’s Wings.’
The next moment, the Golden Crow’s Wings flapped fiercely!
Immediately.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Another series of explosion-like sounds erupted, at the same time, Wyatt, moving at high speed, sharply cut towards Mats Davidson like a streaking comet.
And almost at the instant Wyatt’s ’Golden Crow’s Wings’ flapped vigorously, Mats Davidson’s expression also became solemn.
The Holy Power spread across his body rapidly increased, indicating that he was continuously mobilizing the Holy Power inside his body, as if preparing something.
In an instant, Wyatt’s swift figure was already near Mats Davidson.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
...
As Wyatt’s Solar Holy Power spread out from his body, golden sword energies materialized around him.
Each sword energy bore an unmatched sharp aura, seemingly able to tear through anything.
These sword energies numbered in the hundreds.
"Go!"
Wyatt Barnes murmured softly in his heart, and the hundreds of golden sword gleams that had been circling around his body suddenly seemed to receive a command and swept towards Mats Davidson like a downpour.
Hundreds of golden sword gleams pierced through the air, their might overbearing!
Although the scene was not as exaggerated as the previous strike by Mats Davidson, its power was in no way inferior to that strike, and as it broke through the air, it also exerted immense pressure on Mats Davidson.
"Black Tortoise Barrier!"
In front of everyone’s eyes, Mats Davidson’s eyes turned crimson as he suddenly let out a thunderous shout that was deafening.
It wasn’t just the group of Four Symbols Sect disciples who were shocked, with their pupils contracting and showing an expression of horror.
Even Wyatt Barnes was taken aback for a moment.
Black Tortoise Barrier?
The next moment, Wyatt Barnes clearly saw:
The hundreds of golden sword gleams, infused with the mysteries of the Supreme Heart Sword that he manipulated, hadn’t even gotten close to Mats Davidson before being halted by an invisible force.
It was as if they had hit an invisible wall!
Immediately afterwards, under everyone’s gaze:
A gigantic ’Black Tortoise Phantom’ mysteriously appeared around Mats Davidson’s body.
The Black Tortoise Phantom was semi-transparent and if one did not look carefully, it was almost indiscernible.
And the hundreds of golden sword gleams controlled by Wyatt Barnes were precisely stopped by it... It crouched there like an iron wall, firmly protecting Mats Davidson inside.
Of course, although it stopped hundreds of sword gleams, the Black Tortoise Phantom was not having an easy time either.
The massive Black Tortoise Phantom was struck with a violent tremor, and in the void, wave-like ripples appeared and constantly spread out.
Giving a sense of visual impact!
"So this is the Black Tortoise Barrier?"
After the unsuccessful strike, Wyatt Barnes did not rush to launch a second attack.
Even though he knew that using the Divine Ability ’Celestial Immortal’ could easily shatter the Black Tortoise Phantom before him, he was not in a hurry to do so.
Because he had something more important to do now!
Wyatt Barnes’s gaze was fixed on the Black Tortoise Phantom before him, as if observing something.
His mind was completely immersed in it...
And the other Four Symbols Sect disciples also came back to their senses at this moment, each showing a look of astonishment and disbelief, "Mats... Mats Davidson... Brother Mats Davidson, he actually succeeded in comprehending the Four Symbols Sect’s signature Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Barrier’?"
"The Black Tortoise Barrier is not only the Four Symbols Sect’s signature Divine Ability but also the Fire Worship Sect’s top defensive Divine Ability! Unexpectedly, Brother Mats Davidson actually succeeded in comprehending it!"
Succeeding in comprehending the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Barrier’ also means Brother Mats Davidson can directly go to the Holy Land and become a ’Holy Land disciple’!
"When did Brother Mats Davidson succeed in comprehending the Black Tortoise Barrier? Since he succeeded in comprehending the Black Tortoise Barrier, why hasn’t he left yet?"
...
A group of Four Symbols Sect disciples was discussing with great curiosity why Mats Davidson succeeded in comprehending the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Barrier’ but hasn’t left the first mining area.
"Could it be that Brother Mats Davidson just succeeded in comprehending the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Barrier’?"
Suddenly, a Four Symbols Sect disciple couldn’t help but guess.
His words immediately stirred up a wave of astonishment.
Immediately afterward, one after another doubtful gaze fell on Mats Davidson within the ’Black Tortoise Phantom’.
Just succeeded in comprehending the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Barrier’?
Is it true?
Their hearts were filled with doubt and curiosity.
"Brother Mats Davidson... your Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Barrier’, did you just succeed in comprehending it?"
Soon, Wyatt Barnes came back to his senses, a flash of brilliance in his eyes, and then looked towards Mats Davidson within the Black Tortoise Phantom, asking urgently.
At this moment, he also noticed that Mats Davidson’s face was full of joy.
Precisely because of this, he couldn’t help but ask.
Earlier, while observing the ’Black Tortoise Phantom’, Wyatt Barnes also discovered many raw traces on it.
Therefore, he guessed:
Mats Davidson probably just recently managed to comprehend the Four Symbols Sect’s signature Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Barrier’.
When he saw the joyful expression on Mats Davidson’s face, he couldn’t help but confirm:
Mats Davidson, more than likely just recently succeeded in comprehending the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Barrier’!
"Yes."
Facing Wyatt Barnes’s inquiry, Mats Davidson suppressed his inner exhilaration, then bowed to Wyatt Barnes, "Brother Wyatt, I can succeed in comprehending the ’Black Tortoise Barrier’ today, and you should take the most credit! Mats Davidson is here to thank you."
As soon as these words fell, Mats Davidson bowed deeply to Wyatt Barnes.
Seeing this scene, the group of Four Symbols Sect disciples was dumbfounded.
How did this happen?
Mats Davidson succeeded in comprehending the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Barrier’, how could he say his opponent deserves the most credit?
The group of Four Symbols Sect disciples was puzzled, and Wyatt Barnes was also puzzled, "Brother Mats Davidson... what do you mean by this?"
"Earlier, under the pressure your attack exerted on me, I felt as if I had gone through a life-and-death situation... and during that critical moment, many of the doubts I previously encountered in comprehending the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Barrier’ were resolved one by one!"
"It was under your oppression that I succeeded in comprehending the Divine Ability ’Black Tortoise Barrier’!"
In extremely good mood, Mats Davidson explained very patiently.
