Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 1977: Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior!

The ’Blade Web’ swept forth, accompanied by the eerie wails of ghosts, with its target locked on Wyatt Barnes...

One can imagine, once Wyatt is enveloped by the Blade Web, he will surely face certain death!

"With my current displayed strength, it’s impossible to block Kian Hayden’s strike... It seems I can only transform into the ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’!"

Facing the imposing ’Blade Web,’ in a flash of lightning, the vast solar holy power within Wyatt instantly stimulated the hidden ’Dragon Power’ throughout his body, causing it to permeate his body surface.

Where the Dragon Power passed, Wyatt’s body underwent a world-shaking transformation in the blink of an eye.

Wyatt’s hands and feet instantly transformed into ’dragon claws.’

His entire body was covered with scales that shimmered with a cold light, transforming him into a humanoid Divine Dragon below his chin.

Stretching the four dragon claws—each with nine talons—Wyatt felt the explosive power coursing through them. His gaze turned slightly cold as he hefted the ’Hundred-patterned Sacred Sword’ and advanced on the oncoming ’Blade Web,’ intent on confronting it head-on.

And now, Wyatt had no choice but to do so!

After transforming into the ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior,’ his speed did not increase much; the most significant enhancement was to his defense and the strength of his physical body.

The strength of his body, combined with the solar holy power within him, could also unleash stronger attacks!

At this point, Wyatt no longer held back his ability to transform into a ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior.’

For it simply couldn’t be concealed!

Facing Kian Hayden, whose strength had greatly increased after consuming a forbidden Pill Medicine, he had only two choices.

If he did not make a choice between these two, he faced certain death!

One of the choices was to transform into a ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’;

The other choice was to unleash the celestial treasure, the ’Splendid Fairy Sword.’

With his current solar holy power, he was confident in slaying even a ’First Layer Saint Immortal’ with the Splendid Fairy Sword... let alone Kian Hayden, whose strength was merely approaching the ’Saint Immortal Realm’!

However, for him, exposing the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ was more troublesome than revealing his transformation into a ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior.’

Once the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ was exposed, even the Sect Leader of the Fire Worship Sect would covet it!

Therefore, he decisively chose to transform into a ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior.’

After transforming into the Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, Wyatt’s defense and body strength increased by more than just a level!

"If only Kian Hayden had come seven or eight days later, I wouldn’t have had to transform into the ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’ to contend with him!"

This thought arose in Wyatt’s mind as he transformed into the ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior.’

Because, given another seven or eight days, he could have spent more time comprehending the ’Black Tortoise Guard’ in the fourth level of the Jewel Tower for seventy or eighty days.

And he was confident that within seventy or eighty days, he could successfully comprehend and master the ’Black Tortoise Guard’!

However, Kian Hayden didn’t give him the time and hurried over.

"What is that..."

After Wyatt transformed into the ’Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior’ and moved to meet Kian Hayden’s Blade Web attack, the pupils of the gathered Four Symbols Altar disciples all shrank, their faces filled with shock as they stared intently at Wyatt.

At this moment, Wyatt looked completely different in their eyes!

From a human, he transformed into a humanoid ’Odd Species’ with a dragon body!

"It’s the transformation into a ’Dragon Warrior’!"

Among the present Four Symbols Altar disciples, there were those with keen eyesight, who recognized Wyatt’s technique at a glance.

"Dragon Warrior?"

"According to legend, every Dragon Warrior is a human granted the ’Power of Transformation’ by a Divine Dragon with seven or more claws... And each Divine Dragon with seven or more claws can only create one Dragon Warrior in their lifetime!"

"I never thought Brother Wyatt Barnes was also a Dragon Warrior... I wonder which seven-clawed Divine Dragon from the current Dragonsmith Clan created the ’Seven-Clawed Dragon Warrior’?"

...

As the pupils of the Four Symbols Altar disciples narrowed, they couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves.

At this time, their attention was entirely focused on Wyatt and failed to notice each of his dragon claws had nine talons...

Otherwise, they would have been utterly astonished.

For to them, the Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior was a legendary existence.

"Heavenly Flying Immortal!"

As Wyatt, the Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, rapidly advanced toward the ’Blade Web,’ he split into five.

Four replicas, lifelike, wielding equally realistic ’Hundred-patterned Sacred Swords,’ indistinguishable from the real.

’Heavenly Flying Immortal’ is a high-level sword technique divine ability, without the necessity of swooping down to unleash it.

The five Wyatts, under the propulsion of the divine ’Golden Crow Wings,’ met the charging ’Blade Web’ with incredible speed.

If Wyatt, before transforming into the Nine-Clawed Dragon Warrior, performing ’Heavenly Flying Immortal,’ resembled five immortals...

Now, performing ’Heavenly Flying Immortal,’ Wyatt looked every bit like five demons emerging from the endless abyss, and indeed, humanoid dragon-bodied demons!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

....

Accompanied by the fleeting sound of sword whistles, the five Hundred-patterned Sacred Swords in Wyatt’s hands intertwined to meet the ’Blade Web.’

At this moment, not only did Wyatt Barnes completely unleash the Holy Power of the sun that had been enhanced by the ’Minor Devouring Technique’, but he also fully engaged the powerful physical strength derived from the Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!

Finally, Wyatt Barnes faced the ’Blade Web’.

The five glaring sword auras that interwove through the ’Blade Web’ shattered over a hundred knife gleams in an instant.

The power that erupted from Wyatt’s transformation into the ’Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior’ was equally close to the ’Saint Immortal Realm’. Facing the thousand knife gleams slashed by the separate ’Blade King Apparition’ of Kian Hayden, Wyatt was naturally unfazed.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

...

However, there were still too many knife gleams woven into the ’Blade Web’. Even though Wyatt Barnes shattered some with his sword, many still landed on Wyatt.

In a moment, Wyatt’s four avatars couldn’t withstand it and collapsed first.

"Roar!!"

At the same time, a beast-like roar erupted from deep within Wyatt’s throat.

Swoosh!

Simultaneously, behind him, a massive and sharp dragon tail appeared, whipping outwards and effortlessly smashing many of the incoming knife gleams.

Yet, despite this, many knife gleams still struck Wyatt Barnes.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

...

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, the knife gleams landing on Wyatt Barnes created sparks from the rapid friction.

The dragon scales on Wyatt’s body blocked these knife gleams.

However, deep knife marks were left on the dragon scales. Just a bit deeper, and they could have pierced through the scales.

"Kian Hayden!"

Having successfully dispelled the ’Blade Web’, Wyatt Barnes looked coldly at Kian Hayden standing in the distance, and shouted suddenly.

As he shouted, the pair of ’Golden Crow’s Wings’ behind Wyatt started to flap rapidly.

The next moment.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

...

With a series of ear-splitting blasts, Wyatt Barnes, in his humanoid dragon form and aided by the ’Golden Crow’s Wings’, surged towards Kian Hayden at an incredible speed, causing Kian to suddenly change color.

Just because, in that earlier strike, Kian had already used his full strength!

The full strength referred to here was the one employed after consuming the forbidden Pill Medicine ’Returning to the Extreme Pill’!

Kian Hayden originally thought that under such a powerful attack, Wyatt Barnes would undoubtedly perish!

Even though Wyatt transformed into a ’Dragon Warrior’, which surprised him, he still didn’t believe Wyatt could withstand the full-strength attack, imbued with the Divine Ability ’Blade King Apparition’ and the knife technique ’Ghostly Shadow Thousand Slashes’.

Of course, he thought this way because, like the other Four Symbols Platform disciples, he intuitively believed Wyatt was merely a ’Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior’!

If Wyatt had really been a ’Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior’ today, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to withstand Kian Hayden’s full-strength strike head-on, let alone resolve it.

"How could a Seven-clawed Dragon Warrior be this strong?!"

With this thought, Kian Hayden instinctively looked at Wyatt Barnes’ dragon claws.

It was this gaze that nearly scared the soul out of him!

"Nine... Nine claws?!"

This was because he clearly saw that each of the dragon claws on Wyatt Barnes, after transforming into a Dragon Warrior, had nine sharp talons, belonging to the ’Nine-clawed Divine Dragon’.

The Nine-clawed Divine Dragon was a legendary existence among the Dragonsmith Clan, also known as the ’Nine-clawed Ancestral Dragon’ or ’Nine-clawed Yinglong’!

"This Wyatt Barnes... is actually a ’Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior’?!"

Kian Hayden’s face turned ghastly pale, and facing the menacing Wyatt Barnes, he remained motionless.

Because the effect of the forbidden Pill Medicine ’Returning to the Extreme Pill’ he had taken had significantly worn off, it was now utterly impossible for him to execute the same strike as before!

For this reason, Kian Hayden faced Wyatt Barnes without a single trace of battle intent anymore.

"Is that... Nine claws?!"

Meanwhile, witnessing Wyatt Barnes destroy the ’Blade Web’ formed by Kian Hayden’s thousand knife gleams and charge towards Kian at incredible speed, many disciples of the Four Symbols Platform noticed the difference in Wyatt’s dragon claws.

"These are the claws of a ’Nine-clawed Divine Dragon’?"

"A Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior?! Oh my! Senior Brother Wyatt Barnes... is actually a Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior!!"

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"

...

The surrounding disciples of the Four Symbols Platform, regaining their senses one after another, were filled with shock and disbelief as they kept their eyes fixed on Wyatt Barnes.

"How is this possible?!"

The person sent by Maximus Lee, the first Elder Silver Flame of the Black Tortoise Tower, to monitor Kian Hayden, also had a contracted pupil, and his face changed drastically.
