Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 1992: Causing a Stir in the Central Plaza

Hearing the other party’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but smile wryly to himself.

However, he didn’t continue to debate this topic further with Guan Xiu, because he knew this was a world where respect was for the powerful, and Guan Xiu calling him ’senior brother’ was truly genuine.

If he called Guan Xiu ’senior brother’ in return, it would indeed put quite a bit of pressure on Guan Xiu.

"Senior Brother Wyatt, although your strength is formidable, compared to the true disciples, it might still fall short... Any of the true disciples are existence beyond the ’Saint Immortal Realm’! Especially this Senior Brother Wade Yorke, he entered the ’First Transformation of the Saint Immortal’ years ago!"

Guan Xiu’s face was solemn, as he reminded Wyatt through voice transmission.

Facing Guan Xiu’s good intentions, Wyatt felt warmth fill his heart, because after all, he and Guan Xiu had only crossed paths once, and it was rare for Guan Xiu to go to such lengths.

"Rest assured!"

Wyatt transmitted back a reassuring message to Guan Xiu, giving him a reassuring glance. Then, under the helpless gaze of Guan Xiu and Mats Davidson, he flew forward to catch up with the true disciple ’Wade Yorke’, who had already covered some distance.

"Hmm?"

Seeing Wyatt actually dare to follow him, Wade’s face involuntarily became serious.

"He really dares to follow?"

"It seems he won’t give up before signing the ’Life and Death Covenant’."

"He truly is determined... But by doing this, even if his strength is far inferior to Senior Brother Wade, he still brings considerable pressure to Senior Brother Wade."

"Indeed. Look at Senior Brother Wade’s face, it’s become serious."

...

As the gaze of disciples from the Holy Land fell on Wade, the seriousness on Wade’s face disappeared, and then he gave Wyatt a contemptuous glance, dismissively saying, "Wyatt Barnes, I’m curious to see... when we reach the Life and Death Hall, facing the Life and Death Covenant, will you still be as bold as you are now!"

"I hope by then you’ll obediently sign the Life and Death Covenant... Otherwise, I’ll make sure to pull your nails out one by one, making you wish for death!"

As he spoke, Wade’s tone became increasingly cold, as if emerging from an ice cave. Though it wasn’t directed at the crowd of disciples, it still sent a chill down their spines.

"Pull my nails out one by one?"

Hearing Wade’s cruel words, a flash of murderous intent flickered deep in Wyatt’s eyes.

However, his expression remained frighteningly calm.

"Hmph! I wonder how long you can play this charade!"

Seeing Wyatt’s unchanged expression after hearing his cruel words, Wade was embarrassed and angry. With a cold snort, he suddenly accelerated, quickly heading towards the direction of the Shengdao central plaza.

Wyatt followed unhurriedly from behind, showing no intention of fleeing at the last minute.

Behind them, Mats Davidson, Guan Xiu, and a host of spectating Holy Land disciples followed suit.

When the group arrived above the central plaza of the Holy Island, the large crowd also alarmed the group of disciples within the central plaza!

"What’s going on? Why have so many people suddenly come?"

"Huh? The person leading seems to be Senior Brother Wade Yorke!"

"It is indeed Senior Brother Wade! The group behind him seems to have been brought by Senior Brother Wade."

"Senior Brother Wade’s expression seems a bit off... What’s happening?"

...

In the Fire Worship Sect’s Holy Land, there are only more than one hundred and seventy true disciples, so it wasn’t long before many Holy Land disciples recognized the true disciple ’Wade Yorke’.

Even if Wade’s strength was at the lower end among the true disciples.

But with so few true disciples, it’s still easy to recognize them.

"Senior Brother Wade... is he planning to go to the ’Life and Death Hall’?"

"Oh my goodness! What’s going on?!"

"Is Senior Brother Wade planning to engage in a life-and-death duel with another true disciple?"

...

When they saw Wade heading towards the ’Life and Death Hall’ on the side of the central plaza, the thousand-strong crowd of disciples on the central plaza became excited, causing the whole plaza to become noisy.

When Wade’s figure landed outside the ’Life and Death Hall’, the crowd of a thousand disciples, hearing the story’s context from the followers, learned of the ins and outs:

"Senior Brother Wade is actually the son of the Fifth Elder of the North Qi Sect?"

"The young man behind Senior Brother Wade, is he Wyatt Barnes, who has recently become famous throughout the Fire Worship Sect? The Nine-clawed Dragon Warrior? A genius martial artist mastering four high-level Divine Abilities?"

"Today, was it Wyatt Barnes who issued the ’Life and Death Challenge’ to Senior Brother Wade?"

...

When the ins and outs of the matter were ’exposed’, the crowd of disciples on the central plaza erupted again.

An ordinary elite disciple challenging a true disciple with a ’Life and Death Challenge’... Looking through the history of the Fire Worship Sect, such an absurd event seemed unprecedented!

After all, true disciples represent the powerful strength of the ’Saint Immortal Realm’, which ordinary elite disciples cannot compare to!

For a time, more disciples, like those who just arrived, believed Wyatt Barnes was playing tricks, deliberately scaring Wade:

"I bet Wyatt Barnes won’t dare to sign once he’s in the Life and Death Hall facing the Life and Death Covenant!"

"This Wyatt Barnes is no simple character; he’s been playing ’psychological tactics’ all along... I bet he’ll wait for Senior Brother Wade to sign his name and stamp his handprint on the Life and Death Covenant before refusing to sign!"

"From the looks of it, there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance he will do it... Once Brother Wade hesitates when faced with the Life and Death Contract, doesn’t dare to sign it, then this ’psychological battle,’ he’ll have won!"

...

The discussions among the Holy Land disciples naturally also reached Wyatt Barnes’ ears.

Psychological tactics?

Perhaps.

Not only did Wyatt hear the words of these Holy Land disciples, even Wade Yorke heard them too.

For a moment, Wade hesitated.

Faced with the Life and Death Contract, until now, he seemed indeed unprepared mentally.

Even in bringing Wyatt here, it was more about trying to intimidate Wyatt... After all, he only had more than ninety percent certainty he could kill Wyatt now!

The reason he wasn’t completely sure was because even now, he couldn’t confirm if Wyatt, daring to propose the Life and Death challenge, truly had the strength, or was just putting up a front!

This was also due to the death of his younger brother, Warren Yorke.

He knew very well how Warren died.

It was Warren who first issued the Life and Death Battle to Wyatt, and during that battle, Warren was killed by Wyatt.

Because of this, he had some psychological shadow.

Even though deep in his heart, he one hundred percent believed Wyatt couldn’t be his match... Because of the psychological shadow, he didn’t dare to truly resolve to engage in a life-and-death battle with Wyatt!

As an older brother, he didn’t want to follow in his younger brother’s footsteps.

"Is this Wyatt really planning to wait until after I’ve signed the Life and Death Contract and placed my handprint on it... only then to back out?"

At this thought, Wade’s heart sank.

However, facing the thousands of Holy Land disciples that followed him, Wade also knew that today’s matter could not end peacefully.

As the saying goes:

Once the bow is drawn, there’s no turning back!

"Life and Death Hall?"

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes, closely following behind Wade Yorke, had his eyes fall upon the magnificently grand hall ahead, noticing the plaque hanging above the main door, with the words ’Life and Death Hall’ written in a flourish.

"Why has Brother Wade stopped?"

"Go inside... we’re already at the door, why stop now?"

"Is Brother Wade really scared? He’s an ’inner disciple’... yet he’s afraid of an ordinary elite disciple who’s just putting up a front?"

...

Because Wade, who was leading the way, stood quietly outside the Life and Death Hall for a long time, the group of Holy Land disciples who followed for the spectacle grew impatient and began to criticize.

"Hmph! So much for an inner disciple... if you’re scared, just leave now, stop making a fool of yourself!"

"He’s completely disgraced the face of inner disciples today!"

...

No matter when or where, there are always people eager for chaos. Many Holy Land disciples hid in the shadows, afraid of being caught by Wade, yet couldn’t help but ridicule him.

"Shut up!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, Wade, with a composed yet angry expression, opened his mouth. His voice was so loud it drowned out the noise at the entrance of the Life and Death Hall, causing the group of Holy Land disciples to fall silent.

Under many watchful eyes, Wade turned, gave Wyatt a cold glance, and said in a deep voice, "Wyatt Barnes, I hope that when I sign the Life and Death Contract, you’ll also have the guts to sign your name and place your handprint..."

"If by then you back out... I will not only rip out your fingernails one by one, but also tear the skin from your face in pieces, ruining your face!"

After speaking, without waiting for Wyatt’s response, Wade turned and stepped forward, entering the ’Life and Death Hall.’

As soon as Wade’s words fell, Wyatt’s expression also changed, no longer maintaining his previous calm demeanor.

Tear the skin from his face in pieces?

Wade’s brutality completely infuriated Wyatt, and he could no longer remain composed.

Seeing Wade enter the Life and Death Hall first, Wyatt followed him inside.

"They’ve gone in!"

"Come on! Let’s follow and watch the excitement!"

"The ’Death Duel Arena’ of the Life and Death Hall hasn’t opened in a long time... This time, I’m going to bet all my contribution points from my crystal card on it! Even if the odds for betting on Brother Wade’s victory aren’t high."

"Isn’t it too early to say this? It’s not even certain if that Wyatt will truly dare to sign the Life and Death Contract."

...

The group of Holy Land disciples behind both created a commotion as they followed along.

However, they stopped at the entrance of the Life and Death Hall.

Unless the ’Life and Death Contract’ was formed and the Death Duel Arena of the Life and Death Hall opened... they weren’t allowed inside the Life and Death Hall.
