Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2004: Intentional or Coincidence?

"Dead?"

"What’s... what’s going on here?"

"How is this possible?! Wade Yorke not only took the forbidden pill medicine but also mastered the advanced attack divine ability ’Descent of the Gun Emperor’ during the battle... With such power, isn’t killing Wyatt Barnes supposed to be easy? How could he be killed by Wyatt instead?"

"What was that sword whistle just now? Not only did it drown out the buzzing series of sword whistles, but when it resonated, it crushed Wade Yorke’s attack with overwhelming force... Even the bloody hole in Wade Yorke’s forehead was likely pierced by that sword move which made the sword whistle!"

"How could Wyatt Barnes be so powerful?!"

...

At the same time, Reuben Willow and the three Copper Flame Elders of the Life and Death Hall were deeply shocked, and ninety percent of the Holy Land disciples around the ’Death Duel Arena’ stood up, each showing expressions of horror and disbelief.

"I must be dreaming! It must be a dream!!"

A Holy Land disciple exclaimed in shock, then slapped himself.

Slap!

The burning pain on his face left him dumbfounded, "It’s not a dream... This isn’t a dream! How could this be possible?!"

"What kind of sword move did Wyatt Barnes use? From start to finish, whenever he used his sword moves, I couldn’t even see his sword!"

"His sword was so frighteningly fast... Only those beyond the ’Saint Immortal Realm’ could possibly see his sword moves clearly."

...

While a group of Holy Land disciples discussed, their gazes uniformly fell on the four Life and Death Hall Elders, led by the steward Asaiah Nigel.

The four of them were all existences beyond the ’Saint Immortal Realm’.

Many also turned their attention to Reuben Willow.

A small number, meanwhile, timely looked at Crag Powell, focusing on this figure who currently had the best chance among the elite disciples in the Holy Land to become a ’true disciple’.

"Brother Crag, could you see Wyatt Barnes’s sword moves clearly?"

A Holy Land disciple couldn’t help but ask.

"I couldn’t see it clearly."

Crag Powell shook his head and then said with a solemn expression, "Unless one’s cultivation has reached the ’Saint Immortal Realm’, it should be impossible to see Wyatt Barnes’s sword moves clearly... His sword moves are too fast, frighteningly fast!"

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

...

Although there were speculations, the surrounding Holy Land disciples couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath when they heard Crag Powell’s response.

"A sword move performed by someone at the peak of the Earth Saint Realm martial artist and only those beyond the ’Saint Immortal Realm’ can see it clearly? If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would find it hard to believe!"

Many Holy Land disciples exclaimed in amazement.

"So, among those present, only the four Life and Death Hall Elders and Brother Reuben Willow could see Wyatt Barnes’s sword moves clearly?"

More and more eyes among the Holy Land disciples turned to Asaiah Nigel, Reuben Willow, and the others.

"Brother Reuben Willow’s expression, along with the three Copper Flame Elders of the Life and Death Hall’s faces, seem a bit off..."

"I noticed! Their expressions have been off since a while ago."

"Could it be... they’re like us, unable to see Wyatt Barnes’s sword moves clearly?"

"How is that possible?!"

...

And just as a group of Holy Land disciples was whispering among themselves.

One of the Copper Flame Elders from the Life and Death Hall timely spoke out, his voice loud and clear, "At first, I could see Wyatt Barnes’s sword moves. But the last sword move that made the phoenix-like sword whistle... ashamed to say, I wasn’t able to catch even a trace of the sword shadow."

"The same goes for me."

"Same here."

The other two Copper Flame Elders nodded in agreement.

"Same here."

Meanwhile, Reuben Willow, who was under the gaze of many, also nodded solemnly.

With the statements from the three Copper Flame Elders and Reuben Willow, the entire Life and Death Hall fell into dead silence.

At this time, even if a pin were dropped on the ground, it would be heard clearly.

The group present, including the steward Asaiah Nigel, were all stunned.

Even Asaiah Nigel could hardly believe it:

His Life and Death Hall’s three Copper Flame Elders and disciple Reuben Willow couldn’t clearly see the last sword move executed by Wyatt Barnes.

And he, having his line of sight blocked by Wyatt Barnes’s body and failing to react in time, also did not see Wyatt Barnes’s final, and most crucial, strike.

That strike directly shattered the ’Phantom of the Gun Emperor’s’ attack, shattered the ’Phantom of the Gun Emperor’, and killed Wade Yorke before he could react!

From the smile on Wade Yorke’s face at the moment of death, it was clear that up until the moment he was killed, Wade Yorke had not realized what happened.

From this, we can see just how fast Wyatt Barnes’ sword was!

Whoosh!

As everyone in the Life and Death Hall was stunned, Wyatt Barnes also flew out, landing on the death duel platform, beside Wade Yorke’s corpse.

Only after confirming that Wade Yorke was truly dead did he relax.

In the past, in the Lower Domain of Martial Dao Sacred Land, the Junior House Master of Sky-scraping Mansion, Peace Adams, didn’t die even after having his brow pierced by Wyatt’s sword.

Having learned from past mistakes, Wyatt naturally didn’t want to repeat them.

"It’s a pity... There are so many Saint Immortal Realm powerhouses present. Even if I conjure the ’Wan Jian domain,’ it can’t block their sight."

Standing next to Wade Yorke’s corpse, Wyatt very much wanted to swallow the not yet completely dissipated ’innate spiritual root’ of Wade Yorke, but in the end, he restrained himself.

The act of swallowing an innate spiritual root isn’t subtle, and would surely draw the attention of those few Saint Immortal powerhouse.

Particularly the Life and Death Hall Overseer Asaiah Nigel, who would definitely see through his actions!

Wan Jian domain, although it is condensed with Suncelestial force, once conjured, forms a flaming golden sphere with a diameter of one hundred meters, capable of obstructing others’ view.

However, with Wyatt Barnes’ current Suncelestial force, the domain can only obscure the sight of those below the Saint Immortal Realm.

The vision of those above the Saint Immortal Realm cannot be blocked by the domain he conjures now.

If it weren’t for this, from the start, he could have executed the Wan Jian domain, enveloping himself and Wade Yorke, and using the third realm of the Supreme Heart Sword’s sword commanding technique to instantly kill Wade Yorke with lightning-fast strikes of the Splendid Fairy Sword!

This way, he wouldn’t have needed to waste so much effort.

Today, engaging Wade Yorke in battle for so long, he actually had only one aim:

To make the Life and Death Hall Overseer Asaiah Nigel lower his guard!

This was because he had long learned from Elder Fire:

With his current strength and using the third realm of the Supreme Heart Sword’s sword commanding technique to fully wield the Splendid Fairy Sword, only those above ’Saint Immortal Realm third transform’ could detect traces of the Splendid Fairy Sword’s movement.

As for Reuben Willow, and the other three copper flame elders of Life and Death Hall, perhaps they could capture the traces of his ’Holy Sword with hundred engravings’ driven by the third realm of the Supreme Heart Sword’s sword commanding technique, but they definitely couldn’t catch the traces of the Splendid Fairy Sword.

"However, that single strike almost exhausted all my strength."

At this moment, a sense of emptiness arose within Wyatt Barnes, as his Suncelestial force was nearly depleted.

Additionally, the mental fatigue completely wiped out the effects of the Minor Devouring Technique.

Now, even an ordinary Heavenly Saint Realm martial artist could easily kill Wyatt Barnes!

It can be said that from the start, when killing Wade Yorke today, Wyatt Barnes was laying a ’trap.’

Of course, this ’trap’ wasn’t for Wade Yorke, but for the Life and Death Hall Overseer Asaiah Nigel, to prevent Asaiah Nigel from noticing the Splendid Fairy Sword in his hand.

After all, if the Splendid Fairy Sword were exposed, it would only bring disaster.

Also, from the beginning, Wyatt Barnes never took Wade Yorke seriously.

Just a martial artist of ’Saint Immortal Realm first transform’!

If he wielded the Splendid Fairy Sword with the third realm of the Supreme Heart Sword’s sword commanding technique at full force, he could kill even those of ’Saint Immortal Realm second transform’!

Thus, even having taken the forbidden Pill Medicine and raised his Saint Origin to ’Saint Immortal Realm second transform,’ Wade Yorke ultimately died at Wyatt Barnes’ hands.

"Although killing Wade Yorke today owed much to the Splendid Fairy Sword... the sword commanding technique granted by the third realm of the Supreme Heart Sword was also not without merit."

Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.

The confidence Wyatt Barnes had from the beginning that he could kill Wade Yorke came from the third realm of the Supreme Heart Sword’s ’sword commanding by heart’ and the immortal treasure, the Splendid Fairy Sword.

"Elder Nigel!"

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes, using his remaining Suncelestial force, ascended into the air and approached Life and Death Hall Overseer Asaiah Nigel, handing over his ’crystal card,’ "Deduct four hundred thousand contribution points from it, and then return it to me."

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Asaiah Nigel came to his senses and gave Wyatt Barnes a deep glance.

He didn’t rush to take Wyatt Barnes’ crystal card or return the ’Shooting Sun Bow’ to Wyatt Barnes, but instead asked Wyatt Barnes with deep meaning, "Wyatt Barnes, did you deliberately avoid using that last sword strike against me?"

It’s no wonder Asaiah Nigel thought so.

Wyatt Barnes and Wade Yorke had been fighting for so long, and Asaiah Nigel’s sight was not blocked from the start.

Until that critical moment when Wyatt Barnes’ body blocked his line of sight, preventing him from seeing how Wyatt executed that move.

This felt too ’coincidental’ to him.

"Elder Nigel, what do you mean? I avoided deploying it against you? Where did this talk come from?"

While Wyatt Barnes was internally astonished by Asaiah Nigel’s ’guess’, his face showed a look of bewilderment, revealing not the slightest flaw.

Asaiah Nigel scrutinized Wyatt Barnes closely, trying to find any flaw on Wyatt Barnes’ face, but in the end, he found none.

"Could it be that I’ve overthought this?"

At this moment, he couldn’t help but wonder.

Thinking this, he temporarily stopped pursuing the matter, raised his hand to return the Shooting Sun Bow to Wyatt Barnes, and took Wyatt Barnes’ crystal card.
