Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2017: History Repeats Itself

Wyatt Barnes wanted to leave.

But would Emma Wenston let him leave?

The answer was naturally no!

"Trying to escape?"

Emma’s eyes turned cold, and with a sharp shout, she moved swiftly, as if transforming into a gust of wind, blocking Wyatt Barnes’s path in an instant.

This scene was all too familiar to the group of Holy Land disciples who had just stepped out of the ’Heritage Hall’...

Only this time, the roles of blocker and blockee were reversed.

Inside the Heritage Hall, it was Wyatt Barnes who blocked Emma Wenston’s way.

Now, it was Emma who’s blocking Wyatt Barnes’s way.

"Escape?"

Hearing Emma’s cold shout and seeing her blocking his path, Wyatt sneered, "Emma, you overestimate yourself too much, don’t you? To think I, Wyatt Barnes, would escape from you, a mere ’True Disciple’ ranked ninth on the True Inheritor Ranking!"

Just as Emma, fuming to the extreme, had her inner Saint Origin roaring and was ready to strike,

Wyatt continued, "I’m now planning to go to the Life and Death Hall... If you dare, come with me and sign a ’Life and Death Covenant’! I suppose... you must be itching to kill me at this point, right?"

"If that’s the case, I’ll give you a chance to kill me... What do you say?"

Wyatt’s tone shifted, leaving everyone present hearing something they hadn’t expected.

Wyatt Barnes actually wanted to have a ’life-and-death duel’ with Emma!

"Life and Death Hall? Life and Death Covenant?"

Wyatt’s voice wasn’t quiet, and it shocked not only the group of Holy Land disciples emerging from the Heritage Hall but also those gathered around the central plaza, who immediately flocked towards the direction of the Heritage Hall upon hearing him.

"Is Wyatt going to the Life and Death Hall again?"

"With whom does Wyatt plan to sign a ’Life and Death Covenant’ this time?"

...

The disciples flocking to the Heritage Hall had only caught the last part of Wyatt’s words, so they weren’t sure with whom Wyatt intended to sign a ’Life and Death Covenant’.

"Eh? Isn’t that Senior Sister Emma confronting Wyatt?"

"It really is Senior Sister Emma! Could it be that Wyatt wants to go to the Life and Death Hall with her to sign a Life and Death Covenant?"

...

Meanwhile, many newly arrived Holy Land disciples recognized Emma.

Emma, as one of the two most outstanding female True Disciples of the younger generation in the Fire Worship Sect, and being ranked ninth on the True Inheritor Ranking, was naturally known to everyone in the Holy Land.

Seeing Wyatt facing off with Emma, the newly arrived disciples couldn’t help but be puzzled.

How did these two end up confronting each other?

Moments later, after the Holy Land disciples who had come out of the Heritage Hall explained the events, those new to the scene quickly understood what had transpired.

"Wyatt and Senior Sister Emma must hold a grudge! Otherwise, he shouldn’t have treated her like that."

"I was just wondering why there’s a faint slap mark on Senior Sister Emma’s face... It turns out it’s from a slap by Wyatt!"

"Wyatt is way too bold, not only provoking Senior Sister Emma but also declaring his intention to sign a ’Life and Death Covenant’ with her... Is he really that confident in himself?"

"Perhaps it’s just a bluff!"

"A bluff? Last time, Wade Yorke thought Wyatt’s challenge to a ’life-and-death duel’ was a bluff, but what happened? He ended up dead!"

"Are you implying that Wyatt is confident he can kill Senior Sister Emma and thus initiated the ’life-and-death duel’ with her?"

...

After learning the details, the Holy Land disciples began to discuss fervently.

In their conversations, a small number of people felt Wyatt might truly have the power to kill Emma, but the vast majority still believed Wyatt was no match for her.

For many of them:

Emma’s strength left a much deeper impression than Wyatt’s!

"I wonder if Senior Sister Emma will agree to Wyatt’s ’life-and-death duel’!"

"She probably will... After all, Wyatt publicly humiliated her, and with her temper, she probably wants nothing more than to kill him!"

"Hmph! If Wyatt truly dares to sign a ’Life and Death Covenant’ with Senior Sister Emma... today, he is bound to die!"

...

Most Holy Land disciples did not favor Wyatt’s chances.

Suddenly, a disciple who had been closely observing Emma exclaimed, "Didn’t you notice... Senior Sister Emma’s expression has grown somewhat grim?"

"It seems she is wary of Wyatt and may not dare accept his ’life-and-death duel’!"

This comment led all present disciples to turn their gaze toward Emma.

Indeed, after hearing Wyatt’s proposal for a ’life-and-death duel’, Emma’s expression became solemn, and she hesitated to respond to him.

"No way? Senior Sister Emma is scared?"

"This... How is that possible?! Isn’t Senior Sister Emma ranked ninth on the True Inheritor Ranking? Does she really lack the courage to face Wyatt in a life-or-death battle?"

"Who knows what Senior Sister Emma is thinking... Maybe she feels accepting Wyatt’s ’life-and-death duel’ is too risky!"

...

Many Holy Land disciples shook their heads, their words filled with disappointment.

Just like a group of Holy Land disciples mentioned:

Emma Wenston is truly scared now!

When Wyatt Barnes said he was going to the Life and Death Hall to sign a ’Life and Death Covenant’ with her, she immediately thought of ’Wade Yorke’, who died at Wyatt Barnes’ hands a month ago.

She was well aware of the ins and outs of that incident.

Initially, it was Wyatt Barnes who initiated the ’Life and Death Duel’ with Wade Yorke.

At that time, not just Wade Yorke, but all the other Holy Land disciples unanimously believed Wyatt Barnes was putting on a show, convinced Wyatt was no match for Wade Yorke.

As a result, after Wyatt Barnes and Wade Yorke signed the ’Life and Death Covenant’ in the Life and Death Hall, few people bet on Wyatt Barnes; almost everyone placed their bets on Wade Yorke.

They all thought the one who would survive was definitely ’Wade Yorke’!

However, the outcome was beyond everyone’s expectations:

Wyatt Barnes killed Wade Yorke!

This "new disciple" that over ninety percent of the Holy Land disciples had doubted, killed Wade Yorke, who had long become a ’True Inheritor’!

Today, history repeats itself.

Wyatt Barnes once again initiated a ’Life and Death Duel’!

Only this time, the target isn’t Wade Yorke but her ’Emma Wenston’!

Emma Wenston is confident in her skills, but Wyatt is a ’mystery’ to her.

Since Wyatt Barnes entered the Fire Worship Sect, from rising through the Four Symbols Hall to entering the Holy Land, it has taken less than a year...

Even when Wyatt Barnes killed Wade Yorke last time, she couldn’t be certain if he still had hidden trump cards up his sleeve.

Because of this, she dared not accept Wyatt Barnes’ challenge for a ’Life and Death Duel’.

Death, everyone fears it, and she is no exception.

Once people die, they have nothing left!

"What? Afraid?"

Seeing Emma Wenston with a heavy demeanor and not responding for a while, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but sneer in contempt, "If you’re afraid, then get as far away as possible! Good dogs don’t block the way!!"

Watching this scene, many Holy Land disciples couldn’t help but shake their heads.

"I really don’t know what Sister Emma Wenston is thinking... not seizing such a good opportunity."

"Maybe, Wade Yorke’s death last time also left Sister Emma Wenston with ’psychological shadows’..."

"The ninth on the True Inheritance List... laughable! If it were Sister Paisley Flores, ranked seventh on the True Inheritance List, she definitely wouldn’t be as cowardly as Emma Wenston."

"Naturally! Sister Paisley Flores has always been stronger than Emma Wenston."

...

The whispering among some Holy Land disciples also brought up the seventh-ranked ’Paisley Flores’, Keer’s twin sister.

"Sister Emma Wenston, after all, is no match for Sister Paisley Flores!"

"There’s a rumor that... Sister Paisley Flores was detained by the Enforcement Hall because Emma Wenston reported her! Emma Wenston’s action is clearly abusing authority for personal gain, trying to use the Enforcement Hall’s hand to remove Sister Paisley Flores."

"Is this news true?"

"Anyhow, I find it highly credible."

"If that’s true... Emma Wenston is too sinister! Can’t openly compete against Sister Paisley Flores, always overshadowed by her, and resorted to deceptive methods to get Sister Paisley Flores into the Enforcement Hall!"

"Regardless of how Sister Paisley Flores will be punished by the Enforcement Hall in the future, my ’goddess’ will always be Sister Paisley Flores! As for Emma Wenston, she will forever not measure up to Sister Paisley Flores in my heart."

"Same here."

...

As soon as a Holy Land disciple mentioned ’Paisley Flores’ ranking seventh on the True Inheritance List, the gathered Holy Land disciples were once again stirred, with many revealing additional shocking details.

Many Holy Land disciples, who just called Emma Wenston ’Sister’, now directly referred to her by name, losing all respect.

In an instant, Emma Wenston was thrust into the eye of the storm!

Hearing the discussion among the surrounding Holy Land disciples, Emma Wenston, already in a foul mood, instantly seethed with fury.

"Silence all of you!"

Suddenly, Emma Wenston coldly shouted, her icy gaze sweeping over the surrounding Holy Land disciples, which instantly silenced the bustling disciples.

However, although the Holy Land disciples quieted down, the disdain in their gaze towards Emma Wenston intensified.

At this moment, silence spoke louder than words.

"Hmph!"

Utterly furious over the discernible contemptuous gazes of the Holy Land disciples, Emma Wenston quickly looked at Wyatt Barnes again, coldly snorting, "Wyatt Barnes, I don’t want your life... I want to slowly torment you, only then can I relieve the hatred in my heart!"

As soon as she spoke, Emma Wenston’s Saint Origin surged within her, a wave of terrifying energy emanating from her body.

"Afraid is afraid, why find excuses?!"

Hearing Emma’s words, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but coldly laugh.
