Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2096: One of the Fire Worship Sect’s Eight Talented Geniuses?

Wyatt Barnes’s gaze turned cold, and the murderous intent from him was released without any disguise, even the group of loose cultivators who came to watch the excitement could feel it.

"This True Inheritor of the Fire Worship Sect actually wants to kill Stephen James?"

Many of the loose cultivators looked surprised, not expecting that this True Inheritor of the Fire Worship Sect chased Stephen James all the way here just to kill him.

"How did Stephen James offend him?"

Some loose cultivators looked at each other blankly, bewildered.

"Didn’t he say it himself? He doesn’t know Stephen James... He just doesn’t like him and wants to kill him for that reason!"

"Do you believe that?"

"I think it’s believable... After all, here in Sin City, the people of the Black Crow Alliance are notorious for ’taking advantage of others’ miseries.’ Perhaps this True Inheritor of the Fire Worship Sect can’t stand that and wants to rid the world of injustice by killing a member of the Black Crow Alliance like ’Stephen James’!"

"Why do I find this ’reason’ so far-fetched? There are plenty of Black Crow Alliance members, why is this True Inheritor of the Fire Worship Sect specifically targeting Stephen James? Besides, this Stephen James is not an ordinary member of the Black Crow Alliance!"

"I find it puzzling too... Stephen James is the younger brother of Edwin James, the Vice Alliance Leader of the Black Crow Alliance. And Edwin James is a ’Second Transformation Saint Immortal’ and ranks 566th on the Extreme Saint Ranking!"

"Indeed. With Edwin James’s strength, there are only a handful who can surpass him among the True Inheritors of the Fire Worship Sect... This True Inheritor might not be one of them!"

"Logically, because of Edwin James’s might, he shouldn’t dare to make a move against Stephen James."

...

The loose cultivators following and witnessing the scene were all puzzled by the unfolding situation.

Of course, some thought it wasn’t as simple as it appeared.

Stephen James must have offended this True Inheritor from the Fire Worship Sect in some way!

Otherwise, why would the other party want to kill him?

"Friend from the Fire Worship Sect, although I, Stephen James, am just an ordinary member of the Black Crow Alliance... my second brother is Edwin James, the Vice Alliance Leader of the Black Crow Alliance!"

As he sensed the increasingly terrifying murderous intent emanating from Wyatt Barnes, Stephen James realized that the other party might not be joking, and quickly mentioned his second brother Edwin James’s name again.

After speaking, fearing that Wyatt Barnes might not have heard of his brother Edwin James, he added, "My brother Edwin James is a standout among Second Transformation Saint Immortals, ranked 566th on the Extreme Saint Ranking!"

After saying this, Stephen James secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought:

Now that he’s revealed his brother Edwin James’s rank on the Extreme Saint Ranking, surely this disciple of the Fire Worship Sect would be intimidated and not dare to make a move against him.

"Ranked 566th on the Extreme Saint Ranking?"

Hearing Stephen James’s words, Wyatt Barnes squinted his eyes and asked calmly.

"Yes."

Stephen James nodded, his face full of pride, yet not as arrogant as usual.

After all, even though his brother was strong, he wasn’t by his side now.

"Seems like this Fire Worship Sect guy is scared after hearing about my brother’s ranking on the Extreme Saint Ranking... Otherwise, he wouldn’t ask to confirm."

Stephen James thought to himself.

And the group of loose cultivators who had come to watch now had similar thoughts as Stephen James.

"This True Inheritor of the Fire Worship Sect, after learning that Stephen James’s brother ranks 566th on the Extreme Saint Ranking as Edwin James... surely wouldn’t dare to make a move against Stephen James."

"That’s certain! Besides, Edwin James is known for being overprotective within the Black Crow Alliance. He shields regular Black Crow Alliance members fiercely... let alone his own brother, Stephen James!"

"Looks like there’s no good show to watch."

...

Many loose cultivators whispered among themselves, somewhat disappointed.

They believed that after learning about Stephen James’s ’background’, the disciple from the Fire Worship Sect would not make a move against him.

But would Wyatt Barnes feel intimidated because Stephen James revealed his ’background’ and hesitate to make a move against him?

The answer is, of course, no!

"If I remember correctly... my name seems to be on that Extreme Saint Ranking as well."

Wyatt Barnes’s voice sounded again, calm in tone, yet the murderous intent on him did not diminish at all, and even had a tendency to grow stronger.

And these words caught in Stephen James’s ears, made his face turn grave again.

"A True Inheritor of the Fire Worship Sect ranked on the Extreme Saint Ranking?!"

"Throughout the entire ’Fire Worship Sect’, counting the newly appearing prodigy Wyatt Barnes, there are only about eight such True Inheritors, aren’t there? Those eight are the ’Eight Great Talents’ of the Fire Worship Sect’s younger generation!"

"I wonder which one of the Eight Great Talents from the Fire Worship Sect he is!"

...

Upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, the eyes of the loose cultivators present brightened, realizing that the True Inheritor in front of them was one of the ’Eight Great Talents’ of the Fire Worship Sect.

For a moment, they were all very curious about which of the Eight Great Talents from the Fire Worship Sect he was!

"May I ask... which of the Eight Great Talents of the Fire Worship Sect do you belong to?"

At the same time, Stephen James, whose heart was in chaos and only calmed down a little after a deep breath, gathered his courage to ask.

"In my eyes, you’re already a dead man..."

Wyatt Barnes’ following words caused Stephen James’ face to change drastically, realizing that the true disciple of the Fire Worship Sect before him was determined to kill him!

"There’s no harm in telling you... I am the true disciple of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Bruce’!"

At the same time Stephen James’ face changed, Wyatt Barnes revealed this ’name,’ of course, it was the name of the current owner’s face, not his own name.

Bruce!

Wyatt’s words made Stephen James’ pupils contract sharply.

That name was not unfamiliar to him.

In fact, none of the loose cultivators present were unfamiliar with it.

In the Fire Worship Sect, among the eight prodigies, three with ’Saint Immortal Third Transformation’ stood at the top.

Among them, Bruce stands at ’second,’ ranking second on the True Inheritance List of the Fire Worship Sect.

Of course, the loose cultivators present had not heard of Wyatt Barnes recently defeating Bruce in the Fire Worship Sect; otherwise, they wouldn’t still think Bruce ranked ’second’ among the eight prodigies of the sect.

In their eyes:

Bruce is a contemporary prodigy of the Fire Worship Sect, ranked 421st on the Extreme Saint Ranking...

This was the extent of Stephen James and the loose cultivators’ understanding of Bruce.

For a moment, many of the loose cultivators looking at Stephen James had a teasing gleam in their eyes.

Using ’Edwin James’ ranked 566th on the Extreme Saint Ranking as a shield in front of ’Bruce’ ranked 421st now seemed all the more ironic.

Would Bruce fear Edwin James?

"I didn’t expect him to be Bruce!"

At the same time, many of the loose cultivators who came to their senses couldn’t help but sigh.

"Besides being ranked ’second’ among the eight prodigies of the Fire Worship Sect, Bruce is also the personal disciple of one of the Azure Dragon Hall’s masters! It’s said that the strength of the Azure Dragon Hall master is among the top even among the Gold Flame Elders of the Fire Worship Sect!"

Some loose cultivators were well-versed in Bruce’s ’background.’

"With Bruce’s strength and background... how could he fear Stephen James?"

Soon, a group of loose cultivators looked at Stephen James with a new hint of pity.

"In your next life, remember to be more low-key... Also, as you walk down the Netherworld Path, remember well, the one who kills you is ’Bruce’!"

While the crowd was still in a state of shock, Wyatt Barnes’ indifferent words resounded once again.

As the person involved, Stephen James’ face changed instantly.

"Run!!"

Without any hesitation, he panicked and turned to flee.

Now Stephen James had none of the arrogance from before; he was like a ’loser dog’ running away in disgrace!

Whish!

As if predicting his escape, the moment Stephen James tried to run, Wyatt Barnes closely kept up, maintaining the same distance between them as before, which never changed.

Of course, in the eyes of the loose cultivators behind:

This true disciple of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Bruce,’ was deliberately toying with Stephen James!!

It’s well-known.

True disciples of the Fire Worship Sect are almost all ’Saint Immortal Realm’ existences, with only a few exceptions due to extraordinary talent, having become true disciples in advance.

Not even mentioning Bruce, even for a generally skilled true disciple of the sect, catching up with Stephen James would only take a blink of an eye.

So, they were convinced that Bruce was toying with Stephen James.

They didn’t know:

The true disciple chasing Stephen James wasn’t Bruce but the recently risen monstrous prodigy of the Fire Worship Sect, ’Wyatt Barnes.’

And the reason Wyatt Barnes’ speed was so ’slow’ was because he hadn’t used the Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ nor the ’Golden Crow Wings.’

Otherwise, Stephen James would have been caught in an instant!

The reason for holding back those two abilities was that Wyatt Barnes did not want to expose his ’identity,’ otherwise he wouldn’t have disguised himself as ’Bruce.’

Currently, Wyatt Barnes’ Solar Holy Power is comparable to the ’Heavenly Saint Realm late stage Holy Power,’ on par with Stephen James’ cultivation in the ’Heavenly Saint Realm late stage,’ so he didn’t have the advantage in speed.

"Bruce, I have no grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?!"

Stephen James, realizing Wyatt Barnes was leisurely following him, thought the other was toying with him, which made him even more shocked and flustered as he frantically screamed while fleeing.

"I already said, it’s because I find you displeasing and want to get rid of you!"

Wyatt Barnes replied leisurely.

At the same time, as he noticed the loose cultivators behind them had not caught up in time and were still at a distance from himself and Stephen James, Wyatt quietly began to execute the Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’!
