Legend of Wyatt

Chapter 2121: Trap?

Wyatt Barnes was somewhat caught off guard when he unknowingly became the ’Guardian Deity’ for those engaged in death battles within Sin City.

But he also knew it wasn’t something he could control.

Although a life-and-death struggle was unfolding before him, Wyatt Barnes remained calm, his heart undisturbed by even the slightest ripple.

Prior to this, he had witnessed many life-and-death struggles in Sin City, but no one seized the opportunity for personal gain.

Thus, he faced the same situation now without any surprise.

However, after this death battle concludes, will the outcome be the same as before, with no one seizing the opportunity?

Buzz!!

In the life-and-death struggle, the two quickly decided the winner. One person’s Sacred Sword gleamed dramatically, killing his opponent in one swift move.

Of course, after killing his opponent, he was also injured.

Previously, in such situations, he would leave the scene as quickly as possible, fearing that someone might take advantage of his injury and strike him down, killing him to seize everything he had!

Now, however, he stayed boldly in place, took some Pill Medicine, and sat cross-legged in mid-air to heal his injuries.

As if the surrounding people didn’t exist.

"Recently, because of the appearance of that black-robed figure, Sin City’s ’order’ has improved significantly... In the past, would he have dared to heal so boldly while injured?"

Such ’behavior’ from the winner of the death battle caused many of the surrounding Loose Cultivators to shake their heads.

The current scene was unimaginable to them before.

"Although I covet the ’Storage Ring’ in his hand and the ’Storage Ring’ of the person he killed, and I am confident I could kill him while he’s injured... But thinking of that black-robed figure, I really don’t dare make a move!"

One Loose Cultivator said with a wry smile.

Previously, he was like the members of the Black Crow Alliance, opportunistically seeking advantage, but after the black-robed figure appeared, he was glad he hadn’t acted recently; otherwise, he could have become a victim to the black-robed figure.

Feeling fortunate, he also became more honest, even if he saw many people severely injured in death battles, he dared not seize the opportunity.

Who knows if the black-robed figure is hiding nearby?

He dares not take any chances!

Nor to gamble!

Because if he loses the bet, he’ll lose his life!

"Many people claim the black-robed figure is a dark opportunist... But in my opinion, that’s slander! Absolute slander! Recently, in Sin City, many have engaged in death battles, and those who kill their opponents then become critically injured are not rare, yet the black-robed figure has never taken advantage for himself, proving he’s not a ’villain’!"

One Loose Cultivator spoke up for Wyatt Barnes.

"I think so too."

Many Loose Cultivators around nodded in agreement.

Boom!!

However, just as the group of Loose Cultivators were preparing to leave, a thunderous explosion was heard.

A vast and unmatched force, seemingly appearing out of thin air, struck the person sitting cross-legged in the void during his healing, killing him.

In an instant, that person was blasted into powder, leaving only a ’Storage Ring’.

"Dead?"

This scene left the group of spectators shocked and horrified.

"A Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse!"

Many Loose Cultivators realized that the person who struck must be a ’Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse’, otherwise they couldn’t have acted without detection, killing the injured Loose Cultivator.

"Hmm?"

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes, who was about to leave, was also startled and immediately turned around, coldly gazing into the distant sky.

Above, through the clouds, a figure stepped into the air and descended.

"A member of the Black Crow Alliance?"

Seeing the person’s attire, Wyatt Barnes raised his eyebrows, recognizing the clothing as exclusive to Black Crow Alliance members.

Lately, he had killed many Black Crow Alliance members, so he was not unfamiliar with the exclusive apparel of the newcomer.

"A Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse? Interesting..."

In the past, the strongest Black Crow Alliance member Wyatt Barnes killed was a peak Heavenly Saint Realm, none were ’Saint Immortal Realm’ beings.

Thus, the grade of ’Innate Spirit Roots’ he absorbed wasn’t very high.

Now, with the appearance of a Black Crow Alliance member who is a Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse, his heart naturally excited.

Achieving ’Saint Immortal Realm’ indicated the Black Crow Alliance member’s Martial Dao talent was exceptional, with ’Innate Spirit Roots’ grading not lower than those of the previously killed Black Crow Alliance members.

"It’s a member of the Black Crow Alliance! Isn’t he afraid of being killed by the black-robed figure?"

When Wyatt Barnes identified the Black Crow Alliance member, many other Loose Cultivators also halted, recognizing the newcomer’s ’identity’ through their attire.

"Didn’t you see the power of his strike just now? This person is a ’Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse’! He may not fear the black-robed figure."

"Indeed. The black-robed figure may be strong, but so far, those he’s killed were no greater than ’peak Heavenly Saint Realm’ entities... A Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse, he may not have the ability to kill!"

"After robbing and killing, this Black Crow Alliance member is not in a hurry to leave... It’s clear he’s not afraid of the black-robed figure!"

"Who knows if the black-robed figure will appear."

...

Under the watchful eyes of the group of Loose Cultivators, the Black Crow Alliance member who stepped into the air from the clouds retrieved the ’Storage Ring’ from the person he killed.

After collecting the storage ring, he didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he stood where he was, glancing left and right, as if observing something.

"What’s he looking at?"

"Could it be he’s waiting for the Black Robe Man to show up?"

"Is the Black Crow Alliance finally making a move? It seems... the purpose of this ’Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse’ from the Black Crow Alliance is to take on the Black Robe Man, avenging those members of the Black Crow Alliance who fell by his hand!"

"It’s possible."

...

Noticing the Black Crow Alliance member before them, whose cultivation was evidently at the ’Saint Immortal Realm’ level, not leaving for a long time, many loose cultivators were able to guess his ’purpose’ with certainty.

If it weren’t to deal with the Black Robe Man, why would this Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse from the Black Crow Alliance bother to pick up scraps?

The two people who were fighting to the death earlier were both merely ’Heavenly Saint Realm peak’ existences. Even if they combined their forces at their peak, they might have been no match for him!

With his power, there was no real need to wait for an opportunity to pick up scraps.

Thus, a group of loose cultivators present realized his real purpose here was indeed to confront the ’Black Robe Man’.

"I wonder if that Black Robe Man will come upon hearing the news..."

Many loose cultivators were quite curious about this.

"He probably won’t come, right? This Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse from the Black Crow Alliance clearly came prepared... Not to mention his own formidable strength, there might be quite a few Black Crow Alliance powerhouses hiding nearby in secret!"

Some loose cultivators also said.

"If I were the Black Robe Man, I definitely wouldn’t come... It’s clearly a ’trap’!"

"I think so too."

...

Many loose cultivators held a favorable opinion of Wyatt Barnes playing the role of ’Black Robe Man’, hoping from the bottom of their hearts that Wyatt wouldn’t come.

"Trap?"

Hiding in the shadows, Wyatt called to Elder Fire at the right moment, asking Elder Fire to observe the surroundings, to see if anyone was hiding, and if so, what level of cultivation those hidden individuals were.

Better safe than sorry!

Wyatt understood this truth.

Meanwhile, several loose cultivators who believed Wyatt wouldn’t come began to disperse, and the news also spread out.

After the news spread, more loose cultivators came over to watch the spectacle.

As more people gathered, someone recognized the Black Crow Alliance member, and said in astonishment, "Isn’t this the Black Crow Alliance Vice Alliance Leader, ’Edwin James’?"

"Edwin James?"

Instantly, the scene erupted.

When the group of loose cultivators looked at the Black Crow Alliance member again, their gaze changed dramatically.

Prior to this, they merely thought the Black Crow Alliance member before them was an ordinary ’Saint Immortal Realm powerhouse’ within the Black Crow Alliance.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the Black Crow Alliance Vice Alliance Leader, ’Edwin James’!

Aside from being the Vice Alliance Leader of the Black Crow Alliance, Edwin James’s own strength was formidable, as one of the standout ’Saint Immortal Second Transformation powerhouses’, ranked five hundred sixty-sixth on the Extreme Saint Ranking!

"It’s actually the Black Crow Alliance Vice Alliance Leader, ’Edwin James’! He personally came!"

"He’s clearly here for the Black Robe Man... But since he’s personally involved, the Black Robe Man surely wouldn’t dare to show up."

"Seems like there’s not much exciting to watch today."

...

Upon learning that the Black Crow Alliance member who had been here for a while was actually the Vice Alliance Leader, ’Edwin James’, the group of loose cultivators grew increasingly confident that Wyatt wouldn’t come.

"Black Crow Alliance Vice Alliance Leader? Edwin James?"

Just then, a calm voice suddenly rang out.

The voice wasn’t loud, yet it seemed infused with magical power, instantly overpowering the loose cultivators’ chatter.

Soon after, under everybody’s watchful eyes, a figure appeared draped in a black robe.

Because the black robe was a spacious hooded cloak, no one could discern what kind of person was hidden underneath.

However, judging by the voice, it was certain:

This person wearing the black robe was a ’man’!

"Black Robe Man!"

Upon seeing this person in the black robe appear, the scene was instantly in an uproar, with each loose cultivator showing a mix of shock and disbelief.

"He actually came! Isn’t he afraid Edwin James will kill him?"

"Doesn’t he know Edwin James is one of the standout ’Saint Immortal Second Transformation powerhouses’ and ranked five hundred sixty-sixth on the Extreme Saint Ranking?"

"Isn’t he just walking into a death trap?"

...

A group of loose cultivators looked at Wyatt Barnes cloaked in the black robe, shook their heads, and their gazes were filled with pity.

Many loose cultivators even transmitted sound advice urging Wyatt to leave.

"So, it’s you... the one who’s been slaughtering our Black Crow Alliance people in Sin City?"

Edwin James’s eyes locked onto Wyatt Barnes with a cold intensity, asking in a deep voice.
