Chapter 2514: Is He Really Your Man?
"Kid, I didn’t expect you to have an immortal treasure!"
The gaze of Grant Don, the esteemed elder of the Don Sect, lingered reluctantly on the immortal sword in his hand, then shifted to Wyatt Barnes, with greed flashing in his eyes.
"However, now I want your immortal treasure!"
Grant’s words clearly indicated his intention to claim Wyatt Barnes’ immortal sword as his own.
"A mere Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal dares to speak of seizing my immortal sword?"
Hearing Grant’s words, Wyatt Barnes sneered coldly.
Immediately, the power within him surged, quickly forming a swirling vortex.
In the blink of an eye, the spiritual energy in the area was devoured completely.
"Auxiliary divine ability?!"
"What a powerful auxiliary divine ability!"
...
Just as the three Eight Tribulations Loose Immortals of the Don Sect were startled by Wyatt Barnes’ auxiliary divine ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’,
With a single thought, Wyatt Barnes produced another sword in his hand, its power bursting forth with an aggressive, unmatched aura.
"Another immortal sword!"
"This Wyatt Barnes... actually has two immortal treasures? And they’re both immortal swords?"
"Who exactly is he?!"
...
Whether it was Lamont Don, the Sect Leader of the Don Sect, or Roberts Don, the esteemed elder of the Don Sect, both were now shocked by the appearance of the second immortal treasure in Wyatt Barnes’ hand.
It’s known that within the Don Sect, there are only three immortal treasures.
Even counting the immortal treasure Lainey Don acquired in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm, the Don Sect possesses only four immortal treasures...
Yet Wyatt Barnes, a mere half-step immortal, in the blink of an eye, took out two immortal treasures.
How could they not be astounded?
"Another immortal treasure!"
Joseph Don’s eyes glowed as he stared at the second immortal sword in Wyatt Barnes’ hand, his gaze burning with greedy flames, like a wildfire spreading uncontrollably!
On the other hand, Grant Don, who earlier declared his intent to seize Wyatt Barnes’ sword, saw Wyatt produce a second immortal treasure and the greedy flames in his eyes, instead of rising further, quickly extinguished.
"Who... exactly are you?!"
When Grant Don looked at Wyatt Barnes again, there was now a hint of apprehension in his eyes.
A half-step immortal possessing one immortal treasure could still be considered a fortunate happenstance acquired in the Outer Heaven Secret Realm...
However, it’s highly unlikely for a half-step immortal to obtain two immortal treasures in that Outer Heaven Secret Realm.
After all, the realm is filled with formidable beings, not lacking in Eight Tribulations Loose Immortal or Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal level existences.
Under the noses of these beings, obtaining one immortal treasure is already extremely fortunate for a mere half-step immortal...
To obtain two immortal treasures, the chances are exceedingly slim, nearly impossible!
Aside from the providence of the Outer Heaven Secret Realm, a half-step immortal owning two immortal treasures is likely due to an extraordinary background.
So now, as Grant Don speculated that Wyatt Barnes might have a remarkable background, a sense of apprehension welled up within him.
"The one who will kill you!!"
However, facing Grant Don’s apprehension and inquiry, Wyatt Barnes didn’t bother to respond, except for this sentence.
Almost as Wyatt Barnes’ words fell, the immortal sword in his hand began to revolve around his body, with increasing speed.
In the blink of an eye, it manifest myriad sword lights, finally converging above his head in the void.
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
...
A series of sword whistles rose, and the ’Sword Array’ above Wyatt Barnes’ head quickly took shape.
Once the Sword Array formed, the surrounding void trembled violently, and a mysterious force spread in all directions, enveloping everyone present.
Swish!
Grant Don’s face changed, for he discovered that the immortal sword he held had unexpectedly freed itself from his grasp in an instant, even injuring his hand.
Immediately after, he saw:
Once the immortal sword broke free from his hold, it was drawn toward the Sword Array above Wyatt Barnes’ head and became part of it.
Seeing this scene and recalling Wyatt Barnes’ earlier words, a vague sense of foreboding rose within Grant Don’s heart.
"Hmph!!"
Accompanied by a sudden cold snort from Wyatt Barnes, the Sword Array above his head seemed to ’come alive’ in an instant.
Immediately, it darted out like a puff of smoke, targeting Grant Don directly.
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
...
The Sword Array whizzed out, like a rain of swords tearing through the air, leaving menacing void cracks like enormous black serpents writhing their bodies incessantly.
Boom!!
Facing the overwhelmingly powerful Sword Array, although Grant Don felt that its contained power was formidable and probably beyond his ability to counter, he knew that he had no choice but to resist this fierce Sword Array.
With a thunderous roar, the power emanating from Grant Don surged forth like blazing flames.
"Spare him!"
At this moment, both the Sect Leader of the Don Sect, ’Lamont Don’, and another elder of the Don Sect, ’Roberts Don’, regained their senses immediately, their expressions changing dramatically as they hurriedly called out to stop Wyatt Barnes.
Boom!!
Boom!!
Of course, they didn’t just try to stop Wyatt Barnes with words. As they spoke, their power also surged from within.
However, when their power erupted and they intended to aid Grant Don,
Wyatt Barnes’ sword array, akin to a rain of swords, had already collided with the immortal treasure that Grant Don had brought forth, a seven-inch flying dagger.
At the crucial moment of life and death, Grant Don held nothing back, channeling all his strength into this flying dagger.
This strike from Grant Don was not weaker than a full-strength strike from an average Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal without using an immortal treasure!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
Sword whistles cut through the sky, as Wyatt Barnes’ sword array, before reaching that seven-inch flying dagger, suddenly turned it against them, causing the full-strength strike that Grant Don painstakingly executed to vanish instantly.
As a result, Wyatt Barnes’ offensive was not diminished in the slightest and engulfed him wholly before Grant Don could execute a second wave of attacks!
In his final moments, Grant Don’s eyes were wide open in disbelief.
Perhaps, until the moment of his death, he realized:
Using an immortal treasure in front of Wyatt Barnes was purely courting death!
"Ancestor!!"
Joseph Don let out a mournful cry, his face turning pale as a sheet in an instant.
Although, with his level of cultivation, he couldn’t clearly see what had just happened, he could distinctly notice:
At this moment, the presence of his ancestor had completely vanished!
Thus, there was only one possibility left.
His ancestor was dead!
Swish! Swish!
Lamont Don and Roberts Don’s faces changed in unison, never expecting Wyatt Barnes’ strength to be so overpowering, extinguishing Grant Don in an instant!
Also, giving them no time to render aid.
Of course, upon witnessing Wyatt Barnes’ strength, they both knew in their hearts:
Not only did they have no time to intervene, but even if they had intervened earlier, and even if they had joined forces with Grant Don, they would still be no match for Wyatt Barnes!
"The Immortal Method he used... completely countered the immortal treasure! He directly took the immortal treasure from us!"
"If the three of us all used our immortal treasures, it would be as if we hadn’t even moved... And if we didn’t use our immortal treasures, there’s no way we could withstand his attack! His sword array strikes were as powerful as a full-strength attack from an average Nine Tribulations Loose Immortal!"
...
Both Lamont Don and Roberts Don were acutely aware of this.
Because of this, when they looked at Wyatt Barnes again, their eyes were filled with nothing but dread and fear.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
...
After annihilating and killing Grant Don, the sword array continued unabated, rushing towards Joseph Don. In a flash, while Joseph Don had no time to react, he was eliminated!
Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes finally withdrew his hand.
After putting away his two immortal swords, he took hold of the flying dagger-like immortal treasure that was formerly Grant Don’s.
"Lainey!"
After greeting Lainey Don, Wyatt Barnes tossed the flying dagger to her, without the slightest hint of greed for the immortal treasure.
It should be known that even if he kept the flying dagger for himself, no one would dare speak a word.
"This..."
As she caught the flying dagger, Lainey Don hesitated a bit, knowing it was Wyatt Barnes’ ’spoils of war’. It would have been natural for Wyatt Barnes to claim it.
"Hand it over to your Don Sect Leader... In doing so, you’ve won back an immortal treasure for the Don Sect. And with Grant Don dead, he no longer has a reason to force you to marry that Junior House Master of the Heavenly Wave Residence. Even if he insists, he must heed your elder ancestor’s approval!"
Wyatt Barnes transmitted his thoughts to Lainey Don.
Hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words, Lainey Don realized his thoughtful intention. After giving Wyatt Barnes a grateful smile, she handed the flying dagger to the Don Sect Leader, ’Lamont Don’.
As Lamont Don received the flying dagger, his expression shifted darkly, and his mood was extremely complex.
"I never expected, truly unexpected... the young man you brought back, Lainey, possesses such terrifying strength!"
Meanwhile, Roberts Don also recovered, looking at both Lainey Don and Wyatt Barnes, letting out a long sigh.
Now, the previous dissatisfaction he held against Wyatt Barnes completely dissipated!
Understanding that Wyatt Barnes had every right to be so casual before him.
"Lainey... Is he truly your man?"
Finally, Roberts Don couldn’t help but ask.
"No."
At this time, Lainey Don also knew there was no longer any need to lie, as her crisis had, to a certain extent, already been resolved.
"What a pity, what a pity..."
However, hearing Lainey Don’s denial, Roberts Don’s face was one of utter disappointment.
