Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1092: Outsmarted

Chapter 1092: Chapter 1092: Outsmarted

Hidden Array, is a kind of "Inscription Array" that can conceal other Inscription Arrays, only "Inscription Engravers" with spiritual power above the Martial Emperor Realm are capable of inscribing and arranging it.

If Wyatt Barnes were not an Inscription Engraver, he absolutely would not have discovered the ’Illusionary Array’ fused with the Hidden Array earlier.

It was precisely because he was an Inscription Engraver, and moreover, an outstanding one.

Thus, when Kylen Gagnon and that sleazy middle-aged man entered the ’Illusionary Array’ and triggered the ’Hidden Array,’ his constantly extending spiritual power sensed something amiss.

For this reason, he was able to stop in time and avoid being trapped in the ’Illusionary Array.’

"You are also an ’Inscription Engraver’?"

Upon hearing Wyatt’s words, the old man’s pupils suddenly shrank, his face revealing shock.

In the past, he had specifically sought information about the purple-robed young man before him.

Therefore, he knew that the purple-robed young man had once killed a Gagnon Family elder with ’Transforming Void Realm Level Eight’ cultivation and knew that the young man’s strength was formidable.

Strong, and also a ’Grade One alchemist,’ such a monster made him also feel astonished.

And now, from the meaning in the purple-robed young man’s words.

Was he actually also an ’Inscription Engraver’?

And even one capable of discovering the ’Hidden Array’?

"What do you think?"

Wyatt responded with a question.

"Humph! Wyatt Barnes, no matter whether you are an ’Inscription Engraver’ or not, today you are fated not to escape death!"

At this time, Kartier Gagnon spoke up, his voice cold and intermixed with bone-chilling coldness.

As Kartier Gagnon spoke, between his eyes that looked towards Wyatt, there was an utmost display of hatred and intent to kill.

He couldn’t wait to cut Wyatt into thousands of pieces and shatter his body into fragments!

"Kartier Gagnon."

Wyatt looked at Kartier Gagnon, his eyes narrowing, "There’s one thing I’m very curious about... How did you know that I would come here? And even went so far as to prepare an ’Illusionary Array’ in advance."

"I don’t think my vision is poor... That guy, he definitely is not one of your people!"

Speaking to this point, Wyatt glanced again at the old man beside Kartier Gagnon.

The Illusionary Array was arranged by the old man.

That Illusionary Array was one fused with the Hidden Array, extremely troublesome to arrange, and at the very least, would require several hours to complete.

The ’that guy’ in Wyatt’s mouth was naturally the sleazy middle-aged man who had brought him here.

At first, Wyatt was certain.

That sleazy middle-aged man was not one of Kartier Gagnon’s people.

Otherwise, he would not have been completely without any warning signs.

For this reason, he felt it strange.

If that sleazy middle-aged man was not one of Kartier Gagnon’s people, how could Kartier Gagnon and the old man next to him arrive here before him?

Even, their arrival time here was earlier than theirs.

This could be seen from the ’Illusionary Array’ they had arranged.

"That idiot? Of course, he’s not one of our people."

Kartier Gagnon stared at Wyatt with murderous intent, sneering, "He’s just a pawn I made use of... Besides, you can’t truly think there are the ’herbs’ you wanted here?"

"Hm?"

Kartier Gagnon’s words made Wyatt frown, "What do you mean by that?"

A feeling that something was not right vaguely emerged in Wyatt’s heart.

"Elder Lester, you tell him... let him die an informed ghost! However, we need to hurry, lest that ’Kylen Gagnon’ breaks out of the array. At that time, it will be difficult for us to kill him."

Kartier Gagnon slowly spoke to the old man beside him.

His gaze toward Wyatt was like looking at someone dead, "Wyatt Barnes, for killing my brother... today is the day you die! I will make you die in regret and despair."

Muttering to himself, the murderous intent in Kartier Gagnon’s eyes grew even stronger.

"Yes, Young Master."

The old man dutifully responded while looking at Wyatt, saying coldly, "Wyatt Barnes, as an ’Inscription Engraver,’ don’t you still understand by now?"

"There’s none of what you want here!"

The old man enunciated each word, his voice falling like a hammer on Wyatt’s chest, rendering his complexion extremely unsightly.

"There is no ’Soul-setting Grass’?"

Wyatt took a deep breath, previously unaware that he was in a snare, but at this moment, his thoughts became clear, and ideas rapidly turned in his mind.

In a moment, he seemed to recall something, and his pupils contracted.

"You all... had calculated this from the beginning?"

Wyatt looked towards Kartier Gagnon and the old man, asking in a deep voice, obviously he had guessed something.

"It seems you are not completely foolish."

Kartier Gagnon sneered.

"That guy, in fact, never saw the ’Soul-setting Grass,’ nor did he encounter any peak Void Realm Demon Beast protecting the ’Soul-setting Grass’... All he saw, was it all just a false image within the ’Illusionary Array’ you arranged, right?"

Wyatt’s eyes locked onto the old man, asking in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The old man said emotionlessly, "If he had encountered a real ’peak Void Realm Demon Beast’... do you think that trash could have escaped?"

The ’trash’ in the old man’s mouth, was indeed the sleazy middle-aged man who brought Wyatt here.

"Indeed."

Wyatt’s expression darkened, and he couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

He had previously thought his luck to be so good, first obtaining the ’Soul-stabilizing Root’ Winnie needed, followed by receiving information about the ’Soul-setting Grass.’

In truth, there was no ’Soul-setting Grass’ to begin with!

The ’Soul-setting Grass’ the sleazy middle-aged man saw was nothing more than a false illusion appearing inside the ’Illusionary Array’ arranged by the old man beside Kartier Gagnon, including the so-called peak Void Realm Demon Beast which was also fake.

All of this was just Kartier Gagnon’s "conspiracy" against him.

As for Kartier’s purpose, he could naturally guess – it was nothing more than to avenge Damari Gagnon.

Damari was Kartier’s younger brother.

Although, the last time he saw Kartier, Kartier did not exhibit any obvious hatred, his spiritual power had still detected the deeply concealed hatred Kartier harbored.

Hatred, the deeper it is hidden, the more terrifying it is when it erupts.

The events of today undoubtedly prove this point.

"Originally, everything was proceeding according to plan... However, what we didn’t expect was that you actually didn’t enter the ’Phantom Array’."

The old man continued speaking.

Originally, in the plan he and his Young Master had conceived, Wyatt Barnes was also supposed to enter the Phantom Array before they killed him.

However, they had never anticipated that Wyatt would discover the ’Phantom Array’.

"Whether he enters the ’Phantom Array’ or not is irrelevant now... That Phantom Array was never meant for him in the first place. Now that Kylen Gagnon has entered the Phantom Array we prepared for him, he won’t be able to get out for quite some time."

At this point, Kartier spoke up, his voice containing an even deeper chill.

The eyes brimming with hatred glinted with a cold light, never leaving Wyatt’s side.

Kylen Gagnon, Protector Elder of the Gagnon Family, a Martial Emperor powerhouse.

The old man beside him was also a Martial Emperor powerhouse, but should he face Kylen, he wasn’t too confident in his odds.

And now, with Kylen trapped in the ’Phantom Array’, he was unable to protect Wyatt Barnes any longer.

In his view,

Wyatt Barnes was fish on the chopping board, at his mercy to butcher.

"Wyatt Barnes... do you now regret killing my brother ’Damari’?"

Kartier looked at Wyatt and asked coldly.

Then, without waiting for Wyatt to respond, he continued, "No matter how much you regret it, it’s irrelevant! Today, I will let you die in agony... to comfort my brother’s spirit in heaven!"

As Kartier spoke his voice grew increasingly colder.

"Regret?"

Faced with Kartier, who was blinded by hatred, Wyatt was completely calm and spoke lightly, "I’m really sorry... I might regret other things. But killing your brother ’Damari’, I have never once felt regret, not even now."

Wyatt’s words were undoubtedly a resounding slap to Kartier’s face.

"You’re seeking death!"

Kartier’s pupils shrank, glaring at Wyatt, his tone filled with murderous intent.

"Oh? You want to make a move against me?"

Faced with a cold and menacing Kartier, Wyatt laughed, with a great interest in his gaze.

Upon hearing this, Kartier’s face darkened and he said coldly, "Of course I will make a move against you... but not now!"

"Hmm?"

Wyatt was taken aback, not understanding what Kartier meant.

It didn’t take long for him to realize why Kartier had said those words.

"Elder Lester, cripple his dantian, but do not kill him! I want to torture him slowly, let him die in despair."

Kartier looked at the old man beside him and said gritting his teeth.

"Yes, Young Master."

The old man responded, looking at Wyatt with a predatory gaze, as the Origin Force swirling around his body surged forth, massive and powerful, causing a terrifying gust of wind that howled through the air.

For a moment, the flora in the canyon bowed their heads under the force.

Whooosh!

At the same time, above the old man in the void, the power of heaven and earth stirred, converging into a spectacular vision.

Two thousand ancient Horned Dragon phantoms spiraled down.

On the strength of Origin Force alone, comparable to the power of two thousand ancient Horned Dragons.

This was precisely the mark of ’First level of the Martial Emperor Realm’.

However, there was more to come.

Boom!

The milky white flames that exploded from the old man’s body momentarily changed color, becoming a fiery red that surged skyward, turning the canyon’s mist red.

Whooosh!

Above the void, another two thousand ancient Horned Dragon phantoms appeared.

First level of the Emperor Realm’s Fire Mystique!

At the same time, within the surging flames around the old man’s body, streaks of purple lightning akin to vipers appeared along with whips of green gang wind.

Another two thousand ancient Horned Dragon phantoms materialized.

Ninth level high-grade Lightning Realm!

Ninth level high-grade Wind Realm!

"Wyatt Barnes, you never would have imagined, right? Elder Lester is a powerful ’Martial Emperor powerhouse’... killing you would be effortless!"

Kartier laughed wildly, pride evident in his voice.

At the same time, he looked toward Wyatt.

In his eyes, Wyatt must be a picture of shock and despair right now.

However, when he saw that Wyatt’s expression remained calm, the wild laughter stopped abruptly, and a mix of shame and anger flickered through his eyes, his face turning alternately green and white.

"Elder Lester, do it!"

Frustrated and humiliated, Kartier bellowed out.

Boom!

Following Kartier’s shout, a thunderous explosion sounded in the air, releasing waves of blistering heat that spread in all directions.

At the same time, Wyatt felt a scorching breath coming towards him, almost suffocating him.
