Chapter 1639: Chapter 1639: Twists and Turns

In a moment, the Demon Sealing Monument arrived in front of King Archer, and the black glow that originally flickered around it gradually disappeared.

Immediately, the unadorned Demon Sealing Monument slowly descended, landing right into the slightly excited outstretched hand of King Archer.

Holding the Demon Sealing Monument made King Archer tremble with excitement.

At that instant, everyone present, except Wyatt Barnes, had their eyes fixed on King Archer.

To be precise, their gazes were focused on the Demon Sealing Monument in King Archer’s hand.

The Demon Sealing Monument, once it appeared, was destined to become the focal point of everyone’s attention.

Whoosh!!

As Kash Lynch and everyone else had their eyes on the Demon Sealing Monument in King Archer’s hand, the fleeting sound of a sword resonated clearly in the ears of all the Saint Realm experts present.

Only those in the Saint Realm could hear this fleeting sword sound.

Among them, naturally, was Kash Lynch.

"Not good!"

The moment Kash Lynch heard the sword sound, before he could react, he felt himself locked onto by an extremely terrifying aura, filled with endless killing intent that instantly turned his complexion pale with fear.

This would indeed be the last expression of Kash Lynch’s life.

When the group of Saint Realm experts turned around, they only saw a sword light disappearing into the horizon.

At the same time, Kash Lynch was split in two and killed on the spot.

On the other hand, Wyatt Barnes, his opponent, remained in a sword-striking stance.

However, he had already put away the ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ in his hand and replaced it with a sword completely formed from True Energy, a three-foot green blade continuously emitting sword light and exuding a sharp aura.

"This..."

Seeing Kash Lynch dead like that, the group of Saint Realm experts who reacted first were startled; they didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

Kash Lynch, who had already broken through to the Saint Realm, was actually killed by Wyatt Barnes with a single sword strike!

"Was it because Kash Lynch’s attention was on the Demon Sealing Monument, giving Wyatt Barnes an opportunity?"

For a moment, many Saint Realm experts speculated internally.

However, they quickly dismissed this speculation.

A Martial Artist who hasn’t entered the Saint Realm, even in a sneak attack, would find it difficult to harm a Saint Realm expert, even if the expert had just broken through.

The gap between non-Saint Realm and Saint Realm is like a chasm; they are simply not on the same level.

Therefore, even in a sneak attack, Wyatt Barnes was unlikely to kill Kash Lynch.

Yet, the fact lay before their eyes, making it impossible not to believe.

However, while the group of Saint Realm experts focused their attention here, everyone else still had their eyes on the Demon Sealing Monument in King Archer’s hand, as its allure was so great that they failed to notice Kash Lynch’s death.

Of course, this was also because they hadn’t heard that fleeting piercing sword sound.

After the initial shock, the group of Saint Realm experts glanced at Wyatt Barnes in astonishment but soon recalled the ’Demon Sealing Monument’ and promptly shifted their gaze back to King Archer.

Kash Lynch’s death, the Demon Sealing Monument.

Between the two, the latter clearly held greater attraction for them.

"Fourth Prince, Kash Lynch is dead."

At this moment, two elders who had returned behind King Archer couldn’t help but remind him.

"What?!"

Hearing the elders’ words, King Archer was taken aback, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, making him snap back to reality and look at the void where Kash Lynch had been.

In the void, only a faint blood mist remained, and Kash Lynch was nowhere to be found.

"How could this happen? Who killed him?"

King Archer was dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded.

Of course, he never considered that Wyatt Barnes could have killed Kash Lynch because, in his eyes, Wyatt Barnes was merely a Martial Artist entering the Saint Realm and couldn’t possibly threaten Kash Lynch’s life.

By now, others had also noticed something amiss.

"Where is Kash Lynch?"

"Why has Kash Lynch disappeared?"

...

Many showed puzzled expressions, looking around but failing to find any trace of Kash Lynch.

If they had descended to the ground, they would surely have seen Kash Lynch’s body, shattered into two parts.

Though the Saint Realm experts knew what had just transpired, their attention was on the Demon Sealing Monument in King Archer’s hand, so none had pointed it out to the others, leaving them in the dark.

However, Kash Lynch’s disappearance was of little concern to them.

The Demon Sealing Monument remained the primary focus of their attention.

"Junior Brother, about Kash Lynch..."

Trevor Baillie seemed to have a vague suspicion but still couldn’t help but ask via transmission.

"Don’t worry, Senior Brother, Kash Lynch is already dead and poses no threat to me."

Wyatt Barnes transmitted in reply.

"Did you use that sword?"

Trevor Baillie asked, besides that sword, he couldn’t think of any other method his junior brother could use to kill Kash Lynch, who had already broken through to the Saint Realm.

"Yes."

Wyatt Barnes nodded; he had just used the Splendid Fairy Sword to slay Kash Lynch, who had entered the Saint Realm.

"Was it exposed?"

Trevor Baillie asked again.

"No."

Wyatt Barnes shook his head, then explained, "At the moment I struck, their attention was all on the Demon Sealing Monument in King Archer’s hand, and they didn’t notice me on this side... By the time they came to their senses, I had already put it away beforehand."

Upon hearing this, Trevor Baillie breathed a sigh of relief, then asked again, "Junior brother, you aren’t really going to give the Demon Sealing Monument to King Archer, are you?"

"How is that possible! Just watch the show, senior brother."

Wyatt Barnes responded via voice transmission, a hint of amusement in his tone.

Trevor Baillie, upon hearing this, his spirits lifted, immediately looked towards the Demon Sealing Monument in King Archer’s hand.

As the attention of those present returned to the Demon Sealing Monument in King Archer’s hand, King Archer also realized the crisis. He acted immediately and placed the monument into his Storage Ring.

In a moment, the Demon Sealing Monument vanished from his hand.

He naturally assumed he had stored the monument in his ring and promptly called out to the two elderlies behind him, "Let’s go, return to King Archer’s manor!"

After speaking, King Archer turned to leave.

At that moment, he seemed to forget Kash Lynch’s death.

But, was it possible for him to just leave?

"Fourth brother, as they say, ’the viewer has a share’, you aren’t planning to hog the Demon Sealing Monument, are you?"

King Honorston’s calm voice came forth, followed by him blocking King Archer’s path with the two remaining Saint Realm experts beside him, indicating he wouldn’t let King Archer leave unless he shared in the spoils.

He had just lost a Saint Realm demon cultivator and was quite disheartened.

If King Archer took away the Demon Sealing Monument now, it would mean he had lost a Saint Realm expert for nothing.

He was naturally unwilling!

Of course, even if he hadn’t lost anyone under his command, facing such a powerful relic like the Demon Sealing Monument, he wouldn’t easily let it go.

Seeing King Honorston blocking his way, King Archer’s face immediately turned sour, he no longer called out ’Second Brother’, "King Honorston, the Demon Sealing Monument was given to me by Wyatt Barnes, what does it have to do with you?"

"Hmph!"

King Honorston snorted coldly, ignoring King Archer’s words.

No matter what, today, he had to have his share of the Demon Sealing Monument; even if he couldn’t possess it, he wouldn’t let King Archer possess it either.

The influence the Demon Sealing Monument could have, he understood very well.

If King Archer obtained the monument, for him it would be akin to giving wings to a tiger.

As King Archer’s competitor, he naturally didn’t wish for King Archer to be strengthened, and thus would not allow him to take away the Demon Sealing Monument.

Apart from those from King Honorston’s manor, other major factions’ Saint Realm experts, although coveting the Demon Sealing Monument, faced with formidable forces like King Archer’s manor and King Honorston’s manor, they felt helpless and could only watch the spectacle.

Meanwhile, some Saint Realm experts, while enjoying the show, discussed the fact that Kash Lynch had been killed by Wyatt Barnes.

Immediately, uproar ensued.

Wyatt Barnes, a single strike, ambushed and instantly killed Kash Lynch?

Although ’ambush’ was not a very honorable tactic, a non-Saint Realm martial artist managing to kill a Saint Realm expert through ambush, even if that expert had just entered the Saint Realm, was shocking enough.

For a moment, Wyatt Barnes became the focal point of attention.

"Did this Wyatt Barnes truly kill Kash Lynch?"

"It truly is a twist... When Wyatt Barnes demonstrated speed surpassing Kash Lynch, I thought Kash Lynch would die. After Kash Lynch broke through to the Saint Realm, I thought Wyatt Barnes would die. Yet unexpectedly, it was Kash Lynch who met his end."

"Earlier, Kash Lynch certainly, like us, focused on the Demon Sealing Monument, hence did not guard against Wyatt Barnes. Otherwise, Wyatt Barnes’ ambush couldn’t have succeeded!"

"Hmph! While ambushing might not sound too noble, a martial artist entering the Saint Realm, being able to kill a Saint Realm expert through ambush, is rare in the Martial Dao Holy Land. At least, I’ve never heard of anyone capable of this."

"Indeed! Even if Wyatt Barnes ambushed, it’s still something to be proud of. After all, he ambushed and killed a Saint Realm expert with an entering-Saint-Realm level."

...

In the beginning, ’ambush’ was something people held in contempt.

But when this matter occurs between non-Saint Realm and Saint Realm, with the latter being killed by the former, nobody feels the former was excessive.

Moreover, Wyatt Barnes and Kash Lynch were originally engaged in a life-or-death duel.

For Kash Lynch to lose focus and get killed, he had himself to blame; he couldn’t whine about others.

"Did Mr. Barnes actually kill Kash Lynch?"

Among the Swayer family’s group, except for Micah Swayer and Jordan Swayer who already knew Wyatt Barnes had killed Kash Lynch, Beau Swayer, just learning about it, was completely stunned, not expecting such a dramatic turn of events.

Before this, he had lost all hope in Wyatt Barnes.

"Haha...Wyatt Barnes truly is impressive! Even after Kash Lynch broke through to the Saint Realm, he was still killed by Wyatt Barnes!"

Handmi Holland laughed heartily, showing off, as if he were the one who killed Kash Lynch instead of Wyatt Barnes.

"How... How could this happen?"

In King Archer’s manor’s group, Moody Nicholson kept shaking his head, unwilling to accept Wyatt Barnes killing Kash Lynch.
