Legend of Wyatt
Chapter 1679: First Battle

Chapter 1679: Chapter 1679: First Battle

To be honest, Monk Flower still couldn’t see through the man named Eden Lee in front of him.

From the very beginning, his intuition told him that Eden Lee was not simple.

But later, he thought he might be overthinking it, as although there were many loose cultivators in the Sky-scraping Mansion’s region, even if their talents matched his, or even surpassed him, without the nurturing resources of a significant power, how much could they really achieve?

Take GullyAshton Chapman for example. In terms of talent, not to mention the Junior House Master of Sky-scraping Mansion, Peace Adams, even he and Silent Void from the Pure Sun Temple might not match him.

Yet, because GullyAshton Chapman lacked the resource support of a significant power, he not only lagged behind him and Silent Void, but was also slightly inferior to Peace Adams.

However, with the strength GullyAshton Chapman had now displayed, he wasn’t sure if GullyAshton Chapman was still inferior to Peace Adams.

Judging by GullyAshton Chapman’s current strength, it didn’t seem like he had just broken through to the ’Middle Saint Realm’ mid-stage. In terms of strength, even his senior brother ’Drunken Meat Monk’, as well as ’Jade Void’ from the Pure Sun Temple, might not match him.

Yet, even so, GullyAshton Chapman still was not as good as him and Silent Void.

He was sure of that.

And the cold and stern young man named ’Eden Lee’ before him seemed, through his vague Divine Sense perception, to be not even forty years old.

An under-forty loose cultivator, even with some fortuitous encounters and talent, without the cultivation resources of a major power, how far could he go?

"Did he challenge another disciple of the Sky-scraping Mansion? Could it be he’s trying to stand up for those loose cultivators like GullyAshton Chapman did?"

When he noticed Wyatt Barnes’s gaze fall on another early Middle Saint Realm disciple of the Sky-scraping Mansion, Monk Flower’s heart stirred, and he thought to himself.

"This is an early Middle Saint Realm martial artist, even if he just broke through not long ago, could he really be handled by a young man not even forty?"

Subconsciously, Monk Flower did not believe Wyatt Barnes’s strength was stronger than the opponent he chose.

Yet when he saw the cold and stern face of Wyatt Barnes exhibiting a calm demeanor, doubt arose in his heart. Was this young man, under forty, genuinely confident, or just putting on a show?

What Monk Flower didn’t know was that, in terms of actual age, Wyatt Barnes was already over forty.

However, due to the mystical nature of the Jewel Tower, the time Wyatt Barnes spent inside was almost stationary compared to the outside.

Therefore, now, to the Divine Sense probing of others, he appeared to be under forty.

If Monk Flower could notice this, others naturally could too.

After all, among those present, there were more than one or two stronger than Monk Flower.

"This young man, under forty?"

The Vice House Master of Tengyue Mansion, Donovan Tasker, reacted immediately, pupils constricting with astonishment on his face.

"Is he a loose cultivator too?"

The Second Elder of Surge Hayden Mansion, Castiel Mullins, was also shocked. His widespread Divine Sense also discovered that the young man present now was under forty.

Under forty, appearing at this time?

Even among the younger disciples of Surge Hayden Mansion, it seemed there was nobody under forty who was a Middle Saint Realm martial artist or Taoist Cultivator. Yet this young man was appearing at this time to challenge that early Middle Saint Realm martial artist of the Sky-scraping Mansion.

He found it somewhat unbelievable.

In the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, aside from a few quasi-third-rate powers, he hadn’t really heard of any force that could produce a Middle Saint Realm martial artist or Taoist Cultivator under forty.

And even those three quasi-third-rate powers were not all capable of producing such martial artists or Taoist Cultivators.

"Heavens! He truly is under forty."

At the same time, a crowd of people knew this too.

The atmosphere on site was temporarily boiling due to Wyatt Barnes’s appearance.

Eyes falling on him were filled with surprise, astonishment, and intrigue, but more with skepticism, questioning whether this young man under forty was genuinely capable or if he was merely putting on a show.

Or perhaps, he was just a fool!

Regardless, the Wyatt Barnes who appeared now had completely overshadowed GullyAshton Chapman’s presence.

"Hmph! A young boy not even forty, daring to challenge that early Middle Saint Realm disciple of the Sky-scraping Mansion... isn’t this seeking death?"

Among a group from the Pure Sun Temple, an old Taoist interjected disdainfully.

This was an elder from the Pure Sun Temple, and his words found agreement among many.

"I think he’s trying to imitate GullyAshton Chapman and stand up for the loose cultivators... but doesn’t he know, the cost of gaining notoriety might be sacrificing his own life?"

People from various forces were buzzing with discussion, all thinking Wyatt Barnes was overestimating himself.

Meanwhile, the loose cultivators present only felt their faces burning.

A young man not yet forty had stood up for their deceased loose cultivator brothers, while they merely watched the commotion from the sidelines. This made them feel utterly embarrassed.

However, to actually step up themselves, they lacked the courage.

"Young man, come back. There’s no need to throw away your life."

Soon, a kind-hearted Loose Cultivator transmitted a message to Wyatt Barnes, saying he did not want to see Wyatt risk his life and everything for this.

"Brother, your good intentions are already known by the fellow Loose Cultivators... Come back! Disciples of the Sky-scraping Mansion will not hold back against you."

Soon, more Loose Cultivators transmitted messages to Wyatt Barnes.

They were well aware that because of Gully Ashton Chapman’s recent actions, the Sky-scraping Mansion must be furious.

If someone challenges the disciples of the Sky-scraping Mansion at this time, the opponent will definitely not hold back.

They may not be able to openly seek revenge against Gully Ashton Chapman right now, but they can vent their anger by killing other Loose Cultivators.

Just as they had thought, the disciple of the Sky-scraping Mansion chosen by Wyatt Barnes looked at Wyatt with cold and fierce eyes, filled with disdain, "A Loose Cultivator under forty dares to challenge me?"

To him, the Loose Cultivator before him was simply a hot-headed fool!

However, since Wyatt had come knocking, he naturally would not hold back.

Earlier, Gully Ashton Chapman had stood up for the Loose Cultivators and killed someone from their Sky-scraping Mansion. That person had some relation to him, considered a distant cousin, and because their talents and strengths were similar, they usually stayed close.

"Kid, are you sure you want to challenge me?"

The disciple of the Sky-scraping Mansion looked at Wyatt Barnes with a provocative gaze.

Feeling warmth at the reminders of several Loose Cultivators, Wyatt Barnes felt standing up for Loose Cultivators at this time was clearly the right choice, even though it was initially influenced by Gully Ashton Chapman.

Facing the disciple’s provocation of the Sky-scraping Mansion, Wyatt Barnes simply looked at him calmly, but the determination in his eyes was undoubtedly the best answer.

In the center of another huge chess piece, Gully Ashton Chapman hovered in midair, and his gaze was also focused on Wyatt Barnes.

He had previously paid attention to Wyatt Barnes, because Wyatt was the only person present besides him who came to Jewel Valley alone, and like him, seemed to be a Loose Cultivator.

Saying nothing else, just this alone made Wyatt Barnes give him a sense of kinship.

Now that Wyatt Barnes stood up, it further stirred a feeling of sympathy in him; if possible, he would not oppose making friends with this cold and stern youth who was also a Loose Cultivator.

"If you’re uncertain, concede."

But realizing Wyatt Barnes was under forty, Gully Ashton Chapman still transmitted a reminder to him.

Hearing Gully Ashton Chapman’s reminder, Wyatt Barnes glanced at him with a faint smile as a response.

And the light smile that appeared on his cold and stern face revealed immense confidence in the eyes of Gully Ashton Chapman, making him feel he could somewhat understand this cold and stern-faced youth.

"Kane Adams, kill him!"

From among the people of Sky-scraping Mansion, the Grand Elder ’Serene Adams’, with a flash of sharpness in his eyes, said to the opponent chosen by Wyatt Barnes.

Of course, he transmitted it quietly to the other party.

Kane Adams was also Wyatt Barn’s opponent, a disciple of the Sky-scraping Mansion with initial Middle Saint Realm cultivation. Hearing Serene Adams’ words, his eyes showed increased murderous intent, difficult to suppress.

On his body, True Origin fluctuated, exuding waves of intimidating aura.

That was killing intent!

Instantly, the Loose Cultivators present all felt a rush of sweat for Wyatt Barnes.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Suddenly, Kane Adams shouted coldly, with True Origin on his body resembling a hurricane whistling and sweeping out, in an instant, the area within a hundred meters centered around him turned into an ocean of wind.

The wind continued to grow, moments later, his whole person seemed to be in the middle of a storm, his robes moving with the wind, causing sounds of flapping.

And in the area of a hundred meters centered around him, visible wind blades could be seen, whistling through the air, causing the void to tremble as if slicing into menacing rows of gashes.

These wind blades, although sweeping around Kane Adams’ body, were felt by a group of people standing at a distance, giving a faint sense of their sharpness.

"Wind Blade Domain!"

Such a domain was not uncommon in the Martial Dao Sacred Land, Lower Domain.

Of course, though not rare, its power is immense, and ordinary people entering it would be shredded to pieces without the chance to react.

Because Wyatt Barnes stood more than a hundred meters away from Kane Adams, the Wind Blade Domain did not reach him, with the edge areas still over ten meters away.

Nevertheless, even so, Wyatt Barnes’ garments were swept and lifted by the incoming fierce wind, fluttering along and emitting sounds of flapping.

"Die!!"

At the same time, Kane Adams roared, his whole person like a lightning bolt shooting straight towards Wyatt Barnes.

Moving with him was the constantly whistling Wind Blade Domain, with wind blades breaking through the air with him, causing continuous screeching whistles, as if truly tearing through the void.

In an instant, the world seemed to lose its color.

Many Loose Cultivators couldn’t bear to close their eyes, unwilling to witness Wyatt Barnes being killed by wind blades.

In their view, this cold and stern-faced youth might not even withstand the domain of the Sky-scraping Mansion disciple, let alone engage in combat with the opponent.
